Item 1.   Business
 
Overview
 
Oplink Communications, Inc. (referred to in this report as “we,” “Oplink” or the “Company”) was incorporated in California in September 1995. We began selling our products in 1996, established operations in Zhuhai, China in April 1999 and reincorporated in Delaware in September 2000. We design, manufacture and sell optical networking components and subsystems. Our products expand optical bandwidth, amplify optical signals, monitor and protect wavelength performance, redirect light signals and provide signal transmission and reception within an optical network. Our products enable greater and higher quality bandwidth over longer distances, which reduces network congestion and transmission cost per bit. Our products also 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.
 
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, and more recently, line transmission applications. Our addressable markets include long-haul networks, metropolitan area networks (“MANs”), local area networks (“LANs”) and fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) networks.

As a photonic foundry, we provide design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (“OMS”) for advanced and cost-effective components and subsystem manufacturing at our principal in-house design, service and manufacturing facility in Zhuhai, China and through our contract manufacturer in Donguan, China. 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 as well as solutions with lower levels of component integration for customers that place more value on flexibility than would be provided with turnkey solutions. Our OMS customers include telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers located around the globe.
 
We undertake research and development activities at our Chinese facilities in Wuhan and Zhuhai, our Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park facility in Taiwan and at facilities in Fremont and Calabasas, California. The facilities in Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park in Taiwan and in Calabasas, California were acquired as a result of completing our acquisition of Optical Communication Products, Inc. (“OCP”) on October 31, 2007.
 
Through internal research and development, we have developed over 300 standard products that are sold as components or are integrated into custom solutions. We provide customers with high quality optical subsystems and components that are used for bandwidth creation, bandwidth management and transmission products. Our products and solutions can be applied to all segments of the fiber optic network infrastructure including long-haul networks, MANs, LANs and FTTH networks.
 
We provide our solution and products to the exacting requirements of the world’s leading optical networking equipment companies, and work closely with customers during the product design and development cycle. This provides us with the ability to respond to the volume production requirements of our customers when their systems

Our Strategy
 
Oplink provides highly integrated optical sub-systems, design services and custom solutions to telecommunications equipment makers. By leveraging our well-established core competencies in optical design and manufacturing, we are able to serve not only telecommunications equipment makers, but also module and component makers in need of a manufacturing partner.
 
The core elements of our strategy are:
 
Continuous focus on our cost structure.  Oplink maintains vertically integrated photonic manufacturing facilities in low-cost overseas locations. Our low cost manufacturing facilities allows us to do full design work in-house which enables us to supply cutting edge products at the lowest possible cost in the industry.
 
In an industry characterized by intense price competition and at times price erosion, our low cost structure is a source of sustainable competitive advantage. The source of this sustainability comes from the fact that we believe our design and manufacturing facilities are difficult and expensive to replicate by other firms. Despite our existing streamlined cost structure, we continuously identify and implement cost-saving programs across our organization.
 
The increase in the world-wide demand for broadband increases the demand for our products. With our vertically integrated cost structure, increasing world-wide demand leads to greater capacity utilization and therefore greater operating leverage as fixed costs are spread over a greater number of manufactured units, resulting in improved gross margins.
 
One-Stop-Shop Solution Provider.  Oplink offers a one-stop-shop approach or turn-key solutions in our OMS service that provide customized solutions to our customers’ specific needs. One-stop-shopping is being increasingly

demanded by our customers, the telecommunications network vendors. Our customers are increasingly requiring optical component suppliers to take advantage of developments in product integration to provide solutions incorporating multiple optical components on a single subsystem or module, thereby reducing the need for component assembly and additional testing. Therefore, we believe that suppliers like Oplink who are able to offer a more integrated manufacturing solution to customers will have an advantage over suppliers who can only offer discrete optical components. The vertical integration of our design and manufacturing capability enables us to consistently deliver the highest quality, lowest cost products to our customers as well as to respond rapidly to design or specification changes which would shorten our customer’s time-to-market. We believe that offering broad solutions increases our penetration of existing customers.
 
Selectively pursuing acquisitions.  From time to time Oplink engages in strategic discussions with other companies. In an industry characterized with excess capacity and intense price competition, we believe there are merits in continued industry consolidation. We intend to play an active part in the consolidation of the industry and will consider using acquisitions as a vehicle to broaden our product portfolio, obtain critical technologies, strengthen our relationships with existing customers and to add new customers.
 
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, bandwidth management and transmission products. Some of our products have attributes that combine multiple 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.
 
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.
 
  •  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.

Table of Contents

 
  •  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 sets of signals 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 EDFAs 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 EDFs 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.
 
  •  Wavelength Division Multiplexers (“WDM”) Pump/Signal Combiners.  Micro-optic WDM pump/signal combiners are components that combine 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.
 
  •  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 or EDF. 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 or for power splitting and have very low insertion loss.

Bandwidth Management Products
 
Communications equipment suppliers use our bandwidth management products to add intelligence and flexibility 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 power 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 signals 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:
 
  •  Reconfigurable OADMs (“ROADMs”).  ROADMs 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.
 
  •  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 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.

  •  Circulators.  Circulators consist of sophisticated micro-optic components that are used to re-direct optical signals. Circulators are also used in dispersion compensation applications and 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 signals to achieve equalization of the spectrum or blocking specific channels.
 
  •  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.
 
Transmission Products
 
The acquisition of OCP has enabled Oplink to offer a portfolio of transmission products that broaden the addressable markets as the well as the range of solutions that Oplink can now offer its customers. Oplink’s transmission products consists of a comprehensive line of high-performance fiber optic modules, including fiber optic transmitters, receivers, transceivers, and transponders, primarily for use in MAN, LAN, and FTTH applications. Fiber optic modules are pre-assembled components that are used to build network equipment. Our transmission products convert electronic signals into optical signals and back into electronic signals, thereby facilitating the transmission of information over fiber optic communication networks.
 
Our transmission products are engineered with varying levels of integration to suit customers. The lowest level of integration involves separate transmitter and receiver modules, which provides our customers the greatest flexibility in product design by allowing them to place the transmitters and the receivers according to their design specifications. Transceivers provide the next level of integration. Transceivers place both the transmitter and receiver in the same package with a dual fiber or connector interface.
 
Transmitters and Receivers — Transmitters convert an electronic digital input signal into an optical output signal for transmission over a fiber optic network. Receivers detect optical signals from a fiber optic network and convert them into an electronic signal in standard digital/logic format for further signal processing. Oplink offers separate transmitter and receiver modules that provide our customers with the greatest flexibility in product design by allowing them to place transmitters and receivers separately according to design specifications.
 
Oplink’s optical transmitter and receiver products support the SONET/SDH, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet transmission standards and are offered in a wide range of data rates, transmission distances and packaging options.
 
Transceivers — Optical transceivers are products that contain both a transmitter and a receiver in a single package and serve as high data rate interconnects between network devices, such as routers, switches, servers and access elements. Oplink’s optical transceivers are available in a wide variety of fiber optic interfaces, or form factors, and support a wide range of data rates, wavelengths, modes and transmission distances. Oplink’s

transceivers support the SONET/SDH, ATM, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GePON), Gigbabit Passive Optical Network (GPON), ESCON and Fiber Channel transmission standards.
 
SFP Transceivers — Small form-factor pluggable, or SFP, transceivers are “hot-pluggable” optical transceivers that can be removed or inserted into the equipment without turning off the power of the system. This feature allows Oplink’s customers to readily reconfigure their systems without interrupting their network services, thereby, eliminating system downtime during upgrades and maintenance. Oplink’s cam latches are color coded to provide the end-user with an easy way to identify module types in an installed system.
 
CWDM Transceivers — Coarse wavelength division multiplexing, or CWDM, transceivers, allow the mixing of optical signals by utilizing different wavelengths. The CWDM transceivers use lasers with wide channel wavelength spacing, typically 20 nm, which allows the equipment to achieve a lower overall system cost. This lower cost is the result of a lower transmitter cost since no temperature and wavelength control is needed, as well as a lower optical MUX/DMUX cost due to wider tolerance on the wavelength stability and bandwidth.
 
Oplink’s CWDM transceivers are available in all the common industry standard transceiver footprints of 1x9, 2x9, GBIC, SFF and SFP, and provide eight wavelength channels at nominally 1471 nm, 1491 nm, 1511 nm, 1531 nm, 1551 nm, 1571 nm, 1591 nm, and 1611 nm. They are available in a multi-rate format that allows operation at all speeds from 125 Mb/s Fast Ethernet up to 2.5Gb/s SONET/SDH. Oplink’s Gigabit Ethernet CWDM product family is available in an industrial operating temperature option (-40 to +85 degrees Celsius).
 
Bi-Directional Transceivers — Bi-Directional transceivers allow full duplex transmission utilizing a single fiber. These transceivers incorporate lasers, receivers and optical filters, allowing simultaneous transmission and reception from a single port or a single fiber. The advantage of Bi-Directional transceiver modules is lower material cost, lower installation cost and lower operational cost for fiber installations, as a result of having to purchase, install, maintain, and administer fewer fibers.
 
Oplink’s bi-Directional transceivers are available in industry standard pluggable modules (SFP) and are compliant to the industry standard known as EFM (Ethernet for First Mile). The data transmission rates are 1250Mb/s and 125Mb/s, which are the Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet standard rates, respectively. Our Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Bi-Directional product families are available in an industrial operating temperature option (-40 to +85 degree Celsius).
 
DWDM Transceivers — Dense wavelength division multiplexing, or DWDM, transceivers, allow the mixing of optical signals by utilizing different wavelengths. The DWDM transceivers use lasers with narrow channel wavelength spacing, typically 0.8 nm or 100GHz. DWDM transceivers enable an optical transport system to increase the transmission capacity over a single fiber.
 
Oplink’s DWDM transceivers are available in the SFP package, and provide 44 wavelength channels. They are available in a multi-rate format that allows operation at all speeds from 125Mb/s up to 2.67Gb/s and accommodate reaches up to 200km.
 
GePON products — OCP’s GePON product offering supports ONU (optical network unit) and OLT (optical line terminal) applications. The GePON modules transmit a duplex 1.25Gb/s optical signal over a single fiber between the OLT and ONU modules for both 10 kilometer and 20 kilometer transmission ranges. The OLT module transmits via a 1490nm laser source and the ONU unit transmits via a 1310nm laser source.
 
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, 2008, we sold our products to over 372 companies worldwide. Our top five customers, although not the same five customers for each period, together accounted for 60%, 64% and 52% of our revenues in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Tellabs Operations, Inc. (“Tellabs”) and Hua Wei Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Huawei”) accounted for greater than 10% of our revenues for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Flextronics Canada, Inc. (“Flextronics”) and Huawei each accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue for the fiscal year

Table of Contents

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. 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, 2008, Oplink employed 44 people in sales, marketing and customer service and support in the U.S. and 20 people in sales and marketing in Asia, 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. We gather and analyze market research data with the intent to become a market-driven supplier that provides cost-effective, value-add solutions to our customer base. 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. Our web site provides customers with a comprehensive listing of our broad product portfolio. We provide extensive technical support to our customers during their design and qualification process as well as ongoing post-sales support.
 
Product Development
 
As of June 30, 2008, Oplink had 246 engineers involved in research and development of its products. Oplink’s 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, module and subsystem development center is located in Zhuhai, China and our access market system development center is located in Wuhan, China. Our research and development expense, including non-cash compensation expense, was $15.4 million, $7.4 million and $6.7 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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, modules and components, and to develop new technologies and products to serve the current and next-generation communication markets.
 
We believe that some of our competitors are developing products similar to those that we have under development. While we are currently developing products in all of the areas described above, we may choose to prioritize or redirect our development efforts in response to market demands. Therefore, it is not certain that we will introduce products for any or all of the categories listed above.
 
Manufacturing
 
We currently manufacture substantially all of our subsystems, modules and components at our manufacturing facilities in Zhuhai, China and through our contract manufacturer in Donguan, China, SAE Magnetics (H.K.) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation. We maintain a pilot line at our headquarters in Fremont, California. 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 58,000 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.
 
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.
 
Quality
 
We have established a quality management system to assure that the products we provide to our customers meet or exceed industry standards. Oplink’s products undergo rigid qualification tests and studies and are conducted according to Telcordia standards. Oplink’s ongoing reliability testing builds upon industry standards to establish continuous reliability improvements through intensive tests and performance measures. These systems are based on the international standard ISO 9001. Our U.S. headquarters have been modeled after the ISO 9001-1994 and TL 9000 quality standards in research and manufacturing since July 1998. Our manufacturing operations at Zhuhai, China are both third-party certified to the ISO 9001-2000, TL 9000 Telecommunications quality standard, and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 environmental management standard.
 
Competition
 
The markets in which we sell our products are highly competitive. Our overall competitive position depends upon a number of factors, including:
 
  •  competitive pricing;
 
  •  the quality of our manufacturing processes and products;
 
  •  the breadth of our product line;
 
  •  offering short-lead times;
 
  •  availability, performance and reliability of our products;
 
  •  the effective integration of OCP;
 
  •  our ability to participate in the growth of emerging technologies;
 
  •  the ability to win designs through prototyping;
 
  •  established relationships with key customers;
 
  •  ability to provide technical design support;
 
  •  the compatibility of our products with existing communications networks;
 
  •  manufacturing capacity and capability; and
 
  •  our financial strength.
 
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.

The market for fiber optic modules is highly competitive and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Our primary competitors include Avago Technologies, Avanex Corporation, DiCon Fiberoptics, ExceLight Communications and its parent corporation, Sumitomo Electric, FDK Corporation, Finisar, Furukawa, MRV Communications, NEL Hitachi Cable, OpNext, Optium, Santec Corporation, JDS Uniphase Corporation and numerous optical component manufacturers in China. We also face indirect competition from public and private companies providing non-fiber optic networking products that address the same networking needs that our products address. The development of alternative solutions to fiber optic transmission needs by our competitors, particularly systems companies that also manufacture modules, such as JDS Uniphase, could significantly limit our growth and harm our competitive position.
 
Many of our current competitors and potential competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we do. As a result, these competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. In addition, those of our competitors that have large market capitalization or cash reserves are in a much better position to acquire other companies in order to gain new technologies or products that may displace our products. Any of these potential acquisitions could give our competitors a strategic advantage. In addition, many of our competitors have much greater brand name recognition, more extensive customer bases, more developed distribution channels and broader product offerings than we do. These companies can use their broader customer bases and product offerings and adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market share.
 
Intellectual Property
 
As of June 30, 2008, we had been granted 183 issued patents and have 11 patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for various technologies and products. 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 18 issued patents and 7 pending patent applications in the People’s Republic of China, and 4 issued patents and 2 pending patent applications in Canada.
 
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.
 
Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the optical communications industry. We cannot make any assurances that 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, 2008, Oplink had 169 full-time employees located in the United States, and 2,659 full-time employees located in Asia. None of our employees in the United States are represented by a labor union. All of our employees in China 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
 
The following risk factors and other information included in this report should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
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.
 
Although we were profitable in fiscal years 2007 and 2006 with net income of $13.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, we did incurred losses of $6.8 million, $2.6 million, $6.4 million and $36.8 million for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $219 million.
 
We will need to increase our revenues while controlling costs and operating expenses to achieve and sustain profitability. Our recent acquisition of Optical Communication Products, Inc. (“OCP”), which was reporting net losses prior to being acquired by us, has adversely impacted our net income and will continue to do so until we can successfully reduce the costs of OCP’s operations and more fully integrate OCP’s operations with our own.
 
Our quarterly revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which may cause our stock price to drop.
 
It is difficult to forecast our revenues accurately. Our revenues, 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 that are likely to cause these variations include, among others:
 
  •  fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products;
 
  •  declines in the average selling prices of our products;
 
  •  fluctuations in the mix of products sold during a quarter (for example, the percentage of total sales represented by lower margin products such as our ROADM products);


15


Table of Contents

 
  •  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;
 
  •  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 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, are fixed in the short term;
 
  •  the availability of materials and components used in our products or increases in the prices of these materials;
 
  •  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; and
 
  •  costs associated with, and the outcomes of, any intellectual property or other litigation to which we may be a party.
 
Our recent acquisition of OCP may prove unfavorable to us and our stockholders, because we may not realize expected benefits or synergies.
 
Our recent acquisition of OCP may prove unfavorable to us and our stockholders. We may not be able to successfully integrate OCP’s business with our own, and we may not realize expected benefits or synergies. The price paid for OCP and the expenses incurred in the transaction may be higher than the actual value of the acquired business. Consolidating OCP’s operating results with our own has impaired our consolidated operating results due to OCP’s lower gross margins, higher operating expenses, and lack of profitability, and may continue to impair our results in the future.
 
As part of the integration of OCP into Oplink, we have discontinued certain product lines, which is expected to reduce revenue generated by OCP. Further, the integration of OCP’s manufacturing operations with ours, and the transfer of the manufacturing of OCP products to facilities in China has resulted in our temporary inability to meet all of the potential demand for OCP’s products, which will further reduce OCP revenue. Furthermore, even if we are successful in ramping up our capacity for OCP products, there is a risk that we will lose OCP customers due to them being forced to fill their orders from our competitors during this period.
 
If we are unsuccessful in maintaining OCP’s revenue while seeking to reduce its cost structure by integrating its manufacturing with ours, our results of operations will continue to be negatively affected by the OCP acquisition. Failure to realize the expected benefits from the OCP acquisition may also result in an impairment to the goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the OCP acquisition.
 
We depend on the growth and success of the communications industry, which is subject to severe fluctuations in economic activity.
 
We depend on the continued growth and success of the communications industry, which depends, in part, on the continuing growth in demand for increased bandwidth over communications networks. 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.
 
Further, 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 contract 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.
 
The recent turmoil in the credit markets coupled with the widely-held view that the US may be heading into a recession has had a negative impact on the general business environment that has been felt globally. Such macroeconomic stresses could not only adversely impact our revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 but could disproportionately impact our stock price as stock investors seek a “flight to safety” during these turbulent periods.
 
Based on these and other factors, customers may reduce orders for our products and, as a result, our revenue in future periods may decline. In addition, our ability to meet financial expectations for future periods may be harmed.
 
We expect volatility in our stock price, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
 
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 of $22.38 in October 2006 to a recent low of $8.65 in late March 2008. These fluctuations may occur in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
 
  •  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;
 
  •  economic fluctuations in the market for optical communications products, or in the telecommunications industry generally;
 
  •  the outcome of, and costs associated with, any litigation to which we are or may become a party;
 
  •  departures of key management or engineering personnel; and
 
  •  future sales of our common stock.
 
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, price pressures from significant customers, greater manufacturing efficiencies achieved through increased automation in the manufacturing process 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. These declining ASPs have contributed and may continue to contribute to a decline in our gross margins, which could harm our results of operations.
 
Our ROADM Optical Switching and Routing product has accounted for a significant portion of our revenues for recent periods. We have recently experienced declines in both unit shipments and ASPs of our ROADM products as a result of increased competition, and we expect this trend to continue.
 
Our ROADM products accounted for 23%, 31% and 3% of our revenues for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Quarterly revenues from our ROADM products have fluctuated significantly, and we expect the fluctuations to continue. For example, our ROADM revenues during fiscal 2008 fluctuated from a high of $13.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to a low of $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. We expect the fluctuations in ROADM revenues to continue in the near and medium term.
 
There is intense competition in the industry to supply ROADM products to our customers. Currently, our ROADM product is sold to one customer, who in turn sells the product primarily to one end-user customer. Previously, our ROADM customer was the sole-source supplier of such product for the end-user customer. The end-


17


Table of Contents

user customer has announced that it has qualified another company as an alternative optical network system supplier. We expect this development, along with increased competition from other suppliers of ROADM products, to reduce our revenues from the sale of our ROADM products. In addition, we are not the sole source supplier for our customer, and we must compete with other suppliers for the business of our ROADM customer.
 
Further, because the primary components of our ROADM product are available from third party vendors, our competitors may be able to introduce additional competing ROADM products without significant expenditures of resources and without long delays to market. The vendor that provides the primary and critical component to our ROADM product may also be acquired by another company, which could result in us losing all of our current ROADM business.
 
If our customers do not approve our manufacturing processes and qualify our products, we will lose significant customer sales and opportunities.
 
Customers generally will not purchase any of our products before they qualify them and approve our manufacturing processes and quality control system. If particular customers do not approve of our manufacturing processes, we will lose the sales opportunities with those customers.
 
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. Generally, customers consider a wide range of issues before purchasing our products, including interoperation with other components, product performance and reliability. 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. If sales forecasts to specific customers are not realized, our revenue and results of operations may be negatively impacted. 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 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 dependence on orders from a relatively small number of customers makes our relationship with each customer critical to our business.
 
Our top five customers, although not the same five customers for each period, together accounted for 60%, 64% and 52% of our revenues for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
In addition, one customer accounted for 30% of our revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. We expect that the majority of our revenues will continue to depend on sales to a relatively small number of customers. We may not be the sole source of supply to our customers, and they may choose to purchase products from other vendors. The loss of one or more of our significant customers, our inability to successfully develop relationships with additional customers or future price reductions could cause our revenue to decline significantly. 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.
 
Our markets are highly competitive, some of our customers are also our competitors, and our other customers may choose to purchase our competitors’ products rather than our products or develop internal capabilities to produce their own fiber optic modules.
 
The market for fiber optic components, modules and subsystems is highly competitive and we expect competition to intensify in the future. Our primary competitors include Avago Technologies, Avanex Corporation, DiCon Fiberoptics, ExceLight Communications and its parent corporation, Sumitomo Electric, FDK Corporation, Finisar, Furukawa, MRV


18


Table of Contents

Communications, NEL Hitachi Cable, OpNext, Optium, Santec Corporation, JDS Uniphase Corporation and numerous optical component manufacturers in China. We also face indirect competition from public and private companies providing non-fiber optic networking products that address the same networking needs that our products address. The development of alternative solutions to fiber optic transmission needs by our competitors, particularly systems companies that also manufacture modules, such as JDS Uniphase, could significantly limit our growth and harm our competitive position.
 
Many of our current competitors and potential competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we do. As a result, these competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. In addition, those of our competitors that have large market capitalization or cash reserves are in a much better position to acquire other companies in order to gain new technologies or products that may displace our products. Any of these potential acquisitions could give our competitors a strategic advantage. In addition, many of our competitors have much greater brand name recognition, more extensive customer bases, more developed distribution channels and broader product offerings than we do. These companies can use their broader customer bases and product offerings and adopt aggressive pricing policies to gain market share.
 
In addition, existing and potential customers, especially in Japan and other international markets, may also become competitors. These customers have the internal capabilities to integrate their operations by producing their own optical modules or by acquiring our competitors or the rights to produce competitive products or technologies, which may allow them to reduce their purchases or cease purchasing from us.
 
We expect our competitors to introduce new and improved products with lower prices, and we will need to do the same to remain competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully against either current or future competitors with respect to new products. We believe that competitive pressures may result in price reductions, reduced margins, additional write down of inventory and our loss of market share.
 
Because we depend on third parties to supply some of our raw materials and components, we may not be able to obtain sufficient quantities of these materials, which could limit our ability to fill customer orders and harm our operating results.
 
Difficulties in obtaining raw materials and components 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 materials and components we use to manufacture our products and some of these third parties are close to full capacity. Adding extra capacity could be time consuming and expensive for Oplink. To be competitive, we must obtain from our suppliers, on a timely basis, sufficient quantities of materials at acceptable prices. We obtain most of our critical materials from a single or limited number of suppliers and generally do not have long-term supply contracts with them. We could experience discontinuation of key components, price increases and late deliveries from our suppliers.
 
The termination of the supply of a particular material, which would require us to redesign our products, identify and qualify acceptable replacement suppliers. We cannot be certain that we could obtain qualifications for such replacements from our customers.
 
Some of our suppliers are competitors who may choose not to supply components to us in the future. 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.
 
If we are unable develop new products and product enhancements that achieve market acceptance, our revenues could decline, which would harm our operating results.
 
The market for our products is characterized by rapid technological change, new and improved product introductions, changes in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. Our future success will depend to a substantial extent on our ability to develop, introduce and support cost-effective new products and technologies on a timely basis.


19


Table of Contents

Our failure to predict market needs accurately or to develop or obtain through acquisition new products or product enhancements in a timely manner may harm market acceptance and sales of our products. If the development of our 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 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.
 
The development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation and highly skilled engineering and development personnel, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. Because the costs for research and development of new products and technology are expensed as incurred, such costs will have a negative impact on our reported net operating results until such time, if ever, that we generate revenue from products or technology resulting from such research and development. If we fail to develop and deploy new cost-effective products and technologies or enhancements of existing products on a timely basis, or if we experience delays in the development, introduction or enhancement of our products and technologies, our products may no longer be competitive, our revenue will decline and we may have inventory that may become obsolete or in excess of future customer demand. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that our new products will gain market acceptance or that we will be able to respond effectively to product announcements by competitors, technological changes or emerging industry standards. Our failure to respond to product announcements, technological changes or industry changes in standards would likely prevent our products from gaining market acceptance and harm our competitive position.
 
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.
 
If we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses or technologies, our operating results may be harmed.
 
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;
 
  •  intangible asset write-offs;
 
  •  research and development write-offs;
 
  •  other acquisition-related expenses; and
 
  •  cannibalization of product lines leading to revenue attrition.
 
Our acquisition of businesses or technologies will require significant commitment of resources. We may be required to pay for any acquisition with cash, but we cannot be certain that additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. Potential acquisitions also involve numerous risks, including:
 
  •  problems assimilating the purchased operations, technologies or products;
 
  •  unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;


20


Table of Contents

 
  •  diversion of management’s attention from our core business;
 
  •  adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
 
  •  risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; and
 
  •  potential loss of key employees of purchased organizations.
 
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 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.
 
Our acquisition of OCP has added to the complexity of effectively managing our manufacturing capability and meeting customers’ order requirements in a timely manner. We recently completed the transfer of the manufacturing of OCP’s products to facilities in China. We may continue to experience delays, disruption or quality problems arising from such transfer. As a result, we may incur additional costs that would adversely affect our gross margins, and product shipments to our customers could be delayed beyond requested shipment schedules, which could adversely affect our revenues, competitive position and reputation.
 
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, the prior experience in manufacturing the specific product and our manufacturing processes. The inadvertent use by our suppliers in using defective materials could significantly reduce our manufacturing yields.
 
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;
 
  •  vulnerability of telecommunications networks in East Asia to natural disasters, such as the recent earthquake that damaged several undersea fiber-optic cables responsible for Internet and telephone connections with parts of China; and
 
  •  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


21


Table of Contents

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.
 
If we fail to predict our manufacturing requirements accurately, we could incur additional carrying costs and have excess and obsolete inventory or we could experience manufacturing delays, which could cause us to lose orders or customers.
 
We currently use historical data, a backlog of orders and estimates of future requirements to determine our demand for components and materials. We must accurately predict both the demand for our products and the lead time required to obtain the necessary components and materials. Lead times for components and materials vary significantly depending on factors such as the specific supplier, the size of the order, contract terms and demand for each component at a given time. As a result, we generally maintain high levels of inventories that periodically cause us to have excess and obsolete inventory. However, if we were to underestimate our purchasing requirements, manufacturing could be interrupted, resulting in delays in shipments, which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and margins.
 
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. 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.
 
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 on short notice;
 
  •  are free to purchase products from our competitors;
 
  •  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. 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.
 
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. In addition, we do not have “key person” life insurance policies covering any of our employees. Our loss of any key employee, the failure of any key employee to perform in his or her current position, or the inability of our officers and key employees to expand, train and manage our employee base may prevent us from executing our growth strategy.
 
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 experience changes in the future.
 
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 and the new Taiwan dollar. Our operating results are therefore subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Any significant revaluation of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, operating results and financial position. 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, 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. Our business could be negatively impacted if we are unable to convert and remit our sales received in Renminbi into U.S. dollars.
 
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 taxation 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 the U.S. tax authorities. 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 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 the form of tax holidays in China that are generally available to foreign investment enterprises. 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 qualify for preferential tax treatment in the future, they may be required to pay for income tax on past profits or they may lose a portion or


23


Table of Contents

all of the benefits of the tax holiday. If China further elects to repeal or reduce the tax benefits available to us in the future, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
 
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 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. 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. In the process of asserting our intellectual property rights, these rights could be found to be invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. Failure to successfully assert our intellectual property rights could result in our inability to prevent our competitors from utilizing our proprietary rights. 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 monetary 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.
 
Our failure to comply with governmental regulations could subject us to liability. New laws could be enacted that increase the risks and costs to Oplink. A new labor contract law has been enacted in China.
 
Failure to comply with a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States, China and Taiwan could subject us to criminal, civil and administrative penalties. On January 1, 2008, a new labor contract law (“LCL”) went into effect in China. We believe that the new law will reduce our flexibility in hiring employees and in


24


Table of Contents

terminating the employment of employees, could increase the risk of hiring employees, and could increase the cost of any future restructuring that involves our Chinese facilities, which could result in a material adverse impact on our profitability and liquidity.
 
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 Taiwan, and disclosure of technology to foreign citizens. 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 Taiwan and, as a result, are subject to various Chinese, Taiwanese 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. 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 and Taiwan 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 and Taiwanese tax authorities, and the affected U.S. employees may be required to register with various Chinese and Taiwanese governmental authorities. If we fail to comply with the foregoing laws and regulations or any other applicable laws and regulations, we may incur liabilities.
 
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.
 
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 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 internal control


25


Table of Contents

over financial reporting existed as of June 30, 2008, 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 future periods.
 
The acquisition of OCP further increased the need to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as of June 30, 2008. As a result of the acquisition of OCP, we have identified areas of internal control over financial reporting requiring improvement, and plan to design enhanced processes and controls to address these and any other issues that might be identified through a review. As a result, we expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time.
 
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 Oplink’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of the end of such fiscal year, or if Oplink’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of Oplink’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 Oplink’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 of 2002, 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 manner in which we conduct our business. Further, such changes could potentially affect our reporting of transactions completed before such changes are effective.
 
Disruption to commercial activities in the United States or in other countries, particularly in China and Taiwan, 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 and Taiwan. 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;
 
  •  disruptions of telecommunications networks due to natural disasters;
 
  •  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 Oplink’s 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


26


Table of Contents

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. 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 Taiwan and especially China could disrupt our operations. There is currently political tension between 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.
 
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
 
  •  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 3.   Legal Proceedings
 
IPO Litigation
 
In November 2001, Oplink 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 Oplink, certain of Oplink’s officers and directors and the underwriters of Oplink’s initial public offering (“IPO”) violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegations that Oplink’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, Oplink 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 Oplink’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 Oplink and almost all of the Issuers, and granting the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) claim against Oplink without leave to amend.
 
In June 2004, Oplink and almost all of the other Issuers executed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. In February 2005, the court certified the litigation as a class action for settlement purposes and granted preliminary approval of the settlement, subject to certain modifications. In August 2005, the court reaffirmed class certification and preliminary approval of the modified settlement. On February 24, 2006, the Court dismissed litigation filed against certain underwriters in connection with the claims to be assigned to the plaintiffs under the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a Final Fairness Hearing to determine whether to grant final approval of the settlement. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the lower Court’s earlier decision certifying as class actions the six IPO Lawsuits designated as “focus cases.” Thereafter, the district court ordered a stay of proceedings in all of the IPO Cases pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ rehearing petition, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the district court. Accordingly, the settlement was terminated pursuant to stipulation.
 
Plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases on or about August 14, 2007. The case against Oplink is not a focus case. In September 2007, Oplink’s named officers and directors again extended the tolling agreement with plaintiffs. On or about September 27, 2007, plaintiffs moved to certify the classes alleged in the focus cases and to appoint class representatives and class counsel in those cases. The focus case issuers filed motions to dismiss the claims against them in November 2007 and an opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in December 2007. Judge Scheindlin denied the motions to dismiss on March 16, 2008; the deadline for the focus case defendants to answer the amended complaints has not yet been set. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we can not accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.
 
IPO 16(b) Claim
 
On October 12, 2007, Vanessa Simmonds filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington a Complaint for Recovery of Short Swing Profits Under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase & Company as defendants, and against Oplink as a nominal defendant. The complaint does not seek recovery of damages or other relief against Oplink. The Complaint alleges


28


Table of Contents

that in the years 2000 and 2001 the underwriters and unnamed officers, directors and principal shareholders of Oplink acted as a “group” by coordinating their efforts to undervalue the IPO price of Oplink and to thereafter inflate the aftermarket price throughout the six month lock-up period. The Complaint further alleges that the underwriters profited by (a) sharing in profits of customers to whom they had made IPO allocations; (b) allocating shares of Oplink to insiders at other companies from whom the underwriters expected to receive additional work in return; and (c) by creating the opportunity (through the alleged laddering practices) for Oplink’s directors, officers and other insiders to profit through their sale of stock after the lock-up period in return for future business for the underwriter. In October 2007, approximately 55 companies that issued stock were named as nominal defendants in suits filed by Ms. Simmonds. All of these cases have now been transferred to one judge at the U.S. District Court. On February 28, 2008, Ms. Simmonds filed an Amended Complaint asserting substantially similar claims as those set forth in the initial complaint. At the initial status hearing on April 28, 2008, the Judge set a briefing schedule for motions to dismiss to be filed by the underwriters. Oplink has waived service and anticipates also filing a motion to dismiss. The Judge stayed discovery until the court rules on all motions to dismiss.
 
Oplink vs. O-Net Communications, et al.
 
On June 7, 2007, Oplink initiated legal action against several parties by filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Oplink’s amended complaint alleges claims for Patent Infringement, Trade Secret Misappropriation, Breach of the Duty of Loyalty, Unfair Competition, Breach of Contract and Intentional Interference With Contractual Relations against O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd., Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc., and Chunmeng Wu. The amended complaint requests an order enjoining O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd. and Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. from making, using or selling devices covered by Oplink’s patents, an order enjoining Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. and Wu from misappropriating Oplink’s trade secrets, monetary damages, attorney’s fees and costs. Pursuant to a stipulation between the litigants, the U.S. District Court transferred Oplink’s First Amended Complaint to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. On September 17, 2007 O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd. and Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. filed a counterclaim for Declaratory Judgment against Oplink declaring that O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd. and Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. have not infringed on Oplink’s patents, a judgment declaring that three patents held by Oplink are invalid, and an award of attorney’s fees and costs. On August 26, 2008, Oplink, O-Net, Multiwave and Wu entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement resolving all claims at issue in the lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to a license agreement and other provisions that are subject to a confidentiality provision and O-Net acknowledged the validity of the Oplink patents at issue in the lawsuit. The parties will jointly file with the court a stipulation dismissing all claims with prejudice following the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement.
 
Merlin Partners, LP vs. Optical Communication Products, Inc., et al.
 
On October 3, 2007, a complaint, Merlin Partners, LP vs. Optical Communication Products, Inc., Oplink Communications, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by an entity identifying itself as a stockholder of OCP purporting to represent a class of all stockholders other than the defendants named in the complaint. The lawsuit named OCP, all of the members of OCP’s board of directors, a former OCP director, and Oplink as defendants. The complaint alleged, among other things, that OCP’s directors and Oplink breached their fiduciary duties to OCP stockholders by failing to disclose all material facts in the proxy statement relating to the merger and by failing to negotiate a higher price to be paid to OCP stockholders in the merger. On October 23, 2007, a Memorandum of Understanding was executed to settle the lawsuit. Pursuant to the settlement, OCP made supplemental disclosures to the proxy statement by means of the public filing of a Form 8-K; however, neither OCP nor any other defendant made any admission that such supplemental disclosures were material. The settlement was subject to customary conditions, including court approval following notice to members of the settlement class. On May 5, 2008, after notice to the settlement class, the court held a hearing regarding the proposed settlement. At this hearing, the court approved the settlement and awarded attorney’s fees to plaintiff’s counsel to be paid by Oplink. The settlement resolves all claims that were or could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the action settled, including all claims relating to the merger, the merger agreement and any disclosure made in connection therewith.

Oplink 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 Oplink’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Overview
 
Oplink Communications, Inc. (“We”, “Oplink”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in California in September 1995 and was later reincorporated in Delaware in September 2000. We are headquartered in Fremont, California and have manufacturing, design and research and development facilities in Zhuhai and Wuhan, China, in Taiwan and in Calabasas, California.
 
We began selling our products in 1996. 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, and more recently, line transmission applications. Our

addressable markets include long-haul networks, metropolitan area networks (“MANs”), local area networks (“LANs”) and fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) networks. Our customers include telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers located around the globe.
 
We offer our customers design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (“OMS”) for the production and packaging of highly-integrated optical subsystems and turnkey solutions, based upon a customer’s specific product design and specifications. We also offer solutions with lower levels of component integration for customers that place more value on flexibility than would be provided with turnkey solutions.
 
The acquisition of Optical Communication Products, Inc. (“OCP”) has enabled Oplink to offer a portfolio of transmission products that broaden the addressable markets as well as the range of solutions that we can now offer our customers. Our transmission products consist of a comprehensive line of high-performance fiber optic modules, including fiber optic transmitters, receivers, transceivers, and transponders, primarily for use in MAN, LAN, and FTTH applications. Fiber optic modules are pre-assembled components that are used to build network equipment. Our transmission products convert electronic signals into optical signals and back into electronic signals, thereby facilitating the transmission of information over fiber optic communication networks.
 
REVENUES.  We generate substantially all of our revenues from the sale of fiber optic components and subsystems. To date, excluding the products sold by OCP, we have developed over 300 standard products that are sold or integrated into customized solutions for our customers. Our products are generally categorized into the three following major groups: bandwidth creation products, which include wavelength expansion and optical amplification products; bandwidth management products, which include optical switching products and wavelength performance monitoring and protection products; and transmission products. A significant proportion 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, 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, 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) under the modified prospective application method. 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.
 
Our stock compensation is generally accounted for as an equity instrument. In one instance, however, a grant of 62,500 shares of restricted stock was surrendered by an OCP executive officer. The cash settlement was recorded as


35


Table of Contents

a liability on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. The liability was settled for a cash consideration of $103,125 on January 2, 2008.
 
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 pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).
 
As of June 30, 2008, the unrecorded deferred stock compensation balance related to stock options to purchase Oplink common stock was $10.9 million which will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 2.9 years. Approximately $8,000 of stock compensation was capitalized as inventory at June 30, 2008 and 2007. At June 30, 2008, we also issued 19,784 stock awards with a total grant-date fair value of $266,000.
 
ACQUISITIONS.  On June 5, 2007, we consummated the acquisition from Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (“Furukawa”) of its majority interest in OCP. We acquired all 66,000,000 shares of OCP common stock held by Furukawa, constituting approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares in common stock. The acquisition of the 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007.
 
In fiscal 2008, the preliminary accounting was updated, which resulted in an increase to the purchase price to $102.9 million from $99.7 million to include assumed liabilities of $3.2 million. The assumed liabilities are for costs incurred to close down OCP facilities that are no longer needed, costs incurred to reduce the number of employees, costs incurred as a result of change-in-control provisions for OCP executives and costs incurred to cancel pre-existing contracts. The liabilities incurred are included in the purchase price in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 95-3”). The allocation of the revised purchase price of $102.9 million was updated to reflect updated valuations for inventory and fixed assets and assumed liabilities as follows:
 
         
Net working capital
  $ 87,235  
Net fixed assets
    3,696  
Other net assets
    2,951  
Identifiable intangible assets
    9,012  
         
Total purchase price
  $ 102,894  
         
 
On October 31, 2007, Oplink completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares in common stock of OCP that it did not already own, by means of a merger between OCP and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink. The merger was approved on October 31, 2007 by OCP shareholders holding more than two thirds of OCP common stock not held by Oplink. The merger became effective immediately after the close of trading on October 31, 2007. As a result of the merger, OCP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we paid $1.65 per share in cash, or approximately $79.4 million in the aggregate, to former holders of the 42% of OCP common stock not held by Oplink. In connection with the merger, we assumed 5,420,687 outstanding stock options issued pursuant to OCP’s stock option plans and converted them into 594,679 options to purchase shares of Oplink common stock pursuant to the conversion terms stated in the merger agreement.
 
The acquisition of 48,107,148 shares of OCP common stock, which represented approximately 42% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock that Oplink did not already own has been accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of October 31, 2007, which was the acquisition completion date.

The purchase price for the remaining 42% stake in OCP was allocated to OCP’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded as a result of the excess of purchase price for the 42% of OCP’s outstanding common stock over the fair values of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. The allocation of purchase price for the remaining 42% stake in OCP is shown below (in thousands):

Intangible assets are comprised of technology, trademarks and customer relationships. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of between 4 years and 6 years. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. Management believes that no impairment indicators currently exist. Management will continue to monitor goodwill for potential impairment indicators pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

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 disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, accounts receivable, inventories, tangible and intangible assets, warranty obligations, 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.
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. A critical accounting policy is one that is both material to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. These policies may require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate, and different estimates that we could have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies cover the following areas:
 
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,” and 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.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
 
Depreciation expenses are 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 5 years are used for manufacturing and engineering equipment. Estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 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. Land and construction in process are not depreciated. Improvements and betterments are capitalized if they extend the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Accrued Warranty
 
We provide reserves for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized based on historical experience of known product failure rates and expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. We generally provide a one-year warranty on our products. Additionally, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. Alternatively, if estimates are determined to be greater than the actual amounts necessary, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods.


38


Table of Contents

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 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 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. At the point of write down, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. If there were to be a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products, or if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we could be required to increase inventory write-downs, and our gross margin could be adversely affected. 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, 2008, 2007 and 2006. In such instances, our gross margins were positively impacted by the utilization of fully reserved inventory of $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $698,000 in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, excluding any impact from OCP.
 
Impairment of Investments
 
We determine the appropriate classification of our investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. Our marketable securities may be classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale as prescribed by SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that we have both the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. 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. Should a decline in the fair value of an individual security or securities be judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security would be written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down would be accounted for as a realized loss. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the magnitude of the decline in market value, the length of time the fair value has been below the cost basis of the security, and our ability and intent to hold the security for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the security.
 
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 pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. 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


39


Table of Contents

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 year 2008, a charge of $517,000 was recorded based upon an impairment analysis of the carrying amount of the purchased intangible assets related to the acquisition of F3. There was no impairment charge recorded in fiscal years 2007 and 2006.
 
Business Combination
 
We account for the acquisition of 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” (“SFAS No. 142”). 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 with definite lives to expense over time and immediately expense in-process research and development costs, or IP R&D, at the time 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.
 
Liabilities assumed as part of an acquisition are included in the purchase price in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 95-3”).
 
On an on-going basis, SFAS No. 142 requires that we review and test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on at least an annual basis. We may be required to review and test for impairment more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.
 
Income Taxes
 
We account 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. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
 
Effective July 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” See Note 12 — “Income Taxes” in the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
 
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 valuation 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 volatility was 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


40


Table of Contents

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 valuation 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 options 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 valuation 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 application of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB 107 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.
 
Loss Contingencies
 
We are or have been subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. We evaluate contingent liabilities including threatened or pending litigation in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies”. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceedings is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based upon management’s judgment and the best information available to management at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise our estimates.

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2008 increased by $68.8 million from the year ended June 30, 2007 mainly due to the acquisition of OCP, which accounted for $48.0 million or 70% of the increase in revenues. We acquired approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007 with the remaining 42% being acquired in October 2007. As a result, revenues for fiscal year 2008 included a full year of revenues from OCP while revenue for fiscal 2007 only included one month of revenue from OCP.
 
Oplink’s core revenues, which exclude any impact from the OCP acquisition, increased by $20.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007, primarily driven by higher unit shipments in all major product categories, being partially offset by declining average selling prices. The increase in shipments was primarily due to a general increase in spending activity in the telecommunications industry.
 
We expect consolidated revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to be in the range of $38 million to $42 million. We expect this increase to result from the continued increase in unit shipments, partially offset by further declines in average selling prices, which is a characteristic of the industry.

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased by $52.7 million from the year ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to increased unit shipments of our optical switching and routing products, in particular our ROADM optical switching and routing products to an existing customer. The increase in revenues from higher unit shipments was partially offset by decreases in the average selling prices of products during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. In addition, the acquisition of approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock accounted for $6.6 million or 12.5% of the increase in revenues in fiscal year 2007.

The increase in gross profit of $6.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to higher revenues as a result of higher unit shipments, including shipments attributable to the acquisition of OCP, being partially offset by higher material costs, labor costs, and manufacturing overhead expenses associated with the higher unit shipments, and higher reserves and adjustments of $7.3 million which was primarily related to OCP inventories. We acquired approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007 with the remaining 42% being acquired in October 2007. As a result, OCP contributed a full year of gross profit for fiscal year 2008 while it contributed one month of gross profit for fiscal 2007. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2008 was positively impacted by the sale of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $1.2 million, compared to the sale of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2007.
 
Our gross profit margin decreased for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007 due to higher material costs relative to revenues, which was driven by higher sales of lower margin OCP products and our ROADM optical switching and routing product for which the components are primarily obtained from third party vendors resulting in lower margin, $7.3 million of reserves and adjustments associated with OCP inventories, and higher labor costs and manufacturing expenses as a percentage of revenues. We expect our overall gross profit margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to decrease slightly compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, due to expected higher sales of OCP products and ROADM optical switching and routing products which generally have lower gross profit margins and increased labor costs and manufacturing expenses in China relative to sales.
 
The increase in gross profit of $13.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to a higher number of unit shipments, being partially offset by slightly higher production labor and manufacturing overhead expenses associated with the higher unit shipments. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2007 was positively impacted by the sales of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $1.3 million, compared to the sales of inventory for the year ended June 30, 2006 of inventory that had been previously fully reserved of $698,000.
 
Our gross profit margin decreased for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 due to higher material costs relative to revenues, which was due to higher sales of lower margin ROADM optical switching and routing products.

Research and development expenses increased by $8.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. We acquired approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007 and in October 2007, OCP became a 100% owned subsidiary of Oplink. Consequently, fiscal 2008 included a full year of research and development expenses from OCP while fiscal 2007 included one month of research and development expense from OCP. The acquisition of OCP accounted for $6.8 million or 85% of the increase in research and development expenses. In addition, higher salary expenses driven by increased research and development programs being undertaken at our research facilities in China and higher stock compensation expense associated with new stock option grants also contributed to the increase in research and development expenses.
 
We believe that developing customer solutions at the prototype stage is critical to our strategic product development objectives. We further believe that, in order to meet the changing requirements of our customers, we will need to fund investments in several concurrent product development projects and to assign more employees to these projects. Therefore, we anticipate our research and development expenses, including stock compensation expenses, to increase slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 increased by $717,000. The increase was primarily attributable to the OCP acquisition which accounted for an increase in expense of $998,000. Excluding the impact from the OCP acquisition, research and development expenses declined as research and development programs were transitioned from higher cost facilities in the United States to lower cost facilities in China.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses of $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to the acquisition of OCP which accounted for $3.2 million or 68% of the increase. We acquired approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007 with the remaining 42% being acquired in October 2007. As a result, fiscal 2008 had a full year of sales and marketing expenses from OCP while fiscal 2007 had one month of sales and marketing expense from OCP. In addition, higher salary expenses and stock compensation expenses associated with an increase in headcount, and increased travel costs further contributed to the increase in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008. We expect our sales and marketing expenses, including stock compensation expense, to remain substantially unchanged in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
The increase in sales and marketing expense for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to higher sales commission and personnel expense resulting from higher revenues and sales activity, as well as expenses resulting from the acquisition of F3 in Taiwan in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the acquisition of Fibercom in Taiwan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and the acquisition of OCP in June 2007.

General and administrative expenses increased by $9.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. We acquired approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007 with the remaining 42% being acquired in October 2007. Therefore, the acquisition of OCP contributed a full year

Table of Contents

of general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2008 versus one month of general and administrative expense in fiscal 2007. The acquisition of OCP accounted for $8.0 million or 84% of total increase in general and administrative expenses. In addition, higher professional fees as a result of the OCP acquisition and higher legal fees associated with patent infringement litigation and the OCP acquisition further contributed to the increase. The increase in general and administrative expense for fiscal 2008 was partially offset by a one time expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to a payment made to an executive to offset an increase in that executive’s exercise price of existing stock options as a result of a change in the tax laws. We expect our general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, including stock compensation expense, to be slightly lower than the expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily driven by cost savings as a result of the continued integration of OCP into Oplink.
 
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 was due to higher stock compensation expense as a result of the granting of stock options, a one time expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 related to a payment made to an executive to offset an increase in that executive’s exercise price of an existing stock options as a result of a change in the tax laws and the acquisition of a 58% stake in OCP.

Stock compensation expense recorded in cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses 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 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8). The fair value of stock options granted and rights granted to purchase our common stock under the employee stock purchase plan is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period.
 
The increase in stock compensation expense of $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007 was due primarily to the OCP acquisition which increased stock compensation expenses by $2.5 million. The acquisition of OCP by Oplink resulted in the accelerated vesting of OCP stock options pursuant to change-in-control provisions. In addition, our acquisition of approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007 and the acquisition of the remaining 42% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in October 2007 contributed a full year’s worth of stock compensation expense in fiscal 2008 versus a month of stock compensation expense in fiscal 2007. New grants associated with increased headcount and follow-on grants to existing employees also contributed to the increase in stock compensation expense.
 
The increases in stock compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 were due to the granting of additional stock options in fiscal 2007, a lower estimated forfeiture rate of our stock options based on an update to our historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and the timing of the grants, and the acquisition of a 58% majority stake in OCP.
 
Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) under the modified prospective application method. 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. Our stock compensation is generally accounted for as an equity instrument. In one instance, however, a grant of 62,500 shares of restricted stock was surrendered by an OCP executive officer and was settled for a cash consideration of $103,125 on January 2, 2008. The cash settlement was recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007.

We expect our stock compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to remain largely unchanged from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
 
IMPAIRMENT CHARGE AND OTHER COSTS.  In fiscal 2008, we noted impairment indicators that the carrying value of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of F3 in fiscal 2006, a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink, may not be recoverable and performed an impairment review. As a result, an impairment charge of $517,000 was recorded based on the amounts by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair value in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008. We will continue to monitor for the potential existence of impairment indicators. There was no impairment charge during fiscal years 2007 or 2006.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”), restructuring expenses of $109,000 were incurred during the year ended June 30, 2008, as a result of restructuring initiatives implemented at F3, a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink.
 
TRANSITIONAL COSTS FOR CONTRACT MANUFACTURING.  For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, transitional costs for contract manufacturing of $2.3 million and $216,000 were incurred, respectively. The transitional charges are related primarily to estimated severance and retention payments, the relocation of certain fixed assets and product qualification costs associated with the transfer to China of the manufacturing of some of our products. We expect these costs to be significantly reduced during fiscal 2009 as all manufacturing transfer has been substantially completed during fiscal 2008.
 
MERGER FEES.  Merger fees for the year ended June 30, 2008 were $5.6 million and reflect costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of OCP, specifically, the cost of entering into employee retention programs, legal expenses, and investment banking fees.
 
Merger fees for the year ended June 30, 2007 were $1.5 million and relate primarily to investment banking fees, legal, public relations and additional board of directors’ expenses associated with Oplink’s acquisition of approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in June 2007.
 
IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  There was no IP R&D expense recorded in fiscal 2008 and 2007. We recorded $1,120,000 as IP R&D expense 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 revenues 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.
 
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS.  Amortization expenses of intangible and other assets of approximately $3.3 million, $519,000 and $217,000 were recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing charges incurred as a result of a two step acquisition process of OCP during fiscal 2007 and 2008 and the acquisitions of F3 during fiscal 2006. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, $1.8 million, $297,000 and $145,000 of amortization of intangible and other assets were included in the cost of revenues, respectively. The increase in amortization expense was primarily attributable to the acquisition of OCP which increased the portfolio of intangible assets.

Interest income decreased by $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was mainly due to lower yields on our investments and a lower average balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments as a result of stock repurchases of $40 million and cash consideration of approximately $81 million used by Oplink to acquire the remaining 42% of OCP’s outstanding common stock in October 2007, being partially offset by cash contributed by OCP. The average rate of return for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was 4.4%, 4.9% and 3.8%, respectively.
 
GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF ASSETS.  We recorded a gain of $2.3 million and a loss of $18,000 on disposal of fixed assets for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In January 2008, OCP completed its sale to DS Ventures, LLC, of its property located in Woodland Hills, California. The transaction resulted in a gain on sale of assets of $1.6 million. In addition, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we recognized a gain on sale of manufacturing equipment of approximately $800,000. We incurred a loss of $458,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to charges from the re-measurement of assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
 
MINORITY INTEREST.  On June 5, 2007, we consummated the acquisition from Furukawa of Furukawa’s 58% interest in OCP. We acquired all 66,000,000 shares of OCP common stock held by Furukawa, constituting approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares, in exchange for $84,150,000 in cash and 857,258 shares of Oplink common stock. The 42% of OCP’s common stock not purchased by Oplink was recorded on the balance sheet as minority interest of $68.7 million at June 30, 2007.
 
On October 31, 2007, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares of common stock of OCP that we did not already own, by means of a merger between OCP and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink.
 
A minority interest income of $5.9 million and $1.4 million is recorded in Oplink’s consolidated statement of operations for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and primarily reflects the 42% minority share of OCP’s net loss between June 6, 2007 and October 31, 2007.
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  We have recorded a tax provision of $1,045,000, $241,000 and $73,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to the year ended June 30, 2007 was mainly due to alternative minimum taxes in the U.S. and increase in income in foreign jurisdictions. At June 30, 2008, we had approximately $96.2 million of federal and $60.3 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. Based on the available objective evidence at June 30, 2008, management believes that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a valuation allowance of $59.4 million has been recorded at June 30, 2008. Included in the June 30, 2008 valuation allowance is approximately $2.7 million related to stock options, which will be credited to stockholders’ equity when realized for tax purposes.

On November 1, 2006, OCP reached an agreement with SAE Magnetics (H.K.) Limited (“SAE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation, which enabled OCP to begin manufacture of certain of its product lines in China in July 2007. As a result of the decision to transfer the manufacturing of certain of its product lines from its Woodland Hills, California and OCPA facilities to SAE, we incurred $2.3 million and $216,000 transitional costs for contract manufacturing for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These transitional charges, which are primarily related to estimated severance and retention payments, along with expenses incurred to relocate certain fixed assets and product qualification associated with the manufacturing of certain of our product lines in China are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146 and SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Post Employment Benefits. We expect these costs to be significantly reduced during fiscal 2009 as all the manufacturing transfer was substantially completed during fiscal 2008.
 
Accrued Restructuring Costs
 
On June 5, 2007, Oplink acquired 66,000,000 shares of OCP common stock, constituting approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares in common stock. On October 31, 2007, Oplink completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares in common stock of OCP that it did not already own. On November 29, 2007, the Board of Directors of Oplink approved several strategic restructuring initiatives in order to enhance profitability and reduce costs. The restructuring initiatives are primarily related to the operations of OCP and the post-acquisition integration of OCP into Oplink’s operations.
 
The restructuring initiatives include substantially reducing the scale of business operations at OCP’s facility in Woodland Hills, California, specifically the plan to transfer manufacturing to China, the transfer of a portion of OCP’s research and development activities to Oplink’s facility in Wuhan, China, and the restructuring of operations at OCPA. The restructuring was substantially complete by June 30, 2008.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2008, the manufacturing activity at OCPA was transferred to Oplink’s principal manufacturing facility in Zhuhai, China.
 
As part of the acquisition of OCP, we had recorded restructuring liabilities as of June 30, 2008 with a fair value of $370,000 in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and EITF 95-3. The restructuring liabilities reflect the cost of

Our revenues and operating results are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. The factors, many of which are more fully discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors, that are likely to cause these variations include, among others:
 
  •  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, which most likely would cause our gross profit margin to decline;

50


Table of Contents

 
  •  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, which most likely would cause our gross profit margin to decline;
 
  •  fluctuation in the mix of products sold towards products with lower margins such as ROADM’s;
 
  •  fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products;
 
  •  changes in customer, geographic or product mix and the average selling prices of our products;
 
  •  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;
 
  •  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;
 
  •  costs associated with, and the outcomes of, any intellectual property or other litigation to which we are, or may become, a party;
 
  •  intense price competition together with general excess global production capacity has resulted in significant price erosion year after year, particularly as it relates to OCP’s products; and
 
  •  the merger integration of OCP may challenge our operational infrastructure.
 
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, partially offset by $49.0 million in common stock repurchases, net of proceeds from exercise of stock options, employee stock purchase plan awards and warrants, through June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $142.1 million and working capital of $159.7 million.


51


Table of Contents

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.
 
In July 2008, we entered into a capital expenditure commitment in China of approximately $2.1 million which will be funded from available working capital. The majority of the total commitment is due before the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. On August 12, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a new repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase up to $20 million of our common stock. The new repurchase plan replaced a former $40 million repurchase program, under which we had bought back all $40 million of stock through June 30, 2008. The new repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares, and may be suspended from time to time or discontinued. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchase program. The share repurchase will be funded from available working capital. Consequently, the new repurchase plan and the capital expenditure commitment may result in a reduction in our cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.
 
Fiscal 2008
 
Our operating activities provided $7.7 million of cash in fiscal 2008 as a result of a net loss of $6.8 million for the period adjusted by $10.4 million in non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, $7.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and $7.3 million in provision for excess and obsolete inventory, being partially offset by other non-cash items of $1.7 million, minority interest in loss of consolidated subsidiaries of $5.9 million, and a decrease in cash of $3.5 million as a result of a net change in assets and liabilities.
 
The increase in net assets and liabilities was mainly due to an increase of $3.1 million in inventories and a decrease of $5.3 million in accrued liabilities, being partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $1.7 million, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.0 million, respectively, and an increase in accounts payable of $1.0 million.
 
Accounts receivable generated $1.7 million of cash primarily driven by the slight improvement in collection. Days sales outstanding (“DSOs”) at the end of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 71 days and 82 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 $3.1 million of cash during the fiscal 2008 mainly due to increased number of unit sales and associated purchases of inventories 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 decreased and therefore generated $2.0 million in cash, largely due to cash received from an income tax refund, interest income being paid out to us from our investment portfolio, and lower interest income receivable as a result of lower cash balance.
 
Accounts payable generated $1.0 million of cash as a result of higher inventory purchases driven by higher anticipated sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
 
Accrued liabilities consumed $5.3 million of cash in fiscal 2008 mainly due to payments associated with the acquisition of OCP.


52


Table of Contents

Our investing activities used $10.5 million of cash primarily due to $81.4 million in cash consideration given to purchase the remaining 42% of the outstanding shares of OCP common stock, purchase of marketable investment securities of $178.2 million, $8.0 million in property and equipment purchases, and an investment of $400,000 in a start-up company, being partially offset by sales or maturities of investment of $225.2 million and sales of property and equipment of $27.3 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of OCP, and the sale of OCP’s investment in Stratalight of $5.0 million. We anticipate capital expenditure in fiscal 2009 to be approximately $6.0 million.
 
Our financing activities used cash of $36.9 million in fiscal 2008 due to cash usage of $40.0 million for the repurchase of our common stock, partially offset by $3.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and purchases of our common stock through our employee stock purchase plan.
 
Fiscal 2007
 
Our operating activities provided $12.7 million of cash in fiscal 2007 which consisted of net income of $13.2 million, $5.4 million in non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, $4.7 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $630,000 in other non-cash expenses being partially offset by minority interest of $1.4 million and $9.9 million increase in net assets and liabilities.
 
The increase in net assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase of $12.2 million in accounts receivable, an increase in inventories of $1.2 million being partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $2.3 million.
 
Accounts receivable used $12.2 million of cash primarily due to higher shipments in every quarter in fiscal 2007 compared to the corresponding quarters in fiscal 2006, excluding the impact from the OCP acquisition. The OCP acquisition contributed $6.6 million in shipments between June 6, 2007 and June 30, 2007. DSOs at the end of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 82 days and 68 days, respectively. The increase in DSOs is attributable primarily to the OCP acquisition having a back-ended impact on accounts receivable balances. Excluding the impact from the OCP acquisition, DSOs would have been 71 days.
 
Inventories used $1.2 million of cash during fiscal 2007 primarily due to increased volumes of unit sales and associated purchases of inventory required to meet customer demand. Excluding the acquisition of the 58% stake in OCP, inventory turns in fiscal 2007 for Oplink had improved compared to fiscal 2006. Inventory turns had deteriorated with the acquisition of the 58% stake in OCP in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
Accounts payable increased and therefore provided $2.3 million of cash in fiscal 2007 primarily due to a higher level of inventory purchases.
 
Our investing activities produced cash of $82.5 million in fiscal 2007. Net cash generated in investing activities in fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to sales or maturities of investments of $211.3 million partially offset by purchases of investments of $122.3 million for a net increase of $89.0 million in preparation of the acquisition of a 58% stake in OCP. The acquisition of a 58% stake in OCP resulted in $84.2 million in cash consideration and $649,000 of transaction costs being paid out being partially offset by the $81.4 million in cash and cash equivalents that was on OCP’s balance sheet at June 5, 2007 for a net cash outlay of $3.4 million. We also paid $500,000 in connection with the acquisition of the assets of Fibercom Optics Communication Corp in fiscal 2007. The acquisition of property and equipment used $2.6 million of cash in fiscal 2007.
 
Our financing activities provided cash of $8.6 million in fiscal 2007 primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan.
 
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.

Table of Contents

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. DSOs at the end of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 68 days and 73 days, respectively.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not entered into any options on non-financial assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU

Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB has stated that it does not expect that SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in current practice. The application of SFAS No. 162 will have no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not yet evaluated the impact of FSP 142-3 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), to partially defer FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of FSP 157-2.
 
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110, “Use of a Simplified Method in Developing Expected Term of Share Options” (“SAB No. 110”). SAB No. 110 expresses the current views of the staff that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method discussed in SAB No. 107 for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates. The staff noted that it understands that detailed information about employee exercise patterns may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. We do not believe that the adoption of SAB No. 110 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date to be measured at their fair values. This replaces SFAS No. 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS No. 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. In addition, SFAS No. 141R requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date and to be measured at its fair value. Under SFAS No. 141, in contrast, contingent consideration obligations usually were not recognized at the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively to business combinations completed on or after the date of adaption. We have not yet evaluated the impact of SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that minority interest be separately reported in the consolidated entity’s equity section and that no gain or loss shall be reported when transactions occur between the controlling interest and the non-controlling interests. Furthermore, the acquisition of non-controlling interest by the controlling interest is not treated as a business combination. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not yet evaluated the impact of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value in situations in which they are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS No. 157”) which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In various areas, including revenue recognition, stock option and purchase accounting, accounting standards and practices continue to evolve. Additionally, the SEC and the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force continue to address revenues, stock option and purchase accounting 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 the future accounting of our 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, 2008, all of our short-term investments were in high quality corporate bonds and government and government agency debt securities, and our long-term investments primarily consisted of government agency debt securities with effective maturities of up to two years. We invest our excess cash in short-term and long-term investments to take advantage of higher yields generated by these investments. As of June 30, 2008, we had $67,000 gross unrealized losses on our investments classified as held-to-maturity primarily due to changes in market interest rates and current credit market condition. 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

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.
 
As of June 30, 2008, Renminbi appreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar compared to June 30, 2007. It is uncertain what further adjustments will follow. The Renminbi-U.S. dollar exchange rate could continue to float, and the Renminbi could continue to appreciate relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
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.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
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, Shirley Yin, 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 Oplink 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 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 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, 2008. 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, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
 
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, 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.
 
Item 9B.   Other Information

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Oplink Communications, Inc.
 
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2008, 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 included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express 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, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, 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, Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, 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, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008 and the related financial statement schedule and our report dated September 12, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and the related financial statement schedule.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oplink Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(a)(2). 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, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 2 and Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 1, 2007 the Company changed its method of accounting for uncertain tax position as a result of adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, 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 12, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTE 1 — THE COMPANY:
 
The Company
 
Oplink Communications, Inc. (“Oplink” or the “Company”) was incorporated in California in September 1995 and was later reincorporated in Delaware in September 2000. The Company is headquartered in Fremont, California and has manufacturing, design and research and development facilities in Zhuhai and Wuhan, China, in Taiwan and in Calabasas, California.
 
Oplink began selling its products in 1996. 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, and more recently, line transmission applications. Oplink’s addressable markets include long-haul networks, metropolitan area networks (“MANs”), local area networks (“LANs”) and fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) networks. The Company’s customers include telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers located around the globe.
 
Oplink offers its customers design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (“OMS”) for the production and packaging of highly-integrated optical subsystems and turnkey solutions, based upon a customer’s specific product design and specifications. Oplink also offers solutions with lower levels of component integration for customers that place more value on flexibility than would be provided with turnkey solutions.
 
The acquisition of Optical Communication Products, Inc. (“OCP”) has enabled Oplink to offer a portfolio of transmission products that broaden the addressable markets as the well as the range of solutions that Oplink can now offer its customers. Oplink’s transmission products consist of a comprehensive line of high-performance fiber optic modules, including fiber optic transmitters, receivers, transceivers, and transponders, primarily for use in MAN, LAN, and FTTH applications. Fiber optic modules are pre-assembled components that are used to build network equipment. Oplink’s transmission products convert electronic signals into optical signals and back into electronic signals, thereby facilitating the transmission of information over fiber optic communication networks.
 
Risks and uncertainties
 
There are a number of risks and certainties facing the Company that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential for a downturn in the telecommunications industry or the overall economy in the United States and other parts of the world, possible reductions in customer orders, the Company’s reliance upon third parties to supply components and materials for its products, intense competition in the Company’s target markets and potential pricing pressure that may arise from changing supply or demand conditions in the industry, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
Fiscal year
 
The Company operates and reports using a fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday closest to June 30. Interim fiscal quarters end on the Sundays closest to each calendar quarter end. For presentation purposes, the Company presents each fiscal year as if it ended on June 30. June 29, 2008, July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 represent the Sunday closest to the period ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 are 52-week fiscal years.
 
Reclassifications

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
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. The ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as minority interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. With the exception of OCP Asia and OCP UK, 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.
 
The Company conducts its business within one business segment and has no organizational structure dictated by product, service lines, geography or customer type.
 
On November 7, 2005, the Company announced a one-for-seven reverse split of its 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, unrestricted deposits, 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 $72,000 and $171,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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. Should a decline in the fair value of an individual security or securities be judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security would be written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down would be accounted for as a realized 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company derives its revenues from the sale of fiber optic subsystems and components. Revenues 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 collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues 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 collectability 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 revenues is recognized based on the Company’s historical experience.
 
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in cost of revenues.
 
The Company records sales taxes accrued and collected on sales of its products in accrued liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets.
 
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 revenues 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. Available-for-sale investments are reported at their fair market value based on quoted market prices. Held-to-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s 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 revenues 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,  
    2008     2007     2006  
 
Customer A
    25 %     33 %     *  
Customer B
    14 %     12 %     21 %
Customer C
    *       *       12 %
 
 
* Less than 10%.
 
At June 30, 2008, two customers accounted for 26% and 15% of total accounts receivable, respectively. At June 30, 2007, three customers accounted for 25%, 17% and 12% of total accounts receivable, respectively.
 
The Company obtains most of its critical materials from a single or limited number of suppliers and generally does not have long-term supply contracts with them. The Company could experience discontinuation of key components, price increases and late deliveries from its suppliers.
 
Substantially all of Oplink’s manufacturing operations are located in China and are subject to laws and regulations of China.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory is subject to rapid technological changes as a result of substitute products or specification changes or because the Company holds an excessive amount of inventory relative to customer forecasts which 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 and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. 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 revenues 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. Assets held for sale, which include land and buildings, is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value (see note 7). 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. Land and construction in process are not depreciated. Improvements and betterments are capitalized if they extend the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gain (loss) related to retirement or disposition of fixed assets is recognized in the period which the gain (loss) occurs.
 
Long-lived assets
 
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying value of its property, plant and equipment and its identifiable intangible assets with definite lives, 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 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 as a charge to earnings.
 
During fiscal 2008, the Company noted that the carrying value of purchased intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of F3 Inc. in fiscal 2006, a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink, may not be recoverable and performed an impairment review. As a result, an impairment charge of $517,000 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008 based on the amounts by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair value. There was no impairment charge during fiscal years 2007 and 2006.
 
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, backlog and customer relationships. Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from one year to six and a half 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.
 
Accrued transitional costs for contract manufacturing
 
On November 1, 2006, OCP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink as of October 31, 2007, reached an agreement with SAE Magnetics (H.K.) Limited (“SAE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation, which enabled OCP to manufacture certain of its product lines in China beginning July 2007. In connection with the outsourcing, a restructuring liability of $1.2 million was accrued on Oplink’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007 primarily for estimated severance and retention payments, along with expenses incurred to relocate certain fixed assets associated with the manufacturing of certain of OCP’s product lines pursuant to SFAS No. 146,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
“Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” and SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Post Employment Benefits.” The Company recorded an expense for accrued transitional costs for contract manufacturing of $2.3 million and $216,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The restructuring has been substantially completed as of June 30, 2008 (see Note 4).
 
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. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
 
There was an income tax receivable of $33,000 and income tax payable of $1.8 million at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2007, there was an income tax receivable and payable of $726,000 and $311,000, respectively.
 
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” on July 1, 2007. FIN 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Upon adoption of FIN No. 48 on July 1, 2007, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $766,000, increasing its income tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and increasing the July 1, 2007 accumulated deficit balance. The impact on adoption of FIN 48 is more fully described in Note 12, “Income Taxes.”
 
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.
 
Advertising costs
 
Advertising costs, included in sales and marketing expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were immaterial.
 
Stock compensation
 
Summary
 
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “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 the grant date, based on the fair

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period. The Company’s stock compensation is generally accounted for as an equity instrument. In one instance, however, a grant of 62,500 shares of restricted stock was surrendered by an OCP executive officer and was settled for a cash consideration of $103,125 on January 2, 2008. The cash settlement was recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007.
 
The effect of recording stock compensation for the three years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock Compensation Expense
 
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. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company granted 1,465,632, 594,912 and 1,075,567 stock options, respectively, with an estimated total grant-date fair value of $7.4 million, $4.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively. The Company estimated that the stock compensation expense for the awards granted in the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 not expected to vest was $1.2 million, $620,000 and $2.5 million, respectively.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the unrecorded deferred stock compensation balance related to stock options to purchase Oplink common stock was $10.9 million which will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 2.9 years. Approximately $8,000 of stock compensation was capitalized as inventory at June 30, 2008 and 2007. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company also issued 19,784 stock awards with a total grant-date fair value of $266,000.
 
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) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using


F-13


Table of Contents

 
OPLINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
the Black-Scholes valuation model and the straight-line attribution approach with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
                         
    Years Ended June 30  
    2008     2007     2006  
 
Risk-free interest rate
    3.35 %     4.73 %     4.73 %
Expected term
    4.5 years       4.6 years       4.7 years  
Expected dividends
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Volatility
    46 %     48 %     47 %
 
The estimated fair value of purchase rights under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
                         
    Years Ended June 30  
    2008     2007     2006  
 
Risk-free interest rate
    2.87 %     4.83 %     4.44 %
Expected term
    1.3 years       1.3 years       1.3 years  
Expected dividends
    0 %     0 %     0 %
Volatility
    48 %     47 %     45 %
 
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 historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. 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 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 grant date fair value for options to purchase Oplink common stock granted under the stock option plans was $5.05, $7.96 and $8.12 per share for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of the purchase rights under Oplink’s employee stock purchase plan was $2.66, $6.36 and $4.70 per share for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Equity Incentive Program
 
Oplink adopted the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) in July 2000. The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of 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. As of June 30, 2008, 7,142,857 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan which represents the maximum number of shares that can be issued under the 2000 plan.

As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, options to purchase 2,000,366 and 2,095,338 shares at weighted average exercise prices of $15.82 and $14.89 per share, respectively, were vested and exercisable.
 
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $10.26 as of June 27, 2008, 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, 2008 was 1,015,380. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $517,000, $6.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The total cash received by the Company from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $2.0 million, $7.5 million and $2.0 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 years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $654,000, $368,000 and $445,000, respectively. 115,494, 115,697 and 90,931 shares were purchased under the employee stock purchase plan during the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
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.
 
Stock compensation related to OCP stock recorded in fiscal 2007
 
From June 6, 2007, which is the date that OCP became a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink, to June 30, 2007, OCP recorded stock compensation expense of $160,000 related to employee stock option awards granted from June 6, 2007 to June 30, 2007 and the amortization of previously granted OCP stock options. There were 15,288,969 stock options to purchase OCP common stock available for grant as of June 30, 2007 pursuant to OCP’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
OCP had an employee stock purchase plan of which a total of 322,818 shares were available for future issuance under the plan at June 30, 2007. No shares were issued between June 6, 2007 and June 30, 2007 pursuant to this plan. The June 6th date reflects the date that OCP became a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink. Stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $8,000 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to the amortization of stock purchase rights granted prior to June 5, 2007. $8,000 in compensation cost is related to the employee stock purchase plan as a result of the acquisition of the 58% majority stake in OCP on June 5, 2007.
 
Restricted Stock Awards
 
There were no restricted stock awards issued by OCP from the date it became a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink through June 30, 2007. An expense of $83,000 was recorded for restricted stock awards that had previously been awarded by OCP but were amortized in the period from June 6 to June 30, 2007.
 
In June 2007, a grant of 62,500 shares of restricted stock awards was surrendered by an OCP executive officer and was settled for a cash consideration of $103,125 on January 2, 2008.
 
On October 31, 2007, Oplink completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares of common stock of OCP that it did not already own, by means of a merger between OCP and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink. The merger was approved on October 31, 2007 by OCP shareholders holding more than two thirds of OCP common stock not held by Oplink. As a result of the merger, OCP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink. In connection with the merger, Oplink assumed 5,420,687 outstanding stock options issued pursuant to OCP’s stock option plans and converted them into 594,679 options to purchase shares of Oplink common stock pursuant to conversion terms stated in the merger agreement. As a result of the assumption of OCP stock options, $910,000 in additional paid-in-capital was included in the purchase price of OCP. OCP’s stock option plans were retired with the consummation of the merger. During the one month period from October 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007, the intrinsic value of OCP options exercised, the cash received from the exercise of OCP options and the grant-date fair value of OCP options issued pursuant to OCP stock option plans, was not material. However, the acquisition of OCP by Oplink triggered the accelerated vesting of OCP stock options pursuant to change-in-control provisions resulting in a stock compensation expense of $2.1 million being recorded in the statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008.
 
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 changes in 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. The balance of accumulated other comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):

Accumulated other comprehensive income:

    $ 8,256     $ 3,112  
                 
 
Net (loss) income 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 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 May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB has stated that it does not expect that SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in current practice. The application of SFAS No. 162 will have no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The FSP is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of FSP No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), to partially defer FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of FSP 157-2.
 
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110, “Use of a Simplified Method in Developing Expected Term of Share Options” (“SAB No. 110”). SAB No. 110 expresses the current views of the staff that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method discussed in SAB No. 107 for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates. The staff noted that it understands that detailed information about employee exercise patterns may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SAB No. 110 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date to be measured at their fair values. This replaces SFAS No. 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS No. 141R also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. In addition, SFAS No. 141R requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date and to be measured at its fair value. Under SFAS No. 141, in contrast, contingent consideration obligations usually were not recognized at the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively to business

combinations completed on or after the date of adoption. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that minority interest be separately reported in the consolidated entity’s equity section and that no gain or loss shall be reported when transactions occur between the controlling interest and the non-controlling interests. Furthermore, the acquisition of non-controlling interest by the controlling interest is not treated as a business combination. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value in situations in which they are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS No. 157”) which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In various areas, including revenue recognition, stock option and purchase accounting, accounting standards and practices continue to evolve. Additionally, the SEC and the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force continue to address revenues, stock option and purchase accounting related accounting issues. The Company believes that it is 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 the future accounting of 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.

On November 1, 2006, OCP reached an agreement with SAE Magnetics (H.K.) Limited (“SAE”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation, which enabled OCP to begin manufacture of certain of its product lines in China in July 2007. As a result of the decision to transfer the manufacturing of certain of its product lines from its Woodland Hills, California and OCPA facilities to SAE, the Company incurred $2.3 million and $216,000 transitional costs for contract manufacturing for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These transitional charges, which are primarily related to estimated severance and retention payments, along with expenses incurred to relocate certain fixed assets and product qualification associated with the manufacturing of certain of its product lines in China are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” and SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Post Employment Benefits. The Company expects these costs to be significantly reduced during fiscal 2009 as all the manufacturing transfer was substantially completed during fiscal 2008.

NOTE 5 — ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING COSTS
 
On June 5, 2007, Oplink acquired 66,000,000 shares of OCP common stock, constituting approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares in common stock. On October 31, 2007, Oplink completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares in common stock of OCP that it did not already own. On November 29, 2007, the Board of Directors of Oplink approved several strategic restructuring initiatives in order to enhance profitability and reduce costs. The restructuring initiatives are primarily related to the operations of OCP and the post-acquisition integration of OCP into Oplink’s operations.
 
The restructuring initiatives include substantially reducing the scale of business operations at OCP’s facility in Woodland Hills, California, specifically the plan to transfer manufacturing to China, the transfer of a portion of OCP’s research and development activities to Oplink’s facility in Wuhan, China, and the restructuring of operations at OCPA. The restructuring was substantially complete by June 30, 2008.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2008, Oplink also completed the restructuring of the business operations at OCPA. The manufacturing activity at OCPA was transferred to Oplink’s principal manufacturing facility in Zhuhai, China.
 
As part of the acquisition of OCP, the Company had recorded restructuring liabilities as of June 30, 2008 with a fair value of $370,000 in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and EITF 95-3. The restructuring liabilities reflect the cost of workforce reductions and other acquisition related costs.

NOTE 6 — ACQUISITIONS
 
Acquisitions in fiscal 2008
 
In November 2007, the preliminary accounting for the acquisition of approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock was updated, which resulted in an increase to the purchase price to $102.9 million from $99.7 million to include assumed liabilities of $3.2 million. The assumed liabilities are for costs incurred to close down OCP facilities that are no longer needed, costs incurred to reduce the number of employees, costs incurred as a result of change-in-control provisions for OCP executives and costs incurred to cancel pre-existing

contracts. The liabilities incurred are included in the purchase price in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 95-3”). The allocation of the revised purchase price of $102.9 million was updated to reflect updated valuations for inventory and fixed assets and assumed liabilities as follows:

On October 31, 2007, Oplink completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares in common stock of OCP that it did not already own, by means of a merger between OCP and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink. The merger was approved on October 31, 2007 by OCP shareholders holding more than two thirds of OCP common stock not held by Oplink. The merger became effective immediately after the close of trading on October 31, 2007. As a result of the merger, OCP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oplink. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Oplink paid $1.65 per share in cash, or approximately $79.4 million in the aggregate, to former holders of the 42% of OCP common stock not held by Oplink. In connection with the merger, Oplink assumed 5,420,687 outstanding stock options issued pursuant to OCP’s stock option plans and converted them into 594,679 options to purchase shares of Oplink common stock pursuant to conversion terms stated in the merger agreement.
 
The acquisition of 48,107,148 shares of OCP common stock, which represents the remaining 42% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock that Oplink did not already own has been accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 141. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of October 31, 2007, which was the acquisition completion date.
 
The purchase price for the remaining 42% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock on October 31, 2007 that Oplink did not already own was comprised of (in thousands):

Acquisitions in fiscal 2007
 
On June 5, 2007, Oplink consummated its acquisition from The Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (“Furukawa”) of Furukawa’s majority interest in OCP. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement between Oplink and Furukawa (a copy of which was filed by Oplink with its Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2007), Oplink acquired all 66,000,000 shares of OCP common stock held by Furukawa, constituting approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares, in exchange for $84,150,000 in cash and 857,258 shares of Oplink common stock. Oplink paid the cash portion of the consideration out of its cash balances. The shares were valued based on the average of the closing price of the Company’s stock from April 19, 2007 to April 25, 2007. The average stock price during this period was $16.58, resulting in a total stock consideration of $14.2 million.
 
OCP designs, manufactures and sells a comprehensive line of high performance, highly reliable fiber optic modules for the metropolitan area networking, local area networking and passive optical networking (“PON”) markets. Modules are preassembled components that are used to build network equipment. OCP’s modules are integrated into systems that address the bandwidth limitations in metropolitan area networks, (“MANs”), local area networks, (“LANs”) and fiber-to-the-home (“FTTH”) networks. OCP’s products predominantly include optical transmitters, receivers and transceivers that convert electronic signals into optical signals and back to electronic signals, enabling high-speed communication of voice, video and data traffic over public and private fiber optic networks.
 
The shares of Oplink common stock issued to Furukawa are subject to a three year lock-up restriction on Furukawa’s ability to resell the shares. One third of the shares, or approximately 285,757 shares, will be released from the lock-up each year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The acquisition of approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock has been accounted for as a business combination pursuant to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, using the purchase method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of June 5, 2007 which was the acquisition completion date.
 
The total purchase price was comprised of (in thousands):
 
         
Cash
  $ 84,150  
Fair value of common stock issued
    14,217  
Transaction costs
    1,345  
         
Total purchase price
  $ 99,712  
         
 
The purchase price was allocated to OCP’s net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of June 5, 2007. The excess of fair values of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets over the purchase price resulted in negative goodwill, which was then allocated to intangible assets and fixed assets based on relative fair values assigned as of June 5, 2007. This resulted in a $16.6 million reduction in fair value being allocated to intangible assets and a $7.6 million reduction in fair value being allocated to fixed assets for a total negative goodwill allocation of $24.2 million.
 
The allocation of purchase price was based on management’s estimates of the value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
The acquisition of approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares of common stock was 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. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.
 
Based upon management’s estimate and a valuation performed by an independent third party, the preliminary purchase price, after the allocation of negative goodwill, was allocated to the various asset classes as follows (in thousands):
 
         
Technologies
  $ 2,615  
Customer relationships
    1,801  
Tradenames

Net fixed assets
    2,232  
Other net assets
    2,951  
         
Total purchase price
  $ 99,712  
         
 
Intangible assets are comprised of technology, patents, trademarks, customer relationships and backlog. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of between 1 year and 6 years.
 
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 hoped 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 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 2007 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.

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 revenues 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 operations 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 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.

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.
 
NOTE 7 — NET ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND OTHER ASSETS

On January 18, 2008, OCP completed its sale to DS Ventures, LLC (the “Buyer”) of OCP’s property located in Woodland Hills, California, including the 148,671-square-foot industrial/office building located on the site, the underlying land and improvements. Subsequently, OCP leased back approximately 148,000 square feet from the Buyer for a period of six months with monthly payment of approximately $100,000. The lease was then extended on a month to month basis for portion of the facility with monthly payment of approximately $25,000.
 
The total sale price for the property was $28.0 million. Net cash proceeds to OCP after transaction costs were $26.1 million and an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $1.25 million payable in July 2010 was issued to OCP by the Buyer. The note has been recorded as part of other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. A personal guarantee of $725,000 was issued by the Buyer in conjunction with the promissory note.
 
The transaction resulted in a gain on sale of $1.6 million being recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 2008 with $525,000 of the gain being deferred to a future date. The deferred amount reflects the amount of the unsecured promissory note that is not backed by a personal guarantee from the Buyer and has been recorded under accrued liabilities.

The Company reviews certain identifiable intangibles, excluding goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable on an annual basis. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If certain identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized would equal the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value based on future discounted cash flows.
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired.
 
SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
 
The Company had goodwill of $10.8 million and $574,000 on its consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Goodwill of $10.2 million was recorded as a result of the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares of common stock of OCP in October 2007.
 
In fiscal 2008, the Company noted impairment indicators that the carrying value of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of F3 in fiscal 2006, a majority-owned subsidiary of Oplink, may not be recoverable and performed an impairment review. As a result, an impairment charge of $517,000 was recorded based on the amounts by which the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair value in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company will continue to monitor for the potential existence of impairment indicators. There was no impairment charge during fiscal years 2007 or 2006.
 
NOTE 9 — OTHER INVESTMENTS
 
The Company had other investments of $400,000 included in other assets on its consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008, representing an investment in a start-up company.
 
The Company had other investment of $5.0 million included in other assets on its consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, reflecting OCP’s investment in StrataLight Communications, Inc. (“StrataLight”), which was recorded on Oplink’s consolidated balance sheet as a result of Oplink’s acquisition of 58% stake in OCP. On July 13, 2007, OCP and StrataLight entered into an option agreement whereby StrataLight may elect to repurchase all of OCP’s equity interest in StrataLight for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 plus cumulative dividends through the date of the repurchase. The option agreement requires that, if StrataLight exercises its option, the repurchase must be completed by August 31, 2007. On August 29, 2007, StrataLight exercised its option and repurchased all of OCP’s equity interest for $5.0 million.

Based on the available objective evidence at June 30, 2008, management believes that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a valuation allowance has been recorded. However, the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was less than 100% as management believes that a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The realizable deferred tax assets are as a result of the acquisition of OCP.
 
Included in the June 30, 2008 valuation allowance is approximately $2.7 million related to stock options, which will be credited to stockholders’ equity when realized for tax purposes. The change in valuation allowance for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was a decrease of $3.2 million, an increase of $13.0 million and a decrease of $5.9 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
At June 30, 2008, the Company has approximately $96.2 million of federal and $60.3 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 federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2027 and the California net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2017.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Company also had research and development tax credit carryforwards for federal and California income tax return purposes of approximately $3.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. The minimum tax credit carryforwards for federal and California is $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company also has California Manufacturing Credit carryforwards of $1.4 million. The federal research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire through 2028. 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 continue for two additional years, which thereafter the subsidiary is taxed at a reduced rate for the next three years. Zhuhai Oplink’s tax holiday expired on December 31, 2001. Shanghai Oplink and Zhuhai FTZ Oplink are under tax holiday now.
 
Effective July 1, 2007, Oplink adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a company’s income tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Step one, Recognition, requires a company to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Step two, Measurement, is based on the largest amount of benefit, which is more likely than not to be realized on ultimate settlement. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 on July 1, 2007 is recognized as a change in accounting principle, recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date.
 
As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, Oplink recognized a liability of approximately $766,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior periods. The entire amount has been classified as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008.
 
Upon adoption of FIN 48, Oplink’s policy to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within Oplink’s provision for (benefit from) income taxes did not change. The amount of interest and penalties included in the unrecognized tax benefit is approximately $17,000 at July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008.
 
Oplink’s total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008 was $4,239,000. Oplink’s total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect its effective tax rate are $766,000 as of July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008.
 
The tax years 2004 to 2007 remain open in several jurisdictions.
 
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
The Company has made no provision for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because it is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest such earnings in its foreign subsidiaries. If such earnings were distributed, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income tax expense. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
 
NOTE 13 — STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY
 
Authorized shares
 
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. On November 8, 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation reducing the number of shares of capital stock the Company is authorized to issue from 420,000,000 shares to 39,000,000 shares. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation was amended on January 11, 2007 to reflect the reduction in authorized shares.
 
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 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, 2008 and 2007. 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. On August 27, 2007, Oplink’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase $40 million of its common stock over the next two years. $40.0 million of common stock was repurchased under this repurchase plan during the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company did not make any repurchases during fiscal 2007. In 2006, the Company repurchased 1,248 shares of it common stock for $11,000. As of June 30, 2008, repurchases of $75.2 million have been made under the two repurchase programs.
 
On August 14, 2008, Oplink announced that its Board of Directors has approved a new repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $20 million of its common stock. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares, and may be suspended from time to time or discontinued.
 
Acquisition of Optical Communication Products
 
On June 5, 2007, Oplink consummated its acquisition from Furukawa of Furukawa’s majority interest in OCP. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement between Oplink and Furukawa, Oplink acquired all 66,000,000 shares of OCP common stock held by Furukawa, constituting approximately 58% of OCP’s outstanding shares, in exchange for $84,150,000 in cash and 857,258 shares of Oplink common stock. The shares of Oplink common stock issued to Furukawa are subject to a three year lock-up restriction on Furukawa’s ability to resell the shares. One third of the shares, or approximately 285,757 shares, will be released from the lock-up on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing of the transaction.
 
On October 31, 2007, Oplink completed the acquisition of the remaining 42% of outstanding shares in common stock of OCP that it did not already own. In connection with the merger, Oplink assumed 5,420,687 outstanding stock options issued pursuant to OCP’s stock option plans and converted them into 594,679 options to purchase shares of Oplink common stock pursuant to conversion terms stated in the merger agreement.
 
NOTE 14 — 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. The investor rights agreement does not contain any provision requiring the Company to pay liquidated damages or other consideration to the investors if the Company fails to perform its registration obligations, nor does the agreement contain any other provision that could require the Company to net-cash settle the registration rights. Therefore, consistent with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the registration rights were not accounted for separately from the underlying common stock, which is included in stockholders’ equity.
 
Loans 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
installments on August 16, 2002 and August 16, 2005. 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. As of June 30, 2008, the note has not been repaid in full and a balance of $105,000 remained. Oplink believes that the balance of the note will be paid. The note is recorded as a component of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal balance was $130,000.
 
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 was due and payable in four equal installments every six months from the date of new employment by the former executive officer. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the outstanding principal balance of the note receivable from this former executive officer was approximately $20,000, and is recorded as a component of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Oplink believes that the balance of the note will be paid.
 
NOTE 15 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Indemnification Agreements
 
The Company has entered into certain indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties, generally their business partners or customers, for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with any patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. Based on negotiation and special circumstances of each case, the terms of the agreements may vary. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.
 
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature; to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified; and to obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable terms, which the Company currently has in place.
 
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, 2008 were $17.5 million, of which all are due within the following twelve months. This amount does not include contractual obligations recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities.

Capital Expenditure
 
In July 2008, the Company entered into a capital expenditure commitment of approximately $2.1 million which will be funded from available working capital. The majority of the total commitment is due before the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.
 
Litigation
 
IPO Securities 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 2004, Oplink and almost all of the other Issuers executed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. In February 2005, the court certified the litigation as a class action for settlement purposes and granted preliminary approval of the settlement, subject to certain modifications. In August 2005, the court reaffirmed class certification and preliminary approval of the modified settlement. On February 24, 2006, the Court dismissed litigation filed

against certain underwriters in connection with the claims to be assigned to the plaintiffs under the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a Final Fairness Hearing to determine whether to grant final approval of the settlement. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the lower Court’s earlier decision certifying as class actions the six IPO Lawsuits designated as “focus cases.” Thereafter, the district court ordered a stay of proceedings in all of the IPO Cases pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ rehearing petition, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the district court. Accordingly, the settlement was terminated pursuant to stipulation.
 
Plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases on or about August 14, 2007. The case against Oplink is not a focus case. In September 2007, the Company’s named officers and directors again extended the tolling agreement with plaintiffs. On or about September 27, 2007, plaintiffs moved to certify the classes alleged in the focus cases and to appoint class representatives and class counsel in those cases. The focus case issuers filed motions to dismiss the claims against them in November 2007 and an opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in December 2007. Judge Scheindlin denied the motions to dismiss on March 16, 2008; the deadline for the focus case defendants to answer the amended complaints has not yet been set. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company can not accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.
 
IPO 16(b) Claim
 
On October 12, 2007, Vanessa Simmonds filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington a Complaint for Recovery of Short Swing Profits Under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase & Company as defendants, and against the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint does not seek recovery of damages or other relief against the Company. The Complaint alleges that in the years 2000 and 2001 the underwriters and unnamed officers, directors and principal shareholders of the Company acted as a “group” by coordinating their efforts to undervalue the IPO price of the Company and to thereafter inflate the aftermarket price throughout the six month lock-up period. The Complaint further alleges that the underwriters profited by (a) sharing in profits of customers to whom they had made IPO allocations; (b) allocating shares of the Company to insiders at other companies from whom the underwriters expected to receive additional work in return; and (c) by creating the opportunity (through the alleged laddering practices) for the Company’s directors, officers and other insiders to profit through their sale of stock after the lock-up period in return for future business for the underwriter. In October 2007, approximately 55 companies that issued stock were named as nominal defendants in suits filed by Ms. Simmonds. All of these cases have now been transferred to one judge at the U.S. District Court. On February 28, 2008, Ms. Simmonds filed an Amended Complaint asserting substantially similar claims as those set forth in the initial complaint. At the initial status hearing on April 28, 2008, the Judge set a briefing schedule for motions to dismiss to be filed by the underwriters. The Company has waived service and anticipates also filing a motion to dismiss. The Judge stayed discovery until the court rules on all motions to dismiss.
 
Oplink vs. O-Net Communications, et al.
 
On June 7, 2007, the Company initiated legal action against several parties by filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The Company’s amended complaint alleges claims for Patent Infringement, Trade Secret Misappropriation, Breach of the Duty of Loyalty, Unfair Competition, Breach of Contract and Intentional Interference With Contractual Relations against O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd., Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc., and Chunmeng Wu. The amended complaint requests an order enjoining O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd. and Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. from making, using or selling devices covered by the Company’s patents, an order enjoining Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. and Wu from misappropriating the Company’s trade secrets, monetary damages, attorney’s fees and costs. Pursuant to a stipulation between the litigants, the U.S. District Court transferred the Company’s First Amended Complaint to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. On September 17, 2007 O-Net Communications

(ShenZhen), Ltd. and Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. filed a counterclaim for Declaratory Judgment against the Company declaring that O-Net Communications (ShenZhen), Ltd. and Multiwave Digital Solutions, Inc. have not infringed on the Company’s patents, a judgment declaring that three patents held by the Company are invalid, and an award of attorney’s fees and costs. On August 26, 2008, Oplink, O-Net, Multiwave and Wu entered into a confidential Settlement Agreement resolving all claims at issue in the lawsuit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed to a license agreement and other provisions that are subject to a confidentiality provision and O-Net acknowledged the validity of the Oplink patents at issue in the lawsuit. The parties will jointly file with the court a stipulation dismissing all claims with prejudice following the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement.
 
Merlin Partners, LP vs. Optical Communication Products, Inc., et al.
 
On October 3, 2007, a complaint, Merlin Partners, LP vs. Optical Communication Products, Inc., Oplink Communications, Inc., et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by an entity identifying itself as a stockholder of OCP purporting to represent a class of all stockholders other than the defendants named in the complaint. The lawsuit named OCP, all of the members of OCP’s board of directors, a former OCP director, and Oplink as defendants. The complaint alleged, among other things, that OCP’s directors and Oplink breached their fiduciary duties to OCP stockholders by failing to disclose all material facts in the proxy statement relating to the merger and by failing to negotiate a higher price to be paid to OCP stockholders in the merger. On October 23, 2007, a Memorandum of Understanding was executed to settle the lawsuit. Pursuant to the settlement, OCP made supplemental disclosures to the proxy statement by means of the public filing of a Form 8-K; however, neither OCP nor any other defendant made any admission that such supplemental disclosures were material. The settlement was subject to customary conditions, including court approval following notice to members of the settlement class. On May 5, 2008, after notice to the settlement class, the court held a hearing regarding the proposed settlement. At this hearing, the court approved the settlement and awarded attorney’s fees to plaintiff’s counsel to be paid by the Company. The settlement resolves all claims that were or could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the action settled, including all claims relating to the merger, the merger agreement and any disclosure made in connection therewith.
 
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 16 — 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.

NOTE 18 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Repurchases under the program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares, and may be suspended from time to time or discontinued. The share repurchases will be funded from available working capital. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchase program.
