On April 14, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a
1-for-5 reverse split of its common stock, pursuant to previously obtained stockholder
authorization. This reverse stock split became effective at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on
April 29, 2010. All share and per share amounts presented herein are reflected on a
post-split basis. The par value per share amount remains unchanged at $0.01 per share
after the reverse stock split. As a result, the common stock amount was reduced due to the
decreased number of shares issued and outstanding and the additional paid-in capital amount
was increased by this same amount. |

OCLARO, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Oclaro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Oclaro or the Company), designs, manufactures and markets
optical components, modules and subsystems that generate, detect, amplify, combine and separate
light signals principally for use in high-performance fiber optics communications networks. Optical
transmission has become the predominant technology for large-scale communications networks due to
its advantages of higher capacity and transmission speed. For the three and nine months ended April
3, 2010, the Companys primary operating segment is its telecommunications (telecom) segment,
which addresses this optical communications market; and the Companys remaining product lines,
which address certain other optics and photonics markets, such as material processing, printing,
medical and consumer applications, and which leverage the resources, infrastructure and expertise
of its telecom segment, comprise its advanced photonics solutions segment.
On April 27, 2009, Oclaro, Inc., at the time named Bookham, Inc. (Bookham), and Avanex
Corporation (Avanex) completed a merger of Avanex with and into a subsidiary of Bookham with
Avanex being the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bookham.
In a separate transaction that also occurred on April 27, 2009, following the closing of the merger
of Avanex into Bookham, Bookham changed its name to Oclaro, Inc. This name change was effected
pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the merger of a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bookham (the Subsidiary) into Bookham. Bookham was the surviving
corporation in this merger with the Subsidiary and, in connection with that merger, amended its
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Oclaro, Inc. pursuant to a Certificate
of Ownership and Merger filed on April 27, 2009 with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware.
References herein to the Company mean Bookham and its subsidiaries consolidated business
activities prior to April 27, 2009 and Oclaro and its subsidiaries consolidated business
activities since April 27, 2009. Subsequent to the merger, Avanex changed its name to Oclaro (North
America), Inc. All references to Avanex in time periods after the merger refer to Oclaro (North
America), Inc.
Note 2. Basis of Preparation
Basis of Presentation
On April 14, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 1-for-5 reverse
split of its common stock, pursuant to previously obtained stockholder authorization. This reverse
stock split became effective at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 29, 2010, which reduced the
number of shares of the Companys common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 212
million to approximately 42 million and reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock
from 450 million to 90 million. All share and per share amounts presented herein are reflected on
a post-split basis.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2010 and for
the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009 have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of the Company and all of its
subsidiaries. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
such accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position and operations have been included.
The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for
the full fiscal year ending July 3, 2010.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 27, 2009 has been derived from the audited
financial statements as of such date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 27, 2009 (2009 Form 10-K).
6
The Company operates on a 52/53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. The fiscal
year ended June 27, 2009 was a 52 week year. The fiscal year ending July 3, 2010 will be a 53 week
year, with the quarter ended January 2, 2010 being a 14 week quarterly period.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. These judgments can be subjective and complex,
and consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.
Descriptions of these estimates and assumptions are included in the 2009 Form 10-K and we encourage
you to read our 2009 Form 10-K for more information about such estimates and assumptions.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance now codified as
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single
source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. Under the Codification, all existing accounting standards and
pronouncements are superseded and reorganized into a consistent structure arranged by topic,
subtopic, section and paragraph. Since the Codification does not change or alter existing U.S.
GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements;
however, it changes the way references to accounting standards and pronouncements are presented.
The provisions of ASC 105 were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
References made to FASB guidance throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to the
Codification.
Reclassifications
For presentation purposes, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications do not affect the
Companys consolidated net income (loss), cash flows, cash and cash equivalents or stockholders
equity, as previously reported.
On June 3, 2009 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain assets and
liabilities of its Oclaro Photonics, Inc. (formerly New Focus, Inc.) subsidiary, which are
referred to collectively herein as the New Focus business, to Newport Corporation (Newport).
This sale was completed on July 4, 2009. The assets and liabilities sold to Newport are classified
as assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale within current assets and current
liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for periods prior to the
consummation of the sale. These notes to the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements
relate to the Companys continuing operations only, unless otherwise indicated. See Note 4,
Business Combinations, for additional details.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or
changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended April 3, 2010 that are of
significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU
2010-06 requires companies to: disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers into and
out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for such transfers.
In addition, in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements, companies are to present
separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. The
revised authoritative guidance for Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements is effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and the revised authoritative
guidance for Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early application permitted. The
Companys adoption of the revised guidance for Levels 1 and 2 during the three months ended April
3, 2010 did not have any effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The Company intends to adopt the revised guidance for Level 3 in the first quarter of fiscal year
2011 and it does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements
that Include Software Elements amending ASC 985. ASU 2009-14 applies to vendors that sell or lease
tangible products that contain software that is more than incidental to the tangible product as a
whole. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and
provides direction for measuring and allocating revenue between the deliverables within the
arrangement. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or
materially
7
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of ASU 2009-14, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable
Revenue Arrangements amending ASC 605. ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling
price hierarchy. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation and requires
revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 is effective
prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years
beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU
2009-13, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
Note 3. Fair Value
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, for all financial assets and financial liabilities and for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis, at least annually. Effective with the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities. Under ASC 820, the Company is required to provide certain information according to a
fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the
information used to determine fair values. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value are as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities, quoted prices of identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume
or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or other inputs that are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement
of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Companys cash equivalents and short-term investment instruments are generally classified
within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market
prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price
transparency. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets
include most U.S. government and agency securities and money market securities. Such instruments
are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The types of instruments
valued based on other observable inputs include investment-grade corporate bonds, mortgage-backed
and asset-backed securities and foreign currency forward exchange contracts. Such instruments are
generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Companys non-financial assets, such as other intangible assets, net, are classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using a discounted cash flow model
based on the Companys estimates of future cash flows. The Company also classified a liability
within Level 3 for a value protection guarantee issued in connection with the acquisition of
Xtellus Inc. because it is primarily valued using management estimates of future operating results.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company reassessed the fair value of the value
protection liability determining that the fair value of this liability declined from $0.9 million
at January 2, 2010 to $0.6 million at April 3, 2010. This $0.3 million change in fair value was
recognized as income within Restructuring, merger and related costs during the three months ended
April 3, 2010. See Note 4, Business Combinations, for additional details.
The Companys derivative instruments are primarily classified as Level 2 as they are valued using
pricing models that use observable market inputs.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Companys operating results are subject to fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange
rates between the currencies in which it collects revenues and pays expenses. A majority of the
Companys revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of its expenses are
denominated in U.K. pounds sterling, the Chinese yuan, Swiss franc, Thai baht and the Euro, in
which it pays expenses in connection with operating its facilities in Caswell, U.K.; Shenzhen,
China; Zurich, Switzerland; Bangkok, Thailand and San Donato, Italy. The Company currently enters
into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of its exposure
to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling.
The Company recognizes all derivatives, such as foreign currency forward exchange contracts, on its
condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value regardless of the purpose for holding the
instrument. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair
value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities or firm commitments through operating results or recognized in Accumulated
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
At the end of each accounting period, the Company marks-to-market all foreign currency forward
exchange contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges and changes in fair value are
recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying cash flow is settled and
the contract is recognized in Other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations. As of April 3, 2010, the Company held twelve outstanding foreign currency forward
exchange contracts to sell U.S. dollars and buy U.K. pounds sterling. All of these contracts have
been designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts had an aggregate notional value of
approximately $12.0 million of put and call options which expire, or expired, at various dates
ranging from April 2010 through December 2010. To date, the Company has not entered into any such
contracts for longer than 12 months and, accordingly, all amounts included in Accumulated other
comprehensive income as of April 3, 2010 will generally be reclassified into Other income
(expense) within the next 12 months. As of April 3, 2010, each of the twelve designated cash flow
hedges was determined to be fully effective; therefore, the Company has recorded an unrealized loss
of $0.4 million to Accumulated other comprehensive income related to recording the fair value of
these foreign currency forward exchange contracts for accounting purposes. For the three and nine
months ended April 3, 2010, losses of nil and $0.7 million, respectively, were reclassified from
Accumulated other comprehensive income into Other income (expense).
9
Note 4. Business Combinations
On July 4, 2009 the Company entered into a set of agreements with Newport Corporation (Newport),
under which the Company transferred to Newport substantially all of the operating assets used or
held for use in the Companys New Focus business. In exchange, the Company received substantially
all of the operating assets of Newports Tucson, Arizona facility, intellectual property of
Newports high-power laser diodes business and $3.0 million in cash.
On December 17, 2009 the Company acquired Xtellus Inc. (Xtellus). Pursuant to the terms of the
acquisition agreement, Oclaro issued 4.7 million shares (23.4 million shares pre-split) of its common
stock, a portion of which is being held in escrow for 18 months to support indemnification
obligations of the former Xtellus stockholders to Oclaro, which may be payable in cash, or, at the Companys option, in newly issued shares of its Common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. Under the terms of the acquisition
agreement, the Company also provides for a value protection guarantee under which former Xtellus
stockholders could receive additional consideration subject to both the share price of Oclaro
failing to achieve a certain price level at the end of calendar year 2010 and on the Xtellus
business achieving certain revenue targets.
During the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $2.5
million, respectively, in legal and other direct merger-related costs in connection with business
combinations entered into in fiscal year 2010. These costs are recorded within Restructuring,
merger and related costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
As of June 27, 2009, the Company had capitalized $0.3 million in legal and other deal-related costs
associated with the acquisition of the high-power laser diodes business. Upon the adoption of ASC
805, Business Combinations, on June 28, 2009, the Company wrote-off these deferred assets to
retained earnings as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
Sale of the New Focus business
The Companys estimate of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the New Focus business
transferred to Newport is $9.9 million. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities on the
Companys consolidated balance sheet as of July 4, 2009, the date of the exchange, was $8.5
million. In the nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company recorded a $1.4 million gain in income
from discontinued operations from the sale of the New Focus business.
The financial results of the New Focus business have been classified as discontinued operations for
all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation are presented as
current assets and current liabilities, separately under the captions Assets held for sale and
Liabilities held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 27,
2009 and consisted of the following:

Any excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the aggregate
consideration given for such acquisition results in a gain on bargain purchase. In the first
quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded a gain on bargain purchase of $5.3 million in
connection with the acquisition of Newports high-power laser diodes business, which is included in
Other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the nine month period ended April 3, 2010. The gain on bargain purchase reflects the completion of
the Companys full valuation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Adjustments resulting from the completion of the full valuation are presented retrospectively in
the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as though they had been recorded as of
the acquisition date.
Acquisition of Xtellus
The Company has also accounted for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Xtellus using
the purchase method of accounting. Under the terms of this acquisition, Oclaro issued 3,693,181
shares (18,465,905 shares pre-split) of Oclaro common stock, valued at $24.7 million based on a
price of $6.70 per share ($1.34 per share pre-split) of Oclaro common stock as of the acquisition
closing date, December 17, 2009. Of the shares issued, 3,466,204 shares (17,331,021 shares
11
pre-split) were issued to former Xtellus stockholders and 226,977 shares (1,134,884 shares
pre-split) were issued to certain former debt holders of Xtellus in order to extinguish outstanding
Xtellus debt.
As part of the total consideration, the Company also issued 994,318 shares (4,971,591 shares
pre-split) of Oclaro common stock into a third-party escrow account for 18 months as security for
the indemnification obligations of the Xtellus stockholders under the acquisition agreement, which may be payable in cash, or, at the Companys option, in newly issued shares of its Common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. In
accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company recorded this
obligation as a long-term liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 3,
2010.
The Company also agreed to pay a valuation protection guarantee (value protection liability)
whereby former stockholders of Xtellus are entitled to receive up to $7.0 million in additional
consideration if Oclaros common stock trades below certain levels at the end of calendar year 2010
and if revenue from Xtellus products is more than $17.0 million in calendar year 2010. The
estimated fair value of this valuation protection liability was $0.9 million at January 2, 2010.
This estimate was determined using management estimates of future operating results and a Monte
Carlo simulation model to determine the likelihood of achieving certain market conditions. During
the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company reassessed the fair value of the value
protection liability, determining that the fair value of this liability declined from $0.9 million
at January 2, 2010 to $0.6 million at April 3, 2010. This $0.3 million change in fair value was
recognized as income within Restructuring, merger and related costs during the three months ended
April 3, 2010. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the value protection liability will result
in adjustments to the Companys results of operations in the period of adjustment, up to a
potential maximum of $6.4 million.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the earliest these post-closing payments would be
made is April 2011. The post-closing consideration, if any, is payable in cash or, at Oclaros
option, newly issued shares of Oclaro common stock (or a combination of cash and stock).
For accounting purposes, the total consideration given in connection with the acquisition of
Xtellus was $32.7 million, consisting of the following:

This acquisition also provides for an employee retention program under which certain former Xtellus
employees will receive up to an aggregate of $5.0 million in a combination of cash (up to a maximum
of $1.0 million) and restricted stock awards which will generally be subject to time-based vesting
over two years and partially subject to the achievement of certain revenue targets during calendar
year 2010. The costs of this retention program are considered compensatory and are being recorded
in the Companys results of operations. During the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, the
Company recorded approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million in Restructuring, merger and related
costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to cash payments due under
the retention program.
The total consideration given to former stockholders of Xtellus has been allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the
acquisition. The Companys preliminary purchase price, based on the estimated fair values of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition, is as follows:

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In connection with the Companys acquisition of the Newport high-power laser diodes business on
July 4, 2009, the Company recorded $1.8 million in other intangible assets. The acquired other
intangible assets from Newport consist of core and current technology assets of $1.1 million with a
weighted average life of 6 years, customer relationships of $0.6 million with a weighted average
life of 6 years, and contract backlog of $0.1 million with a weighted average life of 1.5 years.
14
In connection with the Companys acquisition of Xtellus on December 17, 2009, the Company recorded
$25.2 million in goodwill and $5.3 million in other intangible assets. The acquired other
intangible assets from Xtellus consist of core and current technology assets of $4.9 million with a
weighted average life of 10 years and customer relationships of $0.4 million with a weighted
average life of 6 years. These amounts are subject to change upon the finalization of the Companys
purchase accounting for the Xtellus acquisition.
During the nine months ended March 28, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7.9
million to goodwill in its condensed consolidated statements of operations as management concluded
that the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the New Focus and Avalon Photonics AG
(Avalon) reporting units exceeded the fair value of the respective reporting units.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, in conjunction with its goodwill impairment analysis,
the Company also evaluated the fair value of the intangible assets of these two reporting units, in
accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Based on this testing, the Company
determined that the intangibles of the Avalon reporting unit were impaired by $1.2 million and
recorded this impairment loss during the three months ended March 28, 2009.

million and $2.2 million, respectively, in restructuring accruals for employee separation charges
related to the overhead cost reduction plan initiated from the merger with Avanex. During the
three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company made payments of nil and $0.3 million,
respectively, related to lease commitments and $0.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, related
to employee separation charges.
In addition, during the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company reduced its accrual
by $0.3 million and increased its accrual by $0.1 million, respectively, for restructuring accruals
related to facilities assumed from Avanex as part of the merger (legacy facilities), and made
payments of $0.9 million and $2.6 million during the same respective time periods, to cover the
costs of exiting these legacy facilities.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company also accrued approximately $0.9 million
in inventory-related restructuring accruals resulting from its acquisition of Xtellus.
During the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company continued to make payments in
connection with earlier plans of restructuring and cost reduction efforts, including payments of
$0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for lease commitments.
Note 8. Credit Facility
On August 2, 2006, the Company entered into a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit
agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. and other lenders. On April 27, 2009, the Company, with
Oclaro Technology plc, Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and Oclaro Technology, Inc., each a wholly-owned
subsidiary, collectively the Borrowers, entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement
(Amended Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. and other lenders regarding the $25.0
million senior secured revolving credit facility, extending the term to August 1, 2012. Under the
Amended Credit Agreement, advances are available based on 80 percent of qualified accounts
receivable, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.
As of April 3, 2010, there was $2.5 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement with an
interest rate of 7.00 percent, which was based on the banks prime rate plus 3.50 percentage
points. There was no amount outstanding as of June 27, 2009. As of April 3, 2010, the Company was
in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
16
At April 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, there were $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in
outstanding standby letters of credit with a vendor secured under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The outstanding standby letter of credit for $1.0 million expires in April 2010.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees
The Company indemnifies its directors and certain employees as required by law, and has entered
into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain senior officers. The Company has not
recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements as the Company historically
has not incurred any costs associated with such indemnification arrangements and does not expect to
in the future. Costs associated with such indemnification arrangements may be mitigated, in whole
or only in part, by insurance coverage that the Company maintains.
The Company also has indemnification clauses in various contracts that it enters into in the normal
course of business, such as those issued by its banks in favor of several of its suppliers.
Additionally, the Company from time to time, in the normal course of business, indemnifies certain
customers with whom it enters into contractual relationships. The Company has not historically paid
out any amounts related to these indemnification obligations and does not expect to in the future,
therefore no accrual has been made for these indemnification obligations.
Warranty accrual
The Company accrues for the estimated costs to provide warranty services at the time revenue is
recognized. The Companys estimate of costs to service its warranty obligations is based on
historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent the Company experiences
increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, the
Companys warranty costs will increase, resulting in a decrease in gross profit.
The following table summarizes movements in the warranty accrual for the periods indicated:

Litigation
On June 26, 2001, the first of a number of securities class actions was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York against New Focus, Inc., now known as Oclaro
Photonics, Inc. (New Focus), certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters for
New Focus initial and secondary public offerings. A consolidated amended class action complaint,
captioned In re New Focus, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ.
5822, was filed on April 20, 2002. The complaint generally alleges that various underwriters
engaged in improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in New Focus
initial public offering and seeks unspecified damages for claims under the Exchange Act on behalf
of a purported class of purchasers of common stock from May 17, 2000 to December 6, 2000.
The lawsuit against New Focus is coordinated for pretrial proceedings with a number of other
pending litigations challenging underwriter practices in over 300 cases, as In re Initial Public
Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), including actions against Bookham Technology plc,
now known as Oclaro Technology plc (Bookham Technology) and Avanex Corporation, now known as Oclaro
(North America), Inc. (Avanex), and certain of each entitys respective officers and
17
directors, and
certain of the underwriters of their public offerings. In October 2002, the claims against the
directors and officers of New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex were dismissed, without
prejudice, subject to the directors and officers execution of tolling agreements.
In 2007, a settlement between certain parties in the litigation that had been pending with the
Court since 2004 was terminated by stipulation of the parties to the settlement, after a ruling by
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in six focus cases in the coordinated proceeding (the actions
involving Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex are not focus cases) made it unlikely that the
settlement would receive final court approval. Plaintiffs filed amended master allegations and
amended complaints in the six focus cases. In 2008, the Court largely denied the focus case
defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaints.
The parties have reached a global settlement of the litigation. On October 5, 2009, the Court
entered an order certifying a settlement class and granting final approval of the settlement. Under
the settlement, the insurers will pay the full amount of the settlement share allocated to New
Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, and New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex will bear no
financial liability. New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, as well as the officer and director
defendants who were previously dismissed from the action pursuant to tolling agreements, will
receive complete dismissals from the case. Certain objectors have appealed the Courts October 5,
2009 order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. If for any reason the settlement does not
become effective, we believe that Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex have meritorious
defenses to the claims and therefore believe that such claims will not have a material effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 13, 2009, Bijan Badihian filed a complaint against Avanex Corporation, its then-CEO
Giovanni Barbarossa, then interim CFO Mark Weinswig and an administrative assistant (who has since
been dismissed from the action), in the Superior Court for the State of California, Los Angeles
County. On June 8, 2009, after defendants filed a demurrer, plaintiff filed a First Amended
Complaint adding as defendants Oclaro, Inc. as successor to Avanex, and Paul Smith, who was
Chairman of the Avanex Board of Directors. On April 28, 2010 Badihian filed a Second Amended
Complaint, which names Avanex, Oclaro (as successor in interest), Greg Dougherty, Joel Smith III,
Paul Smith, Barbarossa, and Weinswig. Messrs. Barbarossa, Dougherty and Smith III are current
members of Oclaros Board of Directors. The Second Amended Complaint alleges that defendants
failed to disclose material facts regarding Avanexs operational performance and future prospects,
or engaged in conduct which negatively impacted those future prospects. The Second Amended
Complaint alleges causes of action for (1) breach of fiduciary duty; (2) intentional
misrepresentation; (3) negligent misrepresentation; (4) concealment; (5) constructive fraud; (6)
intentional infliction of emotional distress; and (7) negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The Second Amended Complaint seeks at least $5 million in compensatory damages plus prejudgment
interest, unspecified damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and costs. The parties are
currently engaged in discovery. The Superior Court has set a trial date of January 18, 2011.
On May 27, 2009, a patent infringement action captioned QinetiQ Limited v. Oclaro, Inc., Civil
Action No. 1:09-cv-00372, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware. The action alleges infringement of United States Patent Nos. 5,410,625 and 5,428,698 and
seeks a permanent injunction against all products found to infringe those patents, unspecified
damages, costs, attorneys fees and other expenses. On July 16, 2009, Oclaro filed an answer to
the complaint and stated counterclaims against QinetiQ Limited for judgments of invalidity and
unenforceability of the patents-in-suit and seeking costs, attorneys fees, and other expenses. On
August 7, 2009, QinetiQ Limited requested that the District Court dismiss Oclaros unenforceability
counterclaims and strike two of Oclaros affirmative defenses. On August 24, 2009, Oclaro filed
its brief opposing QinetiQs request. QinetiQ Limited has since indicated to the Court that it
plans to withdraw that request. On August 14, 2009, Oclaro filed a Motion to Transfer Venue,
requesting that the action be transferred to the Northern District of California. On December 18,
2009, the District Court for the District of Delaware granted Oclaros Motion to Transfer Venue and
transferred the action to the Northern District of California. Oclaro believes the claims asserted
against it by QinetiQ are without merit and will continue to defend itself vigorously.

On April 27, 2009, in connection with the merger of Avanex and Oclaro, the Company issued
approximately 531,000 replacement warrants (2,655,000 warrants pre-split) to existing Avanex
warrant holders as of April 27, 2009. These warrants were exercisable during the period beginning

institutional accredited investors. The warrants have a five year term and are exercisable
beginning on September 23, 2007 at an exercise price of $14.00 per share ($2.80 per share
pre-split), subject to adjustment based on a weighted average anti-dilution formula if the Company

then current exercise price per share of such warrants.
On August 31, 2006, the Company entered into a private placement agreement which included issuance
of warrants to purchase up to 434,800 shares (2,174,000 shares pre-split) of common stock. On

both cases, the warrants were issued and sold to certain institutional accredited investors. The
warrants are exercisable during the period beginning on March 2, 2007 through September 1, 2011, at
an exercise price of $20.00 per share ($4.00 per share pre-split).
On January 13, 2006, the Company issued warrants to investors to purchase 60,872 shares (304,359
shares pre-split) of common stock in connection with the conversion of a portion of the Companys
7.0 percent senior unsecured convertible debentures issued in December 2004. On March 23, 2006, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 19,092 shares (95,461 shares pre-split) of common stock to
convert the remaining portion of the Companys 7.0 percent senior unsecured convertible debentures.
The warrants are exercisable from July 13, 2006 to January 13, 2011 at an exercise price per share
of $35.00 ($7.00 per share pre-split).
On January 13, 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 137,200 shares (686,000 shares
pre-split) of common stock to certain accredited institutional investors in connection with their

Note 11. Employee Stock Plans
Under the Companys Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan there are approximately 1.1
million shares (5.3 million shares pre-split) of the Companys common stock available for grant as
of April 3, 2010. The Company generally grants stock options that vest over a four to five year
service period, and restricted stock awards and units that vest over a one to four year service
period, and in certain cases each may vest earlier based upon the achievement of specific
performance-based objectives as set by the Companys Board of Directors.
On November 2, 2009, the Company filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC,
related to an offer by the Company to certain of its employees to exchange some or all of their
outstanding options to purchase the Companys common stock for fewer replacement stock options with
exercise prices equal to $6.80 per share ($1.36 per share pre-split), which was the closing price per share of the
Companys common stock on December 2, 2009, the date of grant and the last day of the tender offer
(the Offer). A stock option was eligible for exchange in the Offer if: (i) it had an exercise
price of at least $10.00 per share ($2.00 per share pre-split); (ii) it was granted at least 12
months prior to the commencement of the Offer; (iii) it was held by an employee who was eligible to
participate in the Offer and (iv) it remained outstanding (i.e., unexpired and unexercised) as of
the date of grant of the replacement options (Eligible Options). The Company made the Offer to
all of the U.S. and international employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who held Eligible
Options (Eligible Employees), except for (i) members of the Companys Board of Directors and (ii)
the Companys named executive officers. As of December 2, 2009, when the Offer expired. Eligible Employees surrendered
approximately 0.8 million Eligible Options (3.9 million pre-split) with a weighted-average exercise
price of $37.55 per share ($7.51 per share pre-split) in exchange for approximately 0.4 million replacement stock options (1.8 million
pre-split) with an exercise price of $6.80 per share ($1.36 per share
pre-split).
The fair value of the replacement options granted was measured as the total of the unrecognized
compensation cost of the original options tendered and the incremental compensation cost of the new
options granted. The incremental compensation cost of the new options granted was measured as the
excess of the fair value of the new options granted over the fair value of the original options
immediately before cancellation. The total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to
the original options tendered will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the
original options. The incremental compensation cost of the new options granted was $20,000.
During the nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company reduced its shares available for grant by
0.7 million shares (3.7 million shares pre-split), of which 0.6 million shares (3.0 million shares
pre-split) available for grant were cancelled in connection with the Offer and 0.1 million shares
(0.7 million shares pre-split) available for grant were cancelled upon the expiration of the Avanex
Corporation 1998 Stock Plan in December 2009.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value,
based on the Companys closing stock price of $13.95 ($2.79 pre-split) as of April 1, 2010, which
would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of
that date. There were approximately 0.6 million shares (2.8 million shares pre-split) of common
stock subject to in-the-money options which were exercisable as of April 3, 2010. The Company
settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued shares of common stock.
Note 12. Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation,
which requires companies to recognize in their statement of operations all share-based payments,
including grants of stock options, based on the grant date fair value of such share-based awards.
The application of ASC 718 requires the Companys management to make judgments in the determination
of inputs into the Black-Scholes-Merton stock option pricing model which the Company uses to
determine the grant date fair value of stock options it grants. This model requires assumptions to
be made related to expected stock price volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rate
and dividend yield. While the risk-free interest rate is a less subjective assumption, typically
based on factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock price volatility and option
life assumptions require a greater level of judgment, which makes them critical accounting
estimates.
The Company has not issued, and does not anticipate issuing, dividends to stockholders and
accordingly uses a zero percent dividend yield assumption for all Black-Scholes-Merton stock option
pricing calculations. The Companys volatility is derived from an expected stock-price volatility
assumption based on historical realized volatility of the underlying common stock during a period
of time. The Company evaluates the exercise behavior of past grants as a basis to predict future
activity to arrive at its expected life assumption.
21
The assumptions used to value stock option grants for the three and nine months ended April 3,
2010 and March 28, 2009 are as follows:

As of April 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, the Company had capitalized approximately $0.4 million and
$0.2 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation as inventory.
Note 13. Income Taxes
The Companys total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 was
approximately $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended April 3, 2010,
the Company had $0.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect its
effective tax rate. There are no unrecognized tax positions that presently exist for which it is
reasonably possible there will be a significant increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
The Companys policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
within the Companys provision for (benefit from) income taxes. As of April 3, 2010, the Company
has accrued approximately $49,000 for payment of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits.
The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax returns and has determined its major tax
jurisdictions are the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and China. Certain
jurisdictions remain open to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies; U.S. federal,
Italy, France and China tax years 2004 to 2008, various U.S. states tax years 2004 to 2009, and the
United Kingdom tax years 2003 to 2009. The Company is currently under audit in Canada, France and
the United Kingdom. Management has accounted for approximately $0.1 million of potential
examination exposure within
its consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2010. Management does not anticipate any
significant adjustments to its financial position or results of operations as a result of any such
examinations.

Basic earnings per share is computed using only the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding for the applicable period, while diluted earnings per share is computed assuming
conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, unvested restricted stock
awards, warrants and obligations under escrow agreements during such period. For the three and
nine months ended March 28, 2009, there were no stock options, unvested restricted stock awards,
warrants or obligations under escrow agreements factored into the computation of diluted shares
outstanding since the Company incurred a net loss in these periods which would have resulted in
their inclusion having an anti-dilutive effect.
For the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, the Company excluded 0.5 million (2.4 million
pre-split) and 1.4 million (7.2 million pre-split), respectively, of outstanding stock options and
warrants from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.
Note 15. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
For the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, the Companys comprehensive
income (loss) primarily comprised of the Companys net income (loss), the change in the unrealized
gain (loss) on currency instruments designated as hedges, unrealized gain (loss) on short-term
investments and foreign currency translation adjustments.
The components of comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

Note 16. Operating Segments and Related Information
The Company is organized and operates as two operating segments: (i) telecom and (ii) advanced
photonics solutions. The telecom segment is responsible for the design, development, chip and
filter level manufacturing, marketing and selling of optical components products to
telecommunications systems vendors. The advanced photonics solutions segment is
23
responsible for the
design, manufacture, marketing and selling of optics and photonics solutions for markets including
material processing, printing, medical and consumer applications.
The Companys Chief Executive Officer is the Companys chief operating decision maker, and as such,
evaluates the performance of these segments and makes resource allocation decisions based on
segment revenues and segment operating income (loss), after allocating manufacturing costs between
these operating segments and allocating the Companys corporate general and administration costs to
these operating segments, exclusive of stock compensation, gains or losses on legal settlements,
gain on sale of property and equipment and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, none
of which are allocated to these operating segments.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
For the three months ended April 3, 2010, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei) accounted for 13
percent and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for 10 percent of the Companys revenues. For the three months
ended March 28, 2009, Huawei accounted for 21 percent and Nortel Networks Corporation (Nortel)
accounted for 16 percent of the Companys revenues.
For the nine months ended April 3, 2010, Huawei accounted for 13 percent of the Companys revenues.
For the nine months ended March 28, 2009, Nortel accounted for 17 percent and Huawei accounted for
17 percent of the Companys revenues.
As of April 3, 2010, Huawei accounted for 14 percent of the Companys accounts receivable. As of June 27, 2009,
Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent each accounted for 15 percent of the Companys accounts receivable.
In fiscal year 2009 the Company issued billings of (i) $4.1 million for products that were shipped
to Nortel, but for which payment was not received prior to Nortels bankruptcy filing on January
14, 2009, and (ii) $1.3 million for products that were shipped to a contract manufacturer for which
payment might not have been received due to the Nortel bankruptcy filing. As a result, an
aggregate of $5.4 million in revenue was deferred, and therefore was not recognized as revenues or
accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the time of such
billings, as the Company determined that such amounts were not reasonably assured of collectability
in accordance with its revenue recognition policy. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009,
the Company recognized revenues of $0.6 million from Nortel and $1.3 million from the related
contract manufacturer upon receipt of payment for billings which had been previously deferred. In
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, Nortel returned $0.8 million in products to the Company
which had been shipped to Nortel prior to the bankruptcy filing and which had not been paid for by
Nortel. As of April 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, the Company had remaining contractual receivables
from Nortel totaling $3.1 million associated with product shipments deferred as a result of
Nortels January 14, 2009 bankruptcy filing, including $0.4 million assumed in the merger with
Avanex, which are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 17. Subsequent Events
On April 14, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 1-for-5 reverse
split of its common stock, pursuant to previously obtained stockholder authorization. This reverse
stock split became effective at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 29, 2010, which reduced the
number of shares of the Companys common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 212
million to approximately 42 million and reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock
from 450 million to 90 million. All share and per share amounts herein have been
presented on a post-split basis.
On April 29, 2010, the Company announced that it would be selling 6,000,000 shares of its common

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, about our future expectations, plans or prospects and our business. These
forward-looking statements include statements concerning (i) the impact of the acquisition of
Avanex Corporation (Avanex), the exchange of assets with Newport Corporation (Newport), and the
acquisition of Xtellus Inc. (Xtellus) on the combined entitys financial results, including
without limitation, accretion, gross margin, operating income and cash usage, (ii) future expense
levels and sources for improvement of gross margin and operating expenses, including supply chain
synergies, optimizing mix of product offerings, transition to higher margin product offerings,
benefits of combined research and development and sales organizations and single public company
costs, (iii) the expected financial opportunities after the Avanex merger, the exchange of assets
with Newport, the Xtellus acquisition and the expected synergies related thereto, (iv)
opportunities to grow in adjacent markets, (v) statements containing the words target, believe,
plan, anticipate, expect, estimate, will, should, ongoing, and similar expressions
and (vi) the assumptions underlying such statements. There are a number of important factors that
could cause our actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements, including the impact of continued uncertainty in world financial
markets and the resulting reduction in demand for our products, the future performance of Oclaro,
Inc. following the closing of the merger with Avanex, the exchange of assets with Newport and the
acquisition of Xtellus, the inability to realize the expected benefits and synergies as a result of
the of the merger with Avanex, the exchange of assets with Newport and the acquisition of Xtellus,
increased costs related to downsizing and compliance with regulatory requirements in connection
with such downsizing, and the limited availability of credit or opportunity for equity-based
financing. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We cannot guarantee
any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, we assume no
obligation to update forward-looking statements or update the reasons actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. The factors discussed in the
sections captioned Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also identify important
factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in
our forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading provider of
high-performance core optical network components, modules and subsystems to global telecom
equipment manufacturers. We leverage our proprietary core technologies and vertically integrated
product development to provide our customers with cost-effective and innovative optical solutions
in metro and long-haul network applications. In addition, we utilize our optical expertise to address new and emerging optical product
opportunities in selective non-telecom markets, such as materials processing, consumer, medical,
industrial, printing and biotechnology, which we refer to as our Advanced Photonics Solutions
business. We offer our customers a differentiated solution that is designed to make it easier for
our customers to do business by combining optical technology innovation, photonic integration, and
a vertical approach to manufacturing and product development. We are a global company
with chip fabrication facilities in the United Kingdom (U.K.), Switzerland and Italy, as well as
in Arizona on a temporary basis that continued from the acquisition of related activities from
Newport Corporation (Newport) on July 4, 2009 through the end of March 2010; manufacturing sites
in the United States, Thailand, China and South Korea; and research and development teams in the
United States, U.K., Switzerland, Italy, China and Israel.
We are the result of the April 27, 2009 merger of Bookham, Inc. (Bookham) and Avanex, with
Bookham becoming the parent company and changing its name to Oclaro, Inc. (Oclaro) upon the close
of the merger. Subsequent to the merger, Avanex Corporation changed its name to Oclaro (North
America), Inc. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to Bookham refer to Oclaro,
Inc, and all references to Avanex relating to time periods after the merger refer to Oclaro (North
America), Inc. Under the terms of the merger, we issued approximately 17.0 million shares (85.2
million shares pre-split) of Oclaro common stock for all of the shares of Avanex outstanding on
April 27, 2009. Avanex stockholders received 1.085 shares (5.426 shares pre-split) of Oclaro
common stock for every share of Avanex common stock they owned. The merger is intended to qualify
as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. All financial information herein
prior to April 27, 2009 relates to the consolidated financial position and results of operations of
the former Bookham, and all financial information subsequent to April 27, 2009 herein relates to
the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Oclaro, which includes the
consolidated financial information of Avanex since April 27, 2009.
On July 4, 2009, we closed a transaction with Newport, under which we sold Newport the assets and
liabilities of the New Focus business of Oclaro Photonics, Inc., which was in our advanced
photonics solutions segment. In exchange, we received the assets of the high-power laser diodes
business of Newport, which is included in our advanced photonics solutions segment. We also
received $3.0 million in cash proceeds in the transaction, which has funded the substantial portion
of related transition and integration costs. During the three months ended September 26, 2009, we
recorded a $1.4 million gain from the sale of the New Focus business and a $5.3 million gain on
bargain purchase from the acquisition of Newports high-
26
power laser diodes business. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we completed our purchase
accounting related to this transaction. Adjustments recorded in the second fiscal quarter were
reflected retrospectively as if they had been recorded as of the acquisition date. We intend that
this acquisition will help us leverage our existing state-of-the art global manufacturing
infrastructure and lower certain of our product costs, including the costs of certain of our
transmission products, as a result of operating efficiencies achieved through economies of scale
and greater factory utilization achieved from shutting down our Newport wafer fabrication
facilities in Tucson, Arizona, which was substantially complete in March 2010, and bringing up the
corresponding production in our European facilities.
On December 17, 2009, we acquired Xtellus Inc. (Xtellus) through the issuance of 4.7 million
shares (23.4 million shares pre-split) of our common stock, a portion of which is being held in
escrow for 18 months to support Xtellus indemnification obligations to us, which may be payable in cash, or, at our option, in newly issued shares of our Common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. Under the terms of the
acquisition agreement, we also provide for a value protection guarantee whereby stockholders of
Xtellus are entitled to receive up to $7.0 million in additional consideration if Oclaros common
stock trades below certain levels at the end of calendar year 2010 and if revenue from Xtellus
products is more than $17.0 million in calendar year 2010. For accounting purposes, the total
consideration in connection with the acquisition is $32.7 million. In connection with this
acquisition we recorded $25.2 million in goodwill. We intend to finalize our purchase accounting
with respect to this acquisition by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Any adjustments
recorded will be retrospectively presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements as
though they had been recorded as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to this acquisition, Xtellus
Inc. changed its name to Oclaro (New Jersey), Inc. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q to Xtellus refer to Oclaro (New Jersey), Inc.
Recent Significant Events
On April 14, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a 1-for-5 reverse split of
our common stock, pursuant to previously obtained stockholder authorization. This reverse stock
split became effective at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 29, 2010, which reduced the number of
shares of our common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 212 million to approximately
42 million and reduced the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 450 million to 90
million. All share and per share amounts herein are presented on a post-split basis.
On April 29, 2010, we announced that we would be selling 6,000,000 shares of our common stock in a
public offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement. The offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering. We intend to use the net
proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We may use
a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products or
technologies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving
Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires companies to: disclose separately
the amounts of significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements
and to describe the reasons for such transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair
value measurements, companies are to present separately information about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. The revised authoritative guidance for Level 1 and 2
fair value measurements is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009 and the revised authoritative guidance for Level 3 fair value measurements is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those
fiscal years with early application permitted. Our adoption of the revised guidance for Levels 1
and 2 during the three months ended April 3, 2010 did not have any effect on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations. We intend to adopt the revised guidance for Level 3
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and we do not expect the adoption to have a material
effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements
that Include Software Elements amending ASC 985. ASU 2009-14 applies to vendors that sell or lease
tangible products that contain software that is more than incidental to the tangible product as a
whole. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and
provides direction for measuring and allocating revenue between the deliverables within the
arrangement. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or
materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are currently
evaluating the impact of ASU 2009-14, but do not expect its adoption to have a material impact on
our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable
Revenue Arrangements amending ASC 605. ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling
price hierarchy. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual
27
method of revenue allocation and requires revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price
method. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are currently evaluating the
impact of ASU 2009-13, but do not expect its adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our
condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and
other financial information. Actual results may differ significantly from those based on our
estimates and judgments or could be materially different if we used different assumptions,
estimates or conditions. In addition, our financial condition and results of operations could vary
due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.
We identified our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 27, 2009 (2009 Form 10-K) related to revenue recognition and sales returns, inventory
valuation, accounting for acquisitions and goodwill, impairment of goodwill and other intangible
assets and accounting for share-based payments. It is important that the discussion of our
operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies
discussed in our 2009 Form 10-K.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended April 3, 2010 increased by $59.9 million, or 145 percent,
compared to the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily related to the
inclusion of revenues in fiscal year 2010 generated through the merger with Avanex on April 27,
2009, all of which are associated with our telecom segment, as well as improvements in market
conditions, as compared to the calendar year 2009 economic downturn, in both of our operating
segments. For the three months ended April 3, 2010, revenues in the telecom and advanced photonics
solution segments increased by $49.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively, compared to the three
months ended March 28, 2009. Our advanced photonics solutions segment revenues increased primarily as a
result of including revenues from our July 4, 2009 acquisition of the Newport laser diode business
in our results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2010.
For the three months ended April 3, 2010, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei) accounted for
$12.9 million, or 13 percent, of our revenues, and Alcatel-Lucent accounted for $9.8 million, or 10
percent, of our revenues. For the three months ended March 28, 2009, Huawei accounted for $8.8
million, or 21 percent, of our revenues, and Nortel Networks Corporation (Nortel) accounted for
$6.8 million, or 16 percent, of our revenues.
Revenues for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 increased by $135.8 million, or 94 percent,
compared to the nine months
ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily related to the inclusion of revenues in fiscal
year 2010 generated through the merger with Avanex on April 27, 2009, all of which are associated
with our telecom segment, as well as improvements in market conditions, as compared to the calendar
year 2009 economic downturn, in both of our operating segments. For the
30
nine months ended April 3,
2010, revenues in the telecom and advanced photonics solution segments increased by $115.4 million
and $20.4 million, respectively, compared to the nine months ended March 28, 2009. Our advanced
photonics solutions segment revenues increased primarily as a result of including revenues from our July 4,
2009 acquisition of the Newport laser diode business in our results of operations for the nine
months ended April 3, 2010.
For the nine months ended April 3, 2010, Huawei accounted for $37.6 million, or 13 percent, of our
revenues. For the nine months ended March 28, 2009, Huawei accounted for $25.2 million, or 17
percent, of our revenues and Nortel accounted for $24.8 million, or 17 percent, of our revenues.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues consists of the costs associated with manufacturing our products, and includes
the purchase of raw materials, labor costs and related overhead, including stock-based compensation
charges, and the costs charged by our contract manufacturers on the products they manufacture for us.
Charges for excess and obsolete inventory, including in regards to inventories procured by contract
manufacturers on our behalf, the cost of product returns and warranty costs are also included in
cost of revenues. Costs and expenses related to our manufacturing resources incurred in connection
with the development of new products are included in research and development expense.
Our cost of revenues for the three months ended April 3, 2010 increased $40.9 million, or 126
percent, from the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily related to the
inclusion of cost of revenues in fiscal year 2010 generated through the merger with Avanex on April
27, 2009, as well as costs associated with higher volumes of revenue resulting from improved market
conditions subsequent to the economic downturn of calendar year 2009, offset in part by decreases
from merger-related synergies and realizing the benefits of previous cost reduction efforts
described more fully in Note 7, Restructuring Liabilities, to our condensed consolidated financial
statements, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 increased $91.0 million, or 80
percent, from the nine months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily related to the
inclusion of cost of revenues in fiscal year 2010 generated through the merger with Avanex on April
27, 2009, as well as costs associated with higher volumes of revenue resulting from
improved market conditions subsequent to the economic downturn of calendar year 2009, which were
partially offset by decreases from merger-related synergies and realizing the benefits of previous
cost reduction efforts.
The costs associated with the $3.5 million of products shipped to two customers in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2009, but for which revenues were deferred in accordance with our revenue
recognition policy, are fully included in costs of revenues for the nine months ended March 28,
2009 as title to the products passed to the customer upon shipment or delivery, depending on the
terms of the individual sale.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as revenues less cost of revenues. Gross margin rate is gross profit
reflected as a percentage of revenues.
Our gross margin rate increased to 28 percent for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared to
21 percent for the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase in gross margin rate was
primarily due to operating leverage from higher revenue volumes, synergies from the merger with
Avanex, including related cost reductions and the internal sourcing of Oclaro components into
Avanex products, as well as the impact of other cost reduction efforts during fiscal year 2009.
During the three months ended March 28, 2009, the recognition of $1.9 million of revenues, and $1.9
million of related gross margin, from two customers upon receipt of payment for billings which had
been previously deferred increased our gross margin rate by approximately 3.8 percentage points
because all of the related cost of sales was recognized during the second quarter of fiscal year
2009.
Our gross margin rate increased to 27 percent for the nine months ended April 3, 2010, compared to
21 percent for the nine months ended March 28, 2009. The increase in gross margin rate was
primarily due to operating leverage from higher revenue volumes, synergies from the merger with
Avanex, including related cost reductions and the internal sourcing of Oclaro components into
Avanex products, as well as the impact of other cost reduction efforts during fiscal year 2009.
Gross margin rate for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 also increased relative to the nine months
ended March 28, 2009 due to
recognizing the costs associated with the $3.5 million of products shipped to two customers in the
nine months ended March 28, 2009, but for which revenues were deferred in accordance with our revenue
recognition policy.
31
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees
engaged in research and design activities, including stock-based compensation charges related to
those employees, costs of design tools and computer hardware, costs related to prototyping and
facilities costs for certain research and development focused sites.
Research and development expenses increased to $11.3 million for the three months ended April 3,
2010 from $5.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily due to
an increase in research and development activities in connection with the merger with Avanex on
April 27, 2009, and increased investment in research and development resources, primarily
personnel-related, as we have exited the economic downturn of calendar year 2009 and are investing
to match the rate of our anticipated revenue growth. Personnel-related costs increased to $7.4 million for the
three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $3.1 million for the three months ended March 28,
2009. Other costs, including the costs of design tools and facilities-related costs increased to
$3.9 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $2.2 million for the three
months ended March 28, 2009.
Research and development expenses increased to $30.0 million for the nine months ended April 3,
2010 from $17.9 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was primarily due to
an increase in research and development activities in connection with the merger with Avanex on
April 27, 2009, and increased investment in research and development resources, primarily
personnel-related, as we have exited the economic downturn of calendar year 2009 and are investing
to match the rate of our anticipated revenue growth, as well as an additional week during the nine months ended
April 3, 2010. Personnel-related costs increased to $19.8 million for the nine months ended April
3, 2010, compared with $10.4 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009. Other costs,
including the costs of design tools and facilities-related costs increased to $10.2 million for the
nine months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $7.5 million for the nine months ended March 28,
2009.
Over the coming year, we intend to increase our research and development expenditures consistent
with the rate of our anticipated revenue growth, with a bias towards investing in low cost regions where
practical.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses,
including stock-based compensation charges related to employees engaged in sales, general and
administrative functions, legal and professional fees, facilities expenses, insurance expenses and
certain information technology costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $14.5 million for the three months ended
April 3, 2010, from $7.6 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was
primarily due to the increase in costs incurred in connection with the merger with Avanex on April
27, 2009, offset in part by merger-related synergies. Personnel-related costs increased to $8.4
million for the three months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $4.2 million for the three months
ended March 28, 2009. Other costs, including legal and professional fees, facilities expenses and
other miscellaneous expenses increased to $6.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2010,
compared with $3.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $42.2 million for the nine months ended
April 3, 2010, from $24.2 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in costs incurred in connection with the merger with Avanex on April
27, 2009 and from including an additional week during the nine months ended April 3, 2010, offset
in part by merger-related synergies. Personnel-related costs increased to $23.5 million for the
nine months ended April 3, 2010, compared with $13.6 million for the nine months ended March 28,
2009. Other costs, including legal and professional fees, facilities expenses and other
miscellaneous expenses increased to $18.8 million for the nine months ended April 3, 2010, compared
with $10.6 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2009.
Restructuring, Merger and Related Costs
For the three months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, we accrued $1.0 million and $0.1
million, respectively, in expenses for revised estimates related to employee separation charges,
asset impairments and costs to exit certain facilities. During the three months ended April 3,
2010, we also recorded $0.9 million for merger-related costs, which include $0.5 million of
professional fees and $0.4 million in employee retention payments payable in connection with the
acquisition of Xtellus. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we reassessed the fair value
of the value protection liability related to our Xtellus acquisition determining that the fair
value of this liability declined from $0.9 million at January 2, 2010 to $0.6 million at April 3,
2010. This $0.3 million change in fair value was recognized as a reduction to merger-related costs
during
32
the three months ended April 3, 2010. For further description, see Note 4, Business Combinations,
to our condensed consolidated financial statements, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
For the nine months ended April 3, 2010 and March 28, 2009, we accrued $4.0 million and $1.7
million, respectively, in expenses for revised estimates related to employee separation charges and
costs to exit certain facilities. During the nine months ended April 3, 2010, we also recorded
$2.5 million for merger-related costs, which include $1.5 million of professional fees and $1.0
million in employee retention payments payable in connection with the acquisition of Xtellus.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we reassessed the fair value of the value protection
liability related to our Xtellus acquisition determining that the fair value of this liability
declined from $0.9 million at January 2, 2010 to $0.6 million at April 3, 2010. This $0.3 million
change in fair value was recognized as a reduction to merger-related costs during the three months
ended April 3, 2010.
Legal Settlement
On April 10, 2009, we settled our outstanding litigation with JDS Uniphase Corporation (JDSU),
which resulted in us recording $3.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in legal settlement
expenses during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009. Of these amounts, $3.0 million in
each period represents settlement payments paid to JDSU and $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the
three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively, represents legal fees incurred in
connection with the JDSU litigation and settlement. Legal fees during the nine months ended March
28, 2009 were partially offset by a $0.2 million benefit from the settlement of a legal action in
connection with our sale of land in Swindon, U.K. to a third-party in 2005.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During the three month period ended December 27, 2008, we saw indicators of potential impairment of
our goodwill, including the impact of the current general economic downturn on our future prospects
and the continued decline of our current market capitalization, which caused us to conduct a
preliminary interim goodwill impairment analysis. Based on our preliminary calculations, we
determined that the goodwill in our New Focus and Avalon reporting units was in fact impaired. We
recorded an estimate of $7.9 million for the impairment loss in our condensed consolidated
statement of operations during the three months ended December 27, 2008 as we concluded that the
loss was probable and the amount of the loss was reasonably determinable. During the third quarter
ended March 28, 2009, we completed our full evaluation of the second step impairment analysis,
concluding that the goodwill of $7.9 million was fully impaired.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, in conjunction with our full evaluation of the second
step goodwill impairment analysis, we also evaluated the fair value of the intangible assets of our
reporting units, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Based on this testing,
we determined that the intangibles of our Avalon reporting unit was impaired by $1.2 million, which
we reflected in our statements of operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.
(Gain)Loss on Sale of Property and Equipment
For the nine months ended April 3, 2010, we recorded a net gain of $0.5 million, primarily related
to the sale of certain fixed assets in Villebon, France made surplus in connection with the closing
of that facility.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended April 3, 2010 increased by $1.3 million compared
to the three months ended March 28, 2009. This was primarily related to a $1.4 million increase in
gain from the re-measurement of short term receivables and payables for fluctuations in the U.S.
dollar relative to our other local functional currencies during the corresponding periods among
certain of our wholly-owned international subsidiaries.
Other income (expense) for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 decreased by $9.8 million compared
to the nine months ended March 28, 2009. This was primarily related to a $15.5 million decrease in
gain from the re-measurement of short term receivables and payables for fluctuations in the U.S.
dollar relative to our other local functional currencies during the corresponding periods among
certain of our wholly-owned international subsidiaries. The decrease was offset in part by a $5.3
million gain from the bargain purchase of the high-power laser diodes business from Newport on July
4, 2009. The decrease was also partially offset by a $0.7 million expense related to the fair
value impairment of our short-term investment in a debt security of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.
recognized during the nine months ended March 28, 2009.
33
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
For the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, our income tax provision of $0.5 million and
$1.2 million, respectively, primarily relates to income taxes on our operations in Italy, China and
the United States. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical
operating performance and the recorded cumulative net losses in prior periods, we have provided a
full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets at April 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009.
Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations
During the nine months ended April 3, 2010, we recorded income of $1.4 million from discontinued
operations from the sale of the New Focus business. For the three and nine months ended March 28,
2009, we recorded losses of $3.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to the operations
of the New Focus business during those periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 was $1.6 million,
resulting from net income of $1.8 million, plus non-cash adjustments of $3.7 million, offset by a
$7.1 million decrease in cash resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities. The
$3.7 million increase in cash resulting from non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of the $8.7
million of expense related to depreciation and amortization and $3.2 million of expense related to
stock-based compensation, offset in part by the $5.3 million in gain from the bargain purchase of
the high-power laser diodes business from Newport, $1.4 million in gain from the sale of the New
Focus business, $0.6 million from the amortization of deferred gain from a sales-leaseback
transaction, $0.5 million in gain from the sale of property and equipment and $0.3 million from the change in fair value of the value protection guarantee related to the acquisition of Xtellus. The $7.1 million
decrease in cash resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities was comprised of
cash used by an accounts receivable increase of $18.7 million and by accrued expenses and other
liabilities decrease of $7.2 million, offset in part by cash generated from inventory decreases of
$6.5 million, other non-current assets decreases of $1.6 million, and accounts payable increases of
$10.8 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 was $4.1
million, resulting from non-cash adjustments of $24.9 million, offset by a net loss of $17.5
million and by a $3.2 million decrease from the change in operating assets and liabilities. The
$24.9 million increase in cash resulting from non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of the $11.9
million charge for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, $9.8 million of expense
related to depreciation and amortization and $3.3 million of expense related to stock-based
compensation. These were partially offset by a decrease in cash from a net change in our operating
assets and liabilities of $3.2 million due to an increase in accounts receivable and other assets
and a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by decreases in inventories and prepaid
expenses and other current assets, and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Included in net loss for the period are a gain of approximately $6.4 million related to the
revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany receivables on the books of our U.K.
subsidiary, and a gain of approximately $1.0 million related to the revaluation of foreign currency
denominated operating intercompany receivables on the books of our Shenzhen subsidiary.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 was $6.9 million,
primarily consisting of $9.3 million in sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments,
$3.0 million in cash proceeds from the exchange of assets with Newport, $0.3 million in cash
proceeds from the acquisition of Xtellus, and $0.7 million in proceeds from the sale of certain
fixed assets, which were partially offset by $5.9 million used in capital expenditures and $0.3
million used to acquire intangible assets, equipment and inventory through an asset purchase.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 was $3.5
million, primarily consisting of $18.3 million in sales and maturities of available-for-sale
investments and $0.6 million from the release of restricted cash, which were partially offset by
$6.9 million in purchases of available-for-sale investments and $8.5 million used in capital
expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 primarily
resulted from $2.5 million in net proceeds from borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement.
There were no other significant cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended
April 3, 2010 or the nine months ended March 28, 2009.
34
Effect of Exchange Rates on Cash and Cash Equivalents for the Nine Months Ended April 3, 2010
The effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended April 3, 2010
was a decrease of $1.0 million, primarily consisting of a loss of approximately $1.4 million
related to the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany payables on the books
of our U.K. subsidiary, offset by $0.2 million in net gain from the revaluation of foreign currency
denominated intercompany balances on the books of our Shenzhen subsidiary, $0.2 million in net gain
due to the revaluation of foreign currency cash balances to the functional currency of the
respective subsidiaries.
Credit Facility
On August 2, 2006, we entered into a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with
Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. and other lenders. On April 27, 2009, we, along with Oclaro Technology
plc, Oclaro Photonics, Inc. and Oclaro Technology, Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary,
collectively the Borrowers, entered into an amendment to our existing credit agreement (Amended
Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. and other lenders regarding the $25.0 million
senior secured revolving credit facility, extending the term to August 1, 2012. Under the Amended
Credit Agreement, advances are available based on 80 percent of qualified accounts receivable, as
defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. As of April 3, 2010, there was $2.5 million outstanding
under the Amended Credit Agreement with an interest rate of 7.00 percent, which was based on the
banks prime rate plus 3.50 percentage points. There was no amount outstanding as of June 27,
2009. As of April 3, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit
Agreement.
At April 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, there were $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in
outstanding standby letters of credit with a vendor secured under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The standby letter of credit for $1.0 million expired in April 2010.
Future Cash Requirements
As of April 3, 2010, we held $51.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.3 million in
restricted cash. We expect that our cash generated from operations, together with our current cash
balances and amounts expected to be available under our Amended Credit Agreement, which are based
on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) at the
time the advance is requested, will provide us with sufficient financial resources in order to
operate as a going concern through at least the four fiscal quarters subsequent to the fiscal
quarter ended April 3, 2010. On April 29, 2010, we announced that we would be selling 6,000,000
shares of our common stock in a public offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration. The offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to
whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including
working capital. We may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary
businesses, products or technologies. In the future, in order to
strengthen our financial position, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, or in the event
we need to fund our growth in future financial periods, we may need to raise additional funds by any one or a
combination of the following: issuing equity securities, debt or convertible debt or the sale of
certain product lines and/or portions of our business. There can be no guarantee that we will be
able to raise additional funds, including funds under the proposed offering announced on April 29,
2010, on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
From time to time, we have engaged in discussions with third parties concerning potential
acquisitions of product lines, technologies and businesses, such as our mergers with Avanex and
Xtellus and our exchange of assets agreements with Newport, and we continue to consider potential
acquisition candidates. Any such transactions could involve the issuance of a significant number of
new equity securities, debt, and/or cash consideration. We may also be required to raise additional
funds to complete any such acquisition, through either the issuance of equity securities or
borrowings. If we raise additional funds or acquire businesses or technologies through the issuance
of equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution.

Risk Management Foreign Currency Risk
As our business is multinational in scope, we are increasingly subject to fluctuations based upon
changes in the exchange rates between the currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses.
In the future we expect that a majority of our revenues will be denominated in U.S. dollars, while
a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in U.K. pounds sterling.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling and, to a
lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses could affect our
operating results. This includes the Chinese yuan, the Swiss franc, the Thai baht and the Euro, in
which we pay expenses in connection with operating our facilities in Shenzhen, China; Zurich,
Switzerland; Bangkok, Thailand; San Donato, Italy; Korean won; and Israeli, shekel. To the extent
the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies were to fluctuate more significantly
than experienced to date, our exposure would increase. We enter into foreign currency forward
exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of our exposure to such fluctuations between
the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling, and we may be required to convert currencies to meet
our obligations. Under certain circumstances, foreign currency forward exchange contracts can have
an adverse effect on our financial condition. As of April 3, 2010, we held twelve outstanding
foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a notional value of $12.0 million which include
put and call options which expire, or expired, at various dates from April 2010 to December 2010.
During the three and nine months ended April 3, 2010, we recorded net losses of nil and $0.7
million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with
foreign exchange contracts that expired during the periods. As of April 3, 2010 we have recorded an
unrealized loss of $0.4 million to Accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with
marking these contracts to fair value.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as required by law, and have entered into
indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a
liability associated with these indemnification arrangements as we historically have not incurred
any costs associated with such indemnification obligations and do not expect to in the future.
Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that
we maintain, however such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts
we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in
the future.
We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course
of business, such as those issued by our bankers in favor of several of our suppliers or
indemnification in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of
purchasing our products. We have not historically paid out any amounts related to these
indemnifications and do not expect to in the future, therefore no accrual has been made for these
indemnifications.
Other than as set forth above, we are not currently party to any material off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates
We finance our operations through a mixture of the issuance of equity securities, finance leases,
working capital and by drawing on the Amended Credit Agreement. Our only exposure to interest rate
fluctuations is on our cash deposits and for amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement.
As of April 3, 2010, there was $2.5 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement with an
interest rate of 7.00 percent, which was based on the banks prime rate plus 3.50 percentage
points. A 10 percent increase in the level of interest rates, with all other variables held
constant, would have resulted in an immaterial increase in interest expense for the three and nine
months ended April 3, 2010. As of April 3, 2010, we had $1.0 million in outstanding standby
letters of credits with a vendor secured under the Amended Credit Agreement.
We monitor our interest rate risk on cash balances primarily through cash flow forecasting. Cash
that is surplus to immediate requirements is generally invested in short-term deposits with banks
accessible within one days notice and invested in overnight money market accounts. We believe our
interest rate risk is immaterial.
36
Foreign currency
As our business has grown and become multinational in scope, we have become increasingly subject to
fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates between the currencies in which we collect
revenues and pay expenses. Despite our change in domicile from the United Kingdom to the United
States in 2004, and our movement of certain functions, including assembly and test operations, from
the United Kingdom to China, in the future we expect that a majority of our revenues will continue
to be denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be
denominated in U.K. pounds sterling. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and
the U.K. pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and
pay expenses, could affect our operating results. This includes the Chinese yuan, the Korean won,
the Israeli shekel, the Swiss franc, the Thai baht and the Euro in which we pay expenses in
connection with operating our facilities in Shenzhen, China; Daejeon, South Korea; Jerusalem,
Israel; Zurich, Switzerland; Bangkok, Thailand and San Donato, Italy. To the extent the exchange
rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies were to fluctuate more significantly than
experienced to date, our exposure would increase.
As of April 3, 2010, our U.K. subsidiary had $30.4 million, net, in U.S. dollar denominated
operating intercompany payables and $51.5 million in U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable
related to sales to external customers. It is estimated that a 10 percent fluctuation in the U.S.
dollar relative to the U.K. pound sterling would lead to a profit of $2.1 million (U.S. dollar
strengthening), or loss of $2.1 million (U.S. dollar weakening) on the translation of these
receivables, which would be recorded as gain (loss) on foreign exchange in our condensed
consolidated statement of operations.
Hedging Program
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of our
exposure to such fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling. We do not
currently hedge our exposure to the Chinese yuan, Korean won, Israeli shekel, Swiss franc, Thai
baht or Euro, but we may in the future if conditions warrant. We also do not currently hedge our
exposure related to our U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and receivables. We may be
required to convert currencies to meet our obligations. Under certain circumstances, foreign
currency forward exchange contracts can have an adverse effect on our financial condition. As of
April 3, 2010, we held twelve outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts with a
notional value of $12.0 million which include put and call options which expire, or expired, at
various dates from April 2010 to December 2010 and we have recorded an unrealized loss of $0.4
million to Accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with marking these contracts to
fair value as of April 3, 2010. It is estimated that a 10 percent fluctuation in the dollar
between April 3, 2010 and the maturity dates of the put and call instruments underlying these
contracts would lead to a profit of zero dollars (U.S. dollar weakening) or loss of $2.4 million
dollars (U.S. dollar strengthening) on our outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts,
should they be held to maturity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 3, 2010. The term
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a
company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive
and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management
necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 3,
2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date,
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended
April 3, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On June 26, 2001, the first of a number of securities class actions was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York against New Focus, Inc., now known as Oclaro
Photonics, Inc. (New Focus), certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters for
New Focus initial and secondary public offerings. A consolidated amended class action complaint,
captioned In re New Focus, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 5822,
was filed on April 20, 2002. The complaint generally alleges that various underwriters engaged in
improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in New Focus initial
public offering and seeks unspecified damages for claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of a
purported class of purchasers of common stock from May 17, 2000 to December 6, 2000.
The lawsuit against New Focus is coordinated for pretrial proceedings with a number of other
pending litigations challenging underwriter practices in over 300 cases, as In re Initial Public
Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), including actions against Bookham Technology plc,
now known as Oclaro Technology plc (Bookham Technology) and Avanex Corporation, now known as Oclaro
(North America), Inc. (Avanex), and certain of each entitys respective officers and directors, and
certain of the underwriters of their public offerings. In October 2002, the claims against the
directors and officers of New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex were dismissed, without
prejudice, subject to the directors and officers execution of tolling agreements.
In 2007, a settlement between certain parties in the litigation that had been pending with the
Court since 2004 was terminated by stipulation of the parties to the settlement, after a ruling by
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in six focus cases in the coordinated proceeding (the actions
involving Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex are not focus cases) made it unlikely that the
settlement would receive final court approval. Plaintiffs filed amended master allegations and
amended complaints in the six focus cases. In 2008, the Court largely denied the focus case
defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaints.
The parties have reached a global settlement of the litigation. On October 5, 2009, the Court
entered an order certifying a settlement class and granting final approval of the settlement. Under
the settlement, the insurers will pay the full amount of the settlement share allocated to New
Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, and New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex will bear no
financial liability. New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, as well as the officer and director
defendants who were previously dismissed from the action pursuant to tolling agreements, will
receive complete dismissals from the case. Certain objectors have appealed the Courts October 5,
2009 order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. If for any reason the settlement does not become
effective, we believe that Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex have meritorious defenses to
the claims and therefore believe that such claims will not have a material effect on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 13, 2009, Bijan Badihian filed a complaint against Avanex Corporation, its then-CEO
Giovanni Barbarossa, then interim CFO Mark Weinswig and an administrative assistant (who has since
been dismissed from the action), in the Superior Court for the State of California, Los Angeles
County. On June 8, 2009, after defendants filed a demurrer, plaintiff filed a First Amended
Complaint adding as defendants Oclaro, Inc. as successor to Avanex, and Paul Smith, who was
Chairman of the Avanex Board of Directors. On April 28, 2010 Badihian filed a Second Amended
Complaint, which names Avanex, Oclaro (as successor in interest), Greg Dougherty, Joel Smith III,
Paul Smith, Barbarossa, and Weinswig. Messrs. Barbarossa, Dougherty and Smith III are current
members of Oclaros Board of Directors. The Second Amended Complaint alleges that defendants
failed to disclose material facts regarding Avanexs operational performance and future prospects,
or engaged in conduct which negatively impacted those future prospects. The Second Amended
Complaint alleges causes of action for (1) breach of fiduciary duty; (2) intentional
misrepresentation; (3) negligent misrepresentation; (4) concealment; (5) constructive fraud; (6)
intentional infliction of emotional distress; and (7) negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The Second Amended Complaint seeks at least $5 million in compensatory damages plus prejudgment
interest, unspecified damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and costs. The parties are
currently engaged in discovery. The Superior Court has set a trial date of January 18, 2011.
On May 27, 2009, a patent infringement action captioned QinetiQ Limited v. Oclaro, Inc., Civil
Action No. 1:09-cv-00372, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware. The action alleges infringement of United States Patent Nos. 5,410,625 and 5,428,698 and
seeks a permanent injunction against all products found to infringe those patents, unspecified
damages, costs, attorneys fees and other expenses. On July 16, 2009, Oclaro filed an answer to
the complaint and stated counterclaims against QinetiQ Limited for judgments of invalidity and
unenforceability of the patents-in-suit and seeking costs, attorneys fees, and other expenses. On
August 7, 2009, QinetiQ Limited requested that the District Court
38
dismiss Oclaros unenforceability counterclaims and strike two of Oclaros affirmative defenses.
On August 24, 2009, Oclaro filed its brief opposing QinetiQs request. QinetiQ Limited has since
indicated to the Court that it plans to withdraw that request. On August 14, 2009, Oclaro filed a
Motion to Transfer Venue, requesting that the action be transferred to the Northern District of
California. On December 18, 2009, the District Court for the District of Delaware granted Oclaros
Motion to Transfer and transferred the action to the Northern District of California. Oclaro
believes the claims asserted against it by QinetiQ are without merit and will continue to defend
itself vigorously.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the
risks and uncertainties described below in addition to the other information included or
incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In
that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you could lose all or part of your
investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of large operating losses and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the
future.
We have historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.
As of April 3, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,090 million. Our income from continuing
operations for the nine months ended April 3, 2010 was $0.4 million. Our losses from continuing
operations for the fiscal years ended June 27, 2009, June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $25.8
million, $23.3 million and $82.5 million, respectively. We may not be able to achieve profitability
in any future periods. If we are unable to do so, we may need additional financing, which may not
be available to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all, to execute on our current or future
business strategies.
We may not be able to maintain current levels of gross margins.
We may not be able to maintain or improve our gross margins, to the extent that current economic
uncertainty, changes in customer demand, or other factors, affects our overall revenue, and we are
unable to adjust our expenses as necessary. We attempt, in any event, to reduce our product costs
and improve our product mix to offset price erosion expected in most product categories. Our gross
margins can also be adversely impacted for reasons including, but not limited to, unfavorable
production variances, increases in costs of input parts and materials, the timing of movements in
our inventory balances, warranty costs and related returns, and possible exposure to inventory
valuation reserves. Any failure to maintain, or improve, our gross margins will adversely affect
our financial results, including our goal to achieve sustainable cash flow positive operations.
Our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted by general economic and financial
market conditions and such conditions may increase the other risks that affect our business.
Over the past 18 to 24 months, the worlds financial markets have experienced significant turmoil,
resulting in reductions in available credit, increased costs of credit, extreme volatility in
security prices, potential changes to existing credit terms, rating downgrades of investments and
reduced valuations of securities generally. In light of these economic conditions, many of our
customers reduced their spending plans, leading them to draw down their existing inventory and
reduce orders for optical components. While we have seen a short-term improvement in customer
demand, and improvements in the economic conditions contributing to that improved customer demand,
it is possible that economic conditions could experience further setbacks, and that these
customers, or others, could as a result significantly reduce their capital expenditures, draw down
their inventories, reduce production levels of existing products, defer introduction of new
products or place orders and accept delivery for products for which they do not pay us due to their
economic difficulties or other reasons. Prior to the recent improvement in customer demand, these
actions had, and in future quarters could continue to have, an adverse impact on our own revenues.
In addition, the financial downturn affected the financial strength of certain of our customers,
and could adversely affect others. In particular, in fiscal year 2009, we issued billings of (i)
$4.1 million for products that were shipped to Nortel, but for which payment was not received prior
to Nortels bankruptcy filing on January 14, 2009, and (ii) $1.3 million for products that were
shipped to a contract manufacturer for which payment might not have been received due to the Nortel
bankruptcy filing. As a result, an aggregate of $5.4 million in revenue was deferred, and
therefore was not recognized as revenues or accounts receivable in our consolidated financial
statements at the time of such billings, as we determined that such amounts were not reasonably
assured of collectability in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of April 3, 2010,
the remaining uncollected contractual receivables from Nortel, from prior to its bankruptcy filing,
totaled $3.1 million, which are not reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
39
In addition, our suppliers may also be adversely affected by economic conditions that may impact
their ability to provide important components used in our manufacturing processes on a timely
basis, or at all.
These conditions could also result in reduced capital resources because of reduced credit
availability, higher costs of credit and the stretching of payables by creditors seeking to
preserve their own cash resources. We are unable to predict the likely duration, severity and
potential continuation of the recent disruption in financial markets and adverse economic
conditions in the U.S. and other countries, but the longer the duration the greater risks we face
in operating our business.
Our success will depend on our ability to anticipate and respond to evolving technologies and
customer requirements.
The market for telecommunications equipment is characterized by substantial capital investment and
diverse and evolving technologies. For example, the market for optical components is currently
characterized by a trend toward the adoption of pluggable components and tunable transmitters that
do not require the customized interconnections of traditional fixed wavelength gold box devices
and the increased integration of components on subsystems. Our ability to anticipate and respond to
these and other changes in technology, industry standards, customer requirements and product
offerings and to develop and introduce new and enhanced products will be significant factors in our
ability to succeed. We expect that new technologies will continue to emerge as competition in the
telecommunications industry increases and the need for higher and more cost efficient bandwidth
expands. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies or the emergence of new
industry standards could render our existing products or products in development uncompetitive from
a pricing standpoint, obsolete or unmarketable.
The market for optical components continues to be characterized by excess capacity and intense
price competition which has had, and may have, a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
There continues to be excess capacity for many optical components companies, intense price
competition among optical component manufacturers and continued consolidation in the industry. As a
result of this excess capacity and other industry factors, pricing pressure remains intense. The
continued uncertainties in the optical telecommunications systems industry and the global economy
make it difficult for us to anticipate revenue levels and therefore to make appropriate estimates
and plans relating to cost management. Continued uncertain demand for optical components has had,
and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant percentage of our revenues.
Historically, we have generated most of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Our
dependence on a limited number of customers is due to the fact that the optical telecommunications
systems industry is dominated by a small number of large companies. These companies in turn depend
primarily on a limited number of major telecommunications carrier customers to purchase their
products that incorporate our optical components.
For example, in the nine months ended April 3, 2010, and fiscal years ended June 27, 2009, June 28,
2008 and June 30, 2007, our three largest customers accounted for 28 percent, 38 percent, 38
percent and 49 percent of our net revenues, respectively. Revenues from any of our major customers
may fluctuate significantly in the future, which could have an adverse impact on our business and
results of operations.
The majority of our long-term customer contracts do not commit customers to specified buying
levels, and our customers may decrease, cancel or delay their buying levels at any time with little
or no advance notice to us.
The majority of our customers typically purchase our products pursuant to individual purchase
orders or contracts that do not contain purchase commitments. Some customers provide us with their
expected forecasts for our products several months in advance, but many of these customers may
decrease, cancel or delay purchase orders already in place, and the impact of any such actions may
be intensified given our dependence on a small number of large customers. If any of our major
customers decrease, stop or delay purchasing our products for any reason, our business and results
of operations would be harmed. Cancellation or delays of such orders may cause us to fail to
achieve our short-term and long-term financial and operating goals and result in excess and
obsolete inventory.
We may make acquisitions that do not prove successful.
From time to time we consider acquisitions of other businesses, assets or companies. We may not be
able to identify suitable acquisition candidates at prices we consider appropriate. If we do
identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to successfully and
satisfactorily negotiate the terms of the acquisition. Our management may not be able to
effectively implement our acquisition plans and internal growth strategy simultaneously. We are
also in an industry that is
40
actively consolidating and there is no guarantee that we will successfully bid against third
parties, including competitors, when we identify a critical target we want to acquire.
The integration of acquisitions involves a number of risks and presents financial, managerial and
operational challenges. We may have difficulty, and may incur unanticipated expenses related to,
integrating management and personnel from these acquired entities with our management and
personnel. Our failure to identify, consummate or integrate suitable acquisitions could adversely
affect our business and results of operations. We cannot readily predict the timing, size or
success of our future acquisitions. Failure to successfully implement our acquisition plans could
have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations. Even successful acquisitions could have the effect of reducing our cash balances,
diluting the ownership interests of existing stockholders or increasing our indebtedness. For
example, our recent acquisition of Xtellus required an immediate issuance of a significant number
of newly issued shares of our common stock and we may be required to issue a significant additional
number of newly issued shares of our common stock in connection with the value protection
guarantee provided to Xtellus shareholders in the acquisition. Acquisitions and divestitures
could involve a number of other potential risks to our business, including the following, any of
which could harm our business:
|
|
|
Unanticipated costs and liabilities and unforeseen accounting charges; |
|
|
|
|
Delays and difficulties in delivery of products and services; |
|
|
|
|
Failure to effectively integrate or separate management information systems, personnel,
research and development, marketing, sales and support operations; |
|
|
|
|
Loss of key employees; |
|
|
|
|
Economic dilution to gross and operating profit and earnings(loss) per share; |
|
|
|
|
Diversion of managements attention from other business concerns and disruption of our
ongoing business; |
|
|
|
|
Difficulty in maintaining controls and procedures; |
|
|
|
|
Uncertainty on the part of our existing customers, or the customers of an acquired
company, about our ability to operate effectively after a transaction, and the potential
loss of such customers; |
|
|
|
|
Damage to or loss of supply or partnership relationships; |
|
|
|
|
Declines in the revenue of the combined company; |
|
|
|
|
Failure to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of the acquisition or
divestiture; and |
|
|
|
|
Failure to successfully further develop the combined, acquired or remaining technology,
resulting in the impairment of amounts recorded as goodwill or other intangible assets. |
We may not achieve our strategic objectives, anticipated synergies and cost savings and other
expected benefits of our merger with Avanex, our acquisition of the high-power laser diodes
business of Newport or our acquisition of Xtellus.
We completed our merger with Avanex on April 27, 2009, our acquisition of the high-power laser
diodes business of Newport on July 4, 2009, and our acquisition of Xtellus on December 17, 2009.
We expect certain strategic and other financial and operating benefits as a result of these
transactions, including, certain cost and performance synergies. However, we cannot predict with
certainty which of these benefits, if any, will actually be achieved or the timing of any such
benefits.
The following factors, among others, may prevent us from realizing these benefits:
|
|
|
the inability to increase product sales; |
|
|
|
|
substantial demands on our management as a result of these transactions that may limit
their time to attend to other operational, financial, business and strategic issues; |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in: |
41
|
o |
|
the integration of operational, financial and administrative functions
and systems to permit effective management, and the lack of control if such
integration is not implemented or delayed; |
|
|
o |
|
demonstrating to our customers that the transactions will not result in
adverse changes in client service standards or business focus and helping our
customers conduct business easily with us; |
|
|
o |
|
consolidating and rationalizing corporate information technology,
engineering and administrative infrastructures; |
|
|
o |
|
integrating product offerings; |
|
|
o |
|
coordinating sales and marketing efforts to effectively communicate our capabilities; |
|
|
o |
|
coordinating and integrating the manufacturing activities of our acquired
businesses, including with respect to third-party manufacturers, and including the
establishment of Tucson laser diode related manufacturing processes in our European
facilities on a timely basis, or at all, and including executing a ramp of
production capacity in South Korea to support the potential revenue demand for the
WSS related products of Xtellus; |
|
|
o |
|
coordinating and integrating supply chains; |
|
|
o |
|
coordinating and rationalizing research and development activities to
enhance introduction of new products and technologies with reduced cost; |
|
|
o |
|
preserving important relationships of our acquired businesses and
resolving potential conflicts between business cultures; |
|
|
o |
|
coordinating the international activities of our acquired businesses; |
|
|
o |
|
unexpected liabilities associated with our acquired businesses or

Our integration with Avanex, the high-power laser diode business of Newport and Xtellus has been
and will continue to be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to successfully integrate these businesses in a timely manner, or at all, or that
any of the anticipated benefits or our acquisition of these businesses will be realized. Our
failure to achieve the strategic objectives of our merger with Avanex, our acquisition of the
high-power laser diodes business of Newport and our acquisition of Xtellus could have a material
adverse effect on our revenues, expenses and our other operating results and cash resources and
could result in us not achieving the anticipated potential benefits of these transactions. In
addition, we cannot assure you that the growth rate of the combined company will equal the
historical growth rate experienced by Bookham, Avanex, the high-power laser diodes business of
Newport, or Xtellus.
Sales of our products could decline if customer relationships are disrupted by our recent merger
and acquisition activities.
The customers of Bookham, Avanex, Xtellus and the high-power laser diode business of Newport may
not continue their current buying patterns. Any loss of design wins or significant delay or
reduction in orders for the telecom, the high-power laser diodes, or the optical modules and
components business products could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Customers may defer purchasing decisions as they evaluate the likelihood of successful
integration of our products and our future product strategy, or consider purchasing products of our
competitors.
Customers may also seek to modify or terminate existing agreements, or prospective customers may
delay entering into new agreements or purchasing our products or may decide not to purchase any
products from us. In addition, by increasing the breadth of our business, the transactions may make
it more difficult for us to enter into relationships, including customer relationships, with
strategic partners, some of whom may view us as a more direct competitor than either Bookham,
Avanex, Xtellus or the high-power laser diodes business of Newport as independent companies.

As a result of the recent business combinations, we have become a larger and more geographically
diverse organization, and if our management is unable to manage the combined organization
efficiently, our operating results will suffer.
As of April 3, 2010, we had approximately 2,819 employees in a total of 15 facilities around the
world. As a result, we face challenges inherent in efficiently managing an increased number of
employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems,
policies, benefits and compliance programs. Our inability to manage successfully the geographically
more diverse (including from a cultural perspective) and substantially larger combined organization
could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and, as a result, on the market price
of our common stock.
We may not successfully transfer the wafer production from the Tucson, Arizona manufacturing
operations we acquired from Newport to our European fabrication facilities and realize the
anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
Achieving the potential benefits of our July 4, 2009 acquisition from Newport of the laser diodes
manufacturing operations in Tucson, Arizona will depend in substantial part on the successful
transfer of those manufacturing operations to our European fabrication facilities. We will face
significant challenges in transferring these operations in a timely and efficient manner. Some of
the challenges involved in this transfer include:
transferring operations will place substantial demands on our management that may limit their
time to attend to other operational, financial and strategic issues;
it may take longer than anticipated to transfer wafer manufacturing operations from Tucson,
Arizona to our European fabs, the results may not deliver desired yields and costs savings and any
delay may cause us not to achieve expected synergies from leveraging our existing global
manufacturing infrastructure;
the costs of transferring manufacturing operations from Tucson, Arizona to our European fabs may
exceed our current estimates;
delays in qualifying production of the laser diodes in our European fabs could cause disruption
to our customers and have an adverse impact on our operating results;
we may experience difficulty in the integration of operational, financial and administrative
functions and systems to permit effective management, and may experience a lack of control if such
integration is not implemented or delayed; and
employment law or regulations or other limitations in foreign jurisdictions could have an impact
on timing, amounts or costs of achieving expected synergies.
Our products are complex and may take longer to develop than anticipated and we may not recognize
revenues from new products until after long field testing and customer acceptance periods.
Many of our new products must be tailored to customer specifications. As a result, we are
developing new products and using new technologies in those products. For example, while we
currently manufacture and sell discrete gold box technology, we expect that many of our sales of
gold box technology will soon be replaced by pluggable modules. New products or modifications to
existing products often take many quarters or even years to develop because of their complexity and
because customer specifications sometimes change during the development cycle. We often incur
substantial costs associated with the research and development and sales and marketing activities
in connection with products that may be purchased long after we have incurred the costs associated
with designing, creating and selling such products. In addition, due to the rapid technological
changes in our market, a customer may cancel or modify a design project before we begin large-scale
manufacture of the product and receive revenues from the customer. It is unlikely that we would be
able to recover the expenses for cancelled or unutilized design projects. It is difficult to
predict with any certainty, particularly in the present economic climate, the frequency with which
customers will cancel or modify their projects, or the effect that any cancellation or modification
would have on our results of operations.
As a result of our global operations, our business is subject to currency fluctuations that have
adversely affected our results of operations in recent quarters and may continue to do so in the
future.
Our financial results have been and will continue to be materially impacted by foreign currency
fluctuations. At certain times in our history, declines in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the
U.K. pound sterling have had a major negative effect on our margins and our cash flow. Despite our
change in domicile from the United Kingdom to the United States in 2004 and the
43
transfer of our assembly and test operations from Paignton, U.K. to Shenzhen, China, a
significant portion of our expenses are still denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and substantially
all of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between these two currencies and, to a lesser extent, other
currencies in which we collect revenues and/or pay expenses will continue to have a material effect
on our operating results. From the end of our fiscal year ended June 28, 2008 to the end of our
fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, the U.S. dollar appreciated 17 percent relative to the U.K. pound
sterling, which favorably impacted our operating results for fiscal year 2009. If the U.S dollar
stays the same or depreciates relative to the U.K. pound sterling in the future, our future
operating results may also be materially impacted. Additional exposure could also result should the
exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan, the South Korean won, the Israeli
shekel, the Swiss franc, the Thai baht or the Euro vary more significantly than they have to date.
We engage in currency hedging transactions in an effort to cover some of our exposure to U.S.
dollar to U.K. pound sterling currency fluctuations, and we may be required to convert currencies
to meet our obligations. Under certain circumstances, these transactions could have an adverse
effect on our financial condition.
We have significant manufacturing operations in China, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing
business in China.
We have transferred substantially all of pre-Avanex merger assembly and test operations,
chip-on-carrier operations and manufacturing and supply chain management operations to our facility
in Shenzhen, China, and have also transferred certain iterative research and development related
activities from the U.K. to Shenzhen, China. The substantial portions of our in-house assembly and
test and related manufacturing operations are now concentrated in our single facility in China. To
be successful in China we will need to:
|
|
|
qualify our manufacturing lines and the products we produce in Shenzhen, as required by
our customers; |
|
|
|
|
attract qualified personnel to operate our Shenzhen facility; and |
|
|
|
|
retain employees at our Shenzhen facility. |
We cannot assure you that we will be able to do any of these.
Employee turnover in China is high due to the intensely competitive and fluid market for skilled
labor. To operate our Shenzhen facility under these conditions, we will need to continue to hire
direct manufacturing personnel, administrative personnel and technical personnel; obtain and retain
required legal authorization to hire such personnel and incur the time and expense to hire and
train such personnel. We are currently seeing a return of customer demand which had decreased as a
result of adverse economic conditions in the preceding 18 to 24 months. Our ability to respond to
this demand will, among other things, be a function of our ability to attract, train and retain
skilled labor in China.
Operations in China are subject to greater political, legal and economic risks than our operations
in other countries. In particular, the political, legal and economic climate in China, both
nationally and regionally, is fluid and unpredictable. Our ability to operate in China may be
adversely affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations such as those related to, among other
things, taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights,
intellectual property, employee benefits and other matters. In addition, we may not obtain or
retain the requisite legal permits to continue to operate in China, and costs or operational
limitations may be imposed in connection with obtaining and complying with such permits.
We have, in the past, been advised that power may be rationed in the location of our Shenzhen
facility, and were power rationing to be implemented, it could have an adverse impact on our
ability to complete manufacturing commitments on a timely basis or, alternatively, could require
significant investment in generating capacity to sustain uninterrupted operations at the facility,
which we may not be able to do successfully.
We intend to continue to export the majority of the products manufactured at our Shenzhen facility.
Under current regulations, upon application and approval by the relevant governmental authorities,
we will not be subject to certain Chinese taxes and will be exempt from certain duties on imported
materials that are used in the manufacturing process and subsequently exported from China as
finished products. However, Chinese trade regulations are in a state of flux, and we may become
subject to other forms of taxation and duties in China or may be required to pay export fees in the
future. In the event that we become subject to new forms of taxation or export fees in China, our
business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We may also be required
to expend greater amounts than we currently anticipate in
44
connection with increasing production at our Shenzhen facility. Any one of the factors cited above,
or a combination of them, could result in unanticipated costs or interruptions in production, which
could materially and adversely affect our business.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers who could disrupt our business if they stopped,
decreased, delayed or were unable to meet our demand for shipments of their products.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers of raw materials and equipment used to manufacture our
products. We also depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers to manufacture certain of
our products, principally Fabrinet in Thailand. Some of these suppliers are sole sources. We
typically have not entered into long-term agreements with our suppliers other than Fabrinet and,
therefore, these suppliers generally may stop supplying us materials and equipment at any time. Our
reliance on a sole supplier or limited number of suppliers could result in delivery problems,
reduced control over product pricing and quality, and an inability to identify and qualify another
supplier in a timely manner. Given the recent macroeconomic downturn, some of our suppliers that
may be small or undercapitalized may experience financial difficulties that could prevent them from
supplying us materials and equipment.
Any supply deficiencies relating to the quality or quantities of materials or equipment we use to
manufacture our products could materially adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders
and our results of operations. As customer demand has recently increased in our markets, and in
adjacent markets, lead times for the purchase of certain materials and equipment from suppliers
required to meet this demand have increased and in some cases have limited our ability to rapidly
respond to increased demand, and may continue to do so in the future. These conditions have been
exacerbated by suppliers, customers and companies such as ourselves reducing their inventory levels
in response to the economic conditions described above.
In addition, Fabrinets manufacturing operations are located in Thailand. Thailand has been subject
to political unrest in the recent past, including the temporary interruption of service at one of
its international airports, and may again experience such political unrest in the future. If
Fabrinet is unable to supply us with materials or equipment, or if they are unable to ship our
materials or equipment out of Thailand due to political unrest, this could materially adversely
affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and our results of operations.
Fluctuations in our operating results could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
Our revenues and other operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. The
timing of order placement, size of orders and satisfaction of contractual customer acceptance
criteria, as well as order or shipment delays or deferrals, with respect to our products, may cause
material fluctuations in revenues. Our lengthy sales cycle, which may extend to more than one year
for our telecom products, may cause our revenues and operating results to vary from period to
period and it may be difficult to predict the timing and amount of any variation. Delays or
deferrals in purchasing decisions by our customers may increase as we develop new or enhanced
products for new markets, including data communications, industrial, research, military, consumer
and biotechnology markets. Our current and anticipated future dependence on a small number of
customers increases the revenue impact of each such customers decision to delay or defer purchases
from us, or decision not to purchase products from us. Our expense levels in the future will be
based, in large part, on our expectations regarding future revenue sources and, as a result,
operating results for any quarterly period in which material orders fail to occur, or are delayed
or deferred could vary significantly.
Because of these and other factors, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may
not be indicative of our future performance. In future periods, our results of operations may
differ, in some cases materially, from the estimates of public market analysts and investors. Such
a discrepancy, or our failure to meet published financial projections, could cause the market price
of our common stock to decline and you to lose all or part of your investment.
The investment of our cash balances and our investments in marketable debt securities are subject
to risks which may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments.
At April 3, 2010, we had $55.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, including
$4.3 million in restricted cash. We have historically invested these amounts in U.S. Treasury
securities and U.S. government agency securities, corporate debt, money market funds, commercial
paper and municipal bonds. Certain of these investments are subject to general credit, liquidity,
market and interest rate risks. In September 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., or Lehman, filed
a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the quarter ended January 2, 2010, we
sold a Lehman security with a par value of $0.8 million for $0.1 million. We recorded the
impairment charges for the Lehman security of $0.7 in fiscal year 2009 in other expense in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations.
45
We may in the future experience declines in the value of our short-term investments, which we may
determine to be other-than-temporary. These market risks associated with our investment portfolio
may have a negative adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
We may record additional impairment charges that will adversely impact our results of operations.
We review our goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable,
and also review goodwill annually in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other.
During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, we determined that the goodwill related to our New
Focus and Avalon reporting units was fully impaired. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible
assets for fiscal year 2009, net of $2.8 million associated with the discontinued operations of the
New Focus business, amounted to $9.1 million.
In the nine months ended April 3, 2010, we recorded goodwill of $25.2 million and other intangible
assets of $7.8 million primarily in connection with our acquisitions of the Newport high-power
laser diodes business and Xtellus. In the event that we determine in a future period that
impairment of our goodwill, intangible assets or long-lived assets exists for any reason, we would
record additional impairment charges in the period such determination is made, which would
adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.
We may incur additional significant restructuring charges that will adversely affect our results of
operations.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, in connection with our merger with Avanex, we accrued an
aggregate of approximately $5.4 million in restructuring charges, and we anticipate an additional
$2.2 million to $2.5 million in merger related restructuring charges in fiscal year 2010. On July
4, 2009, we completed the exchange of our New Focus business to Newport for Newports Tucson wafer
fabrication facility and we expect to incur between $0.6 million to $0.9 million in restructuring
expenses in fiscal year 2010 in connection with the transfer of the Tucson manufacturing operations
to our European facilities, an activity with inherent risk as to ability to execute and timing to
completion.
Over the past eight years, we have enacted a series of restructuring plans and cost reduction plans
designed to reduce our manufacturing overhead and our operating expenses. For example, on January
31, 2007, we adopted an overhead cost reduction plan which included workforce reductions and
facility and site consolidation of our Caswell, U.K. semiconductor operations. Such charges have
adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our results of operations for the
periods in which such charges have been, or will be, incurred. Additionally, actual costs have in
the past, and may in the future, exceed the amounts estimated and provided for in our financial
statements. Significant additional charges could materially and adversely affect our results of
operations in the periods that they are incurred and recognized.
Our results of operations may suffer if we do not effectively manage our inventory, and we may
incur inventory-related charges.
We need to manage our inventory of component parts and finished goods effectively to meet changing
customer requirements. Accurately forecasting customers product needs is difficult. Some of our
products and supplies have in the past, and may in the future, become obsolete while in inventory
due to rapidly changing customer specifications or a decrease in customer demand. Largely as a
result of our merger with Avanex, we also have exposure to contractual liabilities to our contract
manufacturers for inventories purchased by them on our behalf, based on our forecasted
requirements, which may become excess or obsolete. If we are not able to manage our inventory
effectively, we may need to write down the value of some of our existing inventory or write off
non-saleable or obsolete inventory, which would adversely affect our results of operations. We have
from time to time incurred significant inventory-related charges. Any such charges we incur in
future periods could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Oclaro Technology plc may not be able to utilize tax losses and other tax attributes against
the receivables that arise as a result of its transaction with Deutsche Bank.
On August 10, 2005, Oclaro Technology plc purchased all of the issued share capital of City
Leasing (Creekside) Limited (Creekside), a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank. We entered into this
transaction primarily for the business purpose of raising money to fund our operations by realizing
the economic value of certain of the deferred tax assets of Oclaro Technology plc from the
third-party described more fully below. In compliance with U.K. tax law, the transaction was
structured to enable certain U.K. tax losses in Oclaro Technology plc to be surrendered in order to
reduce U.K. taxes otherwise due on sub-lease revenue payable to Creekside. Creekside was entitled
to receivables of £73.8 million (approximately $135.8 million, based on an exchange rate of $1.84
to £1.00 on September 2, 2005) from Deutsche Bank in connection with certain aircraft subleases and
these payments have been applied over a two-year term to obligations of £73.1 million
(approximately $134.5 million,
46
based on an exchange rate of $1.84 to £1.00 on September 2, 2005) owed to Deutsche Bank. As a
result of the completion of these transactions, Oclaro Technology plc has had available through
Creekside cash of approximately £6.63 million (approximately $12.2 million, based on an exchange
rate of $1.84 to £1.00 on September 2, 2005). We expect Oclaro Technology plc to utilize certain
expected tax losses and other tax attributes to reduce the taxes that might otherwise be due by
Creekside as the receivables are paid. In the event that Oclaro Technology plc is not able to
utilize these tax losses and other tax attributes when U.K. tax returns are filed for the relevant
periods (or these tax losses and other tax attributes do not arise or are successfully challenged
by U.K. tax regulators), Creekside may have to pay taxes, reducing the cash available from
Creekside. In the event there is a future change in applicable U.K. tax law, Creekside and in turn
Oclaro Technology plc, would be responsible for any resulting tax liabilities, which amounts could
be material to our financial condition or operating results.
If our customers do not qualify our manufacturing lines or the manufacturing lines of our
subcontractors for volume shipments, our operating results could suffer.
Most of our customers do not purchase products, other than limited numbers of evaluation units,
prior to qualification of the manufacturing line for volume production. Our existing manufacturing
lines, as well as each new manufacturing line, must pass through varying levels of qualification
with our customers. Our manufacturing lines have passed our qualification standards, as well as our
technical standards. However, our customers also require that our manufacturing lines pass their
specific qualification standards and that we, and any subcontractors that we may use, be registered
under international quality standards. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future,
encounter quality control issues as a result of relocating our manufacturing lines or introducing
new products to fill production. We may be unable to obtain customer qualification of our
manufacturing lines or we may experience delays in obtaining customer qualification of our
manufacturing lines. Such delays or failure to obtain qualifications would harm our operating
results and customer relationships.
Delays, disruptions or quality control problems in manufacturing could result in delays in product
shipments to customers and could adversely affect our business.
We may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations
or the manufacturing operations of our subcontractors. As a result, we could incur additional costs
that would adversely affect our gross margins, and our product shipments to our customers could be
delayed beyond the shipment schedules requested by our customers, which would negatively affect our
revenues, competitive position and reputation. Furthermore, even if we are able to deliver products
to our customers on a timely basis, we may be unable to recognize revenues at the time of delivery
based on our revenue recognition policies.
We may experience low manufacturing yields.
Manufacturing yields depend on a number of factors, including the volume of production due to
customer demand and the nature and extent of changes in specifications required by customers for
which we perform design-in work. Higher volumes due to demand for a fixed, rather than continually
changing, design generally results in higher manufacturing yields, whereas lower volume production
generally results in lower yields. In addition, lower yields may result, and have in the past
resulted, from commercial shipments of products prior to full manufacturing qualification to the
applicable specifications. Changes in manufacturing processes required as a result of changes in
product specifications, changing customer needs and the introduction of new product lines have
historically caused, and may in the future cause, significantly reduced manufacturing yields,
resulting in low or negative margins on those products. Moreover, an increase in the rejection rate
of products during the quality control process, before, during or after manufacture, results in
lower yields and margins. Finally, manufacturing yields and margins can also be lower if we receive
or inadvertently use defective or contaminated materials from our suppliers. Any reduction in our
manufacturing yields will adversely affect our gross margins and could have a material impact on
our operating results.
Our intellectual property rights may not be adequately protected.
Our future success will depend, in large part, upon our intellectual property rights, including
patents, copyrights, design rights, trade secrets, trademarks, know-how and continuing
technological innovation. We maintain an active program of identifying technology appropriate for
patent protection. Our practice is to require employees and consultants to execute non-disclosure
and proprietary rights agreements upon commencement of employment or consulting arrangements. These
agreements acknowledge our exclusive ownership of all intellectual property developed by the
individuals during their work for us and require that all proprietary information disclosed will
remain confidential. Although such agreements may be binding, they may not be enforceable in full
or in part in all jurisdictions and any breach of a confidentiality obligation could have a very
serious effect on our business and our remedy for such breach may be limited.
47
Our intellectual property portfolio is an important corporate asset. The steps we have taken and
may take in the future to protect our intellectual property may not adequately prevent
misappropriation or ensure that others will not develop competitive technologies or products. We
cannot assure you that our competitors will not successfully challenge the validity of our patents
or design products that avoid infringement of our proprietary rights with respect to our
technology. There can be no assurance that other companies are not investigating or developing
other similar technologies, that any patents will be issued from any application pending or filed
by us or that, if patents are issued, that the claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to deter
or prohibit others from marketing similar products. In addition, we cannot assure you that any
patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights under
those patents will provide a competitive advantage to us or that our products and technology will
be adequately covered by our patents and other intellectual property. Further, the laws of certain
regions in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, including
Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia and Latin America, may not be enforced to protect our products and
intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, the U.K. and
continental European countries. This is especially relevant now that we have transferred certain
advanced photonics solution manufacturing activities from our San Jose, California facility to
Shenzhen, China and transferred all of our assembly and test operations and chip-on-carrier
operations, including certain engineering-related functions, from our facilities in the U.K. to
Shenzhen, China. Also relevant is that our competitors and new Chinese companies are establishing
manufacturing operations in China to take advantage of comparatively low manufacturing costs.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others which could result in
expensive litigation or require us to obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or
we may be prohibited from selling certain products in the future.
Companies in the industry in which we operate frequently are sued or receive informal claims of
patent infringement or infringement of other intellectual property rights. We have, from time to
time, received such claims, including from competitors and from companies that have substantially
more resources than us.
For example, on March 4, 2008, we filed a declaratory judgment complaint captioned Bookham, Inc. v.
JDS Uniphase Corp. and Agility Communications, Inc., Civil Action No. 5:08-CV-01275-RMW, in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division. Our
complaint sought declaratory judgments that its tunable laser products do not infringe any valid,
enforceable claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,658,035, 6,654,400 and 6,687,278, and that all claims of
the aforementioned patents are invalid and unenforceable. On April 10, 2009, we entered into a
license and settlement agreement with JDSU pursuant to which we and JDSU have settled all claims
between us.
In addition, on May 27, 2009, a patent infringement action captioned QinetiQ Limited v. Oclaro,
Inc., Civil Action No. 1:09-cv-00372, was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware. The action alleges that we infringed United States Patent Nos. 5,410,625 and
5,428,698 and seeks a permanent injunction against all of our products found to infringe those
patents, unspecified damages, costs, attorneys fees and other expenses. On July 16, 2009, Oclaro
filed an answer to the complaint and stated counterclaims against QinetiQ Limited for judgments of
invalidity and unenforceability of the patents-in-suit and seeking costs, attorneys fees and other
expenses. On August 7, 2009, QinetiQ Limited requested that the District Court dismiss our
unenforceability counterclaims and strike two of our affirmative defenses. On August 24, 2009, we
filed our brief opposing QinetiQs request. QinetiQ Limited has since indicated to the Court that
it plans to withdraw that request. On August 14, 2009, we filed a Motion to Transfer Venue,
requesting that the action be transferred to the Northern District of California. On December 18,
2009, the District Court for the District of Delaware granted our Motion to Transfer Venue and
transferred the action to the Northern District of California. We believe that the claims asserted
against us by QinetiQ are without merit and we will continue to defend ourselves vigorously.
Third parties may in the future assert claims against us concerning our existing products or with
respect to future products under development. We have entered into and may in the future enter into
indemnification obligations in favor of some customers that could be triggered upon an allegation
or finding that we are infringing other parties proprietary rights. If we do infringe a
third-partys rights, we may need to negotiate with holders of those rights relevant to our
business. We have from time to time received notices from third parties alleging infringement of
their intellectual property and where appropriate have entered into license agreements with those
third parties with respect to that intellectual property. We may not in all cases be able to
resolve allegations of infringement through licensing arrangements, settlement, alternative designs
or otherwise. We may take legal action to determine the validity and scope of the third-party
rights or to defend against any allegations of infringement. The recent economic downturn could
result in holders of intellectual property rights becoming more aggressive in alleging infringement
of their intellectual property rights and we may be the subject of such claims asserted by a
third-party. In the course of pursuing any of these means or defending against any lawsuits filed
against us, we could incur significant costs and diversion of our resources and our managements
attention. Due to the competitive nature of
48
our industry, it is unlikely that we could increase our prices to cover such costs. In addition,
such claims could result in significant penalties or injunctions that could prevent us from selling
some of our products in certain markets or result in settlements that require payment of
significant royalties.
If we fail to obtain the right to use the intellectual property rights of others necessary to
operate our business, our ability to succeed will be adversely affected.
Certain companies in the telecommunications and optical components 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 academic institutions
and our competitors. Optical component suppliers may seek to gain a competitive advantage or other
third parties, inside or outside our market, may seek an economic return on their intellectual
property portfolios by making infringement claims against us. We currently in-license certain
intellectual property of third-parties, and in the future, we may need to obtain license rights to
patents or other intellectual property held by others to the extent necessary for our business.
Unless we are able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, patents or other
intellectual property held by others could be used to inhibit or prohibit our production and sale
of existing products and our development of new products for our markets. Licenses granting us the
right to use third-party technology may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all. Generally, a license, if granted, would include payments of up-front fees, ongoing royalties
or both. These payments or other terms could have a significant adverse impact on our operating
results. In addition, in the event we are granted such a license it is likely such license would be
non-exclusive and other parties, including competitors, may be able to utilize such technology. Our
larger competitors may be able to obtain licenses or cross-license their technology on better terms
than we can, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, our larger competitors
may be able to buy such technology and preclude us from licensing or using such technology.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, which could result in lost sales and lower
revenues.
The market for fiber optic components and modules is highly competitive and such competition could
result in our existing customers moving their orders to competitors. We are aware of a number of
companies that have developed or are developing optical component products, including tunable
lasers, pluggables, wavelength selective switches and thin film filter products, among others, that
compete directly with our current and proposed product offerings.
Certain of our competitors may be able to more quickly and effectively:
|
|
|
develop or respond to new technologies or technical standards; |
|
|
|
|
react to changing customer requirements and expectations; |
|
|
|
|
devote needed resources to the development, production, promotion and sale of products;
and |
|
|
|
|
deliver competitive products at lower prices. |
Some of our current competitors, as well as some of our potential competitors, have longer
operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry
alliances and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. In
addition, market leaders in industries such as semiconductor and data communications, who may also
have significantly more resources than we do, may in the future enter our market with competing
products. All of these risks may be increased if the market were to further consolidate through
mergers or other business combinations between competitors.
We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors and aggressive competition in the
market may result in lower prices for our products and/or decreased gross margins. Any such
development could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
We generate a significant portion of our revenues internationally and therefore are subject to
additional risks associated with the extent of our international operations.
For the nine months ended April 3, 2010, years ended June 27, 2009, June 28, 2008 and June 30,
2007, 19 percent, 20 percent, 18 percent and 15 percent of our revenues, respectively, were derived
from sales to customers located in the United States and 81 percent, 80 percent, 82 percent and 85
percent of our revenues, respectively, were derived from sales to customers located outside the
United States. We are subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries,
including:
49
|
|
|
currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced
revenues; |
|
|
|
|
greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection and longer collection periods; |
|
|
|
|
difficulty in enforcing or adequately protecting our intellectual property; |
|
|
|
|
ability to hire qualified candidates; |
|
|
|
|
foreign taxes; |
|
|
|
|
political, legal and economic instability in foreign markets; and |
|
|
|
|
foreign regulations. |
Any of these risks, or any other risks related to our foreign operations, could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may face product liability claims.
Despite quality assurance measures, defects may occur in our products. The occurrence of any
defects in our products could give rise to liability for damages caused by such defects, including
consequential damages. Such defects could, moreover, impair market acceptance of our products. Both
could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, we may
assume product warranty liabilities related to companies we acquire, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In order to mitigate the risk of liability
for damages, we carry product liability insurance with a $25.0 million aggregate annual limit and
errors and omissions insurance with a $5.0 million annual limit. We cannot assure you that this
insurance would adequately cover any or a portion of our costs arising from any defects in our
products or otherwise.
If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business could suffer.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel.
Competition for highly skilled technical people is extremely intense and we continue to face
difficulty identifying and hiring qualified engineers in many areas of our business. We may not be
able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing
compensation and salary structure. Our future success also depends on the continued contributions
of our executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, each of whom
would be difficult to replace. The loss of services of these or other executive officers or key
personnel or the inability to continue to attract qualified personnel could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
Similar to other technology companies, we rely upon stock options and other forms of equity-based
compensation as key components of our executive and employee compensation structure. Historically,
these components have been critical to our ability to retain important personnel and offer
competitive compensation packages. The retention value of our equity incentives has declined
significantly as our stock price has declined, causing many of our options to be under water. On
December 2, 2009, we completed an option exchange program, under which certain of our key employees
exchanged significantly under water options for a lesser number of options that were priced with an
exercise price of $6.80 per share ($1.36 per share pre-split), which was the closing price of our
common stock on December 2, 2009, the last day of the offer period. Without these components, we
would be required to significantly increase cash compensation levels (or develop alternative
compensation structures) in order to retain our key employees. Accounting rules relating to the
expensing of equity compensation may cause us to substantially reduce, modify, or even eliminate,
all or portions of our equity compensation programs which may, in turn, prevent us from retaining
or hiring qualified employees and declines in our stock price could reduce or eliminate the
retentive effects of our equity compensation programs.
In addition, none of the former Avanex, Newport, and Xtellus employees now employed by us are
subject to employment contracts and may decide to no longer work for us with little or no notice
for a number of reasons, including dissatisfaction with our corporate culture, compensation, and
new roles or responsibilities, among others.
We may not be able to raise capital when desired on favorable terms, or at all, or without dilution
to our stockholders.
The rapidly changing industry in which we operate, the length of time between developing and
introducing a product to market and frequent changing customer specifications for products, among
other things, makes our prospects difficult to
50
evaluate. It is possible that we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or be able
to draw down on the $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo
Foothill, Inc. and other lenders, or otherwise have sufficient capital resources to meet our future
capital needs. If this occurs, we may need additional financing to execute on our current or future
business strategies.
If we raise funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or convertible debt securities, our
stockholders may be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of securities held by existing stockholders. If we raise
funds through the issuance of debt instruments, the agreements governing such debt instruments may
contain covenant restrictions that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional
debt, assume obligations in connection with letters of credit, or issue guarantees; (ii) create
liens; (iii) make certain investments or acquisitions; (iv) enter into transactions with our
affiliates; (v) sell certain assets; (vi) redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments;
(vii) declare or pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders; and (viii) merge or
consolidate with any entity. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on
terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on
acceptable terms, if and when needed, our ability to fund our operations, develop or enhance our
products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and operate effectively could be
significantly limited.
Risks Related to Regulatory Compliance and Litigation
Our business involves the use of hazardous materials, and we are subject to environmental and
import/export laws and regulations that may expose us to liability and increase our costs.
We historically handled hazardous materials as part of our manufacturing activities. Consequently,
our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, the
use and handling of hazardous substances and waste disposal. This also includes the operations in
our Tucson fab, which we acquired from Newport in July 2009. We do not own the Tucson facility, and
are not a direct party to the lease for the facility, but we do own the manufacturing equipment,
which involves the use and handling of hazardous substances and waste disposal. We may incur costs
to comply with current or future environmental laws. As with other companies engaged in
manufacturing activities that involve hazardous materials, a risk of environmental liability is
inherent in our manufacturing activities, as is the risk that our facilities will be shut down in
the event of a release of hazardous waste, or that we would be subject to extensive monetary
liability. The costs associated with environmental compliance or remediation efforts or other
environmental liabilities could adversely affect our business. Under applicable EU regulations, we,
along with other electronics component manufacturers, are prohibited from using lead and certain
other hazardous materials in our products. We could lose business or face product returns if we
fail to maintain these requirements properly.
In addition, the sale and manufacture of certain of our products require on-going compliance with
governmental security and import/export regulations. We may, in the future, be subject to
investigation which may result in fines for violations of security and import/export regulations.
Furthermore, any disruptions of our product shipments in the future, including disruptions as a
result of efforts to comply with governmental regulations, could adversely affect our revenues,
gross margins and results of operations.
Avanex previously experienced material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial
reporting. A lack of effective internal control over our financial reporting could result in an
inability to report our financial results accurately, which could lead to a loss of investor
confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Effective internal controls over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable
financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business
and operating results could be harmed. Avanex has in the past discovered, and we may in the future
discover, deficiencies, including those considered to be indicative of material weaknesses, in our
internal control over financial reporting.
51
Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could
result in a material misstatement of our financial statements or otherwise cause us to fail to meet
our financial reporting obligations. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence
in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on
the our business, financial condition, operating results and our stock price, and we could be
subject to stockholder litigation. Even if we are able to implement and maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting, the costs of doing may increase and our management may
be required to dedicate greater time and resources to that effort.
Litigation regarding, among other things, Bookham Technology plcs and New Focus initial public
offering and follow-on offerings and any other litigation in which we become involved, including as
a result of acquisitions or the arrangements we have with suppliers and customers, may
substantially increase our costs and harm our business.
On June 26, 2001, the first of a number of securities class actions was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York against New Focus, Inc., now known as Oclaro
Photonics, Inc. (New Focus), certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters for
New Focus initial and secondary public offerings. A consolidated amended class action complaint,
captioned In re New Focus, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, No. 01 Civ. 5822,
was filed on April 20, 2002. The complaint generally alleges that various underwriters engaged in
improper and undisclosed activities related to the allocation of shares in New Focus initial
public offering and seeks unspecified damages for claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of a
purported class of purchasers of common stock from May 17, 2000 to December 6, 2000.
The lawsuit against New Focus is coordinated for pretrial proceedings with a number of other
pending litigations challenging underwriter practices in over 300 cases, as In re Initial Public
Offering Securities Litigation, 21 MC 92 (SAS), including actions against Bookham Technology plc,
now known as Oclaro Technology plc (Bookham Technology) and Avanex Corporation, now known as Oclaro
(North America), Inc. (Avanex), and certain of each entitys respective officers and directors, and
certain of the underwriters of their public offerings. In October 2002, the claims against the
directors and officers of New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex were dismissed, without
prejudice, subject to the directors and officers execution of tolling agreements.
In 2007, a settlement between certain parties in the litigation that had been pending with the
Court since 2004 was terminated by stipulation of the parties to the settlement, after a ruling by
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in six focus cases in the coordinated proceeding (the actions
involving Bookham Technology, New Focus and Avanex are not focus cases) made it unlikely that the
settlement would receive final court approval. Plaintiffs filed amended master allegations and
amended complaints in the six focus cases. In 2008, the Court largely denied the focus case
defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaints.
The parties have reached a global settlement of the litigation. On October 5, 2009, the Court
entered an order certifying a settlement class and granting final approval of the settlement. Under
the settlement, the insurers will pay the full amount of the settlement share allocated to New
Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, and New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex will bear no
financial liability. New Focus, Bookham Technology and Avanex, as well as the officer and director
defendants who were previously dismissed from the action pursuant to tolling agreements, will
receive complete dismissals from the case. Certain objectors have appealed the Courts October 5,
2009 order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals certifying the settlement class. If for any
reason the settlement does not become effective, we believe that Bookham Technology, New Focus and
Avanex have meritorious defenses to the claims and therefore believe that such claims will not have
a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 13, 2009, Bijan Badihian filed a complaint against Avanex Corporation, its then-CEO
Giovanni Barbarossa, then interim CFO Mark Weinswig and an administrative assistant (who has since
been dismissed from the action), in the Superior Court for the State of California, Los Angeles
County. On June 8, 2009, after defendants filed a demurrer, plaintiff filed a First Amended
Complaint adding as defendants Oclaro, Inc. as successor to Avanex, and Paul Smith, who was
Chairman of the Avanex Board of Directors. On April 28, 2010 Badihian filed a Second Amended
Complaint, which names Avanex, Oclaro (as successor in interest), Greg Dougherty, Joel Smith III,
Paul Smith, Barbarossa, and Weinswig. Messrs. Barbarossa, Dougherty and Smith III are current
members of Oclaros Board of Directors. The Second Amended Complaint alleges that defendants
failed to disclose material facts regarding Avanexs operational performance and future prospects,
or engaged in conduct which negatively impacted those future prospects. The Second Amended
Complaint alleges causes of action for (1) breach of fiduciary duty; (2) intentional
misrepresentation; (3) negligent misrepresentation; (4) concealment; (5) constructive fraud; (6)
intentional infliction of emotional distress; and (7) negligent infliction of emotional distress.
The Second Amended Complaint seeks at least $5 million in compensatory damages plus prejudgment
interest, unspecified damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and costs. The parties are
currently engaged in discovery. The Superior
Court has set a trial date of January 18, 2011.
52
In addition, we are party to certain intellectual property infringement litigation as more fully
described above under Risks Related to Our Business Our products may infringe the
intellectual property rights of others which could result in expensive litigation or require us to
obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling
certain products in the future.
Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters
that may arise from time to time could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. Any litigation to which we are subject may be costly and,
further, could require significant involvement of our senior management and may divert managements
attention from our business and operations.
Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our charter, by-laws and under Delaware law could hinder
business combinations with third parties.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware prohibiting, under some circumstances, publicly-held Delaware corporations from engaging
in business combinations with some stockholders for a specified period of time without the approval
of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding voting stock. Our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws contain provisions relating to the limitations of liability and
indemnification of our directors and officers, dividing our board of directors into three classes
of directors serving staggered three year terms and providing that our stockholders can take action
only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders. In addition, our certificate of
incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 1,000,000 shares (5,000,000 shares pre-split) of
preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by our board
of directors. All of these provisions could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and
could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, even if such events
could be beneficial, in the short-term, to the interests of the stockholders. In addition, such
provisions could limit the price that some investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of our common stock. These provisions also may have the effect of deterring hostile
takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
A variety of factors could cause the trading price of our common stock to be volatile or to decline
and we may incur significant costs from class action litigation due to our expected stock
volatility.
The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile.
Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall. In addition to the
matters discussed in other risk factors included herein, some of the reasons for the fluctuations
in our stock price are:
|
|
|
fluctuations in our results of operations; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our business, operations or prospects; |
|
|
|
|
hiring or departure of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
new contractual relationships with key suppliers or customers by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
proposed acquisitions by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
financial results that fail to meet public market analysts expectations and changes in
stock market analysts recommendations regarding us, other optical technology companies or
the telecommunication industry in general; |
|
|
|
|
future sales of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common
stock; |
|
|
|
|
adverse judgments or settlements obligating us to pay damages; |
|
|
|
|
future issuances of common stock in connection with acquisitions or other transactions; |
|
|
|
|
acts of war, terrorism, or natural disasters;
|
53
|
|
|
industry, domestic and international market and economic conditions, including the global
macroeconomic downturn over the last 18 to 24 months; |
|
|
|
|
low trading volume in our stock; |
|
|
|
|
developments relating to patents or property rights; and |
|
|
|
|
government regulatory changes. |
In connection with our acquisition of Xtellus in December 2009, approximately 3.7 million of the
shares of our common stock that we issued to Xtellus stockholders are subject to sale, transfer and
other disposition restrictions. The restrictions lapse on half of such shares six months after the
closing date of the transaction and on the remainder of such shares 12 months after the closing
date of the transaction. The sale of these shares after the restrictions lapse could negatively
impact our stock price.
Since Oclaro Technology plcs initial public offering in April 2000, Oclaro Technology plcs
American Depository Shares (ADSs) and ordinary shares, our shares of common stock and the shares of
our customers and competitors have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations, in many
cases without any direct relationship to the affected companys operating performance. An outgrowth
of this market volatility is the significant vulnerability of our stock price and the stock prices
of our customers and competitors to any actual or perceived fluctuation in the strength of the
markets we serve, regardless of the actual consequence of such fluctuations. As a result, the
market prices for stock in these companies are highly volatile. These broad market and industry
factors caused the market price of Oclaro Technology plcs ADSs, ordinary shares, and our common
stock to fluctuate, and may in the future cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate,
regardless of our actual operating performance or the operating performance of our customers.
When the market price of a stock has been volatile, as our stock price may be, holders of that
stock have occasionally brought securities class action litigation against the company that issued
the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit of this type against us, even if the
lawsuit were without merit, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. The lawsuit
could also divert the time and attention of our management. In addition, if the suit were resolved
in a manner adverse to us, the damages we could be required to pay may be substantial and would
have an adverse impact on our ability to operate our business.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our
common stock only if it appreciates in value.
We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that we will retain
any future earnings to support operations and to finance the development of our business and do not
expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment
in our common stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no
guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which
stockholders have purchased their shares.
We can issue shares of preferred stock that may adversely affect your rights as a stockholder of
our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 1,000,000 shares (5,000,000 shares
pre-split) of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from
time-to-time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without
stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or
other rights superior to those of holders of our common stock. For example, an issuance of shares
of preferred stock could:
|
|
|
adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
make it more difficult for a third-party to gain control of us; |
|
|
|
|
discourage bids for our common stock at a premium; |
|
|
|
|
limit or eliminate any payments that the holders of our common stock could expect to
receive upon our liquidation; or |
|
|
|
|
otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock. |
54
We may in the future issue additional shares of authorized preferred stock at any time.
Delaware law, our charter documents and our stockholder rights plan contain provisions that could
discourage or prevent a potential takeover, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to our
stockholders.
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware
law, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider
favorable. These include provisions:
|
|
authorizing the board of directors to issue additional preferred stock; |
|
|
|
prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors; |
|
|
|
limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders; |
|
|
|
prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent; |
|
|
|
creating a classified board of directors pursuant to which our directors are elected for
staggered three-year terms; |
|
|
|
permitting the board of directors to increase the size of the board and to fill vacancies; |
|
|
|
requiring a super-majority vote of our stockholders to amend our bylaws and certain
provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and |
|
|
|
establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of
directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings. |
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which limit
the right of a corporation to engage in a business combination with a holder of 15% or more of the
corporations outstanding voting securities, or certain affiliated persons.
Although we believe that these charter and bylaw provisions, provisions of Delaware law and our
stockholder rights plan provide an opportunity for the board to assure that our stockholders
realize full value for their investment, they could have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change of control, even under circumstances that some stockholders may consider beneficial.
