PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As previously announced and as described in the current report on Form 8-K of Finisar Corporation (the “Company”) filed on November 30, 2006, the Company has engaged in a voluntary review of stock option grants made since the Company’s initial public offering on November 11, 1999. The review was initiated by senior management, and a further investigation has been conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The initial findings of the Audit Committee’s investigation were described in a press release filed by the Company with a Form 8-K report on June 12, 2007. Based on the results of its investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the measurement dates for certain stock option grants differed from the recorded grant dates for such awards and that the Company will need to restate its historical financial statements to record non-cash charges for compensation expense relating to these past stock option grants and the tax impact related to such adjustments. The Company’s management, in conjunction with the Audit Committee, is in the process of finalizing revised measurement dates, determining the amount of the non-cash charges for compensation expenses, the resulting tax impact (which may result in additional cash tax liabilities), and the accounting impact on its financial statements for each fiscal period going back to fiscal 2000. The Company intends to complete its assessment and announce the results at the earliest practicable date. Although the amounts of the charges have not been determined at this time, such charges will likely be material with respect to prior fiscal periods from 2000 through 2007.

Until the Company completes its assessment, it will be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. The Company intends to file its Form 10-K Report as soon as practical following the completion of its assessment of the accounting impact on its financial statements, but will not be in a position to make such filing by the fifteenth calendar day following the required filing date, as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.
