AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO TENDER OFFER STATEMENT
 
This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 5, 2006, in connection with a two-step going-private transaction (the “Transaction”) proposed by the Board of Directors of DiCon Fiberoptics, Inc. (“DiCon” or the “Company”), consisting of (1) a 1-for-5 reverse split of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Split”) intended to increase the number of shareholders holding less than 100 shares of the Company’s stock (“Odd-lot Shareholders”) and cashout resulting fractional shares at the rate of $5.00 per whole share, and, thereafter, (2) a tender offer made by the Company to purchase from its shareholders up to 30,900 shares (on a post-Stock Split basis) at purchase price of $5.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. This Amendment No. 2 is the final amendment to the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO. This tender offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 16, 2006 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the "Offer". Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respecting meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
 
Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO.
 
As of 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, December 15, 2006, the Transfer Agent for the Company reported that more than 30,900 shares of Common Stock had been validly tendered pursuant in the Offer and not then withdrawn. The Transfer Agent also reported to the Company that the proration factor for the Offer is 40.76%.

On December 18, 2006, the Company delivered a notice to the Transfer Agent accepting 30,875 of the tendered shares of Common Stock, including all "odd lots" validly tendered and not withdrawn. As a result of the acceptance of shares tendered in the Offer, as of the date of this Amendment No. 2, the number of the Company's record holders of Common Stock is below 300. Accordingly, the Company will promptly file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission terminating its registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
