Dear C-COR Shareholders:

The global communications market is continuing its dynamic transition to fully digital, IP (Internet Protocol)-enabled networks delivering entertainment, information, telephony, and advertising to increasingly independent consumers. Broadband network operators are responding to this on demand, competitive world by offering video on demand, high definition television, high speed Internet, voice over IP, and much more to those growing accustomed to controlling when, where, and how they meet their personal communication needs.

In fiscal year 2006, C-COR advanced its collaborative position with customers, playing a key role in helping network operators address a myriad of challenges associated with managing their network transition. We realigned our corporate structure, unified our solutions, consolidated our manufacturing, and prioritized our offerings while addressing our customers’ need to cost-effectively expand network capacity, deploy on demand content, and manage increasingly complex service delivery.

C-COR consistently responds to customers by providing solutions that meet current and future needs for reliable delivery of an increasing number of advanced services over existing networks. Network operators face many challenges as they address both network capacity and service complexity requirements. C-COR offers a new and unique unified video delivery system, which allows dynamic switching (switched digital video) of significantly more video channels, maximizing available bandwidth on the network. We have provided another means of expanding network capacity with our industry-leading, end-to-end portfolio of one Gigahertz infrastructure products. Addressing the growing need to support increasingly complex networks, customers are using C-COR’s trio of bandwidth, service, and workforce management systems in over 100 markets. In both the U.S. and Europe, we are supporting various Internet Protocol television (IPTV) video on demand and digital advertising deployments. As a global technology leader, C-COR works closely with customers by hosting an annual forum to address future industry challenges, and this year our Global IP Summit was held in Athens, Greece. Throughout the year, technical experts from C-COR share their expertise and experiences by chairing conferences and panels, and participating in numerous industry venues designed for exchange of next generation technology.

Whether cultivating long-standing customer relationships or helping develop our solid base of talented, innovative employees, C-COR recognizes the value of the human element in determining its success. Today, change has become the standard, and we thank both customers and employees for their efforts and confidence in our company as we successfully traverse this dynamic environment.

We are enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead. Our industry will continue to see rapid change in technology, experimentation in content delivery, and a move to integrate and manage services across multiple platforms, whether via computer, television, telephone, or cell phone. We take seriously our role as a leading provider of high quality, innovative solutions for complex, multiple-service networks, and we are dedicated to helping broadband network operators worldwide achieve a swift and profitable transition to on demand, IP-based networks.

Thank you for your confidence in C-COR. We will keep you informed of our progress throughout the coming year.
