NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information for the Company (or “JDSU”) as of March 28, 2009 and for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008 is unaudited, and includes all normal and recurring adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended June 28, 2008.

The balance sheet as of June 28, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The results for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009 may not be indicative of results for the year ending June 27, 2009 or any future periods.

Fiscal Years

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This statement does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies the fair value definition, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that the fair value is the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 input), then to quoted prices (in non-active markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are not directly observable, but that are corroborated by observable market data for the asset or liability (Level 2 input), then the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, for example, the Company’s own data about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (Level 3 input). It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and a fair value measurement should therefore be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 157-1 to exclude FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-2 to defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually, which are deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of its fiscal year 2009.

In order to determine the implications of adopting SFAS 157, the Company reviewed all the assets and liabilities recorded on its balance sheet. Based on the results of its review, the Company determined that a majority of its assets and liabilities are either outside the scope of SFAS 157 and not required to be measured at fair value in its financial statements, or are subject to the deferred implementation FSP No 157-2. Therefore, the only assets and liabilities in the financial statements that were subject to SFAS 157 (i.e. measured at fair value on a recurring basis) were the investment portfolio, foreign currency forward contracts, trading securities under a deferred compensation plan, and the bond parity derivative related to the 1% senior convertible notes.

Out of Period Adjustments

For the nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Company recorded adjustments related to revenue, cost of sales, operating expenses, income tax expense, and certain balance sheet accounts. The corrections resulted in the Company reporting $1.9 million in additional net income in the nine months ended March 29, 2008. Management and the Audit Committee believe that such amounts are not material to previously reported financial statements. These adjustments do not impact net income per share for the nine months ended March 29, 2008.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net revenue and expenses during the period. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future that are believed to be reasonable based on available information. The Company’s reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under different conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting policies. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the accumulated net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, foreign currency translation adjustments, and pension liability.

The components of comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (in millions):

     March 28,
2009
    June 28,

Unrealized losses on investments, net of tax

   $ (7.2 )   $ (3.8 )

Foreign currency translation gains, net of tax

     8.6       65.3

     16.4       16.4  
                

Accumulated other comprehensive income

   $ 17.8     $ 77.9  
                

The change in foreign currency translation gains was primarily attributable to the impairment of goodwill recorded in foreign currencies and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the period.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Staff Positions FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”, FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, and FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. These FSPs address concerns about (1) recording impairment charges on investments in debt instruments, (2) measuring the fair value of financial instruments when the markets become inactive and quoted prices may reflect distressed transactions, and (3) disclosure of fair values of certain financial instruments in interim financial statements. These FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company believes that the adoption of these FSPs will not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB Staff Position FAS 141(R)-1

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. The FSP addresses concerns raised by constituents about certain implementation issues related to the accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies under FAS 141(R), Business Combinations. Specifically, the FASB decided that the general requirements in FAS 141 for acquired contingencies should be carried forward without significant revision. Accordingly, under the FSP, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies should be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. Otherwise, companies would typically account for those acquired contingencies using existing guidance. This FSP is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2010 but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions it consummates after the effective date.

FSP 132(R)-1

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets”. This FSP amends SFAS No. 132(R) to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The FSP requires disclosures surrounding how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies. Additional disclosures include (a) the major categories of plan assets, (b) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, and (c) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period and the significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The disclosures shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 132(R)-1 when it becomes effective in fiscal year 2010.

FASB Staff Positions APB 14-1

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. FSB No. APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled by the issuer fully or partially in cash. The FSP is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied retrospectively to all past periods presented—even if the instrument has matured, converted, or otherwise been extinguished as of the FSP’s effective date. The Company has not completed its assessment of the impact of FSP No. APB 14-1.

FASB Staff Positions FAS 142-3

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. The final FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The FSP is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, and other US generally accepted accounting principles. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company believes FSP 142-3 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 141(R)

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) introduces significant changes in the accounting for and reporting of business combination. SFAS 141(R) continues the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting and increased transparency through expanded disclosures. It changes how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements at the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. Further, certain of the changes will introduce more volatility into earnings and thus may impact a company’s acquisition strategy. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2010. Accordingly, any business combinations it engages in will be recorded and disclosed according to SFAS 141, until June 27, 2009. The Company expects SFAS 141R will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions it consummates after the effective date.

FSP 157-2

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), to provide enhanced guidance when using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and, while not requiring new fair value measurements, may change current practices. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Positions 157-2 (FSP 157-2) amending FAS 157 to delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FSP 157-2 will have on certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities within the scope of FAS 157 when it becomes effective in fiscal year 2010.

Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions

Fiscal 2008 Acquisitions

American Bank Note Holographics, Inc. (“ABNH”)

In February 2008, the Company purchased ABNH, a public company, for approximately 8.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock with a market value of $110.3 million at the measurement date and $19.5 million in cash, including $1.2 million of direct transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition. JDSU also assumed ABNH’s employee outstanding stock options at close, valued at $11.4 million at the measurement date.

ABNH’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to the date of acquisition. The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and ABNH, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the period presented:

Westover Scientific Inc. (“Westover”)

In January 2008, the Company purchased Westover’s Fiber Optic Division for approximately $51.5 million in cash, including $0.8 million of direct transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition. In addition, the Company was obligated to pay contingent cash consideration of up to $7.0 million if certain revenue targets were achieved during the 3 years from acquisition date through January 31, 2010. As the revenue target was met for the first phase from January 7, 2008 through January 31, 2009, the additional consideration of $4.0 million was paid in February 2009.

Westover’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to prior period financial statements.

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, the Company recorded write-downs of inventories of $2.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Company recorded write-downs of inventories of $4.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, the Company consumed previously written-down inventories of $2.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Company consumed previously written-down inventories of $2.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively. In addition, the Company has an active scrap program and typically disposes of inventory that has been written down through the use of scrap dealers or physical disposal/destruction. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, the Company scrapped $23.5 million and $36.4 million of fully reserved inventory, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Company scrapped $12.3 million and $27.8 million of fully reserved inventory, respectively.

The Company operates in markets with relatively few customers and has historically experienced variability in product demand driven by the buying behaviours of these customers. In addition, the Company’s products utilize long-lead time parts which are available from a limited set of vendors. The combined effects of a limited customer base, variability of demand among the customer base and significant long-lead time or single sourced materials has historically contributed to significant inventory write-downs. The Company routinely reviews inventory for usage potential, including fulfilment of customer warranty obligations and spare part requirements. The Company writes down to zero the value of excess and obsolete (“E&O”) inventory that is not expected to be consumed through operations generally within 12 months. Excess inventory is written down to zero value in large part due to the Company’s history of changes in customer demand and inherent product obsolescence concerns.

For any written down inventory items retained, the Company evaluates the future realizable value of inventories and impact on gross margins, taking into consideration product life cycles, technological and product changes, demand visibility and other market conditions. The Company believes its current process for writing down inventory appropriately balances the risk in the marketplace with a fair representation of the realizable value of the Company’s inventory.

Note 5. Financing Obligation

On August 21, 2007, the Company entered into a sale and lease back of certain buildings and land in Santa Rosa, California. The Company sold approximately 45 acres of land, 13 buildings with approximately 492,000 rentable square feet, a building pad, and parking areas. The Company leased back 7 buildings with approximately 286,000 rentable square feet. The net cash proceeds received from the transaction were $32.2 million. The lease terms range from a five year lease with a one year renewal option to a ten year lease with two five year renewal options.

The Company has an ongoing obligation to remediate the environmental matter required by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board which existed at the time of sale. Concurrent with the sale and lease back, the Company has issued an irrevocable letter of credit for $3.8 million as security for the remediation of the environmental matter that remains in effect until the issuance of a notice of no further action letter from the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, the lease agreement for one building included an option to purchase at fair market value, at the end of the lease term. Due to these various forms of continuing involvement the transaction was recorded under the financing method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 98 “Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS 98”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”).

Accordingly, the value of the buildings and land will remain on the Company’s books and the buildings will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The proceeds received have been recorded as a financing obligation and a portion of the lease payments are recorded as a decrease to the financing obligation and a portion is recognized as interest expense. Imputed rental income from the buildings sold but not leased back is recorded as a reduction in the financing obligation.

The guarantee of up to $3.8 million was accounted for in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). The present value of the guarantee approximates the liability of $1.0 million which was included in Other non-current liabilities as of March 28, 2009.

As of March 28, 2009, of the total financing obligation related to Santa Rosa, $0.5 million was included in Other current liabilities, and $31.0 million was included in Other non-current liabilities. As of June 28, 2008 $0.5 million was included in Other current liabilities, and $31.4 million was included in Other non-current liabilities.

(1) $213.5 million included in cash and cash equivalents, $409.6 million in short-term investments, $11.5 million in restricted cash, and $11.9 million in long-term investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company measures its cash equivalents, marketable securities, and foreign currency forward contracts at fair value, which does not materially differ from the carrying values of these instruments in the financial statements. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified within Level 1 or Level 2, with the exception of an investment in the Reserve Primary Money Market Fund (the “Reserve Fund”). Level 1 and Level 2 investments are classified as such because they are valued primarily using quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are not directly observable, but that are corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities are comprised of agency securities, corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities. The Reserve Fund investment is classified within Level 3 because it is valued using unobservable inputs and management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity and these assumptions are significant. Our foreign currency forward contracts are typically classified within Level 2 because they are based on foreign currency rates quoted by banks, foreign currency dealers, and other public data sources. The foreign currency forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near month end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts is approximately zero.

The bond parity derivatives related to the convertible notes are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value of the derivatives is approximately zero.

The recent uncertainties in the credit markets have affected the Company’s investments in the Reserve Fund and Lehman Brothers securities. As a result, reliable Level 1 or Level 2 pricing is not available for these securities. In light of these developments, to determine the fair value for the investment in the Reserve Fund and the Lehman Brothers securities, the Company performed its own analyses as discussed above. Based on the outcomes of these analyses, the Company classified its investments in the Reserve Fund as current assets because it reasonably expects that it will be able to redeem this investment and have the proceeds available for use in its operations within the next twelve months. However, the Company is not dependent on liquidating this investment in the next twelve months in order to meet its liquidity needs.

Total financial assets at fair value classified within Level 3 were less than 0.3% of total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 28, 2009.

During the three months ended March 28, 2009, the Company recorded $2.2 million of other-than-temporary impairment related to an asset-backed security, given considerations of the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, in connection with the impact of weakening market conditions on the Company’s forecasts and a sustained, significant decline in the market capitalization to a level lower than the net book value of the Company, the Company concluded that triggering events existed and were required to test long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment, in accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”) and SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset” (“SFAS 142”) .

Under SFAS 144, the Company’s long-lived assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flow. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level. The Company has determined that, based on its cashflow structure, organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors, its long-lived asset groups and reporting units are: Communications Test & Measurement (excluding da Vinci) (“CommTest”), da Vinci, Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“CCOP”), Custom Optics Product Group (“COPG”), Authentication Solutions Group (“ASG”), and Flex Product Group (“Flex”).

Under SFAS 144, the Company estimated the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the long-lived asset groups and their eventual disposal and then compared the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset groups. The cashflow period was based on the remaining useful lives of the primary asset in each long-lived asset group which ranges from 5 to 13 years. The result of the analysis indicated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the long-lived asset groups, the long-lived asset groups are recoverable; therefore, an impairment does not exist, except for da Vinci. As a result of the test, the Company recorded da Vinci’s long-lived asset impairment charge of $7.7 million which approximates the full amount of the intangible assets associated with this asset group in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Under the first step of the SFAS 142 analysis, the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices, are considered. The fair value of the reporting units was determined based on the income approach and then compared to the results of the market approach for reasonableness. The Company assumed a cash flow period of 10 years, long-term annual growth rates of 4.1% to 20.5%, discount rates of 19.2% to 31.7% and terminal value growth rates of 4% to 5%. The discount rates are higher than the ones used in the last annual impairment test due to the increase in the inherent risks in the CommTest and CCOP products market that the Company serves. The Company believes that the assumptions and rates used in the interim impairment test under SFAS 144 and SFAS 142 are reasonable, but they are judgmental, and variations in any of the assumptions or rates could result in materially different calculations of impairment amounts. The sum of the fair values of the reporting units was reconciled to the Company’s current market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. Based on the first step of the analysis, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of all reporting units, except Flex, were in excess of their fair value. The result of the preliminary analysis indicated that there would be no remaining implied value attributable to goodwill in three of the reporting units and accordingly, the Company wrote off all $255 million of goodwill associated with these reporting units in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company was required to perform the second step analysis on CommTest and ASG reporting units to determine the amount of the impairment loss.

Under the second step of the SFAS 142 analysis, the implied fair value of goodwill requires valuation of a reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference. As a result, the Company impaired the value of its goodwill by approximately $692 million, which was recorded as a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This charge was an estimate subject to finalization of the second step pro-forma valuation for CommTest and ASG, which, due to the timing and complexity of the valuation calculations required, was not complete as of the date of the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. For CommTest and ASG, the second step goodwill impairment test estimate assumed the carrying value of assets approximated their fair value. With regard to CommTest reporting unit, the estimate of the goodwill impairment charge of $398 million approximated the difference between the reporting unit’s fair value and its carrying value. With regard to ASG reporting unit, the estimate of the goodwill impairment charge of $40 million approximated the full amount of the goodwill associated with this reporting unit.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company completed the second step of the SFAS 142 analysis, which was started in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, on CommTest and ASG reporting units. The Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $45.0 million for a total impairment of $736.9 million related to the SFAS 142 analysis started in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The additional impairment charge of $45.0 million consisted of $48.2 million with regard to CommTest reporting unit offset by an adjustment of $3.2 million with regard to ASG reporting unit.

Given the current macro economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the potential impact on the Company’s business, there can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions regarding the duration of the ongoing economic downturn, or the period or strength of recovery, made for purposes of the long-lived asset and goodwill impairment tests during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company’s assumptions regarding forecasted cash flow, revenue and margin growth rates of certain long-lived asset groups and reporting units are not achieved, it is reasonably possible that an impairment review may be triggered for the remaining balance of goodwill and long-lived assets during the next annual review in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

The goodwill balance is adjusted quarterly to record the effect of currency translation adjustments.

Note 9. Loss of Long-Lived Assets

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, the Company recorded $7.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of losses primarily related to the disposal of certain assets and liabilities related to manufacturing operations in Shenzhen, China. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Company recorded $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of losses related to the disposal of property, plant and equipment.

Assets Held and Used:

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, the Company did not record losses related to assets held and used. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, the Company recorded a loss of zero million and $0.4 million, respectively, for certain assets related to the Company’s Santa Rosa, California facility.

Assets Held for Sale:

In February 2009 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities related to manufacturing operations in Shenzhen, China (the “Disposal group”) to Sanmina-SCI and one of its subsidiaries (the Buyer). The related sale closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 on March 29, 2009. The Disposal group was historically part of the Communication and Commercial Optical Products Segment. Concurrently, the Company entered into an agreement where the Buyer would manufacture and supply certain of the Company’s products.

The total carrying amount of the assets and liabilities included in the Disposal group, the related adjustment to fair value, and the related adjusted carrying value are as follows (in millions):

 

     March 28,
2009
 

Plant and equipment

   $ 10.4  

Inventory, net

     27.2  

Other assets, net

     0.7  

Accounts payable and accrued expenses

     (8.9 )

Total carrying amount

     25.9  

Adjustment to fair value

     (5.5 )
        

Adjusted carrying value of the Disposal group

   $ 20.4  
        

The adjusted carrying value and the resultant adjustment to fair value are based on estimated proceeds from the sale transaction. The estimated proceeds presently exclude $3.2 million in potential proceeds for leasehold improvements that the Company will receive should the Buyer decide to extend the lease on the existing manufacturing facility. Additionally, the Company stopped recording depreciation related to plant and equipment upon entering into the definitive agreement, which would have aggregated $0.8 million through the sale closing date.

The estimated loss recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was calculated as follows (in millions):

 

Estimated proceeds

   $ 20.4  

Less total carrying value of the Disposal group

     (25.9 )

Less selling costs

     (1.1 )
        

Estimated loss

   $ (6.6 )
        

The estimated loss has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Loss and impairment of long-lived assets. The adjusted carrying value of this disposal group is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Assets held for sale.

To the extent that the Buyer does not consume certain acquired inventory within specified limited timeframes, the Company has agreed to prepay the Buyer for such inventory. The title to the related inventory remains with the Buyer. The initial prepayment is estimated to be approximately $18.2 million, and the initial prepayment is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of the fiscal 2009. The prepayment account will be included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Other current assets.

Note 12. Income Tax

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.4 million and an income tax expense of $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, respectively.

The income tax benefit recorded for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, primarily relates to income tax expense in certain foreign jurisdictions based on the Company’s forecasted pre-tax income for the year, and includes a tax benefit of $0.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively, as a result of the enactment of the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Act provides that taxpayers may elect to forego bonus depreciation on certain additions of qualified eligible property and, in turn, claim a refundable credit for a portion of their unused AMT and research credits. In addition, the Company recorded a tax benefit of zero and $3.2 million related to the book write off of tax deductible goodwill for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively.

Table of Contents

The income tax benefit and income tax expense recorded for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions of $1.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, based on the Company’s forecasted pre-tax income for the year, and includes the recognition of $8.7 million of uncertain tax benefits relating to the expiration of a statute of limitations in a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the write off of $1.7 million of inventory related foreign deferred tax assets.

The income tax expense recorded differs from the expected tax expense that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s loss before income taxes primarily due to the increases in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to the Company’s domestic and foreign losses from continuing operations.

On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). As of March 28, 2009 and June 28, 2008 the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $64.7 million and $71.9 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. The Company had $25.6 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 28, 2009.

Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company repurchased approximately 7.6 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $11.40 per share, completing the $200 million share repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 15, 2008. The total purchase price of $86.8 million was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder to accumulated deficit.

During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company made no repurchases of shares of common stock.

The Company primarily issues stock options and Full Value Awards under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. On November 12, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the following amendments to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The first amendment increased the number of shares that may be issued under 2003 Equity Plan by 12,000,000. The second amendment increased the maximum number of shares granted to any employee in any fiscal year to 1,000,000. As of March 28, 2009, common stock available for grant was 13.6 million shares.

Stock Options

The exercise price for stock options is equal to the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable over a three-year or four-year period and, if not exercised, expire from five to ten years after the date of grant.

   0.00 %   0.00 %   0.00 %   0.00 %

Note 15. Employee Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors qualified and non-qualified pension plans for certain past and present employees in the UK and Germany. The Company also is responsible for the non-pension postretirement benefit obligation of a previously acquired subsidiary. The plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service. As of March 28, 2009 the UK plan was partially funded while the other plans were unfunded. The Company’s policy for funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. For unfunded plans, the Company pays the postretirement benefits when due. Future estimated benefit payments are summarized below. No other required contributions to defined benefit plans are expected in fiscal 2009. The funded plan assets consist primarily of managed investments.

The following table presents the components of the net periodic cost for the pension plans (in millions):

 

     Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
     March 28,
2009
    March 29,
2008
    March 28,

Service cost

   $ —       $ —       $ —       $ —    

Interest cost

     1.3       1.5       4.1       4.6  

Expected return on plan assets

     (0.3 )     (0.3 )     (0.9 )     (1.1 )

Recognized net actuarial (gains)/losses

     (0.1 )     —         (0.3 )     —    
                                

Net periodic benefit cost

   $ 0.9     $ 1.2     $ 2.9     $ 3.5  
                                

Underlying both the calculation of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic cost are actuarial valuations. These valuations use participant-specific information such as salary, age, years of service, and assumptions about interest rates, compensation increases and other factors. At a minimum, the Company evaluates these assumptions annually and makes changes as necessary.

The Company expects to incur cash outlays of approximately $4.6 million related to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2009 to make current benefit payments and fund future obligations. As of March 28, 2009, approximately $3.2 million had been incurred. These payments have been estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s pension benefit obligation (“PBO”) at June 28, 2008.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Tax Matters

The Company has been subject to a Texas franchise tax audit related to allocated taxable surplus capital for Texas report years 2001, 2002, and 2003. While the Company believes that it is reasonably possible this audit may result in additional tax liabilities, based on currently available information, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of this audit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or overall trends in results of operations. There is the possibility of a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or overall trends in results of operations for the period in which this matter is ultimately resolved, if it is resolved unfavorably, or in the period in which an unfavorable outcome becomes probable. The range of the potential total tax liability related to these matters is estimated to be from $0 million to $37 million, plus interest and penalties.

Note 18. Operating Segments and Geographic Information

The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) and the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts No. 04-10, “Determining Whether to Aggregate Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds” (“EITF No. 04-10”). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Waechter, is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) pursuant to SFAS 131. The CODM allocates resources to the segments based on their business prospects, competitive factors, net revenue and operating results.

A consolidated action entitled In re JDS Uniphase Corporation ERISA Litigation, Case No. C-03-4743 WWS (MEJ), is pending in the District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, certain of its former and current officers and directors, and certain other current and former JDSU employees on behalf of a purported class of participants in the 401(k) Plans of the Company and Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc. and the Plans themselves. On October 31, 2005, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges that Defendants violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act by breaching their fiduciary duties to the Plans and the Plans’ participants. The amended complaint alleges a purported class period from February 4, 2000, to the present and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, a constructive trust, and other equitable remedies. Certain individual Defendants’ motion to dismiss portions of the amended complaint was granted with prejudice on June 15, 2006.

Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on June 30, 2006. Defendants answered the complaint on July 6, 2006, and JDSU asserted counterclaims for breach of contract. The Court dismissed those counterclaims on September 11, 2006. On December 15, 2006, defendants moved for summary judgment on the ground that the named plaintiffs lacked standing. On the same day, plaintiffs moved for class certification. On April 24, 2007, the Court denied defendants’ motion for summary judgment as to plaintiff Douglas Pettit, deferred ruling on the motion for summary judgment as to plaintiff Eric Carey, and deferred ruling on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Both sides have taken discovery. Following the verdict for defendants in In re JDS Uniphase Corporation Securities Litigation, a securities class action based on allegations similar to those in the ERISA action, the court in the ERISA action vacated all existing deadlines, set a schedule for briefing a summary judgment motion based on collateral estoppel issues, and stayed discovery pending resolution of that motion. By Order dated April 17, 2008, the Court modified the briefing schedule for JDSU’s summary judgment motion and ordered the parties to engage in mediation. Defendants moved for summary judgment on collateral estoppel issues on May 2, 2008. The parties participated in mediation on October 10, 2008, and reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims. On March 3, 2009, the parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding reflecting the terms of their agreement. The parties continue to work on documents necessary to complete the settlement and have exchanged drafts.

The Company is also subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See “Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements” regarding the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Impairment

We review goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, in connection with the impact of weakening market conditions on our forecasts and a sustained, significant decline in the market capitalization to a level lower than the net book value of the Company, we concluded that triggering events existed and were required to test long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment, in accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”) and SFAS 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset” (“SFAS 142”) .

Under SFAS 144, our long-lived assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flow. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level. We have determined that, based on our cashflow structure, organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors, our long-lived asset groups and reporting units are: Communications Test & Measurement (excluding da Vinci) (“CommTest”), da Vinci, Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“CCOP”), Custom Optics Product Group (“COPG”), Authentication Solutions Group (“ASG”), and Flex Product Group (“Flex”).

Under SFAS 144, we estimated the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the long-lived asset groups and their eventual disposal and then compared the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset groups. The cashflow period was based on the remaining useful lives of the primary asset in each long-lived asset group which ranges from 5 to 13 years. The result of the analysis indicated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the long-lived asset groups, the long-lived asset groups are recoverable; therefore, an impairment does not exist, except for da Vinci. As a result of the test, we recorded da Vinci’s long-lived asset impairment charge of $7.7 million which approximates the full amount of the intangible assets associated with this asset group in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Under the first step of the SFAS 142 analysis, the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices, are considered. The fair value of the reporting units was determined based on the income approach and then compared to the results of the market approach for reasonableness. We assumed a cash flow period of 10 years, long-term annual growth rates of 4.1% to 20.5%, discount rates of 19.2% to 31.7% and terminal value growth rates of 4% to 5%. The discount rates are higher than the ones used in the last annual impairment test due to the increase in the inherent risks in the CommTest and CCOP products market that we serve. We believe that the assumptions and rates used in the interim impairment test under SFAS 144 and SFAS 142 are reasonable, but they are judgmental, and variations in any of the assumptions or rates could result in materially different calculations of impairment amounts. The sum of the fair values of the reporting units was reconciled to our current market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. Based on the first step of the analysis, we determined that the carrying amounts of all reporting units, except Flex, were in excess of their fair value. The result of the preliminary analysis indicated that there would be no remaining implied value attributable to goodwill in three of the reporting units and accordingly, we wrote off all $255 million of goodwill associated with these reporting units in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. We were required to perform the second step analysis on CommTest and ASG reporting units to determine the amount of the impairment loss.

Under the second step of the SFAS 142 analysis, the implied fair value of goodwill requires valuation of a reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference. As a result, the Company impaired the value of its goodwill by approximately $692 million, which was recorded as a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This charge was an estimate subject to finalization of the second step pro-forma valuation for CommTest and ASG, which, due to the timing and complexity of the valuation calculations required, was not complete as of the date of the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. For CommTest and ASG, the second step goodwill impairment test estimate assumed the carrying value of assets approximated their fair value. With regard to CommTest reporting unit, the estimate of the goodwill impairment charge of $398 million approximated the difference between the reporting unit’s fair value and its carrying value. With regard to ASG reporting unit, the estimate of the goodwill impairment charge of $40 million approximated the full amount of the goodwill associated with this reporting unit.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, we completed the second step of the SFAS 142 analysis, which was started in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, on CommTest and ASG reporting units. We recorded an additional impairment charge of $45.0 million for a total impairment of $736.9 million related to the SFAS 142 analysis started in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The additional impairment charge of $45.0 million consisted of $48.2 million with regard to CommTest reporting unit offset by an adjustment of $3.2 million with regard to ASG reporting unit.

Given the current macro economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the potential impact on our business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions regarding the duration of the ongoing economic downturn, or the period or strength of recovery, made for purposes of the long-lived asset and goodwill impairment tests during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted cash flow, revenue and margin growth rates of certain long-lived asset groups and reporting units are not achieved, it is reasonably possible that an impairment review may be triggered for the remaining balance of goodwill and long-lived assets during the next annual review in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This statement does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies the fair value definition, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that the fair value is the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 input), then to quoted prices (in non-active markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are not directly observable, but that are corroborated by observable market data for the asset or liability (Level 2 input), then the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, for example, our own data about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (Level 3 input). It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and a fair value measurement should therefore be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 157-1 to exclude SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 to defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually, which are deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of our fiscal year 2009.

In order to determine the implications of adopting SFAS 157, we reviewed all the assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheet. Based on the results of our review, we determined that a majority of our assets and liabilities are either outside the scope of SFAS 157 and not required to be measured at fair value in our financial statements, or are subject to the deferred implementation FSP No 157-2. Therefore, the only assets and liabilities in our financial statements that were subject to SFAS 157 (i.e. measured at fair value on a recurring basis) at June 30, 2008 were our investment portfolio, foreign currency forward contracts, trading securities under a deferred compensation plan, and the bond parity derivatives related to the convertible notes.

For a description of the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

OUT OF PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

For the nine months ended March 29, 2008, we recorded adjustments related to revenue, cost of sales, operating expenses, income tax expense, and certain balance sheet accounts. The corrections resulted in $1.9 million in additional net income in the nine months ended March 29, 2008. Management and the Audit Committee believe that such amounts are not material to previously reported financial statements. These adjustments do not impact net income per share for the nine months ended March 29, 2008

Net Revenue

Net revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased 27%, or $103.3 million, to $280.6 million from $383.9 million in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to decreased demand for our Communications Test and Measurement and Communications and Commercial Optical Products products. The decrease of $40.1 million in our CommTest segment is driven by sales decreases across all groups due to the general slowdown of the economy. The decrease of $58.6 million in our CCOP segment is primarily due to lower bookings from major customers as a result of the overall softness in the market across all groups.

Net revenue in the nine months ended March 28, 2009 decreased 11%, or $121.5 million, to $1,018.3 million from $1,139.8 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease of $69.3 million in the CommTest segment affects all product groups caused by the general economic recession. Our CCOP segment has been similarly affected by the recession, with revenues down by $56.5 million and the inability to recognize $6.8 million in revenue for goods shipped to Nortel due to their bankruptcy protection filing. Offsetting these decreases, our AOT segment increased by $4.0 million where revenue growth is the result of the recent acquisition of ABNH.

Going forward, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market structural risks and uncertainties that will limit our business climate and market visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance, and that could create quarter over quarter variability in one or more of our financial measures. These structural risks and uncertainties include: (a) strong pricing pressures, particularly within our Optical Communications markets, due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing Asian competition, excess device manufacturing

capacity within the optical communications industry and a general commoditization trend for many of our products; (b) high product mix variability, particularly in our Optical Communications products, which causes revenue variability, as well as gross profit variability due to, among other things, factory utilization fluctuations and inventory and supply chain management complexities; (c) seasonal buying patterns within our Communications Test and Measurement customers, which causes significant seasonal revenue variation within this high gross margin business unit; and (d) continuing service provider business model uncertainty, which causes demand, revenue and profitability measure unpredictability at each level of the communications industry and (e) general weakness in the worldwide economic environment. Moreover, the current trend of communications industry consolidations is expected to continue, directly affecting our Optical Communication’s and Communications Test and Measurement’s customer base and adding additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business predictability. A prolonged worldwide economic downturn may lead to lower sales volume or reduced sales growth, lower sales prices, shorter payment terms with vendors, extended payment terms with customers, lower gross margins, increased bad debts or product supply shortages, which would negatively impact our business and financial statements.

Our program of North American assembly manufacturing transitions will continue, but until completed, these activities will continue to present additional supply chain and product delivery disruption risks, yield and quality concerns and increased cost risks. These risks, while expected to diminish over the next several quarters, also currently limit our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance. We have completed the sale of our Shenzhen-based manufacturing operations to Sanmina-SCI (the “Buyer”) and concurrently, we entered into an agreement whereby the Buyer would manufacture and supply certain of our products on April 29, 2009. The Buyer assumed manufacturing operations of JDSU’s Optical Communications, Lasers and Communications Test and Measurement product lines built in Shenzhen and began fulfilling customer orders.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased 30%, or $43.6 million, to $102.0 million from $145.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease is primarily related to our CommTest and CCOP segments, with decreases across all product groups due to continuing decreased sales volume and falling orders.

Gross profit in the nine months ended March 28, 2009 decreased 14%, or $61.3 million, to $389.4 million from $450.7 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to decreased revenue level and lower margin discussed above.

As discussed in more detail under “Net Revenue” above, we sell products in certain markets that are consolidating, undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations, are highly competitive (increasingly due to Asia-based competition), are price sensitive and are affected by customer seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. These factors along with our continuing ongoing product and manufacturing transitions, certain suppliers’ constraints, and factory utilization and execution issues, could have an impact, resulting in quarterly variability of our gross profit.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Net Revenue” above, we face additional risks and uncertainties, associated with new product introductions that could impair future gross profits. New product programs and introductions, which due to their large scale restricted field testing and lack of production manufacturers with their increased complexity, have incurred and are expected to continue to incur relatively higher start-up costs and increased yield and product quality risk. Issues associated with some of these products have negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact our gross profit.

Research and Development (“R&D”) and Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

R&D and SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased 15%, or $23.4 million to $136.5 million, from $159.9 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease for the three months ended March 28, 2009 is mainly due to lower project spending, headcount reduction and other cost saving efforts across all segments, together with reduced volumes. R&D and SG&A expenses for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 decreased 4%, or $16.7 million to $441.8 million, from $458.5 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 is primarily due to a decrease in R&D and marketing expenses driven by headcount reduction and other cost saving measures, offset by an increase in corporate level G&A expense related to the Maverick Oracle upgrade program.

We believe that investment in R&D is critical to attaining our strategic objectives. Historically, we have devoted significant engineering resources to assist with production, quality and delivery challenges which have had some negative impact on our new product development activities. Despite our continued efforts to reduce total operating expenses, there can be no assurance that our R&D expenses will continue to remain at the current level. In addition, there can be no assurance that such expenditures will be successful or that improved processes or commercial products, at acceptable volumes and pricing, will result from our investment in R&D.

Table of Contents

We intend to continue to aggressively address our SG&A expenses and reduce these expenses as and when opportunities arise. We have in the recent past experienced, and expect to continue to experience in the future, certain non-core expenses, such as litigation and dispute related settlements and accruals, which could increase our SG&A expenses, and impair our profitability expectations, in any particular quarter. We are also increasing SG&A expenses in the near term to complete the integration of recent acquisitions, particularly with respect to business infrastructure and systems matters. None of these non-core expenses, however, is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. There can be no assurance that our SG&A expense will decline in the future or that, more importantly, we will develop a cost structure (including our SG&A expense), which will lead to profitability under current and expected revenue levels.

Impairment and Amortization of Intangibles

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded zero and $7.7 million of impairment charge related to acquired technology and other intangibles. The $7.7 million consists of $4.9 million and $2.8 million recorded in cost of sales and operating expenses, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, there were no impairment charges recorded. See “Note 7. Goodwill” for discussion on impairment review.

Amortization of acquired technology and other intangibles for the three months ended March 28, 2009 decreased 4%, or $0.8 million, to $19.7 million from $20.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. Amortization of acquired technology and other intangibles for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 decreased to $58.1 million from $58.8 million in the same period a year ago.

Based on the carrying amount of other intangibles as of March 28, 2009, and assuming no future impairment of the underlying assets, the estimated future amortization is as follows (in millions):

The other intangibles balance is adjusted quarterly to record the effect of currency translation adjustments.

Loss of Long-Lived Assets

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded $7.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of losses primarily related to the disposal of certain assets and liabilities related to manufacturing operations in Shenzhen, China. See “Note 9. Loss of Long-Lived Assets” for more details. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, we recorded $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of losses related to the disposal of property, plant and equipment.

Assets Held and Used:

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, we did not record losses related to assets held and used. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, we recorded a loss of zero million and $0.4 million, respectively, for certain assets related to the Company’s Santa Rosa, California facility.

Assets Held for Sale:

In February 2009 we entered into a definitive agreement with California-based contract manufacturer, Sanmina-SCI (the “Buyer”), to sell our optical communications, lasers and certain test and measurement manufacturing assets and liabilities in Shenzhen, China (the “Disposal group”) and concurrently, we entered into an agreement where the Buyer would manufacture and supply certain of our products. The agreements include the seamless transition of approximately 2,000 JDSU employees in Shenzhen to the Buyer. Our decision to sell the Shenzhen manufacturing operations is the latest move in our ongoing efforts to improve our long-term business model and cost-effectively scale production to customer demand. This strategy allows us to simplify our business and move from a fixed to a variable cost structure while giving us more flexibility to respond to market conditions.

We have completed the sale of our Shenzhen-based manufacturing operations to the Buyer on April 29, 2009. The Buyer assumed manufacturing operations of JDSU’s Optical Communications, Lasers and Communications Test and Measurement product lines built in Shenzhen and began fulfilling customer orders. Approximately 150 Shenzhen employees focused on product development, operational execution, sales and corporate functions will remain JDSU employees and for the time being will continue to be located at the Shenzhen site now owned by Sanmina. We will relocate these employees to JDSU’s new facility in Shenzhen later this year.

The total carrying amount of the assets and liabilities included in the Disposal group, the related adjustment to fair value, and the related adjusted carrying value are as follows (in millions):

 

     March 28,
2009
 

Plant and equipment

   $ 10.4  

Inventory, net

     27.2  

Other assets, net

Total carrying amount

     25.9  

Adjustment to fair value

     (5.5 )
        

Adjusted carrying value of the Disposal group

   $ 20.4  
        

The adjusted carrying value and the resultant adjustment to fair value are based on estimated proceeds from the sale transaction. The estimated proceeds presently exclude $3.2 million in potential proceeds for leasehold improvements that we will receive should the Buyer decide to extend the lease on the existing manufacturing facility. Additionally, we stopped recording depreciation related to plant and equipment upon entering into the definitive agreement, which would have aggregated $0.8 million through the sale closing date.

The estimated loss recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was calculated as follows (in millions):

 

Estimated proceeds

   $ 20.4  

Less total carrying value of the Disposal group

     (25.9 )

Less selling costs

     (1.1 )
        

Estimated loss

   $ (6.6 )
        

The estimated loss has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Loss and impairment of long-lived assets. The adjusted carrying value of this disposal group is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Assets held for sale.

To the extent that the Buyer does not consume certain acquired inventory within specified limited timeframes, we have agreed to prepay the Buyer for such inventory. The title to the related inventory remains with the Buyer. The initial prepayment is estimated to be approximately $18.2 million, and the initial prepayment is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of the fiscal 2009. The prepayment account will be included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Other current assets.

The estimated proceeds and the estimated prepayment amounts are subject to a final reconciliation review between the Company and the Buyer in May 2009.

During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, we did not record any charges related to Assets Held for Sale.

Sale of Assets:

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded a gain of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the sale of assets. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, we recorded a gain of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the sale and disposal of assets.

Asset Disposal Other than Sale:

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, we recorded a loss of $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the disposal of assets other than sale. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, we recorded a loss of $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for the disposal of assets related to the Singapore and Ottawa facilities.

Restructuring and Other Related Charges

We continue to take advantage of opportunities to further reduce costs through targeted, customer-driven restructuring events intended to consolidate and rationalize the manufacture of our products based on core competencies and cost efficiencies, together with the need to align the business in response to the current significant weakening in market conditions. See “Note 11. Restructuring” for more detail.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded $11.0 million in restructuring charges which included $9.1 million for severance and benefits, $2.0 million for manufacturing transfer cost, and $0.1 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases. Two thousand two hundred and forty nine employees were notified for termination, 2,095 in manufacturing, 25 in research and development and 129 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 2,071 were located in Asia, 173 were located in North America and 5 were located in Europe. As of March 28, 2009, 632 of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid off by the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The business segment primarily impacted by these restructuring charges is Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded $6.6 million in restructuring charges which included $4.6 million for severance and benefits, $1.0 million for manufacturing transfer cost, and $1.0 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases. One hundred and five employees were notified for termination, 73 in manufacturing, 28 in research and development and 4 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 90 were located in North America and 15 were located in Europe. As of March 28, 2009, 40 of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid off by the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The business segments primarily impacted by these restructuring charges are Communications Test & Measurement segment and Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded $2.6 million in restructuring charges which included $2.0 million for severance and benefits, $0.2 million for manufacturing transfer cost, and $0.4 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases. Two hundred and three employees were notified for termination, 181 in manufacturing, 19 in research and development and 3 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 200 were located in North America, 2 were located in Asia, and 1 was located in Europe. As of March 28, 2009, 67 of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid by the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded $1.7 million in restructuring charges which included $1.6 million for severance and benefits and $0.1 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases. Sixty nine employees were notified for termination, 47 in manufacturing, 7 in research and development and 15 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 61 were located in North America, 3 were located in Europe, 4 were located in Asia and 1 was located in South America. As of March 29, 2008, all of these employees have been terminated. In addition, the Company also recorded a lease exit charge, net of assumed sub-lease income, of $2.2 million related to the Ottawa facility that was included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The payments related to these lease costs are expected to be paid by the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded $0.2 million in restructuring charges which included $0.1 million for severance and benefits and $0.1 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases. Seventeen employees were notified for termination, 14 in manufacturing, and 3 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 16 were located in North America and 1 was located in Asia. As of March 28, 2009, all of these employees have been terminated.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded $1.1 million in restructuring charges which included $1.1 million for severance and benefits, $0.2 million for manufacturing transfer cost, and $(0.2) million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases. Forty one employees were notified for termination, 27 in manufacturing, 4 in research and development and 10 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 18 were located in North America and 23 were located in Asia. As of March 28, 2009, all of these employees have been terminated.

Our ability to generate sublease income, as well as our ability to terminate lease obligations at the amounts estimated, is highly dependent upon the economic conditions, particularly commercial real estate market conditions in certain geographies, at the time we negotiate the lease termination and sublease arrangements with third parties as well as the performances by such third parties of their respective obligations. While the amount we have accrued represents the best estimate of the remaining obligations we expect to incur in connection with these plans, estimates are subject to change. Routine adjustments are required and may be required in the future as conditions and facts change through the implementation period. Our restructuring obligations are net of sublease income or lease settlement estimates of approximately $7.4 million. If adverse macroeconomic conditions continue, particularly as they pertain to the commercial real estate market, or if, for any reason, tenants under subleases fail to perform their obligations, we may be required to reduce estimated future sublease income and adjust the estimated amounts of future settlement agreements, and accordingly, increase estimated cost to exit certain facilities. Amounts related to the lease expense, net of anticipated sublease proceeds, will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2018.

Interest and Other Income

During the three months ended March 28, 2009, interest and other income was $22.2 million, an increase of $7.1 million compared to the same period a year ago. The increase primarily relates to an increase in gains on repurchase and redemption of Convertible Debt of $17.5 million, offset by a decrease in interest income of $7.5 million due to lower interest rate and cash balances as a result of repurchases and redemption of debt and share buybacks in the intervening period as well as losses due to the revaluation of intercompany loan balances of $1.7 million.

During the nine months ended March 28, 2009, interest and other income was $56.6 million, an increase of $6.5 million compared to the same period a year ago. The increase primarily relates to the increase in gains on repurchase and redemption of Convertible Debt of $32.4 million, offset by a reduction in interest income of $23.3 million due to lower interest rates and lower invested cash balances.

Interest Expense

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, interest expense decreased by $0.3 million and $0.7 million compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to decreased amortization of the Zero and 1% coupon convertible notes resulting from the buybacks during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009.

Impairment of Investments

During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, the impairment charge related to investments was $2.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively, an increase of $2.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase is primarily due to the impairment of $13 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to a long-term investment recorded at cost due to the current significant weakening in market conditions.

Provision for Income Tax

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively. We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.4 million and an income tax expense of $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, respectively.

The income tax benefit recorded for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, primarily relates to income tax expense in certain foreign jurisdictions based on our forecasted pre-tax income for the year, and includes a tax benefit of $0.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively, as a result of the enactment of the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Act provides that taxpayers may elect to forego bonus depreciation on certain additions of qualified eligible property and, in turn, claim a refundable credit for a portion of their unused AMT and research credits. In addition, we recorded a tax benefit of zero and $3.2 million related to the book write off of tax deductible goodwill for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively.

The income tax benefit and income tax expense recorded for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions of $1.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, based on our forecasted pre-tax income for the year, and includes the recognition of $8.7 million of uncertain tax benefits relating to the expiration of a statute of limitations in a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the write off of $1.7 million of inventory related foreign deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents

The income tax expense recorded differs from the expected tax expense that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes primarily due to the increases in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our domestic and foreign losses from continuing operations.

On July 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). As of March 28, 2009 and June 28, 2008 our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $64.7 million and $71.9 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. We have $25.6 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 28, 2009.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, we changed the reporting structure to combine the All Others, Commercial Lasers business segment with the Optical Communications business segment and formed a new business segment, Communications and Commercial Optical Products. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, net revenue of $23.0 million and $65.1 million of the former All Others, Commercial Lasers segment is included in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2008, operating income of $0.9 million and operating loss of $1.9 million is included in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment.

The decrease in operating income for Communications Test & Measurement during the three and nine month period ended March 28, 2009 over the same quarter a year ago reflects a decline in demand due to the current significant weakening in market conditions and a decreased margin due to higher price discounts, offset by reductions in operating expenses driven by reduced personnel expenses arising from ongoing cost reduction initiatives and decreased variable expenses.

The decrease in operating income for Communications and Commercial Optical Products during the three month period ended March 28, 2009 over the same quarter a year ago is mainly due to the current significant weakening in market conditions. The decrease in operating income for the nine month period ended March 28, 2009 is mainly due to the current significant weakening in market conditions and a non recognition of Nortel revenue of $6.8 million with related cost of sales incurred in the period.

The decrease in operating income for Advanced Optical Technologies during the three month period ended March 28, 2009 over the same quarter a year ago is primarily due to incremental costs related to acquisition integration. The increase in operating income for Advanced Optical Technologies during the nine month period ended March 28, 2009 over the same period a year ago is mainly due to acquisition integration, increased demand for our Authentication Solutions Group products and relatively flat operating expense spending.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our investments of surplus cash are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In general, our investment policy requires that securities purchased be rated A-1/P-1, A/A2 or better. Securities that are downgraded subsequent to purchase are evaluated and may be sold or held at management’s discretion. No security may have an effective maturity that exceeds 37 months, and the average duration of our holdings may not exceed 18 months. At any time, no more than 5% of the investment portfolio may be concentrated in a single issuer other than the U.S. government or U.S. agencies. Our investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities are primarily classified as available-for-sale investments or trading assets and are recorded at fair value. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We did not hold any investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, or variable rate demand notes at March 28, 2009 and virtually all debt securities held were of investment grade (at least BBB-/Baa3). As of March 28, 2009, approximately 87% of our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were held in the U.S.

As of March 28, 2009, the majority of our investments of surplus cash have maturities of 90 days or less and are of high credit quality. Nevertheless, widening of market credit spreads and bid-ask spreads has impacted both pricing and liquidity of certain investment securities that we own. Although we intend to hold these investments to maturity, in the event that we are required to sell any of these securities under adverse market conditions, losses could be recognized on such sales. During the nine months ended March 28, 2009, we have recognized $18.4 million of investment losses, including $13.0 million of investment losses related to a long-term investment, approximately $3.2 million of investment losses due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and $2.2 million of losses due to other-than-temporary impairment of other investment securities, and can provide no assurances that the value or the liquidity of our other investments will not also be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. In addition, we maintain cash balances in operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail.

As of March 28, 2009, we had a combined balance of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash of $673.5 million, a decrease of $211.2 million from June 28, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $13.2 million in the nine month period ended March 28, 2009, primarily due to cash outflows from the use of $139.2 million to repurchase a portion of our Convertible Notes, the use of $86.8 million to repurchase common stock and the purchases of property, plant and equipment of $46.9 million offset by net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $187.7 million, cash generated by operating activities of $89.9 million, and cash inflows of $5.1 million from the issuance of stock under employee stock plans and the exercise of stock options .

Cash provided by operating activities was $89.9 million during the nine months ended March 28, 2009, resulting from our net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill and various gains and losses of $72.8 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $17.1 million related primarily to a decrease in accounts payable of $31.2 million, a decrease in other accrued liability of $25.3 million and a decrease in long-term income tax liabilities of $19.4 million, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $94.6 million.

Cash provided by operating activities was $132.7 million during the nine months ended March 29, 2008, resulting from our net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and various gains and losses of $140.5 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $7.8 million of cash related primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $6.6 million and a decrease in net deferred tax liabilities of $11.4 million, offset by a decrease in inventories of $25.5 million.

Cash provided by investing activities was $125.5 million during the nine months ended March 28, 2009, primarily related to net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $187.7 million, offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $46.9 million, the use of $12.0 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and purchases of long-term investments of $4.0 million.

Cash provided by investing activities was $90.2 million during the nine months ended March 29, 2008, primarily related to net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $191.0 million, offset by the use of $55.1 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, purchases of property, plant and equipment of $33.8 million and an increase in long term investments of $9.0 million.

Financing activities for the nine months ended March 28, 2009 used cash of $220.9 million, primarily related to the use of $139.2 million to repurchase a portion of our Convertible Notes and $86.8 million to repurchase common stock, offset by issuance of common stock under our employee stock option programs and employee stock plans of $5.1 million.

Financing activities for the nine months ended March 29, 2008 used cash of $167.6 million, resulting from the use of $213.8 million to repurchase a portion of the Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes, offset by the proceeds from a sale-leaseback transaction of $32.2 million and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock option programs and employee stock plans of $14.2 million.

We believe that our existing cash balances and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital spending requirements at least through the next 12 months. However, there are a number of factors that could impact our liquidity position, including:

 

   

current global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers;

 

   

the recent tendency of customers to delay payments to manage their own liquidity positions;

 

   

extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, and foreign exchange markets which impact the liquidity and valuation of our investment portfolios;

 

   

plans to restructure our business and manufacturing operations, including additional outsourcing to contract manufacturers; and

 

   

possible investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies.

We have in past periods consumed, and in the future we may consume, portions of our cash reserves to fund our operations. The amounts consumed to date, together with the amounts currently anticipated to be spent, are not expected to materially impair our financial condition. However, we may need to expend additional cash balances to fund unanticipated restructuring activities, acquisitions or other cash requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in rules promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Acquisitions

See “Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions” for more detail.

Employee Stock Options

Our stock option and Full Value Award programs are a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain employees and align stockholder and employee interests. See “Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation” for more detail.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We sponsor pension plans for certain past and present employees in the UK and Germany. JDSU also is responsible for the non-pension postretirement benefit obligation of a previously acquired subsidiary. These plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued. The plans are partially funded. SFAS No. 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of the pension plans and non-pension postretirement benefit plans (retirement-related benefit plans) as an asset or a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. SFAS No. 158 also requires the recognition of changes in that funded status in the year in which they occur through the gains and (losses) not affecting accumulated deficit, net of tax, and the recognition of previously unrecognized gains/(losses), prior service costs/(credits) and transition assets as a component of accumulated gains and (losses) not affecting accumulated deficit in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. The funded status of a retirement plan is the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of its plan assets. The projected benefit obligation is the actuarial present value of all benefits attributed by the plan’s benefit formula to employee service. At March 28, 2009, our pension plans were under funded by approximately $74.0 million since the projected benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of its plan assets. Similarly, we had accrued $0.8 million related to our non-pension postretirement benefit plan. Pension plan assets are managed professionally and we monitor the performance of our investment managers. As of March 28, 2009, the value of plan assets had decreased approximately 7% since June 28, 2008, our most recent fiscal year end.

A key actuarial assumption is the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the interest cost component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and, due to the fact that the accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) is calculated on a net present value basis, changes in the discount rate will also impact the current ABO. Decreases in the discount rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the ABO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider historical returns on plan assets, adjusted for forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of the active management of the plan’s invested assets. While it is not possible to accurately predict future rate movements, we believe our current assumptions are appropriate. See “Note 15. Employee Benefit Plans” for more detail.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivatives and other financial instruments are used to mitigate exposures subject to market risk. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We utilize foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments, including option contracts, to hedge foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily short-term certain intercompany receivables and payables. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reflected as other current assets or other current liabilities and the associated gains and losses are reflected in Interest and other income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. The gains and losses on those derivatives are expected to be offset by re-measurement gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near month end and therefore, the fair value of the contracts is approximately zero. The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward and option contracts outstanding as of March 28, 2009.

The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational financial institutions. We actively manage these counterparty exposures by seeking to diversify our hedge positions across multiple counterparties to avoid concentration of risk and by minimizing exposures to less creditworthy counterparties. Nevertheless, under current market conditions, failure of one or more of these financial institutions could result in incurred losses.

Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign exchange risks, we do not hedge all of our foreign currency exposures, and there can be no assurances that our mitigating activities related to the exposures that we do hedge will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

Investments

We maintain an investment portfolio in a variety of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, U.S. government and agency bonds, corporate obligations, money market funds, asset-backed securities, and other investment-grade securities. The majority of these investments pay a fixed rate of interest. The securities in the investment portfolio are subject to market price risk due to changes in interest rates, perceived issuer creditworthiness, marketability, and other factors. These investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Stockholders’ equity. We did not hold any investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized demand obligations, or variable rate demand notes at March 28, 2009.

Table of Contents

Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The fair market values of our fixed-rate securities decline if interest rates rise, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may be less than expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have experienced a decline in market value because of changes in interest rates.

Long-term Debt

Based on quoted market prices, as of March 28, 2009 and June 28, 2008, the fair market value of the 1% Senior Convertible Notes was approximately $205.6 million and $334.9 million, respectively, and the fair market value of the Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes was approximately $0.2 million and $80.8 million, respectively. Changes in fair market value reflect the change in the market price of the notes, see “Note 10. Convertible Debt and Letters of Credit”.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The material set forth in Note 20 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than with respect to the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2008.

Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions.

Economic conditions worldwide have from time to time contributed to slowdowns in the technology industry at large, as well as to the specific segments and markets in which we operate. When combined with ongoing customer consolidation activity and periodic manufacturing and inventory initiatives, the current uncertain macro-economic climate, including but not limited to the effects of deteriorating credit markets, could lead to reduced demand from our customers and increased price competition for our products, increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories and higher overhead costs as a percentage of revenue. Recent tightening of the credit markets may further negatively impact our operations by affecting the solvency of our customers, the solvency of our key suppliers or the ability of our customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products. If the global economy and credit markets continue to deteriorate and our future sales continue to decline, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

In addition, we have significant goodwill and intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet. We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our goodwill and intangible assets on an ongoing basis, and we may incur substantial impairment charges, which would adversely affect our financial results. There can be no assurance that the outcome of such reviews in the future will not result in substantial impairment charges. Impairment assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to prices, costs, holding periods or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe the assumptions we used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our assumptions could produce a significantly different result. If, in any period, our stock price decreases to the point where the fair value of the Company, as determined by our market capitalization, is less than our book value, this too could indicate a potential impairment and we may be required to record an impairment charge in that period.
