NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information for the Company (or “JDSU”) as of October 2, 2010 and for the three months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 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 for the year ended July 3, 2010.

The balance sheet as of July 3, 2010 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 months ended October 2, 2010 may not be indicative of results for the year ending July 2, 2011 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.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company sold certain non-core assets related to its wholly owned subsidiary da Vinci Systems LLC (“da Vinci”). Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements pertain to continuing operations. For additional information, see “Note 19. Discontinued Operations.”

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, the reported amount of net revenue and expenses and the disclosure of commitments and contingencies during the reporting periods. 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 consists of the accumulated net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, foreign currency translation adjustments, and defined benefit obligation.

Note 2. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance clarifying that share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The guidance is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that applies to arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”) is unavailable. In addition, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which removes non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products from the scope of existing software revenue guidance, resulting in the recognition of revenue similar to that for other tangible products. The Company adopted these standards at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2011 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified on or after July 4, 2010.

Update to Significant Accounting Policies

Starting in fiscal 2011, when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements and software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on the relative selling price of each element. Under this approach, the selling price of a deliverable is determined by using a selling price hierarchy which requires the use of Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value if available, third party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

The Company establishes VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and, in rare instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating similar and interchangeable competitor goods or services in sales to similarly situated customers. When VSOE or TPE are not available the Company uses BESP. The Company establishes BESP using historical selling price trends and considering multiple factors including, but not limited to geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices. When determining BESP, the Company’s management applies judgment when establishing pricing strategies and evaluating market conditions and product lifecycles. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company’s Segment management. The Company may modify or develop new pricing practices and strategies in the future. As these pricing strategies evolve, the Company may modify our pricing practices in the future, which may result in changes in BESP. The aforementioned factors may result in a different allocation of revenue to the deliverables in multiple element arrangements from the current fiscal quarter, which may change the pattern and timing of revenue recognition for these elements but will not change the total revenue recognized for the arrangement.

The adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the three months ended October 2, 2010.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended October 2, 2010 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, with the exception of our accounting policy for revenue recognition.

Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions

Network Solutions Division of Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“NSD”)

In May 2010, the Company purchased NSD from Agilent Technologies, Inc. for a total purchase price consideration of approximately $163.8 million. NSD is included in the Company’s Communications Test and Measurement segment.

The Company adopted the new authoritative guidance on business combinations during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and the acquisition was accounted for in accordance with this guidance; therefore, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.

Note 5. Financing Obligations

Santa Rosa

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 the authoritative guidance on leases and sales of real estate.

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 the authoritative guidance on guarantees. The present value of the guarantee approximates the liability of $0.5 million which was included in Other non-current liabilities as of October 2, 2010.

As of October 2, 2010, of the total financing obligation related to Santa Rosa, $0.7 million was included in Other current liabilities, and $30.0 million was included in Other non-current liabilities. As of July 3, 2010, $0.6 million was included in Other current liabilities, and $30.2 million was included in Other non-current liabilities.

The lease payments due under the agreements reset to fair market rental rates upon the Company’s execution of the renewal options.

Payment Plan Agreement – Software Licenses

During fiscal 2009, the Company capitalized approximately $11.1 million of cost incurred for the purchase of perpetual software licenses, in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance. The Company recorded the total amount capitalized as Property Plant and Equipment and amortizes the amount over the useful life of the license, generally five years, using the straight-line method. The Company also entered into a three-year payment plan agreement (“PPA”) with the supplier. Under this PPA, payments are made on a quarterly basis starting the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The principal portion of the payment is accounted for as financing activity and the remaining interest portion is accounted for as operating activity for cash flow purposes.

During the three months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.6 million in each respective period.

As of October 2, 2010, future minimum financing payments of the various leases and financing obligation are as follows (in millions):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

The Company’s cash and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.

 

   

Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets. Level 1 assets of the Company include money market funds and U.S. Treasury and Agency securities as they are traded in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

 

   

Level 2 includes financial instruments for which the valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 instruments of the Company include certain U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, corporate and municipal bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, money market funds, and foreign currency forward contracts. To estimate their fair value, the Company utilizes pricing models based on market data. The significant inputs for the valuation model usually include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker and dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, and industry and economic events.

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.

During the three months ended October 2, 2010, the Company did not have material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value instruments.

As of July 3, 2010 and during the three months ended October 2, 2010 the company held no Level 3 investments. Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments to manage foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign-currency transactions.

The forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near month end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts as of both October 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010, is approximately zero.

Note 7. Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill balance as of October 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010 was $66.0 million which consisted of $57.7 million of goodwill in the Communications and Test Measurement segment and $8.3 million of goodwill in the Advanced Optical Technologies segment.

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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company completed the annual impairment test of goodwill, which indicated that there was no goodwill impairment. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the three months ended October 2, 2010, which triggered an impairment review.

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

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of October 2, 2010.

1% Senior Convertible Notes

On June 5, 2006, the Company completed an offering of $425 million aggregate principal amount of 1% Senior Convertible Notes due 2026. Proceeds from the notes amounted to $415.9 million after issuance costs. The notes bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year and are convertible into a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $30.30 per share. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2006. The notes mature on May 15, 2026.

Pursuant to the indenture, holders of the notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the notes on each of May 15, 2013, May 15, 2016 and May 15, 2021 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date. In addition, upon certain fundamental changes, holders may require the Company to purchase for cash the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date. The Company may not redeem the notes before May 20, 2013. On or after that date, the Company may redeem all or part of the notes for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Company calculated the carrying value of the liability component at issuance as the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 8.1%, based on the 7-year swap rate plus credit spread as of the issuance date. The credit spread for JDSU is based on the historical average “yield to worst” rate for BB-rated issuers. The carrying value of the liability component was determined to be $266.5 million. The equity component, or debt discount, of the notes was determined to be $158.5 million. The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate of 8.1% over the period from issuance date through May 15, 2013 as a non-cash charge to interest expense. As of October 2, 2010, the remaining term of the 1% Senior Convertible Notes is 2.6 years.

The $9.1 million of costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the notes were capitalized and bifurcated into debt issuance cost of $5.7 million and equity issuance cost of $3.4 million. The debt issuance cost is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method from issuance date through May 15, 2013. As of October 2, 2010, the unamortized portion of the debt issuance cost related to the notes was $1.9 million and was included in Other current assets and Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of October 2, 2010, the Company’s total restructuring accrual was $10.6 million. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $0.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded $0.3 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are a continuation of the previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily of the following: (i) $0.2 million for severance and benefits primarily in the Communications Test and Measurement segment and relates to the continued implementation of the EMEA early retirement program; (ii) $0.8 million for manufacturing transfer costs primarily in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment and Communications Test and Measurement segment which were the result of production site closures in the US, the transfer of certain production processes into existing sites in US, and the reduction in force of the Company’s manufacturing support organization across all sites; and (iii) $0.7 million benefit primarily to adjust the accrual for previously restructured leases in the Communications Test and Measurement segment which were the result of the Company’s continued efforts to reduce and/or consolidate manufacturing locations. No new employees were notified for termination during the three months ended October 2, 2010. During the three months ended October 2, 2010, fifteen employees were terminated from previously announced restructured plans. Payments related to lease costs are expected to be paid by second quarter of fiscal 2012.

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.

As of October 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010 the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $60.1 million and $65.2 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. The Company had $22.9 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at October 2, 2010.

As of October 2, 2010, common stock available for grant was 4.8 million shares for these awards.

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.

Full Value Awards

“Full Value Awards” refer to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units, Performance Units, and Performance Shares that are granted with the exercise price equal to zero and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. These Full Value Awards are performance based, time based, or a combination of performance and time based and expected to vest over one to four years. The fair value of the Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award.

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested Full Value Awards as of October 2, 2010 and changes during the same period is presented below (amounts in millions, except per share amounts):

As of October 2, 2010, $47.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to Full Value Awards remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of 2.3 years.

Full Value Awards are converted into shares upon vesting. Shares equivalent in value to the minimum withholding taxes liability on the vested shares are withheld by the Company for the payment.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options with service conditions and ESPP using a Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) valuation model. The fair value is estimated on the date of grant using the BSM option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     Employee Stock Option Plans     Employee Stock Purchase Plans  
     Three Months Ended     Three Months Ended  
     October 2,

     0.00     0.00     0.00     0.00

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company granted 555,000 shares of stock options with market conditions for which the fair value is estimated on the date of grant using the Lattice valuation model.

Note 13. 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. Most of the plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for the plans assumed during fiscal 2010 in connection with the NSD acquisition. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service. As of October 2, 2010 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. The Company anticipates making a contribution of approximately $0.3 million during fiscal 2011. 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 2011. The funded plan assets consist primarily of managed investments.

Net periodic benefit cost

   $ 1.1      $ 1.0   
                

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 $5.0 million related to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2011 to make current benefit payments and fund future obligations. As of October 2, 2010, approximately $0.9 million had been incurred. These payments have been estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s projected benefit obligation (PBO) at July 3, 2010.

Note 14. Related Party Transactions

Fabrinet Inc. (“Fabrinet”)

During fiscal 2010 the Company held an investment in Fabrinet Inc., a publicly held contract manufacturing company which is both a customer and supplier. The purchases and sales of items between the Company and Fabrinet have been evaluated for accounting under the authoritative guidance on consideration given by a vendor to a customer or a reseller of the vendor’s products. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that there is an identifiable benefit that was sufficiently separable from the customer’s purchase of the Company’s products and the fair value of that benefit was reasonably estimable in relation to sales to other third parties.

As of July 3, 2010 the Company still owned 393,150 shares of Fabrinet’s common stock that was reported as short-term available-for-sale investment. Since our management subsequently sold the remaining shares on July 6, 2010 Fabrinet was no longer a related party of the Company from that date forward. The Company did not engage in any material transactions with Fabrinet between July 4, 2010 and July 6, 2010, the period in fiscal 2011 when Fabrinet was a related party.

During the three months ended October 3, 2009, the Company’s sales and purchase totals with Fabrinet were $2.5 million and $14.0 million, respectively. As of October 3, 2009, the Company’s receivable and payable balances with Fabrinet were $1.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

Tax Matters

The Company has been subject to Texas franchise tax audits related to allocated taxable surplus capital for Texas report years 2001 through 2006. 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 $34.2 million, plus interest and penalties.

Note 16. Operating Segments and Geographic Information

The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Waechter, is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) pursuant to the guidance. The CODM allocates resources to the segments based on their business prospects, competitive factors, net revenue, and operating results.

Note 17. Guarantees

In accordance with authoritative guidance which requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a tabular reconciliation of the changes of the entity’s product warranty liabilities, are required.

Product Warranties

In general, the Company offers a three-month to one-year warranty for most of its products. For certain products and our customers, the Company provides a two to seven-year warranty. The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise with specific products. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Other Guarantees

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.

The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on its balance sheet as of October 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010.

Note 18. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a variety of 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 cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.

Note 19. Discontinued Operations

On September 4, 2009, the Company sold certain non-core assets related to its wholly owned subsidiary da Vinci Systems LLC (“da Vinci”). Da Vinci represented a separate component of the Communications Test and Measurement segment and is considered as discontinued operations for financial reporting purposes. The sale generated total gross proceeds of $2.5 million and a gain of $0.2 million, which was recognized in the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The Company transferred net liabilities of $0.1 million, which was comprised of $1.0 million in net property plant and equipment, $1.0 million in deferred revenue, and $0.1 million in warranty reserve. Net revenue for the three months ended October 3, 2009 was $0.8 million. Net loss for the three months ended October 3, 2009 was $1.4 million. Total loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended October 3, 2009 was $1.2 million. There is no tax effect associated with this transaction.

Note 20. Subsequent Events

On November 11, 2009, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved a one-time, value-for-value stock options exchange program (the “Exchange Program”) for the Company’s eligible employees’ to surrender certain outstanding stock options in exchange for (i) a lesser number of new restricted stock units (“RSUs”), (ii) a lesser number of replacement options if such eligible employees are residents of Canada, or (iii) cash if such eligible employees would receive in the aggregate less than 100 RSUs or less than 100 replacement options. The Company made an Offer to Exchange Certain Stock Options for a Number of Restricted Stock Units, Replacement Options or Cash (the “Offer to Exchange”) on October 6, 2010 and completed the Offer to Exchange on November 5, 2010. Pursuant to the Offer to Exchange, 3.6 million eligible stock options were tendered, representing approximately 83% of the total stock options eligible for exchange. The Company granted a total of 230,494 new RSUs and 64,763 replacement options in exchange for the eligible stock options surrendered. The grant date fair value of the new RSUs and the exercise price of the new stock options is $11.40, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 5, 2010 as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company does not expect the modification charge resulting from the option exchange program to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements in subsequent periods.

RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended October 2, 2010 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, with the exception of our accounting policy for revenue recognition on multi-element arrangements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued new revenue recognition accounting standards with respect to certain software-enabled products and multiple-element arrangements. The Company adopted these standards at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2011 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified on or after July 4, 2010. For transactions entered into prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, revenues will continue to be recognized based on prior revenue recognition guidance.

Starting in fiscal 2011, when a sales arrangement contains multiple elements and software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on the relative selling price of each element. Under this approach, the selling price of a deliverable is determined by using a selling price hierarchy which requires the use of Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value if available, third party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

The Company establishes VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and, in rare instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating similar and interchangeable competitor goods or services in sales to similarly situated customers. When VSOE or TPE are not available the Company uses BESP. The Company establishes BESP using historical selling price trends and considering multiple factors including, but not limited to geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices. When determining BESP, the Company’s management applies judgment when establishing pricing strategies and evaluating market conditions and product lifecycles. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company’s Segment management. The Company may modify or develop new pricing practices and strategies in the future. As these pricing strategies evolve, the Company may modify our pricing practices in the future, which may result in changes in BESP. The aforementioned factors may result in a different allocation of revenue to the deliverables in multiple element arrangements from the current fiscal quarter, which may change the pattern and timing of revenue recognition for these elements but will not change the total revenue recognized for the arrangement.

The adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the three months ended October 2, 2010.

Net Revenue

Net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $107.4 million, or 36%, to $405.2 million from $297.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase is primarily due to an increased demand for our Communications and Commercial Optical Products and Communications Test and Measurement products. The growth in our Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“CCOP”) primarily resulted from an increase in demand for our Circuit Packs, Commercial Diode Lasers, Solid State Lasers, and Tunable product lines. The increase in our Communications Test and Measurement segment came primarily from the acquisition of the Network Solutions Division business (“NSD”) as well as increased demand for our Instruments business. Our Advanced Optical Technologies business also experienced moderate growth from the first quarter of last year.

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 CCOP markets, due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing Asian competition, excess device manufacturing capacity within the communications and commercial optical industry and a general commoditization trend for many of our products; (b) high product mix variability, particularly in our CCOP markets, 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; and (d) continuing service provider business model uncertainty, which causes demand, revenue and profitability measure unpredictability at each level of the communications industry. Moreover, the current trend of communications industry consolidations is expected to continue, directly affecting our CCOP and Communications Test and Measurement’s customer base and adding additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business predictability.

Our program of 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

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $56.2 million, 48%, to $173.3 million from $117.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to: improved profitability from the outsourcing of our Commercial Lasers product manufacturing as well as the increase in volume of Circuit Packs, Commercial Diode Lasers, and tunable product lines in our Communications and Commercial Optical Products; and the acquisition of the Network Solutions Division business (“NSD”) as well as improved gross margins resulting from the introduction of our ONT 100G product line in our Communications Test and Measurement segment. Gross profit increased slightly in the Advanced Optical Technologies group due to higher volumes in our Flex and Custom Optics businesses. Gross profit excluding amortization expense of acquired developed technologies in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $58.0 million or 45%, to $187.4 million from $129.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

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 limited production manufacturers with adequate capabilities, 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”)

R&D expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased $16.6 million, or 42%, to $56.4 million from $39.8 million in the same period a year ago. As a percentage of revenue, R&D expense increased slightly from 13% to 14%. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of the Network Solutions Division business (“NSD”) and its associated R&D costs as well as an increased focus on developing new product platforms to drive future growth.

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 can impact 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.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 16%, or $14.5 million to $107.2 million, from $92.7 million in the same period a year ago. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense decreased to 26% compared to 31% in the same period a year ago. The increase is in SG&A Expense is primarily due to the acquisition of the Network Solutions Division business (“NSD”) and its associated SG&A expenses, along with higher sales commissions due to increased revenues.

We intend to continue to address our SG&A expenses and reduce these expenses as a percentage of revenue. 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.

Restructuring and Related Charges

The Company continues to take advantage of opportunities to further reduce costs through targeted restructuring events intended to consolidate the Company and rationalize the manufacturing of its products based on core competencies and cost efficiencies, together with the need to align the business in response to the market conditions. As of October 2, 2010, the Company’s total restructuring accrual was $10.6 million. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, the Company incurred restructuring expenses of $0.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded $0.3 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are a continuation of the previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily of the following: (i) $0.2 million for severance and benefits primarily in the Communications Test and Measurement segment and relates to the continued implementation of the EMEA early retirement program; (ii) $0.8 million for manufacturing transfer costs primarily in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment and Communications Test and Measurement segment which were the result of production site closures in the US, the transfer of certain production processes into existing sites in US, and the reduction in force of the Company’s manufacturing support organization across all sites; and (iii) $0.7 million benefit primarily to adjust the accrual for previously restructured leases in the Communications Test and Measurement segment which were the result of the Company’s continued efforts to reduce and/or consolidate manufacturing locations. No new employees were notified for termination during the three months ended October 2, 2010. During the three months ended October 2, 2010, fifteen employees were terminated from previously announced restructured plans. Payments related to lease costs are expected to be paid by second quarter of fiscal 2012.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded $3.4 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges were primarily the result of the following: (i) $1.8 million for severance and benefits primarily in the Communications Test and Measurement segment; (ii) $0.3 million for manufacturing transfer costs primarily in the Communications Test and Measurement segment; and (iii) $1.3 million to adjust the accrual for previously restructured leases, primarily in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment. Forty two employees were notified for termination, ten in manufacturing, twenty seven in research and development and five in sales, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 35 were located in North America, one was located in Latin America four were located in Asia and two were located in Europe. As of October 2, 2010, thirty six of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid off by the end of fiscal 2011. Payments related to lease costs are expected to be paid by second quarter of fiscal 2012.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded $18.5 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are primarily of the following: (i) $10.4 million for severance and benefits primarily in the Communications Test and Measurement segment; (ii) $4.7 million for manufacturing transfer cost primarily in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment; and (iii) $3.4 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases primarily for the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment. Two hundred and fifty seven employees were notified for termination, 104 in manufacturing, 58 in research and development and 95 in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 139 were located in North America, 30 were located in Asia, and 88 were located in Europe. As of October 2, 2010, 195 of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid by the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded $2.6 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are primarily of the following: (i) $2.0 million for severance and benefits primarily in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment, which were the result of the closure of Lasers manufacturing in San Jose, California related to transfer and consolidation into a contract manufacturer in Asia, and the closure of a site in Louisville, Colorado for further consolidation; (ii) $0.2 million for manufacturing transfer cost primarily in the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment; and (iii) $0.4 million to adjust accruals on previously restructured leases primarily for the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment. Two hundred and three employees were notified for termination, 181 in manufacturing, 19 in research and development and three in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, 200 were located in North America, two were located in Asia, and one was located in Europe. As of October 2, 2010, 181 of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid by the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded $3.7 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are primarily of the following: (i) $3.4 million for severance and benefits primarily in the Communications Test and Measurement segment; and (iii) $0.3 million on leases primarily for the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment. Thirty two employees were notified for termination, seven in manufacturing, fourteen in research and development and eleven in selling, general and administrative functions. Of these notified employees, nineteen were located in North America, one was located in Asia, and twelve were located in Europe. As of October 2, 2010, 22 of these employees have been terminated. Payments related to severance and benefits are expected to be paid by fiscal 2013. Payments related to lease costs are expected to be paid by third quarter of fiscal 2018. In addition during fiscal 2008, the Company also recorded a lease exit charge, net of assumed sub-lease income, of $5.4 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.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

During the three months ended October 2, 2010, interest and other income (expense), net was $0.3 million, a decrease of $2.9 million compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease relates to a reduction in interest income of $0.9 million, primarily due to lower interest rates and lower invested cash balances, and a decrease of $2.0 million in dividend income related to an investment accounted for under the cost method.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended October 2, 2010, interest expense was $6.3 million, an increase of $0.4 million compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the increase of amortized debt discount cost.

Provision for Income Tax

We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.1 million and an income tax expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009, respectively.

The income tax expense recorded for the three months ended October 2, 2010 and October 3, 2009 primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on our forecasted pre-tax income for the year and in connection with the three months ended October 2, 2010 includes the recognition of $4.5 million of uncertain tax benefits relating to the effective settlement of tax matters in non-US jurisdictions.

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.

As of October 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $60.1 million and $65.2 million, respectively and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. We have $22.9 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at October 2, 2010.

The increase in operating income for Communications Test & Measurement during the three month period ended October 2, 2010 over the same quarter a year ago reflects the acquisition of the Network Solutions Division business (“NSD”), which generated approximately $24 million revenue during the three months ended October 3, 2010, as well as improved gross margins resulting from the introduction of our ONT 100G product line.

The increase in operating income for Communications and Commercial Optical Products during the three month period ended October 2, 2010 over the same quarter a year ago is due to the full effect of cost reduction initiatives undertaken early in fiscal year 2010, the growth in revenues in virtually every product line, and the introduction of new product platforms which improved the profitability of our portfolio.

The increase in operating income for Advanced Optical Technologies during the three month period ended October 2, 2010 over the same quarter a year ago reflects the increased demand in our Custom Optics group along with tight control of operating expenses.

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 October 2, 2010 and virtually all debt securities held were of investment grade (at least BBB-/Baa3). As of October 2, 2010, approximately 85% of our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were held in the U.S.

As of October 2, 2010, 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 the Company owns. 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 first quarter of fiscal 2011 we have not realized investment losses but can provide no assurances that the value or the liquidity of our investments will not 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 October 2, 2010, we had a combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash of $620.0 million, an increase of $19.9 million from July 3, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $30.1 million in the three month period ended October 2, 2010, primarily due to the cash generated by operating activities of $35.7 million, cash inflows from the net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $11.3 million, $5.9 million from the exercise of stock options and the issuances of stock under employee stock plans offset by the use of $23.3 million for the purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Cash provided by operating activities was $35.7 million during the three months ended October 2, 2010, resulting from our net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and various gains and losses of $50.1 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $14.4 million related primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $19.2 million, a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $10.0 million, an increase in inventory of $7.7 million offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $20.6 million, and a decrease in other current assets of $10.2 million.

Cash provided by operating activities was $17.1 million during the three months ended October 3, 2009, resulting from our net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and various gains and losses of $12.8 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that provided $4.3 million related primarily to a decrease in inventory of $12.4 million and a decrease in other current assets of $10.1 million offset by a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $8.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $4.6 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $3.2 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $0.8 million.

Investing activities for the three months ended October 2, 2010 used $13.0 million, primarily related to cash used for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $23.3 million, and an increase in restricted cash of $1.6 million offset by the net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $11.3 million.

Cash used by investing activities was $57.2 million during the three months ended October 3, 2009, primarily related to cash used for acquisitions of $42.7 million, an increase in restricted cash of $14.3 million, purchases of property, plant and equipment of $5.9 million offset by the net proceeds from sales and maturities of investments of $2.5 million and dividends received of $2.0 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was $4.0 million during the three months ended October 2, 2010, primarily related to the issuance of common stock under our employee stock option programs and employee stock plans of $5.9 million offset by payments on capital lease obligations of $1.9 million.

Financing activities for the three months ended October 3, 2009 provided cash of $0.3 million, primarily related to the issuance of common stock under our employee stock option programs, and our employee stock plans provided $2.1 million which were partially offset by payments on capital lease obligations of $1.8 million.

Table of Contents

 

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:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standard indemnification arrangements. Pursuant to these arrangements, we indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with a trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by a third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual anytime after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against us in future periods, but have not yet been made. To date, we have not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.

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 12. 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. Most of these plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for the plans assumed during fiscal 2010 in connection with the NSD acquisition. The UK plan is partially funded and the German plans, which were established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. The authoritative guidance 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 Balance Sheet. The authoritative guidance also requires the recognition of changes in that funded status in the year in which they occur through the Gains and (losses) not affecting retained earnings, 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 retained earnings. 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 October 2, 2010, our pension plans were under funded by $89.5 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 October 2, 2010, the value of plan assets had increased approximately 7.6% since July 3, 2010, 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. We estimate a 50 basis point decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the ABO of approximately $6.0 million based upon July 3, 2010 data.

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. Please refer to “Note 13. Employee Defined Benefit Plans” for further discussion.

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 contracts outstanding as of October 2, 2010.

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 October 2, 2010.

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

The fair market value of the Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes and the 1% Senior Convertible Notes is subject to interest rate and market price risk due to the convertible feature of the notes and other factors. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The fair market value of the notes may also increase as the market price of JDSU stock rises and decrease as the market price of the stock falls. Interest rate and market value changes affect the fair market value of the notes but do not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Based on quoted market prices, as of October 2, 2010 and July 3, 2010, the fair market values of the Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes were approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million and the fair market values of the 1% Senior Convertible Notes were $305.5 million and $289.7 million, respectively. Changes in fair market value reflect the change in the market price of the notes. For additional information, see “Note 9. Convertible Debt and Letters of Credit”.
