High Liquidity

Established in 1991, Optical Communication Products is a growing company in the high-speed, fiber-optics market. It is a sub-assembly manufacturer for major telecommunications equipment companies offering a variety of products such as transmitters, receivers, and transceivers. Its strategy calls for an expanded product offering and broader geographic penetration of the fiber optic universe.

The company has built a strategic cash position of nearly $104 million as of June 30, 2007.

II. New Management Team.  The Founders of the Company, having brought in a new management team, have now moved out of operations.  Philip F. Otto is Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Frederic T. Boyer has become Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  Dr. Jacob Tarn, who formerly headed GigaComm, acquired in August 2006, now heads all of the Company’s operations in Asia.

III. Asia Number One.  Under new management, the Company has rapidly expanded its operations in the Asia telecommunications market which management considers to be the most dynamic market in the world.  It now has a separate General Manager for Asia, new headquarters in Taiwan, a design center in Taiwan, a leading market position in fiber-to-the-home in Japan, and high volume manufacturing operations in China through its partnership with SAE, a subsidiary of TDK.  The Company’s initial financing came from Furukawa in Japan, which today holds a 58.2% interest in the Company.

IV. Strong Financial Position.  The Company has nurtured its financial strength and has a balance sheet that is one of the strongest amongst its peers.  As of June 30, 2007, it has nearly $104 million cash and no debt.  Current management has programs in place to increase inventory turns and increase cash flow.

V Gross Margin Improvement Program.  Management has launched a series of initiatives to bolster margins which have been under pressure throughout the optical components sector.  This includes weeding out older, low margin products; introducing newer, higher margin products under its speed-to-market program; moving volume production to China; adding a second, wholly-owned, cheaper source for lasers in Taiwan; better re-designing products for more economical production; carefully selecting slices of its marketplace that offer more acceptable margins.

Company Press Release -- August 20, 2007

Optical Communication Products announced that revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rose 15% over the year-earlier quarter and that the backlog at June 30 of $11.0 million was up from $7.7 million as of March 31, 2007. A 6.6% gross margin, though below last year’s level, showed sequential improvement from the prior quarter. A jump in operating expenses included costs related to transitioning manufacturing operations to China, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge and stock-based compensation expenses. As a result of the increased charges, a net loss of $8.6 million ($0.08 per diluted share) was realized. The company ended the quarter with $103.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no long-term debt.

The company also reports that the planned acquisition of the company by Oplink should close by October 2007 at which time it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Oplink. In other related news, Optical reports that Joseph Y. Liu, president and CEO of Oplink, was elected non-executive chairman of the board of Optical Communication Products effective August 1, 2007.

Company Press Release -- June 20, 2007

Optical Communication Products announced that the board of directors has unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement that will allow Oplink to acquire the 41.9% of OCP’s shares that remain outstanding following Oplink’s earlier purchase of Furukawa’s 58.1% stake. Oplink will pay $1.65 per share. Upon completion of the merger, OCP will be wholly-owned by Oplink. “This transaction is expected to close by September 2007, with the exact timing dependent on the review and clearance of necessary filings by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). OCP will file proxy materials with the SEC for a special meeting of stockholders to vote on the proposed merger. . . . Investors will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and white proxy card (when available) as well as other filed documents containing information about OCP at http://www.sec.gov, the SEC's Web site. Free copies of OCP's SEC filings are also available on the investor relations portion of OCP's web site at www.ocp-inc.com.”

Company Press Releases -- May 18 & 29, 2007

On May 18, it was reported that a Delaware Court had denied Oplink’s efforts to expedite a lawsuit that it had filed challenging OCP’s Speical Board Committee’s decision to implement a 30-day shareholder rights plan. Oplink in late April had entered an agreement with majority shareholder Furukawa to buy Furukawa’s 58.1% interest in OCP. Following on the 29th of May, it was announced that Furakawa had submitted its plans to amend OCP’s bylaws so as to add four new Furukawa directors, thus bringing Furukawa a majority on OCP’s Board and facilitating its plan to consummate the sales of its 66 million shares to Oplink. “The effective date of this action is the earlier of July 4, 2007 or 20 days following the mailing of an Information Statement to shareholders from OCP. Furukawa informed the company on May 25, 2007.”

Company Press Release -- May 15, 2007

Optical Communication Products announced second quarter fiscal 2007 results that reflect the company’s ongoing turnaround plan that is targeting a return to gross margins in excess of 30%. Results in the second quarter, however, were squeezed by costs related to downsizing the workforce, moving manufacturing operation to China as well as lower average selling prices from its older product lines and softness in the Japanese fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) market. An impairment analysis also concluded that the company needed to write down $8.5 million of goodwill. As a result of these adverse events, the company reported a loss for the second quarter of $17 million or $0.15 per diluted share. The company was able to retain nearly $117 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no long-term debt. Management is now forecasting fiscal 2007 revenue to be between $65 to $70 million and a gross margin of 10%-12%. CEO Philip F. Otto comments, “When we launched our turnaround plan, we said we expected margin volatility and significant transition-related charges throughout fiscal 2007,” Otto continued. “Our second quarter results, however, also reflected industry-wide price erosion and softening of the FTTH market in Japan.” He further states, “We also took a number of actions in the second quarter that resulted in additional charges and write downs that management deemed necessary to reflect our current business operations and asset valuation. These actions further support the fundamental changes that we have been making in the way OCP operates its business.”

Management also provides a quick update on Oplink’s proposed takeover of Optical by, in addition to paying Furakawa $1.5 per share for Furakawa’s 58.1% stake, offering minority shareholders the same $1.5 per share.

Company Press Release -- May 4, 2007

Optical Communication Products’ special Board committee has adopted a 30-day shareholder rights plan as a “a precautionary measure to protect our shareholders while we carefully evaluate Oplink's unsolicited offer to acquire OCP's minority shares.” The plan will be effected by a “dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of OCP Common Stock to shareholders of record as of May 14, 2007.” The rights, which will expire on June 2, can be exercised “under three specific conditions: the closing of Oplink's purchase of Furukawa's 58.2% ownership interest in OCP, the acquisition of more than 15% of OCP's outstanding common stock by a third party, or the acquisition of any additional shares by Furukawa or Oplink.”

Company Press Release -- April 25, 2007

Optical Communication Products has assembled a special committee of the Board of Directors to evaluate a proposed acquisition of the company by Oplink Communications (NASDAQ: OPLK). Oplink has entered into an agreement to buy Furukawa’s 58.2% interest in OCPI at $1.50 per share and has proposed to purchase the remaining outstanding shares via a merger equal to a cash purchase price of $1.50 per share.

OCPI has been involved in a major strategic restructuring – to include renovating its product, shifting production to China, securing its own laser supply, and centering more of the Company's activities in Asia.  Many in the investment community realize that it is taking steps to add sustainable shareholder value that is not reflected in its current valuation.

The Wall Street Journal -- June 19, 2006; page A2; by Henny Sender

In what Henny Sender describes as a “reverse transfer of human technology,” Japan-based TDK is learning that there is more to manufacturing in China than low costs. While the leader of TDK’s SAE subsidiary in China acknowledges that the unit’s costs would be “10 times higher” without its manufacturing operations in Guangdong, there are other, perhaps equally important, advantages. For example, a “more open style of communication” that encourages “younger people to speak up more boldly” provides for a more “candid exchange of ideas” and “swifter” decision making. Engineers are also more directly rewarded with bonuses when they influence the bottom line. OCPI has partnered with TDK’s SAE Chinese subsidiary to do all of its volume manufacturing as part of OCPI’s efforts to focus its activities in Asia.

USA Today -- March 1, 2007; by Leslie Cauley

In a merger between high tech and old tech, Leslie Cauley reports on the day in the life of Verizon linemen working to rollout the company’s ambitious $23 billion ($18 billion net of maintenance savings) fiber-to-the-home network. The project will “replace hundreds of thousands of miles of copper phone lines with cutting-edge fiber-optic technology” making “fiber-optic broadband connections available to 18 million households by 2010.” In “one of the most ambitious engineering projects in contemporary America,” Verizon has sent out legions of workers to trudge through the backyards of America to make the final connection that will facilitate “an endless array of phone, high-speed data and video services, including high-definition TV.” Ms. Cauley reports that, “Data services can be delivered at mind-bending speeds of 100 megabits per second or more. (Fiber optic service) has nearly unlimited capacity for video, which is transmitted via a separate, dedicated wavelength. That way, Verizon says, video can't interfere with data transmissions, and vice versa.” She further relates that, “Joe Savage, president of the Fiber to the Home Council of North America, a trade group of supplier companies, says America's appetite for broadband is exploding. It has expanded 100-fold since the mid-1990s, he notes. His group predicts it will increase by that much again by 2020.”

Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Microphotonics Center

The Microphotonics Center (MPhC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a research community that is working to facilitate academic and industrial collaboration in applied microphotonics. Photonics refers to the use of the fundamental particles of light, the essential technology behind fiber-optic communications systems. Able to carry the equivalent of 30 million simultaneous telephone calls, photonics is the enabling technology for fully interactive, multimedia Internet services.

The principal mechanism that the MPhC uses to facilitate its mission is the Microphotonics Center Consortium, a “proactive forum where scientists, engineers, and strategists from industry and MIT can work as partners to explore and create innovative microphotonics research and development activities and opportunities.” One of the first efforts of the Consortium was to publish the MIT Communications Technology Roadmap (CTR), a program commissioned in 2000 to examine the varied technologies influencing the telecommunications industry.

According to an MIT release, “the optical components industry stands at the threshold of a major expansion that will restructure its business processes and sustain its profitability for the next three decades. The realization of optical transmission networks will allow any connected individual to access vast computational resources. Unbounded applications, not dependent upon local storage or processing, will be limited only by the imaginations of those who create them. Many of the current economic and distribution barriers between intellectual property owners and end-users will evaporate. The effect of such technology on transportation, commerce, education, entertainment, social interaction, and government will be dramatic. For instance, one only needs to look at the world ten years ago to understand the social impact of the cell phone. The shift to a real-time wide band network promises the same dramatic social effect.”

Key findings of the Communications Technology Roadmap include:

• The future of components technology will be determined by electronic-photonic convergence and short (<1 km) reach interconnection.

• This direction is triggering a major shift in the leadership of the component industry from information transmission (telecom) to information processing (computing, imaging).

• The skill set required for this path does not exist at any single institution.

• A precompetitive R&D Consortium should be established to create the new competence and to recommend standards.

The Wall Street Journal --February 14, 2007; page A1; by Bobby White

“An explosion in online video and other bandwidth-hungry Internet services” is forcing telcom companies into another spending wave on infrastructure products, according to a recent page 1 Wall Street Journal article.  The article’s author, Bobby White, points out that the “dramatic change” in customer usage is benefiting large and small suppliers alike in a spending wave that appears “likely to continue for at least a while.” Quoting Infonetics Research, Mr. White writes that the “Overall, North American telcom companies are projected to spend $70 billion on new infrastructure this year. While that's down from the $110 billion they shelled out during the boom year of 2000, it's up 67% from their 2003 total.” And “World-wide, spending on new telcom infrastructure is expected to rise to $240 billion in 2008, up 19% from 2005. Moreover, a greater proportion of that spending is expected to be plowed into accommodating capacity-hogging Internet traffic like video.” Unlike the last spending wave that benefited most all suppliers, this wave is more focused on products that help manage the information flow as compared to simply providing greater capacity.

Company Press Release -- February 06, 2007

Optical Communication Products released results for its fiscal year 2007 first quarter that ended December 31, 2006. For the quarter, revenues slipped 4.1% on a year-over-year basis to $17.0 million and 11% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. As expected, the company’s gross margin came under pressure by falling to 18.8%, down from 22.9% in Q4 of fiscal 2006. Management stated their belief that the gross margin will begin to stabilize over the course of fiscal 2007 and have set a long-term goal of “sustainable gross margins ... of greater than 30%.” Operating expenses rose to 52.8% for the quarter due, in part, to executive severance costs and the inclusion of GigaComm which was acquired in August 2006. The combination of lower gross margin and higher operating expenses led to a $4.2 million loss for the quarter. The company’s cash and cash-equivalents balance remained strong at $124 million ($1.09 per share), and the balance sheet continues debt free.

As part of its commentary and outlook, management expressed optimism about the growth prospects for the broadband industry generally and specifically for the “prospective, large scale development of FTTH in the United States.” OCPI is already a leader in the Japanese FTTH market. The company is focusing its product development consistent with its opportunities; during the quarter it announced the release of its “first 10 Gigabit Ethernet industrial and extended temperature XFP components.” Such new products will help bolster the firm’s gross margin. Other margin improvement initiatives include further integrating its internally sourced lasers (resulting from the GigaComm acquisition), “a program to cull older legacy products from our mix,” and further implementing the company’s Asia initiative and speed-to-market product strategies.

Global Sources -- October 05, 2006

Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province, is a centrally located province that dates back to the very beginnings of the Chinese people. But today Wuhan is known as China’s Optical Valley, a center known for cutting-edge developments in optical electronics and photoelectronics. The Optical Valley is built upon a “strong network of colleges and institutes that provide technical training,” and the investment provided by “about 600 optical electronics product makers,” including “NEC, IBM, Fujikura and Philips” that help fund “700 R&D units with 200,000 engineers.” The Valley is experiencing rapid growth. Its “production value (has been) growing by an average of 30 percent a year since 2001” and “is expected to reach … $12.5 billion in 2007.”

Company Press Release -- December 14, 2006

OCPI reported Q4 and full-year results for fiscal 2006 ended September 30, 2006. Revenue growth of 29.2% and 25.3% for the quarter and year, respectively, was driven largely by increased demand from existing customers. The acquisition of GigaComm that “secured a leading position in Japan’s high-growth fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) market” and a second source of lasers closed in late August. While posting a $0.01 per share profit for the year, declining gross margins crimped overall results and led to a $0.01 loss in the fourth quarter. The balance sheet remained strong, however, with cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $126.9 million, or $1.11 per share.

While observing OCPI has traditionally “delivered strong gross margins relative to the industry,” Chief Executive Officer Philip F. Otto notes that, “over the past year, gross margins have declined as a result of our current product mix, which included a higher percentage of low margin products, lower market ASPs, and higher labor costs.” Further deterioration is anticipated over the first half of fiscal 2007 after which a series of margin improvement initiatives should begin to produce modest quarterly improvements. Shortly after the close of the year, OCPI signed an agreement with SAE Magnetics that will provide for low-cost, high-volume manufacturing in China, part of an initiative building on the GigaComm acquisition to develop integrated operations that are “more closely align(ed) with global customers” and facilitate “cost reduction(s)” and access to “design activities.” Efforts will also be ongoing to improve the product mix with higher margined products and products with higher average selling prices (ASP), “including high performance XFP/SFP+ products supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.” These higher ASP products combined with an additional design center in Taiwan that will aid in “accelerating product development and speed-to-market programs” will help OCPI capitalize on the growing demand for fiber optic components, thus bolstering top-line revenue growth. For fiscal 2007, management is "expecting revenue growth of $80.0 million to $90.0 million, including GigaComm.” Separately, management has stated that they’ll no longer be providing quarterly guidance, but they will be speaking to annual guidance as well as articulating longer-term goals.

OCPI also announced additional management changes, including the resignations of two of the company’s founders, Dr. Muoi Van Tran and Susie L. Nemeti effective December 31, 2006. Dr. Tran will continue as Chairman of the Board and both Dr. Tran and Ms. Nemeti will be available for consulting purposes. “OCP also announced the promotions of David Jenkins, Ph.D. to Vice President and Managing Director, Europe and Middle East, and Terry Basehore to Vice President of Sales, North America.” Previously announced management changes from fiscal 2006 include:

-- Philip F. Otto was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer in July, bringing extensive fiber optics knowledge and broad experience in the telcommunications industry to his leadership role;

-- Frederic T. Boyer was named Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in August, bringing a seasoned background in financial management for several publicly-traded companies;

-- Dr. Liew-Chuang Chiu, OCP's Director of Manufacturing who joined the Company in 2005, was promoted to Vice President of Worldwide Manufacturing;

-- Dr. Jacob Tarn, CEO of OCP's GigaComm acquisition in Taiwan, has assumed responsibility as General Manager of OCP Asia; and

-- In accordance with the Company's bylaws, the Board of Directors increased the authorized number of directors from seven to eight and appointed Mr. Otto to the Board.

Analysts Reports -- July, 2006

B. Riley & Co.: Michael Coady, CFA

Roth Capital Partners: Dave Kand and Ankur Wadhawan

In mid July, Michael Coady, CFA of B. Riley & Co., wrote of Optical Communication Product’s announced acquisition of GigaComm that there were positives and negatives, but on balance he was excited by the opportunities that the acquisition presented. The “reasonable price” that OCPI paid “for a leader in a rapidly growing market” suggested that perhaps GigaComm might not be profitable. Nevertheless, one opportunity rests with GigaComm’s largest customer being Mitsubishi, a leading supplier to NTT, a Japanese company engaged in one of the world’s “most aggressive” build outs of fiber-to-the-home networks. GigaComm also brings an “integrated manufacturing facility” and will be able to provide a “second source of lasers for its transceivers” beyond Furukawa who is a majority owner of OCPI. Mr. Coady expects the advantages to be improved “cost and time-to-market efficiencies.”

Responding to OCPI’s third quarter results on July 28, Mr. Coady balanced his report between the apparently strong “demand environment” and revenue guidance of 15%-28% sequentially and year-over-year with weaker-than-expected gross margins. He sees “limited visibility” surrounding the contributions of GigaComm to the bottom line, suggesting that, lacking guidance, it will take a couple of quarters to get “a better sense of where revenues and margins are headed directionally.” Even so, he considers OCPI to be “well positioned in the optical component space” and reiterated his “Buy” rating.

Also on July 28, Roth Capital Partners’ analysts Dave Kang and Ankur Wadhawan responded to OCPI’s third quarter results by noting that earnings were below expectations but that the company is undergoing a “significant transformation,” including a new management team and the pending acquisition of GigaComm. The analysts point out that in addition to acquiring a manufacturing presence in Asia, the GigaComm purchase may also expand the company’s already extensive relationship with Alcatel, “the primary supplier of FTTX equipment for AT&T’s Project Lightspeed.” Alcatel accounts for about 23% of OCPI revenues. The analysts rate OCPI a Hold due, in part, to the challenge in “determin(ing) the combined companies’ earnings model.”

The Turnaround Letter -- November 1, 2006

In the November 1, 2006, edition of The Turnaround Letter, editor George Putnam, III advises his readers that, "the long-term factors favoring (telcom equipment) stocks are still in place." He points to an equipment upgrade cycle being fueled by major telephone providers having to meet the demand for new services and the competitive threat from the cable TV industry. Optical Communication Products made his list of "telcom equipment stocks that we think have significant appreciation potential." OCPI's focus in the fiber-optic market and expansion in Asia were spotlighted.

Company Press Release -- November 1, 2006

Optical Communication Products has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of TDK Corp., SAE Magnetics Ltd., that will allow OCPI to begin manufacturing operations in China beginning in 2007. According to Philip F. Otto, OCPI’s CEO, "This transition is a key element in OCPI's long-term strategy to increase revenues and improve financial performance. Manufacturing in Asia will enable us to increase our manufacturing capacity and flexibility, while simultaneously reducing costs.” The ability to ramp up volumes in China will augment the firm’s “proven capabilities in short-run, specialized applications.” There will be interim adjustments, including layoffs at existing facilities and roughly $3 million to #3.5 million in one-time charges that will be taken in fiscal 2007 which started October 1.

North Carolina State University

Dr. Paul E. Green, Jr., though retired, continues as a voice for advancing communications technologies, including optical networks as a member of the National Academy of Engineering. While a debate continues between DSL and cable technologies, Dr. Green points out in an interview that two major events are driving communications companies to utilize optical/fiber technology for hooking up homes, known as fiber-to-the-home, across America. He suggests that optical technology “would not only liberate the telcommunication industry but would liberate the entire computer industry too. If you had an open pipe between your machine and anybody else, all of a sudden Microsoft is gonna (sic) find a thousand products that you've got to have that they can make for you.” As compared to copper lines supporting DSL, Dr. Green comments that fiber “is like having something with 25,000 times as much [capacity] as the copper wires;” that, he suggests, is something “you get excited about.”

Dr. Paul E. Green, Jr.’s book, Fiber to the Home: The New Empowerment, is winning acclaim for the author’s ability to communicate the essentials of fiber to the home (FTTH) technology to wide-ranging audience. Dr. Green, now retired, brings a long history of involvement in the communications and networking markets beginning with his doctoral thesis at MIT in 1953; much of his career was spent with MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory and IBM. FTTH is essentially the technology that brings high-speed, fiber optic cables directly into homes and offices, the critical “last mile” that will unleash a host of new technological capabilities.

Company Press Release -- 27 July 2006

Optical Communications announced its second-quarter results and two senior management appointments. For its third quarter ended June 30, revenues rose to $14.9 million or 9.5% over the year-earlier period, while earnings fell from a profit a year ago to a loss of $437,000 ($0.00 per share). Dr. Muoi Van Tran, Optical’s Chairman, commented that the results were in line with expectations but short of the firm’s “ambitious long-term goals.” He also commented on the important second-quarter event of the company acquiring GigaComm “which will position us as a major supplier in the highly important fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) market, give us a leading position in the advanced Japanese telcommunications market, and bring us critical mass in the global marketplace with a significant addition to revenues, technology, and manufacturing capability." Excluding the impact of GigaComm, “Optical expects revenue to be within the range of $17 million to $19 million” for its fiscal fourth quarter ending September 30.

It was also announced that Philip F. Otto who’s been serving as temporary CFO will immediately assume the position as CEO as well as joining a newly expanded Board of Directors. Dr. Tran comments, "Phil's roots in the fiber optic sector and his broad experience in the telcommunications industry make him the ideal choice to lead OCP as we extend our Company globally and make our product offerings more comprehensive." Dr. Tran will assume the role as Chief Technology Officer.

Further, Frederic T. Boyer has been named Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective August 21, 2006. Mr. Boyer arrives from Qualstar, a NASDAQ-traded storage solutions company. He’s also held senior financial positions at Accelerated Networks, ADC Telcommunications, and Computer Memories.
