Highlight of Business Operations:

Research and development expenses increased to $51.5 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012 from $34.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily related to the inclusion of research and development expenses in fiscal year 2013 to fund research and development associated with products acquired through the acquisition of Opnext on July 23, 2012, partially offset by a reduction in research and development expenses of $0.5 million related to synergies from aligning and reducing combined research and development resources of Oclaro and Opnext in association with the merger, and other cost reduction efforts in response to softening market conditions and lower post-flood revenues. Personnel-related costs increased to $29.5 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012, compared with $20.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of an increase in personnel numbers following our acquisition of Opnext. In addition, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, as part of our Thailand flood recovery efforts, certain of our research and development employees were redirected to efforts to restore our production capacity. As a result, our research and development expenses were $0.6 million lower than they would have been otherwise, as these amounts were recorded in flood-related expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Other costs, including the costs of design tools and facilities-related costs increased to $22.0 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012, compared with $14.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $23.1 million for the three months ended December 29, 2012, from $14.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Personnel-related costs increased to $13.6 million for the three months ended December 29, 2012, compared with $9.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of an increase in personnel numbers following our acquisition of Opnext.
