    (a) In evaluating the operating performance of Finisar's business,
        Finisar management utilizes financial measures that exclude
        certain charges and credits required by U.S. generally accepted
        accounting principles, or GAAP, that are considered by
        management to be outside Finisar's core operating results.  A
        reconciliation of Finisar's non-GAAP financial measures to the
        most directly comparable GAAP measures, as well as additional
        related information can be found under the heading "Finisar
        Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Highlights for the third quarter under GAAP include the following:

-- Total revenues from continuing operations increased to $166.9 million,
   up $21.2 million, or 14.6%, from $145.7 million in the preceding
   quarter and $40.8 million, or 32.4%, from $126.1 million in the third
   quarter of the prior year; the last three quarters have seen revenues
   increase sequentially by 19.8%, 13.2% and 14.6%, respectively;

-- Of the $21.2 million increase in revenues from the preceding quarter,
   the sale of  products for applications greater than 10 Gbps increased
   $12.1 million, the sale of products applications less than 10 Gbps
   applications increased $4.5 million and the sale of ROADM products
   increased $3.7 million;

-- Of the $40.8 million increase in revenues from the third quarter of
   the prior year, the sale of products for applications greater than 10
   Gbps increased $18.3 million, the sale of ROADM products increased
   $12.9 million, and the sale of products for applications less than 10
   Gbps increased $7.2 million;

-- Gross margin from continuing operations increased to 31.0% from 27.3%
   in the preceding quarter and 27.6% in the third quarter of the prior
   year;

-- Operating income from continuing operations increased to $9.1 million,
   or 5.5% of revenues, compared to $2.2 million, or 1.5% of revenues,
   in the preceding quarter (before a charge for restructuring) and an
   operating loss of $3.1 million, or (2.5)% of revenues, in the third
   quarter of the prior year;

-- Net income from continuing operations was $5.6 million, or $0.08 per
   diluted share, compared to a loss of $31.4 million, or $(0.49) per
   share, in the preceding quarter and a loss of $49.3 million, or $(0.83)
   per share, in the third quarter of the prior year, which included a
   $46.5 million charge for the impairment of goodwill;

-- Cash and short-term investments, plus other long-term investments that
   can be readily converted into cash, totaled $79.0 million at the end
   of the third quarter compared to $80.7 million at the end of the
   preceding quarter, reflecting net proceeds of $4.5 million from a loan
   tied to certain foreign operations and $10.0 million in borrowings
   under a secured credit line with Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, which
   helped to fund the retirement of $5.5 million aggregate principal
   amount of 2.5% convertible notes and the early retirement of an
   equipment lease totaling approximately $2.6 million.  Excluding the
   impact of these financing transactions, the Company's cash position
   decreased by approximately $8.7 million due primarily to the growth in
   working capital such as accounts receivable and inventory, which
   increased by approximately $30.0 million in the quarter.   Finisar has
   classified certain of its investments as long-term based on its intent
   to hold these securities until maturity, although they can be readily
   sold if required; and

-- Under Finisar's $70.0 million secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
   Foothill, LLC, $54.9 million was available to borrow at the end of the
   third quarter.

-- In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S.
   generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides
   supplemental information regarding its operating performance on a
   non-GAAP basis.  Finisar believes this supplemental information
   provides investors and management with additional insight into its
   underlying core operating performance by excluding a number of non-cash
   and cash charges as well as infrequently occurring gains or losses
   principally related to acquisitions, the sale of minority investments,
   restructuring or other transition activities, impairments and financing
   transactions.  For the third quarter of fiscal 2010, these excluded
   items related to continuing operations totaled $5.9 million of which
   $3.5 million is non-cash stock-based compensation expense; $1.6 million
   is a non-cash amortization charge related to acquired developed
   technology and purchased intangibles arising from previous
   acquisitions; $441,000 is a non-cash charge related to foreign currency
   translation; and $383,000 is a non-cash charge for imputed interest
   expense on the Company's debt obligations.  Other items are as
   described in Finisar Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Excluding these items:

-- Non-GAAP gross margin from continuing operations was 32.2% in the third
   quarter compared to 29.6% in the preceding quarter and 28.7% in the
   third quarter of the prior year reflecting the cost benefit of
   spreading fixed manufacturing costs over a larger number of units and
   a more favorable product mix;

-- Non-GAAP operating expenses for continuing operations were $39.7
   million in the third quarter, an increase of $5.5 million from the
   preceding quarter and $5.8 million from the third quarter of the prior
   year. The increase in the current quarter reflects in part the
   restoration of salary cuts taken during the previous year as well as
   variable compensation associated with the company's improved
   performance. Approximately $2 million of the increase from the
   preceding quarter was for items other than those related to
   compensation;

-- Non-GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $14.1 million,
   or 8.5% of revenues, in the third quarter, up $5.3 million from $8.9
   million, or 6.1% of revenues, in the preceding quarter, and $11.8
   million from $2.4 million, or 1.9% of revenues, in the third quarter of
   the prior year;

-- Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $11.5 million, or
   $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.5 million, or
   $0.11 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and net income of
   $1.6 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the third
   quarter of the prior year; and

-- Non-GAAP EBITDA from continuing operations rose to $21.6 million in the
   third quarter compared to $16.0 million in the preceding quarter and
   $10.4 million in the third quarter of the prior year.

COMMENTARY

"This marks our third consecutive quarter of growth in revenues at double digit rates," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "This is a result of a winning product portfolio and strong customer support as we worked to meet a surge in product demand. A robust order trend and healthy backlog have continued into our fourth fiscal quarter which should enable us to make a strong finish to this fiscal year."

"I am delighted with our progress in manufacturing operations and the improvements we were able to achieve in manufacturing yields," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer. "Our ongoing efforts to reduce product costs and transition production to our off-shore locations during the fourth fiscal quarter should position us well for realizing our previous target of 10% operating margin on a non-GAAP basis in the near future."

OUTLOOK

The Company indicated that it currently expects that revenues for its fourth fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2010 will likely range from $175 to $185 million. On a GAAP basis, gross margin is expected to be approximately the same as the third quarter with operating margin in the range of 4.5% to 6%. Additional non-cash and infrequently occurring charges excluded in calculating non-GAAP operating income are expected to total approximately $6 to $8 million. As a result, on a non-GAAP basis, gross margin is also expected to be approximately the same as the third quarter with non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 8.5% to 10%.

ORGANIZATION CHANGE

It was announced today that Steve Workman, Finisar's Chief Financial Officer, will assume the role of Sr. Vice President of Corporate Development and Investor Relations. Steve has served as Finisar's CFO since joining the company in 1999 prior to its initial public offering. Kurt Adzema, who has served as Finisar's Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Development since joining the Company in 2005, will become Finisar's CFO. The change is expected to be effective upon the filing of the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ending January 31, 2010.

"During Steve's tenure our optic revenues have grown more than 30X and he has successfully guided us through two financial crises," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "We felt that this redefinition of roles will help in managing the next phase of growth here at Finisar and that now was an optimal time for this transition with the former-Optium business largely integrated with the rest of Finisar. Steve helped coordinate our corporate development efforts in the early days including Infineon and Honeywell. Since joining in 2005, Kurt has led our corporate development initiatives including the merger with Optium and the divestiture of the Network Tools division. The experience he gained though his current role and his strong finance background will serve him well in his new role. And with Steve's continued role at Finisar, I think this will be a smooth transition as we seek to capitalize on the talents of both of these individuals."

FINISAR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Some of these non-GAAP measures also exclude the ongoing impact of historical business decisions made in different business and economic environments. Management believes that tracking non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our current operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends which are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are used by both management and our Board of Directors, along with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude non-cash charges in order to better correlate our operating activities with our ability to generate cash from operations and to exclude non-recurring and infrequently incurred cash charges as a means of more accurately predicting our liquidity requirements. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry.

In calculating non-GAAP gross profit, we have excluded the following items from cost of revenues in applicable periods:

-- Changes in excess and obsolete inventory reserve (predominantly
   non-cash charges or non-cash benefits);
-- Amortization of acquired technology (non-cash charges related to
   technology obtained in acquisitions);
-- Duplicate facility costs during facility move (non-recurring charges);
-- Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
-- Purchase accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory
   (non-cash and non-recurring charges); and
-- Reduction in force costs (non-recurring charges).

In calculating non-GAAP operating income, we have excluded the same items to the extent they are classified as operating expenses, and have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:

-- Options investigation costs included in general and administrative
   expense (non-recurring cash charges related to the special
   investigation into our historical stock option granting practices)
   and the cost of covering employee and employer tax liabilities
   (non-recurring cash charges) arising from that investigation recorded
   in each line of the income statement;
-- Disposal of a product line (non-recurring charges);
-- Gain or loss on settlement of lawsuits (non-recurring charges);
-- Acquired in-process research and development expense (non-recurring
   and non-cash charges);
-- Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges related to
   prior acquisitions);
-- Restructuring charges associated with the abandonment of certain
   facilities (non-recurring charges); and
-- Impairment charges associated with intangible assets (non-cash and
   non-recurring charges).

In calculating non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations per share, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:

-- Amortization of discount on convertible debt and imputed interest
   expense (non-cash charges);
-- Gains and losses on debt extinguishment (non-recurring and non-cash
   charges or income);
-- Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-recurring or non-cash losses
   and cash gains related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer
   required for current activities);
-- Gains and losses on minority investments (infrequently occurring and
   principally non-cash gains and losses related to the disposal of
   investments in other companies and non-cash income or loss from these
   investments accounted for under the equity method);
-- Foreign exchange transaction losses (non-recurring and non-cash
   charges);
-- Tax charges arising from timing difference related to asset purchases
   (non-cash provision); and
-- Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle (non-recurring
   and non-cash charges or income).

In calculating non-GAAP income (loss) from discontinued operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) from discontinued operations per share, we have also excluded gains on disposal of a product line and disposal of discontinued operations.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
