               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Demeter Technologies, Inc.

    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Demeter
Technologies, Inc. as of October 31, 2000, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from inception
(June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Demeter Technologies, Inc.
at October 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the period from inception (June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    Demeter Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of

    In June, 2000, the founders of the Company were issued 4,000,000 shares of
common stock in exchange for cash of $400,000. In August, 2000, the Company
issued 14,000,701 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock at $0.5714 per
share (see Note 6). Each preferred stockholder paid approximately one half in
cash and one half was recorded as a subscription receivable. Concurrently with
the Series A convertible preferred stock, the Company issued a warrant for
4,500,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (see Note 6) to
American Xtal Technologies, Inc. (AXT) in exchange primarily for technology
related to FP lasers. AXT also leases certain facilities and equipment to the
Company (see Note 5). The president of the Company is the brother of the
president of AXT.

USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

    In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities," the Company has classified its short-term
investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at
market value and unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax
effect, are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity until realized. A decline in the market value of the
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings,
resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. The cost of
short-term investments sold is based on specific identification. The fair value
of short-term investments is based on quoted market prices. The difference
between market value and cost of these securities at October 31, 2000 was an
unrealized gain of $33,919.

INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in,
first-out basis) or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to seven
years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue is recognized at the time of product shipment and no significant
obligations remain, net of allowance for estimated returns. Warranty expenses
are also estimated and provided for at the time of shipment.

ADVERTISING COSTS

    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were not
material for the period ending October 31, 2000.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments with high-credit quality financial
institutions. Such investments are generally in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Concentrations of credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, exist to the
extent of amounts presented in the financial statements. Accounts receivable
from two customers represented 66% and 21% of the total balance at October 31,
2000. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to
support customer receivables. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations
of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on
historical experience and other information available to management. Losses to
date have been within management's expectations.

CURRENT VULNERABILITIES DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS

    During the period from inception (June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000,
revenues from two customers represented 50% and 31% of total revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company accounts for employee stock options and common stock purchase
right grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and has adopted the
disclosure-only alternative of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123).

    AXT is currently constructing improvements at the leased facilities. AXT is
funding the entire cost of such improvements; however, the Company is obligated
to reimburse AXT on demand for any portion of such cost of improvements which
exceeds $1,150,000. In addition, the Company shall pay AXT additional monthly
rent equal to the total amount of AXT's depreciation costs of such improvements
plus the interest cost to AXT on any funds borrowed for such purpose or the
interest cost on any funds used to build such improvements (based on 10% per
annum simple interest, regardless of how AXT finances such improvements),
calculated on a monthly basis; the Company shall continue to pay such additional
rent monthly until AXT has recovered from the Company the entire building costs
of such improvements (up to $1,150,000).

6.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK

    Following the Company's incorporation in June 2000, the Company is
authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares consisting of 40,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $0.001. The board of directors has the authority to issue the undesignated
preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges, and restrictions thereof.

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

    On August 10, 2000, the Company designated 20,000,000 shares as Series A
convertible preferred stock, and in August 2000, the Company issued 14,000,701
shares of Series A convertible preferred stock at $0.5714 per share, resulting
in cash proceeds of approximately $4,000,000 and a receivable of $4,000,000.

    The holders of shares of Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive
dividends, out of assets legally available therefore, prior and in preference to
any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in common stock
or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holders thereof
to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of common stock) on the
common stock, at the rate of 8% of the liquidation preference per share per
annum for the Series A preferred stock, payable when, as, and if declared by the
board of directors. Such dividends will not be cumulative. No dividends have
been declared.

                                OCTOBER 31, 2000

6.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
    Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the
option of the holder, at any time, into common stock at the current conversion
rate (currently one-for-one). Conversion is automatic upon the closing of an
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, which results in a price per share of not less
than five times the then applicable conversion price and gross offering proceeds
of not less than $10,000,000 or upon the approval of the holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock. The preferred stock
has voting rights on an as-if-converted to common stock basis.

    Series A convertible preferred stockholders are entitled to receive, upon
liquidation, an amount per share equal to the issuance price, plus all declared
but unpaid dividends. Thereafter, the remaining assets and funds, if any, shall
be distributed pro rata among the common stockholders and Series A convertible
preferred stockholders on an as-if-converted basis.

WARRANTS AND RELATED PURCHASED TECHNOLOGY

    On August 10, 2000, the Company granted a warrant to AXT to purchase up to
4,500,000 shares of the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock at
$0.5714 per share. The warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time,
and will expire the later of (i) August 10, 2005 and (ii) the closing of a
qualified public offering or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Company or the merger or consolidation with a public company. The value of the
warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: weighted-average, risk-free interest rate of 5%,
estimated life of 5 years, volatility of 0.8%, and no dividend yield. The
warrant was primarily issued for access to certain technology related to FP
lasers. The Company has recorded the $1,710,000 estimated fair value of the
warrant as a contra-equity amount and is being amortized to income over the
5-year estimated life of the warrant.

2000 STOCK PLAN

    In September 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Plan (the Plan) which
provides for the issuance of common stock options and common stock purchase
rights to employees and consultants of the Company of up to 3,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. The Plan permits the Company to (i) grant incentive
stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, and (ii) nonstatutory stock options, which are not intended to qualify as
incentive stock options. Options generally vest 25% upon completion of one year
of service and 1/48 per month thereafter. Options expire after 10 years.

    During the period from inception (June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000, the
Company granted options for 1,137,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share. None of these options were exercised or canceled
during the period from inception (June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000 and none of
the options were exercisable as of October 31, 2000. The weighted-average deemed
fair value of the options granted during the period from inception (June 22,
2000) to October 31, 2000 was $7.64 per share. The Company also reserved for
issuance 1,048,000 options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share to certain
individuals, not yet employees with the Company, with vesting commencing the
first day of employment with the Company. The weighted-average remaining
contractual life of the options outstanding as of October 31, 2000 was
9.8 years. As of October 31, 2000, 815,000 shares of common stock were available
for future grants.

6.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION

    In connection with the grant of stock options to employees, the Company
recorded deferred stock compensation of $7,900,000 for the period from inception
(June 22, 2000) through October 31, 2000, representing the difference between
the deemed fair value of the Company's common stock for accounting purposes and
the option exercise price of these options at the date of grant. Deferred stock
compensation is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity, with graded
amortization recorded over the four-year vesting period. The amortization
expense relates to options awarded to employees in all operating expense
categories. The Company will recognize additional deferred compensation for the
options reserved for issuance to certain individuals who have not yet commenced
employment with the Company.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    Pro forma information regarding net income is required by SFAS 123 as if the
Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair
value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for the Company's stock option grants
was estimated at the date of grant using the minimum value option valuation
model. The minimum value option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company's stock-based awards
have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and
because changes in the subject input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessary
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock-based awards.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
minimum value method option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 5%; no dividend yield; and a
weighted-average expected life of the option of five years.

    For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. For the period
from inception (June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000 the pro forma net loss was
$(1,795,333).

7.  INCOME TAXES

    There is no provision for U.S. federal, U.S. state or foreign income taxes
as the Company has incurred operating losses since inception for all
jurisdictions.

    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

    Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:



                                                              OCTOBER 31,

Deferred tax assets:
  Net operating loss carryforwards..........................   $ 300,000
  Other.....................................................     200,000
                                                               ---------
Total deferred tax assets...................................     500,000

                                                               =========


    Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if
any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred
tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

    As of October 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of approximately $800,000, which expire in 2020. The
Company also had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes
of approximately $800,000 expiring in 2008. Utilization of the Company's net
operating loss may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the
ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar
state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of
the net operating loss before utilization.

8.  SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

    The Company operates in one reportable segment, the design, manufacture, and
marketing of lasers for datacom and telecommunications applications. During the
period from inception (June 22, 2000) to October 31, 2000, 10%, 50% and 40% of
the Company's revenues were from United States, Taiwan, and UK based entities,
respectively.

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On November 21, 2000, all of the stockholders' of the Company sold their
ownership interest to Finisar Corporation (Finisar). Finisar will record the
transaction using the purchase method of accounting. Pursuant to the Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization, Finisar issued 6,020,012 shares of its common stock
in exchange for the outstanding shares of Demeter common and preferred stock and
the outstanding warrant. In addition, Finisar assumed options to purchase the
Company's common stock and reserved 566,573 shares of Finisar common stock for
issuance upon the exercise of the assumed options.

the acquisition of Sensors and Demeter under the purchase method of accounting
and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying Notes to the
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Statements of Operations are presented as if the combinations had
taken place on May 1, 1999.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for the six months
ended October 31, 2000 combines the historical six months ended October 31, 2000
for Finisar (which includes one month of operations of Sensors), the historical
five months ended September 30, 2000 for Sensors and the period from June 22,
2000 (the date of incorporation) to October 31, 2000 for Demeter. The Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for the year ended April 30, 2000
combines the historical year ended April 30, 2000 for Finisar, the twelve months
ended March 31, 2000 for Sensors and, since Demeter was not incorporated until
after April 30, 2000, only amortization of the purchase price adjustments for
the twelve months ended April 30, 2000 for Demeter. Since the acquisition of
Sensors occurred prior to October 31, 2000, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Balance Sheet is presented to give effect to the acquisition of Demeter as if it
occurred on October 31, 2000 and combines the balance sheet for Finisar as of
October 31, 2000, which includes the purchase of Sensors, with the balance sheet
of Demeter as of October 31, 2000.

    The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of Finisar, Sensors and
Demeter. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the
results that would have been reported if the above transaction had been in
effect for the period presented or which may result in the future.

                     NOTES TO FINISAR, SENSORS AND DEMETER

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (A) On August 16, 2000 Finisar and Sensors entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Finisar acquired
Sensors. The transaction closed on October 17, 2000. Sensors is headquartered in
Princeton, New Jersey and is a leading supplier of optical components that
monitor the performance of dense wavelength division multiplexing or DWDM,
systems. Finisar designated September 30, 2000 as the acquisition date for
accounting purposes.

    Pursuant to the Agreement, Finisar issued 18,962,141 shares of its common
stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Sensors common stock. In
addition, Finisar assumed options to purchase Sensors common stock and reserved
381,417 shares of Finisar common stock for issuance upon the exercise of the
assumed options. At the closing of the merger transaction, the assumed Sensor
options converted into Finisar options vested to the extent of the greater of
(i) 25% of the total number of shares subject to the option or (ii) the vested
percentage of the Sensors option at the closing of the transaction, up to a
maximum of 50% of the total number of shares subject to the option. The unvested
portion of each assumed option will vest in three approximately equal annual
installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of closing of
the transaction, subject to the option holder's continued service with Finisar
or a subsidiary.

    At the closing of the transaction, certificates representing 9,481,109
shares of Finisar common stock were issued to the former stockholders of Sensors
(the "Initial Consideration") and 9,481,032 shares of common stock, or
approximately one-half of the shares issued pursuant to the transaction, were
deposited into escrow with U.S. Bank Trust, National Association (the "Deferred
Consideration"). One-third of the shares deposited in escrow will be released on
each of the first three anniversaries of October 17, 2000, the closing date,
subject to the achievement of certain development milestones. If the milestones
are not achieved, the escrow shares will be cancelled and returned to the status
of authorized but unissued shares. Further, one-third of the escrow shares that
would otherwise be delivered to the principal shareholders of Sensors on the
third anniversary of the closing of the transaction will be subject to claims
for indemnification by Finisar under the Agreement and the procedures specified
in the escrow agreement. Those shares will remain in escrow until all pending
claims for indemnification have been resolved.

    In addition to the Initial Consideration and Deferred Consideration, on each
of the first three anniversaries of the closing of the transaction, Finisar will
issue and deliver to the former shareholders of Sensors, on a pro rata basis,
additional shares of Finisar common stock (valued on the basis of the average
closing trading price per share of such stock on the Nasdaq National Market for
the ten trading days preceding the applicable payment date) (the "Additional
Consideration"). These shares of Finisar common stock, with an estimated value
of $48 million, will be distributed as follows:

    (1) If on the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction, at least
       75% of the key management and technical employees originally employed by
       Sensors, or equivalent replacement employees, are then employed by
       Finisar, Finisar will issue and deliver Finisar shares having an
       aggregate value of $2.375 multiplied by the total number of shares
       initially deposited in escrow, rounded to the nearest whole share;

    (2) If on the second anniversary of the closing of the transaction, at least
       65% of the key Sensors employees, or equivalent replacement employees,
       are then employed by Finisar, Finisar will issue and deliver Finisar
       shares having an aggregate value of $1.58333 multiplied by the total
       number of escrow shares, rounded to the nearest whole share; and

    (3) If on the third anniversary of the closing of the transaction, at least
       50% of the key Sensors employees, or equivalent replacement employees,
       are then employed by Finisar, and if prior to that date all six
       development milestones set forth in the Agreement have been achieved,
       Finisar

                                       18

                     NOTES TO FINISAR, SENSORS AND DEMETER

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

       will issue Finisar shares having an aggregate value of $0.79167
       multiplied by the total number of escrow shares, rounded to the nearest
       whole share.

    Only the Initial Consideration has been recorded for accounting purposes
since the payment of the Deferred and Additional Consideration is contingent
upon future events that are not assured of occurring beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Deferred Consideration, if any, will be recorded as additional purchase cost
at the then current market price of the common stock when the milestones are
attained. The Additional Consideration, if any, will be recorded as additional
purchase cost at the then current market price of common stock on the first,
second and third anniversaries of the closing of the transaction. Accordingly,
Finisar's initial cost to acquire Sensors is calculated to be $356.1 million
using the price of $33.47 per share of Finisar common stock, which is the
average of the closing market prices of Finisar's common stock for a period from
three days before through three days after August 16, 2000, the day the
transaction was announced. The fair value of the assumed stock options of
$12.7 million, as well as estimated direct transaction expenses of
$26.1 million, have been included as a part of the total purchase cost. Sensors
currently operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finisar.

    The cost to acquire Sensors has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed according to their respective fair values, with the excess
purchase price being allocated to goodwill. The fair value of the acquired
assets and liabilities is based upon an independent valuation.

    The estimated total initial purchase cost of Sensors is as follows (in
thousands):

    An independent valuation specialist performed an allocation of the total
purchase price of Sensors to its individual assets. The purchase price was
allocated to Sensors' tangible assets, specific intangible assets such as
assembled workforce, customer base, tradename, and developed technology and to
in-process research and development.

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

    The acquired developed technology, which is comprised of products that are
already technologically feasible, mainly includes optical components that
monitor the performance of dense wavelength division multiplexing networks.
Sensors' technology enables telecommunications companies to optimize the use of
existing bandwidth in fiber optic networks. Finisar will amortize the acquired
developed technology of approximately $54.9 million on a straight-line basis
over an average estimated remaining useful life of five years.

    The acquired assembled workforce is comprised of all the skilled employees
and includes the estimated cost to replace existing employees, including
recruiting and training costs and loss of productivity costs. Finisar will
amortize the value assigned to the assembled workforce of approximately
$1.5 million on a straight-line basis over an average estimated useful life of
three years.

    Acquired customer base is based on historical costs incurred and is
comprised of Sensors management's estimation of resources that have been devoted
to the development of the relationships with key customers. Finisar will
amortize the value assigned to customer relationships of approximately
$1.9 million on a straight-line basis over an average estimated useful life of
three years.

    The acquired tradename is recognized for the intrinsic value of the Sensors
name and products in the marketplace. Finisar will amortize the value assigned
to the tradename of approximately $3.3 million on a straight-line basis over an
average estimated useful life of five years.

    Deferred compensation expense is recognized for the intrinsic value of the
unvested Finisar options exchanged for options held by Sensors' employees. The
$8.7 million of deferred compensation will be amortized over the remaining
vesting period of approximately three years.

    Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price of an investment
in an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable
assets and deferred compensation, will be amortized on a straight-line basis
over its estimated remaining useful life of five years.

    In-process research and development represents that portion of the purchase
price of an acquisition related to the research and development activities
which: i) have not demonstrated their technological feasibility, and ii) have no
alternative future uses. Accordingly, the Company recognized an expense of
$23.0 million during the quarter ended October 31, 2000 in conjunction with the
completion of this acquisition.

    (B) On November 21, 2000 Finisar and Demeter entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Finisar acquired
Demeter. The transaction also closed on November 21, 2000. Demeter is
headquartered in El Monte, California. Demeter Technologies was founded in
August 2000 and is focused on the development of long wavelength Fabry Perot and
distributed feedback lasers for datacom and telecommunications applications.

    Pursuant to the Agreement, Finisar issued 6,020,012 shares of its common
stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Demeter common stock. In
addition, Finisar assumed options to purchase Demeter common stock and reserved
566,573 shares of Finisar common stock for issuance upon the exercise of the
assumed options. The assumed options generally vest to the extent of 25% of the
total number of shares subject to the option at the end of one year after the
date of grant, with the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments,
subject to the optionholder's continued service with Finisar or a subsidiary.

    At the closing of the transaction, certificates representing 601,993 shares
of Finisar common stock were deposited into an escrow with the U.S. Bank Trust,
National Association. The escrow shares will be subject to claims for
indemnification by Finisar under the reorganization agreement and the procedures

                                       20

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

specified in the escrow agreement. Those shares will remain in escrow until all
pending claims for indemnification, if any, have been resolved.

    Finisar's initial cost to acquire Demeter is calculated to be
$186.9 million using the price of $28.05 per share of Finisar common stock,
which is the average of the closing market prices of Finisar's common stock for
a period from three days before through three days after November 21, 2000, the
day the transaction was announced. The fair value of the assumed stock options
of $15.4 million, as well as estimated direct transaction expenses of $2.6
million, have been included as a part of the total purchase cost. Demeter
currently operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finisar.

    The cost to acquire Demeter has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed according to their respective fair values, with the excess
purchase price being allocated to goodwill. The fair value of the acquired
assets and liabilities is based upon an independent valuation.

    The estimated total initial purchase cost of Demeter is as follows (in

    An independent valuation specialist performed an allocation of the total
purchase price of Demeter to its individual assets. The purchase price was
allocated to Demeter's tangible assets, specific intangible assets such as
assembled workforce, customer base and developed technology and to in-process
research and development.

    The acquired developed technology, which is comprised of products that are
already technologically feasible, mainly includes long wavelength Fabry Perot
and distributed feedback lasers for datacom and telecommunications applications.
Finisar will amortize the acquired developed technology of approximately
$30.0 million on a straight-line basis over an average estimated remaining
useful life of five years.

    The acquired assembled workforce is comprised of all the skilled employees
and includes the estimated cost to replace existing employees, including
recruiting and training costs and loss of productivity

costs. Finisar will amortize the value assigned to the assembled workforce of
approximately $0.9 million on a straight-line basis over an average estimated
useful life of three years.

    Acquired customer base is based on historical costs incurred and is
comprised of Demeter management's estimation of resources that have been devoted
to the development of the relationships with key customers. Finisar will
amortize the value assigned to customer relationships of approximately
$0.2 million on a straight-line basis over an average estimated useful life of
three years.

    Deferred compensation expense is recognized for the intrinsic value of the
unvested Finisar options exchanged for options held by Demeter's employees. The
$13.3 million of deferred compensation will be amortized over the remaining
vesting period of approximately four years.

    Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price of an investment
in an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable
assets and deferred compensation, will be amortized on a straight-line basis
over its estimated remaining useful life of five years.

    In-process research and development represents that portion of the purchase
price of an acquisition related to the research and development activities
which: i) have not demonstrated their technological feasibility, and ii) have no
alternative future uses. Accordingly, the Company will recognized an expense of
$6.0 million during the quarter ending January 31, 2001 in conjunction with the
completion of this acquisition.

    (C) Historically, Sensors elected to be treated as an "S" corporation for
Federal income tax purposes; therefore the Sensors stockholders were liable for
income taxes on Sensors' taxable income. The pro forma provision for income
taxes includes estimated income taxes on Sensor's income at a tax rate of 30%.

    (D) The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not represent the
amounts that would have resulted had Finisar, Sensors and Demeter filed
consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

    (E) The pro forma basic and diluted net earnings per share for the year
ended April 30, 2000 are based on the weighted average number of shares of
Finisar common stock outstanding, the initial 9,481,109 shares issued by Finisar
in the Sensors transaction and the 6,020,012 shares issued by Finisar in the
Demeter transaction. The pro forma basic and diluted net earnings per share for
the six months ended October 31, 2000 are based on the weighted average number
of shares of Finisar common stock outstanding, the 7,970,383 shares
(representing the difference between the shares issued by Finisar in the Sensors
transaction and the amount included in the weighted average number of shares of
Finisar common stock outstanding) and the 6,020,012 shares issued by Finisar in
the Demeter transaction.
