            RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR

            On July 8, 2002, FiberCore, Inc. (the "Company") received from Mr.
Hedayet Amin-Arsala a notice of resignation from his position as a Member of the
Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Amin-Arsala had been serving as the Minister
of Finance and Deputy Chairman for the Afghanistan Interim Government until the
recent appointment of the new government in Kabul. He has now been named to the
position of Vice-President of Afghanistan. As a result of his new duties, Mr.
Amin-Arsala will no longer be able to serve the Company in the position of
Director. He had been a Director of the Company since 1999.

            The Company has nominated Mr. Zaid Siddig, a former director of the
Company, to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Amin-Arsala's resignation. Mr.
Siddig's nomination will be voted on at the Company's upcoming Annual Meeting in
August. Mr. Siddig was one of the founding partners and a director of Spectran
Corporation (subsequently acquired by Lucent Technologies), an optical preform
and fiber manufacturing company, from its inception in 1981 until 1991. He has
previously served as a Director of the Company from 1994 through 1997. Mr.
Siddig is currently a private investor.




            Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on behalf of the Registrant
by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
