ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
This Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth in the following and elsewhere in this Report. The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.
GENERAL
We create, acquire, finance and operate companies, and through them,
design, develop, manufacture and market products, which enable high-speed
broadband communications. We concentrate on companies and products devoted to
optical components and network infrastructure systems. We have leveraged our
early experience in fiber optic technology into a number of well-focused
operating units specializing in advanced fiber optic components, switching,
routing, transaction management and wireless optical transmission systems which
we have created, financed or acquired.
During 2000, we completed several strategic acquisitions. These
acquisitions were made to expand our product offering, enhance our technological
expertise and expand our manufacturing capabilities. The table below summarizes
the more notable acquisitions.
Date of Total Form of Consideration and
Acquired Company Acquisition Consideration Other Notes to Acquisition
---------------- ----------- ------------- --------------------------
Fiber Optic Communications, Inc. April 24, 2000 $309.7 million $48.6 million in cash and 5.4 million
shares of common stock and options
issued; approximately 97% of capital
stock assumed; goodwill and other
intangibles recorded of $261.5 million;
deferred stock compensation recorded of
$14.1 million
Jolt Limited May 1, 2000 $57.7 million 1.9 million shares of common stock and
options issued; 100% of capital stock
assumed; goodwill and other intangibles
recorded of $33.7 million; deferred
stock compensation recorded of $25.0
million
Quantum Optech Inc. July 12, 2000 $36.1 million 1.2 million shares of common stock and
options issued; 100% of capital stock
assumed; goodwill and other intangibles
recorded of $27.8 million; deferred stock
compensation recorded of $2.7 million
AstroTerra Corporation July 12, 2000 $160.3 million 2.4 million shares of common stock and
options issued; 100% of capital stock
assumed; goodwill and other intangibles
recorded of $108.4 million; deferred
stock compensation recorded of $50.0
million
Optronics International Corp. July 21, 2000 $123.9 million 4.2 million shares of common stock and
options issued; approximately 99% of
capital stock assumed; goodwill and
other intangibles recorded of $99.4
million; deferred stock compensation
recorded of $13.4 million
3
Each of these acquisitions was accounted for using the purchase method
and therefore, the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been
included in our consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of
acquisition. Goodwill and other intangibles from these acquisitions totaled
$463.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded amortization
of goodwill and other intangibles from these acquisitions of $60.6 million. We
expect to record amortization charges of goodwill and other intangibles for
these acquisitions of approximately $26.6 million per quarter until December 31,
2001. At January 1, 2002, we intend to implement SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
other Intangible Assets" (see Recently Issued Accounting Standards below).
In connection with these acquisitions, a portion of the purchase prices
paid represented deferred stock compensation relating to options to purchase our
common stock. The fair values of these options were $105.2 million and have been
recorded as deferred stock compensation. Deferred stock compensation
amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2000, relating to these
stock options was approximately $42.7 million. We expect to incur approximately
$33.4 million of total deferred stock compensation, which will be fully
amortized by 2004. Deferred stock compensation is being amortized using the
graded method using an estimated employment period of four years.
Fiber Optic Communications, Quantum Optech and Optronics International
were acquired and contributed to Luminent as part of our plan to complete an
initial public offering of our fiber optics components business and eventually
spin-off this business to our stockholders. Fiber Optic Communications develops
and manufactures passive fiber optic components for wavelength division
multiplexing. Quantum Optech specializes in developing and manufacturing optical
thin film coating and filters for dense wavelength division multiplexing.
Optronics focuses on developing and manufacturing high temperature semiconductor
lasers, transceivers and detectors for optical networks. These acquisitions also
provided additional manufacturing capabilities for future growth.
In July 2000, we and our subsidiary, Luminent, entered into employment
agreements with Luminent's President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice
President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer. The agreements provide for
annual salaries, performance bonuses and combinations of stock options to
purchase shares of our common stock and Luminent's common stock. The stock
options were granted to Luminent's executives at exercise prices below market
value, resulting in deferred stock compensation. Deferred stock compensation
from these stock option grants reported for the year ended December 31, 2000 was
$54.2 million, and we will incur additional deferred stock compensation of
approximately $2.6 million through 2004.
AstroTerra and Jolt were acquired and contributed to our subsidiary,
Optical Access, which focuses on optical wireless products that deliver
high-speed communications traffic to the so-called last mile portion of the
communications network and eventually spin-off this business to our
stockholders. AstroTerra develops and manufactures free-space optical wireless
communication systems to connect data and telecommunications networks. Jolt
develops and manufactures multi-port wireless optics communications equipment.
These acquisitions provided strategic components and technology for Optical
Access' wireless optical solution.
On October 6, 2000, our wholly-owned subsidiary Optical Access filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
initial public offering of its common stock. This offering has not been
completed and, based on current market conditions, we do not expect it to be
completed in the foreseeable future, if ever. Accordingly, on November 16, 2001,
Optical Access submitted an application to the SEC to withdraw its registration
statement. Due to the postponement of the transaction, we expensed all costs
($1.1 million) of the offering in the second quarter of 2001. Optical Access
designs, manufactures and markets an optical wireless solution that delivers
high-speed communications traffic to the portion of the communications network
commonly known as the last mile, which extends from the end user to the service
provider's central office.
We reported a net loss of $153.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2000. A significant portion of the net loss was due to the amortization of
goodwill and other intangibles and deferred stock compensation related to our
recent acquisitions and our employment arrangements with Luminent's President
and Chief Financial Officer. We will continue to record amortization of goodwill
and other intangibles until December 31, 2001, and deferred stock compensation
through 2004 relating to these acquisitions and Luminent's employment
arrangements with its executives. Effective January 1, 2002, the adoption of
SFAS 142 will stop amortization of goodwill, however, it may require us to
record an impairment charge (see Recently Issued Accounting Standards). As a
consequence
4
of these charges, we do not expect to report net income in the foreseeable
future. See discussion of the impact on the amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles due to the adoption of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 (see Recently
Issued Accounting Standards).
On November 10, 2000, Luminent completed the initial public offering of
its common stock, selling 12.0 million shares at $12.00 per share for net
proceeds of approximately $132.3 million. Luminent designs, manufactures and
sells a comprehensive line of fiber optic components that enable communications
equipment manufactures to provide optical networking equipment for the rapidly
growing metropolitan and access segments of the communications networks. While
we had planned to distribute all of our shares of Luminent common stock to our
stockholders, unfavorable business and economic conditions in the fiber optic,
data networking and telecommunications industries and the resulting adverse
effects on the market prices of our common stock and Luminent's common stock has
caused us to determine to abandon the distribution and merge Luminent into MRV
Merger Sub, our wholly-owned subsidiary, thereby eliminating public ownership of
Luminent.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUES, NET
We generally recognize product revenue, net of sales discounts and
allowances, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, the
fee is fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable. Products are
generally shipped "FOB shipping point" with no rights of return. Sales with
contingencies, such as rights of return, rotation rights, conditional acceptance
provisions and price protection, are rare and insignificant and are deferred
until the contingencies have been satisfied or the contingent period has lapsed.
We generally warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship
for one year. The estimated costs of warranty obligations and sales returns and
other allowances are recognized at the time of revenue recognition based on
contract terms and prior claims experience. Our major revenue-generating
products consist of: optical passive and active components; switches and
routers; remote device management; and network physical infrastructure
equipment. Revenue generated through the sales of services and systems support
has been insignificant in relation to our consolidated revenues.
Operating Entities. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased
$30.9 million or 11% to $319.4 million from $288.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. Revenue generated through our recent acquisitions for the
year ended December 31, 2000 was $38.6 million. No acquisitions were made during
the year of 1999. Revenue from our existing business was $280.8 million and
$288.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
This change represents a decrease of $7.7 million or 3% for the year ended
December 31, 2000 due to a decrease of approximately $37.0 million or 27% due to
our decision to discontinue the production and sale of LAN switches and remote
device management products. We made this decision in order to focus on the
emerging carrier and service providers' market segment where the sales cycle is
significantly greater than the enterprise networks
7
market. This decrease was offset by the growth in the fiber optic components
business of approximately $22.0 million due to the increase in market demand
created by carrier equipment manufacturers. Our various other products
substantially accounted for the remaining increase of approximately $7.0 million
or 9% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Development Stage Enterprises. No significant revenues were generated by
these entities for the years ended 2000 and 1999.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit is equal to our revenues less our cost of goods sold. Our
cost of goods sold includes materials, direct labor and overhead. Cost of
inventory is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Operating Entities. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2000
increased $24.9 million, or 27% to $116.0 million from $91.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. Our gross margin (defined as gross profit as a
percentage of revenues) increased to 36% for the year ended December 31, 2000
from 32% for the year ended December 31, 1999. Prior to deferred stock
compensation amortization expense, MRV's gross margin would have increased to
$124.3 million or 39% for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $91.1
million or 32% for the year ended December 31, 1999. Our margins increased due
to a favorable shift in product mix towards higher margin product lines, such as
those for third generation wireless networks and other Internet infrastructure
products.
Development Stage Enterprises. No significant gross profits were generated
by these entities for the years ended 2000 and 1999.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
R&D expenses increased $38.8 million or 110% to $74.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 from $35.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Operating Entities. R&D expenses of the operating entities were $32.6
million or 10% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to
$15.3 million or 5% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. This
represents an increase of $17.3 million or 113% for the year ended December 31,
2000. Prior to deferred stock compensation amortization expense of $21.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 2000, R&D expenses would have been $11.0 million
or 3% of revenues compared to $15.3 million or 5% of revenues. This represents a
decrease of $4.3 million or 28% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Development Stage Enterprises. R&D expenses of the development stage
enterprises increased by $21.5 million or 108% to $41.5 million or 13% of
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $20.0 million or 7% of
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999. Our increased spending in R&D
illustrates our commitment to continued product development and technological
expansion. Additionally, R&D from our consolidated development stage
enterprises continued to increase as those enterprises strive towards bringing
new products to market.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A)
Operating Entities. SG&A expenses increased $56.8 million, or 84%, to
$124.7 million from $67.9 for the year ended December 31, 1999. SG&A expenses
were 39% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to 24% of
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999. Prior to the amortization of
deferred stock compensation of $30.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2000, SG&A expenses would have been $94.7 million or 30% of revenues. This
represents an increase of $26.8 million or 39% for the year ended December 31,
2000 primarily as a result of our recent acquisitions. We also increased
personnel and related costs in our operating entities during the year ended
December 31, 2000.
Development Stage Enterprises. The development stage enterprises did not
report SG&A expenses during the years of 2000 and 1999 as their activities
primarily involved the research development of products and they had yet to
develop administrative and selling functions.
8
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles increased $62.9 million to
$66.8 million from $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Furthermore, as we continue to engage in strategic acquisitions,
additional goodwill and other intangibles may be recorded.
OTHER EXPENSES, NET.
We incurred $4.5 million in interest expense relating to the Notes for
each year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in other
expense is primarily attributed to our share of losses from our unconsolidated
development stage enterprises of $7.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2000. For the year ended December 31, 1999, these entities were included in
our consolidated statements of operations based on our ownership in those
enterprises. The remaining components of other expense, principally represent
interest income recognized from short-term and long-term investments.
PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES
The benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $5.4
million, compared to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Our
income tax expense fluctuates primarily due to the tax jurisdictions where we
currently have operating facilities and the varying tax rates in those
jurisdictions.
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
REVENUES, NET
Operating Entities. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999
increased 9%, to $288.5 million from $264.1 million for the year ended December
31, 1998. Revenues from sales of networking products (switches, routers and
remote device management) and optical components products were 65% and 25%,
respectively, and service and others represent 10% of total revenues during the
year ended December 31, 1999 compared to 72%, 15% and 13% respectively, of total
revenues during the year ended December 31, 1998. Revenue increased as a result
of greater marketing efforts and wider market acceptance of our products, both
domestically and internationally. International sales accounted for
approximately 58% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to
59% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Development Stage Enterprises. No significant revenues were generated by
these entities for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
GROSS PROFIT
Operating Entities. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 1999
decreased $7.6 million, or 8%, to $91.1 million from $98.7 million for 1998.
Our gross margin decreased to 32% for the year ended December 31, 1999 from
37% during the year ended December 31, 1998 as a result of its decision to exit
the LAN switching business. During the last two years, we endured intense price
competition from our larger competitors. We had planned to compensate for this
price competition by introducing new lower cost products during 1998. We began
shipping these products in the last quarter of 1998, however, the
commoditization of these products and the economies of scale and manufacturing
advantages of our larger competitors were too difficult for us to overcome. We
recorded a charge of $13.8 million in 1999 to reduce that inventory to net
realizable value. Also in February 2000, we decided to exit the LAN switching
business.
Development Stage Enterprises. No significant gross profits were produced
by these entities during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
9
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)
R&D expenses increased $9.5 million, or 37%, to $35.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999 from $25.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 12% of revenues during the
year ended December 31, 1999, from 10% of revenues for year ended December 31,
1998. This increase was primarily caused by additional development projects
commenced during 1999 and associated personnel costs. We intend to continue to
invest in the research and development of new products as we believe that our
ability to develop and commercialize new products is our key competitive factor.
The segmentation below illustrates our change of strategy during 1999, where
substantial amounts of the resources were directed to the R&D activities in the
development stage enterprises.
Operating Entities. R&D expenses of the operating entities were $15.3
million or 5% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $23.8
million or 9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. This represents a
decrease of $8.5 million or 36% for the year ended December 31, 1999. As
discussed above, this reduction is due to the shifting of resources to
development stage enterprises.
Development Stage Enterprises. R&D expenses of the development stage
enterprises were $20.0 million or 7% of revenues for the year ended December 31,
1999 as compared to $2.0 million or 1% of revenues for the year ended December
31, 1998. This represents an increase of $18.0 million or 900% for the year
ended December 31, 1999. As discussed above, this increase is due to the
shifting of resources to development stage enterprises.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A)
Operating Entities. SG&A expenses increased $14.0 million, or 26%, to
$67.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 from $53.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. SG&A expenses were 24% of revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1999, compared to 20% of revenue for the year ended December
31, 1998. The increase in SG&A expense, both in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of revenue were due primarily to substantial increases in marketing
efforts as well as increased personnel and overhead costs in additional and
expanded locations.
Development Stage Enterprises. The development stage enterprises did not
report SG&A expenses during the years of 1999 and 1998.
PURCHASED TECHNOLOGY IN PROGRESS AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Purchased technology in progress for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
$20.6 million. The purchased technology in 1998 was related to R&D projects in
progress at the time we acquired Xyplex on January 30, 1998, which had not yet
reached technological feasibility and for which we had no alternative future
use. The majority of this charge related to the EdgeBlaster(TM) technology. The
related products were being designed to provide integrated switching at the seam
where the enterprise network meets the wide area public network, including the
Internet. The research and development was completed as planned before the end
of fiscal year 1998 and all expenses to complete the projects were included in
research and development during the year with no material variances between
projected and actual results. Restructuring costs during the year ended December
31, 1998 were $15.7 million. The restructuring costs in 1998 were associated
with our plan adopted in March 1998 calling for the reduction of workforce,
closing of certain facilities, elimination of particular product lines,
settlement of distribution agreements and other costs. The restructuring plan
was completed as originally anticipated, except for the following items. The
restructuring costs incurred in the first quarter of 1998 were offset by a
restructuring credit of $7.5 million booked during the last quarter of 1998 in
connection with our decision to consolidate the Xyplex and NBase
organizations. This credit principally resulted from the renegotiation of
Xyplex's lease in Littletown, Massachusetts and a reevaluation reducing the
anticipated cost of discontinuing some of Xyplex's legacy products. We did not
incur these charges or receive a similar credit in 1999.
10
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles increased $1.0 million to
$3.9 million from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 from 1998,
respectively. Furthermore, as we continue to engage in strategic acquisitions,
additional goodwill and other intangibles may be recorded.
OTHER EXPENSE, NET
In November 1998, we repurchased $10.0 million face amount of the Notes at
a discount from par resulting in a gain of $2.8 million recorded in the fourth
quarter of 1998. The outstanding Notes resulted in interest expense of $2.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $4.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. These expenses were offset by interest income from various
investments of approximately $5.0 million and $6.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
11
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On November 10, 2000, Luminent completed the initial public offering of its
common stock, selling 12.0 million shares at $12.00 per share and raising net
proceeds of approximately $132.3 million.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $266.3 million at December
31, 2000, compared to $34.3 million at December 31, 1999. As of December 31,
2000, we had working capital of $366.8 million, compared with $106.4 million as
of December 31, 1999. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
December 31, 2000 was 4.3 to 1, compared to 3.1 to 1 at December 31, 1999. This
is primarily due to the consolidation of MRV's recent acquisitions, cash
utilized for acquisitions and the cash Luminent received from its initial public
offering.
Cash used in operating activities was $29.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.0
million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Cash used in operating activities
was primarily impacted by our net loss, partially offset by the amortization
of goodwill and other intangibles and amortization of deferred stock
compensation. The increase in cash used in operating activities was also a
result of an overall increase in our current assets.
Cash provided by investing activities was $9.2 million for year ended
December 31, 2000, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $6.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1999. We spent approximately $24.0
million on the purchase of property and equipment for business expansion and
increased manufacturing capacity. We purchased approximately $21.6 million in
investments primarily in partner companies. We also received cash of $97.7
million from the sale of investments, which was offset by net cash used in our
recent acquisitions and equity purchases of $44.5 million.
Cash provided by financing activities was primarily generated through
net proceeds from Luminent's initial public offering and long term borrowings.
Cash provided by long term borrowings was $62.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 offset by payments of approximately $4.0 million. Net
proceeds from Luminent's initial public offering were $132.3 million. Net
proceeds from the issuance of our common stock were $7.8 million and $10.8
million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
12
In June 1998, we issued $100.0 million principal amount of 5% convertible
subordinated debentures due in 2003 in a private placement raising net proceeds
of $96.4 million. The debentures are convertible into our common stock at a
conversion price of $13.52 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of
approximately 73.94 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes), representing
an initial conversion premium of 24%, for a total of approximately 7.4 million
shares of our common stock. The debentures bear interest at 5% per annum, which
is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The debentures
have a five-year term and have been callable by us since June 15, 2001. The
premiums payable to call the debentures are 102% of the outstanding principal
amount during the 12 months ending June 14, 2002 and 101% during the 12 months
ending June 14, 2003, plus accrued interest through the date of redemption.
We believe that our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to
satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure and research and development
requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may require or choose
to obtain additional debt or equity financing in order to finance acquisitions
or other investments in our business. We will continue to devote resources for
expansion and other business requirements. Our future capital requirements will
depend on many factors, including acquisitions, our rate of revenue growth, the
timing and extent of spending to support development of new products and
expansion of sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions and
enhancements to existing products and market acceptance of our products.
MARKET RISKS
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our Consolidated
Financial Statements through adverse changes in financial market prices and
rates and inflation. Our market risk exposure results primarily from
fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We manage our
exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing
activities and have not historically hedged these risks through the use of
derivative financial instruments. The term "hedge" is used to mean a strategy
designed to manage risks of volatility in prices or interest and foreign
exchange rate movements on certain assets, liabilities or anticipated
transactions and creates a relationship in which gains or losses on derivative
instruments are expected to counter-balance the losses or gains on the assets,
liabilities or anticipated transactions exposed to such market risks.
Interest Rates. We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our
investments, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations. Our cash and
short-term investments are subject to limited interest rate risk, and are
primarily maintained in money market funds and bank deposits. Our variable-rate
short-term borrowings are also subject to limited interest rate risk due to
their short-term maturities. Our long-term obligations were entered into with
fixed and variable interest rates. In connection with our $50.0 million
variable-rate term loan due in 2003, we entered into a specific hedge, an
interest rate swap, to modify the interest characteristics of this instrument.
The interest rate swap was used to reduce our cost of financing and the
fluctuations in the aggregate interest expense. The notional amount, interest
payment and maturity dates of the swap match the principal, interest payment and
maturity dates of the related debt. Accordingly, any market risk or opportunity
associated with this swap is offset by the opposite market impact on the related
debt. To date, we have not entered into any other derivative instruments,
however, as we continue to monitor our risk profile, we may enter into
additional hedging instruments in the future.
Foreign Exchange Rates. We operate on an international basis with a
portion of our revenues and expenses being incurred in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the value of these foreign currencies in which we
conduct our business relative to the U.S. dollar will cause U.S. dollar
translation of such currencies to vary from one period to another. We cannot
predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results.
However, because we have expenses and revenues in each of the principal
functional currencies, the exposure to our financial results to currency
fluctuations is reduced. We have not historically attempted to reduce our
currency risks through hedging instruments; however, we may do so in the future.
13
Inflation. We believe that the relatively moderate rate of inflation in
the United States over the past few years has not had a significant impact on
our sales or operating results or on the prices of raw materials. However, in
view of our recent expansion of operations in Taiwan, Israel and other
countries, which have experienced substantial inflation, there can be no
assurance that inflation will not have a material adverse effect on our
operating results in the future.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998 and June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 137, which
delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 138, which provides additional guidance for the application of SFAS No. 133
for certain transactions. MRV will adopt the statement in January 2001 and does
not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements," and related interpretations. SAB 101 summarized certain of the
Securities and Exchange Commission's views in applying accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States to revenue recognition in financial
statements. MRV has applied the provisions of SAB 101 in the consolidated
financial statements. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on
its financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued interpretation No. 44 (FIN 44), "Accounting
for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25." FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB No. 25 for certain
issues, including the definition of an employee, the treatment of the
acceleration of stock options and the accounting treatment for options assumed
in business combinations. FIN 44 became effective on July 1, 2000, but is
applicable for certain transactions dating back to December 1998. The adoption
of FIN 44 did not have a significant impact on its financial position or results
of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To MRV Communications, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MRV
Communications, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1999 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MRV
Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MRV and its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. MRV consolidates
the financial results of related development stage enterprises when it has
effective control, voting control or has provided the entity's working capital.
When others invest in these enterprises reducing its voting control below 50
percent, MRV discontinues consolidation and uses the equity method of accounting
for these investments.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are
presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other
currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation,"
and are included in determining net income or loss.
For foreign operations with the local currency as the functional currency,
assets and liabilities are translated from the local currencies into U.S.
dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues,
expenses and cash flows are translated at weighted average exchange rates for
the period to approximate translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates those elements are recognized in

the financial statements. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of
translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are
included in determining comprehensive loss.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
MRV generally recognizes product revenue, net of sales discounts, returns
and allowances, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred and all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, the
fee is fixed or determinable and collection is considered probable. Products are
generally shipped "FOB shipping point" with no rights of return. Sales with
contingencies, such as rights of return, rotation rights, conditional acceptance
provisions and price protection, are rare and insignificant and are deferred
until the contingencies have been satisfied or the contingent period has lapsed.
MRV's major revenue-generating products consist of: passive and active optical
components; switches and routers; remote device management; and network
infrastructure equipment. Revenue generated through the sales of services and
systems support has been insignificant.
MRV generally warrants our products against defects in materials and
workmanship for one year. The estimated cost of warranty obligations and sales
returns and other allowances are recognized at the time of revenue recognition
based on contract terms and prior claims experience.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
MRV considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90
days or less to be cash equivalents. MRV maintains cash balances and investments
in highly qualified financial institutions. At various times such amounts are in
excess of insured limits. In connection with MRV's interest rate swap agreement
and its long-term debt (see Note 9, Interest Rate Swap), $56.2 million in cash
has been restricted until the term loan and the swap expire in 2003. As of
December 31, 2000, $132.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments were held by MRV's publicly traded subsidiary, Luminent.
INVESTMENTS
MRV accounts for its investments under the provisions of SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
As of December 31, 1999 and 2000, short and long-term investments consisted
principally of U.S. Treasury notes. As defined by SFAS No. 115, MRV has
classified its investments in these debt securities as "held-for-maturity"
investments and all investments are recorded at their amortized cost basis,
which approximated their fair value at December 31, 1999 and 2000. As of
December 31, 2000, all held-for-maturity investments were short-term expiring at
various dates through 2001.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist of
material, labor and overhead. Cost is determined by the first-in, first out
method.

</Table>
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Useful lives range from three to thirty-three years. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred and the costs of additions and betterments that
increase the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Intangible assets represent intellectual property acquired, purchased
intangible assets and the excess acquisition cost over the fair value of
tangible and identified intangible net assets of the businesses acquired
(goodwill). Purchased intangible assets include patents, assembled work forces,
customer contracts and goodwill. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line
method over five years. Other intangible assets are amortized using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 12 years.
The components of intangible assets as of December 31, 1999 and 2000 are as
follows (in thousands):

</Table>
IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLES AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS
MRV evaluates its long-term assets, such as patents, assembled work forces,
customer contracts, goodwill and property and equipment, for impairment at the
acquired business unit level whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset may be impaired. MRV considers
events or changes such as product discontinuance, plant closures, product
dispositions, a history of operating losses or other changes in circumstances
that indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying
value of an asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash
flow from such assets is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
market value. Fair market value is determined using the anticipated cash flows
discounted at a rate based on MRV's weighted average costs of capital, which
represents the blended after-tax costs of debt and equity.

DECEMBER 31, 2000
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
MRV's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents,
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and
short-term debt obligations are carried at cost, which approximates their fair
market value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value
of long-term debt obligations is estimated based on current interest rates
available to MRV for debt instruments with similar terms, degrees of risk and
remaining maturities. The carrying values of these obligations approximate their
fair values.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
In accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," development costs related
to software products are expensed as incurred until the technological
feasibility of the product has been established. Technological feasibility in
MRV's circumstances occurs when a working model is completed. After
technological feasibility is established, additional costs would be capitalized.
MRV believes its process for developing software is essentially completed
concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and,
accordingly, no software development costs have been capitalized to date.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the
temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of
assets and liabilities using the statutory marginal income tax rate in effect
for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income
tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the deferred income tax
assets or liabilities from period to period.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earning (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss)
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus all
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially
dilutive securities or common stock equivalents had been issued. Options to
purchase 4.1 million, 4.0 million and 8.2 million shares were not included in
the computation of years 1998, 1999 and 2000 diluted earnings (loss) per share
because such options were considered anti-dilutive. Warrants to purchase 5.8
million, 3.3 million and 2.4 million shares were not included in the computation
of years 1998, 1999 and 2000 diluted earnings (loss) per share because such
options were considered anti-dilutive. Shares associated with MRV's $89.6
million outstanding convertible subordinated notes were not included in the
computation of earnings (loss) per share as they were considered anti-dilutive.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
MRV accounts for its employee stock plan under the intrinsic value method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, and has adopted the
disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."
MRV accounts for option and warrant grants to non-employees using the
guidance prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. (FIN) 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation (an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25)," and Emerging
Issue Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are
Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or In Conjunction with Selling,
Goods, or Services," whereby the fair value of such option and warrant grants
are measured using the fair value at the earlier of the date at which the
non-employee's performance is completed or a performance commitment is reached.
Deferred stock compensation expense is being amortized using the graded
vesting method. Using this method, approximately 57%, 26%, 13% and 4%,
respectively, of each option's compensation expense is amortized in each of the
four years following the date of grant. Deferred stock compensation generated
during 2000 was $160.8 million of which $106.6 million was generated through
acquisitions (see Note 3) and $54.2 million was generated through stock options
granted to Luminent's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer
(see Note 12). Total deferred stock compensation expense for the year ended
December 31, 2000 was $59.9 million. There was no deferred stock compensation
expense incurred for the year ended December 31, 1999.
TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCK OF A SUBSIDIARY
At the time a subsidiary sells its stock to unrelated parties at a price in
excess of its book value, the book value of MRV's investment in that subsidiary
increases. If at that time, the subsidiary is not a newly-formed, non-operating
entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company,
nor does MRV contemplate subsequent capital transactions or intend to spin-off
the subsidiary to stockholders, MRV records the increase in its investment as a
gain in Other Income, net in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Otherwise, the increase in its investment is considered as additional paid-in
capital, which is included in Effect of Subsidiary Equity Transactions in MRV's
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.
F-11
MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
On November 9, 2000, Luminent, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MRV, issued
12.0 million shares of its common stock for $12 per share, or $144.0 million, to
complete its initial public offering. As part of MRV's plan to spin-off Luminent
to MRV stockholders, the purchase price in excess of its book value, or $49.7
million has been included in Effect of Subsidiary Equity Transactions in MRV's
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the year ended December 31,
2000.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998 and June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 137, which delayed
the effective date of SFAS No. 133. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138,
which provides additional guidance for the application of SFAS No. 133 for
certain transactions. MRV will adopt the statement in January 2001 and does not
expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," and related interpretations. SAB
101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying accounting principles
generally accepted in the Unites States to revenue recognition in financial
statements. MRV has applied the provisions of SAB 101, which did not have a
material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FIN 44, which clarifies the application of
APB No. 25 for certain issues, including the definition of an employee, the
treatment of the acceleration of stock options and the accounting treatment for
options assumed in business combinations. FIN 44 became effective on July 1,
2000, but is applicable for certain transactions dating back to December 1998.
The adoption of FIN 44 did not have a significant impact on MRV's financial
position or results of operations.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

</Table>
Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on MRV's ability to
carry losses back to prior periods or on generating sufficient taxable income
during the periods in which temporary differences will reverse. Management
reviews its deferred tax assets and has provided a valuation allowance based on
its assessment of the expected future benefit to be ultimately received from
each asset identified. Although realization is not assured, management believes
it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.
MRV generated net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately
$56.4 million and $56.4 million for federal and state income tax purposes,
respectively for the year ended December 31, 2000. Prior to December 31, 2000,
there were no federal net operating loss carryforwards available. Prior to
December 31, 2000, MRV had generated total state net operating losses of $50.3
million available to offset future taxable income through 2014. For federal and
state income tax purposes, the net operating losses generated during 2000 are
available to offset future taxable income through 2020.
In 1995, MRV, through a subsidiary in Israel, qualified for a program under
which it is eligible for a tax exemption on its income for a period of ten years
from the beginning of the benefits period. This benefit is due to expire in
2006. Due to operating losses at this subsidiary, no tax benefit was received in
2000. MRV received a tax benefit of approximately $300,000 in 1999.
MRV does not provide United States federal income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of its foreign operations. MRV's policy is to leave the
income permanently invested in the country of origin. Such amounts will only be
distributed to the United States to the extent any federal income tax can be
fully offset by foreign tax credits.
7. SHORT-TERM OBLIGATIONS
Short-term obligations consist of secured and unsecured lines of credit,
short-term loans and notes entered into with certain financial institutions. As
of December 31, 2000, these short-term obligations totaled $9.1 million.
Approximately $2.9 million in assets of MRV's subsidiaries have been pledged as
collateral on these borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on these
obligations is 6.1 percent.

9. INTEREST RATE SWAP
In April 2000, MRV entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
effectively change the interest rate characteristics of its $50.0 million
variable-rate term loan presented in Long-Term Debt, with the objective of
eliminating fluctuations in its overall borrowing costs. The swap was entered
into concurrently with the issuance of the related debt. The notional amount,
interest payment and maturity dates of the swap match the principal, interest
payment and maturity dates of the related debt. Both the swap and term loan
expire in 2003. Accordingly, any market risk or opportunity associated with this
swap is offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt. Under the
agreement, MRV is committed to pay the financial institution interest based on a
principal balance of $50.0 million at a fixed rate of 7.11 percent as of
December 31, 2000, in exchange for the financial institution's commitment to pay
MRV interest on the same principal at the one-month LIBOR rate (6.6 percent as
of December 31, 2000). MRV includes the outcome of this interest rate swap
agreement in interest expense ($217,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000).
10. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
In June 1998, MRV completed a private placement of $100.0 million principal
amount five-year, convertible subordinated notes (the Notes). The Notes bear
interest at five percent per year, payable semi-
F-20
MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
annually, and are convertible into common stock at the option of the holders.
The conversion rate is 73.94 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount
of the Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of $13.52 per share, an initial
premium above market price. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances, including dividends payable in common stock, issuance of
stock rights to all holders of common stock or stock splits or distributions to
common stockholders in connection with a tender offer. If a change in control,
as defined, occurs, the holders of the Notes have the right to require MRV to
repurchase the Notes at face value along with any interest accrued. MRV has the
right, after June 2001, to redeem the Notes at 102 percent of face value, and
after June 2002 for 101 percent of face value. The Notes are not entitled to the
benefits of any sinking fund.
In connection with the private placement, MRV incurred costs of $4.0
million. These costs are being amortized using the effective interest method
over five years, the life of the Notes. Amortization expense for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 2000 was $681,000 and $723,000, respectively.
In November 1998, MRV repurchased $10.0 million of the Notes for $5.3
million. MRV recorded an extraordinary gain of $2.8 million, net of tax, related
to the repurchase of the Notes. Included in this amount is the portion of the
Notes amortization of expense of the costs attributable to the Notes
repurchased.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEASE COMMITMENTS

ROYALTY COMMITMENT
Through subsidiaries in Israel, MRV is obligated to the Office of the Chief
Scientist of the Government of Israel (Chief Scientist) with respect to the
government's participation in research and development expenses for certain
products. Amounts received by MRV from the participation of the Chief Scientist
were offset against the related research and development expenses incurred.
Accordingly, MRV's
F-21
MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
royalty to the Chief Scientist is calculated at a rate of three percent to five
percent of sales of such products developed with the participation up to the
dollar amount of such participation. MRV received participation of $350,000 and
$500,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. No
participation was received for the year ended December 31, 2000. The remaining
future obligation as of December 31, 2000 is approximately $913,000 which is
contingent on generating sufficient sales of this selected product line.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
MRV, through foreign subsidiaries, has agreements with several financial
institutions to sell its receivables with recourse; in the event of customer's
default, MRV must repurchase the receivables. At December 31, 2000 the Company
is contingently liable for approximately $23.4 million relating to such
receivables sold with recourse. No gain or loss on the sale of these receivables
has been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
LITIGATION
In December, 1996, Datapoint brought an action against Nbase
Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("Nbase") and several other
defendants in the United States District Court, for the Eastern District of New
York alleging infringement of two of Datapoint's patents related to LANs, more
particularly to claimed improved LANs which interoperatively combine additional
enhanced capability and/or which provide multiple different operational
capabilities. In the same lawsuit, Datapoint alleges that other defendants
including Dayna Communications, Inc., Sun Microsystems, Inc., Adaptec, Inc.,
International Business Machines Corporation, Lantronix and SVEC America Computer
Corporation have infringed the same two patents. The Company has been advised
that several other companies, including Intel Corporation and Cisco Systems,
Inc., have also had actions brought against them by Datapoint with respect to
the same two patents. The action against Nbase and its codefendants seeks, among
other things, an injunction against the manufacture or sale of products which
embody the inventions set forth in the two patents and single and treble damages
for the alleged infringement. Datapoint's complaint also seeks to have the court
determine that the named defendants shall serve as representatives of a
defendant class of manufacturers, vendors and users of products allegedly
infringing on Datapoint's claimed patents from which defendant class Datapoint
seeks the same relief as from the individual defendants. In February 1999, the
court entered judgement in favor of the defendants and Datapoint filed a notice
of appeal. The Company is cooperating with several of the defendants in pursuit
of common defenses and believes the claim is without merit. If a conclusion
unfavorable to the Company is reached, however, Datapoint's claim could
materially affect the business, operating results and financial condition of the
Company.
The Company has received notices from third party alleging possible
infringement of patents with respect to product features or manufacturing
processes. Management believes such notices are common in the communications
industry because of the large number of patents that have been filed on these
subjects. The Company's policy is to discuss these notices with the senders in
an effort to demonstrate that the Company's products and/or processes do not
violate any patents. The Company is currently involved in such discussions with
Lucent, Ortel, Rockwell and the Lemelson Foundation. The Company does not
believe that any of its products or processes violate any of the patents
asserted by these parties and the Company further believes that it has
meritorious defenses if any legal action is taken by any of these parties.
However, if one or more of these parties was to assert a claim and gain a
conclusion unfavorable to the Company such claims could materially and adversely
affect the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
From time to time, MRV is a defendant in lawsuits involving matters which
are routine to the nature of its business. Management is of the opinion that the
ultimate resolution of all such matters will not have a material adverse effect
on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
AUTHORIZED SHARES
On May 10, 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders of MRV approved an
increase in the authorized number of shares of its $0.0017 par value common
stock from 80.0 million to 160.0 million shares relating to the two-for-one
stock split distributed on May 26, 2000. MRV is authorized to issue up to 1.0
million shares of its $0.01 par value preferred stock, of which none has been
issued or outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 2000.
STOCK SPLIT
The Board of Directors authorized the splitting of MRV's common stock on a
two-for-one basis for stockholders of record on May 11, 2000 and the resulting
shares from the split were distributed on May 26, 2000. All references to share
and per-share data for all periods presented have been adjusted to give effect
to this two-for-one stock split.
STOCK OPTIONS
MRV has various stock option and warrant plans that provide for granting
options and warrants to purchase shares of MRV's common stock to employees,
directors and non-employees performing consulting or advisory services for MRV.
The plans provide for the granting of options, which meet the Internal Revenue
Code requirements for qualification as incentive stock options, as well as
nonstatutory options. Under these plans, stocks option and warrant exercise
prices generally equal the fair market value of MRV's common stock at the date
of grant. The options and warrants generally vest over three to five years with
expiration dates ranging from six and ten years from the date of grant depending
on the plan. The plans provide for the issuance of 13.4 million shares of common
stock over the remaining life of the plans.
In connection with the anticipated separation of Luminent, in July 2000,
Luminent's Board of Directors and MRV approved Luminent's 2000 Stock Option Plan
(Luminent's Plan). Luminent's Plan provides for grants of qualified incentive
stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and other
stock-based awards to purchase Luminent common stock to officers, employees,
directors, consultants and advisors of Luminent. Stock-based awards are
generally granted at not less than fair market value at the grant date, and
typically vest over a four-year period and expire ten years after the grant
date. There have been 10.4 million shares of Luminent common stock reserved for
issuance under Luminent's Plan. As of December 31, 2000, 4.7 million options to
purchase Luminent common stock have been granted under Luminent's Plan.
In July 2000, Luminent and MRV entered into four-year employment contracts
with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of
Luminent. The agreements provide for annual salaries, performance bonuses and a
combination of stock options to purchase common stock of MRV and Luminent. The
CEO received approximately 316,000 options to purchase shares of MRV common
stock at $32.56 per share (a substantial discount) expiring in five years. The
CFO received approximately 22,000 options to purchase shares of MRV common stock
at $33.44 per share (a substantial discount) expiring in five years. These
options are immediately exercisable, however they provide for the repurchase in
the event of voluntary termination. These grants have been accounted for under
APB No. 25
F-23
MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2000
and the intrinsic value (fair market value less exercise price) results in
additional deferred stock compensation of approximately $10.8 million that is
being amortized over the four year vesting period. Furthermore, Luminent granted
4.8 million and 800,000 of its stock options to the CEO and CFO, respectively.
The options are exercisable at $6.25 per share and vest over four years. These
grants have been accounted for in accordance with APB No. 25 and the intrinsic
value (original mid point of filing range, $14, less $6.25) resulted in
aggregate deferred stock compensation of approximately $43.4 million. The
deferred stock compensation is being amortized using the graded vesting method
over four years. The deferred stock compensation incurred from the granting of
MRV and Luminent options for a total of $54.2 million has been included in the
consolidated financial statements of MRV.
Stock option information with respect to MRV's stock option and warrant
plans is as follows:

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
SFAS No. 123 permits companies to recognize as expense over the vesting
period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. Because MRV's stock-based compensation plans have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
management believes that the existing option valuation models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of a wards from the plan.
Therefore, as permitted, MRV applies the existing accounting rules under APB No.
25 and provides pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per
share disclosures for stock-based awards made during the year as if the fair
value method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Net loss and net loss per
share for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 would
have increased to the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per
share data):

13. SEGMENT REPORTING AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
MRV operates under a business model that creates and manages start-up
companies and independent business units. These companies fall into two
segments: operating entities and development stage enterprises. Segment
information is therefore being provided on this basis which differs from prior
period presentations.
Development stage enterprises that MRV has created or invested in are
developing optical components, subsystems and networks and products for the
infrastructure of the Internet. Operating entities of MRV design, manufacture
and distribute optical components, optical subsystems, optical networking
solutions, and Internet infrastructure products.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting polices. MRV evaluates segment performance
based on revenues and operating income (loss) of each segment. As such, there
are no separately identifiable segment assets nor are there any separately
identifiable statements of operations data below operating income.

18. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO FEBRUARY 19, 2001
During the second quarter of 2001, the management of Luminent, MRV's
publicly traded subsidiary, approved and implemented a restructuring plan as a
result of the dramatic slowdown in demand for communications equipment. During
the six months ended June 30, 2001, Luminent recorded restructuring and other
one-time charges totaling $41.2 million resulting from the lower demand for
Luminent's products and pricing pressures stemming from the continuing
deterioration in the communications equipment industry, specifically the optical
components sector.
In June, 2001, the FASB approved two pronouncements: SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets", which provide guidance on the accounting for business combinations to
be accounted for using the purchase method. Under the new rules, goodwill will
no longer be subject to amortization over its useful life. Rather, goodwill will
be subject to at least an annual impairment assessment. This assessment is a
fundamentally different two-step approach and is based on a comparison between a
reporting unit's fair value and its carrying value. Intangible assets have newly
defined criteria and will be accounted for separately from goodwill and will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. MRV plans to adopt these
pronouncements on January 1, 2002. MRV is currently reviewing these standards to
determine the impact on its results of operations and its financial position.
The most significant anticipated effect on MRV's financial statements at
adoption would be the discontinuing of the amortization of goodwill and the
possible impairment loss measured as of the date of adoption.
In September 2001, Luminent's President and Chief Executive Officer
resigned. In connection with the resignation, Luminent's President and Chief
Executive Officer received a severance package, as defined in the employment
agreement dated July 2000, providing severance payments of approximately $1.0
million and the immediate vesting of all outstanding MRV and Luminent stock
options held as of the date of resignation. The MRV and Luminent stock options
are exercisable through September 11, 2003. Additionally, an immediate
recognition of deferred compensation expenses of $18.9 million will be recorded
during the third quarter of 2001 as a result of the acceleration of these stock
options.
In September 2001, MRV and Luminent jointly announced that MRV intends to
merge Luminent into MRV through the filing of a short-form merger. All Luminent
shareholders are entitled to receive 0.43 shares of MRV common stock for each
share of Luminent common stock held. Furthermore, outstanding Luminent employee
stock options will convert into options to purchase MRV common stock at the same
ratio. The merger is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2001.
