Finisar is a promising company in some hot markets. They sure are pricey at these levels though. I'd look to buy on any dips. Quite a valuation with such low revenues. What a stock market we have here.

There is an interview with the CEO on ON24.com. Just search for Finisar. You'll learn alot about what the company does and its future prospects. I also really like INPH in the SAN industry. INPH will be in terrific shape in 6 months or so.

Finisar Corporation Announces FinancialResults for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2000

February 22, 2000 04:17 PM
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2000--Finisar Corporation FNSR , a leading provider of gigabit fiber optic solutions for high-speed data networks, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended January 30, 2000.

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were a record $16.5 million, an 84% increase from $9.0 million in the prior year third quarter. Sales of optical subsystems accounted for $10.9 million in revenues, a 107% increase from $5.3 million in the comparable prior year period. Sales of test instruments were $5.6 million, a 51% increase from $3.7 million in the prior year period.

Pro forma net income for the third quarter was a record $2.1 million, or $.04 per diluted share, an increase of 189% from $734,000, or $.02 per diluted share, for the prior year period and compares to $1.3 million, or $.03 per diluted share in the previous quarter. This pro-forma net income excludes a non-cash charge for the amortization of deferred compensation from stock options granted to employees and directors prior to the Company's recent IPO. Actual net income for the third quarter including the amortization of deferred compensation was $343,000, or $.01 per diluted share, compared to $614,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Revenues of $46.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 increased 100% from $23.2 million in the prior year. Sales of optical subsystems of $31.2 million increased by 131% from $13.5 million in the prior year period. Sales of test instruments of $15.3 million increased by 57% from $9.7 million in the prior year period.

Pro forma net income for the first nine-months of fiscal 2000 totaled $5.0 million, or $.11 per diluted share, an increase of 90% from $2.6 million, or $.06 per diluted share, in the prior year. Actual net income was $1.2 million, or $.03 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $.06 per diluted share, for the prior year period.

Jerry Rawls, CEO of Finisar, commented, "Not only did Finisar achieve record sales and pro-forma profits in the third quarter, but the company also took some major steps toward greater customer diversification. EMC emerged in the quarter as our largest customer. In addition, several important Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet equipment builders qualified Finisar as a supplier. The demand for fiber optic products remains strong in these gigabit networking markets."

"Furthermore," added Rawls, "during the quarter we had important technical achievements, product introductions and subsequent product evaluations by key customers in the CATV digital return path market and the Opticity(TM) metropolitan data services market. These markets are significant new growth opportunities for Finisar."
