OUR INDUSTRIES AND QUARTERLY DEVELOPMENTS
JDS Uniphase Corporation ("JDSU") is the leading provider of communications test and measurement solutions and optical products for telecommunications service providers, cable operators, and network equipment manufacturers. JDSU technologies also enable broadband and optical innovation in many essential industries such as biomedical and environmental instrumentation, semiconductor processing, aerospace and defense, and brand protection. In addition, our optical coatings are used in visual display and decorative product differentiation applications.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, JDSU changed the reporting structure to combine the former All Others, Commercial Lasers business segment with the Optical Communications business segment and formed a new business segment, Communications and Commercial Optical Products. As a result, there are three reportable segments, Communications and Commercial Optical Products, Communications Test and Measurement, and Advanced Optical Technologies, as of December 27, 2008.
Communications and Commercial Optical Products
The Communications and Commercial Optical Products business segment is a leading provider of products and technology used in the optical communications and laser markets.
The optical communications group of this business segment provides components and subsystems used by communications equipment providers for telecommunications and enterprise data communications. These products enable the transmission and transport of video, audio and text data over high-capacity fiber optic cables. Transmission products primarily consist of optical transceivers, optical transponders, and their supporting components such as modulators and source lasers, like vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Transport products primarily consist of amplifiers and ROADMS and their supporting components such as 980 nanometer (nm) pumps, passive devices, and array waveguides (AWGs). In fact, today's most advanced optical networks are built on our transport and transmission components, modules and subsystems.
JDSU optical communications products include a wide range of components,
modules, subsystems, and solutions to support and maintain customers in two
market segments: telecommunications, including access (local), metro
(intracity), long-haul (city-to-city and worldwide), and submarine (undersea)
networks; and enterprise data communications, including storage access networks
(SANs), local area networks (LANs), and Ethernet wide-area networks (WANs).
The commercial lasers group of this business segment also provides lasers employed in a wide variety of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications, from low- to high-power output, ultraviolet (UV), visible, and IR wavelengths. Our broad portfolio addresses the needs of laser clients in markets and applications such as biotechnology, materials processing, semiconductor wafer processing, solar cell processing, graphics and imaging, remote sensing/ranging, and other precision machining.
Core laser technologies include continuous-wave (cw), q-switched, and mode-locked lasers addressing application needs from cw to megahertz repetition rates. Our commercial optical products include diode-pumped solid-state lasers, industrial diode lasers, gas lasers, and fiber-based lasers.
In addition, JDSU Communications and Commercial Optical Products business segment includes our photonic power technology, an innovative power-over-fiber delivery system that converts optical power to electrical power without contributing any adverse affects. Because it is delivered over nonconducting fiber optic cable, photonic power is unaffected by radio frequency and electromechanical interference, is lighter, generates less heat, and is resistant to sparking.
This type of power delivery is ideal for applications that require a spark-free environment, or that operate under high levels of radio frequency (RF), electromagnetic interference (EMI), voltage, or other harsh conditions. This power source can be used in an ever-increasing number of applications, including medical, energy, defense, aerospace, fiber optic and wireless communications, and industrial sensors to drive sensors, gauges, actuators, low-power communications devices, and other electronic devices.
JDSU communications customers such as Alcatel-Lucent, Ciena, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Huawei, IBM, Nokia Siemens Networks, Nortel, and Tellabs manufacture network equipment used to create telecommunications and data communications. JDSU also provides commercial lasers to clients such as Applied Biosystems, ASML, Beckman Coulter, Disco, Eastman Kodak, Electro Scientific Instruments, General Dynamics, Han's Laser, KLA Tencor, Panasonic, and Sony.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See "Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements" regarding the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Impairment
We review goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, in connection with the impact of weakening market conditions on our forecasts and a sustained, significant decline in the market capitalization to a level lower than the net book value of the Company, we concluded that triggering events existed and were required to test long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment, in accordance with SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144") and SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset" ("SFAS 142") .
Under SFAS 144, our long-lived assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flow. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level. We have determined that, based on our cashflow structure, organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors, our long-lived asset groups and reporting units are: Communications Test & Measurement (excluding da Vinci) ("CommTest"), da Vinci, Communications and Commercial Optical Products ("CCOP"), Custom Optics Product Group ("COPG"), Authentication Solutions Group ("ASG"), and Flex Product Group ("Flex").
Under SFAS 144, we estimated the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the long-lived asset groups and their eventual disposal and then compared the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset groups. The cashflow period was based on the remaining useful lives of the primary asset in each long-lived asset group which ranges from 5 to 13 years. The result of the analysis indicated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the long-lived asset groups, the long-lived asset groups are recoverable; therefore, an impairment does not exist, except for da Vinci. As a result of the test, we recorded da Vinci's long-lived asset impairment charge of $7.7 million which approximates the full amount of the intangible assets associated with this asset group in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Under the first step of the SFAS 142 analysis, the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices, are considered. The fair value of the reporting units was determined based on the income approach and then compared to the results of the market approach for reasonableness. We assumed a cash flow period of 10 years, long-term annual growth rates of 4.1% to 20.5%, discount rates of 19.2% to 31.7% and terminal value growth rates of 4% to 5%. The discount rates are higher than the ones used in the last annual impairment test due to the increase in the inherent risks in the CommTest and CCOP products market that we serve. We believe that the assumptions and rates used in the interim impairment test under SFAS 144 and SFAS 142 are reasonable, but
they are judgmental, and variations in any of the assumptions or rates could result in materially different calculations of impairment amounts. The sum of the fair values of the reporting units was reconciled to our current market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. Based on the first step of the analysis, we determined that the carrying amounts of all reporting units, except Flex, were in excess of their fair value.
Under the second step of the SFAS 142 analysis, the implied fair value of goodwill requires valuation of a reporting unit's tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference. As a result, we impaired the value of our goodwill by approximately $692 million, which has been recorded as a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This charge is an estimate subject to finalization of the second step pro-forma valuation for CommTest and ASG, which, due to the timing and complexity of the valuation calculations required, is not yet complete as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 27, 2008 and is expected to be completed during the third quarter ended March 28, 2009. For CommTest and ASG, our second step goodwill impairment test estimate assumes the carrying value of assets approximates their fair value. With regard to CommTest reporting unit, the estimate of the goodwill impairment charge of $398 million approximates the difference between the reporting unit's fair value and its carrying value. With regard to ASG reporting unit, the estimate of the goodwill impairment charge of $40 million approximates the full amount of the goodwill associated with this reporting unit.
Given the current macro economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the potential impact on our business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions regarding the duration of the ongoing economic downturn, or the period or strength of recovery, made for purposes of the long-lived asset and goodwill impairment tests during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted cash flow, revenue and margin growth rates of certain long-lived asset groups and reporting units are not achieved, it is reasonably possible that an impairment review may be triggered for the remaining balance of goodwill and long-lived assets prior to the next annual review in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. If a triggering event causes an impairment review to be required before the next annual review, it is not possible at this time to determine if an impairment charge would result or if such charge would be material.
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). This statement does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies the fair value definition, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that the fair value is the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 input), then to quoted prices (in non-active markets or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are not directly observable, but that are corroborated by observable market data for the asset or liability (Level 2 input), then the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, for example, our own data about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (Level 3 input). It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement and a fair value measurement should therefore be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. SFAS 157-1 to exclude SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 to defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items . . .
