Overview

GigOptix, which is referred to throughout this report as GigOptix or the Company, is a leading provider of electronic engines for the
optically connected digital world and other advanced RF applications. GigOptix was incorporated in March 2008 under the laws of the state of Delaware and upon completion of the merger of GigOptix LLC and Lumera Corporation (Lumera) on
December 9, 2008, became a public reporting company on December 10, 2008. GigOptix is a successor registrant to Lumera. In November 2009 we acquired ChipX, Incorporated (ChipX).

We focus on the specification, design, development and sale of analog semiconductor integrated circuits, or ICs, multi-chip module
solutions, or MCMs, polymer modulators, and analog and mixed signal custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). We believe we are an industry leader in the fast growing market for electronic solutions that enable high-bandwidth optical
connections found in telecommunications (telecom) systems, data communications (datacom) and storage systems, and, increasingly, in consumer electronics and computing systems.

GigOptix products fall into the following main categories:



| |  |  | Laser and modulator Driver ICs and MCMs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transimpedance and Limiting Amplifier ICs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Optical Modulators;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | Broadband Radio Frequency Amplifiers; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Custom analog and mixed signal ASICs.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

These products are capable of performing in various applications, demanding a wide range of data processing speeds, from consumer electronics, which perform at data processing speeds of 3Gbps to 10Gbps,
to sophisticated ultra-long haul submarine telecommunications systems which require performance at data processing speeds from 10Gbps and 40Gbps to 100Gbps.

Through our subsidiary, ChipX, we design, develop and market three types of custom integrated circuits, also known as ASICs. Standard cell ASICs are typically targeted at high-volume applications such as
consumer devices due to their low cost. Structured ASICs are typically targeted at low- to mid-volume applications such as industrial and defense/aerospace systems due to the low upfront cost of manufacturing. Hybrid ASICs are a unique offering from
ChipX that combines the benefits of both standard cell and Structured ASICs and can be used in a broad range of applications.

ChipX has developed a portfolio of analog functions for easy integration in mixed-signal standard cell and Hybrid ASICs. The portfolio includes over 60 different functions encompassing analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and
digital-to-analog converters (DACs), regulators and various power functions, a variety of single-ended and differential inputs/outputs (I/Os) as well as many general-purpose analog functions such as operational amplifiers (op-amps) and comparators.

History

GigOptix was formed in March 2008 in order to facilitate a combination between GigOptix LLC and Lumera. Before the combination, GigOptix was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumera, and was formed to complete
the merger. Prior to the merger, we had no operations or material assets. GigOptix LLC, an operating company, was formed in June 2007 and acquired the assets of iTerra Communications LLC in July 2007 and Helix Semiconductors AG in January 2008. As a
result of the transaction set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 27, 2008, among Lumera, GigOptix LLC, Galileo Merger Sub G, LLC and Galileo Merger Sub L, Inc., on December 9, 2008, the merger was completed and
Lumera and GigOptix LLC became wholly owned subsidiaries of GigOptix, and GigOptix became the successor public registrant to Lumera.

At the time of the merger, Lumera was a developer of high performance proprietary electro-optic polymer materials and products based on these materials for various electro-optic applications. Lumeras main products in development were
10Gbps to 100Gbps modulators for use in high bandwidth, low power consumption optical networks. Lumera used polymer materials to improve the design, performance and functionality of products for use in optical communications devices and systems.

At the time of the merger, GigOptix LLC was a fabless semiconductor company specializing in the specification, design,
development and sale of integrated circuits and electronic multi-chip module solutions. GigOptix LLCs primary products consisted of drivers and receivers which are capable of performing in various applications demanding a wide range of data
processing speeds, from consumer electronics and computing systems which perform at data processing speeds of 3Gbps to 10Gbps, to sophisticated ultra-long haul trans-oceanic (submarine) telecommunications systems which require
performance at data processing speeds of 10Gbs to 100Gbps. In January 2008, GigOptix LLC acquired Helix Semiconductors, a company based in Switzerland, which enabled GigOptix LLC to expand its product offering into short reach devices and systems.

On November 9, 2009, we acquired ChipX, a leading independent fabless supplier specializing in analog and mixed signal
custom ASICs. ChipX became a subsidiary of GigOptix as a result of the merger.

Business Strategy

Our objective is to continue our development as an industry leader that offers a broad portfolio of electronic Radio Frequency (RF) analog
integrated circuits, electro-optic devices and integrated components for the optically connected digital world. We also plan to reinvigorate our portfolio of RF products now that we have made significant progress in developing our optical
communications-focused product lines. To this end, our business strategy has the following components:



| |  |  | Develop or acquire innovative products for fast growing segments using data transmission rates of 10Gbps and above. Our companys core
competency is in high speed analog semiconductor integrated circuits (IC), multi-chip-modules (MCM) and polymer modulator design. The fastest links are used in high speed 10-40 Gbps computing and communications systems, and with 100Gbps emerging in
the near future. We intend to exploit our technical competencies to be a product leader in both high speed analog RF semiconductor and modulator markets. We acquired ChipX in part to accelerate incorporation of complementary metal oxide
semiconductors (CMOS) integrated circuit design technology into our product portfolio. CMOS integrated circuits are used in the optical modules for optical communications in addition to the current GigOptix products.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pursue funding for next generation technology from joint projects with lead customers and government contracts. We plan to cooperate with system
vendors and government agencies to fund development of new technology that can be utilized in future generations of products. We aim to align our R&D investments with specific future products on our roadmap.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leverage relationships from R&D consortia to accelerate time to revenue for new technologies. Partnering on R&D projects with companies
in the value chain allows them to become early adopters
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | of new products and to shorten the time to market for the resultant products. Our company aims to do this in government funded programs where the consortia include defense contractors who
ultimately consume the products, as well as in commercial joint development projects with system vendors.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Broaden portfolio of products for existing markets to add value to key customers. Customers are seeking to concentrate their supplier base to
not only improve their own efficiency but also to enable economies of scale with their suppliers. We plan to extend our product offerings to target a higher share of customers product requirements utilizing our existing selling infrastructure.
For example, we plan to add a range of receiver devices to the GX family of products, and to leverage the LX modulator family of products in our portfolio into a higher level strategic sell to telecom customers via existing channels enabled by our
high speed driver products. Our acquisition of ChipX enables us to include CMOS integrated circuit design and allows us to take part in the making of optical modules for optical communications in addition to the current GigOptix products.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leverage existing technology and products for expansion into adjacent markets to drive growth and diversify risk. Some examples of such
opportunities that we are considering include expanding parallel products from data communication into consumer electronics, expanding Transimpedance Amplifiers (TIAs) from parallel into serial datacom and telecom markets, deriving serial products
from parallel products for consumer electronic applications, and introducing 40Gbps and 100Gbps drivers developed for optical communications into RF-Broadband applications.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Develop integrated products. Each driver within a long haul telecommunications electro-optic system is connected to a modulator. Currently, most
drivers and modulators are produced and sold as separate components and by different suppliers which are integrated into the parent systems by our customers. We plan to integrate a driver and modulator into the same package or, on the same chip,
which will potentially not only improve performance but also reduce costs. We intend to develop integrated products that combine drivers and polymer modulators and which may be sold to telecommunications electro-optic systems customers. The addition
of CMOS design capability supports the drive for integration as it is a technology highly suited to low cost integration of multiple electronic functions.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Continue to pursue strategic acquisitions. We believe that a key component of our growth is to continue to expand our business and product
offerings by pursuing a plan of growth through acquisitions. We intend to concentrate on opportunities that we believe will present attractive risk-adjusted returns due to synergies in technology, market and/or customer engagements and quality of
leadership team.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Continue to pursue production efficiencies. We intend to reduce operating expenses by continuing to pursue operating efficiencies. As a fabless
semiconductor company, we maintain low operating expenses by outsourcing the production of the majority of our products. With every acquisition we incorporated the corporate functions to eliminate redundancy and improve cost efficiencies and
maintain a single global operations, finance, sales and marketing organization. We maintain the engineering organization of each acquired company as an independent product development group. As a result, we have the GaAs-based serial RF group in
Palo Alto (GX Line), the SiGe-based device group in Zurich (HX Line), the polymer-based modulator group in Bothell (LX Line), and the Si-based ASIC group in Palo Alto (CX Line).

| |  |  | Combine historic commercialization experience with new research and development experience and operations. We have successfully taken numerous
complex driver and receiver products through the design, research and development stages into full commercialization. We intend to use this experience to bring the LX product line from the research and development phase into full commercialization.
Once in the commercialization phase, the LX product line can benefit from existing experience in commercializing complex and highly technical products and implementing a cost effective and flexible outsourced manufacturing model. This is further
enhanced with the addition of the CX team which has extensive experience in taking products to high volume manufacturing as well as compliance with International Trade and Arms Regulations (ITAR) which can be leveraged for other product lines.

Telecom and Datacom Optical Networking Markets

Our company sells electronic drivers for lasers and modulators to customers that build optical network equipment at the system level and at
the sub-system level. The telecom segment of the market generally covers longer reach links such as intercontinental undersea networks and terrestrial regional long haul and metropolitan area networks. Our products are used in these networks at the
optical to electrical (OE) intersection where the electronics meets the optical fiber.

Our products amplify and shape the
signals of the laser or modulator to achieve the best communication performance through optical cables. Telecom systems predominantly use the SONET based protocols, although the Ethernet standard prevalent in data communications is penetrating this
space.

The data communication (datacom) segment of the market covers shorter reach computerto-computer links and
networks up to 80km. The datacom market segment is a higher volume, lower price segment as it requires less demanding driver performance. Within this segment, standard form factors or MSAs are used to not only facilitate multi-vendor sourcing of
optical transceivers but also to drive down cost. Several of the industry players such as Avago and Finisar are vertically integrated and use their own internally developed drivers to improve margin. Different combinations of reach, speed and price
point require different laser or modulator solutions and so each requires a specific driver variant. For this reason, the product category that we specialize in is often referred to as Physical Medial Dependent, or PMD ICs, since these products need
to be matched to their transmission device and medium. Our company has been expanding its products for 10Gbps drivers to offer solutions for trans-oceanic ultra-long-haul, terrestrial long haul, metro and access networks. Technology acquired in the
Helix acquisition in 2008 enabled us to cover the shortest reaches in datacom in a parallel format for use in high performance computers and data centers. The current market for our products in datacom is the range of 10Gb/s pluggable single channel
and multichannel pluggable transceiver modules and active optical cables (AOC) in the standard form factors of SPF+, XFP for single channel and QSFP and SNAP12 for multi-channel computer, server and router interconnections. Our recent acquisition of
ChipX expands the capability to offer CMOS design to address more of the available market in optical communications both through custom ASICs and in future high speed analog products to be created by integrating the CX team into our research and
development organization.

Growth in the telecom and datacom markets is driven by exponential growth of internet bandwidth
demand, primarily related to video and audio content distribution. Both segments are transitioning to higher data rates. The telecom demand for 40Gbps systems is on the rise and it is expected the 100Gbps Ethernet standard will be ratified in 2010.
This will result in production devices being manufactured to meet this standard in the same year of its introduction. We have launched a number of products in 2009 to support the 40Gbps and 100Gbps Ethernet standards with others still in development
phase for release in 2010.

In 2008, Finisar and Optium merged and Opnext acquired Stratalight. Additionally, in April 2009,
Bookham and Avanex merged. We expect that continued consolidation among the transponder and transceiver maker customer base will lead to increased buying power of the remaining companies and thus increased price pressure in the coming period.

Consumer Electronics Market

Within the consumer electronics (CE) market, demand for appliances with high definition graphics systems and components capable of processing large amounts of data has increased dramatically in recent
years. Our company believes that a key driver in the increased demand for consumer electronics products such as multimedia home and laptop computers, cell phones, gaming consoles, digital cameras and high-definition televisions, has been the rapid
development of consumer electronics technologies supporting new features and functionalities combined with rapid price erosion associated with volume increase. Consumer electronics products increasingly require components which are capable of
processing ever faster data rates to support the continuous need for product enhancement. Using copper interconnects to support the higher bandwidths demanded becomes more challenging, as at speeds above 10Gbps, copper interconnects power
consumption

increases and they become a source of increased levels of electro-magnetic interference (EMI) which requires significant efforts and costs to manage in sensitive electronic devices. We believe
that transitioning from traditional copper-based interconnects to optical interconnects may address these issues and provide a solution to consumer electronics manufacturers. Therefore, increasing interconnect speeds and the associated need to
manage interference and power will provide ever increasing and new opportunity for optical links. This vision was endorsed in 2009, when the industry saw announcements from major chip, computer and TV manufacturers, Intel, Apple and Sony, on
collaboration to introduce the use of optics for high speed cables to transfer data between appliances.

The current market
for our products is in active optical cables for DVI and HDMI. We estimate that the market size by volume for these products in 2009 was approximately 50,000 cables and this is anticipated to grow substantially according to market reports. We supply
two to four devices per cable or unit. We are one of only two suppliers who sell these devices into the merchant market. The remaining suppliers are vertically integrated and keep the devices for internal consumption only. We sell parallel
four-channel 3Gbps VCSEL driver and receiver pairs into this market.

We believe that the market for optical interconnects
within CE appliances will continue to develop over the next three years. We have been working with leading CE manufacturers on specifications and prototypes for future devices. We believe that the slowdown in the economy has delayed or reduced the
investment by CE suppliers into optimized CE solutions. However, the delay may result in an opportunity for use of our current generation of devices in niche applications as the market explores the capabilities of existing technology. This could
provide an opportunity for our existing products. We believe it will be necessary to carefully monitor the appropriate timing for investment in new generations of products for this segment and will aim to release products targeting the CE market in
a way that maximizes our return on research and development costs. The acquisition of ChipX increases our offering and capabilities in the CE market. Not only does the CX product line bring CE market customers to us, but also intellectual property
and CMOS technology needed for low cost, high volume integrated circuits and foundry relationships which can be leveraged to support development and manufacturing of such devices. Furthermore, we expect to be able to use CMOS technology to create
next generation CE products with reduced energy consumption and cost as compared to current generation products.

Defense and
Aerospace

Similar to the telecom market, the market for microwave components and modulators for defense and aerospace
applications includes a value chain of OEMs, government agencies and sub-contractors as well as the sub-assembly manufacturers who sell to them. Our company sells to each of these types of customers. This segment is diverse and characterized for the
most part by relatively small volumes, highly specialized specifications and moderate to high selling prices.

In 2007, we
reduced our portfolio of devices in this space to reduce support costs and allow us to focus on our optical networking portfolio and penetration of this market. However, the remaining range of broad-band amplifiers in the portfolio continues to sell
well as the products have some unique capabilities. We announced the addition of two new broadband amplifier and two new limiter products for this market in 2009 as well as extending the operating temperature range of existing devices to open up new
opportunities, which expands our monolithic microwave IC (MMIC) portfolio for this segment.

In addition, we have established
relationships with government contractors and agencies which enable us to bid on technology development projects for the U.S. military and other governmental agencies. We continue to partner with other organizations including major government
subcontractors and academic institutions on the application of our unique electro-optic polymer modulators and materials for use in optical antenna for radar systems, super-computing and communications applications. The LX modulator devices are well
suited for these applications as they are radiation hardened, light weight, wide bandwidth, able to operate at low temperatures and offer low power consumption. The opportunity to couple modulators and drivers will allow us to extend the total
available market (TAM) and revenue in this market.

The market for custom ASICs in this space is significant as very few highly integrated
standard products are tailored to meet specific needs because there is little standardization which means OEMs have the opportunity to drive value through differentiation. As such, projects are often highly customized with low volumes but high value
as customers choose to invest in their own ASIC designs. For the defense markets, certification to ITAR standards is essential and the CX product line enjoys the fact that this certification has been maintained by ChipX over the years which is a
differentiator in the segment.

We have opportunities to cross-sell optically connected applications which are set to become
important to support the information gathering and display required by the military and also our polymer modulators and broad-band amplifiers for advanced radar systems to the CX customer base in this market.

Industrial, Instrumentation and Medical

The industrial market is similar to the defense and aerospace market with regard to the opportunity for custom designed products. The products in this segment can be part of large automation installations
or high value equipment and justify the investment of a tailored ASIC design. The segment is also characterized by low- to mid-volume projects which do not warrant merchant suppliers to develop highly integrated cost effective standard product
solutions. Therefore, the use of programmable or customer designed ASICs is common.

The relationship and trust developed
between a customer and the CX design team during an ASIC development is a significant asset which can be leveraged to facilitate an important cross selling opportunity for other GigOptix products. Our iT range of limiters and broad-band amplifiers
are applicable to this segment and we expect to see a benefit from the CX channel into this market.

Product Development

Our objective is to continue to execute our commercialization strategy and enhance our product platform development and sales and marketing
channels, while completing the development of the proprietary polymer modulator products and adding them to our existing portfolio, in order to become an industry leader in the delivery of electronic engines for optically connected communications
systems. Through the acquisition of ChipX we have expanded our offerings to include additional electronic devices in an optical interface module or transponder. With the addition of mixed signal design in CMOS capability and related intellectual
property, we will be able to accelerate the development of these devices thereby increasing our available market and providing a richer portfolio of products to Optical Module and system vendors. Additionally, telecom system vendors commonly use the
custom ASIC approach. This acquisition will allow us to provide these services to our tier one optical networking customer base where ChipX did not have a significant presence.

We believe we can build upon our research and development foundation to further enhance development of innovative products for our existing
and new markets and intend to use our commercialization experience and expertise to accelerate the introduction of these new innovative products to the marketplace. We will also build upon the relationships established with government agencies and
industry strategic partners to jointly fund advanced innovation.

Our engineering, product development and technical support
staff consisted of 44 full-time employees as of December 31, 2009, which represents about 45% of our headcount. Expenditures for research and development were $4.4 million in fiscal 2008 and $6.3 million in 2009.

We are able to use our proprietary research and development expertise to develop innovative products for optically connected communications
systems. For instance, we believe that polymer materials engineered at the molecular level may have a role in future commercially relevant electro-optic products. Polymers are large carbon-based molecules that bond many small molecules together to
form a long chain. Polymer materials can be engineered and optimized to create a system in which unique electrical, chemical and optical characteristics can be controlled. As data rates increase beyond 40Gbps, the performance of currently used
commercial modulators

##### Table of Contents

based on crystalline technologies such as LiNbO3, GaAs, and InP degrades significantly. The performance needed at very high data rates can be achieved by an expensive approach of paralleling
several modulators together, or by means of alternative technologies such as the higher bandwidth electro-optic (EO) polymers which have been shown to work up to 100Gbps.

We can use our technical expertise, developed through years of investment in research and development of the combined acquired entities, to maximize effectiveness in development of new semiconductor
products. There are a range of semiconductor process technologies which offer different characteristics. The most commonly known and most widely used in digital electronics is CMOS which has been the platform for the Moores Law
cost reduction path through integration. However, CMOS technology is not well suited for the longer reach optical Physical Media Dependent (PMD) integrated circuits (ICs), as it cannot support the high voltages needed to drive certain optical
components. Instead, compound semiconductor technologies, known as III-V, such as Indium Phosphide (InP), and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), are used to provide the best performance for long reach devices. For low current modulation laser devices, such as
LD and VCSEL, the Silicon Germanium (SiGe) process is suitable as it combines the benefits of the high speeds with the integration possibilities of CMOS allowing greater levels of integration to allow more sophisticated control of the devices. Being
fabless and materials-agnostic, we are able to select the most appropriate materials and processing technology available from our InP, GaAs and SiGe foundry partners to serve each application with optimal price performance and provide the best
solutions to our companys customers, enabling the rapid development and deployment of 10Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps systems. With the addition of the CX product line, we have added CMOS technology to our portfolio, giving us truly diverse
technology options which can be optimally selected for a particular application.

Developing ICs to overcome all of the
challenges that high speed, large bandwidth transmission and reception systems present requires the convergence of the following key technical skills and technologies:



| |  |  | Millimeter-wave and analog design techniques on high voltage III-V semiconductor technology;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Highly integrated solutions with multiple digital functionalities and interfaces, typical of lower frequency silicon technology like SiGe and CMOS; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | High performance packaging to preserve signal integrity.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

GX Products

In 2009, we commercialized products in our GX product
line that were developed during 2008. The GX product family includes optical modulator and laser drivers and receivers which are integrated into high-speed 10Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps transponders and transceivers, the subsystems that are part of
telecom networks switches and routers, as well as data centers. GX products are sold into data communications and telecommunications markets and can be deployed across a diverse array of optical networks, from sophisticated trans-oceanic
ultra-long-haul and terrestrial long-haul to metro and enterprise networks, with the most significant being the following:



| |  |  | GX6120, an 11.3G EA modulator driver that supports applications that use differential in and differential out topology; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | GX6155, a 12.5G NRZ modulator driver in a ceramic package that targets 10Gbps 300-pin transponder applications for long-haul and metro communication
links.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have further expanded our GX product line by commercializing new products for 40Gbps and 100Gbps
applications as well as the optimization of existing commercialized products in the GX product line, including:



| |  |  | GX6261, a 40Gbps differential DQPSK modulator driver with a ceramic package that targets 40Gbps transponder applications for long-haul and metro
communication links; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | The GX3 series of transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) for 10Gbps, 40Gbps and 100Gbps receive optical sub-assemblies (ROSA) and transceivers.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we have a new line of TIAs which include seven new ICs that are used on the reception side as
opposed to the drivers which are used on the transmission side of the optical link. This represents an increase of market opportunity as a TIA is needed for each driver used. In addition, this product line addresses not just long reach applications
but also shorter reach high-volume applications. The products come from a successful collaboration between the design teams in Palo Alto and Zurich and were developed in close cooperation with leading transponder manufacturers.

HX Products

The HX
product portfolio includes laser drivers, TIAs and limiting amplifiers for use in multi-channel and short reach applications more commonly known as optical interconnects. HX products are sold for integration into CE, datacom and telecom systems and
Active Optical Cables. HX products are market leaders in Optical Receiver Transmitter Array products, which consist of driver and receiver arrays for 4-channel and 12-channel modules running at 3Gbps to 10Gbps per channel with aggregate speeds
of up to 120Gbps. By adding to our HXT/R3xxx family of 5Gbps 4- and 12-channel VCSEL drivers, a TIA, GigOptix-Helix has developed parallel drivers and receivers, including 4- and 12-channel 10G VSCEL drivers and 4 and 12-channel 10G TIAs to support
40G and 100G datacom applications.

In 2009, we have commercialized our 10G parallel line that addresses the 40G BASE-SR4,
100G BASE-SR10, MSA, QSFP, SNAP12 and InfiniBand QDR markets and have embarked upon a major drive to support customers as they design in these products for production in 2010. These devices have been used to demonstrate the industrys lowest
ultra low power consumption when measured in terms of energy per bit, achieving 8mW/Bb/s which amounts to a drastic saving of energy consumption in data centers if deployed as compared to older technology. We are cooperating with major datacenter
system vendors to create highly anticipated products for this segment which we expect will be a major contributor to limiting the growth in energy consumption of data centers as they move to higher speed optical interconnects.

In addition, the HX3 series operating at 5Gbps has seen a resurgence in design-in activity as new companies enter the active optical cable
market with optical HDMI and DVIcables for consumer and professional digital video installations.

LX Products

The LX product family includes electro-optical modulators and high-speed optical waveguides based on our unique patented electro-optic
polymer technology which was developed through extensive research and development activities at Lumera prior to the merger with GigOptix in 2008. LX modulators may be integrated into telecommunications transponders and data communication
transceivers and operate at high data rates from 10Gbps up to 100Gbps. They are also applicable to advanced radar systems where they can be combined with arrays of antenna elements to create a direct low loss optical conversion of the signal. We
believe that the polymer modulator is potentially a highly differentiated product with a compelling value proposition that can be successfully commercialized. We believe that relationships with existing customers of our GX product line can be
leveraged to generate future LX product line revenues, as can the newly acquired ChipX customers in the defense and aerospace market.

In 2009, the LX product line activities were focused on development contracts for U.S. government research agencies, including DARPA and Air Force Research Laboratories. The focus is to extend the capability of the technology into wider
operating temperature ranges and to ready it for volume production with extensive environmental and reliability testing. These activities generated the majority of revenue in 2009 in the LX product line. In 2009, we also sold the first commercially
available 40Gbps and 100Gbps packaged polymer

based modulators for microwave photonic and research applications. We have partnered with a number of companies and research organizations to develop new applications for this technology such as
the ultra fast analog to digital converter. During 2009, we have made progress in the commercialization of a 40Gbps DPSK modulator by partnering with a contract manufacturer for the optical packaging of the devices.

In the future, we intend to maintain our valuable focus on continued innovation in the area of electro-optic polymer modulators to enable us
to position our company as an industry leader in ultra fast modulators, while aggressively moving forward with the commercialization of LX modulator products in partnership with industry leading contractor manufacturers (CMs), such as Sanmina.
Through the productization and commercialization of the LX polymer modulators, we hope to enhance performance, reduce the physical size and lower the cost in order to provide a viable alternative to the currently available modulator technologies. In
addition, our company intends to develop technology to allow the integration of the electro-optic polymer modulators with electronic circuits at the silicon wafer level to advance the capabilities of photonic integration for next generation
communication and computing systems.

iT Products

Our legacy is built upon the iT product line. Fiscal year 2009 was a solid year for this product line, with revenue growth through the expansion of the customer base and applications offering. We believe
there are numerous new application opportunities in both the defense and aerospace and test and measurement markets that we have not fully exploited.

In 2009, we announced new products including a 20G bandwidth limiting amplifier and a single bias broadband amplifier to augment our existing product offering.

CX Products and Services

As a supplier of custom ASICs and design services, the CX team helps companies turn their electronic design ideas into ICs which are uniquely defined for their own product needs. Customers choose ASICs for a number of reasons, including: to
differentiate their products, to reduce cost or power consumption by using one custom IC, or to replace more costly and energy inefficient programmable devices such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays or FPGAs.

A custom ASIC makes sense where the merchant market of standard products does not make a standard product that adequately serves a
customers particular purpose or application. Many large semiconductor companies offer custom services for high volume customers. However, there is a large market for the next tier of applications where a custom chip is needed but the volumes
are smaller. A typical custom ASIC developed by us ships in the 10s-100s of thousands of units over a 3-5 year lifetime. There are over 100 custom ASICs in production in the CX product line. Customers place orders for custom ASICs more than three
months in advance to secure delivery. Customers fund designs of custom ASICs on a non-recurring engineering (NRE) charge basis.

The CX product and service line utilizes a set of design tools and a library of functional building blocks to select from to complete customers ASIC designs. To reduce a customers risk, these building blocks are generally previously
proven in their final production form in silicon and are known as IP blocks. We provide added value by offering IP blocks which cover numerous analog functions which tend to be the more specialized and challenging IP blocks for the
customers own designers to create by themselves as well as the more common digital and mixed signal IP blocks. When possible, the CX team assesses third party IP blocks to add to the portfolio on a make vs buy basis.

Our CX product
research and development activities are focused on developing design flows using proprietary and 3rd party CAD tools, libraries and IP blocks to support our ASIC offerings.

Our CX product customer engineering team, responsible for implementing customer designs, is dedicated to supporting customers through the
process of turning designs into a final production product. This team integrates all the design elements provided by the customer together with selected IP blocks into the final design and then works with third party foundries to deliver a final
custom chip ready for production, including a production test program to guarantee a quality product.

Competition

Competition within the markets that we serve is fragmented, with each market segment having a different set of competitors. This
fragmentation is the basis for our belief that consolidation of products serving multiple market segments and multiple tiers within market segments can bring value to customers in these markets and be an effective strategy for growth. However, no
assurance can be given that our competitors will not develop new technologies or enhancements to existing products or introduce new products that will offer superior price or performance features, or undergo consolidation to enhance their product
portfolio offering base. We expect that our competitors will offer new and existing products at prices necessary to gain or retain market share. Some of our competitors have substantial financial resources, which may enable them to better withstand
sustained price competition or a market downturn. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the price or performance of our products, or otherwise.

GX Products

In the telecom and serial datacom segments, the most
notable competitors are Triquint, OKI, Vitesse, InPhi and Gennum. In 2008, we were able to compete well on performance and price with the driver vendors. We saw increased price pressure in 2009 due to the industry down turn and we believe our
products are well positioned to compete due to our low cost and outsourced flexible manufacturing. We intend to continue to drive down costs and improve efficiencies to follow expected price erosion.

HX Products

The
most notable competitors in the merchant market for parallel PMD ICs are Zarlink, Finisar and Avago which are all vertically integrated transceiver module manufacturer that also may offer its PMD ICs to the third party merchant market. It has a
comparable product to ours but has been later to market in offering a 10Gbps solution. A vertical integration model may be viewed negatively by a customer looking to purchase PMD ICs as the vendor is a competitor at the sub-system level. We do not
intend to pursue a vertical integration model in this

##### Table of Contents

market segment. In addition to those companies, IPtronics, which is a venture-funded startup specializing in parallel optical interconnect with a family of devices at 10Gbps, is also a direct
competitor. Its 10Gbps product portfolio is comparable to ours and the breadth of its product portfolio ranges from 5Gbps to 12.5Gbps.

LX Products

Major competitors in this space include JDSU, Avanex, Sumitomo and Fujitsu with Lithium
Niobate modulators, which is the product which is currently the dominating product in the market, as well as Oclaro, the leading supplier of Indium Phosphide based modulators. We expect that once the production has been finalized, the polymer
modulators will become competitive with Lithium Niobate and Indium Phosphide products in terms of pricing and will, in some key aspects, provide significant performance advantages that will differentiate the polymer modulators in the market.

iT Products

Our ultra-broad-band amplifiers and limiters offer excellent performance with best in class gain flatness and low noise figures. The main competitors to these products are Triquint, Northrop Grumman (for internal use) and Mimix.

CX Products

Our
ASICs compete in the custom integrated circuit industry, an industry that is intensely competitive. In the low- to mid-volume market, the primary competitors include Lattice Semiconductor and Actel Corporation. In the mid- to high-volume market,
there are over 30 companies competing in this market. Companies that we compete with most often include On- Semiconductor, eSilicon, Open Silicon, Faraday, Toshiba and eASIC.

We believe that important competitive factors in the custom integrated circuit industry include: Product pricing, time-to-market, product
performance, reliability and quality, power consumption, availability and functionality of predefined IP cores, inventory management, access to leading-edge process technology, track record of successful product execution and achieving 1st time
working silicon, ability to provide excellent applications support and customer service, ability to offer a broad range of ASIC solutions to retain existing customers, and compliance with ITAR.

Customers

We have a global
customer base with revenue for 2008 and 2009 split geographically as follows; Europe 49%, United States 25% and Asia 26% and United States 49%, Europe 27% and Asia 24%, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Alcatel-Lucent and its subcontractor Mitel-TeleOptix/Linkra represented 38% of our revenue, and
three other companies represented 14%, 12% and 10%. For the year ended December 31, 2009, contracts with the U.S. Government represented 24% of our revenue, Alcatel-Lucent represented 23% of our revenue and ZTE represented 10% of our revenue.

Operations and Manufacturing Process

Our headquarters are located in Palo Alto, California, where the GX and CX product line design activities are based. We also maintain an office in Bothell, Washington, where the LX product line is
designed, the GigOptix-Helix Switzerland office in Zurich, which is the design center for the HX product line and Haifa, Israel, which is a design center for the CX product line. We are continuing to use our current foundries and contract
manufacturing partners to support our cost effective, virtual manufacturing model. Our strategy is to focus our resources on intellectual property development and creating new standard products for target markets and custom integrated circuits for
customers. We continuously evaluate opportunities to enhance our foundry relationships to ensure continued supply for our customers, on-time delivery and periodic cost reductions. Our

partner foundries include IBM, Austria Micro Systems, Win Semiconductors and Eudyna (Sumitomo), and with the acquisition of ChipX, we have added as new foundry partners, United Microelectronics
Corporation (UMC), Chartered Semiconductor, Tower Semiconductor and Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE). We will leverage these new relationships to drive efficiencies.

We will also continue to partner with new and existing government and commercial partners to share the development risk and reward. We are
ISO 9001 certified. Our subsidiary, ChipX has also achieved Sony Green certification for its packaging and assembly processes and quality management of its subcontractors and is also ITAR certified.

Intellectual Property

We
believe that a robust technology portfolio which is assessed and refreshed periodically, is an essential element of our business strategy. We believe that our success will depend in part on our ability to:



| |  |  | Obtain patent and other proprietary protection for the materials, processes and device designs that we develop;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Enforce and defend patents and other rights in technology, once obtained;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third parties; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Preserve our companys trade secrets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

Intellectual Property Portfolio

Our companys intellectual
property principally includes patentable inventions and trade secrets. We have developed some of this intellectual property internally and have also acquired intellectual property from our strategic partners. Our company and our strategic partners
protect intellectual property by filing domestic and foreign patent applications, where appropriate, and by maintaining an active program designed to preserve the confidentiality of its trade secrets. With respect to inventions and other
intellectual property created under our development contracts with the U.S. government and government contractors, we typically have the right to retain title to any patents that are issued to us in connection with the performance of these
contracts, with the government retaining a non-exclusive license to use the patented technology for government purposes. The government typically also retains rights in any technical data that we develop using federal funding and deliver under a
development contract. If we do not comply with government requirements with respect to inventions developed under these development contracts, the government could demand ownership of the inventions, in which case we would retain a license to use
the inventions.

Through our ChipX subsidiary, we develop a broad range of mixed-signal and analog intellectual property,
which is used to integrate in customer ASICs. The intellectual property includes but is not limited to analog-to-digital converters, digital to analog converters, Input/Outputs (I/Os), Physical layer functions (PHYs), amplifiers, comparators,
multiplexers, regulators, charge pumps and various other analog functions.

We have 45 United States patents issued and two
currently pending United States patent applications. We also license patented technology from the University of Washington. Many of the pending and issued U.S. patents have one or more corresponding internal or foreign patents or applications. Our
patents will begin to expire in 2014.

Although we believe our patent portfolio is a valuable asset, the discoveries or technologies covered by the patents, patent applications or
licenses may not have commercial value. Issued patents may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competitors. Other parties may be able to design around our issued patents or independently develop technology having effects similar
or identical to its patented technology. The scope of our patents and patent applications is subject to uncertainty and competitors or other parties may obtain similar patents of uncertain scope. Other parties may discover uses for polymers or
technology different from the uses covered in our patents or patent applications and these other uses may be separately patentable. Other parties may have patents covering the composition of polymers for which we have patents or patent applications
covering only methods of use of these polymers.

Third parties may infringe the patents that we own or license, or claim that
our potential products or related technologies infringe their patents. Any patent infringement claims that might be brought by or against our company may cause it to incur significant expenses, divert the attention of its management and key
personnel from other business concerns and, if successfully asserted against us, require us to pay substantial damages. In addition, a patent infringement suit against our company could force us to stop or delay developing, manufacturing or selling
potential products that are claimed to infringe a patent covering a third partys intellectual property.

We periodically
evaluate our patent portfolio based on our assessment of the value of the patents and the cost of maintaining such patents, and may choose from time to time to let various patents lapse, terminate or be sold.

Employees

As of
December 31, 2009, we had 98 full-time employees, including 44 engineers, electrical and chemical; 25 in manufacturing, operations, and quality, 15 in global sales and marketing and 14 in general and administrative. As of March 31, 2010,
we had 89 employees.

We and our predecessors have incurred substantial operating losses in the past and we
may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.

The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations
since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred net losses of $10.0 million and $7.7 million respectively, and cash outflows from operations of $3.8 million and $6.7 million respectively. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $69.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively. We expect development, sales and other operating expenses to increase in the future as we expand our business. If our revenue
does not grow to offset these expected increased expenses, we may not be profitable. In fact, in future quarters we may not have any revenue growth and our revenues could decline. Furthermore, if our operating expenses exceed expectations, financial
performance will be adversely affected and we may continue to incur significant losses in the future.

In addition, we
acquired ChipX in November 2009 which incurred net losses of $5.7 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and an additional net loss of $3.3 million for the period from January 1, 2009 through the date of acquisition
of November 9, 2009.

We will require additional capital to continue to fund our operations. If we do not obtain additional capital, we
may be required to substantially limit operations.

We do not expect to generate sufficient cash needed to finance our
anticipated operations for the foreseeable future from such operations. Accordingly, we will need to seek funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements including collaborations. We could
require additional financing sooner than expected if we have poor financial results, including unanticipated expenses, or an unanticipated drop in projected revenues. Such financing may be unavailable when needed or may not be available on
acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and these securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If
adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, we may be required to limit our operations substantially. These limitations of operations may include a
possible sale or shutdown of portions of the business, reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs.

There may be a limited public market for our common shares, and the ability of our stockholders to dispose of their common shares may be limited.

Our common shares have been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since December 2008. We cannot foresee the degree of liquidity that will be associated with our common shares. A holder of our common shares
may not be able to liquidate his, her or its investment in a short time period or at the market prices that currently exist at the time the holder decides to sell. The market price for our common stock may fluctuate in the future, and such
volatility may bear no relation to our performance.

Substantial future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our
stock price to fall.

As of March 24, 2010, we had approximately 9,324,589 shares of common stock outstanding,
approximately 1,500,900 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our stock option plans and



20

##### Table of Contents

warrants to purchase approximately 2,012,038 shares outstanding. Additional sales of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may
issue additional shares of our common stock in the future in private placements, public offerings or to finance mergers or acquisitions.

We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of our recent mergers with ChipX and Lumera.

Our future
success will depend in significant part on our ability to realize the cost savings, operating efficiencies and new revenue opportunities that are expected to result from the integration of the GigOptix, Lumera and ChipX businesses. Our operating
results and financial condition will be adversely affected if we are unable to integrate successfully the operations of GigOptix, Lumera and ChipX, fail to achieve or achieve on a timely basis such cost savings, operating efficiencies and new
revenue opportunities, or incur unforeseen costs and expenses or experience unexpected operating difficulties that offset anticipated cost savings. In particular, the integration of GigOptix, Lumera and ChipX may involve, among other matters,
integration of sales, marketing, billing, accounting, quality control, management, personnel, payroll, regulatory compliance, network infrastructure and other systems and operating hardware and software, some of which may be incompatible and
therefore may need to be replaced.

Any estimates of cost savings are based upon our assumptions concerning a number of
factors, including operating efficiencies, the consolidation of functions, and the integration of operations, systems, marketing methods and procedures. These assumptions are uncertain and are subject to significant business, economic and
competitive conditions that are difficult to predict and often beyond our control.

Integrating the GigOptix and ChipX businesses may
divert managements attention away from our operations.

Successful integration of the operations, products and
personnel of GigOptix and ChipX may place a significant burden on our management and internal resources. The diversion of managements attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could otherwise harm our
business, financial condition and operating results. The integration will require efforts from each company, including the coordination of general and administrative functions. For example, integration of administrative functions includes
coordinating employee benefits, payroll, financial reporting, purchasing and disclosure functions. Delays in successfully integrating and managing employee benefits could lead to dissatisfaction and employee turnover. Problems in integrating
purchasing and financial reporting could result in control issues, including unplanned costs. In addition, the combination of the GigOptix and ChipX organizations may result in greater competition for resources and elimination of product development
programs that might otherwise be successfully completed.

Our strategy of growth through acquisition could harm our business.

It is our intent to continue to grow through strategic acquisitions. Successful integration of newly acquired target companies
may place a significant burden on our management and internal resources. The diversion of managements attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration processes could harm our business, financial condition and
operating results. In addition, we may be unable to execute our acquisition strategy, resulting in under-utilized resources and a failure to achieve anticipated growth.

Restrictive covenants under our credit facilities with Bridge Bank and Agility Capital may adversely affect our operations.

Our credit agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. (Bridge Bank) contains a number of restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating
and financial restrictions on our ability to, without prior written approval from Bridge Bank:



| |  |  | Merge or consolidate, or permit any of our subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization, or acquire, or permit
any of our subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Create, incur, or assume any indebtedness, other than certain indebtedness permitted under the credit agreement with Bridge Bank; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Make dividends or distributions or repurchase capital stock in excess of $0.5 million per fiscal year.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our loan agreement with Agility Capital, LLC (Agility Capital) contains similar restrictive covenants.

In addition, at any time that loans under the Bridge Bank credit agreement are outstanding, we are required to maintain an Asset
Coverage Ratio of (a) cash maintained at Bridge Bank plus 80% of our accounts receivable under 90 days from invoice date to (b) indebtedness owed to Bridge Bank of not less than 1.75 to 1.00, measured as of the end of each month.
Further, we must maintain certain levels of maximum loss and minimum net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement, in the quarter ending December 31, 2009, we must not incur a GAAP net loss greater than $4.6 million. For the quarter ending March 31, 2010, we
must not incur a GAAP net loss greater than $0.75 million and for all quarters thereafter, we must maintain positive GAAP net income.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009 we incurred a GAAP net loss in excess of $4.6 million which violated the maximum GAAP net loss covenant in the agreement.

A failure to comply with the covenants contained in our credit facility could result in an event of default under the facilities or the
existing agreements which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remedy our material weakness or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected.

In connection with
the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in rules established by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, were identified. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual
or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness was attributed to us not maintaining a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and
training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. While we have adopted a remediation plan, we are only in the initial stage of executing this plan and we do not believe
that the material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2009.

In addition, other material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting may be identified in the future. If we fail to remediate the material weakness or fail to implement required new or improved controls, or encounter difficulties in their
implementation, it could harm our operating results, cause failure to meet our SEC reporting obligations on a timely basis or result in material misstatements in our annual or interim financial statements.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small number of customers and the loss of one or more of these key customers, the diminished
demand for our products from a key customer, or the failure to obtain certifications from a key customer or its distribution channel could significantly reduce our revenue and profits.

A relatively small number of customers account for a significant portion of our revenue in any particular period. For instance, Alcatel and
contracts with the U.S. Government accounted for 23% and 24%, respectively,



22

##### Table of Contents

of revenue for fiscal year 2009. One or more of our key customers may discontinue operations as a result of consolidation, liquidation or otherwise, or reduce significantly its business with us
due to the current economic conditions. Reductions, delays and cancellation of orders from our key customers or the loss of one or more key customers could significantly further reduce our revenue and profits. There is no assurance that our current
customers will continue to place orders with us, that orders by existing customers will continue at current or historical levels or that we will be able to obtain orders from new customers.

We rely on a small number of development contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and government contractors for a large portion of our revenue.
The termination or non-renewal of one or more of these contracts could reduce our future revenue.

24% of our revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2009 was derived from performance on a limited number of development contracts with various agencies within the U.S. government. Any failure by us to continue these relationships or significant disruption or
deterioration of our relationship with the Department of Defense may reduce revenues. Government programs must compete with programs managed by other contractors for limited and uncertain levels of funding. The total amount and levels of funding are
susceptible to significant fluctuations on a year-to-year basis. Our competitors frequently engage in efforts to expand their business relationships with the government and are likely to continue these efforts in the future. In addition, our
development contracts with government agencies are subject to potential profit and cost limitations and standard provisions that allow the U.S. government to terminate such contracts at any time at its convenience. Termination of these development
contracts, a shift in government spending to other programs in which we are not involved, or a reduction in government spending generally or defense spending specifically could severely harm our business. We intend to continue to compete for
government contracts and expect such contracts will be a large percentage of our revenue for the foreseeable future. The development contracts in place with various agencies within the U.S. Department of Defense require ongoing compliance with
applicable federal procurement regulations. Violations of these regulations can result in civil, criminal or administrative proceedings involving fines, compensatory and punitive damages, restitution and forfeitures, as well as suspensions or
prohibitions from entering into such development contracts. Also, the reporting and appropriateness of costs and expenses under these development contracts are subject to extensive regulation and audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), an
agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. In addition, we obtain provisional billing rates from the DCAA to bill under government contracts. Any differences between provisional billing rates and actual billed rates may result in an adjustment to
revenue. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we reduced revenue by $1.3 million as a result of such an adjustment applied to government contract revenue for all of fiscal 2009. Any failure to comply with applicable government regulations could
jeopardize our development contracts and otherwise harm our business.

Our quarter-to-quarter performance may vary substantially, and
this variance, as well as general market conditions, may cause our stock price to fluctuate greatly and potentially expose us to litigation.

The revenues for our product lines and our quarterly operating results may vary significantly based on many factors, including:



| |  |  | reductions or delays in funding of development programs involving new polymer materials technologies by the U.S. government;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | additions of new customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuating demand for our products and technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements or implementation by competitors of technological innovations or new products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the status of particular development programs and the timing of performance under specific development agreements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | timing and amounts relating to the expansion of operations;

| |  |  | fluctuations in the timing and amount of customer requests for product shipments;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the reduction, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by customers, including as a result of slowing demand for our products or our customers
products;

| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitive pressures on selling prices;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of our customers to obtain components from their other suppliers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in manufacturing output, yields or other problems or delays in the fabrication, assembly, testing or delivery of our products or our
customers products; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the costs of products or discontinuance of products by suppliers.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We base our current and future expense estimates, in large part, on estimates of future revenue, which are difficult to predict. We expect
to continue to make significant operating and capital expenditures in the area of research and development and to invest in and expand production, sales, marketing and administrative systems and processes. We may be unable to, or may elect not to,
adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall. If our increased expenses are not accompanied by increased revenue in the same quarter, our quarterly operating results would be harmed.

In future quarters, our results of operations may fall below the expectations of investors and the trading price of our common stock may
decline as a consequence. We believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results will not be a good indication of future performance and should not be relied upon to predict the future performance of our stock price. In the past,
companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have often been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in
substantial costs and divert our attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

Dependence on
third-party manufacturing and supply relationships increases the risk that we will not have an adequate supply of products to meet demand or that the cost of materials will be higher than expected.

We depend upon third parties to manufacture, assemble and package our products. As a result, we will be subject to risks associated with
these third parties, including:



| |  |  | reduced control over delivery schedules and quality;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | inadequate manufacturing yields and excessive costs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties selecting and integrating new subcontractors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limited warranties on products supplied to our company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential lack of control over the timely resolution of product quality issues which may impact our ability to ship product;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential increases in prices;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | potential instability in countries where third-party manufacturers are located; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential misappropriation of our intellectual property.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

Outside foundries generally manufacture products on a purchase order basis, and we have very
few long-term supply arrangements with these suppliers. We have less control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs than competitors with their own fabrication facilities. A manufacturing disruption experienced by one or more of the
outside foundries or a disruption of our relationship with an outside foundry, including discontinuance of our products by that foundry, would negatively impact the production of certain of our products for a substantial period of time.

Our future success depends in part on the continued service of our key senior management, design engineering, sales, marketing, and technical
personnel and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional, qualified personnel.

Our future success depends to
a significant extent upon the continued service of our senior management personnel, including our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Avi Katz and our Chief Technical Officer, Andrea Betti-Berutto. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any
of our executive officers and do not intend to purchase any in the future. The loss of key senior executives could have a material adverse effect on our business. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in the semiconductor and polymer
industries, and we may not be able to continue to attract and retain engineers or other qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business, or to replace engineers or other qualified personnel who may leave our employment in the
future. There may be significant costs associated with recruiting, hiring and retaining personnel. Periods of contraction in our business may inhibit our ability to attract and retain our personnel. Loss of the services of, or failure to recruit,
key design engineers or other technical and management personnel could be significantly detrimental to our product development or other aspects of our business.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may prevent takeover attempts that could be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage a takeover of our company even if a change of control would be
beneficial to the interests of our stockholders. These charter provisions include the following:



| |  |  | a requirement that our board of directors be divided into three classes, with approximately one-third of the directors to be elected each year; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | supermajority voting requirements (two-thirds of outstanding shares) applicable to the approval of any merger or other change of control transaction
that is not approved by our continuing directors. The continuing directors are all of the directors as of the effective time of a merger or who are elected to the board upon the recommendation of a majority of the continuing directors.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be subject to the risks frequently experienced by early stage companies.

The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the risks frequently encountered by early stage companies, especially those
formed to develop and market new technologies. These risks include our potential inability to:



| |  |  | establish product sales and marketing capabilities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish and maintain markets for our potential products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to develop and upgrade our technologies to keep pace with changes in technology and the growth of markets using semiconductors and polymer
materials;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | develop expanded product production facilities and outside contractor relationships;

Our future growth will suffer if we do not achieve sufficient market acceptance of our products.

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to maintain and gain market acceptance of our products. To be accepted, these products must
meet the quality, technical performance and price requirements of our customers and potential customers. The optical communications industry is currently fragmented with many competitors developing different technologies. Some of these technologies
may not gain market acceptance. Our products, including products based on polymer materials, may not be accepted by OEMs and systems integrators of optical communications networks and consumer electronics. In addition, even if we achieve some degree
of market acceptance for our potential products in one industry, we may not achieve market acceptance in other industries for which we are developing products, and which are critical to meeting our financial targets.

Many of our current products, particularly those based on polymer technology, are either in the development stage or are being tested by
potential customers. We cannot be assured that our development efforts or customer tests will be successful or that they will result in actual material sales or that such products will be commercially viable.

Achieving market acceptance for our products will require marketing efforts and the expenditure of financial and other resources to create
product awareness and demand by customers. It will also require the ability to provide excellent customer service. We may be unable to offer products that compete effectively due to our limited resources and operating history. Also, certain large
corporations may be predisposed against doing business with a company of our limited size and operating history. Failure to achieve broad acceptance of our products by customers and to compete effectively would harm our operating results.

Successful commercialization of current and future products will require us to maintain a high level of technical expertise.

Technology in our target markets is undergoing rapid change. To succeed in these target markets, we will have to establish and
maintain a leadership position in the technology supporting those markets. Accordingly, our success will depend on our ability to:



| |  |  | accurately predict the needs of target customers and develop, in a timely manner, the technology required to support those needs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide products that are not only technologically sophisticated but are also available at a price acceptable to customers and competitive with
comparable products;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish and effectively defend our intellectual property; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | enter into relationships with other companies that have developed complementary technology into which our products may be integrated.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve any of these objectives.

Many of our products will have long sales cycles, which may cause us to expend resources without an
acceptable financial return and which makes it difficult to plan our expenses and forecast our revenues.

Many of our
products will have long sales cycles that involve numerous steps, including initial customer contacts, specification writing, engineering design, prototype fabrication, pilot testing, regulatory approvals (if needed), sales and marketing and
commercial manufacture. During this time, we may expend substantial financial resources and management time and effort without any assurance that product sales will result. The anticipated long sales cycle for some of our products makes it difficult
to predict the quarter in which sales may occur. Delays in sales may cause us to expend resources without an acceptable financial return and make it difficult to plan expenses and forecast revenues.

A large proportion of our products are directed at the telecommunications and networking markets, which continue to be subject to overcapacity.

The technology equipment industry is cyclical and has experienced significant and extended downturns in the past,
often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles, and capital spending cycles and declines in general economic conditions. The cyclical nature of these markets has led to significant imbalances in demand, inventory levels and
production capacity. It has also accelerated the decrease of average selling prices per unit. We may experience periodic fluctuations in our financial results because of these or other industry-wide conditions. Developments that adversely affect the
telecommunications or networking markets, including delays in traffic growth and changes in U.S. government regulation, could halt our efforts to generate revenue or cause revenue growth to be slower than anticipated from sales of electro-optic
modulators, semiconductors and related products. Reduced spending and technology investment by telecommunications companies may make it more difficult for our products to gain market acceptance. Our potential customers may be less willing to
purchase new technology such as our technology or invest in new technology development when they have reduced capital expenditure budgets.

The failure to compete successfully could harm our business.

We face competitive pressures from a
variety of companies in our target markets. The telecom, datacom and consumer opto-electronics markets are highly competitive and we expect that domestic and international competition will increase in these markets, due in part to deregulation,
rapid technological advances, price erosion, changing customer preferences and evolving industry standards. Increased competition could result in significant price competition, reduced revenues or lower profit margins. Many of our competitors and
potential competitors have or may have substantially greater research and product development capabilities, financial, scientific, marketing, and manufacturing and human resources, name recognition and experience than we do. As a result, these
competitors may:



| |  |  | succeed in developing products that are equal to or superior to our products or that will achieve greater market acceptance than our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | devote greater resources to developing, marketing or selling their products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or scientific advances and changes in customer requirements, which could render our technologies
or potential products obsolete;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | introduce products that make the continued development of our potential products uneconomical;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain patents that block or otherwise inhibit our ability to develop and commercialize potential products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | withstand price competition more successfully than us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that enhance their ability to address the needs of prospective customers
better than us; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities more readily than us.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Competitors may offer enhancements to existing products, or offer new products based on new
technologies, industry standards or customer requirements that are available to customers on a more timely basis than comparable products from our company or that have the potential to replace or provide lower cost alternatives to our products. The
introduction of enhancements or new products by competitors could render our existing and future products obsolete or unmarketable. Each of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our companys business, financial condition and
results of operations.

We may be unable to obtain effective intellectual property protection for our potential products and technology.

Any intellectual property that we have or may acquire, license or develop in the future may not provide meaningful
competitive advantages. Our patents and patent applications, including those we license, may be challenged by competitors, and the rights granted under such patents or patent applications may not provide meaningful proprietary protection. For
example, there are patents held by third parties that relate to polymer materials and electro-optic devices. These patents could be used as a basis to challenge the validity or limit the scope of our patents or patent applications. A successful
challenge to the validity or limitation of the scope of our patents or patent applications could limit our ability to commercialize the technology and, consequently, reduce revenues.

Moreover, competitors may infringe our patents or those that we license, or successfully avoid these patents through design innovation. To
combat infringement or unauthorized use, we may need to resort to litigation, which can be expensive and time-consuming and may not succeed in protecting our proprietary rights. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that our
patents or other intellectual property rights are not valid or are unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the intellectual property at issue on the ground that it is non-infringing. Policing unauthorized use of our
intellectual property is difficult and expensive, and we may not be able to, or have the resources to, prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect these rights as fully as the laws of
the United States.

We also rely on the law of trade secrets to protect unpatented technology and know-how. We try to protect
this technology and know-how by limiting access to those employees, contractors and strategic partners with a need to know this information and by entering into confidentiality agreements with these parties. Any of these parties could breach the
agreements and disclose our trade secrets or confidential information to competitors, or such competitors might learn of the information in other ways. Disclosure of any trade secret not protected by a patent could materially harm our business.

We may be subject to patent infringement claims, which could result in substantial costs and liability and prevent us from
commercializing potential products.

Third parties may claim that our potential products or related technologies
infringe their patents. Any patent infringement claims brought against us may cause us to incur significant expenses, divert the attention of management and key personnel from other business concerns and, if successfully asserted, require us to pay
substantial damages. In addition, as a result of a patent infringement suit, we may be forced to stop or delay developing, manufacturing or selling potential products that are claimed to infringe a patent covering a third partys intellectual
property unless that party grants us rights to use its intellectual property. We may be unable to obtain these rights on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if we are able to obtain rights to a third partys patented intellectual property, these
rights may be non-exclusive, and therefore competitors may obtain access to the same intellectual property. Ultimately, we may be unable to commercialize our potential products or may have to cease some business operations as a result of patent
infringement claims, which could severely harm our business.

If our potential products infringe the intellectual property
rights of others, we may be required to indemnify customers for any damages they suffer. Third parties may assert infringement claims against our current or

potential customers. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation on behalf of customers, regardless of the merits of these claims. If any of these claims
succeed, we may be forced to pay damages on behalf of these customers or may be required to obtain licenses for the products they use. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, we may be unable to continue selling
such products.

The technology that we license from various third parties may be subject to government rights and retained rights of the
originating research institution.

We license technology from various companies or research institutions, such as the
University of Washington. Many of these partners and licensors have obligations to government agencies or universities. Under their agreements, a government agency or university may obtain certain rights over the technology that we have developed
and licensed, including the right to require that a compulsory license be granted to one or more third parties selected by the government agency.

In addition, our partners often retain certain rights under their licensing agreements, including the right to use the technology for noncommercial academic and research use, to publish general scientific
findings from research related to the technology, and to make customary scientific and scholarly disclosures of information relating to the technology. It is difficult to monitor whether such partners limit their use of the technology to these uses,
and we could incur substantial expenses to enforce our rights to this licensed technology in the event of misuse.

If we fail to develop
and maintain the quality of our manufacturing processes, our operating results would be harmed.

The manufacture of our
products is a multi-stage process that requires the use of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing technologies. With respect to our polymer-based products, polymer-related device development and manufacturing must occur in a highly
controlled, clean environment to minimize particles and other yield- and quality-limiting contaminants. In spite of stringent quality controls, weaknesses in process control or minute impurities in materials may cause a substantial percentage of a
product in a lot to be defective. If we are unable to develop and continue to improve on our manufacturing processes or to maintain stringent quality controls, or if contamination problems arise, our operating results would be harmed.

The complexity of our products may lead to errors, defects and bugs, which could result in the necessity to redesign products and could negatively
impact our reputation with customers.

Products as complex as ours may contain errors, defects and bugs when first
introduced or as new versions are released. Delivery of products with production defects or reliability, quality or compatibility problems could significantly delay or hinder market acceptance of the products or result in a costly recall and could
damage our reputation and adversely affect our ability to retain existing customers and to attract new customers. In particular, certain products are customized or designed for integration into specific network systems. If our products experience
defects, we may need to undertake a redesign of the product, a process which may result in significant additional expenses.

We may also be required to make significant expenditures of capital and resources to resolve such problems. There is no assurance that problems will not be found in new products after commencement of commercial production, despite testing
by us, our suppliers and our customers.

We could be exposed to significant product liability claims that could be time-consuming and costly
and impair our ability to obtain and maintain insurance coverage.

We may be subject to product liability claims if any
of our products are alleged to be defective or harmful. Product liability claims or other claims related to our potential products, regardless of their outcome, could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation, divert
managements time and attention from other business concerns, require us to pay significant damages, harm our reputation or hinder acceptance of our products. Any successful product liability claim may prevent us from obtaining adequate product
liability insurance in the future on commercially reasonable terms. Any inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against potential product liability claims could impair our ability to
commercialize our products. In addition, certain of our products are sold under warranties. The failure of our products to meet the standards set forth in such warranties could result in significant expenses to us.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth, and effectively transition from our focus on research and development activities to commercially
successful products, our business could suffer.

Failure to manage growth of operations could harm our business. To
date, a large number of our activities and resources have been directed at the research and development of our technologies and development of potential related products. The transition from a focus on research and development to being a vendor of
products requires effective planning and management. Additionally, growth arising from the expected synergies from the acquisition of ChipX will require effective planning and management. Future expansion will be expensive and will likely strain
management and other resources.

In order to effectively manage growth, we must:



| |  |  | continue to develop an effective planning and management process to implement our business strategy;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | hire, train and integrate new personnel in all areas of our business; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expand our facilities and increase capital investments.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

There is no assurance that we will be able to accomplish these tasks effectively or otherwise effectively manage our growth.

We are subject to regulatory compliance related to our operations.

We are subject to various U.S. governmental regulations related to occupational safety and health, labor and business practices. Failure to
comply with current or future regulations could result in the imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alterations of our production processes, cessation of operations, or other actions, which could harm our business.

We may be unable to export some of our potential products or technology to other countries, convey information about our technology to citizens of
other countries or sell certain products commercially, if the products or technology are subject to United States export or other regulations.

We are developing certain products that we believe the U.S. government and other governments may be interested in using for military and information gathering or antiterrorism activities. U.S. government
export regulations may restrict us from selling or exporting these potential products into other countries, exporting our technology to those countries, conveying information about our technology to citizens of other countries or selling these
potential products to commercial customers. We may be unable to obtain export licenses for products or technology if necessary. We currently cannot assess whether national security concerns would affect our potential products and, if so, what
procedures and policies we would have to adopt to comply with applicable existing or future regulations.

We may incur liability arising from our use of hazardous materials.

Our business and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the generation, handling,
treatment, storage and disposal of certain toxic or hazardous materials and waste products that are used or generated in our operations. Many of these environmental laws and regulations subject current or previous owners or occupiers of land to
liability for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous materials. In addition, these laws and regulations typically impose liability regardless of whether the owner or occupier knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of
any hazardous materials and regardless of whether the actions that led to their presence were taken in compliance with the law. Our domestic facilities use various chemicals in manufacturing processes which may be toxic and covered by various
environmental controls. These hazardous materials may be stored on site. The waste created by use of these materials is transported off-site by an unaffiliated waste hauler. Many environmental laws and regulations require generators of waste to take
remedial actions at an off-site disposal location even if the disposal was conducted lawfully. The requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and could become more stringent in the future. Failure to comply with
current or future environmental laws and regulations could result in the imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alteration of production processes, cessation of operations or other actions, which could severely harm our business.

Our business, financial condition and operating results would be harmed if we do not achieve anticipated revenue.

From time to time, in response to anticipated long lead times to obtain inventory and materials from outside contract manufacturers,
suppliers and foundries, we may need to order materials in advance of anticipated customer demand. This advance ordering may result in excess inventory levels or unanticipated inventory write-downs if expected orders fail to materialize, or other
factors render our products less marketable. If we are forced to hold excess inventory or incur unanticipated inventory write-downs, our financial condition and operating results could be materially harmed.

Our expense levels are relatively fixed and are based on our expectations of future revenue. We will have limited ability to reduce expenses
quickly in response to any revenue shortfalls. Changes to production volumes and impact of overhead absorption may result in a decline in our financial condition or liquidity.

We could suffer unrecoverable losses on our customers accounts receivable which would adversely affect our financial results.

Our operating cash flows are dependent on the continued collection of receivables. We could suffer losses if a customer is unable to pay. A
significant loss on an accounts receivable would have an adverse impact on our business and financial results.

The industry and markets
in which we compete are subject to consolidation, which may result in stronger competitors, fewer customers and reduced demand.

There has been industry consolidation among communications IC companies, network equipment companies and telecommunications companies in the past. This consolidation is expected to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or hold their
positions in evolving markets. Consolidation may result in stronger competitors, fewer customers and reduced demand, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our operating results are subject to fluctuations because we have international sales.

International sales account for a large portion of our revenue and may account for an increasing portion of future
revenue. The revenue derived from international sales may be subject to certain risks, including:



| |  |  | foreign currency exchange fluctuations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | tariffs and other barriers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | timing and availability of export licenses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in accounts receivable collections;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in managing distributors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in obtaining governmental approvals for communications and other products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduced or uncertain protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer payment cycles to collect accounts receivable in some countries;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the burden of complying with a wide variety of complex foreign laws and treaties; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potentially adverse tax consequences.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

We are subject to risks associated with the imposition of legislation and regulations relating to the import or export of high technology products. We cannot predict whether quotas, duties, taxes or
other charges or restrictions upon the importation or exportation of our products will be implemented by the United States or other countries.

Various laws and regulations potentially affect the import and export of our products, including export control, tax and customs laws. Furthermore, some customer purchase orders and agreements are
governed by foreign laws, which may differ significantly from laws in the United States. As a result, our ability to enforce our rights under such agreements may be limited compared with our ability to enforce our rights under agreements governed by
laws in the United States.

Our business is subject to foreign currency risk.

Sales to customers located outside of the U.S. comprised 75% and 51% of our revenue for 2008 and 2009, respectively. In addition, we have a
subsidiary overseas (Switzerland) which records its operating expenses in a foreign currency. Because sales of our products have been denominated to date primarily in United States dollars, increases in the value of the United States dollar could
increase the price of our products so that they become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales and profitability in that country. Future international activity may result
in increased foreign currency denominated sales. Gains and losses on the conversion to U. S. dollars of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international operations may contribute to
fluctuations in our results of operations. We currently do not have hedging or other programs in place to protect against adverse changes in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to other currencies to minimize potential adverse effects.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or such risk factors.

Overview

GigOptix is a leading provider of electronic engines for the optically connected digital world and other advanced RF applications. GigOptix was formed in March 2008 in order to facilitate a combination between GigOptix LLC and Lumera.
Before the combination, which was effected by two mergers, which is referred to collectively as the merger, GigOptix was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumera, and was formed to complete the merger. GigOptix had no operations or material
assets before the merger. As a result of the transaction set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 27, 2008, among Lumera, GigOptix LLC, Galileo Merger Sub G, LLC and Galileo Merger Sub L, Inc., on December 9, 2008,
the merger was completed and Lumera and GigOptix LLC became wholly owned subsidiaries of GigOptix and GigOptix became the successor public registrant to Lumera.

Prior to the merger, GigOptix LLC was an Idaho limited liability company, headquartered in Palo Alto, California. GigOptix LLC was the successor company of iTerra Communications LLC, or iTerra, which was
founded in 2000. In July 2007, as part of a reorganization plan, iTerra formed GigOptix LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the assets and liabilities of iTerra, with the exception of the $45.8 million of debt and accrued interest due to
iTerras primary member, were transferred to GigOptix LLC along with all of iTerras operations and intellectual property.

In August 2007, GigOptix LLC implemented a restructuring plan to consolidate the research and development operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, iTerra Communications SRL, based in Rome, Italy to its corporate headquarters in Palo Alto,
California.

In January 2008, GigOptix LLC acquired Helix AG, or Helix, a company based in Switzerland, which designed and
sold optical receiver transmitter array products consisting of driver and receiver arrays for 4-channel and 12-channel modules running at 3Gbps to 10Gbps per channel. GigOptix LLC acquisition of Helix enabled GigOptix LLC to expand its product
offering into short reach devices and systems.

On November 9, 2009, we acquired ChipX, a leading independent fabless
supplier specializing in analog and mixed signal custom ASICs. ChipX became a subsidiary of GigOptix as a result of its acquisition.

We focus on the specification, design, development and sale of analog semiconductor integrated circuits, or ICs, multi-chip module solutions, or MCMs, polymer modulators, and analog and mixed signal custom Application Specific Integrated
Circuits (ASICs). We believe we are an industry leader in the fast growing market for electronic solutions that enable high-bandwidth optical connections found in telecommunications (telecom) systems, data communications (datacom) and storage
systems, and, increasingly, in consumer electronics and computing systems.

GigOptix products fall into the following
main categories:



| |  |  | Laser and modulator Driver ICs and MCMs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transimpedance and Limiting Amplifier ICs;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Broadband Radio Frequency Amplifiers; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Custom analog and mixed signal ASICs.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

These products are capable of performing in various applications, demanding a wide range of data processing speeds, from consumer electronics, which perform at data processing speeds of 3Gbps to 10Gbps,
to sophisticated ultra-long haul submarine telecommunications systems which require performance at data processing speeds from 10Gbps and 40Gbps to 100Gbps.

The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred net losses of $10.0 million and $7.7 million
respectively, and cash outflows from operations of $3.8 million and $6.7 million respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $69.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively. We do not expect to
generate sufficient cash needed to finance our anticipated operations for the foreseeable future from such operations. Accordingly, we will need to seek funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other
arrangements including collaborations. We could require additional financing sooner than expected if we have poor financial results, including unanticipated expenses, or an unanticipated drop in projected revenues. Such financing may be unavailable
when needed or may not be available on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and these securities may have rights
superior to those of our common stock. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, we may be required to limit our operations substantially. These
limitations of operations may include a possible sale or shutdown of portions of the business, reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs.

The Companys fiscal year ends on December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the periods prior to December 9, 2008, presented herein, are the historical financial statements of GigOptix LLC, as GigOptix LLC was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the merger with Lumera.
See Note 6, Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates
its estimates and judgments, including those related to product returns, customer incentives, bad debts, inventories, asset impairments, deferred tax assets, accrued warranty reserves, restructuring costs, contingencies and litigation. Management
bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be
made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could
materially change the financial statements. GigOptix also has other key accounting policies that are less subjective, and therefore, their application would not have a material impact on GigOptix reported results of operations. The following is a
discussion of GigOptix critical accounting policies, as well as the estimates and judgments involved.

Revenue
Recognition

Revenue from sales of optical modulator drivers and receivers, MCMS, and other products is recognized when
persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, transfer of title and acceptance, where applicable, occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue for product shipments
is recognized upon acceptance of the product by the customer or expiration of the contractual acceptance period, after which there are no rights of return. Provisions are made for warranties at the time revenue is recorded.

Customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Transfer of title and risk of ownership occur
based on defined terms in customer purchase orders, and generally pass to the customer upon shipment, at which point goods are delivered to a carrier. There are no formal customer acceptance terms or further obligations, outside of our standard
product warranty. GigOptix assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Collectability is assessed based primarily on the credit worthiness of the customer as determined
through ongoing credit evaluations of the customers financial condition, as well as consideration of the customers payment history.

Revenue generated from engineering product development projects and the research and development cost reimbursement contracts, cost plus fixed fee type contracts, for the United States government is
recorded in accordance with accounting guidance for contract accounting, using the percentage of completion method measured on a cost-incurred basis. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and revenues and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. In the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a
reserve of $1.3 million associated with a change in estimated rates under which we could bill for the work we performed under various government contracts during fiscal 2009. Profit incentives are included in revenue when realization is assured.
Losses, if any, are recognized in full as soon as identified. Losses occur when the estimated direct and indirect costs to complete the contract exceed the unrecognized revenue on the contract. The Company evaluates the reserve for contract losses
on a contract-by-contract basis. No losses have been incurred on any contracts to date.

Contract Estimates

GigOptix estimates contract costs based on the experience of its professional researchers, the experience it has obtained in
internal research efforts, and its performance on previous contracts. GigOptix believes this allows it to reasonably estimate the tasks required and the contract costs; however, there are uncertainties in estimating these costs, such as the ability
to identify precisely the underlying technical issues hindering development of the technology; the ability to predict all the technical factors that may affect successful completion of the proposed tasks; and the ability to retain researchers having
enough experience to complete the proposed tasks in a timely manner. Should actual costs differ materially from its estimates, GigOptix may have to adjust the timing and amount of revenue it recognizes. To date, GigOptix has mitigated the risk of
failing to perform under these contracts by negotiating best efforts provisions, which do not obligate it to complete contract deliverables.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost computed on an average-cost basis. Cost includes labor, material and
overhead costs, including product and process technology costs. Determining fair market value of inventories involves numerous judgments, including projecting average selling prices and sales volumes for future periods and costs to complete products
in work in process inventories. As a result of this analysis, when fair market values are below GigOptix costs, GigOptix records a charge to cost of revenue in advance of when the inventory is scrapped or sold.

We evaluate our ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence on a quarterly basis. This evaluation includes analysis of
historical and forecasted sales levels by product. Inventories on hand in excess of forecasted demand are provided for. In addition, we write off inventories that are considered obsolete. Obsolescence is determined from several factors, including
competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence. Increases to the provision for excess and obsolete inventory are charged to cost of revenue. At the point of the loss recognition, a new,
lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. If this lower-cost inventory is subsequently sold, the related
provision is matched to the movement of related product inventory, resulting in lower costs and higher gross margins for those products.

Our inventories include high-technology parts that may be subject to rapid technological obsolescence and which are sold in a highly competitive industry. If actual product demand or selling prices are
less favorable than we estimate, we may be required to take additional inventory write-downs.

Long-Lived Assets and
Intangible Assets

Long-lived assets include equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and intangible
assets. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, GigOptix tests for recoverability based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows as compared to the assets carrying
amount. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated future cash flows, the asset is considered to be impaired. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset. Factors
GigOptix considers important that could trigger an impairment review include continued operating losses, significant negative industry trends, significant underutilization of the assets and significant changes in the way GigOptix plans to use the
assets.

The estimation of future cash flows involves numerous assumptions, which require our judgment, including, but not
limited to, future use of the assets for our operations versus sale or disposal of the assets, future-selling prices for our products and future production and sales volumes. In addition, we must use our judgment in determining the groups of assets
for which impairment tests are separately performed.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a
business combination and is not subject to amortization. We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is tested
at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting units carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted
cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilize comparable companies data. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of
impairment loss, if any. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had two reporting units within its single operating segment. One reporting unit, which carries all of the Companys goodwill, was created as a result of the acquisition of ChipX,
Inc. on November 9, 2009. The other reporting unit consists of the Companys legacy business.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, GigOptix is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the
jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating GigOptix current tax exposure and assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenues, for tax and accounting purposes. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. GigOptix then assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent it establishes a valuation allowance or increases this
allowance in a period, GigOptix will include an additional tax provision in its consolidated statement of operations.

In June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued accounting guidance which provides for a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. GigOptix considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax
positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates
that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely
of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Whether the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met for a tax position is a matter of judgment based on the individual facts and circumstances of that position evaluated in light of all available
evidence. GigOptix adopted the provisions of this guidance effective December 9, 2008, the date of the merger with Lumera, resulting in no cumulative effect of adoption. There were no other significant adjustments during fiscal year 2008
related to GigOptix adoption of this guidance.

Stock-based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted accounting guidance that requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expenses for all unit-based awards to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase rights based on their estimated fair values. Under this guidance, the benefits of tax deductions in
excess of recognized compensation cost has to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. This may reduce future net cash flows from operations and increase future net financing cash flows.

GigOptix estimates the fair value of stock options granted using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of
highly subjective assumptions, along with certain policy elections, including the options expected life and the price volatility of our underlying stock options. Actual volatility, expected lives, interest rates and forfeitures may be
different than our assumptions, which would result in an actual value of the options being different than estimated. This fair value of stock option grants is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which
is generally the vesting period.

Expected TermGigOptix expected term used in the Black-Scholes valuation
method represents the period that our stock options are expected to be outstanding and is derived from the historical expected terms of guideline companies selected based on similar industry and product focus.

Expected VolatilityGigOptix expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is derived from a combination
of historical and implied volatility of guideline companies selected based on similar industry and product focus.

Expected DividendGigOptix has never paid dividends and currently does not intend to do so, and accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.

Risk-Free Interest RateThe Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied
yield currently available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities issued with a term equivalent to the expected term of the option.

As required by the accounting guidance, GigOptix makes an estimate of expected forfeitures
and is recognizing compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, GigOptix considers voluntary termination behavior as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued theFASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification), the authoritative guidance for GAAP. The Codification, which changes the
referencing of financial standards, became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The Codification is now the single official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP (other than guidance issued by the
SEC), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and related literature. Only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP now exists. All other literature is considered
non-authoritative. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted the Codification during the quarter ended October 4, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any substantive impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair
value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased, and in identifying transactions that are not orderly. Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or
liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. The
guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance in the quarter ended July 5, 2009, and there was no material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition and presentation of
other-than-temporary impairments on investments in debt securities. If an entitys management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before
recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings) and 2) all other amounts (recorded in other comprehensive income). This
guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance for the quarter ended July 5, 2009, and there was no material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an accounting standard under which an entity is required
to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that (1) acquisition- related costs be recognized separately from the
acquisition and expensed as incurred, (2) restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and (3) changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax
uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, is capitalized as an indefinite intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life once
development is complete. The adoption of this standard changed GigOptix accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. See Note 6, Business Combinations, in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $14.8 million, an increase of $5.2 million
or 54% compared with $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenue was a result of the benefit we received from key transactions, including the merger with Lumera in December 2008, which contributed government
contract revenue in 2009 of $4.8 million and the acquisition of ChipX in November 2009, which contributed product revenue of $2.1 million for the period from the date of its acquisition on November 9, 2009 through the end of our fiscal year.
These increases were offset by a change in the estimated billing rates used under government contracts, resulting in a reduction in revenue of $1.3 million.

Gross Profit

Gross profit consists of revenue, less cost of
revenue, which includes amortization of certain identified intangible assets. Cost of revenue consists primarily of the manufacture of saleable chips, including outsourced wafer fabrication and testing. Amortization expense of identified intangible
assets, namely existing technology, is presented within of cost of revenue, as the intangible assets were determined to be directly attributable to revenue generating activities.

Cost of revenue and gross profit for the periods presented was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research
and development costs consist primarily of consulting and engineering design, non-capitalized tools and equipment, equipment depreciation and employee compensation.

Research and development expense for the periods presented was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $6.3 million
compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1.9 million or 43%. The increase in research and development expense primarily resulted from costs associated with the results for Lumera for all of 2009 and
spending associated with the acquisition of ChipX.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $9.9
million compared to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1.8 million or 22%. This increase is primarily due to professional fees, including legal, accounting and auditing services, of $1.2 million associated with
the acquisition of ChipX and $0.8 million for severance related costs also associated with the ChipX transaction.

In December 2009, we adopted a plan to reduce the size of our facilities in Bothell,
Washington, from approximately 32,000 square feet to approximately 12,000 square feet and took a restructuring charge of $0.5 million to reflect the proportionate share of remaining lease expense we will incur for the unoccupied space of the
facility and costs associated with improvements needed to segregate the facility. The existing lease on the facility expires in March 2011. Although we have made available for sub-lease approximately 20,000 square feet, we do not anticipate that we
will receive any sub-lease income associated with this space prior to the lease expiration. Approximately $0.4 million will be paid out in 2010 with the balance to be paid in 2011.

In October 2009, in anticipation of its acquisition by the Company, ChipX incurred severance costs of $0.4 million in connection with a
reduction in its work force. We recognized this expense in our consolidated statement of operations after the acquisition date as a restructuring expense. All amounts were paid prior to December 31, 2009.

In connection with the
acquisition of Helix in January 2008, we allocated approximately $319,000 of the purchase price to acquired in-process research and development expense, or IPR&D. The amount allocated to IPR&D was immediately expensed in the period the
acquisition was completed, as the associated project had not yet reached technological feasibility and no future alternative uses existed for the technology. Acquired IPR&D relates to projects under development associated with Helix 10Gbps
VCSEL driver chip and 4-channel transimpedance amplifiers. The preliminary value assigned to acquired IPR&D was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop
the purchased technology into commercially viable products, estimating resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting net cash flows to present value. The fair value of acquired IPR&D was determined using the income
approach, which discounts expected cash flows to present value. At the date of acquisition, the projects under development were determined to be 30% complete, with net cash flows from the projects expected to commence in 2009. These projects were
completed in 2009.

In connection with the merger with Lumera in December 2008, we allocated approximately $397,000 of the
purchase price to acquired IPR&D. Lumera was designing electro-optic components, specifically optical modulators, which will be used in high-speed optical networking and optical transmission applications. Lumera is working with certain
telecommunication and networking companies as well as the US Department of Defense and government contractors to develop commercially viable electro-optic devices. While Lumera has made substantial progress in developing the products and shipped
samples to various customers, there are still significant technical, production, and commercialization challenges which Lumera must overcome to bring the products to market. For the technology under development, we analyzed the stage of completion
based on discussions with Lumeras management about the accumulated costs incurred through the valuation date, costs required to complete the projects, time required to compete the projects, and an estimate of technical milestones remaining.
The discounted cash flow model was used to value the IPR&D at fair value of $2.2 million which was decreased by an allocation of negative goodwill in the amount of $1.8 million resulting in $397,000 as the recorded fair value. See Note 6,
Business Combinations, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Since the development projects as of the date of the acquisition had yet to be proven technically and commercially viable, we had no alternative
future use for the IPR&D. As such, the IPR&D was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2008.

Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $326,000 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2008, of which $280,000 of the decrease is associated with the impact attributable to the convertible promissory notes to Stellar Technologies LLC, which were converted in August 2008. Other income (expense), net changed
by $451,000, primarily due to the sale of the assets of our Plexera Bioscience LLC subsidiary, including all patents and trademarks related to the Plexera business, on February 17, 2009. The assets were sold as is to Plexera, LLC, a
newly formed company, for $300,000 and we recorded a gain of $300,000 which is included in Other income (expense), net. The Company does not expect to receive any further consideration from the sale of the Plexera assets.

Benefit from Income Taxes

The benefit from income taxes was approximately $69,000 in the year ended December 31, 2009, and approximately $144,000 in the year ended December 31, 2008. The effective tax rate was 0.68% and 1.84% for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The benefit from income taxes during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 relates to the amortization of a deferred tax liability, established upon the acquisition of the Companys Swiss subsidiary in 2008,
partially offset in 2009 by current taxes payable related to a foreign subsidiary.

In November 2009, we
entered into a loan and security agreement with Bridge Bank under which we may borrow up to $4,000,000, based on net eligible accounts receivable. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the banks prime rate plus 2.50% (6.50% as
of December 31, 2009), provided that in no event shall the prime rate be less than 4.00%. Borrowings under the line are collateralized by a security interest in all of our assets. The line of credit also requires us to be in compliance with
certain financial covenants of which we were in default as of December 31, 2009. Specifically, we were in default on a maximum GAAP loss covenant under which we could not incur a loss greater than $4.6 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2009 and were also in default with the covenant to provide monthly financial statements. This failure to comply with the covenants contained in the credit facility is considered an event of default under the credit agreement,
which, if not cured or waived, could result in Bridge Bank declaring all obligations immediately due and payable, which would have a material adverse affect on the business, financial condition and results of operations. At December 31, 2009,
the amount outstanding under the line of credit was approximately $1.5 million, which is classified within current liabilities.

##### Table of Contents

During 2008, we maintained a short-term line of credit under which we may borrow up to
$800,000, based on net eligible accounts receivable. Borrowings under the line of credit carried interest at the banks prime rate plus 1.25% (5.25% as of December 31, 2008). The line of credit was terminated in April 2009.

If we experience sufficient declines in sales for which we cannot compensate, we may have difficulty complying with the financial covenants
under this credit facility. A failure to comply with the covenants contained in our credit facility could result in an event of default under the facilities or the existing agreements which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse
affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has incurred negative cash flows from
operations since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred net losses of $10.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, and cash outflows from operations of $3.8 million and $6.7 million respectively. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $69.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively. We do not expect to generate sufficient cash needed to finance our anticipated operations for the foreseeable future from such
operations. Accordingly, we will need to seek funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements including collaborations. We could require additional financing sooner than expected if we have
poor financial results, including unanticipated expenses, or an unanticipated drop in projected revenues. Such financing may be unavailable when needed or may not be available on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or
convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and these securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or
long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, we may be required to limit our operations substantially. These limitations of operations may include a possible sale or shutdown of portions of the business, reductions in
capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs.

Operating Activities.

Operating activities used cash in fiscal year 2009 of $4.1 million, a result of a net loss of $10.0 million, decreases in inventories and
prepaids and other current assets totaling $673,000, partially offset by non cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and intangible asset impairment of $1.1 million, $876,000 and $436,000, respectively, an increase
of $1.4 million in accrued and other current liabilities, and an increase in accounts payable of $818,000.

Operating
activities used cash in fiscal year 2008 of $6.7 million, a result of a net loss of $7.7 million, increases in accounts receivable of $917,000, inventories of $269,000, decreases in prepaid and other current and long term assets of
$1.9 million, increases in accounts payable of $446,000 and accrued and other current liabilities of $1.1 million, partially offset by non cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, amortization of
acquisition-related payment and acquired IPR&D of $904,000, $321,000, $700,000 and $716,000, respectively.

Investing
Activities.

Net cash provided by investing activities for fiscal year 2009 was $1.3 million and primarily consisted of net
cash acquired in the acquisition of ChipX of $1.7 million, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of $834,000.

Net cash provided in investing activities for fiscal year 2008 was $1.7 million and consisted of net cash acquired in the merger with Lumera in December 2008 of $3.8 million, partially offset by net cash used in the acquisition of Helix in
January 2008 of $1.7 million and purchases of property and equipment of $439,000, primarily related to purchases of computer and network equipment.

Financing Activities.

Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal year 2009 was $482,000 and consisted of $973,000 in proceeds from the issuance of common
stock and warrants, net proceeds from the line of credit of $2.1 million, offset by repayments under the line of credit and capital lease obligations of $3.5 million and $100,000, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2008 was $11.3 million and consisted of $2.7 million in proceeds from issuance
of common stock to Stellar Technologies LLC, Avisan and Arjisan for $1.2 million, $500,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, $8.6 million proceeds from convertible notes issued to Stellar Technologies LLC and net proceeds from the line of credit with
Silicon Valley Bank of $717,000, offset by repayment of notes payable of $700,000.

Historically, GigOptix LLC funded its
operations from the proceeds of promissory notes issued to Stellar Technologies LLC. On August 20, 2008, $10.3 million of convertible promissory notes that were issued to Stellar Technologies LLC in July 2007 and January 2008 were converted
into 733,333 membership units of GigOptix LLC. Additionally, Stellar Technologies LLC agreed to provide additional funding totaling $1.2 million to GigOptix LLC, in consideration for 239,280 membership units. In August 2008, GigOptix LLC received
proceeds of $500,000 in connection with the issuance of 85,150 membership units to an unrelated third party and in December 2008, GigOptix LLC received proceeds of $1.0 million in connection with the issuance of 361,866 membership units and 217,120
warrants to an unrelated third party. On December 10, 2008, as a result of the merger with Lumera, all membership units and warrants of GigOptix LLC converted into GigOptix common shares at a conversion rate of 0.1375 membership units per
share.

We have incurred significant losses since inception, attributable to our efforts to design and commercialize our
products. We have managed our liquidity during this time through a series of cost reduction initiatives and through increasing our line of credit with our bank. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many events outside of our
direct control, including, among other things; obtaining additional financing either privately or through public markets and consumers purchasing our products in substantially higher volumes. Our significant recent operating losses and
negative cash flows, among other factors, raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

GigOptix does not use off-balance-sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or related parties, nor
does GigOptix use other forms of off-balance-sheet arrangements such as special purpose entities and research and development arrangements. Accordingly, GigOptix is not exposed to any financing or other risks that could arise if we had such
relationships.

Related Party Transactions

Historically, the Companys predecessors, GigOptix LLC and iTerra Communications LLC, funded their operations from the proceeds of promissory notes issued to Stellar Technologies LLC
(Stellar), iTerras primary member. Beginning in 2002, various promissory notes were issued by iTerra Communications LLC, the predecessor company of GigOptix LLC, to Stellar. Borrowings under the notes bore interest at a fixed rate
of 11% per annum and were collateralized by all of iTerras assets. The outstanding principal balance of such notes, including accrued interest, were classified as additional paid-in capital as part of a reorganization plan for iTerra in
June 2007. In July 2007 and January 2008, GigOptix LLC issued convertible promissory notes to Stellar, which bore interest at a rate of 6% per annum. In August 2008, such convertible notes were converted into membership units of GigOptix LLC.
Additionally, in August 2008, Stellar agreed to provide additional funding totaling $1.2 million to GigOptix LLC in consideration for the issuance of membership units, none of which is available at December 31, 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, we had sales to National Instruments of $231,000. National Instruments currently holds 1,066,265 shares
of GigOptix common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of GigOptix, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity
(deficit), and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GigOptix, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

GigOptix, Inc., (GigOptix or the Company) is a leading provider of electronic engines for the optically connected
digital world and other advanced RF applications. GigOptix was incorporated in March 2008 under the laws of the state of Delaware and upon completion of the merger of GigOptix LLC and Lumera Corporation (Lumera) on December 9, 2008,
became a public reporting company on December 10, 2008. GigOptix is a successor registrant to Lumera.

GigOptix business
operations focus on the specification, design, development and sale of analog semiconductor integrated circuits, or ICs, multi-chip module solutions, or MCMs, and polymer modulators. GigOptix believes it is an industry leader in the fast growing
market for electronic solutions that enable high-bandwidth optical connections found in telecommunications (telecom) systems, data communications (datacom) and storage systems, and, increasingly, in consumer electronics and computing systems.

GigOptix was formed in March 2008 in order to facilitate a combination between GigOptix LLC and Lumera. Before the
combination, which was effected by two mergers, which is referred to collectively as the merger, GigOptix was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lumera, and was formed to complete the merger. GigOptix had no operations or material assets
before the merger. As a result of the transaction set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 27, 2008, among Lumera, GigOptix LLC, Galileo Merger Sub G, LLC and Galileo Merger Sub L, Inc., (the Lumera Merger
Agreement) on December 9, 2008, the merger was completed and Lumera and GigOptix LLC became wholly owned subsidiaries of the GigOptix and GigOptix became the successor public registrant to Lumera.

At the time of the merger, Lumera was a developer of high performance proprietary electro-optic polymer materials and products based on
these materials for various electro-optic applications and GigOptix LLC was a fabless semiconductor company specializing in the specification, design, development and sale of integrated circuits and electronic multi-chip module solutions.

Prior to the merger, GigOptix LLC was an Idaho limited liability company, headquartered in Palo Alto, California. GigOptix
LLC was the successor company of iTerra Communications LLC, or iTerra, which was founded in 2000. In July 2007, as part of a reorganization plan, iTerra formed GigOptix LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary. All of the assets and liabilities of iTerra,
with the exception of the $45.8 million of debt and accrued interest due to iTerras primary member, were transferred to GigOptix LLC, along with all of iTerras operations and intellectual property.

In January 2008, GigOptix LLC acquired Helix AG, or Helix, a company based in Switzerland, which designed and sold optical receiver
transmitter array products consisting of driver and receiver arrays for 4-channel and 12-channel modules running at 3Gbps to 10Gbps per channel. The acquisition of Helix enabled GigOptix LLC to expand its product offering into short reach
devices and systems.

In November 2009 GigOptix acquired ChipX, Incorporated (ChipX), a leading independent
fabless supplier specializing in analog and mixed signal custom ASICs. ChipX became a subsidiary of GigOptix as a result of the acquisition.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



normal course of business. The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred net losses of $10.0
million and $7.7 million, respectively, and cash outflows from operations of $4.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $69.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively.

The Company does not expect to generate sufficient cash needed to finance its anticipated operations for the foreseeable
future from such operations. Accordingly, the Company will need to seek funding through public or private financings, including equity financings, and through other arrangements including collaborations. The Company could require additional
financing sooner than expected if it has poor financial results, including unanticipated expenses, or an unanticipated drop in projected revenue. Such financing may be unavailable when needed or may not be available on acceptable terms. If the
Company raises additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of its current stockholders will be reduced, and these securities may have rights superior to those of its common stock. If adequate funds are
not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, the Company may be required to limit its operations substantially. These limitations of operations may include a possible sale or
shutdown of portions of the business, reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs.

The
Companys credit agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. (Bridge Bank) contains a number of restrictive covenants (see Note 8, Line of Credit for further discussion). One of these covenants is that in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company
must not incur a GAAP net loss greater than $4.6 million. For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred a GAAP net loss in excess of $4.6 million which violated the maximum GAAP net loss covenant in the agreement. This failure to
comply with the covenants contained in the credit facility is considered an event of default under the credit agreement, which, if not cured or waived, could result in Bridge Bank declaring all obligations immediately due and payable, which would
have a material adverse affect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

The Companys
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many events outside of its direct control, including, among other things; obtaining additional financing either privately or through public markets and consumers purchasing its products in
substantially higher volumes. The Companys significant recent operating losses and negative cash flows, among other factors, raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the periods prior to
December 9, 2008, presented herein, are the historical financial statements of GigOptix LLC, as GigOptix LLC was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the merger with Lumera. See Note 6, Business Combinations, for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory write-downs,
valuation of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and identified intangible assets, valuation of deferred taxes and contingencies. In addition, the Company uses assumptions when employing the Black-Scholes option valuation model to
calculate the fair value of stock granted. The Company bases its estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE
2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of optical modulator drivers and receivers, MCMS, and other products is recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales
arrangement exists, transfer of title and acceptance, where applicable, occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue for product shipments is recognized upon acceptance of
the product by the customer or expiration of the contractual acceptance period, after which there are no rights of return. Provisions are made for warranties at the time revenue is recorded. See Note 13 for further detail related to the warranty
provision.

Customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Transfer of title and
risk of ownership occur based on defined terms in customer purchase orders, and generally pass to the customer upon shipment, at which point goods are delivered to a carrier. There are no formal customer acceptance terms or further obligations,
outside of the Companys standard product warranty. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Collectability is assessed based primarily on the credit
worthiness of the customer as determined through ongoing credit evaluations of the customers financial condition, as well as consideration of the customers payment history.

Revenue generated from engineering product development projects and the research and development cost reimbursement contracts, cost plus
fixed fee type contracts, for the United States government is recorded using the percentage of completion method measured on a cost-incurred basis. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and revenues and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenue when realization
is assured. Losses, if any, are recognized in full as soon as identified. Losses occur when the estimated direct and indirect costs to complete the contract exceed the unrecognized revenue on the contract. The Company evaluates the reserve for
contract losses on a contract-by-contract basis. No losses have been incurred on any contracts to date.

In the year ended
December 31, 2009, the Company used provisional rates to bill amounts under government contracts. In March 2010, the Company received approved rates by the government for 2009 that



55

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



were lower than those that had been used for billing purposes during each of the four quarters in fiscal 2009. As a result of the change in estimated billing rates, the Company recorded a
reduction in revenue received under government contracts of $1.3 million and reflected such amount as a change in estimate and recorded it in the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Unbilled accounts receivables, included as a component of accounts receivable on the balance sheet, comprises amounts of revenue recognized
on contracts that the Company has not yet billed to a customer because the amounts were not contractually billable at the balance sheet date. The Company was contractually able to bill 93% of the unbilled accounts receivable balance at
December 31, 2009 within 45 days of the year-end.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and
accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. At any time, amounts held at any single financial institution may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
believes that the concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the Companys credit evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally requires no collateral.

As of December 31, 2009, 2 customers accounted for 13% and 12% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2008, four customers
accounted for 17%, 16%, 12% and 10% of total accounts receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2009, 3 customers accounted for 24%, 23% and 10% of revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008, one customer accounted for
33% of revenue.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost computed on an average-cost basis. Cost includes labor, material and overhead costs, including product and process technology costs.
Determining fair market value of inventories involves numerous judgments, including projecting average selling prices and sales volumes for future periods and costs to complete products in work in process inventories. As a result of this analysis,
when fair market values are below costs, the Company records a charge to cost of revenue in advance of when the inventory is scrapped or sold.

The Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence on a quarterly basis. This evaluation includes analysis of historical and forecasted sales levels by product.
Inventories on hand in excess of forecasted demand are provided for. In addition, the Company writes off inventories that are considered obsolete. Obsolescence is determined from several factors, including competitiveness of product offerings,
market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence. Increases to the provision for excess and obsolete inventory are charged to cost of revenue. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is
established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. If this lower-cost inventory is subsequently sold, the related provision is matched to the movement of
related product inventory, resulting in lower costs and higher gross margins for those products.

The Companys
inventories include high-technology parts that may be subject to rapid technological obsolescence and which are sold in a highly competitive industry. If actual product demand or selling prices are less favorable than estimate, the Company may be
required to take additional inventory write-downs.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets include equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and
intangible assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the accounting guidance related to impairment of disposal of long-lived assets. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the estimate of undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets as compared to the assets carrying amount. If the carrying
value exceeds the estimated future cash flows, the asset is considered to be impaired. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset. Factors the Company considers
important that could trigger an impairment review include continued operating losses, significant negative industry trends, significant underutilization of the assets and significant changes in how the Company plans to use the assets.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of three to seven years for existing
technology; five to sixteen years for patents; one year for order backlog; ten years for trade name; and three to eight years for customer relationships.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with applicable
accounting guidance. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net purchased tangible and intangible assets acquired and is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an
impairment test annually. The Company will perform its annual goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. Factors that the Company considers important
which could trigger an impairment review include the following:



| |  |  | significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant negative industry or economic trends; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant decline in the Companys market capitalization.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step requires a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its
net book value, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit. A potential impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower
than its net book value. The second step of the process is only performed if a potential impairment exists, and it involves determining the difference between the fair values of the reporting units net assets, other than goodwill, and the fair
value of the reporting unit, and, if the difference is less than the net book value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded. In the event that the Company determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a
charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had two reporting units within its single operating segment. One reporting unit, which carries all of the
Companys goodwill, was created as a result of the acquisition ChipX, Inc., on November 9, 2009. The other reporting unit consists of the Companys legacy business.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of $551,000 in satisfaction of the letter of credit provisions of the Companys Bothell, Washington facility lease which has a remaining lease term of approximately 1 year
and $50,000 held in an escrow account related to a lease agreement of the Zurich, Switzerland facility. The restricted cash consists of amounts in interest-bearing cash accounts, classified as long term due to the length of the lease commitments.

Pension Liabilities

The Company maintains pension plans covering minimum requirements according to Swiss law for its Zurich, Switzerland employees. The Company accounts for such pension plans in accordance with the accounting guidance related to
employers defined benefit pension and other retirement plans. The guidance requires the Company to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans on its balance sheets and changes in the
funded status to be reflected in comprehensive income.

Net periodic pension costs are calculated based upon a number of
actuarial assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets and assumed rate of compensation increases for plan employees. All of these assumptions are based upon managements judgment,
considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions would impact the future expense recognition and cash funding requirements of the Companys pension plans.

Foreign Currency

The
financial position and results of operations of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into
U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these
subsidiaries financial statements are reported as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company records foreign currency transaction gains and losses, realized and unrealized, in other income
(expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded approximately $35,000 of net gains in 2009 and $84,000 of net losses in 2008.

Product Warranty

The Companys products are generally subject to
warranty, which provides for the repair or replacement of products (at the Companys option) that fail to perform within stated specification. The Company provides for the estimated cost to repair or replace the product at the time of sale. The
warranty accrual is estimated based on historical claims and assumes that the Company will replace products subject to claims.

Research
and Development Expense

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist
primarily of consulting and engineering design, non-capitalized tools and equipment, equipment depreciation and employee compensation.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses, which are recorded in
selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $30,000 and $99,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the awards ultimately expected to vest and is
recognized as an expense, on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the fair value of its stock-based awards utilizing various assumptions with respect to expected
holding period, risk-free interest rates, stock price volatility and dividend yield.

The accounting guidance also requires
forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised if necessary in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures or vesting differ from those estimates. Such revisions could have a material effect on the Companys operating results. The
assumptions the Company uses in the valuation model are based on subjective future expectations combined with management judgment. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future
awards may differ materially compared to the awards granted previously.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments arising from the consolidation of the Companys
foreign subsidiaries. The components of comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):



|                                        |  |                          |         |   |      |   |        |

|Comprehensive loss                      |  | $                        | (10,056 | ) |      | $ | (7,511 | )
|                                        |  |                          |         |   |      |   |        |  

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The number of shares used in the computation of diluted net loss per share is the same as those used
for the computation of basic net loss per share as the inclusion of dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive because the Company is in a loss position for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset
and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income
taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of the Companys assets and liabilities and are
adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. The Company
recognizes potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be
unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits

being recognized in the period when the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further
charge to expense would result.

NOTE 3RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued theFASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
Codification), the authoritative guidance for GAAP. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The Codification is
now the single official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP (other than guidance issued by the SEC), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and related
literature. Only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP now exists. All other literature is considered non-authoritative. The Codification does not change U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted the Codification during the quarter ended
October 4, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any substantive impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements or related footnotes.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased, and in identifying transactions that are
not orderly. Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a
significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. The guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance
in the quarter ended July 5, 2009, and there was no material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments on investments in debt securities. If an entitys management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt
security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to credit losses (recorded
in earnings) and 2) all other amounts (recorded in other comprehensive income). This guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance for the quarter
ended July 5, 2009, and there was no material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued an accounting standard under which an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It
further requires that (1) acquisition- related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, (2) restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and (3) changes
in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D, is capitalized as an
indefinite intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life once development is complete. The adoption of this standard changed GigOptix accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2009. See Note 6, Business Combinations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

December 2008, the Company has retroactively adjusted the share numbers disclosed in prior periods to give effect to the exchange ratio which was used in the merger to convert the membership units of GigOptix LLC to shares of common stock of
GigOptix.

NOTE 6BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of ChipX, Incorporated

On November 9, 2009, the Company
completed an acquisition of 100% of the voting equity interests of ChipX, Incorporated, (ChipX), a privately-held fabless supplier of analog and mixed signal custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The acquisition of
ChipX provides the Company with a rich portfolio of intellectual property and complementary skills that will enable GigOptix to develop new products to expand its offering to the optically connected market. Under the terms of the ChipX Transaction,
ChipX stockholders received, in aggregate, 3,540,946 shares of GigOptix common stock. The net assets, including identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, including interest bearing debt of ChipX assumed by the Company as of the
effective time of the ChipX transaction, were recorded at their respective fair values. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value
measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.

The fair values of identifiable intangible assets related to customer relationships, existing technology, trade name and order backlog were primarily determined by using an excess earnings or relief from
royalty income approach, through which fair value is estimated based on each assets discounted projected net cash flows. The fair value of the acquired patents was determined by using a market approach, as there were no
financial projections specifically related to the patents. Under the income approach, the Companys estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, margins and expense levels; the
performance of competing products where applicable; relevant industry growth drivers and factors; current and expected trends in technology and product life cycles; the time and investment that will be required to develop products and technologies;
the ability to manufacture and commercialize the products; the extent and timing of potential new product introductions by the Companys competitors; and the life of each assets underlying patent, if any. The net cash flows are then
probability-adjusted where appropriate to consider the uncertainties associated with the underlying assumptions, as well as the risk profile of the net cash flows utilized in the valuation. The probability-adjusted future net cash flows are then
discounted to present value utilizing an appropriate discount rate.

The purchase consideration for the merger was
approximately $12.4 million, which consisted of the fair value of 3.5 million shares of GigOptix common stock issued to ChipXs stockholders, was determined using a per share price of $3.50, which reflects the closing price of the
Companys common stock on November 9, 2009.

Acquisition of Lumera

On December 9, 2008, GigOptix LLC completed a merger with Lumera (the Lumera Transaction), a company established to develop, manufacture
and market devices using proprietary polymer materials and formed GigOptix. The merger was intended to continue to extend GigOptix LLCs commercialization strategy, product platform and sales and marketing channels, while leveraging
Lumeras proprietary polymer research and development expertise and modulator product platform to become an industry leader in the delivery of electronic engines for optically connected communications systems. As a result of the Lumera
Transaction, existing securities holders of Lumera and GigOptix LLC each owned approximately 50% of the outstanding securities of the Company, including options and warrants. GigOptix LLC was the acquiring entity for purposes of applying the
purchase method of accounting. As GigOptix LLC was the accounting acquirer; the historical financial statements of GigOptix LLC became the historical financial statements of the Company. The net assets, including identifiable intangible assets and
liabilities of Lumera as of the effective time of the Lumera Transaction were recorded at their respective fair values. The results of operations of Lumera were combined with the results of operations of GigOptix LLC and were included in the results
of operations of the Company, beginning December 10, 2008.

The purchase consideration for the Lumera Transaction was
approximately $6.3 million, which includes direct acquisition costs incurred by the Company. Components of the total purchase consideration are as follows (in thousands):



|                                  |  |   |      
|--------------------------------- |  | - | -----

|                                  |  |   |      

The fair value of common stock issued in connection
with the merger was determined using a per share price of $1.72, which reflects the closing price of the Companys common stock on December 9, 2008, the date the merger was completed. The Company issued approximately 3.0 million
shares of common stock to purchase Lumera Corporation. In connection with the Lumera merger, the Company also issued stock options to purchase 251,455 shares of common stock to replace the existing awards of the option holders of Lumera. The fair
value of the options calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model was insignificant and hence was not reflected in the purchase price consideration. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 488,818 shares of common stock. In accordance
with the terms of the definitive agreement, the conversion value of the warrants was based on the exercise price of each warrant divided by a conversion ratio of 0.125. The fair value of the warrants, estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model, was approximately $173,000. See Note 10,Stockholders Equity (Deficit), for discussion of this model and method of determining the valuation assumptions.

The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price
was allocated based on the estimated fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger. The estimated fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
was in excess of the purchase price resulting in negative goodwill of approximately $4.4 million, which was allocated to the fair values of acquired long-lived tangible and intangible assets, including acquired in-process research and development,
or IPR&D, on a pro-rata basis resulting in a reduction of their recorded amounts. The total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

The fair value of the acquired patents was determined based on the market approach, known as the relief from
royalty method. This method is based on the premise that the intangible asset owner would be willing to pay a reasonable royalty rate to license in the patented technology. License rates are estimated from an analysis of market-derived data for
licenses of comparable technology and based on the analysis, the assumed royalty rate calculated is 6%. The intangible patent asset acquired has estimated economic life of approximately 5 years. The associated amortization expense is presented as a
component of cost of revenue.

Acquired IPR&D relates to projects under development associated with electro-optic
components, specifically optical modulators, which will be used in high-speed optical networking and optical transmission applications. The preliminary value assigned to acquire IPR&D was determined by considering the importance of products
under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased technology into commercially viable products, estimating resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting net cash flows to present
value. The fair value of acquired IPR&D was determined using the income approach, which discounts expected cash flows to present value. At the date of merger, the projects under development were determined to be approximately 87% complete, with
net cash flows from the projects expected to commence in 2008. In connection with the merger, approximately $397,000 of acquired IPR&D was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2008. These projects were completed in 2009.

Acquisition of Helix AG

In January 2008, GigOptix LLC completed the acquisition of Helix AG, a private company registered in Zurich, Switzerland.
Helix designs and sells optoelectronic integrated circuits and vertical cavity surface emitting laser drivers. The aggregate purchase consideration for this acquisition was approximately $2.5 million, which includes direct transaction costs.

In addition, the agreement calls for contingent payments totaling $2.0 million to be made to a former Helix employee and
stockholder, contingent upon his continued employment with GigOptix LLC through the third anniversary of the acquisition close date. Any payments are automatically forfeited if the employment contingency is not met and accordingly, the payments made
are recorded as compensation expense, with $700,000 being recorded as a research and development expense in the year ended December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company had remaining $600,000 deposited in an escrow account, which
represents the maximum contingent payment due under the agreement, all of which is classified within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

The operating results of Helix have been included in GigOptix consolidated financial results since the January 15, 2008
acquisition close date. The components of the purchase price consideration were as follows:

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase
price was allocated based on the estimated fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The estimated fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed was in excess of the purchase price resulting in negative goodwill. Negative goodwill of approximately $790,000 has been allocated to the fair values of acquired long-lived assets, including acquired in-process research and
development, or IPR&D, on a pro-rata basis, resulting in a reduction of their recorded amounts. The total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Acquired IPR&D relates to projects under development associated with Helixs
10Gbps VCSEL driver chip and 4-channel TIAs. The preliminary value assigned to acquired IPR&D was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased
technology into commercially viable products, estimating resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting net cash flows to present value. The fair value of acquired IPR&D was determined using the income approach, which

acquisition, approximately $319,000 of acquired IPR&D was expensed in 2008. These projects were completed in 2009 and are now in production.

If the projects discussed above are not successfully developed and/or successfully marketed, the Companys revenue and profitability may be adversely affected in future periods.

The Company performs a review of the carrying value of
its intangible assets, if circumstances warrant, in accordance with accounting guidance. In its review, the Company compares the gross, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the underlying assets against the carrying value of those
assets. To the extent such cash flows do not exceed the carrying value of the underlying asset, the Company will record an impairment charge. In fiscal 2009, the Company determined that due to a sharp decline in revenue in the fourth quarter, an
impairment analysis of the intangibles relating to existing technology and customer relationships acquired in the acquisition of Helix was warranted. The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets using undiscounted forecasted cash
flows; this represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. The analysis indicated that the carrying of the intangible assets should be reduced to zero and, accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million.

In connection with the acquisition of ChipX on November 9, 2009, the Company recorded goodwill of $7.3 million. The acquisition of ChipX
provided the Company access to new customers and markets, broadens its portfolio of products, technology and customers, and also will enable the Company to integrate and leverage its technology into new products and solutions for the optical
interconnect market. These factors primarily contributed to a purchase price that resulted in goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE 8LINE OF CREDIT

On November 12, 2009, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the Credit Agreement) with ChipX and Bridge
Bank, N.A. (Bridge Bank) (the Credit Agreement). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company is entitled to borrow from Bridge Bank up to $4 million on a revolving accounts receivable credit line, subject to limits
based on the Companys eligible accounts as determined by Bridge Bank (the Revolving Line). Subject to availability under the Revolving Line, the Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sublimit, a cash management sublimit and
a foreign exchange sublimit, each not to exceed $1.0 million. Interest on extensions of credit is equal to the prime rate of Bridge Bank plus 2.50%, with such prime rate in no event being less than 4.00% per annum. Interest payments under the
Credit Agreement are due on the tenth calendar day of each month.

The Credit Agreement is secured by all personal property of
the Company and ChipX, including all accounts, equipment, inventory, receivables, and general intangibles.

The Credit
Agreement includes customary representations and warranties for agreements of this type, including a material adverse effect clause, the occurence of which would be considered an event of default. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a number
of restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the Companys operations, including, but not limited to its ability to:



| |  |  | Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization, or acquire, or permit
any of its subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Create, incur, assume any indebtedness, other than certain indebtedness permitted under the Credit Agreement; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Make dividends or distributions or repurchase capital stock in excess of $500,000 per fiscal year.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, at any time that loans under the Credit Agreement are outstanding, the Company is required to maintain an Asset Coverage
Ratio of (a) cash maintained at Bridge Bank plus 80% of the Companys accounts receivable under 90 days from invoice date to (b) indebtedness owed to Bridge Bank of not less than 1.75 to 1.00, measured as at the end of each
month. Further, the Company must maintain certain levels of maximum loss and minimum GAAP profit. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, in the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company must not incur a loss greater than $4,600,000.
For the quarter ending March 31, 2010, the Company must not incur a loss greater than $750,000 and for all quarters thereafter, the Company must maintain a minimum profit of $1.00. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in violation of
certain of the covenants. Specifically, the Company was in default on the maximum GAAP loss covenant under which the Company could not incur a loss greater than $4.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and was also in default with
the covenant to provide monthly financial statements. At December 31, 2009, the amount outstanding under the line of credit was approximately $1.5 million, which is classified within current liabilities.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to Bridge Bank 59,773 warrants to purchase common stock with an exercise price
of $3.35 per share. The warrants have a seven-year life from the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2009, these warrants were outstanding.

NOTE 9BENEFIT PLANS

In connection with the acquisition of Helix, the Company assumed a pension
plan covering minimum requirements according to Swiss law. The Company has set up the occupational benefits by means of an affiliation to a collective foundation, the Swisscanto Foundation.

As of December 31, 2009, the total accumulated benefit obligation of $448,000 and the projected
benefit obligation of $614,000 both exceeded the plan assets of approximately $428,000.

Plan Assets

The benefits are fully insured. There are no retirees and the plan assets are equal to the sum of the old-age savings and of various other
accounts within the affiliation contract.

The allocation of the assets of the plan at the measurement dates were 100% in cash
and cash equivalents. The Company is required by Swiss law to contribute to retirement funds for the employees of its Swiss subsidiary. Funds are managed by third parties according to statutory guidelines. Cash equivalents may be valued using quoted
prices in markets that are not active, resulting in a Level 2 fair value measurement within the hierarchy set forth in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements.

Contributions

The Company expects to make contributions to the plan of
approximately $29,000 in the year ending December 31, 2010. Actual contributions may differ from expected contributions due to various factors, including performance of plan assets, interest rates and potential legislative changes. The Company
is not able to estimate expected contributions beyond fiscal year 2010.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The following table summarizes expected benefit payments through 2019. Actual benefit payments may differ from expected benefit payments (in

Israel Severance Plan liability

Under Israeli law, the Company is required to make severance payments to its retired or dismissed Israeli employees and Israeli employees
leaving its employment in certain other circumstances. The severance pay liability of the Company to its Israeli employees is calculated based on the salary of each employee multiplied by the number of years of such employees employment and is
presented in the Companys balance sheet in long-term liabilities, as if it was payable at each balance sheet date on an undiscounted basis. This liability is partially funded by the purchase of insurance policies in the name of the employees.
The surrender value of the insurance policies is presented in long-term assets. Severance pay expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 was immaterial. At December 31, 2009, accrued severance liability and severance assets were $722,000 and
$666,000, respectively, resulting in an unfunded portion of the severance plan of $56,000

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes the Companys stock-based compensation expense for fiscal years 2009 and 2008:

Management estimates expected forfeitures and it
records compensation expense only for those equity awards expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as an analysis of actual option forfeitures.

As of December 31, 2009, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options under the Companys equity compensation
plan, but not yet recognized, was approximately $1.9 million. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 4.22 years.

Determining Fair Value

The Company estimates the fair value of stock
options granted using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the options expected life and the price volatility of the Companys underlying stock options. Actual
volatility, expected lives, interest rates and forfeitures may be different than the Companys assumptions, which would result in an actual value of the options being different than estimated. This fair value of stock option grants is amortized
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

The fair
value of the Companys stock options granted to employees was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:



|                            |  |                          |         |   |      |   |         |

Expected
TermThe Companys expected term used in the Black-Scholes valuation method represents the period that the Companys stock options are expected to be outstanding and is derived from the historical expected terms of
guideline companies selected based on similar industry and product focus.

Expected VolatilityThe
Companys expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is derived from a combination of historical and implied volatility of guideline companies selected based on similar industry and product focus.

Expected DividendThe Company has never paid dividends and currently does
not intend to do so, and accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.

Risk-Free Interest
RateThe Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities issued with a term equivalent to the expected term of the
option.

GigOptix LLC and its predecessor iTerra were limited liability companies that elected to be taxed as
partnerships and were not subject to U.S. income taxes. Accordingly, no deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized in fiscal year 2007. All U.S. deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2009.

The Company has approximately $27 million of federal net operating losses carryforwards at December 31, 2009. The net operating losses
expire through year 2021. The Company has approximately $7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2009. The net operating losses expire through 2019. Utilization of a portion of the net operating losses and credit
carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and
credits before utilization. The Company also has approximately $15 million of net operating loss carryforwards in Israel related to its acquisition of ChipX. These losses in that jurisdiction can be carried forward indefinitely.

Any interest and penalties incurred on the settlement of outstanding tax positions would be recorded as a component of interest expense. The
Company had no related accrued interest or penalties as of December 31, 2009.

Contingencies

Tax Contingencies

In 2008, the Franchise Tax Board (FTB)
completed its audit of the Companys qualifying sales and use activity for 2004 through 2007 and has proposed an amount due. The Company received a notice from the FTB and was assessed $0.3 million, which represents principal and estimated
interest and penalties. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company accrued $0.3 million in relation to the sales and use tax due for the period 2004 through 2007, and in June 2009, the Company paid approximately $0.2 million to the FTB.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accrued the estimated sales and use tax payable relating to fiscal years 2008 and 2009.

The Companys income tax calculations are based on application of the respective U.S. Federal, state or foreign tax law. The Companys tax filings, however, are subject to audit by the respective tax authorities. Accordingly,
the Company recognizes tax liabilities based upon its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due.

NOTE 14RESTRUCTURING

In December 2009, the Company adopted a plan to reduce the size of its facilities in Bothell, Washington. The Company reduced the amount of square footage it occupies from approximately 32,000 square feet
to approximately 12,000 square feet and took a restructuring charge of $0.5 million to reflect the proportionate share of remaining lease expense it will incur for the unoccupied space of the facility and costs associated with improvements needed to
segregate the facility. The existing lease on the facility expires in March 2011. Although the Company has made available for sub-lease approximately 20,000 square feet, it does not anticipate it will receive any sub-lease income associated with
this space prior to the lease expiration. Approximately $0.4 million will be paid out in 2010 with the balance to be paid in 2011.

In October 2009, in anticipation of its acquisition by the Company, ChipX incurred severance costs of $0.4 million in connection with a reduction in its work force. The Company recognized this expense in its consolidated statement of
operations after the acquisition date as a restructuring expense. All amounts were paid prior to December 31, 2009.

NOTE
15RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As a result of the acquisition of ChipX on November 9, 2009, National Instruments
Corporation, a former stockholder of ChipX, currently holds 1,066,265 shares of GigOptix common stock. Since the date of the acquisition, the Company generated revenue of $231,000 from sales to National Instruments Corporation.

NOTE 16SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 29, 2010, the Company, entered into a loan agreement for a secured line of credit facility (Secured Credit Facility) with Agility Capital, LLC (Agility Capital) to pay for transaction expenses
incurred by the Company in its acquisition of ChipX. The Secured Credit Facility provides that the Company may borrow one advance of up to $500,000 and has a maturity date of December 1, 2010. Borrowings will bear interest at 14.0% per
annum. Beginning March 1, 2010, and on the first day of each month thereafter, $50,000 plus accrued but unpaid interest is to be paid to Agility Capital, and all amounts outstanding on December 1, 2010 are due and payable at that time. In
the event of a default, the interest rate will be increased to 5.0% above the rate that would otherwise apply, and in addition, Agility will receive a fee of $5,000, with an additional fee of $5,000 on each thirtieth day thereafter for so long as
the event of default continues.

Under the terms of the Secured Credit Facility, the Company paid Agility Capital a $20,000
fee. Additionally, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 71,429 shares of the Companys common stock.

GIGOPTIX, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The warrant may either be (i) converted, on a cashless, net settlement basis, based on the fair market value as determined pursuant to the terms of the warrant, or (ii) exercised at a
price per share equal to the lower of $2.10 or the price paid in the next sale or issuance of the Companys common stock, if any, occurring by April 29, 2010. The warrant has a term of seven years. In the event of a default under the
Secured Credit Facility, Agility Capital can acquire an additional 25,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price equal to the average closing price of the Companys common stock for the fifteen days before the date of
the occurrence of the event of default, and an additional 35,000 shares on each thirtieth day thereafter for so long as the event of default continues, provided the aggregate additional shares which Agility Capital may acquire does not exceed
100,000 shares.

The Secured Credit Facility is secured by all personal property of the Company and ChipX, including
all accounts, equipment, inventory, receivables, and general intangibles, and such security interest shall be junior in priority to such rights as are held by Bridge Bank, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

|ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2009. In light of the material weakness set forth below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date. Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, our
management performed additional analyses, reconciliations and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that the Companys consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that we have the following material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009:

We did not maintain a sufficient complement of
personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, this deficiency resulted in
audit adjustments related to the completeness and accuracy of our prepaid and other current assets, accruals and other current liabilities, capital lease and line of credit accounts, and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2009. Additionally, this deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial



84



---

##### Table of Contents

statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

Based on the above described material weakness, our management, including our CEO and CFO has concluded that we did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the COSO.

As a smaller reporting company, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, this Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm.

Implemented or Planned Remedial Actions in response to the Material Weakness

In response to the material weakness discussed above, we plan to continue to review and make necessary changes to improve
our internal control over financial reporting, including the roles and responsibilities of each functional group within the organization and reporting structure, as well as the appropriate policies and procedures to improve the overall internal
control over financial reporting.

We have summarized below the remediation measures that we have implemented in response to
the material weakness discussed above:



| |  |  | To strengthen our controls over our financial closing and external reporting process, we recently hired a Chief Financial Officer and a Corporate
Controller, who we believe have the knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have summarized below the remediation measures that we plan to implement in response to the material weakness discussed above:



| |  |  | We will evaluate our business process controls with the intent to automate many of the currently manual processes through increased use of our
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. In addition, we have planned an upgrade and companywide integration of our ERP system, which is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2010.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We plan to implement internal control policies and procedures throughout the Company that fully meet the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC and PCAOB rules and regulations during fiscal year 2010.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We will educate and train our employees on existing and new policies and procedures, require our finance and accounting staff to attend training in
various areas of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and enhance communications between finance and operations personnel through formalized inter-departmental information exchange on a recurring basis, in a continual effort to improve
internal control over financial reporting.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In an effort to remediate our material weakness as discussed
above and to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we plan to devote significant resources which will be reviewed and periodically updated as appropriate to ensure they are sufficient.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting, except as described above in the section, Implemented or Planned Remedial Actions in Response to the Material Weakness.
