The accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements of Optical Cable Corporation (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended April 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007 because the following items, among

the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 or as otherwise identified in other filings by the Company as risks possibly affecting future results. The unaudited condensed financial statements and
condensed notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Companys annual financial statements and notes. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto

|(2) | Stock Option Plan and Other Stock-Based Compensation
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------

Optical Cable Corporation uses stock incentives to increase the personal financial interest key employees have in the future success of the Company, thereby aligning their interests with those of the shareholders and strengthening their
desire to remain with the Company.

The Company authorized, reserved and registered 750,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to
the Optical Cable Corporation 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996 Plan). The 1996 Plan terminated in accordance with the terms of the plan document on March 1, 2006. Options outstanding under the 1996 Plan may continue to be
exercised until such time that the options expire or are forfeited under the terms of individual awards. Restricted stock awards granted under the 1996 Plan will continue to vest unless otherwise forfeited under the terms of individual awards. No
further awards will be made under the 1996 Plan.

In March of 2005, the Companys shareholders approved the Optical Cable Corporation
2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan is the successor of the 1996 Plan. The Company has authorized, reserved and registered 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2005 Plan. As of April 30,
2007, there were approximately 585,000 remaining shares available for grant under the 2005 Plan.

Share-based compensation expense
(including the expense for both stock option awards granted prior to July 2002 and restricted stock awards) recognized in the condensed statements of operations for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

The estimated fair value of the Companys share-based awards, less estimated forfeitures, is
amortized over the awards vesting period on a straight-line basis.

Under the 1996 Plan, employees and outside contractors were issued
options to purchase common stock, all of which were issued prior to July 2002. The exercise price equaled the market price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Options issued under the 1996 Plan generally vest incrementally over
one to five years, and remain exercisable for ten years from the date of grant.

During 2002, non-employee members of the Companys
Board of Directors were granted options to purchase a total of 3,123 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $7.12 per share, the closing price at the date of grant. These options were not granted pursuant to a plan.
Options issued to non-employee directors vested monthly over one year.

The fair value of options granted prior to November 1, 2005 was
estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the Companys stock over a period at least as long as the options expected
term. The expected term represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107), which averages an awards
weighted average vesting period and its contractual term for plain vanilla share options. The risk-free rate is based on the available zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with remaining terms equal to the expected term of the share
options.

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at April 30, 2007 was
$3,150. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the positive difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $5.27 as of April 30, 2007, and the exercise price multiplied by the
number of options outstanding.

As of April 30, 2007, all compensation cost related to stock options granted to employees prior to July
2002 under the 1996 Plan has been recognized. As of April 30, 2007, the maximum amount of compensation cost related to unvested equity-based compensation awards in the form of service-based, market-condition based, and operational
performance-based shares that the Company will have to recognize over a 3.2 year weighted-average period is $2.4 million.

The Company had
granted restricted stock awards under the 1996 Plan. A portion of the restricted stock awards granted under the 1996 Plan vest based on the passage of time and the remainder vest over time if certain performance criteria are met. The Company records
compensation expense ratably over the vesting periods equal to the number of shares multiplied by the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved restricted
stock awards under the 1996 Plan in December 2004 and 2003 in the amount of 191,000 and 149,000 shares, respectively.

The Company has
granted, and anticipates granting from time to time, restricted stock awards under the 2005 Plan pursuant to approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. A portion of the restricted stock awards granted under the 2005 Plan vest
based on the passage of time and the remainder vest over time if certain market condition-based or operational performance-based criteria are met. Failure to meet the criteria required for vestingwhether for the market condition-based shares
or for the operational performance-based shareswill result in a portion or all of the shares being forfeited. The Company recognizes expense on the service-based and market condition-based shares each quarter based on the actual number of
shares vested during the quarter multiplied by the grant date fair value. The Company recognizes expense on the operational performance-based shares each quarter using an estimate of the shares expected to vest multiplied by the closing price of the
Companys common stock on the date of grant. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires that any previously recognized compensation cost shall not be reversed if the shares are forfeited as a result of not meeting the market
condition.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved restricted stock awards under the 2005 Plan in January 2006, July 2006, and April 2007 in
the amount of 220,000, 10,000 and 191,071 shares, respectively.

On April 2, 2007, restricted stock awards under the 2005 Plan totaling
191,071 shares were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Of the restricted stock awards granted, 95,540 shares are service-based shares which vest quarterly over four years with the first vesting date
occurring on July 31, 2007; and 95,531 shares are operational performance-based shares vesting over approximately three years beginning on January 31, 2008 based on the achievement of certain operational performance goals.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to its restricted stock awards totaling $176,645 and $351,101, respectively, during the three months and
six months ended April 30, 2007 and $152,085 and $261,241, respectively, during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006.

During the three months ended April 30, 2007, restricted stock awards under the Non-employee Directors Stock Plan, as amended, totaling 13,764 shares were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The shares are part of the
non-employee Directors annual compensation for service on the Board of Directors, and the shares vested immediately upon grant. The Company recorded compensation expense equal to the number of shares multiplied by the closing price of the
Companys common stock on the date of grant. The Company recorded compensation expense totaling $72,261 during the three months and six months ended April 30, 2007.

In total, restricted stock award activity during the six months ended April 30, 2007 consisted of restricted share grants totaling 204,835 shares,
and 10,314 restricted shares withheld for taxes.



|(3) | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Trade Accounts Receivable
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the
Companys existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews outstanding trade accounts receivable at the end of each quarter and records allowances for doubtful accounts as deemed appropriate for (i) certain individual customers and
(ii) for all other trade accounts receivable in total. In determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts to be recorded for individual customers, the Company considers the age of the receivable, the financial stability of the
customer, discussions that may have occurred with the customer and managements judgment as to the overall collectibility of the receivable from that customer. In addition, the Company establishes an allowance for all other receivables for
which no specific allowances are deemed necessary. This portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a percentage of total trade accounts receivable with different percentages used based on different age categories of receivables. The
percentages used are based on the Companys historical experience and managements current judgment regarding the state of the economy and the industry. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection
have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Also see note 11.

|(5) | Note Receivable
|--- | ---------------

On April 22, 2005, the
Company agreed to extend a loan to a start-up connector company, Applied Optical Systems, Inc. (the Borrower), specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of connectors and cable assemblies for certain niche markets. The Borrower
offers complementary products to the Companys product offering and is still in the development stage. As a development stage company, the Borrower currently has limited revenues and assets and is incurring net losses. As of April 30,
2007, total assets of the Borrower, based on unaudited financial information, was equivalent to approximately 5.2% of the Companys total assets. Total revenue of the Borrower, based on unaudited financial information, was equivalent to
approximately 4.7% and 6.9%, respectively, of the Companys net sales for the three month and the six month periods ended April 30, 2007.

This loan, and the related transactions described further herein, is part of a strategy designed to provide the Company with an option to expand its product line offering in certain market niches in which the Company currently sells its
fiber optic cable products and to preserve channels to market for the Companys existing product line offering in those market niches over the longer term.

Through April 30, 2007, the Company had advanced a total of $3,012,159, net (including some
accrued interest and accounts receivable from certain product sales) to the Borrower. The note receivable, which matures July 31, 2008, is collateralized by all of the Borrowers tangible and intangible property and bears interest at six
percent (6%) per annum. Two of the founders of the Borrower have also personally guaranteed amounts up to two-thirds of the principal balance outstanding on the note receivable plus two-thirds of any accrued interest related to the note
receivable. In connection with the loan, the Company was issued a warrant by the Borrower which, as amended, gives the Company the right to purchase a fifty-six percent (56%) equity interest in the Borrower on a fully diluted, as converted
basis, for a purchase price of $1,500,000. In addition, the Company was granted the right to purchase all other outstanding equity of the Borrower at various times from 2009 through 2012, at a fixed multiple of trailing earnings before interest and
taxes (EBIT), conditioned upon the Companys exercise of the warrant or the Borrowers failure to repay the loan when due. The note receivable is callable by the Company at any time. The Companys rights under the warrant terminate if
the warrant is not exercised prior to the expiration date. Subsequent to April 30, 2007, the Company made additional advances to the Borrower totaling $225,000.

The Company sold fiber optic cables to the Borrower totaling $18,764 and $120,654 during the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, the
Borrower sold product to the Company totaling $76,000. The Company has included $95,275 related to the sale of product to the Borrower in note receivable in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of April 30, 2007.

The Company recorded interest income related to the loan totaling $32,874 during fiscal year 2006, all of which is included in note receivable in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet as of April 30, 2007.



|(6) | Product Warranties
|--- | ------------------

The Company generally warrants
its products against certain manufacturing and other defects in material and workmanship. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time and are applicable assuming the product has not been subjected to misuse, improper
installation, negligence, or shipping damage. As of April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006, the Companys accrual for estimated product warranty claims totaled $50,000 and $75,000, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses. Warranty claims expense includes the costs to investigate claims and potential claims, and the costs to replace and/or repair product pursuant to claims, which in certain cases can include claims not deemed valid by the Company.
The accrued product warranty costs are based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims and costs as well as current information with respect to potential warranty claims and costs. Warranty claims expense, net of recoveries for
the three months and six months ended April 30, 2007 totaled $52,529 and $36,743, respectively. Warranty claims expense for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006 totaled $38,352 and $67,100, respectively.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Companys accrual for product warranties during the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006:

|(7) | Warrants
|--- | --------

During fiscal year 2003, the Company
issued 250,000 warrants to class members defined in a consolidated class action lawsuit by the claims administrator for the class members in connection with shareholder litigation arising from actions of the Companys former chief executive
officer. The warrants were issued in accordance with a settlement agreement approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia on September 23, 2002. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the
Companys common stock at an exercise price of $4.88 per share. The warrants will expire October 24, 2007. The total number of warrants to be issued in accordance with the settlement agreement, 250,000 warrants, has been issued by the
Company. There were 232,873 and 234,205 warrants outstanding as of April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006, respectively. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, 1,332 warrants were exercised.



|(8) | Note Payable to Bank
|--- | --------------------

New Credit Facility

On September 25, 2006, the Company established revolving credit facilities with Valley Bank. The credit facilities with Valley
Bank provide a working capital line of credit (the Working Capital Facility), a machinery and equipment line of credit (the Machinery and Equipment Facility), and a real estate term loan (the Real Estate Loan),
which together replaced the Companys former credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (Wachovia). The Working Capital Facility, the Machinery and Equipment Facility and the Real Estate Loan together provide the
Company with an aggregate maximum of $13.5 million in available credit, less any borrowings. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $12.4 million of unused and available credit, after considering borrowing base calculations.

The Working Capital Facility provides up to $5 million for the Companys working capital needs and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%,
which equates to a facility rate of 7.47% as of April 30, 2007. The Working Capital Facility provides a lower interest rate option if the Company maintains specified depository limits with Valley Bank. The Company can borrow up to 85% of the
Companys eligible accounts receivable under the Working Capital Facility. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

The Machinery and Equipment Facility provides up to $2 million for machinery and equipment purchases and also bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%, which
equates to a facility rate of 7.47% as of April 30, 2007. Both the Machinery and Equipment Facility and the Working Capital Facility are secured by the Companys accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and equipment

and proceeds and are payable on demand with 60 days prior written notice, provided that the Company is not in default. If not sooner demanded, the Working
Capital Facility and the Machinery and Equipment Facility expire on February 28, 2008. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Machinery and Equipment Facility.

The Company may also borrow up to $6.5 million under the terms of the Real Estate Loan. The advances under the Real Estate Loan may be made at any time
within one year of closing. Furthermore, to the extent the Company has borrowings under the Real Estate Loan, principal and interest payments will be calculated monthly, based on a 25 year amortization. The unpaid balance, if any, on any advances
under the Real Estate Loan will be due October 1, 2011. Payments on the Real Estate Loan will be for interest only for the period from November 1, 2006 through October 1, 2007. Thereafter, through October 1, 2011 payments of both
principal and interest will be due monthly. The Real Estate Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.50% for 5 years and is secured by a first deed of trust on the Companys real property. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under the Real Estate Loan.

In connection with obtaining the Valley Bank credit facilities, the Company incurred
various costs. These financing costs, net of amortization, were deferred and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the condensed balance sheet. The deferred financing costs associated with the new credit facilities with Valley Bank
are being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over periods not greater than the minimum expected terms of the loan agreements. The deferred financing costs, net as of
April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006 totaled $40,751 and $93,062, respectively, and are included in prepaid expense and other assets on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Former Credit Facility

Prior to
September 25, 2006, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Wachovia. The initial term of the Wachovia loan agreement expired in April 2005 and was automatically extended through April 2006 pursuant to the terms of the original
agreement. Effective March 31, 2006, the Company and Wachovia agreed to amend and restate the terms of the financing, extending the Wachovia loan agreement until April 17, 2008. However, the Company terminated its credit facility with
Wachovia early in conjunction with the establishment of the Companys new credit facilities with Valley Bank. The Wachovia credit facility bore interest at one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum above the prime rate.



|(9) | Net Income (Loss) Per Share
|--- | ---------------------------

Basic net income
(loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income (loss) of the Company.

Otherwise dilutive securities, including stock options and warrants, to acquire approximately 7,704
shares net of assumed proceeds based on exercise price, and with an exercise price less than the stock price as of the six months ended April 30, 2007, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the six months
ended April 30, 2007 because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Stock options that could potentially dilute net income (loss)
per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share (because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented) totaled 220,712 for the three months and six months ended
April 30, 2007 and 237,778 for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2006.

|(11) | Segment Information and Business and Credit Concentrations
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company has a single reportable segment for purposes of segment reporting.

The Company provides credit, in the normal course
of business, to various commercial enterprises, governmental entities and not-for-profit organizations. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Companys large number of customers. The Company also
manages exposure to credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Management believes that credit risks as of April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006 have been adequately provided for in the condensed financial
statements.

For the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, 10.3% and 17.2%, respectively, of net sales were attributable to one
major domestic distributor. For the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, 12.0% and 16.2% of net sales were attributable to this distributor. One other single customer accounted for 10% of net sales during the three months ended
April 30, 2007, but no other single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during three months ended April 30, 2006 or the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. For the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006,
approximately 72% and 76%, respectively, of net sales were from customers located in the United States, and approximately 28% and 24%, respectively, were from customers outside of the United States.



|(12) | Contingencies
|---- | -------------

From time to time, the Company is
involved in various claims, legal actions and regulatory reviews arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.



|(13) | New Accounting Standards
|---- | ------------------------

In May 2005, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial StatementsAn Amendment
of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principal unless it is not practicable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have any effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SECs views on how the effects of the
carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The provisions of SAB 108 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The
adoption of this interpretation did not have any effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Summary of Company Performance for Second Quarter 2007

During the second quarter of our 2007 fiscal year, net sales decreased slightly to $11.1 million compared to $11.2 million during the same period last year. However, net
sales sequentially increased $1.9 million or 20.0% during the second quarter when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. At the same time, gross profit margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales, increased to 34.1% during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to 30.3% during the same period last year. We reported net income of $65,000 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to a net loss of $309,000 for the comparable period last year.

##### Table of Contents

For the six months ended April 30, 2007, net sales decreased 3.3% to $20.4 million compared to $21.1 million for the
same period last year. Gross profit margin increased to 34.6% compared to 31.7% for the same period last year. We reported a net loss of $81,000 during the first half of fiscal year 2007 compared to a net loss of $529,000 for the same period last
year.

We believe that the benefits of the investments made in our systems, processes and facilities are beginning to be realized and that these
investments have helped position us for future growth and increases in shareholder value. By the end of the second quarter, we had transitioned from dual processing of certain transactions on separate systems to exclusively using our new enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system. During the first half of fiscal year 2007, our manufacturing lead times decreased and our manufacturing efficiencies increased compared to the first half of 2006. We experienced improved gross profit
margins compared to the comparable period last year. We have also been able to reduce levels of certain inventories. We believe these improvements are in part the result of the successful implementation of the major portions of our new ERP system,
as well as, overcoming certain ERP implementation challenges during the first half of fiscal year 2006.

Our focus for the remainder of fiscal year 2007 is
on increasing net sales. We believe our investments in systems, processes and facilities have made our business more scalable, positioning us to support increased net sales levels. We also expect our efforts on key strategic initiatives to continue
during the second half of fiscal year 2007.

Overview of Optical Cable Corporation

We are a leading manufacturer of fiber optic cables primarily sold into the enterprise market, and the premier manufacturer of military ground tactical fiber optic cable for the U.S. military.

Founded in 1983, Optical Cable Corporation pioneered the design and production of fiber optic cables for the most demanding military field applications, as well as of
fiber optic cables suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our current broad product offering is built on the evolution of these fundamental technologies, and is designed to provide end-users with fiber optic cables that are easy and economical to
install, provide a high degree of reliability and offer outstanding performance characteristics.

We sell our products worldwide for uses ranging from
commercial and campus installations to customized products for specialty applications and harsh environments, including military applications. We manufacture our high quality fiber optic cables at our ISO 9001:2000 registered and MIL-STD-790F
certified facility located in Roanoke, Virginia.

Our tight-buffered fiber optic cables are used for high bandwidth transmission of data, video and audio
communications. The enterprise market into which we sell includes local area network and premises markets. Our fiber optic cables are well-suited for use in various other short- to moderate-distance applications as well.

We sell our products internationally and domestically through our sales force to our customers, which include major distributors, regional distributors, various smaller
distributors, original equipment manufacturers and value-added resellers. Net sales to customers located outside of the United States were 28% and 24% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net sales to customers
located outside of the United States were 28% and 24% of total net sales for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Substantially all of our sales to customers located outside of the United States are denominated in U.S.
dollars. We can experience fluctuations in the percentage of net sales to customers outside of the United States from period to period based on the timing of large orders, coupled with the impact of increases and decreases in sales to customers
located in the United States.

Net sales consist of gross sales of products less discounts, refunds and returns. Revenue is recognized at the time of
product shipment or delivery to the customer (including distributors) provided that the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, based on shipping terms. During the second quarters of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, 10.3% and
17.2% of our net sales were attributable to one major domestic distributor. For the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, 12.0% and 16.2%, respectively, of



17

##### Table of Contents

net sales were attributable to this distributor. One other single customer accounted for 10.0% of our net sales during the three months ended April 30,
2007, but no other single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the three months ended April 30, 2006 or the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006.

A significant percentage of the selling price of our fiber optic cable is based on the cost of raw materials used. Single-mode fiber is less expensive than multimode fiber, and consequently single-mode fiber optic
cables have a lower per unit selling price than comparable multimode fiber optic cables. We believe that while the long-haul, metropolitan, access and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTX) markets are predominantly the users of single-mode fiber optic cable,
increasingly, single-mode fiber optic cable is also being used for short- to moderate-distance installations where higher bandwidth is required. However, any trend toward the use of single-mode fiber optic cables in such short- to moderate-distance
installations may be slowed to the extent that 50 micron 10 gigabit multimode fiber optic cables are used to satisfy current bandwidth demands. To the extent that our sales mix shifts toward single-mode cables, we will have to increase the volume of
product sold to maintain our current level of net sales.

Cable containing multimode fiber is generally used for communications over shorter distances
where the higher bandwidth capacity and the higher transmission equipment cost of single-mode fiber is not required. Cable containing single-mode fiber is generally used for communications over longer distances and where higher bandwidth capacity is
required.

Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of materials, product warranty costs and compensation costs, and overhead and other costs related to our
manufacturing operations. The largest percentage of costs included in cost of goods sold is attributable to costs of materials.

Selling, general and
administrative expenses (SG&A expenses) consist of the compensation costs for sales and marketing personnel, shipping costs, trade show expenses, customer support expenses, travel expenses, advertising, bad debt expense, the
compensation costs for administration and management personnel, legal and accounting fees, costs incurred to settle litigation or claims and other actions against us, and other costs associated with our operations.

Other income (expense), net consists of interest income, interest expense and other miscellaneous income and expense items not directly attributable to our operations.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Sales

Net sales decreased 0.9% to $11.1 million for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2007 from $11.2 million for the same period in 2006. Sequentially, net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 20.0% compared to net sales of $9.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Net
sales to customers located outside of the United States continued to show substantial strength in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, increasing 17.6% compared to the same period last year, while net sales to customers located in the United
States decreased 6.8%.

The slight decrease in net sales during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 when compared to the same period last year was
primarily attributable to a decrease in our commercial market compared to the same period last year. Net sales in certain of our specialty markets increased during the second quarter compared to last year, partially offset by decreases in certain
other specialty markets.

We believe net sales results experienced in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 indicate that net sales were impacted by
seasonality factors. Further detail regarding seasonality is provided in our discussion of Seasonality.

Gross Profit

Gross profit margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales, increased to 34.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 30.3% in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2006. As a result, gross profit increased 11.7% to $3.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2006, despite the 0.9% decrease in net sales for the same period.

We believe that the benefits of the investments made in our systems, processes and facilities are beginning to be realized. During the second quarter of fiscal year
2007, our manufacturing lead times decreased, our manufacturing efficiencies increased, and we experienced improved gross profit margins, when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. We believe these improvements are in part the result
of the successful implementation of the major portions of our new ERP system by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007, as well as, overcoming certain ERP implementation challenges during the first half of fiscal year 2006.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses
decreased 5.0% to $3.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 from $3.9 million for the same period last year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 33.2% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 34.6% in the second quarter
of 2006. The decrease in SG&A expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to decreased employee compensation costs. Compensation costs decreased in the second quarter of fiscal
2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 largely as a result of severance expenses totaling approximately $285,000 before tax effects incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 associated with certain changes within our sales organization
last year.

Other Income (Expense), Net

We recognized other expense, net in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 of $1,000 compared to other income, net of $8,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. Other expense, net is comprised of interest income, interest expense and
other miscellaneous items which may fluctuate from period to period.

Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes

We reported income before income taxes of $100,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to a loss before income taxes of $482,000 for the second quarter of
fiscal year 2006. This change was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $398,000 and a decrease in SG&A expenses totaling $194,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2006.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense totaled $35,000 for
the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to income tax benefit of $173,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2006.Our effective tax rate was 35.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 35.9% in the second quarter of fiscal
2006. Generally, fluctuations in our effective tax rates are primarily due to the amount and timing of various tax deductions and benefits.

Net Income
(Loss)

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $65,000 compared to a net loss of $309,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.
This change was due primarily to income before taxes experienced in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 compared to a loss before taxes for the comparable period last year, partially offset by tax expense in the second quarter of 2007 compared to
a tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Six Months Ended April 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Sales

Net sales decreased 3.3% to $20.4 million for the first
half of fiscal year 2007 from $21.1 million for the same period in 2006. Net sales to customers located outside of the United States continued to show substantial strength in the first half of fiscal year 2007, increasing 12.5% compared to the
same period last year, while net sales to customers located in the United States decreased 8.3%.

The decrease in net sales during the first half of fiscal
year 2007 when compared to the comparable period last year was primarily attributable to a decrease in our commercial market compared to the same period last year. Net sales in certain of our specialty markets increased during the first half of
fiscal year 2007 compared to last year, partially offset by decreases in certain other specialty markets.

We believe net sales results experienced in the
first half of fiscal year 2007 indicate that net sales were impacted by seasonality factors. Further detail regarding seasonality is provided in our discussion of Seasonality.

Gross Profit

Gross profit margin, or gross profit as a percentage of
net sales, increased to 34.6% for the first half of fiscal year 2007 from 31.7% for the same period last year. As a result, gross profit increased 5.5% to $7.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 from $6.7 million for the same period in
2006, despite the 3.3% decrease in net sales for the same period.

##### Table of Contents

During the first half of fiscal year 2007, our manufacturing lead times decreased, our manufacturing efficiencies
increased and we experienced improved gross profit margins, when compared to the first half of fiscal year 2006. We believe these improvements are in part the result of the successful implementation of the major portions of our new ERP system by the
end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007, as well as, overcoming certain ERP implementation challenges during the first half of fiscal year 2006.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses decreased 4.8% to $7.2 million in the first half of 2007 from $7.5 million
for the same period last year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 35.2% for the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to 35.7% for the same period in 2006. The decrease in SG&A expenses during the first half of 2007
compared to the same period last year was primarily due to decreased employee compensation costs and decreased shipping costs, partially offset by increases in legal and professional fees. Compensation costs decreased in the first half of fiscal
2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 largely as a result of severance expenses totaling approximately $285,000 before tax effects incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 associated with certain changes within our sales organization
last year. In addition, our shipping costs decreased due in part to targeted efforts to reduce shipping related expenses.

Other Income (Expense), Net

We recognized other expense, net of $9,000 in the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to other income, net of $21,000 in the first half of 2006. Other
expense, net is comprised of interest income, interest expense and other miscellaneous items which may fluctuate from period to period.

Loss Before
Income Taxes

We reported a loss before income taxes of $125,000 for the first half of fiscal year 2007 compared to $824,000 for the first half of
fiscal year 2006. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $371,000 and a decrease in SG&A expenses totaling $358,000 in the first half of 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal year 2006.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit totaled $45,000 for the first
half of fiscal year 2007 compared to $296,000 for the same period in fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rate was 35.6% in the first half of 2007 compared to 35.9% in the first half of 2006. Generally, fluctuations in our effective tax rates are
primarily due to the amount and timing of various tax deductions and benefits.

Net Loss

Net loss for the first half of 2007 was $81,000 compared to $529,000 for the first half of fiscal 2006. The improved results were primarily due to the decrease in the
loss before taxes experienced in the first half of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year, partially offset by the decrease in the tax benefit in the first half of fiscal year 2007 compared to the same period last year.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased $1.2 million, or 3.4%,
to $33.6 million at April 30, 2007, from $34.8 million at October 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in inventories and a $1.1 million decrease in accounts receivable, net partially offset by a
$1.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. The inventory decrease was largely a result of efforts to optimize inventory levels and the timing of purchases of raw materials. Our new ERP system allows us to better plan inventory types and
quantities on hand by increasing visibility of inventory available for use in production and providing improved tools for production planning. Accounts receivable decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in net sales when comparing net sales
for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, totaling $11.1 million, to net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, totaling $12.6 million. Further detail regarding the increase in cash is provided in our discussion of Liquidity and
Capital Resources.

Total liabilities decreased $1.5 million, or 34.2%, to $2.9 million at April 30, 2007, from $4.4 million
at October 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a $991,000 decrease in note payable to bank, resulting from the repayment in the first half of fiscal year 2007 of outstanding borrowings on our bank line of credit, and a decrease of
$447,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including accrued compensation and payroll taxes), largely due to the timing of related payments when comparing the two periods.

Total shareholders equity at April 30, 2007 increased $324,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2007. The increase resulted from the impact of share-based compensation totaling $398,000, partially offset by
a net loss of $81,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital needs during the first half of fiscal 2007 have been to fund working capital requirements, repayment of the note payable to our bank, capital expenditures, and advances to a start-up connector company described further
herein. Our primary source of capital for these purposes has been existing cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operations. As of April 30, 2007, we had no outstanding balance under our bank lines of credit. As of October 31,
2006, we had an outstanding loan balance of $991,000 under one of our bank lines of credit.

Our cash totaled $1.9 million as of April 30, 2007, an
increase of $1.3 million, compared to $555,000 as of October 31, 2006. The increase in cash for the six months ended April 30, 2007 primarily resulted from net cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million, partially offset by
capital expenditures totaling $387,000, advances under a note receivable (described further herein) totaling $615,000, and the repayment of our outstanding borrowings under our bank line of credit totaling $991,000.

On April 30, 2007, we had working capital of $14.6 million compared to $14.4 million on October 31, 2006. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities as
of April 30, 2007, was 6.2 to 1, compared to 4.4 to 1 as of October 31, 2006. The increase in working capital when comparing the periods was primarily caused by the $1.3 million increase in cash, the $991,000 decrease in note payable, the
$447,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including accrued compensation and payroll taxes), partially offset by the $1.5 million decrease in inventories and the $1.1 million decrease in accounts receivable, net.

On March 26, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a plan to purchase and retire up to 300,100 shares of our common stock, or approximately 5% of the shares then
outstanding. We anticipate that the purchases will be made over a 12-month period. No shares had been repurchased as of April 30, 2007.

Net cash
provided by operating activities was $3.3 million in the first half of fiscal year 2007, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.0 million in the first half of fiscal year 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities during the
first half of fiscal year 2007 primarily resulted from certain adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities, including depreciation and amortization of $787,000 and share-based compensation expense of $398,000.
Additionally, the decrease in accounts receivable in the amount of $1.1 million and the decrease in inventories totaling $1.5 million further contributed to net cash provided by operating activities. All of the aforementioned factors positively
affecting cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by a net loss totaling $81,000 and the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including accrued compensation and payroll taxes) in the amount of $447,000. Net cash
used in operating activities during the first half of 2006 primarily resulted from a net loss of $529,000, an increase in inventories in the amount of $1.6 million and a decrease in accrued compensation and payroll taxes totaling $1.3 million,
partially offset by adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities, including depreciation and amortization of $624,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $753,000 and stock-based compensation
expense of $314,000.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.0 million in the first half of fiscal year 2007 compared to $1.7 million
in the first half of fiscal year 2006. Net cash used in investing activities during the first half of fiscal years 2007 and 2006 resulted primarily from purchases of property and equipment and advances made to a start-up connector company described
further herein.

On April 22, 2005, we agreed to extend a loan to a start-up connector company, Applied Optical Systems, Inc. (the
Borrower), specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of connectors and cable assemblies for certain niche markets. The Borrower offers complementary products to our product offering and is still in the development stage. As a
development stage company, the Borrower currently has limited revenues and assets and is incurring net losses. As of April 30, 2007, total assets of the Borrower, based on unaudited financial information, was equivalent to approximately 5.2% of
our total assets. Total revenue of the Borrower, based on unaudited financial information, was equivalent to approximately 4.7% and 6.9%, respectively, of our net sales for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2007.

This loan, and the related transactions described further herein, is part of a strategy designed to provide us with an option to expand our product line offering in
certain market niches in which we currently sell our fiber optic cable products and to preserve channels to market for our existing product line offering in those market niches over the longer term.

Through April 30, 2007, we had advanced a total of $3.0 million, net (including some accrued interest and accounts receivable from certain product sales) to the
Borrower. The note receivable, which matures July 31, 2008, is collateralized by all of the Borrowers tangible and intangible property and bears interest at six percent (6%) per annum. Two of the founders of the Borrower have also
personally guaranteed amounts up to two-thirds of the principal balance outstanding on the note receivable plus two-thirds of any accrued interest related to the note receivable. In connection with the loan, we were issued a warrant by the Borrower
which, as amended, gives us the right to purchase a fifty-six percent (56%) equity interest in the Borrower on a fully diluted, as converted basis, for a purchase price of $1,500,000. In addition, we were granted the right to purchase all other
outstanding equity of the Borrower at various times from 2009 through 2012, at a fixed multiple of trailing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), conditioned upon our exercise of the warrant or the Borrowers failure to repay the loan when
due. The note receivable is callable by us at any time. Our rights under the warrant terminate if the warrant is not exercised prior to the expiration date. Subsequent to April 30, 2007, we made additional advances to the Borrower totaling
$225,000.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $984,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2007 and resulted from the repayment of a note payable
to our bank under our line of credit in the amount of $991,000, partially offset by proceeds received from the exercise of warrants in the amount of $6,500. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $407,000 in the first half of fiscal 2006
and resulted from proceeds from a note payable to our bank under our line of credit and proceeds received from the exercise of warrants, partially offset by payments for financing costs associated with amending and restating our existing credit
facility.

On September 25, 2006, we closed on revolving credit facilities with Valley Bank. The credit facilities with Valley Bank provide a working
capital line of credit (the Working Capital Facility), a machinery and equipment line of credit (the Machinery and Equipment Facility) and a real estate term loan (the Real Estate Loan), which together replaced
our former credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association (Wachovia). The Working Capital Facility, the Machinery and Equipment Facility and the Real Estate Loan together provide us with an aggregate maximum of $13.5 million in
available credit, less any borrowings. As of April 30, 2007, we had approximately $12.4 million of unused and available credit, after considering borrowing base calculations.

The Working Capital Facility provides up to $5 million for our working capital needs and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%, which equates to a facility rate of 7.47% as of April 30, 2007. The Working Capital
Facility provides a lower interest rate option if we maintain specified depository limits with Valley Bank. We can borrow up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable under the Working Capital Facility. As of April 30, 2007, we had no
outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

##### Table of Contents

The Machinery and Equipment Facility provides up to $2 million for machinery and equipment purchases and also bears
interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%, which equates to a facility rate of 7.47% as of April 30, 2007. Both the Machinery and Equipment Facility and the Working Capital Facility are secured by our accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and
equipment and proceeds and are payable on demand with 60 days prior written notice, provided that we are not in default. If not sooner demanded, the Working Capital Facility and the Machinery and Equipment Facility expire on February 28, 2008.
As of April 30, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Machinery and Equipment Facility.

We may also borrow up to $6.5 million under the
terms of the Real Estate Loan. The advances under the Real Estate Loan may be made at any time within one year of closing. Furthermore, to the extent we have borrowings under the Real Estate Loan, principal and interest payments will be calculated
monthly, based on a 25 year amortization. The unpaid balance, if any, on any advances under the Real Estate Loan will be due October 1, 2011. Payments on the Real Estate Loan will be for interest only for the period from November 1, 2006
through October 1, 2007. Thereafter, through October 1, 2011 payments of both principal and interest will be due monthly. The Real Estate Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.50% for 5 years and is secured by a first deed of trust on
our real property. As of April 30, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Real Estate Loan.

Prior to September 25, 2006, we had a
revolving credit facility with Wachovia. The initial term of the Wachovia loan agreement expired in April 2005 and was automatically extended through April 2006 pursuant to the terms of the original agreement. Effective March 31, 2006, an
agreement was reached with Wachovia to amend and restate the terms of the financing, extending the Wachovia loan agreement until April 17, 2008. However, we terminated our credit facility with Wachovia early in conjunction with the closing of
our new credit facilities with Valley Bank. The Wachovia credit facility bore interest at one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum above the prime rate.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, our cash on hand and our existing credit facilities will be adequate to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

During fiscal year 2003, as part of a settlement agreement reached in September 2002, we issued 250,000 warrants to class members defined in a consolidated class action lawsuit by the claims administrator for the
class members in connection with shareholder litigation arising from actions of our former chief executive officer. The warrants have an exercise price per share of $4.88. The warrants are exercisable for five years and will expire October 24,
2007. We have registered the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

A prior distributor for us
filed for protection from its creditors under bankruptcy laws in January 2001. We recognized recoveries totaling $20,000 from the bankrupt estate of this prior distributor during the year ended October 31, 2006 and may recover additional
amounts in the future. Subsequent recoveries, if any, from the bankrupt estate of the distributor will be recognized when payment is received, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

From time to time, we are involved in various claims, legal actions and regulatory reviews arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Seasonality

Historically, net sales are relatively lower in the first half of each fiscal year and relatively higher in the second half of
each fiscal year, which we believe may be partially due to construction cycles and budgetary considerations of our customers. For example, an average of approximately 45% of our net sales occurred during the first half of the fiscal year and an
average of approximately 55%

##### Table of Contents

of our net sales occurred during the second half of the fiscal year for fiscal years 1996 through 2006, excluding fiscal years 2001 and 2002. Fiscal years
2001 and 2002 are excluded because we believe net sales for those years did not follow this pattern due to overall economic conditions in the industry.

We
believe our net sales have generally been impacted by seasonality factors where we typically expect net sales to be relatively lower in the first half of each fiscal year and relatively higher in the second half of each fiscal year. This pattern may
be substantially altered by the timing of larger projects or other economic factors impacting our industry or impacting the industries of our customers and end-users. As a result, while we believe seasonality may be a factor that impacts our
quarterly net sales results, we are not able to reliably predict net sales based on seasonality because these other factors can also substantially impact our net sales patterns during the year.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of April 30, 2007,
we have no contractual obligations and commitments that will significantly impact our future liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed financial statements and accompanying condensed
notes that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these condensed
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1 to the financial
statements filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2006 provides a summary of our significant accounting policies. The following are areas requiring significant judgments and estimates due to uncertainties as of the reporting date:
revenue recognition, trade accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, long-lived assets, and commitments and contingencies.

Application of the critical accounting policies discussed in the section that follows requires managements significant judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual
results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different results.

Revenue Recognition

Management views revenue recognition as a
critical accounting estimate since we must estimate an allowance for sales returns for the reporting period. This allowance reduces net sales for the period and is based on our analysis and judgment of historical trends, identified returns and the
potential for additional returns.

Trade Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management views trade accounts receivable and the related allowance for doubtful accounts as a critical accounting estimate since the allowance for doubtful accounts is
based on judgments and estimates concerning the likelihood that individual customers will pay the amounts included as receivable from them. In determining the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts to be recorded for individual customers, we
consider the age of the receivable, the financial stability of the customer, discussions that may have occurred with the customer and our judgment as to the overall collectibility of the receivable from that customer. In addition, we establish an
allowance for all other receivables for which no specific allowances are deemed necessary. This general allowance for doubtful



25



---

##### Table of Contents

accounts is based on a percentage of total trade accounts receivable with different percentages used based on different age categories of receivables. The
percentages used are based on our historical experience and our current judgment regarding the state of the economy and the industry.

Inventories

Management views the determination of the net realizable value of inventories as a critical accounting estimate since it is based on judgments and
estimates regarding the salability of individual items in inventory and an estimate of the ultimate selling prices for those items. Individual inventory items are reviewed and adjustments are made based on the age of the inventory and our judgment
as to the salability of that inventory in order for our inventories to be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Long-lived Assets

Management views the determination of the carrying value of long-lived assets as a critical accounting estimate since we must determine an estimated
economic useful life in order to properly depreciate our long-lived assets and because we must consider if the value of any of our long-lived assets have been impaired, requiring adjustment to the carrying value.

Economic useful life is the duration of time the asset is expected to be productively employed by us, which may be less than its physical life. Managements
assumptions on wear and tear, obsolescence, technological advances and other factors affect the determination of estimated economic useful life. The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine if it continues to be
appropriate in light of changes in business circumstances. For example, technological advances or excessive wear and tear may result in a shorter estimated useful life than originally anticipated. In such a case, we would depreciate the remaining
net book value of an asset over the new estimated remaining life, thereby increasing depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. We must also consider similar issues when determining whether or not an asset has been impaired to the extent
that we must recognize a loss on such impairment.

Commitments and Contingencies

Management views accounting for contingencies as a critical accounting estimate since loss contingencies arising from product warranties and defects, claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other
sources require judgment as to any probable liabilities incurred. For example, accrued product warranty costs recorded by us are based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims and costs as well as current information with respect
to warranty claims and costs. Actual results could differ from the expected results determined based on such estimates.

Future Accounting
Considerations

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Although we will continue to evaluate the application of
FIN 48, we do not currently believe adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior
accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS
No. 157.

##### Table of Contents

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, (SFAS 158) an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit
postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS 158 also requires measurement of the funded
status of a plan as of the date of the statement of financial position. SFAS 158 is effective for recognition of the funded status of the benefit plans for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 and is effective for the measurement date
provisions for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the Statement is not expected to have any impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity as we do not have a defined benefit pension plan or other
postretirement plans.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows entities to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Statement will be effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159.

As of June 8, 2007, there are no other new accounting
standards issued, but not yet adopted by us, which are expected to be applicable to our financial position, operating results or financial statement disclosures.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

There are a number of business risks and
uncertainties that may adversely affect our financial condition, our results of operations, our liquidity, the trading price of our common shares, and the prospects regarding any of the foregoingcollectively, our business and its prospects.
These risks and uncertainties could cause future results to differ from past performance or expected results, including results described in statements elsewhere in this report that constitute forward-looking statements under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The risks that we highlight below are NOT the only ones that we face. We discuss in this section some of the risk factors and uncertainties which we consider to be the most relevant to our specific
activities and that we believe, if they actually occurred, could materially and adversely affect our business and its prospects. In addition to the risks and uncertainties included below, other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, the additional risk factors included in Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsForward-Looking Information. Additionally, risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact our business and its prospects. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business
and its prospects.

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or may contain certain forward-looking statements,
within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words will, may, should, continue, believes, expects,
intends, anticipates, could, likely, probably, feel, estimates or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve
certain risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others, the risks and uncertainties identified below and the additional risk
factors included in Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsForward-Looking Information. We will sometimes set forth examples to further describe a risk factor or
otherwise elaborate on a point by using the word including. When we use the word including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in any of our other disclosures, we always mean including, but not limited to rather than
including all examples.

A decline in the demand for fiber optic cable generally or in certain applications or for tight buffered fiber optic cable
specifically or in certain applications, in the markets we target may cause our sales to fall.

Fiber optic cable, specifically
tight buffered fiber optic cable, accounts for almost all of our sales. As a result, any decline in the demand for fiber optic cable generally or tight buffered fiber optic cable specifically will likely adversely affect our business and its
prospects, including causing our sales to fall, causing our share price to decline and limiting our future sales prospects. We focus on producing tight buffered fiber optic cable that is used to connect optical networking equipment in short- to
moderate-distance applications, including the enterprise market, and to a lesser extent, the metropolitan and access markets. Our future growth is affected by the rate at which optical networking and related optical cabling are deployed in these
markets. The desire of organizations to deploy fiber optic cabling depends on such factors as end-user demand for the increased bandwidth made possible by optical networks, as well as a lack of suitable alternative technologies. Additionally, any
decline in the demand for fiber optic cable used in short- to moderate-distance applications, such as metropolitan, access and enterprise networks, will likely adversely affect our business and its prospects, including causing our sales to fall,
limiting our prospects for the future sales and causing a decline in our share price. If alternative fiber optic cable constructions, such as loose-tube fiber optic cable, become more accepted as alternatives to tight buffered fiber optic cable
construction in our target markets, then our business and its prospects could be adversely affected, including material decreases in our sales, adverse affects on our future prospects and potential, and significant declines in our share price.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Our ability to remain competitive in the fiber optic cable market is crucial to our continued success.

The market for fiber optic cables, including the short- to moderate-distance markets in which our products are concentrated, is highly competitive. We compete with large, integrated fiber optic cable manufacturers such as Corning Cabling
Systems, OFS, Alcatel and Draka, as well as with other large fiber optic cable manufacturers such as General Cable, Belden, AFL Telecommunications, Hitachi, Nexans (doing business as Berk-Tek), CommScope and others. Some of our competitors are more
established, benefit from greater market recognition and have much greater financial, research and development, production and marketing resources than we do. Competition could increase if new companies enter the market or if existing competitors
expand their product lines.

We are a microcap stock with little, if any, coverage by security analysts, and with limited institutional
following. Therefore, the price of our common shares is volatile and subject to significant fluctuations.

Optical Cable Corporation
has a relatively low market capitalization represented by the total number of common shares issued and outstanding multiplied by the price per common share. Often the capital stock of companies with such low market capitalizations are referred to as
microcap stocks. As a result of this low market capitalization, it is quite difficult for us to secure coverage by security analysts and to convince institutional investors to invest substantial amounts in our common shares.
Additionally, our low market capitalization makes it likely that the sale or purchase of even relatively small blocks of our common shares can result in significant fluctuations in the price of our common shares with or without any underlying change
in our financial performance. As a result, the price of our common stock is volatile and subject to significant fluctuations.

We believe our
quarterly results may tend to fluctuate due to many factors, including timing of key projects, changing levels of corporate and government spending, fluctuations in spending in certain specialty markets we target, seasonality, and manufacturing
yields and efficiencies. The price of our common shares will likely fall if our quarterly results are lower than the expectations of securities analysts, if any, or our shareholders.

We expect our sales and income to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In future quarters, our operating results may be below the expectations of securities
analysts, if any securities analysts are offering coverage of us, or our shareholders. If this occurs, the price of our common shares is likely to fall and you may lose all or part of your investment. A number of factors, many of which are discussed
in more detail in other risk factors, may cause variations in the results of our operations, including, but not limited to:



| |  |  | The proportion of our net sales made to distributors relative to other types of customers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The proportion of large to small orders;

| |  |  | Our product mix, including fluctuations in demand in our target and specialty markets;

A significant percentage of our expenses, including those relating to manufacturing, sales and marketing, and general and administrative functions, are
relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, if we experience delays in generating or recognizing revenue, our operating results would be disproportionately affected. You should not rely on our results for one quarter as any indication of our
future performance. We believe our results of operations may reflect some seasonality. Historically, our sales are lower in the first half of each fiscal year and higher in the second half of each fiscal year, which we believe may be partially due
to construction cycles and budgetary considerations of our customers.

If our supplier relationships are disrupted or if costs or availability of our
raw materials change, our operating results may suffer.

Our business and its prospects are affected by the cost and availability of
raw materials. We currently rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain of our raw materials, including optical fiber, aramid yarns, plastics and other raw materials. We do not have long-term agreements with all of these suppliers. In fact,
some of our suppliers of optical fiber are also major competitors in the market for fiber optic cable. For example, we may buy some of our optical fiber from a supplier that also offers fiber optic cables that compete with our fiber optic cables.
These raw materials are critical to our production of fiber optic cables. Our business and its prospects, including our financial condition, future prospects, and results of operations, could be adversely affected by any disruption in our supply of
raw materials or any increase in our costs resulting from our suppliers reducing the amount of optical fiber available to us, increasing their prices, lengthening the lead time for orders or otherwise impairing our ability to secure optical fiber,
aramid yarns, plastics or other raw materials on competitive terms.

Potential strategic alliances may not achieve their objectives.

We intend to explore strategic alliances designed to increase the use of our manufacturing capacity, to increase distribution of
our products, to secure supplies of raw materials, and to expand our product offerings. We may not be successful in developing these strategic alliances. Moreover, alliances that Optical Cable Corporation does develop may not achieve their strategic
objectives, and parties to our strategic alliances may not perform as contemplated.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

If a disaster struck our primary business facility, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed.

We believe that our success to date has been, and future results of operations will be, dependent in large part upon our ability to provide prompt and
efficient service to our customers. As a result, any disruption of our day-to-day operations could cause a significant decline in our sales, negatively impact our financial performance and cause a decline in our share price. Our manufacturing
operations, marketing, management information systems, customer service and distribution functions are housed in a single facility in Roanoke, Virginia. A fire, flood, earthquake, terrorist attack, act of war, military conflict, or any other
disaster affecting our facility could disable the functions performed at our Roanoke, Virginia facility. Any significant damage to this facility would have a material adverse effect on our business and its prospects, including our results of
operations and financial condition.
