Overview

Occam Networks, Inc. ("Occam," the "Company," "we" or "us") develops markets and supports innovative broadband access products
designed to enable telecom service providers to offer bundled voice, video and high speed internet, or Triple Play, services over both copper and fiber optic networks. The Company's core product line
is the Broadband Loop Carrier, or BLC, an integrated hardware and software platform that uses Internet Protocol, or IP, and Ethernet technologies to increase the capacity of local access networks,
enabling the delivery of advanced Triple
Play services. The Company also offers a family of Optical Network Terminals, or ONTs for fiber optic networks, remote terminal cabinets, and professional services.

We
market our products through a combination of direct and indirect channels. Our direct sales efforts are focused on the North American independent operating company, or IOC, segment of
the telecom service provider market. These are companies that never were a part of the original Bell System. Recently, we have expanded our sales activities to include the Europe, Middle East, and
Africa, Caribbean, Latin America, the Pacific Islands and certain other international locations, but sales outside North America continue to represent an insignificant portion of our business. As of
December 31, 2009, we shipped our BLC platform to over 350 telecommunications customers.

Industry Background



In recent years, the number of broadband subscribers has increased significantly on a worldwide basis. This growth has been driven, in
large part, by increasing demand for bandwidth intensive applications, such as music and video downloads, electronic commerce, telecommuting and online gaming. In addition, services are increasingly
being delivered over broadband networks using IP, the underlying communications technology of the Internet. For example, Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, services are now widely available to
consumers, and many telecom service providers have announced or initiated plans to offer Internet Protocol television, or IPTV, services to their subscribers. The rapid growth in broadband
subscribers, coupled with the growing amount and diversity of IP-based services, has strained the capacity of many traditional telecommunications networks. Capacity constraints are being
exacerbated as high-definition television, or HDTV, and other bandwidth-intensive services become more prevalent. We believe the rapid growth in IP-based communications traffic is
prompting many telecom service providers to modify their network architectures and substantially upgrade the capacity of their networks.

While telecom service providers historically faced little competition in the market for basic voice services, competition has increased
significantly in recent years. Deregulation efforts have generally allowed incumbent, competitive and long-distance telecom service providers to compete with one another. Most cable
operators now offer high-speed Internet access and VoIP as part of a Triple Play offering. Specialized service providers such as Vonage Holdings Corp. and eBay's Skype Limited have
introduced low-cost VoIP services, and many incumbent service providers have responded by offering their own VoIP services. With the widespread use of mobile telephones, some wireless
subscribers have elected to discontinue their traditional wired telephone service. For many telecom service providers, these trends have resulted in pricing pressure for basic voice services,
subscriber losses and a reduction in profit margins related to voice services. As consumers now have a greater variety of service providers to choose from, telecom service providers face challenges in
differentiating their offerings and retaining customers.



In response to increased competition and pricing pressure for standalone voice services, many telecom service providers are seeking to
offer Triple Play services, which provides them with the opportunity to increase revenue per subscriber, create flexible pricing plans and promotions, improve customer loyalty and offer the
convenience of a single bill, among other benefits. While traditional voice and data services leave little room for differentiation, and the prices of these services are decreasing steadily, video
represents an important source of spending by consumers and has therefore emerged as a critical Triple Play offering. Once largely the domain of broadcasters, cable operators and satellite providers,
video is increasingly viewed by telecom service providers as an essential element of their business plans. However, because traditional telecom networks were not designed to carry video traffic,
telecom service providers must substantially upgrade the capacity, quality and design of their networks in order to deliver IPTV and other broadband services.



Throughout the past decade, telecom service providers have invested considerable resources to upgrade the capacity of their core and
metro networks. Core networks connect cities over long distances, while metro networks connect telecom facilities within cities. However, the access network, which serves as the final connection to a
residence or business, represents a significant network capacity bottleneck. The access network was originally designed for low-speed voice traffic and is comprised largely of copper
telephone lines. In order to overcome the inherent limitations of the access network, service providers deployed first-generation
digital subscriber line, or DSL technology. The most prevalent form of this technology generally enables maximum downstream speeds of 1.5 megabits per second, which is far lower than the data
transmission rates offered by competing cable companies. These DSL downstream speeds are adequate for basic data applications such as web browsing and emailing, but are less viable for the concurrent
or standalone operation of more bandwidth intensive Triple Play services and applications such as HDTV and two-way video conferencing. More recently, enhanced variations of DSL technology
supporting greater throughput, including asymmetric digital subscriber line, or ADSL2Plus, and very high bitrate digital subscriber line, or VDSL2, have been standardized, and in the case of
ADSL2Plus, have been widely deployed. Enhanced DSL services support bandwidth intensive applications and create a more competitive alternative to cable services. Some service providers have begun
replacing portions of their copper access network with a fiber optic technology known as fiber-to-the-premise, or FTTP. Given the cost and effort of replacing
copper telephone lines with fiber optic cables, FTTP is typically deployed by most phone companies in phases over multiple years, depending on the number of lines being replaced or deployed.

Traditional telecom networks were designed to support low-capacity voice calls using complex voice switches and
circuit-switched transmission technology, in which a fixed amount of network capacity is reserved throughout the duration of a voice call, regardless of whether signals are being transmitted. While
traditional networks adequately support voice calls, they are inherently inefficient in handling large volumes of high-bandwidth communications. With the emergence of the Internet and the
growing demand for broadband services, telecom service providers have begun deploying new packet-based technologies, including IP, Ethernet and softswitching, to overcome the limitations of the
traditional, circuit-switched telephone network. IP-based networks handle the combination of voice, data and video traffic more efficiently by using bandwidth only when signals are being
transmitted. Ethernet is the most widely adopted networking technology for business and home networks, and is being increasingly utilized in telecom networks because of its low cost, simplicity and
pervasiveness. Softswitching refers to a network architecture in which the key functions of traditional voice switches are separated and performed by various VoIP gateways and call servers built upon
open standards.

Networks
employing packet-based technologies are generally simpler, more flexible and cheaper to construct and maintain than traditional circuit-switched voice networks. However, the
process of transitioning traditional networks to packet-based technologies is lengthy and costly. Most telecom service providers are therefore implementing packet-based technologies gradually and are
seeking products that can coexist in circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. Packet-based technologies were first used in core networks to more cost-effectively process
long-distance voice and Internet traffic, and were more recently adopted in many metro
networks. The next step in this evolution, which has already begun, is the deployment of packet-based technologies such as Ethernet and IP, in the access portion of the network.



Telecom service providers are seeking to upgrade their access networks to increase capacity, support IP-based services,
such as VoIP and IPTV and capitalize on the advantages of packet-based technologies. However, most existing solutions for upgrading access networks are generally insufficient, and
include:



We
believe telecom service providers are seeking a new class of innovative broadband access products that can address the access network bottleneck, deliver the advantages of
packet-based technologies and provide simultaneous support for traditional and newer IP-based services. This new class of product must provide a compelling total cost of ownership, be
simple to install and manage and meet the stringent quality and performance standards of telecom service providers.

The Occam Networks Solution

We develop, market and support innovative broadband access products designed to allow telecom service providers to increase the
capacity of local access networks and deliver Triple Play services. Our primary product, the Broadband Loop Carrier, or BLC, is an advanced broadband access platform that supports a range of
IP-based and traditional services in a single platform. Our BLC platform can be deployed in either a local telecom central office, or closer to the end-user in a remote
terminal. We also provide a range of ancillary products as part of our total solution, including optical network terminals and remote terminal cabinets. We believe our products enable service
providers to deliver new revenue-generating services while minimizing capital expenditures and operating costs.

Our
solution offers the following key benefits:

Supports multiple services.Our products support a range of IP-based services, including broadband Internet access, VoIP and IPTV, in
addition to traditional circuit-switched voice services. The ability to offer bundled Triple Play services allows telecom service providers to increase average revenue per subscriber, increase
customer retention and differentiate themselves versus their competitors. In particular, our support for IPTV enables our customers to address competitive threats posed by cable operators and other
competitors.

Addresses the access network bottleneck.We have designed our products to address capacity constraints in the local access network. Our
platform
employs advanced DSL technologies, such as ADSL2Plus, to enable access speeds to the subscriber in excess of 20 megabits per second. In addition, we provide a Point-to-Point
Gigabit Ethernet fiber-to-the-premise, or FTTP, blade for our BLC product, enabling dedicated access speeds to the subscriber of up to 1,000 megabits per second. In
July of 2008, we released our Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) product family. Our customers are now able to offer copper, point-to-point (GigE) and
point-to-multipoint (PON) services from the same BLC. By significantly increasing the capacity of local access networks, our customers are able to offer bandwidth-intensive
services such as HDTV, on-line gaming and two-way video conferencing.

Employs packet-based technologies.Our BLC platform features an innovative design that is built upon packet-based technologies,
including IP,
Ethernet and softswitching. Our IP-based product efficiently utilizes network capacity and natively supports VoIP, IPTV and other IP-based services. Because we utilize Ethernet
in the design of our products, our customers benefit from the simplicity and economies of scale related to this pervasive networking technology. Our BLC platform also features an integrated media
gateway, which allows our customers to more easily and cost-effectively adopt softswitches within their access networks.

Integrated and flexible platform.Our BLC platform performs many of the functions that have traditionally been derived from standalone
products
dedicated to circuit-switched voice, VoIP, DSL access, fiber optic access, DSL testing and Ethernet switching. We believe the integration of our platform delivers substantial performance advantages
while helping our customers to conserve costs, space and power, and simplify their networks by minimizing the number of discrete components. Our platform also features a modular design, allowing our
customers to purchase our product with minimal initial investment, and add capacity and features incrementally as their requirements grow. The BLC platform is economical for low-capacity
sites, but can scale to support tens of thousands of telephone subscribers from a single site in the network. With the recent introduction of our GPON family of products, and our shipping of
point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet FTTP products, our customers have the flexibility to adopt either copper or fiber optic access technologies from the same system.

Reliable and simple to install and operate.Our products are designed to meet the most stringent performance and reliability standards
of telecom
service providers. Our field-proven BLC platform contains redundancy features to maximize network uptime and has been designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Our products are simple to
install and allow for the rapid introduction of

new
services. We offer sophisticated network management tools that allow our customers to monitor and optimize the quality of their networks, which is critical when deploying services that are
particularly sensitive to network quality, such as VoIP and IPTV.

Strategy

Our objective is to become the leading provider of innovative broadband access products to telecom service providers. Key elements of
our strategy include the following:

Extend technology leadership position.Our management team and technical personnel possess a unique combination of expertise in both
telecom and data
networking technologies. We believe our technical leadership differentiates us from our competitors and has been key to our success in attracting customers to date. We will continue to leverage our
technical expertise and invest in research and development to design, engineer and sell innovative products that address our customers' needs.

Continue to enhance and extend our product line.We will continue to enhance our BLC platform to support new technologies and features
to address the
evolving requirements of our customers. For example, we have enhanced our BLC platform with support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport. We broadened our product line with the introduction of
our GPON blade and a line of GPON optical network terminals, or ONTs, providing our customers with a more complete FTTP solution. During the past year we developed and announced the
availability of VDSL2 and a doubling of density of our Gigabit Ethernet FTTP blade, as well as several new ONT models. We also intend to continue to reduce the cost of our new and existing products to
bring increased value to our customers.

Focus initially on independent operating companies.We currently focus our direct sales and marketing efforts primarily on North
American independent
operating companies, or IOCs, because, in our experience, they quickly adopt new technologies and are more willing to purchase products from focused suppliers like us. In addition, a number of
favorable regulatory, demographic, financial and competitive factors make IOCs attractive target customers for us. IOCs benefit from government funding for telecom projects aimed at increasing
broadband access to rural regions. Some of the areas IOCs serve are experiencing population growth as residents leave cities and suburbs for less populated surrounding areas. IOCs are upgrading their
local access networks to support population growth and demand for advanced services by deploying advanced copper and fiber-optic broadband access products such as ours. In addition, IOCs tend to be
financially stable with excellent credit and payment characteristics.

Expand customer focus by partnering with market leaders.While we expect to continue concentrating our direct sales efforts on IOCs, we
plan to
prudently expand our target customer base to include larger
telecom service providers in the U.S. and internationally. To assist in these efforts, we will continue to develop distribution relationships with third parties that we believe have strong market
positions and customer relationships. We believe this strategy allows us to expand our addressable market while focusing resources on product development and our other core strengths.

Continue to prioritize customer satisfaction.We seek to consistently provide our customers with high levels of support and service
throughout the
sales cycle and after installation of our products. We believe that our commitment to service and support has been an important contributing factor to our success to date. We continue to expand our
customer support and service capabilities to keep pace with the growth in our customer base, and will continue to make customer satisfaction a top priority for our company.

environmental
conditions. We source these cabinets from third parties who integrate our BLCs with a variety of accessory devices into the cabinets. We offer our customers versions for low-, medium- and
high-density deployments in a variety of geographical areas. Our cabinets are environmentally controlled, and we believe they deliver reliable protection with a high degree of deployment
flexibility.



We currently have under development products, features and functions that we believe will further enhance our product family. These
development activities are generally focused on the following areas:



Technology

We have a set of differentiated hardware and software technology elements and skills that we apply to the development of our products.
We have recruited a technical staff that possesses a unique combination of telecom and data networking expertise, which we believe provides a critical advantage in the design of our products. Our
technical staff is responsible for the introduction of several key developments, including Point-to-Point Gigabit Ethernet FTTP, 10 Gigabit transport, Ethernet Protection
Switching, Emergency Standalone service, and IP Security Management.

In
October 2007, we purchased certain assets of Terawave Communications, Inc., including its gigabit passive optical networking, or GPON, technology. We believe this
acquisition, along with the subsequent hiring of certain former Terawave technical personnel, augmented our skills with knowledge of GPON and other standards associated with its development and
eventual deployment.

Key
components of our technology and expertise include:

IP/Ethernet architecture.Our system architecture is based upon IP and Ethernet technologies. We selected this design because we
believe that IP and
Ethernet will account for a growing portion of communications traffic, and that telecom service providers will increasingly adopt IP and Ethernet technologies in local access networks. Because our
platform processes IP and Ethernet traffic natively, we believe our platform is more efficient, scalable and cost-effective than competing products based on

legacy
technologies. We believe that our IP/Ethernet-based design will allow for continued cost-reductions due the significant economies of scale associated with these pervasive
technologies.

Telecom expertise.Transitioning telecom networks to IP will be a lengthy process, and telecom service providers will continue to
deliver
circuit-switched voice services for the foreseeable future. For this reason, we have designed our products to support a range of legacy switching, signaling and transport protocols and have recruited
engineering personnel with expertise in these areas. In order to help telecom service providers maintain the reliability of their networks as they transition to IP, we have designed our products with
key resiliency features, including Emergency Standalone, clustering and Ethernet Protection Switching.

Data networking expertise.Our products are designed for the secure and reliable delivery of critical services over IP networks. Our
engineering
staff has expertise in the areas of switching, routing, native IP security management and VoIP signaling protocols such as SIP and MGCP. To assist in the deployment of broadband Internet services, we
have designed our products with integrated subscriber management, automated provisioning and policy enforcement tools.

Video delivery expertise.Delivering video services over telecom access networks is challenging because these networks were not
designed to carry
bandwidth-intensive traffic, and video is more sensitive to disruption than other services, such as Internet access. We have designed our platform to address these challenges and assist our customers
in the rapid delivery of IPTV services. For example, our BLC platform provides sufficient capacity to support multiple channels of HDTV and provides integrated video diagnostic tools for proactive
video service quality management. We also believe our customers benefit from the experience we have gained in a multitude of IPTV deployments.

Transport and access interfaces.Our products interface with a wide variety of communications networks. We have applied our diverse
expertise in
access and transport interfaces to design a family of blades, providing our customers with significant flexibility in the deployment of our products. Specific interface technologies supported by our
platform include: Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, GPON, ADSL2plus, DS1 and standard POTS telephone service.

Network management.Our network provisioning and management system, OccamView, enables our customers to monitor the status of their
network, services
and equipment through a web-based graphical user interface. OccamView interfaces with commonly used telecom network management systems and features a variety of tools to facilitate service
provisioning, activation, monitoring and access to service profiles.

Customers

For the year ended December 31, 2009, Goldfield Telecom, a value-added reseller and network operator, accounted for 13% of our
revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Goldfield Telecom, and Rural Telephone Services, accounted for 11% and 10% of our revenue, respectively.

To
date, we have primarily focused our sales and marketing efforts on IOCs. We believe there are more than 1,100 IOCs in North America. These companies vary in size ranging from small,
rural companies serving limited geographic areas with a limited number of lines to large independent providers serving multiple states. We have chosen to focus on IOCs because of the following
favorable characteristics:

Table of Contents



We
also believe there are significant opportunities to sell our products to large telecom service providers, including the national local exchange carriers, competitive local exchange
carriers and international network and service providers.

Sales and Marketing

We have implemented a two-pronged sales strategy composed of the following elements:



Our
marketing efforts are designed to create brand awareness with these customers and to demonstrate our technological leadership and cost advantages in the broadband access equipment
market. We educate potential customers about our products and the benefits of our solutions through industry publications and trade shows. We also conduct education programs to describe our products
and the benefits of our solutions for senior management of engineering design firms who design networks for IOCs.

An
important element in our marketing strategy is the development of relationships with companies who have an established presence in our target market segments. We have developed the
Occam Packet Access Network Alliance, whereby independent companies work with us to define broader solutions, perform interoperability tests, develop joint-business cases and provide cooperative

Technical Service and Customer Support

Our technical service and customer support organization is responsible for customer training, post-sales technical support
and maintenance. We have established a technical assistance center and a test and interoperability lab, which allows us to provide effective and timely customer support 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. We work with various third-party engineering, furnishing and installation companies to assist our customers with the design engineering, staging, installation and initial activation of
our products. We also employ a staff of interoperability and test engineers to ensure that our products are interoperable with various standards-based network elements including voice gateways,
softswitches, DSLAMs, Ethernet switches, DSL modems, optical network terminals, integrated access devices and residential gateways.

Our
equipment is typically implemented as a part of the service provider's local access network, and is sometimes combined with additional work by the service provider to update the
copper wire or to install new fiber optic cable. As a result, a large percentage of the work is done in the late spring, summer and early fall in portions of the country that experience colder
weather, including snow and ice. As a result, there can be seasonality to Occam shipments biased towards these seasons.

Research and Development

We have a team of engineers dedicated to conducting research and development in specific technology areas that are strategic to our
business. Our research and development team has expertise covering a range of telecom and data networking technologies, including digital loop carrier, voice signaling, call control, IP and Ethernet
networking, DSL, optical networking and network management.

We
expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development. Research and development expenses, including amortization of stock-based compensation, were
approximately $16.1 million, $19.0 million and $13.3 million during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our primary research and
development center is based in Santa Barbara, California. We have additional development centers in Fremont and Simi Valley, California.

Patents and Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual
provisions to protect our proprietary rights with respect to our technology and proprietary information. We have been issued 27 patents, we also have several additional patent applications pending and
we intend to file more patent applications. Our issued patents expire over the next 10 to 15 years. Our patent strategy is designed to protect corporate technology assets, provide access to
additional technology through cross licensing opportunities and create opportunities for additional revenue through technology licensing. We cannot provide any assurance that any patents will be
issued from pending applications or that any issued patents will adequately protect our intellectual property.

While
we rely on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws to protect our technology, we also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our
personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements and product reliability are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. We selectively license
technologies from third parties when necessary or useful.

We
maintain a program to identify and obtain patent protection for our inventions. It is possible that we will not receive patents for every application we file. Furthermore, our issued
patents may not adequately protect our technology from infringement or prevent others from claiming that our products infringe the patents of those third parties. Our failure to protect our
intellectual property could materially harm our business. In addition, our competitors may independently develop similar or

superior
technology, duplicate our products, or design around our patents. It is possible that litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our
trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially harm our
business.

We
may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of other parties' proprietary rights. Infringement or other claims could be asserted or prosecuted against us in the
future, and it is possible that past or future assertions or prosecutions could harm our business. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly
litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, cause delays in the development and release of our products, or require us to develop non-infringing technology or enter
into royalty or licensing arrangements. Such royalty or licensing arrangements, if required, may require us to license back our technology or may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
For these reasons, infringement claims could materially harm our business.

Manufacturing

We outsource significant portions of our manufacturing operation to third parties and have entered into a manufacturing outsourcing
contract with AsteelFlash Group (formerly Flash Electronics), located in Fremont, California, for the manufacture of our BLC 6000 blade products, as well as our ONT products. This agreement provides
for material procurement, board level assembly, testing, purchase commitments and quality control by the manufacturer, and delivery to our end customers. Our products are manufactured in the United
States, China and Mexico. We design, specify and monitor all applicable testing in order to meet our internal and customer quality standards. Occam is ISO certified. ISO is a series of standards
agreed to by the International Organization for Standardization covering various aspects of design, development, production of equipment and distribution. We have several single or limited source
suppliers. Although our products could be redesigned to avoid using any sole source supplier, it would be expensive and time consuming to make such a change.

Competition

Competition in our market is intense and we expect competition to increase. The market for broadband access equipment is dominated
primarily by large suppliers such as Alcatel-Lucent SA, Motorola, Tellabs and ADTRAN Inc. While these suppliers focus primarily on large service providers, they have competed, and may
increasingly compete, in the IOC market segment. In addition, a number of companies, including Calix,Inc., have developed, or are developing, products that compete with ours, including within our core
IOC segment.

Our
ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including:



Although
we believe we compete favorably on the basis of product quality and performance, many of our existing and potential competitors are larger than we are with longer operating
histories, and have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources; and a larger installed base

12

Table of Contents

of
customers than we do. In addition, many of our competitors have broader product lines than we do, so they can offer bundled products, which may appeal to certain customers.

As
the market for our products evolves, winning customers early in the growth of this market is critical to our ability to expand our business and increase sales. Service providers are
typically reluctant to switch equipment suppliers once a particular supplier's product has been installed due to the time and cost associated with such replacements. As a result, competition among
equipment suppliers to secure initial contracts with key potential customers is particularly intense and will continue to place pressure on product pricing. If we are forced to reduce prices in order
to secure customers, we may be unable to sustain gross margins at desired levels or maintain profitability.

Governmental Regulation

The markets for our products are characterized by a significant number of laws, regulations and standards, both domestic and
international, some of which are evolving as new technologies are deployed. Our products, or the deployment of our products, are required to comply with these laws, regulations and standards,
including those promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and counterpart foreign agencies. Subject to certain statutory
parameters, we are required to make available to our customers, on a reasonably timely basis and at a reasonable charge, such features or modifications as are necessary to permit our customers to meet
those capability requirements. In some cases, we are required to obtain certifications or authorizations before our products can be introduced, marketed or sold. While we believe that our products
comply with all current applicable governmental laws, regulations and standards, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to design our products to comply with all necessary requirements in
the U.S in the future. Accordingly, any of these laws, regulations and standards may directly affect our ability to market or sell our products.

In
addition, the Federal Communications Commission and state public utility commissions regulate our customers, including the rates that our customers may charge for telecommunications
services. In particular, our IOC customers, but also others including regional Bell operating companies and competitive local exchange carriers, receive substantial revenue from intercarrier
compensation (including interstate and intrastate access charges) and federal and state universal service subsidies. In 2001, the FCC initiated a rulemaking proceeding to seek comment as to whether
and how the FCC should change its rules governing intercarrier compensation. Beginning in late 2000 and continuing into 2004, the telecom industry experienced a severe downturn, and many telecom
service providers filed for bankruptcy. Those companies that survived the downturn substantially reduced their investments in new equipment. In addition, uncertain and volatile capital markets
depressed the market values of telecom service providers and restricted their access to capital, resulting in delays or cancellations of certain projects. More recently, we believe capital
expenditures among IOCs have been adversely affected as our customers consider their investment and capital expenditure decisions in light of the industry transition from copper wire to fiber. Because
many of our customers are IOCs, their revenues are particularly dependent upon intercarrier payments (primarily interstate and intrastate access charges) and federal and state universal service
subsidies. The FCC and some states are considering changes to both intercarrier payments and universal service subsidies, and such changes could reduce IOC revenues. Furthermore, many IOCs use
government supported loan programs or grants to finance capital spending. Changes to those programs, such as the United States Department of Agriculture's RUS loan program, could reduce the ability of
IOCs to access capital. The recent turmoil in the U.S. lending markets and current uncertainty in global economic conditions has had an impact on the overall U.S. economy and the spending patterns of
our customers and prospects. Any decision by telecom service providers to reduce capital expenditures, whether caused by the economic downturn, changes in government regulations and subsidies, or
other reasons, would have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore
FCC regulatory policies that affect the availability of broadband access services may impede the penetration of our customers in their respective markets, affecting the
prices that our customers are able to charge, or otherwise affecting the ability of our customers to market their services and grow their business. For example, FCC regulations addressing
interconnection of competing networks, collocation, unbundling of network elements and line sharing impact our potential regional Bell operating company, IOC and competitive local exchange provider
customers.

Legislation
is also currently before the United States Congress that could affect the demand for our products. Various proposals before the United States Congress would alter the
regulatory regime for franchising multichannel video providers, the regulatory status and obligations of VoIP, broadband video and broadband data providers, and the extent to which broadband Internet
access providers are subject to non-discrimination or other duties with respect to applications or service provided over broadband networks. Some of these issues are also being considered
by state legislatures in various forms.

State
regulation of telecommunications networks and service providers may also affect the regulatory environment of our market. As discussed above, states generally regulate the rates
for intrastate telecommunications services, particularly those offered by incumbent local exchange carriers such as the Regional Bell Operating Companies, or RBOCs, and IOCs, and some states provide
state universal service subsidies to our customers. State regulators also, for example, typically settle disputes for competitive access to some incumbent local exchange carrier network elements or
collocation in incumbent local exchange carrier offices, which competitive carriers use to offer various services. State regulators may also regulate and arbitrate disputes concerning interconnection
of networks of incumbent local exchange carriers and competitive carriers. To the extent that our customers are adversely affected by these changes in the regulatory environment, our business,
operating results, and financial condition may be harmed.

In
addition to federal and state telecommunications regulations, an increasing number of other domestic laws and regulations are being adopted to specifically address broadband and
telecommunications issues such as liability for information retrieved from or transmitted over the Internet, online content regulation, user privacy, taxation, consumer protection, security of data
and access by law enforcement, as well as intellectual property ownership, obscenity and libel. For instance, the Federal Trade Commission has recommended that Congress enact legislation to ensure
adequate protection of online privacy and federal online privacy legislation is currently pending in Congress. The adoption of this or other restrictive legislation could increase the costs of
communicating over the Internet or decrease the acceptance of the Internet as a commercial and advertising medium, thus dampening the growth of the Internet. Because our customers use our products to
facilitate both commercial and personal uses of the Internet, our business could be harmed if the growth of the Internet were adversely affected by such regulations or standards.

Countries
in the European Union, or EU, have also adopted laws relating to the provision of Internet services, the use of the Internet, and Internet-related applications. For example, in
the United Kingdom, an Internet service provider, or ISP, may be liable for defamatory material posted on its sites. In Germany, an ISP may be liable for failing to block access to content that is
illegal in the country. In addition, the EU has adopted a data protection directive to address privacy issues, impacting the use and transfer of personal data within and outside the EU. The
application of this directive within the EU and with respect to U.S. companies that may handle personal data from the EU is unsettled. Similarly, countries in Europe restrict the use of encryption
technology to varying degrees, making the provision of such technology unclear. Other laws relating to Internet usage are also being considered in the EU.

The
applicability of laws, regulations and standards affecting the voice telephony, broadband telecommunications and data industry in which we and our customers operate is continuing to
develop,

14

Table of Contents

both
domestically and internationally. We cannot predict the exact impact that current and future laws, regulations and standards may have on us or our customers. These laws, regulations and standards
may directly impact our products and result in a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, should our customers be adversely impacted by
such regulation, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected as well.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we employed 186 full-time employees in the United States and 3 full-time
employees in Canada. Of our total number of employees, 61 were in engineering, 50 were in sales, marketing and customer service, 42 were in finance, IT and administration and 43 were in operations and
customer support. None of our employees is represented by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with employees to be good.

Facilities

We have lease agreements related to the following properties:



We
believe that our facilities adequately meet our current requirements for the foreseeable future and that we will be able to secure additional facilities as needed on commercially
acceptable terms.

Backlog

Our backlog primarily consists of purchase orders from customers for products to be delivered within the next several quarters. Our
backlog as of December 31, 2009 was approximately $24.3 million. Due in part to factors such as the timing of product release dates, customer purchase orders, product availability,
allowing customers to delay scheduled delivery dates without penalty, allowing customers to cancel orders within negotiated time frames without significant penalty, and other factors that may
adversely affect or delay our ability to recognize revenue under applicable revenue recognition rules, our backlog may not be indicative of future revenue during any subsequent quarter.

Geographic Information

During our last three years, substantially all of our revenue was generated within North America, and all of our long-lived
assets are located within the United States.

Risks Related to Current Economic Environment and Our Future Revenues

Our business is substantially dependent on the capital spending patterns of telecom operators and has recently been adversely affected by reductions and delays in capital
spending by our customers, primarily due to the economic recession. Any continued reductions in spending or delays in customer orders in response to macroeconomic conditions, availability of funding
under government economic stimulus programs, or otherwise, would adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. We cannot predict the timing or impact, if any, of
government economic stimulus programs on capital spending by telecom operators.

Demand for our products depends on the magnitude and timing of capital spending by telecom service providers as they construct, expand
and upgrade their networks. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we identified a weakening in new order activity that continued throughout 2009. We believe this weakening relates to reductions in capital
expenditures and capital equipment investment budgets resulting from the worldwide financial crisis and economic downturn. In addition, we believe that many of our customers, particularly those that
participate in government funding initiatives such as the United States Department of Agriculture's RUS program, may be delaying investment and purchase activity pending their analysis of the
availability of funding under recently announced government economic stimulus programs. We cannot accurately predict the timing or the extent of financial impact, if any, that government economic
stimulus programs may have on our business. In addition, these programs may not result in a net increase in capital spending activity if telecom operators substitute spending under government stimulus
programs for capital spending they would otherwise have made or if private capital spending decreases by more than the incremental increase attributable to government programs. Continued reductions,
delays, or cancellations in order activity by our customers would be expected to adversely affect our future revenues by reducing the revenue we recognize in any quarter from orders booked and shipped
in that quarter and by reducing the amount of deferred revenues that may become recognizable in future periods upon satisfaction of revenue recognition criteria.

In
addition to the impact of macroeconomic factors, we believe capital expenditures among IOCs have also been adversely affected as our customers consider their investment and capital
expenditure decisions in light of the industry transition from copper wire to fiber.

Other
factors affecting the capital spending patterns of telecom service providers include the following:



Changes
in government funding programs can also affect capital expenditures by IOCs. Because many of our customers are IOCs, their revenues are particularly dependent upon intercarrier
payments (primarily interstate and intrastate access charges) and federal and state universal service subsidies. The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and some states are considering changes
to both intercarrier payments and universal service subsidies, and such changes could reduce IOC revenues, which would be expected to have an adverse impact on capital spending budgets. Furthermore,
many IOCs use government supported loan programs or grants to finance capital spending. Changes to those programs, such as the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service loan program, could
reduce the ability of IOCs to access capital. Any decision by telecom service providers to reduce capital expenditures, whether caused by the economic downturn, changes in government regulations and
subsidies, or other reasons, would have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Our focus on independent telephone operating companies limits our sales volume with individual customers and makes our future operating results difficult to predict.

We currently focus our sales efforts on the independent telephone operating companies, or IOCs, in North America. These customers
generally operate relatively small networks with limited capital expenditure budgets. Accordingly, we believe the total potential sales volume for our products at any individual IOC is limited, and we
must identify and sell products to new IOC customers each quarter to continue to increase our sales. In addition, the spending patterns of many IOCs are characterized by small and sporadic purchases.
Moreover, because our sales to IOCs are predominantly based on purchase orders rather than long-term contracts, our customers may stop purchasing equipment from us with little advance
notice. As a result, we have limited backlog, our future operating results are difficult to predict and we will likely continue to have limited visibility into future operating results.

We have had limited experience selling to larger telecommunication companies, and our ability to recognize revenue, if any, from contracts with these companies may be
difficult to predict. In addition, FairPoint Communications, our only Tier-2 customer, recently filed for bankruptcy protection.

In early 2008, we announced that we had been selected as the lead access equipment provider for a substantial broadband upgrade by
FairPoint Communications, Inc. in its network in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Fairpoint acquired these networks through its acquisition of certain assets of Verizon
Communications, Inc. FairPoint represented our first customer who is considered Tier 2 based

17

Table of Contents

on
the number of telephone lines serviced. We have limited experience selling or servicing Tier 2 customers, and our ability to recognize substantial revenue from the FairPoint relationship or
any other relationships we may establish with Tier 2 customers will depend on several factors, including, among others, the timing of orders and the terms and conditions of the orders, which
can affect our ability to satisfy revenue recognition criteria. We cannot currently predict with any accuracy the timing of orders from FairPoint, and any delays or termination of FairPoint's
anticipated upgrade of its northern New England network could have a material adverse effect on our future revenues and operating results. FairPoint Communications has publicly reported certain
financial difficulties that it has encountered related to the Northern New England network.

On
October 26, 2009, FairPoint announced that it had filed a bankruptcy petition under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. According to the documents filed
with the bankruptcy court, FairPoint's plan is to restructure its debt and continue day to day operations under court supervision. As of December 31, 2009, we had an outstanding receivable
balance from FairPoint of approximately $2.0 million. Of this amount, $1.7 million related to transactions that occurred before FairPoint filed its bankruptcy petition, including
$1.4 million which was invoiced within 45 days of the bankruptcy petition filing and is covered by a "reclamation claim" that we filed in November 2009. We currently cannot predict the
extent to which these receivables may be paid. We have deferred approximately $1.7 million of revenue and related cost of revenue as of December 31, 2009, for which cash has not been
collected.

We
cannot assure that the impact of FairPoint's bankruptcy will not have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations including the timing and amount of orders
we may receive from FairPoint as well as the timing and amount of any revenue we might recognize related to such orders. In addition, debtors-in-possession or bankruptcy
trustees could seek to recover payments made to us in the 90 day period prior to the bankruptcy filing on the grounds that these payments constituted "preferences" under applicable bankruptcy
law. We believe we would have a complete defense to any such claim in that payments to us have been made in the ordinary course of business in exchange for newly purchased equipment. However, any
litigation against us relating to a preference claim would result in our incurring incremental legal expenses and, if successful, would have an adverse impact on our cash and cash equivalents.

Fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results may adversely affect our business and prospects.

A number of factors, many of which are outside our control, may cause or contribute to significant fluctuations in our quarterly and
annual operating results. These fluctuations may make financial planning and forecasting more difficult. In addition, these fluctuations may result in unanticipated decreases in our available cash,
which could limit our growth and delay implementation of our expansion plans. Factors that may cause or contribute to fluctuations in our operating results include:



18

Table of Contents



As
a consequence, operating results for a particular future period are difficult to predict and prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in the future. Any
of the foregoing factors may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations.

We have a history of losses and negative cash flow, and we may not be able to generate positive operating income and cash flows in the future to support the expansion of our
operations.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. As of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of
$135.5 million. We incurred substantial losses in
2009. We may continue to incur losses in 2010. We cannot assure you that we will not continue to incur losses or experience negative cash flow in the future. We have only generated operating income in
the quarters ended December 25, 2005, September 24, 2006, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2008. Our inability to generate positive operating income and cash flow would
materially and adversely affect our liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

A
significant portion of our expenses is fixed, and we expect to continue to incur significant expenses for research and development, sales and marketing, customer support, and general
and administrative functions. Given the rate of growth in our customer base, our limited operating history and the intense competitive pressures we face, we may be unable to adequately control our
operating costs. In order to achieve and maintain profitability, we must increase our sales while maintaining control over our expense levels.

Risks Related to Internal Controls

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis could be impaired, which would
adversely affect our consolidated operating results, our ability to operate our business and our stock price.

In connection with the 2007 audit committee review of our revenue recognition practices and our resulting financial restatement, we
determined that we did not have adequate internal financial and accounting controls to produce accurate and timely financial statements. Among weaknesses and deficiencies identified in our review, we
determined that we had a material weakness with respect to revenue recognition. The material weakness continued to exist at December 31, 2008. Since the restatement was completed in October
2007, we have implemented new processes and procedures to improve our internal controls and have expanded our finance and accounting staff. We believe that these actions have remediated the identified
weaknesses and deficiencies, including the material weakness. As of December 31, 2009, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that our internal controls over
financial reporting were effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

19

Table of Contents

Ensuring
that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and
time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. Our management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company
will have been detected. As discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for our 2009 fiscal quarters, our audit committee
and management, together with our current and former independent registered public accounting firms, have identified numerous control deficiencies in the past and may identify additional deficiencies
in the future. Failure on our part to have effective internal financial and accounting controls could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, operating results, and financial condition, and could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

We
were initially required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 in connection with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our year ended
December 31, 2007. We have expended significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. We cannot be
certain that the actions we have taken and are taking to improve our internal controls over financial reporting will be sufficient to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in
subsequent reporting periods or that we will be able to implement our planned processes and procedures in a timely manner. In addition, we may be unable to produce accurate financial statements on a
timely basis. Any of the foregoing could cause investors to lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, which could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline and make it more difficult for us to finance our operations and growth.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Because our markets are highly competitive and dominated by large, well-financed participants, we may be unable to compete effectively.

Competition in our market is intense, and we expect competition to increase. The market for broadband access equipment is dominated
primarily by large, established
suppliers such as Alcatel Lucent SA, Motorola, Tellabs and ADTRAN Inc. While these suppliers focus primarily on large service providers, they have competed, and may increasingly compete,
in the IOC market segment. In addition, a number of companies, including Calix, Inc., have developed, or are developing, products that compete with ours, including within our core IOC segment.

Our
ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including:



20

---





Table of Contents



Many
of our existing and potential competitors are larger than we are with longer operating histories, and have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources;
significantly greater name recognition; and a larger installed base of customers than we do. Unlike many of our competitors, we do not provide equipment financing to potential customers. In addition,
many of our competitors have broader product lines than we do, so they can offer bundled products, which may appeal to certain customers.

Because
the products that we and our competitors sell require a substantial investment of time and funds to install, customers are typically reluctant to switch equipment suppliers once
a particular supplier's product has been installed. As a result, competition among equipment suppliers to secure contracts with potential customers is particularly intense and will continue to place
pressure on product pricing. Some of our competitors have in the past and may in the future resort to offering substantial discounts to win new customers and generate cash flows. If we are forced to
reduce prices in order to secure customers, we may be unable to sustain gross margins at desired levels or achieve profitability.

We have relied, and expect to continue to rely, on our BLC 6000 product line for the substantial majority of our sales, and a decline in sales of our BLC 6000 line would
cause our overall sales to decline proportionally.

We have derived a substantial majority of our sales in recent years from our BLC 6000 product line. We expect that sales of this
product line will continue to account for a substantial majority of our sales for the foreseeable future. Any factors adversely affecting the pricing of, or demand for, our BLC 6000 line, including
competition or technological change, could cause our sales to decline materially and our business to suffer.

If we fail to enhance our existing products and develop new products and features that meet changing customer requirements and support new technological advances, our sales
would be materially and adversely affected.

Our market is characterized by rapid technological advances, frequent new product introductions, evolving industry standards and
recurring changes in end-user requirements. Our future success will depend significantly on our ability to anticipate and adapt to such changes and to offer, on a timely and
cost-effective basis, products and features that meet changing customer demands and industry standards. The timely development of new or enhanced products is a complex and uncertain
process, and we may not be able to accurately anticipate market trends or have sufficient resources to successfully manage long development cycles. We may also experience design, manufacturing,
marketing and other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products and enhancements. The introduction of new or enhanced products also requires
that we manage the transition from older products to these new or enhanced products in order to minimize disruption in customer ordering patterns and ensure that adequate supplies of new products are
available for delivery to meet anticipated customer demand. If we are unable to develop new products or enhancements to our existing products on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if
our new products or

21

---



Table of Contents

enhancements
fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We
have enhanced our BLC 6000 platform to support active Gigabit Ethernet fiber-to-the-premises, or FTTP, services. Although we have invested
significant time and resources to develop this enhancement, these FTTP-enabled products are relatively new, with limited sales to date, and market acceptance of these products may fall
below our expectations. The introduction of new products is also expected to place pressure on our gross margins as most new products require time and increased sales volumes to achieve
cost-saving efficiencies in production. To the extent our new products and enhancements do not achieve broad market acceptance, we may not realize expected returns on our investments, and
we may lose current and potential customers.

If our products contain undetected defects, including errors and interoperability issues, we could incur significant unexpected expenses to remedy the defects, which could
have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations or financial condition.

Although our products are tested prior to shipment, they may contain software or hardware errors, defects or interoperability issues
(collectively described as "defects") that may only be detected when deployed in live networks that generate high amounts of communications traffic. In addition, defects or other malfunctions or
quality control issues may not appear until the
equipment has been deployed for an extended period of time. We also continue to introduce new products that may have undetected software or hardware defects. Our customers may discover defects in our
products at any time after deployment or as their networks are expanded and modified. Any defects in our products discovered in the future, or failures of our customers' networks, whether caused by
our products or those of another vendor, could result in lost sales and market share and negative publicity regarding our products. For example, during fiscal 2004, we experienced unusually high
repair costs related to the effect of lightning strikes on selected BLC 6000 installations. As a result, we experienced higher than anticipated costs of sales, which management believes were necessary
to maintain customer satisfaction. In 2007, we experienced higher than average failures of certain assemblies that were fabricated between October 2005 and January 2006 and identified a design issues
associated with a transistor that resulted in equipment disruption and that required a rework effort. As a result, we increased our warranty accruals in 2008. Recently, we have identified malfunctions
or defects that we were required to repair under applicable warranties (or elected to repair for customer relations purposes) related to equipment that had been in service for extended periods of
times. Defects, malfunctions, or other performance issues relating to our products could increase our warranty accruals and operating expenses, could have an adverse effect on market perceptions of
our products, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.

Our efforts to increase our sales and marketing efforts to larger telecom operators, which may require us to broaden our reseller relationships, may be unsuccessful.

To date, our sales and marketing efforts have been focused on small and mid-sized IOCs. A key element of our
long-term strategy is to increase sales to large IOCs, competitive local exchange carriers, regional Bell operating companies and international telecom service providers. We may be
required to devote substantial technical, marketing and sales resources to the pursuit of these customers, who have lengthy equipment qualification and sales cycles. In particular, sales to these
customers may require us to upgrade our products to meet more stringent performance criteria, develop new customer specific features or adapt our product to meet international standards. We may incur
substantial technical, sales and marketing expenses and expend significant management effort without any assurance of generating sales. Because we have limited resources and large telecom operators
may be reluctant to purchase products from a relatively small supplier like us, we plan to target these customers in cooperation with strategic resellers. These reseller relationships may not be

available
to us, and if formed, may include terms, such as exclusivity and non-competition provisions, that restrict our activities or impose onerous requirements on us. Moreover, in
connection with these relationships, we may forego direct sales opportunities in favor of forming relationships with strategic resellers. If we are unable to successfully increase our sales to larger
telecom operators or expand our reseller relationships, we may be unable to implement our long-term growth strategy.

If we were to experience payment problems with either resellers or customers for whom we are unable to assess creditworthiness, it could have an adverse impact on our
business, operating results, or financial condition.

Value added resellers, or VARs, account for a substantial portion of our revenue in a quarter. Some of these VARs are not well
capitalized, making collection of receivables from them uncertain. In addition, in certain instances, we are limited in our ability to evaluate the creditworthiness of direct customers who decline to
provide us with financial information. In 2007, in connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements, we adopted a revenue recognition policy that we would not recognize revenue
from those resellers who lacked an independent ability to pay us until we received cash payment. Sales to VARs for whom we are not able to recognize revenue until we receive cash payment are reflected
as deferred revenue. Any material collection issues we may experience with these resellers or direct customers could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, or financial condition
and could result in increases in bad debt expense or collection costs, inventory impairments, or adjustments to our reported revenues or deferred revenues. Any of these could result in a decline in
our stock price.

We rely on resellers to promote, sell, install and support our products to small customers in North America, and internationally, their failure to do so or our inability to
recruit or retain resellers may substantially reduce our sales and thus seriously harm our business.

We rely on value added resellers who can provide high quality sales and support services. We compete with other telecommunications
systems providers for our resellers' business as our resellers generally market competing products. If a reseller promotes a competitor's products to the detriment of our products or otherwise fails
to market our products and services effectively, we could lose market share. In addition, the loss of a key reseller or the failure of resellers to provide adequate customer service could have a
negative effect on customer satisfaction and could cause harm to our business. If we do not properly train our resellers to sell, install and service our products, our business, financial condition
and results of operations will suffer.

We may be unable to successfully expand our international operations. In addition, our international expansion plans, if implemented, will subject us to a variety of risks
that may adversely affect our business.

We currently generate almost all of our sales from customers in North America and have very limited experience marketing, selling and
supporting our products and services outside North America or managing the administrative aspects of a worldwide operation. While we intend to expand our international operations, we may not be able
to create or maintain international market demand for our products. In addition, regulations or standards adopted by other countries may require us to redesign our existing products or develop new
products suitable for sale in those countries. If we invest substantial time and resources to expand our international operations and are
unable to do so successfully and in a timely manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations will suffer. In the course of expanding our international operations and operating
overseas, we will be subject to a variety of risks, including:

Table of Contents



We may pursue acquisitions to broaden our product line or address new or larger markets. Acquisitions involve a number of risks. If we are unable to address and resolve
these risks successfully, such acquisitions could have a material adverse impact to our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

We may make acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies to expand our product offerings and capabilities, customer base and
business. In October 2007, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Terawave Communications and we have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, a wide array of potential
strategic transactions. We have limited experience making such acquisitions. Any of these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The
anticipated benefit of acquisitions may never materialize. In addition, the process of integrating an acquired business, products or technologies may create unforeseen operating difficulties and
expenditures. Some of the areas where we may face acquisition related risks include:



Foreign
acquisitions involve unique risks in addition to those mentioned above, including those related to integration of operations across different cultures and languages, currency
risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries. We cannot assure that we will be able to address these risks successfully, or at all, without
incurring significant costs, delay or other operating problems. Our inability to resolve any of such risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, consolidated financial condition and
consolidated results of operations.

If we lose any of our key personnel, or are unable to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, our ability to manage our business and continue our growth would be
negatively impacted.

Our success depends, in large part, on the continued contributions of our key management, engineering, sales and marketing personnel,
many of whom are highly skilled and would be difficult to replace. None of our senior management or key technical or sales personnel is bound by a written employment contract to remain with us for a
specified period. In addition, we do not currently maintain key-man life insurance covering our key personnel. If we lose the services of any key personnel, our business, financial
condition and results of operations may suffer.

Competition
for skilled personnel, particularly those specializing in engineering and sales is intense. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in attracting and retaining
qualified personnel, or that newly hired personnel will function effectively, either individually or as a group. In particular, we must continue to expand our direct sales force, including hiring
additional sales managers, to grow our customer base and increase sales. Even if we are successful in hiring additional sales personnel, new sales representatives require up to a year to become
effective, and the recent loss of a senior sales executive could have an adverse impact on our ability to recruit and train additional sales personnel. In addition, our industry is characterized by
frequent claims relating to unfair hiring practices. We may become subject to such claims and may incur substantial costs in defending ourselves against these claims, regardless of their merits. If we
are unable to effectively hire, integrate and utilize new personnel, the execution of our business strategy and our ability to react to changing market conditions may be impeded, and our business,
financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

We may have difficulty managing growth in our business, if any, which could limit our ability to increase sales and cash flow.

We expect to expand our research and development, sales, marketing and support activities, including our activities outside the U.S.
depending on future business and economic conditions. Our historical growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, significant demands on our management, as well as our financial and
operational resources, as required to:



In
addition, if we cannot grow or manage our business growth effectively, we may not be able to execute our business strategies and our business, consolidated financial condition and
consolidated results of operations would suffer.

Because we depend upon a small number of outside contractors to manufacture our products, our operations could be disrupted if we encounter problems with any of these
contractors.

We do not have internal manufacturing capabilities and rely upon a small number of contract manufacturers to build our products. In
particular, we rely on AsteelFlash Group (formerly Flash Electronics), Inc. for the manufacture of our BLC 6000 blade products. Our reliance on a small number of contract manufacturers makes us
vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. We do not have

25

Table of Contents

long-term
supply contracts with our primary contract manufacturers. Consequently, these manufacturers are not obligated to supply products to us for any specific period, in any specific
quantity or at any certain price, except as may be provided by a particular purchase order. If any of our manufacturers were unable or unwilling to continue manufacturing our products in required
volumes and at high quality levels, we would have to identify, qualify and select acceptable alternative manufacturers. It is possible that an alternate source may not be available to us when needed
or may not be in a position to satisfy our production requirements at commercially reasonable prices and quality. Any significant interruption in manufacturing would require us to reduce our supply of
products to our customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our customer relations, business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

A
portion of our manufacturing was moved to the overseas facilities of our primary contract manufacturer. This transition presents a number of risks, including the potential for a supply
interruption or a reduction in manufacturing quality or controls, any of which would negatively impact our business, customer relationships and results of operations.

We depend on sole source and limited source suppliers for key components and license technology from third parties. If we are unable to source these components and
technologies on a timely basis, we will not be able to deliver our products to our customers.

We depend on sole source and limited source suppliers for key components of our products. We may from time to time enter into original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) and/or original design manufacturer (ODM) agreements to manufacture and/or design certain products. Any of the sole source and limited source suppliers, OEM and ODM
suppliers upon which we rely could stop producing our components, cease operations entirely, or be acquired by, or enter into exclusive arrangements with, our competitors. We do not have
long-term supply agreements with our suppliers, and our purchase volumes are currently too low for us to be considered a priority customer by most of our suppliers. As a result, these
suppliers could stop selling components to us at commercially reasonable prices, or at all. Any such interruption or delay may force us to seek similar components from alternate sources, if available
at all. Switching suppliers may require that we redesign our products to accommodate the new component and may potentially require us to re-qualify our products with our customers, which
would be costly and time-consuming. Any interruption in the supply of sole source or limited source components would adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to
our customers and would materially and adversely affect our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

Periodically,
we may be required to license technology from third parties to develop new products or product enhancements. These third party licenses may be unavailable to us on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain necessary third party licenses may force us to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at greater
cost, any of which could seriously harm the competitiveness of our products and which would result in a material and adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated
results of operations.

If we fail to accurately predict our manufacturing requirements and manage our inventory, we could incur additional costs, experience manufacturing delays, or lose revenue.

Lead times for the materials and components that we order through our contract manufacturers may vary significantly and depend on
numerous factors, including the specific supplier, contract terms and market demand for a component at a given time. If we overestimate our production requirements, our contract manufacturers may
purchase excess components and build excess inventory. If our contract manufacturers purchase excess components that are unique to our products or build excess products, we could be required to pay
for these excess parts or products and recognize related inventory write-down costs. If we underestimate our product requirements, our contract manufacturers may have

26

---



Table of Contents

inadequate
component inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of our products and result in delays or cancellation of sales. In prior periods we have experienced excess and obsolete inventory
write downs which impact our cost of revenue. This may continue in the future, which would have an adverse effect on our gross margins, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of
operations.

Demand for our products is dependent on the willingness of our customers to deploy new services, the success of our customers in selling new services to their subscribers,
and the willingness of our customers to utilize IP and Ethernet technologies in local access networks.

Demand for our products is dependent on the success of our customers in deploying and selling services to their subscribers. Our BLC
6000 platform simultaneously supports IP-based services, such as broadband Internet, VoIP, IPTV and FTTP, and traditional voice services. If end-user demand for
IP-based services does not grow as expected or declines and our customers are unable or unwilling to deploy and market these newer services, demand for our products may decrease or fail to
grow at rates we anticipate.

Our
strategy includes developing products for the local access network that incorporate IP and Ethernet technologies. If these technologies are not widely adopted by telecom service
providers for use in local access networks, demand for our products may decline or not grow. As a result, we may be unable to sell our products to recoup our expenses related to the development of
these products and our consolidated results of operations would be harmed.

Changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices may adversely affect our consolidated results of operations. In addition, as we expand our business, we could
become subject to taxation in new states or jurisdictions, which will require us to incur additional compliance costs and potential taxes and fees associated with complying with such tax laws.

We are subject to numerous tax and accounting requirements, and changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices, or
varying interpretations of current rules or practices, could have a significant adverse effect on our financial results or the manner in which we conduct our business. For example, prior to fiscal
2006, we accounted for options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method, which, given that we generally granted employee options with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the
underlying stock at the time of grant, resulted in no compensation expense. Beginning in fiscal 2006, we began recording expenses for our stock based compensation plans, including option grants to
employees, using the fair value method, under which we expect our ongoing accounting charges related to equity awards to employees to be significantly greater than those we would have recorded under
the intrinsic value method. We expect to continue to use stock based compensation as a significant component of our compensation package for existing and future employees.

Accordingly,
changes in accounting for stock based compensation expense are expected to have a material adverse affect on our reported results. Any similar changes in accounting or
taxation rules or practices could have a material impact on our consolidated financial results or the way we conduct our business.

In
recent years, the geographic scope of our business has expanded, and such expansion requires us to comply with the tax laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions. Requirements as
to taxation vary substantially among states and other jurisdictions. We have recently expanded our international sales activity and may become subject to foreign tax laws as well, particularly related
to value added taxes. Complying with the tax laws of these jurisdictions can be time consuming and expensive and could subject us to penalties and fees if we inadvertently fail to comply. In the
United States, tax authorities in states where we believed we were not subject to sales tax could assert jurisdiction and

27

Table of Contents

seek
to collect sales taxes, which could result in increased compliance expense as well as penalties and could adversely affect our customer relationships if it is determined we need to collect sales
taxes for prior transactions. In the event we fail inadvertently to comply with applicable tax laws, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.

The amount of our net operating loss (NOL) and credit carryforwards is uncertain. Prior transactions to which we or our stockholders or their affiliates have been a party,
and future transactions to which we or our stockholders or their affiliates may become a party, including stock issuances and certain shareholder stock transactions could jeopardize our ability to use
some or all of our NOLs and tax credits, and the amounts of NOLs or tax credits we would be precluded from using could be material. In addition, California and certain states have recently suspended
or are considering suspending, the ability to use net operating loss carryforwards in future years and this could adversely affect future operating results.

Based on current tax law, we believe we have certain NOLs and tax credits for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes to offset
future taxable income and related taxes. As of December 31, 2009, we had incurred significant losses and credits in the United States. Our ability to utilize these tax attributes may be subject
to significant limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code if we have undergone, or undergo in the future, an ownership change. An ownership change occurs for purposes
of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code if, among other things, stockholders who own or have owned, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of our common stock (with certain groups of
less-than-5% stockholders treated as a single stockholder for this purpose) increase their aggregate percentage ownership of our common stock by more than fifty percentage points above the lowest
percentage of the stock owned by these stockholders at any time during the relevant three-year testing period. In the event of an ownership change, Sections 382 and 383 impose an annual
limitation, based upon our company valuation at the time of the ownership change, on the amount of taxable income a corporation may offset with NOLs and credits. Any unused annual limitation may be
carried over to later years until the applicable expiration date for the respective NOLs and credits. In general, the higher our company valuation at the time of such an ownership change, the higher
the annual limitation would be, and we could offset a greater amount of taxable income with the NOLs and credits. However, if an ownership change has occurred in a period when our company valuation
was low, the annual limitation would be lower, and we could only offset a lesser amount of taxable income with the NOLs and credits. To the extent that these tax attributes become significantly
limited, we expect to be taxed on our income, if any, at the U.S. federal and state statutory rates.

We
believe that the cumulative impact of past events, such as the merger of Occam CA with Accelerated Networks, our private placements of preferred stock, and other equity transactions
(including our 2006 public offering) triggered an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, transactions by our stockholders and affiliates that do not
involve us could have the impact of triggering an ownership change and result in our inability to use some or all of our NOLs. We are currently working with our tax advisors to evaluate the impact
under Section 382 of various transactions, including transactions involving our significant stockholders such as the acquisition of Wachovia Bank by Wells Fargo & Company, which we understand is an
affiliate of Norwest Venture Partners, that could have resulted in an ownership change. Even if certain of these prior transactions did not trigger an ownership change, they increased the likelihood
that we may undergo an ownership change in the future. Any such ownership change would limit, possibly significantly, our ability to use any U.S. federal and state NOLs and tax credits as described
above.

To
the extent that these NOLs and credits become significantly limited, we expect to be taxed on our income, if any, at the U.S. federal and state statutory rates. As a result, any
inability to utilize these tax attributes would adversely affect future operating results by the amount of the federal or state taxes that would not have otherwise been payable, having an adverse
impact on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, inability to use NOLs and credits would adversely affect our financial

condition
relative to our financial condition had these tax attributes been available. In addition, California and certain states have suspended use of NOLs, and other states are considering similar
measures. Although the suspension in California does not currently apply for 2010, it is possible the state could reinstitute the suspension as it seeks to address budget challenges. As a result, we
may incur higher state income tax expense in the future. Depending on our future tax position, continued suspension of our ability to use state NOLs could have an adverse impact on our operating
results and financial condition.

Our customers are subject to government regulation, and changes in current or future laws or regulations that negatively impact our customers could harm our business.

The jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, extends to the entire telecommunications industry, including our
customers. Future FCC regulations affecting the broadband access industry, our customers, or the service offerings of our customers, may harm our business. For example, FCC regulatory policies
affecting the availability of data and Internet services may impede the penetration of our customers into certain markets or affect the prices they may charge in such markets. Furthermore, many of our
customers are subject to FCC rate regulation of interstate telecommunications services, and are recipients of federal universal service subsidies implemented and administered by the FCC. In addition,
many of our customers are subject to state regulation of intrastate telecommunications services, including rates for such services, and may also receive state universal service subsidies. Changes in
FCC or state rate regulations or federal or state universal service subsidies or the imposition of taxes on Internet access service, could adversely affect our customers' revenues and capital spending
plans. In addition, international regulatory bodies are beginning to adopt standards and regulations for the telecom industry. These domestic and foreign standards, laws and regulations address
various aspects of VoIP and broadband use, including issues relating to liability for information retrieved from, or transmitted over, the Internet. Changes in standards, laws and regulations, or
judgments in favor of plaintiffs in lawsuits against service providers could adversely affect the development of Internet and other IP-based services. This, in turn, could directly or
indirectly materially adversely impact the telecom industry in which our customers operate. To the extent our customers are adversely affected by laws or regulations regarding their business, products
or service offerings, our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer.

If we fail to comply with regulations and evolving industry standards, sales of our existing and future products could be adversely affected.

The markets for our products are characterized by a significant number of laws, regulations and standards, both domestic and
international, some of which are evolving as new technologies are deployed. Our products are required to comply with these laws, regulations and standards, including those promulgated by the FCC. For
example, the FCC required that all facilities based providers of broadband Internet access and interconnect VoIP services meet the capability requirements of the Communications Assistance for Law
Enforcement Act by May 14, 2007. Subject to certain statutory parameters, we were required to make available to our customers, on a reasonably timely basis and at a reasonable charge, such
features or modifications as are necessary to permit our customers to meet those capability requirements. In some cases, we are required to obtain certifications or authorizations before our products
can be introduced, marketed or sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to design our products to comply with all necessary requirements in the future. Accordingly, any of
these laws, regulations and standards may directly affect our ability to market or sell our products.

Some of our operations are regulated under various federal, state and local environmental laws. Our planned international expansion will likely subject us to
additional environmental and other laws. For example, the European Union Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment, known as the WEEE Directive, requires producers of certain
electrical and electronic equipment, including telecom equipment, to be financially responsible for the specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and present covered products
placed on the market in the European Union. The European Union Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, known as the RoHS
Directive, restricts the use of certain hazardous substances, including lead, in covered products. Failure to comply with these and other environmental laws could result in fines and penalties and
decreased sales, which could adversely affect our planned international expansion and our consolidated operating results.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure may create uncertainty regarding
compliance matters. New or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases. As a result, their application in practice may evolve over time. We are
committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. Complying with evolving interpretations of new or changed
legal requirements may cause us to incur higher costs as we revise current practices, policies and procedures, and may divert management time and attention from revenue generating to compliance
activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice,
our reputation might also be harmed. Further, our board members, chief executive officer and chief financial officer could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the
performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers, which could harm our business.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property, which could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.

We depend on our proprietary technology for our success and ability to compete. We currently hold 27 issued patents and have several
patent applications pending. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect
our proprietary rights. Existing patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws will afford us only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary
rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the U.S. We cannot assure you that any pending patent applications will result in issued patents, and issued patents could prove unenforceable. Any
infringement of our proprietary rights could result in significant litigation costs. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in our competitors offering
similar products, resulting in the loss of our competitive advantage and decreased sales.

Despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our products, or to obtain and use information that we regard as
proprietary. Accordingly, we may be unable to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third party copying or use. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property
would be difficult for us. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary
rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated
results of operations.

Table of Contents

We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights that could materially harm our business.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims that are costly to defend and could limit our ability to use some
technologies in the future. Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. From time to time, third
parties have asserted against us and may assert against us in the future patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights to technologies or rights that are important to our
business. In addition, we have agreed, and may in the future agree, to indemnify our customers for any expenses or liabilities resulting from claimed infringements of patents, trademarks or copyrights
of third parties. Any claims asserting that our products infringe, or may infringe on, the proprietary rights of third parties, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, resulting in
costly litigation and diverting the efforts of our management. These claims could also result in product shipment delays or require us to modify our products or enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Our business could be shut down or severely impacted if a natural disaster or other unforeseen catastrophe occurs, particularly in California.

Our business and operations depend on the extent to which our facilities and products are protected against damage from fire,
earthquakes, power loss and similar events. Some of our key business activities currently take place in regions considered as high risk for certain types of natural disasters. Despite precautions we
have taken, a natural disaster or other unanticipated problem could, among other things, hinder our research and development efforts, delay the shipment of our products and affect our ability to
receive and fulfill orders. While we believe that our insurance coverage is comparable to those of similar companies in our industry, it does not cover all natural disasters, in particular,
earthquakes and floods.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our executive officers, directors and their affiliates hold a large percentage of our stock and their interests may differ from other stockholders.

As of December 31, 2009, our executive officers, directors and their affiliates beneficially owned, in the aggregate,
approximately 27% of our outstanding common stock, of this 25% is collectively owned by investment funds affiliated with U.S. Venture Partners and Norwest Venture Partners. Representatives of U.S.
Venture Partners and Norwest Venture Partners are directors of Occam. These stockholders have significant influence over most matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of
directors, any amendments to our certificate of incorporation and significant corporate transactions.

Our stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid.

Our shares of common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Global Market in November 2006. An active public market for our shares on The
NASDAQ Global Market may not be sustained. In particular, limited trading volumes and liquidity may limit the ability of stockholders to purchase or sell our common stock in the amounts and at the
times they wish. Trading volume in our common stock tends to be modest relative to our total outstanding shares, and the price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially (particularly in
percentage terms) without regard to news about us or general trends in the stock market.

In
addition, the trading price of our common stock could become highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our
control.

31

Table of Contents

These
factors include those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and others such as:



In
recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated
or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating
performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company's securities, securities class action litigation has often
been instituted against these companies. We are currently a defendant in securities class action litigation arising from the restatement of our consolidated financial statements. This litigation or
any additional litigation that may be instituted against us could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources.

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended and restated, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:



32

As
a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover provisions. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with
any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board of directors has approved the transaction. Our board of directors
could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay an acquisition of us.

We may be unable to raise additional capital to fund our future operations, and any future financings or acquisitions could result in substantial dilution to existing
stockholders.

While we anticipate our cash balances and any cash from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next
12 months, we may need to raise additional capital to fund operations in the future. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional equity or debt funding when or if it is
required. The terms of any financing, if available, could be unfavorable to us and our stockholders and could result in substantial dilution to the equity and voting interests of our stockholders. Any
failure to obtain financing when and as required would have an adverse and material effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could
decline.

The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about
us or our business. If no or few securities or industry analysts cover our company, the trading price for our stock would be negatively impacted. If one or more of the analysts who covers us
downgrades our stock or publishes misleading or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails
to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause or stock price or trading volume to decline.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

2007 Class Action Litigation

On April 26, 2007 and May 16, 2007, two putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court
for the Central District of California against us and certain of our officers. The complaints allege that the defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and SEC Rule 10b-5 by making false and misleading statements and omissions relating to our financial statements and internal controls with respect to revenue recognition. The
complaints seek, on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock during the period from May 2, 2006 to April 17, 2007, damages of an unspecified amount.

On
July 30, 2007, Judge Christina A. Snyder consolidated these actions into a single action, appointed NECA-IBEW Pension Fund (The Decatur Plan) as lead plaintiff, and
approved its selection of lead counsel. On November 16, 2007, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint. This consolidated complaint adds as defendants certain of our current and former
directors and officers, our current and former outside auditors, the lead underwriter of our secondary public offering in November 2006, and two venture capital firms who were early investors in us.
The consolidated complaint alleges that defendants violated sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as
well as sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by making false and misleading statements and omissions relating to our financial statements and internal controls with respect to
revenue recognition that required restatement. The consolidated complaint seeks, on behalf of persons who purchased our common stock during the period from April 29, 2004 to October 15,
2007, damages of an unspecified amount.

On
January 25, 2008, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On July 1, 2008, Judge Snyder issued an order granting in part and denying in part
defendants' motions. This order dismissed all claims against certain of our current and former directors, the 20A claim in its entirety, the section 10(b) claim against the auditors and venture
capital firms, and the section 11 claims against the venture capital firms. On July 16, 2008, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint to conform to the Court's July 1, 2008
order. On August 29, 2008, defendants answered the amended complaint.

On
September 10, 2009, we entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle and resolve this stockholder class action lawsuit. On November 2, 2009, the parties signed
and submitted a formal, binding stipulation of settlement to the court. The court issued its preliminary approval of the settlement on November 13, 2009. On February 22, 2010, the court held a
hearing dismissing the litigation with prejudice and entered a final judgement. This matter is now resolved as to all defendants. The settlement provides for a payment to the class of
$13.945 million, of which we have agreed to contribute $1.7 million and the balance of which will come from our insurers and other settling defendants. We have recorded a charge of
$1.7 million as a loss on settlement for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, associated with the settlement.

IPO Allocation Litigation

In June 2001, three putative stockholder class action lawsuits were filed against Accelerated Networks, certain of its then officers
and directors and several investment banks that were underwriters of Accelerated Networks' initial public offering. The cases, which were later consolidated, were filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, and the operative Complaint

34

Table of Contents

was
filed on April 19, 2002. The Complaint was filed on behalf of investors who purchased Accelerated Networks' stock between June 22, 2000 and December 6, 2000 and alleged
violations of Sections 11 and
15 of the 1933 Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of the 1934 Act against one or both of Accelerated Networks and the individual defendants. The claims were
based on allegations that the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in Accelerated Networks' initial public offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed
commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. Plaintiffs alleged that the prospectus for Accelerated Networks'
initial public offering was false and misleading in violation of the securities laws because it did not disclose these arrangements.

We
believe that over three hundred other companies have been named in over three hundred similar lawsuits that have been coordinated with our case. In October 2002, the plaintiffs
voluntarily dismissed the individual defendants without prejudice. On February 1, 2003 a motion to dismiss filed by the issuer defendants was heard and the court dismissed the 10(b), 20(a) and
rule 10b-5 claims against Occam. On October 13, 2004, the Court certified a class in six of the approximately 300 other nearly identical actions (the "focus" cases) and noted
that the decision was intended to provide guidance to all parties regarding class certification in the remaining cases. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district court's decision
granting class certification in those six cases on December 5, 2006. Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied the petition, but noted that
Plaintiffs could ask the District Court to certify a more narrow class than the one that was rejected.

The
parties in the approximately 300 coordinated cases, including ours, reached a settlement. On October 5, 2009, the Court approved the settlement and certified a settlement
class. Six notices of appeal of the Second Circuit of the Court's approval of the settlement have been filed. Three objectors to the settlement who filed a notice of appeal also filed a permission to
file an appeal on the basis that the Court purportedly abused its discretion concerning the class certification on the grounds that it was broader than the class rejected by the Second Circuit Appeals
Court. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the petition. The Court has not yet ruled on the petition and the briefing on the appeals has not yet commenced. The case remains open pending the outcome of
the court ruling on the appeals.

Due
to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. We have not recorded any accrual related to the settlement because Occam
expects any settlement amounts to be covered by its insurance policies.

IPO Short Swing Profits Litigation

In late 2007, we received a letter from Vanessa Simmonds, a putative shareholder, demanding that we investigate and prosecute a claim
for alleged short-swing trading in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78p(b), by the underwriter of our initial public
offering ("IPO") and certain unidentified directors, officers and shareholders of us (then known as Accelerated Networks). We evaluated the demand and declined to prosecute the claim. On
October 12, 2007, the putative shareholder commenced a civil lawsuit in the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Credit Suisse Group, the lead underwriter of our IPO, alleging violations of Section 16(b). The complaint alleges that the
combined number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the lead underwriter and certain unnamed officers, directors, and principal shareholders exceeded ten percent of its outstanding
common stock from the date of Occam's IPO on June 23, 2000, through at least June 22, 2001. It further alleges that those entities and individuals were thus subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) and the short-swing trading prohibition of Section 16(b), and failed to comply with those provisions. The complaint seeks to recover from the lead
underwriter any "short-swing profits" obtained by it in violation of Section 16(b). We were named as a nominal defendant in the action, but have no liability for the asserted claims. None of
our directors or officers of Occam are named as defendants in this action.

Table of Contents

On
October 29, 2007, the case was reassigned to Judge James L. Robart along with fifty-four other Section 16(b) cases seeking recovery of short-swing profits
from underwriters in connection with various IPOs. The Underwriters and Issuers have filed a motion to dismiss the case and reply briefs have been filed. The Court heard oral argument on
January 19, 2009 from all parties. On March 12, 2009, the Court dismissed the 16 (b) complaint against the issuer defendants including Occam on both jurisdictional and statute of
limitation grounds. On March 31, 2009, the Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal and their opening brief on August 26, 2009. The Issuers including Occam and the underwriters filed their
responses on October 2, 2009. Each party's reply briefs have been filed as of November 17, 2009. To date the Appellate Court for the Ninth Circuit has not set a date of oral argument.

Due
to the inherent uncertainties of threatened litigation, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. We have not recorded any accruals related to the demand
letters or Section 16(b) litigation because we expect any resulting resolution to be covered by our insurance policies.

Other Matters

From time to time, we are subject to threats of litigation or actual litigation in the ordinary course of business, some of which may
be material. We believe that, except as described above, there are no currently pending matters that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material effect on our business or that would not be
covered by our existing liability insurance maintained by us.

ITEM 6.   SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following selected historical consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, which begin on page F-1 of this Form 10-K, the section captioned "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and the other financial information and data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

The
consolidated financial data set forth below as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2009 are derived from, and qualified by reference to, our audited consolidated financial statements appearing beginning on page F-1 of this
Form 10-K. The consolidated financial data set forth below as of December 26, 2004 and December 25, 2005 and for the years ended December 26, 2004 and
December 25, 2005 have been derived from our audited financial statements, which are not included herein. The consolidated financial data set forth below for and as of the years ended
December 26, 2004 and December 25, 2005 has been restated as a result of the audit committee review as described below.

On
October 16, 2007, we announced that the audit committee of our board of directors had completed its previously announced internal review of our revenue recognition practices.
Among other matters, our audit committee, assisted by independent forensic accountants and legal advisors, reviewed our practices relating to the following:



As
a result of our audit committee's review, we identified errors in our previous recognition of revenue and determined that we recognized approximately $33.0 million of revenue
prematurely during fiscal years 2004 through 2006. As a result, we restated our consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal periods: (i) the fiscal years ended
December 25, 2005 and December 26, 2004; (ii) each of the interim quarterly periods in the fiscal years ended December 25, 2005 and December 26, 2004; and
(iii) each of the interim quarterly periods ended March 26, June 25, and September 24, 2006.

All
references to earnings and the number of shares of our common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-40 reverse stock split effected on
March 10, 2006.

You
should not rely upon any of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that we filed prior to October 16, 2007 due
to the restatement of our financial statements for fiscal years ended fiscal years ended December 25, 2005 and December 26, 2004, each of the interim quarterly periods in our fiscal
years ended December 25, 2005 and December 26, 2004; and each of the interim quarterly periods ended March 26, June 25, and September 24, 2006. In addition, you
should not rely on any information contained in our registration statements on Form S-1, which were declared effective by the SEC on December 29, 2005, January 31,
2006, and November 1, 2006, respectively.

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 condensed consolidated financial
statements and the related notes thereto included beginning on page F-1 of this Form 10-K. The discussion in this Form 10-K contains both
historical information and forward- looking statements. A number of factors affect our operating results and could cause our actual future results to differ materially from any forward-looking results
discussed below. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "anticipates," "appears," "believes," "continue," "could," "estimates," "expects," "feels," "goal,"
"hope," "intends," "may," "our future success depends," "plans," "potential," "predicts," "projects," "reasonably," "seek to continue," "should," "thinks," "will" or the negative of these terms or
other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In addition, historical information should not be considered an indicator of future
performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K
under the caption "Risk Factors." These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward- looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity,
performance, or achievements. Moreover, we are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-K to conform these statements to actual
results. These forward-looking statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provision of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Overview

We develop, market and support innovative broadband access products designed to enable telecom service providers to offer, voice, video
and data, or Triple Play, services over both copper and fiber optic networks. Our Broadband Loop Carrier, or BLC, is an integrated hardware and software platform that uses Internet Protocol, or IP,
and Ethernet technologies to increase the capabilities of local access networks, enabling our customers to deliver advanced services, including voice-over-IP, or VoIP,
websurfing and other high speed data communications services, IP-based television, or IPTV, including high-definition television, or HDTV, or in some cases all three of these
services, referred to as Triple Play. Our platform simultaneously supports traditional voice services, enabling our customers to leverage their existing networks and migrate to IP services and
networks without disruption. In addition to providing our customers with increased bandwidth, our products provide incremental value by offering software-based features to improve the quality,
resiliency and security of Triple Play services. Our BLC products enable all of these services over either traditional twisted-pair copper telephone lines or over newer
fiber-to-the-premise, or FTTP, lines.

We
market our products through a combination of direct and indirect channels. Our direct sales efforts are focused on the North American independent operating company, or IOC, segment of
the telecom service provider market. These are companies that never were a part of the original Bell System. We have expanded our sales activities to include Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the
Caribbean, Latin America, the Pacific Islands and certain other international locations, nevertheless sales outside North America continue to represent an insignificant portion of our business. As of
December 31, 2009, we had shipped our BLC platform to over 300 telecommunications customers.

From
our inception through December 31, 2009, we have incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $135.5 million. We realized income from operations and were profitable
on a net income basis during the quarters ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2006, September 24, 2006, and for the year ended December 31, 2006. Previously, we had not
been profitable on a quarterly or annual basis, excluding the quarter ended December 25, 2005, in which we realized modest operating income

of
$3,000. We experienced operating and net losses in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009 and for fiscal 2009 as a whole.

Throughout
2009, we experienced a softening in our business as we experienced declining customer orders. We believe this softening was attributable in part to delays associated with our
customers' evaluations of strategic investment decisions concerning their movement from copper wire to fiber, in part to a shift in our customer base toward longer term loan projects funded by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, or RUS program, and in part to general macro-economic conditions which continued to deteriorate throughout 2009. We cannot predict the timing
or amount of orders and we expect to continue to experience some delays or cancellations of customer orders in 2010. In light of macroeconomic conditions, we have limited visibility into customer
purchasing patterns and believe that our 2010 revenues and operating results will depend substantially on trends in capital equipment spending by IOCs. Currently, we expect capital equipment budgets
may continue to be reduced in 2010, but believe that the overall negative budget trend could be offset, in part, by government broadband economic stimulus programs and spending initiatives.
Nevertheless, we cannot predict the timing or financial impact, if any, on our business and operating results from government economic stimulus programs.

In
October 2007 we restated our previously released consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal periods: (i) the fiscal years ended December 25, 2005 and
December 26, 2004; (ii) each of the interim quarterly periods in the fiscal years ended December 25, 2005 and December 26, 2004; and (iii) each of the interim
quarterly periods ended March 26, June 25, and September 24, 2006.

Prior
to January 1, 2007, when we adopted a calendar year end for fiscal reporting purposes, we prepared our consolidated financial statements with the end of each quarter falling
on the last Sunday of each calendar quarter. As a result, our accounting quarters did not necessarily coincide with the last day of the calendar month. Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted a
calendar fiscal-year end. The quarter-end dates for fiscal 2006 were March 26, June 25, September 24, and December 31.

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. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us 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 consolidated financial statements and
the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories,
litigation, accounts receivable reserves, sales returns reserves, warranty reserve and valuation of deferred income tax assets. We base our 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. We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Occam generally recognizes revenue under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, or SAB 104, in the period when all of the
requirements of SAB 104 have been met:



46

---



Table of Contents



The
Company enters into transactions with value-added resellers where the resellers may not have the ability to pay for these sales independent of payment to them by the
end-user. In these cases, the Company does not recognize revenue until payment has been received, provided the remaining revenue recognition criteria are met.

The
Company sells hardware products that contain embedded operating system software, which the Company has determined are "incidental" to the hardware products. Revenue is recognized for
these products under SAB 104. The Company has one minor software network management product which is a stand alone product not essential to the functionality of other products that the Company
sells. Revenue is recognized for this product in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 985, Software. The amount of sales of this product and the related revenue recognized to
date by the Company have been immaterial. In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition to remove tangible products
containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality from the scope of industry specific software revenue
recognition guidance. The Company elected to early adopt this accounting guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions.

In
addition to the aforementioned general policy, the Company enters into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, which may include training and post-sales
technical support and maintenance to our customers as needed to assist them in installation or use of our products, and makes provisions for these costs in the periods of sale. Multiple-element
arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of
the following criteria are met:



If
these criteria are not met, then revenue is deferred until such criteria are met or until the period(s) over which the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is objective and
reliable evidence of fair value for all units of accounting in an arrangement, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit's relative fair value.
In October 2009, FASB amended the accounting standards to allow the use of best estimate of selling price in addition to VSOE and TPE for determining the selling price of a deliverable. A vendor is
now required to use its best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or third party evidence ("TPE") of the selling price cannot be determined. The Company elected to early adopt this accounting
guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses "estimated
selling price" ("ESP") in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on
a stand-alone basis. ESP is generally used for new products, and it applies to a small proportion of the Company's arrangements with multiple deliverables. The Company determines ESP for a product or
service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices.

In
certain circumstances, the Company enters into arrangements with customers who receive financing support in the form of long-term low interest rate loans from the United
States Department of Agriculture's RUS program. The terms of the RUS contracts provide that in certain instances transfer of title of the Company's products does not occur until customer acceptance,
however the Company waited for final cash payment on these contracts before recognizing revenue. Effective January 1, 2009 based on historical experience, the Company has determined that
revenue recognition on RUS contracts is appropriate upon customer acceptance, given the remaining revenue recognition criteria, such as collectability, under SAB 104 have been met. As a result
the Company recognized approximately $6.1 million in revenue for year ended December 31, 2009 based on customer acceptance, not final cash payment.

We
warrant our products for periods up to five years and record an estimated warranty accrual when shipped.



Our inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or market value, with cost being determined using the first-in,
first-out method. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future demand and market conditions and compare them with current inventory
levels. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required.



We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred income tax asset to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be
realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, should we determine
that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such
determination was made. For 2009, 2008 and 2007, our net deferred tax assets have been offset with a full valuation allowance.



We evaluate our estimated potential financial exposure for loss contingencies, particularly the pending litigation matters discussed in
Note 13 and the FairPoint bankruptcy filing discussed in Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. We accrue an
estimated loss related to a contingency if (a) it is probable that a liability had been incurred and future events will occur confirming the fact of the loss at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and (b) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any
other amount, we accrue the minimum amount in the range. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to pending litigation and revise our estimates. Such
revisions in the estimated potential liability could materially impact our consolidated results of operations and financial position. We have not recorded an accrual for an
estimated loss for the IPO allocation case because we believe the anticipated settlement amounts are covered by our insurance policies.



We provide a standard warranty with the sale of our products for up to five years from the date of shipment. The estimated cost of
providing the product warranty is recorded at the time of shipment. We maintain product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the

48

---



Table of Contents

quality
of our suppliers. We quantify and record an estimate for warranty-related costs based on our actual history, projected return and failure rates and current repair costs.

Our
estimates are based on the actual number of products returned for repairs, an estimate of products that may be returned for warranty repair and estimated costs of repair depending on
the type of service required. These estimates require us to examine past warranty issues and consider their continuing impact in the future. Our accrual is based on consideration of all these factors
which are known as of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. To the extent that actual warranty repairs are higher than our estimates, our costs will increase. The costs for
warranty returns totaled $2.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively.



Effective beginning the first fiscal quarter of 2006, we adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 using the modified
prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation costs for all awards granted after the date of adoption and the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding at the date of
adoption are measured at estimated fair value and included in cost of sales and operating expenses over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Prior
period amounts presented herein have not been restated to reflect the adoption of FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718.

Upon
adoption of FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718, we selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fair
value for
stock-based awards. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of extensive actual employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of complex assumptions including expected
volatility, forfeitures, and expected dividends. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We do not anticipate
declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected volatility is based on the annualized weekly historical volatility of our stock price and we believe it is indicative of future volatility. We
estimate the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation patterns with consideration to our industry peers of similar size with similar
option vesting periods. Our analysis of stock price volatility and option lives involves management's best estimates at the time of determination. FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 also
requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of options or stock units that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply an estimated forfeiture rate that is derived from
historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future
periods.

We
recognize stock-based compensation expense for the fair value of restricted stock, including restricted stock units. Fair value is determined by using the closing price of our common
stock on the grant date. The fair value of these awards is recognized to expense over the requisite service period of the awards. During 2009, certain performance related awards were granted to our
officers and certain employees that will become exercisable upon the achievement of certain performance criteria and the confirmation of such achievement by the Company's audit committee upon its
approval of the Company's audited financial statements for fiscal year 2009. During 2009, 2008, and 2007 stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock totaled $729,000, $534,000
and $42,000 respectively. The stock-based compensation expense included $229,000 related to the performance based units, granted in the third quarter of 2009.

Our
revenue is principally comprised of our BLC 6000 series system product line, ONTs, cabinets and related accessories. Revenue decreased by $15.2 million, or 15.3%, to
$84.0 million in 2009 as compared to revenue of $99.3 million in 2008. We believe the decrease in revenue was primarily due to the global economic recession and credit contraction and a
continued delay in customer purchase decisions as they evaluate the timing and availability of potential government broadband stimulus funds. We cannot predict the timing or financial impact, if any,
of government stimulus programs.

In
2009, we continued to experience a slow down in customer bookings activity. In the short term we expect that booking activity may vary depending on our customer's ability to make
capital investments using their own funds, access to credit facilities or other loan program funds.

Revenue
increased by $24.2 million or 32% to $99.3 million in 2008 as compared to revenue of $75.1 million in 2007. The increase in our revenue was due to higher
sales of copper product as well as revenue from newly released GPON products in mid-2008. We believe our revenues in the second half of 2007 were also adversely affected by our
then-pending audit committee investigation and financial restatement.

We
expect that current global economic conditions will likely have an adverse impact on our business in 2010, in particular as carriers evaluate capital spending budgets due to the
uncertainty as to the approval, timing and amount of stimulus awards as well as a potentially difficult economic environment.

Cost
of revenue includes the cost of products shipped for which revenue was recognized, warranty provision, re-work costs, manufacturing overhead, provisions for obsolete
inventory and the cost of post-sales support.

Cost
of revenue decreased by $6.9 million, or 12.1%, to $50.0 million in 2009 as compared to $56.9 million in 2008. This decrease in cost of revenue in 2009 was
primarily attributable to decreased revenue. Our gross margin in 2009 was 40% as compared to 43% in 2008. The decrease in gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to higher volumes of certain
lower margin products and increased warranty related costs.

Cost
of revenue increased by $10.8 million, or 23%, to $56.9 million in 2008 as compared to $46.1 million in 2007. This increase in cost of revenue in 2008 was
primarily attributable to increased sales of our products and an inventory provision for certain product components. Our gross margin in

50

Table of Contents

2008
was 43% as compared to 39% in 2007. The increase was attributable to lower product and warranty costs.

We
expect that our gross margin will vary from quarter-to-quarter due in part to product mix, average selling price changes and manufacturing cost changes,
including warranty related costs. To the extent that we introduce new products into the market, we anticipate our gross margin will fluctuate primarily as a function of our product mix. For example,
our gross margin percentages were 42%, 38%, 41% and 40% in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009, respectively. To the extent that cabinets and other lower-margin products
represent an increased percentage of our total revenue in any period, it will tend to reduce our gross margin percentage.

Research
and product-development consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, prototype component and assembly costs, third-party design services and consulting
costs, and other costs related to design, development, and testing of our products. Research and product-development costs are expensed as incurred, except for capital expenditures, which are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally two to five years.

Research
and product-development expenses decreased by $2.9 million, or 15.1%, to $16.1 million in 2009 as compared to $19.0 million in 2008. The decrease in
research and product-development expenses was primarily attributable to decreased development expenses and lower compensation expenses attributed to a reduction in work force, offset partially by an
increase in stock-based compensation expense, primarily related to the grant of performance based equity incentive awards.

Research
and product-development expenses increased by $5.7 million, or 42%, to $19.0 million in 2008 as compared to $13.3 million in 2007. The increase in research
and product-development expenses was attributable to increased personnel and related costs, certain costs related to the Terawave Communications, Inc. asset purchase and expenses associated
with the development of our GPON equipment.

We
currently expect research and product-development expenses to be largely consistent with current expense levels in future periods.

Sales
and marketing expenses increased by $5.2 million, or 36%, to $19.9 million in 2008 as compared to $14.7 million in 2007. This increase was primarily due to
increased headcount, commissions and marketing events.

We
currently expect sales and marketing expenses to be largely consistent with current expense levels in future periods, but may vary with levels of customer bookings.

expenses decreased by $2.9 million, or 27%, to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower personnel and related expense, lower legal fees due to insurance reimbursements, offset partially by an increase in stock-based
compensation expense, primarily related to the grant of performance based equity incentive awards.

General
and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 9%, to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $11.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2007. General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower legal and accounting fees related to the audit committee review.

We
currently expect general and administrative expenses to be consistent with current expense levels in future periods.

Purchase of in-process research and development(in thousands, except percentages)

In
2009 and 2008, we did not incur charges for in-process research and development. During 2007, we recorded charges for purchased in-process research and
development of $2.2 million in October 2007 associated with our purchase of certain assets of Terawave Communications, Inc.



On May 7, 2009, we implemented a reduction-in-force that resulted in the termination of approximately
10% of our work-force. Affected employees were notified on May 7, 2009, and we, substantially completed the reduction-in-force during the second quarter of
2009. The purpose of the workforce reduction was to reduce costs, streamline operations, and improve the cost structure in light of the current economic and operating environment. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, we recorded approximately $213,000 of restructuring charges related to termination benefits in connection with the reduction in force.

Effective
as of the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we began recording the fair value of our stock-based compensation in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB
Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718, stock-based compensation. We anticipate that the stock-based compensation expense calculated under FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718 will
continue to have a material effect on our consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-based
compensation expenses increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 32%, to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to approximately
$3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This net increase was primarily attributable to the stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million related to the performance
based equity incentive awards granted during the third quarter of 2009 and additional grants of options and awards during the year.

Stock-based
compensation expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 46%, to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately
$2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This net increase is attributable to the grants of additional options and awards offset by an increase in the forfeiture rate used in
our stock-based compensation expense calculations.

We
anticipate that the stock-based compensation expense will continue to have a material effect on our consolidated statement of operations.

For income tax purposes, we consider our annual income and the utilization of our net operating losses and tax credits carryforwards among other factors. For the
years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we recorded income tax benefit of $206,000, and income tax expense of $256,000 and 56,000, respectively, for federal and state income taxes. The
decrease in the income tax expense is primarily attributable to federal refundable tax credits and net operating loss carrybacks available under a change in the tax law during the fourth quarter of
2009.



As of December 31, 2009, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $113.7 million and $88.8 million
to offset federal and state future taxable income, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will expire beginning in 2019 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we have
federal research tax credits of $1.6 million and state research tax credits of $2.0 million. The federal research tax credits will expire beginning in 2022. State credits may be carried
forward indefinitely.

We
believe an ownership change may have occurred, as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which could result in the forfeiture of a significant portion of
our net operating
loss and credit carryforwards. We are currently analyzing whether a change occurred and the related impact on our gross deferred tax assets, if any. As our analysis is not complete, the impact to
gross deferred tax assets is uncertain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, some of which are outside of our control. We expect our cash used in operations
to decrease in 2010 at a lesser rate as compared to 2009 in part due to cost control initiatives implemented in 2009. We believe that existing cash and investment securities and anticipated cash flows
from operations will be sufficient to support our current operating plan for the next twelve months. However, these cash flow and operating results expectations are subject to numerous assumptions,
many of which may not actually occur. If some or all of such assumptions do not occur, our results may be substantially lower or different than expected, and our cash resources could be reduced faster
than currently anticipated. Such assumptions include, without limitation, assumptions that new product introductions will occur on a timely basis and achieve market acceptance, that customer testing
and service provider deployments occur as anticipated, that our customer base will continue to grow, that we do not experience an adverse result in existing litigation or new legal proceedings, and
that our industry's competitive landscape will not change adversely. For more information about the risks relating to our business, please read carefully the section of this report entitled "Risk
Factors".

A
significant portion of our cash balances are restricted to secure performance bonds which we are sometimes required to post in connection with customer purchases under the RUS program
of the United States Department of Agriculture. Restricted cash totaled approximately $5.7 million and $13.8 million as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We
expect to devote capital resources to continue our research and development efforts, to support our sales and marketing, and to fund general corporate activities. We may also consider
making strategic investments in complementary products or technologies, which could require further cash expenditures.



As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39.3 million, restricted cash of $5.7 million,
stockholders' equity of $52.9 million, and working capital of $45.5 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $30.4 million, restricted cash of $13.8 million,
stockholders' equity of

$57.2 million,
and working capital of $48.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase in our cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2008 to December 31,
2009 was primarily related to a decrease in restricted cash. During 2009 we incurred costs of approximately $1.1 million for the purchase of property and equipment.

Net
cash provided by operating activities for 2009 was $1.4 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million in 2008. The sum of our net loss and
certain non-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and, accounts receivable reserves and inventory reserves resulted in an outflow of $1.4 million
compared to an inflow of $0.1 million in the 2008 period. The overall impact of change in certain operating assets and liabilities on total operating cash flows resulted in a cash inflow of
$2.8 million in the 2009 period compared to a cash outflow of $2.0 million in the 2008 period.

Net
cash provided by investing activities was $7.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $6.0 million
2008. Cash provided by investing activities for the year ended 2009, was primarily due to a net decrease of $8.1 million in restricted cash the result of net cash released in connection with
our RUS contract performance bonds. Net cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million, in the year ended December 31, 2008, due to $5.0 million for purchases of property and
equipment of which $3.1 million was for our facility in Fremont, California.

Cash
provided by financing activities was $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $0.6 million in 2008, mainly due to proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, of $0.6 million and exercise of stock options of $0.2 million offset by payments of payroll taxes for vested
restricted stock units of $0.2 million, as compared to proceeds of $0.6 million, mainly due to the issuance of common stock under the employee stock purchase plan or ESPP, proceeds of
$69,000 for the exercise of stock options, offset by payments of payroll taxes for vested restricted stock units of $85,000 for the same period in 2008.



As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30.4 million, restricted cash of $13.8 million,
stockholders' equity of $57.2 million, and working capital of $48.0 million, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $37.6 million, restricted cash of $13.1 million,
stockholders' equity of $60.3 million, and working capital of $51.8 million as of December 31, 2007. The reduction in our cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2007
to December 31, 2008 was primarily related to our net loss from operations for 2008, including leasehold improvements, equipment purchases and purchases of performance bonds. During 2008 we
incurred costs of approximately $2.2 million for leasehold improvements and purchase of property and equipment of $2.8 million, primarily for our office in Fremont, California.

Net
cash used in operating activities for 2008 was $1.9 million compared to $1.2 million in 2007. The sum of our net loss and certain non-cash expenses, such as
stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and impairment of intangibles related to the developed technologies and customer relationships, accounts receivable reserves and
inventory reserves resulted in an inflow of $0.1 million compared to an outflow of $4.1 million in the 2007 period. The overall impact of change in certain operating assets and
liabilities on total operating cash flows resulted in a cash outflow of $2.0 million in the 2008 period compared to a cash inflow of $2.9 million in the 2007 period.

Net
cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $20.9 million in 2007. Cash used in investing activities for
the year ended 2008, was primarily due to $5.0 million for purchases of property and equipment of which $3.1 million was for our facility in Fremont, California, compared to
$8.0 million for purchases of property and equipment which was primarily leasehold improvements for our corporate headquarters in Santa Barbara,

during 2007, an increase of $0.7 million in restricted cash related to performance bonds and increase of $0.3 million in intangible assets.

Cash
provided by financing activities was $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $0.5 million in 2007, mainly due to proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under the ESPP of $0.6 million and exercise of stock options of $69,000 offset by payments of payroll taxes for vested restricted stock units of $85,000 as compared to
proceeds of $0.5 million for exercise of options and the issuance of common stock under the ESPP for the same period in 2007.



Working capital decreased to $45.5 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $48.0 million at December 31,
2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to our net loss and decreases in receivables, inventories partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenue.



Working capital decreased to $48.0 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $51.8 million at December 31,
2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to our net loss, leasehold improvements and purchase of equipment for our facility in Fremont, and purchases of performance bonds for our RUS contracts.

We
believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to finance our operations over the next 12 months. Although we believe these funds will be sufficient to maintain
and expand our operations in accordance with our business strategy, we may need additional funds in the future. If we are unable to raise additional financing when and if needed, we may be required to
reduce certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

We
lease our facilities and certain assets under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2015, excluding various renewal options.

The
following table summarizes our minimum purchase commitment to our contract manufacturers and our minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases as of
December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

(1)Under
the terms of our agreement with our contract manufacturer, we issue purchase orders for the production of our products. We are required to place
orders in advance with our contract manufacturer to meet estimated sales demands. The agreement includes certain lead-time and cancellation provisions. Future amounts payable to the
contract manufacturer will vary based on the level of purchase requirements.


The unrecognized tax liability of approximately $9.3 million related to unrecognized tax benefits is not included in the table above due to the
significant tax net loss and research tax credit carry forward position of the Company. If some or all of the unrecognized tax benefit liability became a recognized

tax
liability, it would result in reduction of these net operating losses and tax credits and would not result in the use of cash to satisfy the tax liability.



As of December 31, 2009, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements, other than the operating leases and
certain purchase commitments described above.



We enter into indemnification provisions under our agreements with other companies in our ordinary course of business, typically with
our contractors, customers, and landlords. In connection with our 2006 public offering, we also agreed to indemnify the underwriters in the offering and certain stockholders who sold shares as part of
the offering with respect to certain liabilities arising from the offering. Under these provisions, we generally indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by
the indemnified party as a result of our activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party's activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions generally survive
termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is generally unlimited. As of
December 31, 2009, we did not have any material accrued liability relating to the defense of lawsuits or settlement of claims related to these indemnification agreements. As of
December 31, 2009, we had reimbursed Norwest Venture Partners for indemnification expenses in the aggregate amount of $176,460. As of December 31, 2009, we had reimbursed U.S. Venture
Partners for indemnification expenses in the aggregate amount of $240,050.

Other Matters

From time to time, we are subject to threats of litigation or actual litigation in the ordinary course of business, some of which may
be material. We believe that, except as described above, there are no currently pending matters that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material effect on our business or that would not be
covered by our existing liability insurance maintained by us.



In September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, released a final consensus on Issue No. 08-1, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Issue No. 08-1 enables entities to separately account for individual deliverables for many more revenue arrangements. Issue
No. 08-1 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. EITF 08-1 was codified into the Revenue Recognition
topic of the FASB ASC. We elected to early adopt this EITF Issue and the adoption of this issue did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In
September 2009, the EITF released a final consensus on a new revenue recognition standard, Issue No. 09-3, "Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position
97-2 to Certain Arrangements That Contain Software Elements" (EITF 09- 3). EITF 09-3 amends the scope of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition to exclude tangible products that include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality. This
Issue shall be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier application is permitted
as of the beginning of the company's fiscal year provided the company has not previously issued financial statements for any period within that year. An entity shall not elect early application of
this Issue unless it also elects early application of Issue 08-1. We elected to early adopt this EITF Issue and the

adoption
of this issue did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 168").
SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, except for the rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal
level of authority. The Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard only
impacts the references to the accounting standards. References to accounting standards in this Form 10-K now refer to the relevant ASC topic.

In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events." SFAS No. 165 was issued in order to establish principles and requirements for reviewing and reporting
subsequent events and requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated and whether the date corresponds with the time at which the financial statements were available for
issue (as defined) or were issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS No. 165 was codified in the ASC topic on Subsequent
Events.

In
April 2009, the FASB issued three related Staff Positions: (i) FSP 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, or FSP 157-4, (ii) SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, or FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2, and
(iii) SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or FSP 107 and APB 28-1, which are
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under
SFAS 157 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. If we were to conclude that there has been a significant
decrease in the volume
and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation to normal market activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and we may conclude that a change in valuation
technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2 modify the requirements for recognizing
other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revise the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in
determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP 107 and APB 28-1 enhance the disclosure of instruments under the scope of
SFAS 157 for both interim and annual periods. The above staff positions did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The above staff
positions and ABP 28-1 were codified in the ASC topic on Financial Instruments.

In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, or
FSP 141R-1. FSP 141R-1 amends the provisions in Statement 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures
for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the
initial recognition and measurement criteria in Statement 141R and instead carries forward most of the provisions in SFAS 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 is
effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. We believe the adoption of SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted, but the effect on us will depend upon our
level of acquisition activity. FAS 141R was codified in the ASC topic on Business Combinations.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Because our portfolio of cash equivalents is of a short-term nature, we are not subject to significant market price risk
related to investments. However, our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of taxable and short-term U.S. interest rates. Our exposure to market risk due to changes
in the general level of United States interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents. We generally invest our surplus cash balances in money-market funds with original or remaining
contractual maturities of less than 90 days. The primary objective of our investment activities is the preservation of principal while minimizing risk. We do not hold financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes. We do not use any derivatives or similar instruments to manage our interest rate risk.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our consolidated financial statements and schedule required by Regulation S-X are provided beginning on
page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There were no disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm on accounting matters or financial disclosure.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2009, which we refer to as the Evaluation Date or the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The
purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether as of the Evaluation Date our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the
information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

Based
on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. 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.

Table of Contents

Management
has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 using the criteria set forth in the Internal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on our
evaluation, management has concluded that we maintained effective control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the COSO criteria.

The
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by SingerLewak LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, as stated in their report included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Remediation of Prior Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The company's management previously identified and disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating
to revenue recognition. 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.

We
have been actively engaged during 2008 and 2009 in the implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weakness in controls over the revenue process that was in
existence at December 31, 2007. These remediation efforts, outlined below, were specifically designed to address the material weakness previously identified and reported.

The
company's restatement, announced on October 16, 2007, was attributed to errors in revenue accounting that resulted from deficiencies in our internal controls, in particular
resulting from internal communication failures between our finance and sales departments, a lack of clear understanding by, and communication to, sales personnel of technical accounting rules,
understaffed finance functions, and on occasion, failure of finance personnel to apply technical revenue recognition rules correctly.

During
2008, the company's management continued to implement steps from the remediation plan prescribed by the Audit Committee to address our material weakness. All remediation steps
were implemented at December 31, 2008. The effectiveness of these remediation steps was monitored and tested throughout 2009. This testing indicated that the strength, reliability and
sustainability of our internal control relating to the sales generating and revenue process improved due to the operating effectiveness of actions taken.

In
addition, we remediated three specific control deficiencies during the first two quarters of 2009: (i) we increased segregation of duties within our Order Management group,
limiting individual system access right to ensure that no single individual had the ability to book, ship, and invoice orders; (ii) we provided for a more comprehensive process related to the
issuance of and approval requirements for credit memos; and (iii) we improved consistency in the documentation and retention of written approvals for special pricing terms. We validated the
operating effectiveness of internal controls addressing these three deficiencies through testing conducted throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

Finally,
in the first three quarters of 2009, we undertook a company-wide initiative to take a holistic view at its quote-to-cash process in an effort
to improve business processes and corresponding internal controls in a collaborative and sustainable manner. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we verified that enhancements and improvements to internal
controls, primarily preventive controls that occur early in the sales process, implemented as part of this initiative were providing expected benefits and operating effectively.

Based
upon the significant actions taken in 2008 and 2009 and the testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of the controls, the company's management has concluded the material
weakness relating to revenue recognition no longer existed as of December 31, 2009.

Our management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in
all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
our company will have been detected.



Changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting have been described above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Occam Networks, Inc. and Subsidiary

We
have audited Occam Networks, Inc. and Subsidiary's (collectively, the "Company") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria
established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The
Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.

We
conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

In
our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Occam Networks, Inc.
and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2009 and our report dated February 23, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Occam Networks, Inc. and Subsidiary
Santa Barbara, California

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Occam Networks, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively, the "Company") as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position Occam Networks, Inc. and subsidiary as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Occam Networks, Inc. and subsidiary's internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 23, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Occam Network, Inc. and subsidiary's internal control over financial
reporting.

OCCAM NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        December 31, 2009

Note 1. Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation

Occam Networks, Inc. ("Occam," the "Company," "we" or "us") develops markets and supports innovative broadband access products designed to enable telecom service providers to
offer bundled voice, video and high speed internet, or Triple Play, services over both copper and fiber optic networks. The Company's core product line is the Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC), an
integrated hardware and software platform that uses Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet technologies to increase the capacity of local access networks, enabling the delivery of advanced Triple Play
services. The Company also offers a family of Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) for fiber optic networks, remote terminal cabinets, and professional services.

The
Company is the successor corporation of the May 2002 merger of Occam Networks, Inc., a private California corporation, with Accelerated Networks, Inc., a
publicly-traded Delaware corporation. Occam Networks was incorporated in California in July 1999. Accelerated Networks was incorporated in California in October 1996 under the name "Accelerated
Networks, Inc." and was reincorporated in Delaware in June 2000. The May 2002 merger of these two entities was structured as a reverse merger transaction in which Accelerated Networks succeeded
to the business and assets of Occam Networks. In connection with the merger, Accelerated Networks changed its name to Occam Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Unless the context otherwise
requires, references to "Occam Networks,"
"Occam" or the "Company" refer to Occam Networks, Inc. as a Delaware corporation and include the predecessor businesses of Occam, the California corporation, and Accelerated Networks. As
required by applicable accounting rules, financial statements, data, and information for periods prior to May 2002 are those of Occam, the California corporation. Occam, as a predecessor business or
corporation, is sometimes referred to as "Occam CA."

On
February 23, 2006, the Company announced a 1-for-40 reverse stock split which was previously authorized at its annual meeting of stockholders held on
June 21, 2005. The record date for the reverse split was March 10, 2006, and Occam began trading on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB) on a split-adjusted basis on Monday,
March 13, 2006 under the new symbol "OCNW." As a result of the reverse split, the conversion ratio of Series A-2 preferred stock was proportionately adjusted, decreasing the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series A-2 preferred stock from approximately 90.91 shares of common stock to 2.27273 shares of common
stock. The share information in the accompanying financial statements has been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse stock split.

In
October 2007, the Company purchased certain assets of Terawave Communications, Inc. and assumed certain liabilities for $5.3 million. The transaction was recorded as an
asset purchase. The significant items purchased were in-process research and development, intellectual property and current assets.

The
Company has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Form 10-K.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Period End through December 31, 2006Through the end of fiscal 2006, Occam reported its financial results based with each fiscal year and quarter ending on the
last Sunday of the applicable calendar year and quarter. Beginning on January 1, 2007, Occam adopted a fiscal reporting schedule

based
on calendar period ends. Accordingly, the actual period end dates for 2005 and 2006 were December 25 and December 31, respectively.

ReclassificationCertain reclassifications have been made to our prior year balances in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents consist of investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Due to the
short-term nature of these
investments, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents reported in the consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair value.

Restricted CashAt December 31, 2009, restricted cash consisted of $5.7 million, most of which is related to performance bonds required
for RUS funded contracts.

Financial InstrumentsDue to their short-term nature and a relatively stable interest rate environment the carrying values of financial
instruments, which include accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, deferred sales and accrued expenses approximate fair values at December 31, 2009 and 2008. The carrying value of
notes payable approximates fair value as they bear interest commensurate with their risk.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsTrade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.
Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in
existing accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical write-off experience, current customer information and other relevant data. Occam
reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts regularly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts were $23,000 and $122,000, respectively.

InventoriesInventories are goods held for sales in the normal course of business. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market. The inventory balance is segregated between raw materials, work in process ("WIP") and finished goods. Raw materials are low level components, many of which are
purchased from vendors, WIP is partially assembled products and finished goods are products that are ready to be shipped to end customers. Consideration is given to inventory shipped and received near
the end of a period and the transaction is recorded when transfer of title occurs. Management regularly evaluates inventory for obsolescence and adjusts to net realizable value based on inventory that
is obsolete or in excess of current demand.

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance
and
repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated

useful
lives of the assets, generally three to five years for furniture and fixtures, two to three years for computer hardware and two to five years for software. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the shorter of the lease term or the remaining useful economic life. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Long-Lived AssetsThe Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The Company identified no such impairment losses as of December 31, 2009.

IntangiblesIntangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or when events or
circumstances
indicate that impairment may have occurred. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated finite lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Company identified no such impairment losses as of December 31, 2009.

WarrantyThe Company provides standard warranties with the sale of products generally for up to 5 years from the date of shipment. The
estimated cost of providing the product warranty is recorded at the time of shipment. The Company maintains product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the
quality of its suppliers. The Company quantifies and records an estimate for warranty related costs based on the Company's actual history, projected return and failure rates and current repair costs.

Deferred RentDeferred rent consist primarily of a $1.6 million cash lease incentive and is
being amortized over the life of the lease as an offset to rent expense. Lease incentive is accounted for in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 840, "Accounting for Leases."



Occam generally recognizes revenue under SAB 104 in the period when all of the requirements of SAB 104 have been
met:



The
Company enters into transactions with value-added resellers where the resellers may not have the ability to pay for these sales independent of payment to them by the
end-user. In these cases, the Company does not recognize revenue until payment has been received, provided the remaining revenue recognition criteria are met.

OCCAM NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The
Company sells hardware products that contain embedded operating system software, which the Company has determined are "incidental" to the hardware products. Revenue is recognized for
these products under SAB 104. The Company has one minor software network management product which is a stand alone product not essential to the functionality of other products that the Company
sells. Revenue is recognized for this product in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 985, Software. The amount of sales of this product and the related revenue recognized to
date by the Company have been immaterial. In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition to remove tangible products
containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential functionality from the scope of industry specific software revenue
recognition guidance. The Company elected to early adopt this accounting guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions.

In
addition to the aforementioned general policy, the Company enters into transactions that represent multiple-element arrangements, which may include training and post-sales
technical support and maintenance to our customers as needed to assist them in installation or use of our products, and makes provisions for these costs in the periods of sale. Multiple-element
arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be separated into more than one unit of accounting. A multiple-element arrangement is separated into more than one unit of accounting if all of
the following criteria are met:



If
these criteria are not met, then revenue is deferred until such criteria are met or until the period(s) over which the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is objective and
reliable evidence of fair value for all units of accounting in an arrangement, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit's relative fair value.
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the accounting standards to allow the use of best estimate of selling price in addition to vendor specific objective evidence
("VSOE') and TPE for determining the selling price of a deliverable. A vendor is now required to use its best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined.
The Company elected to early adopt this accounting guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 on a prospective basis for
applicable transactions. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have an impact on any quarterly period in 2009.

When
the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses "estimated selling price" ("ESP") in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective
of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. ESP is generally used for new products, and it applies to a
small proportion of the Company's arrangements with multiple deliverables. The Company determines ESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited
to,geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices.

December 31, 2009

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In
certain circumstances, the Company enters into arrangements with customers who receive financing support in the form of long-term low interest rate loans from the United
States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, or RUS. The terms of the RUS contracts provide that in certain instances transfer of title of the Company's products does not occur until
customer acceptance, however the Company waited for final cash payment on these contracts before recognizing revenue. Effective January 1, 2009 based on historical experience, the Company has
determined that revenue recognition on RUS contracts is appropriate upon customer acceptance, given the remaining revenue recognition criteria, such as collectability, under SAB 104 have been
met. As a result the Company recognized approximately $6.1 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on customer acceptance, not final cash payment.

Costs for the development of new softwareThe Company accounts for the development of new software and substantial enhancements to existing
software,
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 985-20, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". Costs for the
development of new software and substantial enhancements to existing software are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional development
costs would be capitalized. The Company believes its current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrent with the product launch, accordingly, no costs have been capitalized to
date.

Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal UseThe Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained in
accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 350-40. The Company has incurred no significant costs in 2009 related to computer software developed or obtained for internal
use.

Net Loss Per ShareBasic and diluted net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period
by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share does not consider potential common shares because their effect is
antidilutive. Potential common shares are incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants.

Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationBeginning on January 1, 2006 and November 7, 2006, Occam began accounting for stock options and
the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) shares, respectively, under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718, which requires recognition of the fair value of equity-based
compensation. The fair value of stock options and ESPP shares was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This methodology requires the use of subjective assumptions in implementing
FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718, including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. The fair value of equity-based compensation awards, less
estimated forfeitures, is amortized over the service period of the award, and Occam has elected to use the straight-line method. Occam makes quarterly assessments of the adequacy of the
tax credit pool to determine if there are any deficiencies that require recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the implementation of FASB Accounting Standard Codification
Topic 718, Occam accounted for stock options under the provisions of APB 25 and made pro forma footnote disclosures as required by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting For Stock-Based
CompensationTransition and Disclosurean Amendment of FASB Accounting Standard Codification

Topic 718".
Pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share disclosed in the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements were estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation
model.

Warrants Issued with Notes Payable, Preferred Stock or Lines of CreditIn accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic
470-20, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants," the Company allocates the proceeds received between the note payable or preferred stock and warrants
based on their relative fair values. The resulting discount recorded on the note payable is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note. The fair value of warrants issued in connection with
lines of credit are recorded as other assets and amortized to interest expense over the term of the line of credit agreement.

Income TaxesIncome taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Research and Product DevelopmentResearch and product development costs are expensed as incurred.

Segment InformationFASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 280, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
establishes standards for the way companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. Based on the manner in which management analyzes its business, the Company has determined that its business consists of one operating segment.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the
reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, there were no
differences between the Company's net income (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss).

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Occam Networks, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



In September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force released a final consensus on Issue No. 08-1, Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables. Issue No. 08-1 enables entities to separately account for individual deliverables for many more revenue arrangements. Issue No. 08-1
is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. EITF 08-1 was codified into the Revenue
Recognition topic of the FASB ASC. We early adopted this EITF Issue and the adoption of this issue did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

December 31, 2009

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In
September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force released a final consensus on a new revenue recognition standard, Issue No. 09-3, "Applicability of AICPA Statement
of Position 97-2 to Certain Arrangements That Contain Software Elements" (EITF 09- 3). EITF 09-3 amends the scope of AICPA Statement of Position
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition to exclude tangible products that include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product's essential
functionality. This Issue shall be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier
application is permitted as of the beginning of the company's fiscal year provided the company has not previously issued financial statements for any period within that year. An entity shall not elect
early application of this Issue unless it also elects early application of Issue 08-1. We early adopted this EITF Issue and the adoption of this issue did not have an impact on our
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 168").
SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, except for the rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal
level of authority. The Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard only
impacts the references to the accounting standards. References to accounting standards in this Form 10-K now refer to the relevant ASC topic.

In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events." SFAS No. 165 was issued in order to establish principles and requirements for reviewing and reporting
subsequent events and requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated and whether the date corresponds with the time at which the financial statements were available for
issue (as defined) or were issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS No. 165 was codified in the ASC topic on Subsequent
Events.

In
April 2009, the FASB issued three related Staff Positions: (i) FSP 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability
have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, or FSP 157-4, (ii) SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, or FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2, and
(iii) SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or FSP 107 and APB 28-1, which are
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under
SFAS 157 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. If we were to conclude that there has been a significant
decrease in the volume and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation to normal market activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and we may conclude that a
change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2 modify the requirements for recognizing
other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revise the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in
determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP 107 and APB 28-1 enhance the disclosure of instruments under the scope of
SFAS 157 for both interim and annual

periods.
The above staff positions did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The above staff positions and ABP 28-1 were
codified in the ASC topic on Financial Instruments

In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, or
FSP 141R-1. FSP 141R-1 amends the provisions in Statement 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures
for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including
the initial recognition and measurement criteria in Statement 141R and instead carries forward most of the provisions in SFAS 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 is
effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. We believe the adoption of SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted, but the effect on us will depend upon our
level of acquisition activity. FAS 141R was codified in the ASC topic on Business Combinations.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1Observable
inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2Include
other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3Unobservable
inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The
fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In
accordance with this guidance, we measure our cash equivalents at fair value. Our cash equivalents are classified within Level 1. Cash equivalents are valued primarily using
quoted market prices utilizing market observable inputs. At December 31, 2009, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value of our
money market funds was $33.8 million at December 31, 2009.

Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted, the FASB staff position that delayed the guidance on fair value measurements for non financial assets and non financial
liabilities. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

From years 2000 to 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of certain
financing arrangements. These warrants have expired on various dates between 2005 through 2006 and the corresponding warrant related charges were reclassified to additional paid in capital common
stock. All warrants are immediately exercisable. The following table summarizes the warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2009:

In April 1997, Accelerated Networks adopted the 1997 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan ("1997 Plan"), which was replaced by the 2000
Stock Incentive Plan ("2000 Plan"). No further grants may be made under the 2000 Plan. The 2000 Plan provided for the issuance of non-qualified or incentive stock options to employees,
non-employee members of the board and consultants. The exercise price per share for both non-qualified and incentive stock options was not to be less than 100% of the fair market value per
share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant (110% if granted to an employee who owned 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company). Plan administrator has the
discretion to determine the vesting schedule. Options may be either immediately exercisable or in installments, but generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant. In the
event the holder ceases to be employed by the Company, all unvested options terminate and all vested options may be exercised within a specified period following termination. Unvested shares that are
purchased under options that allow for early exercise are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price if they remain unvested at the time the holder ceases to be employed by
the Company. In general, options expire ten years from the date of grant.

The
2000 Plan also provided for shares of common stock to be issued directly through either the immediate purchase of shares or as a bonus for services rendered. The purchase price per
share was

not
to be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Vesting terms were at the discretion of the plan administrator and determined at the
date of issuance. In the event the holder ceased to be employed by the Company, any unvested shares were subject to repurchase by the Company at the original purchase price. No such shares of common
stock were issued under the 2000 Plan.

During
2000, Occam CA adopted the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan provides for the grant of incentive or nonqualified stock options to officers, employees, directors, and independent
contractors or agents of Occam CA. The exercise price of incentive stock options was not to be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant (110% if granted to an
employee who owns 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of stock), and the exercise price of non-qualified stock options was not to be less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares on
the date of grant (110% if granted to an employee who owns 10% or more of the voting prower of all classes of stock). The board was authorized to administer the 1999 Plan and establish the stock
option terms, including the grant price and vesting period. Options granted to employees were generally exercisable upon grant; subject to an ongoing repurchase right of the Company matching the
vesting period. The options expired ten years after the date of grant. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, no further stock option grants may be made from the 1999 Plan subsequent to the
May 14, 2002 merger date.

Occam's
board of directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan") in May 2006, which was approved by the Company's stockholders on August 14, 2006 and amended on
November 29, 2007 and April 1, 2009. The 2000 Plan was in effect until the 2006 Plan became effective in November 2006. The 2006 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options,
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to the Company's employees and any parent and subsidiary corporations' employees, and for the grant of
nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to its employees, directors and consultants and parent and
subsidiary corporations' employees and consultants.

The
Company has reserved a total of 5,074,689 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan provides for annual increases in the number of
shares available for issuance thereunder on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with fiscal 2010, equal to the lesser of:



The
compensation committee of the Company's board of directors or a committee of the board administers the 2006 Plan and is responsible for administering all of the Company's equity
compensation plans. In the case of options intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the committee must consist
of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m).

Note 9. Capital Stock and Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

The
administrator has the power to determine the terms of the awards, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each award, the exercisability of the awards and the
form of consideration payable upon exercise.

The
administrator determines the exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan, which, subject to certain exceptions, must at least be equal to the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of grant, except that with respect to any participant who owns 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of the Company's outstanding stock as of the grant
date, the exercise price must equal at least 110% of fair market value on the grant date. The administrator determines the term of all options; provided, that the term of any option may not exceed ten
years and the term of any option granted to a participant who owns 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of the Company's stock as of the grant date may not exceed five years.

No
optionee may be granted an option to purchase more than 150,000 shares in any fiscal year, except that, in connection with his or her initial service, an optionee may be granted an
additional option to purchase up to 150,000 shares.

After
termination of the employment of an optionee, he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in the option agreement, unless otherwise extended by the plan
administrator. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months.
In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months. However, no option may be exercised after the expiration of its term.

Stock
appreciation rights may be granted under the 2006 Plan. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the Company's common
stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. The administrator determines the terms of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay the
increased appreciation in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock, or in some combination thereof. The exercise price of a stock appreciation right may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant and the term of a stock appreciation right may not exceed ten years. Unless otherwise provided, stock appreciation rights generally expire under the same rules that apply to
stock options.

Restricted
stock may be granted under the 2006 Plan. The administrator determines the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, the vesting schedule of such award,
and other terms and conditions that govern the award. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate. For example, the administrator may condition vesting
on the achievement of specific performance goals. Until the shares of restricted stock vest, they are subject to the Company's right of repurchase or to forfeiture.

Restricted
stock units may be granted under the 2006 Plan. Restricted stock units are awards of bookkeeping units representing an unsecured right to receive stock at a future date or
upon a future event that can be paid out in installments or on a deferred basis. The administrator determines the terms and conditions of restricted stock units including the vesting criteria and the
form and timing of payment.

Performance
units and performance shares may be granted under the 2006 Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that result in a payment to a participant only if
performance goals

established
by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator establishes organizational or individual performance goals in its discretion, which, depending on the
extent to which they are met, determine the number and/or the value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to the participant. Performance units have an initial dollar value
established by the administrator at the grant date. Performance shares have an initial value equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Payment of performance units and
performance shares to the participant may be made in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock with equivalent value, or in some combination, as determined by the administrator.

On
November 29, 2007, the Company's compensation committee recommended and the board of directors approved an amendment to our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to eliminate the
automatic grant of stock options to new directors at the time of initial election and to continuing directors on an annual
basis thereafter. In lieu of the previous program, the board of directors approved a policy providing for the initial grant to newly elected non-employee directors of shares of restricted
stock with an approximate value of $80,000 based on the closing price of Occam common stock over the fifteen trading days prior to and including the date of approval of the grant. Initial grants would
vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the date of grant. Follow-on grants with an approximate value of $40,000, to be made on annual basis to continuing directors,
would be valued on the same basis and would vest in two equal annual installments on each anniversary of the date of grant. On May 7, 2009, the Company's compensation committee recommended and
the board of directors approved an amendment to our 2006 Equity Incentive, which removed from the 2006 Plan the provision providing the automatic stock option grants to outside directors.

The
2006 Plan provides that in the event of a "change in control," the successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary will assume or substitute an equivalent award for each
outstanding award. If there is no assumption or substitution of 2006 outstanding awards, the administrator will provide notice to the recipient that he or she has the right to exercise the option and
stock appreciation right as to all of the shares subject to the award. All awards will terminate upon the expiration of the period of time the administrator provides in the notice.

The
2006 Plan will automatically terminate in 2016, unless the Company terminates it sooner. In addition, the Company's board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or
terminate the 2006 Plan, provided such action does not impair the rights of any participant and subject to any requisite stockholder approval.

As
of December 31, 2009 there were 5.1 million shares authorized under the Company's stock option plans of which there were 1.5 million shares available under
current option plan for future

In 2000, Accelerated Networks adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees
may elect to contribute up to 15% of cash earnings through payroll deductions. The accumulated deductions are applied to the purchase of common shares on each semi-annual purchase date, as
defined. The purchase price per share is equal to 85% of the fair market value on the participant's entry date into the offering period or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value on the
semi-annual purchase date. Under the terms of the ESPP, 106,500 shares have been reserved for issuance. In April 2001, employee contributions and stock issuances under the ESPP were
terminated, but approximately 104,750 common shares continue to be reserved for any re-instatement of the ESPP.

The
Company's board of directors adopted the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2006 ESPP") in May 2006, which was approved by the Company's stockholders on August 14, 2006.

In
March 2008, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2006 ESPP. The amendment increased the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that an eligible employee
may purchase during each offering period from 1,000 shares to 5,000 shares. In connection

with
the 2006 ESPP, 126,582 shares were issued on February 17, 2009 and 77,588 shares were issued on August 17, 2009. Both of these 2006 ESPP issuances were at a purchase price of $2.80.

As
of December 31, 2009, a total of 400,746 shares of the Company's common stock were available for sale under the 2006 ESPP. In addition, the 2006 ESPP provides for annual
increases in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2006 ESPP on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with fiscal 2007, equal to the lesser of:



The
Company's compensation committee is responsible for administering the 2006 ESPP.

All
of the Company's employees are eligible to participate if they are customarily employed by us or any participating subsidiary for at least 15 hours per week and more than
5 months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not participate in the plan if such employee at the start of the offering period would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of the Company's capital stock.

The
2006 ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, and provides for consecutive, non-overlapping 6-month offering
periods. The offering periods will generally start on the first trading day on or after February 15 and August 15 of each year.

The
2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation, which includes a participant's
straight time gross earnings, commissions, overtime and shift premiums, but excludes payments for incentive compensation, bonuses and other compensation. A participant may purchase a maximum of 5,000
shares of common stock during a 6-month offering period. In addition, no participant may participate at a rate which would enable the participant to purchase stock more than $25,000 in
value, measured at the beginning of the offering period, in any calendar year.

Amounts
deducted and accumulated for each participant are used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the end of each 6-month offering period. The purchase price
is 85% of the fair market value of its common stock on the first day of each trading period or the first exercise date at the end of the offering period, whichever is lower. Participants may end their
participation at any time during an offering period, and will be reimbursed their payroll deductions to such date. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with the Company.

In
the event of a "change of control," a successor corporation may assume or substitute each outstanding purchase right. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for
the outstanding purchase rights under the 2006 ESPP, the offering period then in progress will be shortened, and a new end date will be set.

The
board of directors has the authority to amend or terminate the 2006 ESPP, except that, subject to certain exceptions described in the plan, no such action may adversely affect any
outstanding rights to purchase stock under the plan.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718, "Stock-based compensation,", effective January 1, 2006. FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718,
requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. The Company recognizes the stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees,
which generally equals the vesting period of the stock-based award. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company followed APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock
compensation. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method for adopting FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718.

Stock-based
compensation expense, net of adjustments, is included in the associated expense categories as follows (in thousands):

As
of December 31, 2009, total unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock options after accounting for estimated forfeitures was
$2.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the remaining vesting period of each grant, up to the next 48 months. The stock-based compensation expense included
$0.8 million related to the performance based equity incentive awards, granted in the third quarter of 2009.

Upon
adoption of FASB Codification Topic 718, we selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based
awards. The use of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of extensive actual employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of complex assumptions including expected volatility,
risk-free interest rate, forfeitures, and expected dividends. The assumptions used to value options granted are as follows:

volatility.
We estimate the expected life of options granted based on historical exercise and post-vesting cancellation patterns with consideration of our industry peers of similar size
with similar option vesting periods. Our analysis of stock price volatility and option lives involves management's best estimates at the time of determination. FASB Accounting Standard Codification
Topic 718, also requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of options or stock units that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply an estimated forfeiture rate that is
derived from historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in
future periods.

As
of December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $113.7 million and $88.8 million to offset federal and state future
taxable income, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will expire beginning in 2019 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company has federal research tax credits of
$1.6 million and state research tax credits of $2.0 million. The federal research tax credits will expire beginning in 2022. State credits may be carried forward indefinitely.

The
Company believes an ownership change may have occurred, as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which could result in the forfeiture of a significant
portion of its net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company is currently analyzing whether a change occurred and the related impact on its gross deferred tax assets, if any. As the
Company's analysis is not complete, the impact to its gross deferred tax assets is uncertain.

The
net deferred tax assets have been offset with a full valuation allowance. FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740-10 "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires that a
valuation allowance be established to reduce a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Based on management's assessment of
all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the uncertainty regarding the
magnitude of the Section 382 and 383 limitations as well as uncertainty concerning future taxable income.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes Disclosure

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation ASC 740-10, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes" (FIN 48). This interpretation clarifies the criteria for recognizing income tax benefits under FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic, 740-10, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", and requires additional disclosures about uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740-10 the financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position is dependent upon the
benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that
is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the consolidated liability for unrecognized income tax
benefits during the tax year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:

The
total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company's effective tax rate is $79,000 for both the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008. The Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The liability for uncertain income taxes as of December 31,
2009 includes interest and penalty of $1,000.

The
Company's only major tax jurisdictions are the United States and various state jurisdictions. The tax years 1997 through 2009 remain open and subject to examination by the
appropriate governmental agencies in the U.S. due to tax carryforward attributes.

FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic718 Tax Disclosure

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position ASC 718- , "Transition
Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards." The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in this FASB Staff Position for calculating
the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. The alternative transition method includes a simplified method to establish the beginning
balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized
subsequent to the adoption of FASB Accounting
Standard Codification Topic 718. The tax expense of $13,000 and a benefit of $5,000 and $17,000 was realized upon exercise of stock options during the year ended December 31, 2009,
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The
Company's accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located primarily in the United States. The Company extends differing levels of credit to customers and
generally does not require collateral. Financial information required to be disclosed in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 280 is included on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. In addition, as the Company's assets are primarily located in the United States and not allocated to any specific region, it does not produce reports for, or measure the performance of its
geographic regions based on any asset-based metrics.

Legal Proceedings



On April 26, 2007 and May 16, 2007, two putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court
for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of its officers. The complaints allege that the defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 by making false and misleading statements and omissions relating to the Company's financial statements and internal controls with respect to revenue
recognition. The complaints seek, on behalf of persons who purchased the Company's common stock during the period from May 2, 2006 to April 17, 2007, damages of an unspecified amount.

On
July 30, 2007, Judge Christina A. Snyder consolidated these actions into a single action, appointed NECA-IBEW Pension Fund (The Decatur Plan) as lead plaintiff, and
approved its selection of lead counsel. On November 16, 2007, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint. This consolidated complaint adds as defendants certain of the Company's current and
former directors and officers, the Company's current and former outside auditors, the lead underwriter of the Company's secondary public offering in November 2006, and two venture capital firms who
were early investors in the Company. The consolidated complaint alleges that defendants violated sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by making false and misleading statements and omissions relating to the
Company's financial statements and internal controls with respect to revenue recognition that required restatement. The consolidated complaint seeks, on behalf of persons who purchased, he Company's
common stock during the period from April 29, 2004 to October 15, 2007, damages of an unspecified amount.

On
January 25, 2008, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On July 1, 2008, Judge Snyder issued an order granting in part and denying in part
defendants' motions. This order dismissed all claims against certain of the Company's current and former directors, the 20A claim in its entirety, the section 10(b) claim against the auditors
and venture capital firms, and the section 11 claims against the venture capital firms. On July 16, 2008, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint to conform to the Court's
July 1, 2008 order. On August 29, 2008, defendants answered the amended complaint.

On
September 10, 2009 the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle and resolve this stockholder class action lawsuit. On November 2, 2009, the parties
signed and submitted a

formal,
binding stipulation of settlement to the court. The court issued its preliminary approval of the settlement on November 13, 2009. On February 22, 2010, the court held a hearing
dismissing the litigation with prejudice and entered a final judgement. This matter is now resolved as to all defendants. The settlement provides for a payment to the class of $13.945 million,
of which the Company has agreed to contribute $1.7 million and the balance of which will come from the Company's insurers and all other defendants. The Company has recorded a charge of
$1.7 million as a loss on settlement for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, associated with the settlement.



In June 2001, three putative stockholder class action lawsuits were filed against Accelerated Networks, certain of its then officers
and directors and several investment banks that were underwriters of Accelerated Networks' initial public offering. The cases, which were later consolidated, were filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, and the operative Complaint was filed on April 19, 2002. The Complaint was filed on behalf of investors who purchased Accelerated Networks' stock
between June 22, 2000 and December 6, 2000 and alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the 1933 Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) and Rule 10b-5 of
the 1934 Act against one or both of Accelerated Networks and the individual defendants. The claims were based on allegations that the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in Accelerated
Networks' initial public offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases in the aftermarket at
pre-determined prices. Plaintiffs alleged that the prospectus for Accelerated Networks' initial public offering was false and misleading in violation of the securities laws because it did
not disclose these arrangements.

The
Company believes that over three hundred other companies have been named in over three hundred similar lawsuits that have been coordinated with the Company's case. In October 2002,
the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the individual defendants without prejudice. On February 1, 2003 a motion to dismiss filed by the issuer defendants was heard and the court dismissed the
10(b), 20(a) and rule 10b-5 claims against Occam. On October 13, 2004, the Court certified a class in six of the approximately 300 other nearly identical actions (the "focus"
cases) and noted that the decision was intended to provide guidance to all parties regarding class certification in the remaining cases. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district
court's decision granting class certification in those six cases on December 5, 2006. Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied the petition,
but noted that Plaintiffs could ask the District Court to certify a more narrow class than the one that was rejected.

The
parties in the approximately 300 coordinated cases, including the Company's, reached a settlement. On October 5, 2009, the Court approved the settlement and certified a
settlement class. Six notices of appeal of the Second Circuit of the Court's approval of the settlement have been filed. Three objectors to the settlement who filed a notice of appeal also filed a
permission to file an appeal on the basis that the Court purportedly abused its discretion concerning the class certification on the grounds that it was broader than the class rejected by the Second
Circuit Appeals Court. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the petition. The Court has not yet ruled on the petition and the briefing on the appeals has not yet commenced. The case remains open pending
the outcome of the court ruling on the appeals.

Due

In late 2007, the Company received a letter from Vanessa Simmonds, a putative shareholder, demanding that the Company investigate and
prosecute a claim for alleged short-swing trading in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78p(b), by the underwriter of the
Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and certain unidentified directors, officers and shareholders of the Company (then known as Accelerated Networks). The Company evaluated the demand and
declined to prosecute the claim. On October 12, 2007, the putative shareholder commenced a civil lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Credit Suisse
Group, the lead underwriter of the Company IPO, alleging violations of Section 16(b). The complaint alleges that the combined number of shares of the Company common stock beneficially owned by
the lead underwriter and certain unnamed officers, directors, and principal shareholders exceeded ten percent of its outstanding common stock from the date of Occam's IPO on June 23, 2000,
through at least June 22, 2001. It further alleges that those entities and individuals were thus subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) and the short-swing trading
prohibition of Section 16(b), and failed to comply with those provisions. The complaint seeks to recover from the lead underwriter any "short-swing profits" obtained by it in violation of
Section 16(b). The Company was named as a nominal defendant in the action, but has no liability for the asserted claims. None of the directors or officers of the Company are named as defendants
in this action.

On
October 29, 2007, the case was reassigned to Judge James L. Robart along with fifty-four other Section 16(b) cases seeking recovery of short-swing profits
from underwriters in connection with various IPOs. The Underwriters and Issuers have filed a motion to
dismiss the case and reply briefs have been filed. The Court heard oral argument on January 19, 2009 from all parties. On March 12, 2009, the Court dismissed the 16 (b) complaint
against the issuer defendants including Occam on both jurisdictional and statute of limitation grounds. On March 31, 2009, the Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal and their opening brief on
August 26, 2009. The Issuers including Occam and the underwriters filed their responses on October 2, 2009. Each party's reply briefs have been filed as of November 17, 2009. To
date the Appellate Court for the Ninth Circuit has not set a date of oral argument.

Due
to the inherent uncertainties of threatened litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. The Company has not recorded any accruals related to
the demand letters or Section 16(b) litigation because the Company expects any resulting resolution to be covered by its insurance policies.



From time to time, the Company are subject to threats of litigation or actual litigation in the ordinary course of business, some of
which may be material. The Company believes that, except as described above, there are no currently pending matters that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material effect on the Company's
business or that would not be covered by our existing liability insurance maintained by the Company.

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business,
typically with its contractors, customers, value-added resellers, and landlords. In connection with its 2006 offering, the Company also agreed to indemnify the underwriters in the offering and certain
stockholders who sold shares as part of the offering with respect to certain liabilities arising from the offering. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and hold harmless the
indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of its activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party's activities under the agreement. These
indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification
provisions is generally unlimited. As of December 31,
2009, the Company did not have any material accrued liability relating to the defense of lawsuits or settlement of claims related to these indemnification agreements. As of December 31, 2009,
the Company had reimbursed Norwest Venture Partners for indemnification expenses in the aggregate amount of $176,460. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had also reimbursed U.S. Venture
Partners for indemnification expenses in the aggregate amount of $240,050.

Note 14. Restructuring Charges

On May 7, 2009, the Company implemented a reduction-in-force that resulted in the termination of approximately 10% of its work-force. Affected
employees were notified on May 7, 2009, and the Company, substantially completed the reduction-in-force by the end of the second quarter of 2009. The purpose of the
workforce reduction was to reduce costs, streamline operations, and improve the cost structure in light of the current economic and operating environment.

During
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded approximately $213,000 of restructuring charges related to termination benefits in connection with the reduction-
in- force. A summary of the Company's accrued restructuring expenses is as follows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Note 16. 401(k) Plan

The Company has a defined contribution plan under which employees may defer compensation pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants in the plan may
contribute between 1% and 100% of their pay, subject to the limitations placed by the IRS. The Company, at its discretion, may match a portion of the amounts contributed by the employee. To date, the
Company has made no matching contributions to the 401(k) plan.
