PART III - NARRATIVE
 
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
 
EMCORE Corporation (the “Company”) is evaluating its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”.  The determination as to whether a write-down of long-lived assets is necessary involves significant judgment based on the short-term and long-term projections of the future performance of the reporting unit to which the long-lived assets are attributed.

As a result of the time necessary to complete this evaluation, the Company was unable to complete the filing of its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 by the due date of August 10, 2009, without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company believes that it will be able to file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 within the five-day period provided under Rule 12b-25(b)(2)(ii).

(2)   Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).  ý Yes   ¨ No
 
(3)   Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?   ý Yes   ¨ No
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company continued to experience significant adverse changes in its results of operations (in particular, revenue, gross margin, operating loss, and net loss) when compared to the corresponding periods for the last fiscal year primarily due to adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred approximately $37 million of additional non-cash expenses related to impairment of long-lived assets in its Fiber Optics business segment, primarily related to the Company’s acquisition of Intel Corporation’s fiber optics assets in 2008, and other non-cash charges.  The Company expects to report a fiscal 2009 third quarter net loss of approximately $45 million.
