PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why the Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

NeoPhotonics Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by November 12, 2013 and would be deemed to be timely filed if the Company filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC by November 13, 2013, and then filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC by November 18, 2013. However, the Company will not be able to file the Form 10-Q by November 18, 2013, for the reasons discussed below.

The Company’s financial statements for the first quarter of 2013 (previously filed with the SEC in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for such quarter) included a real estate registration tax of approximately $0.5 million as a component of the property, plant and equipment acquired as part of the purchase of NeoPhotonics Semiconductor (formerly the Optical Component Unit of LAPIS Semiconductor). Upon further examination as to the nature and party legally responsible for the payment of the real estate registration tax, the Company has determined the tax should have been expensed as an acquisition cost. As such, the Company has determined that it will need to restate its financial statements for the first and the second quarters of 2013 to reflect this adjustment.

The Company has determined that there is not enough time to complete the necessary close of its accounting records, perform procedures to adjust its financial statements for the item discussed above and reviews by an independent registered public accounting firm, and amend its quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q/As for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, as well as file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, prior to the required filing date. The Company intends to complete its review of the purchase transaction and the work related to the close of its accounting records as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months then ended, and to amend and file its quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q/As and file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 after the completion of the appropriate work and quarterly reviews by an independent registered public accounting firm. The Company has not reached a conclusion and is assessing the impact of this Q1 2013 transaction on its internal control over financial reporting.
