§ Crystalline Si: Conversion efficiency of 12-14% at module level
 § Pros:                           Predominant technology
                                                  Most versatile for all applications
 § Cons:                               Si shortage (at least until late of 2008)
                                                 Relatively high price: ~$3.5-3.8/W
§ Thin Film: Conversion efficiency of 5-7% at module level
 § Pros:                        ♦ Most cost effective ~$2/W
                                                   Easy to scale up in production
 § Cons:                               ♦ Low efficiency of surface area/land use
    Environmental concerns with some materials (Cadmium Telluride)
§ Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV): efficiency of 25-30% at module level
 § Pros:   More cost effective: ~$3.6/W now and <$2/W in 3 years
                            Most efficient land use - more power generated per area
                            Less equipment and material requirement for production scale up
 § Cons:                                  Suitable for commercial, agricultural, and power utility applications
    More efficient for direct illumination than diffused light

 § Provides instant access to Tier-1 telecom customers for expanded product portfolio (e.g.
 Fujitsu, Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel)
§ Strong synergy with EMCORE’s infrastructure and products
 § Combined with internal laser and modulator capability, EMCORE will be one of the few
 vertically integrated telecom fiber optics module suppliers
 § Ability to amortize existing fab and contract manufacturer infrastructure costs to improve
 gross margin
§ Clear financial benefits from incremental scale of Intel business
 § Projected to add approximately $36M revenue to EMCORE’s FY08 (assuming closing by
 end of February), and $85M projection by FY09
