         intentions which would result in or relate to any of the
         transactions required to be described in subparagraphs (e) through
         (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may,
         depending on the factors set forth above, and other considerations,
         determine to pursue one or more such transactions.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) - (b)

         Furukawa, through FEJH and FEJS, owns 36,183,520 of Exchangable
         Shares, which represents approximately 20.8% of the aggregate
         outstanding Uniphase Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares taken
         together, which is a total of 173,719,245 (113,104,566 Uniphase
         Common Shares and 60,614,679 Exchangeable Shares) as of the most
         recently available filing by the Issuer, a Form 10-Q filed as of
         November 4, 1999. Note that, since the reporting parties filed its
         Schedule 13D on July 16, 1999 with respect to the Issuer, the Issuer
         has split its stock two-for-one. Furukawa, through FEJH and FEJS,
         sold 1,815,000 Exchangeable Shares as of December 1, 1999 in
         accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities
         Act of 1933 at a price of US $218.50 per share.

         Exchangeable Shares are economically equivalent to the Uniphase
         Common Shares. The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable at any time
         at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, for Uniphase
         Common Shares. Uniphase Common Stock has a par value of $0.001 per
         share. To the best knowledge of Furukawa, none of the directors or
         executive officers of Furukawa listed in Item 2 beneficially own any
         Common Stock of the Issuer. Furukawa, through FEJH and FEJS, has the
         shared power to vote and dispose of all 36,183,520 shares.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         SEE Schedule 13D filed on July 16, 1999 by the reporting parties.
