         Bookham Technology plc (the "Company") reported its results for the
second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2003 on a Form 6-K filed on July
30, 2003. The Company is furnishing on this Form 6-K the results previously
reported for this period, but excluding, among other things, items that
constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G promulgated by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission.



HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 29, 2003

o Revenues in the second quarter 2003 were (pound)21.0 million ($34.9 million),
  substantially equal to revenues in the first quarter 2003, in line with
  management expectations.

o Relationships with Nortel Networks and Marconi Communications remained strong,
  representing 62% and 10% of sales respectively and Huawei, the leading Chinese
  telecom equipment company, became a 10% customer for the first time in the
  quarter.

o Gross margin loss improved by 9% to (15%) in the second quarter 2003 from
  (24%) in the first quarter 2003.

o Cash outflow for the second quarter 2003 was (pound)16.9 million ($28.1
  million), down 5% on the first quarter 2003 ((pound)17.7 million), reflecting
  significantly improved operating cash flow offset by higher spending relating
  to restructuring activities.

o Despite flat revenues, the net loss for the second quarter 2003, under UK
  GAAP, was reduced to (pound)18.1 million ($30.1 million). This included
  exceptional charges of (pound)1.8 million and compares with (pound)25.0
  million in the first quarter 2003, which included exceptional charges of
  (pound)3.0 million. Under US GAAP, the net loss was (pound)17.7 million ($29.4
  million), which included acquisition related and restructuring charges of
  (pound)1.8 million.

OPERATING REVIEW

PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS

While revenues were flat compared to the first quarter, customer engagements
were progressing well in the second quarter, especially in the subsystems and
modules area. The Company has also seen a shift towards the metro area, which
accounted for approximately 45% of the revenues this quarter.

Our relationships with Nortel Networks and Marconi Communications still remain
strong, and in the second quarter 2003, they represented 62% and 10% of sales
respectively. In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that Huawei, the
leading Chinese telecom equipment company, accounted for 10% of revenues this
quarter, for the first time.

Additionally, the Company continues to develop applications of its non-telecom
opportunities and believes it has strong growth prospects in this area,
particularly in the industrial, military and aerospace areas and continues to
support its MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits) business. Assuming
current progress continues, we believe this non-telecom business could represent
between 10% and 20% of total revenues in 2004.

                                       2


RESTRUCTURING

Previously announced cost reduction plans are advancing ahead of schedule. The
consolidation of the Ottawa fab into the Caswell, United Kingdom, facility
should be completed in the third quarter of 2003 which will lead to significant
overhead reductions in the fourth quarter 2003. Initial product qualifications
of chips built at the Caswell site are performing well. The installation of
equipment and facilities at Caswell is now complete, with the required inventory
build on plan.

New cost reduction initiatives are being announced today aimed at reducing
further the Company's overhead structure. As part of this, the Company is
reallocating and reducing its R&D spending in recognition of slower market
growth and pursuing restructuring efforts to reduce manufacturing overheads. In
addition, since the announcement of the downsizing of the ASOC platform in
February 2003, the Company has decided to discontinue its investment in this
platform and will dispose of its wafer fab facility in Milton, United Kingdom.

As a result of the above actions, there will be additional general and
administrative overhead reductions, especially in Milton.

The Company expects these new cost reduction initiatives to impact approximately
160-180 jobs within manufacturing, R&D and support functions globally. Including
previously announced actions, this is expected to result in the Company having
approximately 1500 employees by the fourth quarter.

ACQUISITION

On July 4, 2003 the Company announced the acquisition of the business of Cierra
Photonics, Inc, a company based in Santa Rosa, California. Cierra Photonics
designs and manufactures thin film filters and other components for the fiber
optics telecommunications industry.

Cierra's key technology is a specialised process that results in thin-film
components that have lower costs, high yields and industry-leading optical
performance. This acquisition opens up a large market area where the company has
not been present to date, and allows cost reduction via internal sourcing of
some components used in its amplifiers, and also improves the company's
competitive position in optical subsystems. This acquisition helps growth in
this area and also underscores the Company's commitment to expand its position
in the marketplace.

The consideration for the acquisition comprised the issue to Cierra Photonics of
3.1 million new ordinary shares in Bookham Technology.

                                       3


SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 29, 2003

REVENUES: Revenues in the second quarter of 2003 were (pound)21.0 million ($34.9
million), consistent with the first quarter of 2003 and up 196% from (pound)7.1
million in the second quarter 2002.

OPERATING LOSS (BEFORE EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS) UNDER UK GAAP: The gross loss (loss at
the gross margin level) was (pound)3.2 million ($5.3 million), down from
(pound)5.0 million in the first quarter 2003 and down from (pound)3.9 million in
the second quarter 2002. The gross margin loss has improved to (15%) from (24%)
in the first quarter 2003 and (55%) in the second quarter 2002. This improvement
was mainly the result of reductions in fixed manufacturing overheads.

Operating expenses decreased 14% from the first quarter 2003 to the second
quarter 2003. Within operating expenses, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased by 24% from the first quarter 2003. The single largest factor
leading to this reduction was the decrease in transitional service costs
(primarily for information systems). Research and development expenses decreased
by 2%.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES (EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS FOR UK GAAP): In the second quarter,
net exceptional charges were (pound)1.8 million ($3.0 million). These primarily
related to severance and retention costs in connection with the Milton ASOC
downsizing programmes.

NET LOSS (INCLUDING EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS FOR UK GAAP): Net interest for the second
quarter was (pound)1.9 million ($3.2 million) compared with (pound)0.4 million
in the first quarter 2003. This increase was due to the favourable exchange
movement on the dollar denominated loan notes. The net loss for the second
quarter 2003 was (pound)18.1 million ($30.1 million) and the loss per share was
(pound)0.09 ($0.15).

NET LOSS UNDER US GAAP: Under US GAAP, the net loss for the second quarter 2003
was (pound)17.7 million ($29.4 million) and the loss per share was (pound)0.09
($0.14).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents as of June 29, 2003 were
(pound)70.8 million ($117.5 million) compared with (pound)87.7 million as at
March 30, 2003.

CASH FLOW: Cash outflow for the second quarter 2003 was (pound)16.9 million
($28.1 million), down 5% on the first quarter 2003 ((pound)17.7 million),
reflecting significantly improved operating cash flow offset by higher spending
relating to restructuring activities.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 2003

REVENUES: Revenues for the six months ended June 29, 2003 were (pound)42.1
million ($69.9 million), up 231% compared with (pound)12.7 million in the first
half 2002.

Nortel Networks and Marconi Communications represented 60% and 13% of sales
respectively for the first half 2003.

OPERATING LOSS (BEFORE EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS) UNDER UK GAAP: The gross loss (loss at
the gross margin level) was (pound)8.2 million ($13.6 million) for the first
half 2003, down

                                       4


7% from (pound)8.8 million for the first half 2002. The gross margin loss has
improved to (20%) in the first half 2003 from (69%) in the first half 2002 as a
result of the company's ongoing cost reduction efforts and the allocation of the
overhead costs over a larger revenue base.

Operating expenses increased 27% compared with the first half 2002 due to the
inclusion of the NNOC facilities. As a percentage of revenues, however,
operating expenses declined to 77% over the first six months of 2003, compared
with 202% for the same period in 2002. Within operating expenses, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by 98% from the first half 2002,
reflecting the impact of the increased size of the company and the integration
of acquisitions made in 2002. Research and development expenses decreased by 6%
following the continued reduction in ASOC related research and development.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES (EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS FOR UK GAAP): For the first half 2003,
net exceptional charges were (pound)4.7 million ($7.8 million). These primarily
related to the previously announced restructuring of the company's ASOC
activities.

NET LOSS (INCLUDING EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS) FOR UK GAAP: Net interest for the first
half 2003 was (pound)2.3 million ($3.8 million) down 26% from (pound)3.1 million
in the first half 2002 due to significantly lower cash balances and decreasing
interest rates, offset by favourable exchange movements in the dollar
denominated loan notes. The net loss for the first half 2003 was (pound)43.1
million ($71.6 million) and the loss per share was (pound)0.21 ($0.35).

NET LOSS FOR US GAAP: Under US GAAP, the net loss for the six months ended June
29, 2003 was (pound)42.3 million ($70.2 million) and the loss per share was
(pound)0.21 ($0.34).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents as of June 29, 2003 were
(pound)70.8 million ($117.5 million) compared with (pound)105.4 million as at
December 31, 2002.

CASH FLOW: Cash outflow for the first half 2003 was (pound)34.6 million ($57.4
million) down 4% on the first half 2002.
