    <b>Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.</b>
  </font>
</p>

<p>
  <font size="2">
    On November 11, 2010, Clearfield, Inc. issued a press release announcing the results of its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. A copy of that press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.

<b>Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.</b>
</font>
</p>

<p>
<font size="2">
On October 22, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a cash bonus program for fiscal year 2010 (the "2010 Bonus Program"). Among the employees that participated in the 2010 Bonus Program are the Company's executive officers: Cheryl P. Beranek, Chief Executive Officer; John P. Hill, Chief Operating Officer; and Bruce G. Blackey, Chief Financial Officer.
<br><br>
The performance goal under the 2010 Bonus Program for the executive officers consisted of the Company's net income from continuing operations, excluding taxes, interest income or expense, income, gain or loss from the rental of the Company's Aberdeen, South Dakota property and any bonus amounts ("ICO") fiscal year 2010.
<br><br>
On November 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined the bonus pool amounts available under the 2010 Bonus Program based upon ICO for fiscal year 2010, which met the minimum amount set by the Compensation Committee, but was less than the target amount. Amounts from the bonus pool created by the 2010 Bonus Program were allocated by the Company's management among eligible non-executive officer employees.  On November 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee approved the following payouts to the Company's executive officers from the amounts remaining in the bonus pool: Ms. Beranek, $48,500; Mr. Hill, $30,000 and Mr. Blackey, $14,560.

The fiscal 2009 fourth quarter net income included an income tax benefit of $2,464,000 as a result of a reduction of the valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets.&#xA0;Income before this income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $378,000.&#xA0;Income before income tax-exp
ense in the fourth quarter of 2010 was 864,000.</p><p>

Gross profit was $9,138,000 for fiscal year 2010 in comparison to $8,871,000 for the prior year, an increase of 3%.

	"While the weak economy dragged down our efforts during the first half of the year, the Company demonstrated a strong re-bound with record revenue and net income in fourth quarter. Combining our fourth quarter success and our year-end backlog establishes a very positive trend line for the year ahead," commented Cheri Beranek, president and CEO of Clearfield. "As stated in quarterly earnings reports during the past year, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act slowed business in the first half of our fiscal year but now represents a significant growth opportunity for Clearfield. Over the summer months, moneys have begun to flow, and Clearfield customers are beginning to deploy their networks. Among some of the early "Stimulus Award" winners are Rural Telephone, one of the largest FTTp deployments funded under the federal program and a long-standing Clearfield customer."</p><p>
	"The introduction of new and innovative product technologies, such as the Clearview xPAK, has launched Clearfield into new application environments, including meeting the fiber connectivity needs of cellular back-haul and business-class services among municipal/utility, wireless and cable TV providers. Technology partnerships, such as the launch of pushable fiber from Miniflex into the U.S. marketplace, expands the product suite we can provide to our current and prospective customers," continued Beranek. "Looking ahead, you can expect to see a continued focus from Clearfield to deliver next generation products that continue to reduce our customers' operating costs of delivering fiber connectivity."</p><p align="left">
