Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

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.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

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.

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.

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.
