Item 8.01  
Other Events.  

In May of 2008, Lumera Corporation (the “Company”) discontinued operations relating to Plexera Bioscience, LLC (“Plexera”) that was previously presented as a separate reportable segment for accounting purposes. Due to this change, the Company is required to provide updated disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS No. 144”), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , including Items 6 (Selected Financial Data), 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data), and 15 (Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The disposal of assets which constitute a component of an entity must be accounted for as discontinued operations; accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Plexera have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and classified as assets held for sale and current liabilities of disposal group held for sale. As a matter of convenience, we have provided a complete restatement of the updated items, incorporating the necessary changes. Accordingly, the Company has included as exhibits to this current report on Form 8-K updated consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes, selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, which have all been restated to reflect Plexera as a discontinued operation. All other items of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 remain unchanged. Please refer to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K for periods subsequent to December 31, 2007 for further information.
