Thanks, Tom, and thanks, everyone, for joining us today. I'll start with a quick update on our production capacity and then spend a few minutes on our perspective of the markets that we serve. As many of you already know, we ceased production permanently at our Chokchai campus last year as a result of the damage from flooding. April 2012, we completed construction of Pinehurst Building 6, adding 300,000 square feet to our footprint.
This facility, which has approximately 180,000 square feet of manufacturing space, is more than sufficient to house production displaced from Chokchai, while leaving us with additional capacity to ramp wins from new and existing customers through fiscal 2013. Today, buildings 3, 4, 5 and 6 represent about 900,000 total square feet, 456,000 of which is manufacturing space.
Building 6 continues to fill up, with more than 45% of the available manufacturing space now accounted for, while the entire campus utilization stands at a little more than 70%. We believe our current footprint, once fully occupied, will enable us to generate revenue close to, if not in excess of, $1 billion annually.
On a related note, we continue to explore options both inside and outside of Thailand for the location of our next manufacturing facility. We continue to make progress on this initiative and will announce a decision once we have reached a conclusion.
Moving to overall demand trends, little has changed from a quarter ago. We continue to see a measure of stability in the orders from the majority of our customers, but have not yet seen signs of any significant increase into calendar year end. Demand in our laser and sensor segment remains solid with some variation by application. The laser market appears to be lumpy with some of the government and research markets slowing, while the data of China remains solidly mixed. However, we continue to believe that the overall laser market is in the early stages of outsourcing, similar to where we were in optical 4 to 5 years ago and believe the move to outsourcing for this customer set should continue.
In sensors, we have had several quarters of strong growth from our automotive customers. And we are encouraged that signs point to this continuing. We have won some key accounts in this segment and are excited about the opportunities for growth in the coming quarters. Overall, we remain confident that our laser and sensor segment will be a critical driver of our top line growth for the next several years.
In optical communications, demand levels remain relatively stable, but we have not seen an uptick in orders to suggest that overall carrier demand will be above seasonal norms going into calendar year end. We did see some improvement in some of the more advanced components and modules such as tunable XFP, ROADMs and WSS, which is encouraging and we are hopeful that these trends will continue. So demand may still be below where we had hoped it would be back at the beginning of the year, but believe we are well positioned through our customers to benefit from the 100 gig upgrade cycle even as the timing of that cycle remains somewhat unclear.
With that, I would now like to turn the call over to TS, our CFO, for a report on the financial results. TS?
