Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the LightPath Technologies Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Conference Call. Please note that, today's event is being recorded.

And at this time, I'd like to turn the floor over to Al Miranda, LightPath's Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead, Al.

Al Miranda

Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. Before we get started, I'd like to remind you that during the course of this conference call, the company will be making a number of forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, involve various risks and uncertainties as discussed in its periodic SEC filings. Although, the company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, any of them can be proven to be inaccurate, and there can be no assurances that the projected results would be realized.

In addition, references may be made to certain financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP. We refer to these as non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to our SEC reports and certain of our press releases, which include reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

Sam will begin today's call with an overview of the business and recent developments for the company. I will then review financial results for the quarter. Following our prepared remarks, there will be a formal question-and-answer session.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Sam Rubin, LightPath's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Sam Rubin

Thank you, Al. Good afternoon to everyone, and welcome to LightPath Technologies' Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Conference Call. Our financial results press release was issued after the market closed today and posted on our corporate website.

The first quarter was highlighted by our acquisition of Visimid and with it the win of a significant project for an imaging engineered solution. Both are significant steps in our strategic shift from a component manufacturer to a value-added solutions provider.

To recap our investors, LightPath has been transitioning in the last few years from a pure component manufacturer focused on being the lowest cost provider to a value-added partner for complete solutions based on optical technologies, who differentiate us on mostly based on technology.
