00:08:27 – Let me give you a brief summary of what our proposed offering is. We intend to offer newly issued shares of POET’s common stock along with warrants to purchase common stock. We expect to price the offering in late October or early November. We plan to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include increasing working capital, further product and business development, as well as potential future business or intellectual property acquisitions in support of our strategic goal.

00:09:05 – One of the areas we will be looking at closely is to get more control of our own destiny from a standpoint of epitaxial wafer supply.
