“The combination of soft markets for optical components and the Company-s very difficult financial position have produced unacceptable financial results for our fiscal 2012 year ended June 30, and that will continue for at least the next two quarters,” said Peter Dey, Chair of the Board of Enablence. “However, I am confident that actions taken by our team during recent months will position the Company to return to profitability in the future. We have a clear plan to refinance the Company and strengthen our financial position by December 31 of this year. Sunblence, our first joint venture in China, has begun production and achieved initial revenues of optical splitters, and we-ve established a second Chinese joint venture which will develop, manufacture and sell 40- and 100-gigabit optical modules based on our sophisticated TOSA/ROSA sub-assemblies. Key customers have been supportive of us during our difficult financial period, and have responded positively about our financing plan announced on October 15. We expect to strengthen support from our current customer base and identify new opportunities for growth in the next few quarters,” he said.
