Although indium phosphide crystal growth, as well as the wafer processing areas for gallium arsenide, indium phosphide and germanium were not affected, the processing of all wafer substrates has been halted.
The Company is working with the fire department and other local regulatory agencies to identify the cause of the fire and form a plan to resume production as quickly as possible. Due to the immediacy of this event, no details are yet available. Morris Young, CEO, and Gary Fischer, CFO, traveled to Beijing earlier in March and remain on site at this time to oversee the situation.
As a result of this event, the Company now believes that revenue for the first quarter, ending March 31, 2017, will be in the range of $18.0Mto $18.5M, compared with previous guidance of $19.5M to $20.5M.

The company’s substrate products can be used primarily in fiber optic communications, 3-D sensing, solar cell, lighting display applications and wireless communications.
