As is our normal practice, we will only take questions from analysts and institutional investors during the Q&amp;A session. However, we also offer other shareholders the opportunity to submit questions in advance of our earnings call. Instructions regarding such submissions are included in our press release announcing the date and time of our call.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">We are pleased with our strong start to fiscal year 2018. During our first quarter, we achieved significant top<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">-line growth with a 20.2% increase in net sales and an 8.7% increase in gross profit when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We set aggressive growth targets for this year and continue to make meaningful steps to drive sales and achieve gross profit growth. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">We continue to execute on our strategies<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&#9472;accelerating sales and marketing initiatives in targeted markets, taking steps to increase operational efficiencies, and strengthening our team with strategic new hires. Our efforts to develop solutions and capture new opportunities to meet our customers&#39; evolving needs also continue.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">We<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;"> are encouraged by increased demand in many of our specialty markets that had been under pressure in recent years. In the military market, for example, we are seeing increases as a result of market improvements, as well as increases due to our new product development efforts. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Our sales order backlog and forward load was high at the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">&#9472;particularly for our fiber optic cable products. Generally, OCC&#39;s consolidated sales order backlog and forward load varies throughout the year between approximately 3 or 4 weeks of net sales, or approximately $4 million to $5 million. At the end of February 2018, our sales order backlog and forward load was $19 million. As a result, at this time, we believe it is likely that we will again see a significant increase in net sales during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, when compared to the same period last year.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">We continue to be mindful of our expenses as we make appropriate investments in personnel and initiatives that we believe are necessary for future growth. We are confident that we are positioning OCC for success and we are focused on building on this important momentum to further improve our top and bottom line results through execution of our strategic plan.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Thank you, Neil. Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 were $17.6 million, an increase of 20.2% compared to net sales of $14.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We increased net sales in our specialty markets in the first quarter of fiscal 2018<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, compared to the same period last year, particularly in our military and wireless carrier markets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in net sales in our enterprise markets. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Net sales to customers outside of the United States increased 32.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, compared to the same period last year, and net sales to customers in the United States increased 17.3%, compared to the same period last year.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Turning to gross profit. Gross profit was $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, an increase of 8.7% compared to $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross profit margin, or gross profit as a percentage of net sales, was 29.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, compared to 32.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Our gross profit margin percentages are heavily dependent upon product mix on a quarterly basis. Gross profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was negatively impacted by a shift in product mix toward the sale of certain lower margin fiber optic cable products in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the same period in fiscal 2017.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">SG&amp;A expenses increased 7% to $5.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year. SG&amp;A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 31.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, compared to 35.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in SG&amp;A expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increases in employee related costs, including new hires selectively added to accomplish strategic objectives, and increases in commissions due primarily to the increase in net sales. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">OCC recorded a net loss of $410,000<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to a net loss of $616,000, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. </font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">As of January 31, 2018, we had outstanding borrowings of $5.9 million on our revolving credit note and $1.1 million in available credit. We also had outstanding loan balances of $6.6 million under our real estate term loan.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">As Neil mentioned, our sales order backlog and forward load at the end of February 2018 was $19 million<font style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;">, or approximately 14 to 15 weeks of net sales on a trailing 12-month basis. As a result of our significant backlog and forward load and timing differences between required payments on purchases and materials and receipts on shipments related to these orders, we&#39;re in the process of working with our bank to increase the availability on our Revolver to accommodate what we believe will be short-term increased working capital requirements.</font></p>

Question for you regarding the backlog. Can you categorize the backlog in terms of potential profit margin? Is it lower priced -- lower margin, higher margin? That would help.</font></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Yes, it&#39;s -- generally we wouldn&#39;t provide that -- a lot of detail, but we do have a lot of backlog in products that tend to be a little bit of a lower mix. We make a whole series of products, of course, in fiber optic cable, copper and fiber optic connectivity products, both for the enterprise and the harsh environment market. And part of our fiber optic cable mix includes cables that are hybrid cables that include power -- for power purposes. And some of those cables include a more substantial element of copper. And so we do expect, in certain circumstances, our margins to be lower on those sorts of products since the copper price tends to be more of a pass-through component. With respect to our backlog, I don&#39;t have any specific numbers to know what our margins will be like on a going-forward basis at this time. But I can tell you that our backlog does contain some sales and orders that fall into that category of being lower margin.</p>
