Management
Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Fluidigm second quarter 2014 earnings conference call. At the close of market today, Fluidigm released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. During this call, we will review our results and provide commentary on recent commercial activity and market trends. Following these comments, we will host a Q&A session. Presenting for Fluidigm today will be Gajus Worthington, our President and CEO; and Vikram Jog, our Chief Financial Officer. The call is being recorded and the audio portion will be archived in the Investors section of our website. During the call and subsequent Q&A session, we will be discussing plans and projections for our business, future financial results and market trends and opportunities, including, among others, statements regarding expectations for the single-cell biology in production genomics markets, including future market conditions, and our prospects and growth opportunities in such markets, our future product launches and other business strategies, expectations regarding future sales, revenue, opportunities, objectives and financial performance of our proteomics product line, and current estimates of 2014 revenue growth, GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense and capital spending. These statements are forward-looking and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from currently anticipated events or results such as risks relating to the integration of our recently acquired proteomics product line with our business and operations, the execution of marketing and sales strategies for our genomics and proteomics product line, intellectual property rights, the launch of new products and the manufacturing or supply of our products. Information on these and additional risks, uncertainties and other information affecting our business and operating results are contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014, and our other filings with the SEC. Additional information will also be set forth in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to be filed with the SEC. We advise investors to review these risk factors carefully. Fluidigm disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as maybe required by law. During the call, we will also present certain financial information on a non-GAAP basis. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in a table accompanying our earnings release, which can be found in the Investors section of our website. With that, I will now turn the call over to Gajus.
