Thank you. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is Georges speaking. I’m with Deborah, our CFO, and we are very pleased to welcome you to this conference call presenting our Q1 2013 results. Let me start my quick introduction and I will go later on with more detail following our go-to-market strategy. First of all I would like to say that our results this quarter were overall consistent with our guidance. The long sales cycle from sampling to revenue for our LTE solution has made this period of low revenue predictable; yet the fact that this was expected has made it no less frustrating for management and for shareholders. The good news is that our visibility is gradually improving. In addition to the previous design win we’ve got in the past, we have added this quarter four new designs and some should impact our revenues later this year. The other will impact obviously in 2014. Also we expect to see a significant improvement in revenue for the second half of 2013 compared to the low level in the first half. Regardless of exactly when the revenues are achieved in the next several quarters, the new design wins demonstrate that we are clearly gaining traction. In addition to these design wins, we have a number of opportunities still pending for which we are well positioned and making good progress. We are also pleased to see the overall pipeline of opportunities expanding. This is another strong indicator for the future of our company. Specifically we see a good number of RFUs coming from large manufacturers – I’m talking here about companies that are household names in the tablet, PC, and consumer electronic arena – and all of them are asking for single-mode LTE solutions. Obviously, bear in mind that with typical design…

Hello, everyone. I’d like to add some details about our Q1 financial results and the financial outlook. Revenues in Q1 were $2.3 million for the quarter, which is a sequential decrease of 26% quarter-on-quarter and a 44% decrease compared to Q1 2012. We shipped about 100,000 units in the quarter compared to about 300,000 units in Q4. Our largest customer, a new customer, represented 37% of revenues in the quarter and this reflected license and service revenues related to designs for the US public safety market. We had two other customers, both long-time existing customers, above 10% in the quarter. One represented 18% of revenue and the other represented 11%. We realized an overall IFRS gross margin of 31.3%. This was better than the 9.4% we reported in Q4 due to revenue mix but below the 57.4% gross margin in Q1 2012, primarily due to the impact of fixed costs on a lower revenue base. Our variable cost margin continues to be above 50%. Operating expenses were $10.0 million in Q1 compared to $10.1 million in Q4, and compared to $11.4 million a year ago. Our Q1 operating expenses included a provision for doubtful accounts receivable of $770,000. Operating loss in Q1, which includes stock-based compensation expense, was $9.3 million compared to an operating loss of $9.8 million in Q4 and an operating loss of $9.0 million in Q1 2012. To facilitate comparisons we have also reported our results on a non-IFRS basis which excludes stock-based compensation expense from operating profit or loss. Non-IFRS operating loss was $8.8 million in Q1 2013 compared to operating losses of $9.7 million in Q4 and $7.7 million in Q1 2012. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.24 in Q1 compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.29 in Q4 and…

So just to conclude this session, let me highlight and conclude it with two points that I would really like you to take from this call and in opening this for questions. First, again, our market for single mode LTE is real and it’s happening, and this is completely in line with our strategy – and this is what we insisted many times when we had one-on-one discussions with you guys. More than 20% of the LTE market will be single mode LTE and this represents around 700 million units, 800 million units in the coming five years. Our execution and our product quality are delivering results. Recently as you’ve seen we added in this quarter four new design wins, and it’s most important there to remember that those design wins, the four of them, are happening in developed countries – the US, Japan, and Korea. This obviously gives us better visibility and more confidence in our future, and obviously some of those design wins and the previous design wins we got in the past, we still believe that the y should generate revenue in the second half of the year and help ramp the revenue as we expect in the second half of this year. Obviously you need to keep in mind that the sales cycle is long, but even if everything is going fine on our side and we are going in the right direction in a real market and a sizable market for a company the size of Sequans, it still takes always longer than expected in terms of time and this requires from time to time more patience from shareholders and management before we take this company back to profitability. So I would like to thank you for all your listening time and turn this now to the Operator to open the question session.

(Operator instructions.) We’ll go to Quinn Bolton with Needham & Company. Please go ahead. N. Quinn Bolton – Needham & Company: Good morning, Georges and Deborah. A few questions: first, Georges, you went through a number of opportunities in the developed markets. I was wondering if you could give us a little bit more detail on the applications for the machine-to-machine design wins as well as public radio, specifically on the M2M? Can you tell us what types of consumer electronics or what types of applications you’re seeing interest on the M2M side? Thanks.

Yeah, Quinn, thanks for the question. Obviously you imagine the sensitivity of those announcements, and I appreciate in advance not to make all these announcements because as you see otherwise we could get a press release and be much more specific on this. But we want really to give you guidelines of what’s happening on the company’s side in terms of design wins. More specific I tend to say we spoke in the US about an opportunity, one which is M2M and to consumer. Essentially this addresses both of them, and you’re seeing big traction and a big push more specifically in Verizon – and it’s really public information – that you check what the Verizon guys are doing with the coverage that they are achieving mid this year. They are moving really for full coverage LTE, enabling for any device to get an LTE connection. And this is really the strategy that’s going together as you know with the data share plan they’re opening, and you can get it by paying a little bit of money – you can connect more devices. And all the information we are getting that consumers, this is by the fact obviously that they love to have smartphones where the smartphone is doing everything, but still the behavior of the people is “I would like to have my camera, I would like to have my other device, my game device,” and all those other devices that they would like to see, completely independent of form because a device is always personal. And people don’t like to share them with others. And the one we indicated as a design win is really addressing multi applications I tend to say, between M2M and consumer electronics – addressing those kinds of devices. And when you go also…

And we’ll go to the line of Nick Clare with Baird. Please go ahead. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Good morning, guys, and thanks for letting me ask a question. The first question is just a clarification. I heard the US which you had actually just talked about for the public safety – do you currently have the win for the US consumer space that’s going to be ramping in the second half of this year?

Yes. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: You do, okay. Next question: I look at the revenue breakdown for the just finished quarter, and we actually have licensing and other revenue kind of exceeding product revenue in what looks like the first time from just a quick glance. Moving forward, particularly in Q2, I guess just in terms of looking at this is this something that you would expect to kind of persist where these two now become more equal in terms of size or would you expect to revert back to kind of historical levels?

I think this was really an unusual situation in the quarter. We don’t see fundamentally a change in our business model; we just happened to have a number of deals land in Q1. But I think that overall we would expect it to return to a more traditional split between products and other revenue. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Okay, great. And then lastly, just looking at kind of the guidance for the quarter and with margins where they’re at, I mean is it safe to assume you guys are going to be looking to kind of cut OPEX meaningfully throughout the remainder of the year?

Today we’re planning to keep OPEX fairly flat. Where we have more flexibility is on the timing of capital expenditures, so we may play with the timing of those somewhat depending on the confirmation we have on the ramp in revenues. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Okay, so then even for Q2 OPEX you would expect it to be flattish?

Yes, more or less. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Okay, great. Thank you very much.

We’ll go to the line of Aaron Martin with AIGH Investment Partners. Please go ahead. Aaron Martin – AIGH Investment Partners: Hi guys. I appreciate the color you gave us and the detail on the four design wins for this quarter. Can you give some quantification and perhaps some color on the design wins that you had prior to this quarter that are kind of contributing to our confidence in the second half of this year’s ramp?

Sure. I really need to go back, and prior to this – and essentially it’s better to look at this in terms of market segment. Where we are completely ready in terms of design wins, I mean not only ready at Sequans but our customers have product and are shipping as you know is China Mobile and this is the emerging market. These two segments, we worked on them since some time ago because this is where we started with our [TDNT] investment and we have customers ready with the product, and those products are softly qualifying with customers – essentially in the emerging market where it’s between India, obviously like Reliance and the other small carriers for emerging BWA guys; and you have as well the China Mobile opportunity where we are well positioned because we have products shipping and even in Q1 in Q4 last year. And those products are ready, just waiting for the new bid to come. So if you want the decision here, it’s really waiting for the operator to put in the new order for our customer to move forward. So in China there is a bid, the second bid expected to happen very honestly from the information I have now really within one or two weeks. The bid should go out and this will be the second bid of the large-scale trial. We have some quantity expected for this bid, not really public but it’s increasing versus the first bid and going towards the direction of the need for this year. In other words, it maybe a second bid or third bid could be complimenting all this to go up to 1 million units in China Mobile. And we know that all depends on our win on those bids and the market share,…

Well, it’s really just a question of being able to absorb our fixed costs which run typically about $500,000 per quarter. So our variable margins are still staying above 50% so we expect to get back to our more traditional around 50% gross margin once we get back closer to sort of the $10 million in terms of revenues. Aaron Martin – AIGH Investment Partners: Okay, thank you.

(Operator instructions.) We have a follow-up from the line of Quinn Bolton with Needham & Company. Please go ahead. N. Quinn Bolton – Needham & Company: Two follow-ons: first Georges, you mentioned the opportunity in Japan and you sort of talked about a dual mode device. And I just wanted to confirm, are you supplying your dual mode radio for that with both the WiMAX and LTE? Or did you say you were providing only the WiMAX portion of that initially?

Yeah, what they said on their call, and again, trying to not give too much specifics to avoid the confidentiality of the deal because it’s an awarded deal and not announced. So it’s a dual mode device, and again a single mode is LTE plus the WiMAX because in Japan you have WiMAX as well. We are in a very good position with our dual mode, if you want, WiMAX LTE product from optimization [customers] and so on, and this is well known that we have a unique position there. And currently our LTE portion is not qualified with this carrier – in other words, in timing for us to have something this year happening this will delay the project if we go with our qualification. So we landed, not without a big fight by the way to win this, to get only the WiMAX portion. So in this deal specifically we’re getting only the WiMAX portion which is a good thing for us in any case. But obviously it’s a major design that I believe will go farther two, three years down the road, not only one shot. We are in a very good position there with the OEM, with the relation and we are engaged obviously in trying to finish the qualification of our LTE that would allow us to come on the next SKU – not this one, because this SKU, whatever it is is only WiMAX. Next SKU we can increase our revenue portion in those kinds of designs because we can add the LTE to the WiMAX that we’ll be selling using our dual mode WiMAX LTE. N. Quinn Bolton – Needham & Company: Thank you. And then just, Deborah, I know you’re not giving any guidance specifically for the second half of the year but I was wondering if you might be able to address the cash burn. I think you said you used approximately $6.4 million of cash for operations in Q1 and with revenue and margins relatively flat in Q2, I’m expecting that cash burn in Q2 is probably about that level. But can you give us any sense of how you see cash burn progressing or decreasing into the second half?

Sure. So at this point we are expecting to maintain our operating expenses at the current level. We don’t expect to see them growing much but we want to maintain the investment and the development going forward. And as I mentioned, as we’re expecting revenues to go up we’re expecting to return closer to our traditional 50% gross margin so that should also be helping us to bring the cash burn down quite significantly in the second half of the year. I also mentioned we do have the flexibility with CAPEX which we’re typically burning $1.5 million to $2.0 million a quarter, so that also gives us some flexibility in terms of the timing on that depending on the visibility we have on the revenue ramp. N. Quinn Bolton – Needham & Company: Okay, great. Thank you.

And we’ll go to Aaron Martin with AIGH. Please go ahead. Aaron Martin – AIGH Investment Partners: Hi, thanks. Just another follow-up question: I know obviously the (inaudible) guys are going all for multimode and for them they’d have to reengineer to go single mode. In terms of some of the smaller guys, are you seeing anything different on the competitive front maybe specifically in regard to this time with this new tender from China Mobile? Is it a slightly different landscape from the first tender? Any thoughts on that?

Well, I believe in terms of competitive, obviously you’re hitting all the big companies who are all trying to build this multimode device to go and compete with the major company leading this space today. And as we see it, we see a little bit more development in China. I tend to say in this tender we should at least have one new guy who I believe was new. He was not already in the first bid if you want, and he will be in. I don’t see more than this for this tender with China Mobile. Aaron Martin – AIGH Investment Partners: In terms of the guys who were involved in the first bid getting a better chipset that can get closer to your specs, are you seeing anything like that?

No, I mean we are not seeing very honestly today at least an official plan or any clarity if one of those big guys is really attacking already the portion that we are working on, which is single mode LTE with optimized devices and so on. We believe they could be attracted on this but we are very confident that even if they have to do it, they need to reshuffle their architecture – otherwise they don’t get a benefit. It’s not just that if they take the [guy] only and just take off the 2G/3G they don’t get any benefit. They will keep their [guy] big and then they cannot land where we are. And obviously on the other side you know, I didn’t insist too much about the technology in my call, and explicitly I focused the call more on business and less on technology. But you should not neglect and forget the fact that Sequans, we are leading with the carrier [regulation] chip which we sampled, we announced this in Q1; and soon we’ll be showing this more in trial mode with carriers as well. So we are really advanced with many, many features where other guys don’t have it, and we see this traction through the carrier easily for us even if we don’t have all the information from the competition. But you know your position with the carrier when you are a small company like Sequans, how much they are pushing to test an advanced feature and you know if you are the only guy who has it or not. It’s very easy to have. So I believe we are really maintaining the lead and I am very comfortable on this, whether in our Streamrich family or Streamlite family. And by the way, we are investing. If you look today, and because of all those questions about the OPEX – if we don’t believe in our future on our side as a management team it would be very easy for us to cut our OPEX and take out, I don’t say 20%, 30% without really hurting short term in terms of positioning. The investment we are doing in the company is really for maintaining our leadership and coming with next generation. So with both Streamrich and Streamlite we maintain our leadership with the single mode LTE and finally we end by being the only company more or less who attacked this market properly. And it’s a question of timing, so maybe timing will be this time it’s going in the right direction – we’ll be lucky and this will turn to more profits for the company. Aaron Martin – AIGH Investment Partners: Okay, thank you.

We’ll go to the line of Hanna Wakim with UBS. Please go ahead. Hanna Wakim – UBS : Thank you. Georges, just a clarification please on the public safety comment handset. You said that will be a major OEM working on a multi-network handset – is that correct? Did I hear that correctly?

Yes, and I mean as you know it’s public safety… I’m trying to avoid giving too much detail but when I say multi-network just to not limit this to just Verizon’s network. In other words, those kinds of devices can work on AT&T and Verizon, but as well the vertical network which is the public network, the public safety network which is the band 14. So they are a quite specialized multi-frequency band which support many things, and in the public safety environment this phone can work everywhere in general. And obviously the major OEM we won, they have a big, big, good position in the US market but they have as well in the international. I didn’t cover it just to avoid making things complicated but those devices can go as well internationally for public safety. Hanna Wakim – UBS : You answered my second part of the question, thank you for answering it.

And we have a follow-up from Nick Clare of Baird. Please go ahead. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Hey guys, just one more quick one on the margin stuff. So for the quarter, I know in the past you’ve given it but looking at your non-IFRS gross margin versus the IFRS one, what were the charges related to COGS for the quarter that would kind of show the difference?

The only differences were related to stock-based compensation, and in this quarter it was about a little bit less than $30,000. So it wasn’t a big difference. Nick Clare – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Got it, thank you.

And we have no further questions at this time.

Okay. So thanks, guys, for attending this call. Thanks for your questions and again, I hope to see you as soon as possible face-to-face and on the next call obviously. Thank you.
