Thank you, Ralph, and thanks to everyone for joining us today for our third quarter 2023 earnings call. In light of recent corporate developments, I'd like to start today's discussion by reviewing the changes we've made to our executive management team to transition the company to its next stage of growth. Following that, I will turn it over to Brian to discuss further operational updates. the financial results of the quarter, and our out-year objectives. At the halfway point of the year, the Board of Directors had very carefully assessed the current status of Nuberu. Our cutting-edge blue laser is at the forefront of technological advancements for manufacturing. Since the inception of Nuberu in 2015, our focus was on developing blue lasers to leverage fundamental physics and their high-brightness, high-powered design. I want to thank Mark Zetiker for his tireless efforts over the past years to lay the foundations for the company's success. Looking forward, our primary objectives will revolve around three central elements, strengthening our commercial efforts, scaling our production, and streamlining our administrative functions. These actions are pivotal as we strive to not only ensure customer satisfaction, but also drive shareholder value growth as a public company. As I step into my newly extended role as executive chairman, my key responsibilities will encompass offering strategic guidance during this transformative phase, as well as serving as a valuable resource to Brian in his new position as Chief Executive Officer, in addition to supporting the rest of our highly talented management team. Brian Connelly is an accomplished and respected leader with over 25 years of experience in scaling and operating public companies. The Board of Directors and myself are confident in his abilities to lead New Peru's next phase of growth. I'll now turn the call over to Brian to update you on further operational highlights discuss our third quarter performance, and out your strategic objectives. Brian?
