Thanks, Chris, and thank you all for your interest in our company. Today's press release touches on some economic industry headwinds that are impacting revenue in the second half of our fiscal year. but the longer-term outlook for moving image remains very encouraging. While we are seeing some customer project delays, our team's operational and financial discipline enable us to deliver improved bottom-line results and to preserve our cash position in the third quarter. Analysts project the 2025 calendar year domestic box office to rise 9% to approximately $9.7 billion, as the film industry continues to build momentum from past production disruptions and consumers demonstrate enthusiasm for vibrant, out-of-home content experiences. A few recent films have greatly outperformed box office expectations, including Sinners and A Minecraft Movie, with wide audience appeal that should continue to have legs. The summer blockbuster season is anchored by powerful proven franchises, Mission Impossible, Jurassic World, and a solid base of other titles. Consumer enthusiasm for the movie-going experience is a key driver of our growth trajectory as exhibitors turn to moving image to refurbish legacy projectors, servers, audio equipment, lighting, and other elements with cutting-edge technology that keeps audiences attuned and eager to return. while also delivering operational efficiencies to the exhibitor. Our team remains focused on the development of longer-term revenue opportunities. At the same time, we work to deliver the highest levels of expertise, products, and service to our current customer projects. Unfortunately, our business is being impacted by economic and other uncertainties, causing many of our customers to slow their decision-making on needed cinema infrastructure investments, as well as delays in the start times and pace of already approved projects. It's important to note that we have not lost any business from this customer hesitancy. In fact, we have won and completed some great projects from both new and long-term customers. However, some projects within our approved, contracted, and development pipeline have been delayed as customers evaluate the impact of changing government policies on their businesses, as well as anticipated consumer spending trends. Our Q3 2025 revenue of $3.57 million was impacted by these factors, which have also caused us to reduce our Q4 2025 revenue outlook, as several expected projects have slipped into our next fiscal year, starting July 1. Our Q3 2025 revenue included a projection and AV integration at the UCSB Pollock Theater and a complete projection, sound, and screen system build-out for Flix Brewhouse's Albuquerque tramway location, their second location in New Mexico. Our nationwide ability and strong reputation have kept us at the forefront of conversations with all manner of multiplex operators, independent exhibitors, and an expanded base of specialty entertainment venues. Our base of recurring revenue stemming from proprietary products such as pedestals, dimmers, and LED lighting continues to strengthen. Ongoing customer dialogues, including those at CinemaCon last month, reinforce our belief in the ability of MITQ to capture additional market share from new and existing customers for preeminent exhibition technology products and services. Exhibition customers are moving cautiously given the current economic uncertainties, but clearly recognize our experience and value proposition across our array of products and services. There really is no room for mistakes or missed timelines when it comes to the complexity of cinema build-outs or technology refreshes. Our ability to manage remodels, new construction, and complete FF&E packages is a key differentiator. Our 20-plus year track record in delivering these complex projects on time and on budget continues to be a critical factor in winning new business. Selling additional products to our existing customer base is a key part of our plan to increase revenue at the same time we cultivate new relationships. Given our deep understanding of customers' current needs, we are well positioned to recommend complementary products beyond sound systems and projectors that align with their operational goals. This approach not only drives sales, but also enhances our value as a trusted partner. The combination of these revenue strategies along with our operating cost discipline should enable us to make progress on our profitability goals. Consumers look to Sinema today for a high-quality immersive visual and sound experience, and we are proud to play a key role in this modern equipment ecosystem. We're taking the right steps to position the company for future growth and profitability while also managing cash to maintain a sound financial runway that can withstand business headwinds or volatility, as well as to ramp up new product development investments and consider complementary M&A opportunities. As always, we appreciate your trust and investment in our ability to help incorporate the next era of technology upgrades across the exhibition industries and other venues that can benefit from our product offering. Now, I'll turn the call over to Bill Green, our CFO, for some Q3 financial highlights.
