Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for participating in today's conference call.

On the call from ACOIA, we have Brian McGilligan, Chief Executive Officer, and Joe Driscoll, Chief Financial Officer. Earlier today, ACOIA released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30th, 2021. A copy of the press release is available on the company's website. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that management will make statements during this call that include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation and Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this call that relate to expectations or predictions of future events, results, or performance are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. For a list and description of the risks and uncertainties associated with the COIA's business, please refer to the risk factor section of our Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2021. We urge you to consider these factors, and you should be aware that these statements should be considered estimates only and are not a guarantee of future performance. This conference call contains time-sensitive information and is accurate only as of the live broadcast today, August 10, 2021. ACOIA disclaims any intention or obligation except as required by law to update or revise any financial projections or forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Brian.
