Thank you, Operator. Good morning and thank you for joining us on our conference call for the third fiscal quarter end of June 27, 2020. My name is Sonal Shah and I'm General Counsel of ARC Restaurants. With me on the call today is Michael Weinstein, our Chairman and CEO, and Anthony Sirica, our Chief Financial Officer, Vinnie Pascal, our Chief Operating Officer. For those of you who have not yet obtained a copy of our press release, It was issued over the news wires yesterday and is available on our website. To review the full text of that press release, along with the associated financial tables, please go to our homepage at www.arcrestaurants.com. Before we begin, however, I'd like to read the Safe Harbor Statement. I need to remind everyone that part of our discussion this morning will include forward-looking statements and that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on them. We refer everyone to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more detailed discussion of the risks that may have a direct bearing on our operating results, performance and financial conditions. I'll now turn the call over to Michael.

Hi, everybody. So I'm going to call on Anthony first to explain What expenses were incurred in the June quarter during the absence of any operations of the restaurants by government closure? So, Anthony, why don't you give us an explanation of that?
