Thank you, operator. Good morning and thank you for joining us on our conference call for the first quarter ended January 1st, 2022. My name is Christopher Love and I am the secretary of our restaurants. With me on the call today is Michael Weinstein, our chairman and CEO, Anthony Sirica, our chief financial officer, and 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 it's 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 State 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 funds with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more detailed discussion of are the lists 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. I'm going to turn the call over to Anthony just to give you an overview of where we stand in terms of our balance sheet. So, Anthony, you want to take that?
