Thank you, and good morning. This is Wade King, the Chief Financial Officer of CBIS. I would like to thank you for taking time to join us for CBIS second quarter 2023 financial results and corporate update conference call and webcast. Presented with me today is Rory Riggs, our co-founder, chief executive officer, and chairman, and Peter Beetham, co-founder, president, and chief operating officer. The press release detailing these results crossed the wire early this morning and is available on our company's website, SEVIS.com. Before we begin the conference call, I'd like to remind everyone that statements made on the call and webcast, including those regarding future financial results and future operational goals, and industry prospects are forward-looking and may be subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the call. Please refer to SEVIS SEC filings for a list of associated risks. This conference call is being webcast. The webcast link is available in the investor relations section of SEVIS.com and will be accessible for 90 days. At this time, I'd like to turn the call over to Rory for his opening remarks. Rory?

Thanks, Wade. Welcome to our first quarterly release, which we're really excited about. Financially, this quarter will be a little bit different from quarters going forward, as our financial results for this quarter only reflect one quarter of the combined operations of Kalix and CBIS, as merger agreement became effective on June 1st, 2023. That means the results reflect two months of Kalix and one month of the combined operations. I think the easiest way to understand this is to have Wade go over our financial presentation. Wade?
