Thank you, Mike. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Crescendo Q1 2023 conference call. On the call with me today are Doug Gaylor, our president and COO, Ron Vincent, our CFO, John Britton, our CRO, and Anand Bush, our CSO. Also joining us today is Steve Mihailo, our chairman of the board. And I don't know how the hell you got in here, Steve, because I changed the locks. But seriously, I thank Steve. He very kindly wanted to give me a key. Now I know who I should start hiring. I mean, no. I'm only kidding. Obviously, I'm very grateful that Steve came here to show his support for me and the team on our first call going solo. So, what I'm going to do is ask Luke to go ahead and read the Safe Harbor statement. After that, I'll give some brief comments. Ron will provide more detail on the numbers, and Doug will provide a business update after that. And then I'll open up the call for questions. So, Luke, would you please read the Safe Harbor?
