Well, thank you, Rob. Nice introduction. Good morning, everybody. This is David Gladstone, chairman, and this is the quarterly earnings conference call for Gladstone Capital for the quarter ending March 31st, 2021. Thank you all for calling in. We're always happy to talk with our shareholders and those analysts that follow us. Welcome the opportunity to give you an update. Bob Marcotte, the president, will be on in a minute, but first we're going to need to hear from our general counsel to talk to you about the legal warnings about this presentation. Michael?

Thanks David and good morning. Today's report may include forward-looking statements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding our future performance, and these forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based on our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. These factors may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including all risk factors listed on Forms 10-Q, and many other documents that we follow at the SEC and you can find these on the investors page of our website www.GladstoneCapital.com. You can also sign up for our email notification service there or you can find the documents on the SEC's website and that's at www.sec.gov. Now, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Now, today's call is an overview of our results, so we ask that you review our press release and Form 10Q, both issued yesterday, for more detailed information. Again, you can find these on the Investors page of our website. With that, I'll turn the presentation over to Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte. Bob?
