Well, thank you, Kevin. Nice introduction. And this is the quarterly earnings call that we do at the end of each quarter. Gladstone Capital's third quarter ends June 30, 2021. Thank you all for calling in. We're always happy to talk with shareholders and analysts and welcome the opportunity to provide an update for this company and its investment portfolio. Well, we start with our General Counsel, Michael Lacalce. He'll make some statements regarding certain forward-looking statements. Michael?

Thanks, David. Good morning, everybody. Today's report may include forward-looking statements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding our future performance. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based on our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. Now, many 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 in our forms 10Q, 10K, and other documents that we file with the SEC, and you can find them on the investor page of our website. That's www.gladstonecapital.com, or you can also sign up for our email notification service, or you can find them on the SEC's website, which is www.sec.gov. And 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. Today's call is an overview of our results, so we ask that you review our press release and Form 10-Q, both issued yesterday, for more detailed information. Again, you can find them on the Investors page of our website. Now, with that, I'll turn the call over to Gladstone Capital's President, Bob Marcotte. Bob?
