Thank you, Prashant. We continue to see improvement in 2023 for our core TracSeed pharmaceutical exchange platform. Our nationwide footprint continues to grow, and we remain committed to the focus of exciting new ways to support our large, growing network of registered users. With the development of technology and products for our local pharmacies, we are dedicated to supporting these pharmacies with new innovative products that better enable them to service their customers and strengthen loyalty to their local retail pharmacy. Before we do a more detailed walkthrough of financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2023, for those of you who are new to the company, I'd like to walk you through who we are, how we are digitalizing the retail pharmacy experience through the optimization of drug procurement and prescription journey and patient engagement. Prior to the launch of TraxAid, obtaining drug codes as an independent pharmacy was an extremely laborious and time inefficient process with no insight or transparency into a fair market price or what others are paying for the same drug. Traditional wholesalers would provide unfavorable payment terms, slow delivery, and create a difficult conundrum for approximately 19,400 independent pharmacies nationwide. We identified this market in efficiency as well as the incredible potential in these independent pharmacies, which together maintain an estimated approximately $67.1 billion in annual purchasing power and proceeded to launch TrackSafe. We design, own, and operate a business-to-business web-based market platform, bringing together the nation's independent pharmacies with accredited national pharmaceutical suppliers to provide a uniquely efficient and transparent buying and selling process. Our platform lets independent pharmacies know that they're receiving a fair price from competing suppliers and a fair payment terms often with next day delivery. We believe this radical price transparency, economy of scale, and competition among suppliers leads to up to a 10% reduction in a pharmacy's total annual drug purchasing cost with a drug level savings of up to 90% on certain pharmaceutical products. Our platform saves pharmacies from having to manually compare prices across distributors, saving hundreds of hours of unnecessary labor annually and eliminating negative reimbursement or fulfilling a prescription at a loss. Our revenue model is simple. We operate in an administrative field of up to 6% of the buying price on generic pharmaceuticals and up to 1% on brand pharmaceuticals. a pass-through or pharmaceutical marketplace similar to a PayPal or Visa-like model. To date, we have seen incredible success in garnering attention from independent pharmacies nationwide, validating our business model. We currently have over 14,500 plus registered members on our platform with approximately 1,100 new registered members added in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. Another exciting growth metric on TrackState platform includes a 7% increase in the volume of sales processed across our platform for the same comparable quarters. On January 20th, 2023, we entered into agreements to sell 100% of the outstanding membership interest in our subsidiary companies, community specialty pharmacy, and Alliance Pharma Solutions. The company will receive $245,000 in consideration for both the companies that agreed to enter into a master services agreement, which it is currently supporting. We expect the transactions to complete closing by June 30th, 2023. The full details on information regarding the transaction can be found on our form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2023. The sale of these subsidiary companies is part of our plan to focus on our core business-to-business revenue model. I would like to now turn the call over to our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Prashant Patel, to walk through more key financial highlights from our first quarter of 2023. Thank you, Surendra.
