Okay, Ken, thanks. So I'd like to make some overall comments regarding our progress before Guy provides a bit more color and some details. Although the general business and operating environment remains challenging, We continue to make progress towards our longer-term growth goals. We saw a significant increase in revenues over the first quarter, a trend we think will continue to the second half of the year. We believe there's a clear trend of increasing inquiries and order activity across most of our markets. We continue to make good progress on our strategic initiatives to address trends in the marine technology market. Progress on the disposal of assets from our legacy leasing business continues, with a recent agreement for the sale of a significant portion of the remaining assets. So with that, now I'd like to hand things over to Guy to provide some more detail. I'll then come back in a bit with the financial results and address our general market outlook.
