Jay? Thank you, Rendon, and welcome, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Let me start by saying we are proud of the significant steps we have taken this year to fortify and diversify our business. Our core business remains reinsurance, where we write fully collateralized policies to cover property losses from specific catastrophes. And because we write fully collateralized contracts, we believe we can compete effectively with large carriers. We specialize in underwriting low-frequency, high-severity risks, where we believe sufficient data exists to effectively analyze the risk-return profile of reinsurance contracts. Our objective is to achieve long-term growth in book value per share by writing business on a selective and opportunistic basis that will generate attractive underwriting profits relative to risk. Building on the stable reinsurance foundation, we begin to diversify our business in 2021 as a lead sponsor of Oxbridge Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, focusing on investing in disruptive technologies. In August of 2023, Oxbridge Acquisition successfully completed its business combination with Jet AI Inc. The company developed software and offers fractional aircraft ownership Jet Card aircraft brokerage and charter through its fleet of private aircrafts and those of operating partner. It operates in two segments, software and aviation. The software segment features the B2C Charter GPT app and B2B Jet AI operator platform. The Charter GPT app uses natural language processing and machine learning to improve the private jet booking experience. The JetAI operator platform operates a suite of standalone software products such as ReRoute and DynoFlight to enable FAA Part 135 charter providers to add revenue, maximizing efficiency and reducing environmental impact. The aviation segment features jet aircraft fractionalization, jet cards, on-freet charter management, and buyer's brokerage. With the completion of the business combination in August of 2023, the company began trading with the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. Our interest in JetAI is recognized at fair value and in other investments on our balance sheet. In 2023, we expanded our business portfolio by establishing Assurance Plus Inc., a new subsidiary focused on Web3 technology. Assurance Plus specializes in democratizing tokenized real-world assets, or RWAs, offering tokenized reinsurance securities as alternative investment opportunities. These securities leverage blockchain technology to ensure complete transparency and compliance with the SEC guidelines, representing a significant advancement in the digital security market. Consequently, this initiative aims to broaden investor participation, extending opportunities beyond a select group of ultra-high net worth individuals. Crucially, the establishment of Assurance Plus was achieved without incurring new debt or diluting equity in our shareholders. reflecting our efficient approach to diversification. We are enthusiastic about the prospects of these new investments and remain committed to keep our stakeholders informed of the progress in the forthcoming quarters. Looking ahead, we intend to reposition Oxbridge as a prominent player, the real-world asset to our WA Web3 sector. Further details of the strategic direction will be shared later in the call. In summary, we maintain a strong sense of optimism regarding the long-term outlook of our core reinsurance business, alongside the successful integration of our new ventures, JetAI Insurance Plus, as we embrace the RWA market more comprehensively. I'll now turn things over to Rendon and take us through our financial results.
