Sigma Labs, Inc.

Good day and welcome to the Sigma Labs second quarter 2021 financial results conference call and webcast. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Chris Tyson, Executive Vice President of MZ North America. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you and good afternoon. I'd like to thank you all for taking time to join us for Sigma Labs second quarter 2021 business update and results conference call. Your hosts today are Mark Ruppert, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Frank Orszakowski, the company's Chief Financial Officer. A press release detailing these results crossed the wires this afternoon at 4.01 p.m. Eastern today and is available on the company's website, sigmalabsinc.com. Before we begin the formal presentation, I'd like to remind everyone that statements made on the call and webcast, including those regarding future financial results and industry prospects, are forward-looking and may be subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the call. Please refer to the company's SEC filings for a list of associated risks, and we would also refer you to the company's website for more supporting industry information. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Sigma Labs President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Ruppert. Mark, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Chris, and good afternoon, and thanks for joining our call today, everybody. It would be an understatement to say that I am disappointed by the lack of revenue in the second quarter. However, it's also an understatement to say that I am excited about Cigna's future as I have ever been. I realize that those two sentiments are at odds with each other, but it's often the case in emerging markets such as additive manufacturing and new technologies like PrintWrite 3D, both can be true. One quarter doesn't change our strategy. We fully intend to run the race, not get distracted, and stay focused on our long-term opportunity, which in my experience and opinion is larger than I previously thought. I'll explain why I'm so confident in the future after Frank Orzekowski, our CFO, reviews our financials.
