Thank you, everyone, for joining us. I'm pleased to welcome you to the Glimpse Group's first quarter fiscal year 2024 financial results investor call, for a quarter ended September 30th, 2023. This quarter was highlighted by a continued execution on a strategic realignment of Glymphs towards providing immersive enterprise software and services that are driven by spatial computing, cloud and AI. Q1 FY24 revenue of approximately 3.1 million, a 7% quarter over quarter increase compared to Q4 FY23 revenue of approximately 2.9 million and a 22% decrease compared to the record revenue of approximately 3.95 million in Q1 FY23. We continue to make strong progress in our previously detailed strategic shift to spatial computing, cloud and AI driven immersive software solutions. We also expect to announce significant contracts in the coming months. In parallel, we have been realigning the company, reducing headcount and our investment in non-core areas while working on divesting non-core assets. As we make this transition, we expect Q2 FY24, the quarter we're in currently, to have lower revenue, but also expect a rebound in Q3 FY24, calendar 24 Q1 revenue as we begin to recognize revenue and growth relating to our Spatial Core product and solutions. As I discussed on our last earnings call, we strongly believe that for the immersive industry to reach its full potential and mass scale, it must be untethered from the computing limitations of traditional devices, whether they are VR headsets, AR headsets, tablets, and phones. Spatial Core, developed by our subsidiary company Brightline Interactive, is the technological engine that allows us to simultaneously integrate legacy immersive technology systems with state-of-the-art cloud systems built on open standards for accelerated computing in large scale. By harnessing the essentially infinite scale of GPU access provided by our partners, Nvidia and Microsoft, Brightline is creating powerful AI workflows for massive and quick compression of complex simulations and immersive experiences, which are computed in the cloud in real time and then delivered to the end devices. Live examples of this include robotics training, digital twin-based simulations, rapid immersive content creation, and multiple Department of Defense applications. Spatial core will be the growth engine of Glymphs, and as such, we are realigning the business to reflect that. including the investiture or shutdown of non-core activities and subsidiaries. The subsidiary companies that remain, primarily Qreal and S5D, are expected to be net positive cash contributors. As McDonough will detail in his prepared remarks, we have taken significant steps to reduce our operating expense base, recently raised capital in clean structure, and continue to maintain a clean balance sheet. With that, I will now turn it over to Meydan Rothblum, Glimpse's CFO and COO, to review the financial results. Meydan?

Thanks, Liron. I will limit my portion to a summary review of our financial results. A full breakdown is available in our 10Q and in the press release that were filed after market close today. Please note that I'll refer to adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP measures. For the calculation of adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP measures, please refer to the MD&A section of our 10-Q filing, which you can find on our website under SEC Filings. Revenue for the three months ended September 30th, 2023 was approximately $3.1 million compared to approximately $3.95 million for the three months ended September 30th, 2022, a decrease of approximately 22%. The decrease reflects Q1 fiscal year 22 being our record revenue quarter, in addition to the effects of our internal structuring and a lengthening of our sales cycle in general in the immersive technology industry. Gross margin for Q1 fiscal year 24 was approximately 62% compared to 69% for Q1 fiscal year 23. We expect our gross margins to continue to remain in the 60 to 70 percent range, depending on the revenue mix in a specific order. And we expect our margins to be at the higher end of the range in the second half of the fiscal year as our strategic shift comes into play. Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q1 fiscal year 24 was approximately $1.29 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of approximately $1.05 million for Q1 fiscal year 23. which had a higher revenue base. In the past year, we have reduced headcount by approximately 40%, and we'll continue to do so as part of our strategic plan. This will enable us to, going forward, reach cash flow neutrality at approximately this quarter's level of revenues annualized, excluding growth investments. Just to illustrate, a year ago, our cash break-even point was approximately $20 million of annual revenue. Today, we are approaching cash breakeven at approximately $12 million of annual revenue. After the closing of the previously reported Registered Direct Financing on October 3, 2023, the company's cash position was in excess of $6.5 million. As everyone mentioned, the company has no outstanding corporate debt, convertible debt, or preferred equity obligations. On November 13th, 2023, the board of directors authorized the company to enter into a common share and purchase buyback plan of up to $2 million to be utilized over the next three years. Since we are committed to investing in the growth opportunities in front of us in operations of the business, we do not anticipate utilizing this plan once it has been put in place in the next week or so. That being said, we may utilize the buyback in cases where extraordinary circumstances regarding our stock price create exceptional value opportunities for the company. I'd now like to pass it back to Liron for some closing remarks, after which we will begin our Q&A session.
