Thank you, Kelly, and thank you, everyone, for joining us. I am pleased to welcome you to The Glimpse Group's Q1 Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results Investor Call, Our quarter ended September 30, 2024. During the quarter, we delivered the first phase of our large DoD contract and have made significant progress towards securing several multimillion-dollar enterprise-scale spatial computing, cloud, and AI-driven immersive software solutions, spatial core contracts, with multiple government, DoD, and large enterprise customers. The short-term aggregate value for those contractors is in the $5 to $10 million range. We expect to get confirmation on one of these contracts in December 2024 and to receive additional confirmations in early 2025 due to budgetary delays. In parallel to Spatial Core, our other immersive businesses continue their positive momentum from the previous quarter. Some recent examples. We entered into a mid-six-figure contract with a large global water and hygiene infrastructure company for an augmented reality solution. We entered into a mid-six-figure contract with a global energy company for immersive content. We entered into a multi-year mid-six-figure contract with a state district for immersive education. our subsidiary Curiel saw a significant increase in revenue driven by demand from its largest customer for AR lenses and 3D models. While the immersive industry and glimpse of a significant participant in it has faced challenging headwinds in the past few years, we have successfully transformed and stabilized our business and are now seeing and experiencing concrete positive growth indicators. As such, We expect revenues to continue to increase in the coming quarters based on signed contracts in our advanced revenue pipeline. We also expect to be cash flow positive in the current quarter and the quarters after, which will result in an increased cash balance without the need for capital raise. However, the transformation and positive development achieved in recent months has not been reflected in our stock price, creating what we believe is a significant disconnect between our intrinsic value and our public company valuation. To illustrate, we're a company with immersive technology, AI and cloud-driven revenues, large enterprise and DOD customers, strong pipeline of revenues, positive cash flow going forward, and a clean balance sheet, yet has a ridiculously low market cap, nominal trading volume, and consistent selling pressure, even when we put out very positive news. This valuation disconnect has had and continues to have a substantial negative effect on our ability to execute on our growth strategy. As such, the board of directors of the company is exploring various aggressive strategic options to enable the business to be in a position to invest in its growth while unlocking the value inherent in our business and or assets and may pursue such options during the fiscal year. As part of this strategic review process and our previously announced strategic realignment and divestiture of non-core assets, effective on October 1st, 2024, we divested the business of Curiel and its related Turkey-based operating entity. Some of the key elements of this divestiture include, Curiel was one of the original glimpse businesses acquired upon our inception in 2016. We believe that Curio's virtual trial and business has a greater growth and success potential as an independently funded entity outside of Glimpse, potentially creating significant equity value for Glimpse's shareholders in excess of Curio's current equity value within Glimpse. The divestiture creates approximately four million dollars of expected net cash value to Glimpse over the next two years, inclusive of 1.2 to 1.5 million in annual cash savings, excluding the upside potential from our equity position in the divested entity and or from the repayment of our senior note. The divestiture simplifies and streamlines GIMS's operations, approximately 60 less employees, and eliminates the Turkey country risk. No material change is expected, for revenues for fiscal year 2025 and 2026, as Glimpse retains the revenues from Kiro's largest customer in full until such time that Glimpse has collected and retained at least 1.35 million in net cash in aggregate, after taking into account all related operating expenses and fees. After satisfaction of the milestone, Glimpse will receive a monthly cash revenue share for an additional period of 18 months in relation to any revenues generated from this same customer. Glymphs was issued a $1.56 million Senior Secured Convertible Note in a new and independent entity, UCO, that will operate Curio's virtual try-on business. Senior Note principal payback is tied directly to revenue collected by the UCO, separated from the milestone reference above. UCO has raised outside capital and Glimpse was issued a minority equity stake in the company. With that, I will now turn it over to Medan Rothblum, Glimpse's CFO and COO, to review the financial results. Medan?

Thanks, Liron. I will limit my portion to a summary review of our financial results. A full breakdown is available in our 10Q and 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 10Q filing, which you can find on our website under SEC Filings. Q1 fiscal year 25 revenue of approximately $2.44 million, reflecting a 44% increase compared to Q4 fiscal year 24, as the quarter ended June 30, 2024, revenue of approximately 1.7 million. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily driven by an increase in spatial core revenues, and B, a 21% decrease in revenue compared to Q1 fiscal year 24, as the quarter ended September 30, 2023, revenue of approximately 3.1 million. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by our strategic alignment over the last nine months which led to a turnover in our legacy customer base and consolidation and divestiture of some of our businesses. We expect revenue in the next three upcoming quarters to exceed $3 million on average per quarter and aggregate revenue for fiscal year 25, ending June 30th, 2025, to be in the $11 to $12 million range compared to $8.8 million for fiscal year 24, which is the year that ended on June 30, 2024, representing a 25 to 35% increase in annual revenue. This expected growth will be primarily driven by an increase in spatial core revenues, as well as potential growth in our other businesses. Gross margin for Q1 fiscal year 25 was approximately 79%. compared to 62% for Q1 fiscal year 24. The increase in gross margin was driven by an increase in spatial core revenues and higher software license revenues this quarter. On average, we expect our going forward gross margin to be in the 60 to 70% range. Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q1 fiscal year 25 was approximately 0.46 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $1.29 million for Q1 fiscal year 24. Our current cash operating expense base pre-revenue is now less than $1 million per month. Given our projected revenues going forward, we expect to generate positive cash flow in each of the three remaining quarters of fiscal year 25. The company's cash and equivalent position as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $1.4 million with an additional $0.9 million in accounts receivable. We do not intend to raise capital in the foreseeable future, especially since we expect our operations to generate positive cash flow and grow our cash balance. We continue to maintain a clean capital structure with no debt, no convertible debt, and no preferred equity. I'd now like to pass it back to Liron for some closing remarks. after which we will begin our Q&A session.
