Thank you, Andy, and good afternoon, everyone. We're glad you could join us today. I'm very proud of our team's execution and our positive third quarter results, which reflect continued evidence of our restructuring efforts and cost discipline are paying off. During the quarter, we realized increased manufacturing efficiencies across customer programs transferred to new plants, which are driving planned sustained performance improvement as we experience a continued positive mix shift from new product introduction to first builds of recurring production. While we have incremental work to do in this area, we have made significant progress over the past several quarters to realize the benefits of our streamlining and long-term cost structuring initiatives. The entire Nortec leadership team is proud of the hard work and execution of our employees. We continue to closely monitor on-again, off-again imposition of tariffs. continue to see strong quoting activity as many of our customers are evaluating near-shore manufacturing strategies for both north america and china we believe we are currently very well positioned in our north american footprint as our monterey maquila door operations and minnesota facilities work under the framework of the usmca while the tariffs with mexico remain uncertain It's important to note Nortec is not the importer of record into the United States for goods produced in Mexico, as we operate under a Maquiladora structure for our customers. This materially reduces our direct exposure to these tariffs. In situations where we incur tariffs on imported components, we are working closely with our customers to pass these costs through. All in all, we are working hard and have all hands on deck to proactively monitor the shifting landscape. trade policies, and uncertainties in the current geopolitical environment. We have recently... I'm texting her.
I apologize there. If there has been a technical error, I do apologize. I'm extremely sorry about that. I'm going to start the script right now.
Let's just get to the right place.

Thank you, Jenny, and thank you everyone for joining us. I'm pleased to welcome you to the Glimpse Group's Q1 Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results Investor Call for quarter-ended September 30th, 2025. While revenues were down as we guided and expected during the quarter, we made significant strategic progress in advancing the potential IPO spin-off of our subsidiary company, Brightline Interactive, while making substantial deliveries on key contracts and expanding the traction of our AI software product, Fortel AI. Specifically, Brightline made an initial successful delivery on a multi-million dollar annual spatial core contract with a Department of War entity. Brightline is also in advanced discussions regarding multiple significant DOW opportunities. While these discussions have been impacted by the government shutdown and continuing resolution, we still expect these to materialize into contracts during calendar year 2026. Our AI software license format for TEL-AI Our AI role-play simulation, providing intelligent conversational simulations in immersive environments, has been gaining traction in both the education and healthcare segments. While early in its commercialization, the level of enterprise interest in Fortel AI and the accelerating pace of new licenses and annual license renewal is encouraging. Our goal is for Fortel AI to eventually become a fundamental base for Glimpse's revenues. Our other businesses continue to perform well. For example, we recently signed several contracts with one of the world's largest oil service companies. Aggregate contract value in the mid-six figures for the development of 3D brand environments and animation and corporate presentations. Regarding the Brightline IPO spinoff, our immediate strategic focus is driving a potential IPO and spinoff of Brightline as its own independent publicly traded company. a pure-play standalone, well-capitalized providers of AI-driven spatial computing, cloud-based operational simulation middleware to the DOW and large enterprises, enabling real-time data orchestration and training of digital twins, robotics, drones, and autonomous systems. In October 2025, we initiated the IPO spin-out process, engaged Lucid Capital Markets LLC as our investment banking partner, and an experienced securities counsel. While there is no guarantee of success, we expect the process to play out over the coming months with a potential Brightline IPO in the first half of calendar year 2026. Current DIN shareholders, in parallel to their new holding in a spun-out Brightline, will also maintain their holdings in Glymphs. In addition to our core immersive businesses, which are increasingly driven by traction in our Fortele AI software product, We believe that there are considerable value creation alternatives for Glymphs to pursue as a clean, healthy, NASDAQ-listed technology company. We are in the initial stages of reviewing such potential alternatives. With that, I will turn it over to Medan Rothblum, Glymphs' CFO and COO, to review the financial results.
Medan? Thanks, Miron.
I will limit my portion to a summary review of our financial results. A full breakdown is available in our 10-Q and press release that were filed after market close today. Please note that I may refer to non-GAAP measures. For the calculation of non-GAAP measures, please refer to the MD&A section of our 10-Q filing. As discussed previously, We expected fiscal year 26 revenues to be choppy by quarter, as demonstrated by results in this quarter. Q1 fiscal year 26 revenue of approximately $1.4 million, reflecting a 43% decrease compared to Q1 fiscal year 25, that's for the period ending September 30, 2024, revenue of approximately $2.4 million. The decrease reflects timing of Department of War contracts and the US government budgetary delays in our previous divestiture of non-core entities. Gross margin for Q1 fiscal year 26 was approximately 72% compared to approximately 68% for fiscal year 25. We expect our gross margins to remain in the 65 to 75% range. Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q1 fiscal year 26 was 0.92 million compared to 0.46 million loss for Q1 fiscal year 25, reflecting the lower revenues in this quarter. The company is currently operating at an adjusted EBITDA breakeven level at approximately $10 million of annual revenue, which is equivalent to our fiscal year 25 revenue. The company's cash and equivalent position as of September 30, 2025 was approximately 5.56 million with an additional 0.66 million in accounts receivable. We continue to maintain a clean capital structure with no debt, no convertible debt, no preferred equity, and as of October 2025, no contingent liabilities after making the final performance payments relating to Brightline's acquisition in 2022. Since there are many moving parts currently in play, we will not be providing revenue guidance for the remaining of our fiscal year, ending in June 30th, 2026. And now I'd like to pass it back to Liron for some closing remarks, after which we will begin our Q&A session.
Liron? Thank you, Maydan.
This quarter was marked by the formal initiation of the value creation initiatives we previously discussed. initially led by the potential IPO spin-off of Brightline, and then to likely be followed by other initiatives. This process will play out during our fiscal year 2026, and we will keep you updated to the degree possible as we progress. In parallel, we expect our business to continue to grow with a focus on Fortel AI software licenses. Thank you all of you for your interest and support of the Glynx Group. And now I'll turn it over to Jenny for some questions.
