Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Oil Dry Corporation of America's second quarter 2021 investor teleconference. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. To ask a question during the session, you'll need to press star 1 on your telephone. As a reminder, today's program may be recorded. I would now like to introduce your host for today's program, Dan Jaffe, President and Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, and welcome, everyone, to the second quarter and six-month Oil Dry Investor Teleconference. We are still in a virtual environment, so our usual cast of characters will be on the call, but we're all in different places, or most of us are anyway. Susan Cray, CFO, Molly Vanden Heuvel, our COO, Jessica Moskowitz, Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Products Division, Fred Cowell, our VP of Global Sales for Amlin International, Laura Sheeland, our VP in General Counsel, and Leslie Garber, our Manager of Investor Relations, are all on hand today. And Leslie, please walk us through the safe harbor.

Thank you, Dan. Welcome, everyone. On today's call, comments may contain forward-looking statements regarding the company's performance in future periods. Actual results in those periods may materially differ. In our press release and in our SEC filings, we highlight a number of important risk factors trends, and uncertainties that may affect our future performance. We ask that you review and consider those factors in evaluating the company's comments and in evaluating any investment in oil-dry stock. Thank you for joining us. Dan?
