Welcome everyone to our second quarter conference call, and thank you so much for attending. With me today, I have Eric Sills, President and CEO, Jim Burke, Chief Operating Officer, Nathan Iles, Chief Financial Officer, and myself, Larry Sills, Executive Chairman. The agenda for today, We'll start with Eric, who will review the key highlights of the quarter. Then Jim will go into further detail on our operations. And then Nathan will give a more detailed review of the numbers. And then we'll move over to Q&A. But let us begin. I'll just give it to Nathan for the forward-looking statement, and then we'll go from there. Thank you and welcome.

Okay. Thank you, Larry. Before we begin this morning, I'd like to remind you that some of the material we will be discussing today may include forward-looking statements regarding our business and expected financial results. When we use words like anticipate, believe, estimate, or expect, these are generally forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based on information currently available to us and certain assumptions made by us, and we cannot assure you that they will prove correct. You should also read our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. I'll now turn the call over to Eric.
