Please note, this call may be recorded. I will be standing by should you need any assistance. It is now my pleasure to turn today's program over to Larry Sills. Please go ahead.

Good morning, everybody, and thank you for attending our fourth quarter call. My name is Larry Sills, Chairman of the Board. With me today we have Eric Sills, President and CEO, Jim Burke, Chief Operating Officer, and Nathan Iles, Chief Financial Officer. Our agenda for today is we'll start with Eric, who will review the highlights of the fourth quarter and the year. Jim will then review some operations. And Nathan will then give a more detailed review of the numbers. When that's complete, we will switch over to, we will start our Q&A session. So a lot to cover. Let's start. So Nathan, you'll begin with the forward-looking statement, and then we'll go from there.

Thank you, Larry. Good morning, everybody. 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 a 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.
