Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that the call is being recorded in order to make it available for replay. The replay instructions can be found in today's press release that is available in the investor relations section of our website. Now turning to our results for the quarter. Our growth in product momentum continued into the second quarter as we further expanded the use of our flagship animal osteoarthritis veterinary medical device, Spring, with osteo cushion technology. We have also advanced the commercialization of Precise PRP, our new breakthrough regenerative health product that can be administered alongside spring. Precise PRP for dogs generated increased revenue during the quarter as its adoption continues to spread in the canine market. We expect the Precise PRP revenue to further increase at an accelerated pace with a recent reintroduction to the equine market of Precise PRP for horses. We have also continued to advance the research, development, and use of other technologies we've gained from new major partnerships that we formed over the last several months. These innovative technologies, which includes Precise PRP, involve diagnostics and medical treatments that are transformative for our platform and particularly for the veterinarians and pet owners we serve. Since the market introduction of Spring in late 2021, it has now been used by more than 1,200 veterinary clinics across all 50 states. Now, with the recent addition of our first distributor in Europe, which soon followed from our first international distributor we signed in Mexico, we can include several additional international clinics who are now using Spring. Mexico is a very attractive market for our animal health solutions, especially since the country's veterinary healthcare market is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate or CAGR of 11% and is anticipated to reach approximately 2.4 billion within the next six years. Personal horse ownership is deeply intertwined with Mexican culture and tradition, which makes the Mexican marketplace exceptionally ideal. However, the European animal market is much larger, estimated at more than 16.56 billion today, and is projected to more than double to 34.8 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.6%. In just the UK, where our new European distributor, Nupsula Group, operates, the market currently exceeds 2.6 billion and is growing at a 7.8% CAGR. For each of these markets, their high growth rates are particularly noteworthy given their already very large size. As sales continue to ramp up in Mexico and kick off in the UK, our U.S. distributor network increased their sales by 35% over the same year-ago quarter, reaching $237,000 and representing 75% of our total revenues for the quarter. The growth in distributor sales combined with the expansion of our in-house sales force and product offerings drove a 51% increase in total revenue for the quarter, totaling 303,000 and making it one of our best quarters yet. In fact, it was our highest revenue generating fiscal second quarter on record. And on a first-half comparative basis, revenues were up 85% to more than $600,000, marking our best first half ever. This performance reflects the success of our sales and marketing efforts. These efforts remain strongly focused on the large equine market as we continue to expand our larger and fast-growing companion animal market. Our growth has also been driven by a strong performance of our sales and marketing leadership, including April Boyce, our VP of Sales and Marketing, and Mike Eldred, our commercial and operations advisor, as well as the several new highly experienced territory managers we have deployed nationwide over the past year and our new team of professional sales representatives and technical service veterinarians who support them. Together, they have been developing deep relationships with the nation's leading veterinary clinics, veterinary corporate entities, consolidators, and distributors with this setting the stage for continued strong growth. During the quarter, we were excited to announce the appointment of Josh Rubin to our board of directors. He brings to us a wealth of experience in healthcare and life sciences finance, capital markets, and corporate strategy. Josh currently serves as the managing director of life sciences at Trinity Capital, where he has focused on venture lending to healthcare companies. He previously served in financial director roles with RBC Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities. Josh boasts a tremendous track record in the successful execution of multi-billion dollar M&A and capital transactions. His deep understanding of the life sciences industry and strategic insights into growth stage companies like Pet Vivo will be invaluable as we continue to grow and expand our market presence in the veterinary markets and begin to explore the introduction of products to the human markets. Now, before we get into more of the other exciting recent developments and our outlook for the second half of the fiscal year, I would like to turn the call over to our CFO, Gary Lowenthal, who will take us through the financial details for the quarter. Gary?

Thank you, John, and good afternoon, everyone, on our call. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the results of our second quarter of fiscal 2026, ending September 30th. As John mentioned, we had another great quarter with revenues at $303,000. This was an increase of 51% over the first quarter of last year. Our results on a first half of year basis were even stronger with revenues up 85% to more than $600,000. And despite the second fiscal quarter being traditionally our slowest quarter of the year, we generated an increase from the previous first quarter. This growth was largely driven by a number of key factors, including our expanded North American distributor network, with their contribution increasing 35% compared to the year-ago quarter, reaching $237,000, or 75% of our revenues. Our expanded in-house sales force also helped drive sales, which included sales of our new product offerings, such as Precise PRP. Growth profit totaled $220,000 or 72.6% of revenues, which was an increase of 23% for $180,000 or 89.5% of revenues in the same quarter a year ago. The decreased gross margin was due primarily to the new Precise PRP product, which carries a smaller margin, and as we increase the sales mix with this new product offering. Total operating expenses decreased 3% to $2.3 million from $2.4 million a year ago. The reduction in operating expenses was due to reduced research and development costs, as well as the strategic cost reduction and restructuring program we implemented last fiscal year. Combined with increase in sales, the lower operating expenses helped decrease our operating loss by 5% compared to the same year-ago quarter, bringing it down to approximately $2 million. Net loss totaled $3 million or 11 cents per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of 2.2 million or 11 cents per basic and diluted share the same year ago quarter. The increased loss was due to an increase in interest expense from debt discount as all of our convertible notes were converted on September 20th. Excluding the $942,000 of debt discount recorded as interest expense, that net loss actually improved 5% to $2.1 million. Net cash used in operating activity has increased $3.8 million from $3.1 million the same year ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to the increase in inventory purchases of the company's new precise PRP product line to meet growing demand and trade vendors' settlement payments as our accounts payables decreased substantially during the fiscal quarter. Now turning to our balance sheet, our available cash totaled $768,000 on September 30th, 25, up from $220,000 at the end of our fiscal year ending March 31st of this year. The increase was primarily due to financing activities that we conducted during the quarter. Also notably, our total liabilities decreased to $1.1 million from $5.1 million just last March 31, 2025, end of our fiscal year. This 79% decrease was primarily due to the extinguishment of derivative liabilities related to our convertible notes. as well as a massive reduction in accounts payables due to settlement payments with trade vendors, and the conversion of all of our convertible notes to common stock on September 30th. Finally, I'd like to mention that during the quarter, we qualified to begin trading on the OTCQX best market. To qualify for the OTCQX, public companies must meet higher financial standards, follow best practices in corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable security laws. Furthermore, trading on the OTCQX, we are now penny stock exempt. We believe our uplist from the OTCQB to the OTCQX demonstrates our commitment to transparency, strong corporate governance, and delivering long-term value to our shareholders. We also believe that trading on the OTCQX enhances our visibility within the investment community and provides greater liquidity and accessibility for investors as we continue to execute on our strategic growth initiatives. Now, this completes our financial summary for the quarter. John? Thank you, Gary.

The growth for the quarter demonstrated the success of our overall strategy for driving greater adoption of spring, as well as increasing the awareness and acceptance of Precise PRP for the treatment of osteoarthritis in animals. Precise PRP is a proprietary and revolutionary allogenic platelet-rich plasma product, or PRP, designed for horses and dogs that was developed by VetStel. PetVivo has been granted the exclusive license to commercialize Precise PRP canine and equine in the United States. Precise PRP is a first-in-class, off-the-shelf PRP product for use by veterinarians. It is a leukoreduced, allogenic, pooled, freeze-dried PRP that provides a species-specific source of concentrated platelets and plasma for intraarticular administration. Unlike other PRP mechanical kits currently in the market, Precise PRP does not require a blood draw or centrifugation, thereby making it truly off-the-shelf product that is easy and convenient to administer. We have begun to sell this breakthrough regenerative product under an exclusive licensing and supply agreement with VetStem that we signed in February of 2025. The combination of spring and precise PRP has received very favorable reports from veterinarians regarding the ease of use of these products and the effectiveness in the management of osteoarthritis in horses and companion animals. We have continued to work on expanding the awareness of the benefits of both of these innovative products among key decision makers. In July, we exhibited at the Texas Equine Veterinary Association 2025 Summer CE Symposium held in Marble Falls, Texas. We also attended other smaller industry events during the quarter. At these events, we demonstrated the research-backed benefits of spring to veterinarians, including leading sports medicine and rehabilitation experts in the veterinary industry. We also had the opportunity to exhibit jointly with VetSTEM at the 2025 Fetch Kansas City Veterinary Conference held in August at the Kansas City Convention Center. Together with VetSTEM, we exhibited the precise PRP technology at this conference. These conferences are very important to our marketing efforts as they allow us to discuss firsthand with decision makers the benefits of administering spring and or precise PRP to horses and companion animals. We can discuss with them the anecdotal reports as well as present the positive results from several clinical studies that have been conducted by leading independent investigators. From these events, we usually gain a better understanding of our target market and the types of veterinarians we should be more focused on. This includes vets who specialize in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and or pain management, as well as surgery. Regarding additional studies, we have completed the accumulation of data from an canine elbow pilot study conducted by Orthobiologic Innovations, a leader in R&D for regenerative and sports medicine. The study was led by two prominent veterinarians, Sherman and Debra Knapp. and we expect the data to be ready for presentation by the end of the calendar year. Studies like this canine elbow study, as well as our other completed studies related to the management of stifle, cranial cruciate ligament disease, and hip osteoarthritis, continue to play a crucial role in our sales and distribution strategy. Veterinarians, as well as large national and international distributors, generally want to review university or independent entity conducted research before adding new product like ours to their treatment regiments or distribution catalog. Our internal sales team and outside distributors also use these studies in their commercialization efforts, including related veterinarian training. The study studies also help with our engagement of new industry partners, such as veterinary growth partners, BGP, with whom we recently joined forces. VGP is a management services organization, or MSO, that supports veterinary practices by offering practice management and marketing tools, consulting, and vendor relationships. VGP is committed to actively promote spring and precise PRP to their expansive member network of more than 7,300 veterinary hospital clinics across the United States. As I mentioned earlier, During the quarter, we entered into the European marketplace for the first time with the engagement of UK-based Noopsila Group. Noopsila Group is a leading UK-based veterinary group that operates as both a veterinary wholesaler and referral provider with a specialization in musculoskeletal health, orthobiologics, and regenerative medicine for companion animals and horses. Noopsila has committed to inventory, market, and promote throughout the United Kingdom our spring with Osseocushion technology. Initial order was shipped, and the official education and training of Noopsila's sales force is scheduled to begin in mid-January. During the quarter, we also advanced our new strategic collaboration with Commonwealth Markets, the syndicated ownership group who is behind 2023 Kentucky Derby winner MAGE, and the 2022 Dubai World Cup champion named Country Grammar. Our partnership with Commonwealth has been centered on the clinical use and promotion of spring and precise PRP. As part of our collaboration, Commonwealth has integrated spring and precise PRP into the care protocols of a number of their top tier thoroughbred stables. In this environment, they are using these technologies as both a preventative measure and or a management solution to promote joint health and extend performance longevity. It is also being used to support recovery after high impact training and racing. In addition to this clinical implementation, we are also exploring co-branded content, educational initiatives, and industry outreach to elevate awareness around joint wellness to support the broader adoption of spring and precise PRP across the equine health community. Our unique partnership with Commonwealth, a recognized leader at the highest level of the sport, represents a tremendous affirmation of our spring and precise PRP technologies. Their championship caliber horses and progressive approach to wellness makes them the ideal partner to showcase the benefits of these revolutionary restorative technologies. So by combining our clinical expertise and commercial capabilities of Commonwealth's vast network, we can provide more veterinarians with cutting-edge, effective solutions that enhance recovery and long-term soundness in competitive horses. Also during the quarter, we made great progress with our strategic alliance and collaboration with another key partner, Digitallandia, who is a leading pioneer in agenic AI solutions. Following the end of the quarter, we signed an exclusive 10-year white-label licensing agreement with Digitallandia for its patented breakthrough next-generation agentic pet AI technology. Our efforts are now focused on integrating this amazing technology into our platform as a first-of-kind global pet care ecosystem. In support of the diagnostic process, it can decipher animal behavior and communication through real-time analysis of vocalizations, body language, and physiological signals captured via a vet's or a pet parent's smartphone camera. Furthermore, the AI system has the capabilities to receive animal medical data, such as physicians' medical records, medical imaging, and lab results, to assist the veterinarian in diagnosing afflictions and diseases, as well as suggesting treatment options. Given how it accomplishes this with an amazing 97% accuracy, Digitallandia's agentic AI presents a paradigm shift in how we understand pets and their physical health. The underlying technology features five patent-pending innovations with nine specialized diagnostic agents accessible to veterinarians for all patients. By aligning our clinically proven therapies with such powerful AI technology, we believe PetVivo is uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI innovation and veterinary care. This AI technology also addresses two critical challenges facing the veterinary industry, skyrocketing client acquisition costs, and the difficulties in capturing the exploding Gen Z pet parent demographic. We believe the implementation of this agentic pet AI technology has the potential to deliver a 90 to 98% reduction in client acquisition costs, lowering it from $50 to $150 per patient to just $1.50 to $5 per targeted client outreach. It can also simultaneously provide veterinary practices with unprecedented access to the fast-growing market segment of Gen Z pet parents. Also, earlier this week, Digitallandia announced the publication of a comprehensive technical white paper documenting the agentic pet AI framework that will power our new pet vivo B2B veterinary practice platform. which we will market through our wholly owned subsidiary, Petvivo AI Inc. The white paper validates the technical foundation underlying the platform. It provides veterinary professionals, investors, and industry stakeholders with detailed visibility into the multi-agent artificial intelligence architecture, which will enable transformative clinical and economic benefits for veterinary practices. Given the strength of this report, we expect our Pepvivo AI solution to rival mainstream AI applications in terms of adoption rates and thereby create tremendous visibility of our brands, particularly Spring with Osseocushion technology and Precise PRP. Beta testing continues and has been advancing well, and we anticipate the official commercial launch to take place in the near future. The launch will introduce both Digital Landia's Agenic Pet B2C app and Pet Vivo's new B2B platform. Now, for an introduction to a functional spring-like product, in the first fiscal quarter of this year, we established a strategic partnership with Paeso Biomembrane, a spinoff from the University of Connecticut that is pioneering biodegradable piezoelectric materials designed for implantable and regenerative applications. Through this collaboration, we have been advancing the research and development of revolutionary functional biomaterials that can promote regeneration, restoration, and or remodeling of damaged or injured tissue and bone in both animals and humans. The combination of these two technologies, spring and piezobiomembranes, piezoelectric material is creating an exciting new future for Pet Vivo, one that we believe will be transformative for not only our growth outlook, but also for veterinarians and their many precious patients. We have now completed stage A of our three-phase joint research and development project that successfully demonstrated that materials from our mutual products can be combined into a single offering, which can generate piezoelectric activity that provides therapeutic benefits to animals and humans. Stage B, which is now underway, will determine if the combined products can be mass produced at scale and demonstrates a preliminary indication of safety for administration and animals. This stage is progressing very well to date. The final stage, stage C, which is expected to begin in the second calendar quarter of next year, will determine definitive safety and efficacy of the product. Altogether, our latest new technologies have created an exciting future for Pet Vivo that is transformative to not only veterinarians and the patients they serve, but potentially for humans as well. Looking ahead, we expect to see continued strong sales momentum and market penetration for the duration of fiscal 2026 and beyond. In fact, we have never been in a better position to accelerate our growth and expand across high growth markets. The U.S. animal health market is expected to double to $11.3 billion by 2030. Such massive growth is rare for such an already large industry and it and it provides us amazing tailwinds. For the full fiscal year ending March 31st, 2026, we continue to see another year of record growth and improving bottom line as we continue to expand the use of spring and precise PRP, as well as advance our other new products on our expanding medical therapeutics platform. The third and fourth quarter of the fiscal year have been traditionally the strongest. particularly given the increase in annual industry events during the third fiscal quarter and typically drive greater product awareness and new orders. In fact, given our current growth momentum, we see the fiscal third quarter having the potential to produce another very robust revenue outcome. As we continue to grow and expand over the coming quarters, we will remain committed to advancing the best in pet health solutions and ensuring our products reach more veterinary professionals and pet owners with our success in these efforts driving greater value for our stakeholders. Now I'd like to turn the call over to our commercial and operations advisor, Mike Eldred, to provide us an update on the company's sales marketing operations efforts, as well as some other exciting events occurring in the company. Mike.
