Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks for joining. I'm going to get us started here in about a minute. So I figured if you don't come today's call without a question for me, I'm not 100% sure why you're here. You have to have thought of some question or some piece of knowledge you're trying to gain from joining an investor call like this. I try to think about these calls more as Q&A opportunities than there are opportunities for me to speak too much. I wrote down a few thoughts.

Often, we talk about inflection points. If I look back over the last 10 years, I'm sure I've written many letter as a CEO and as a Chairman about an inflection point, and the truth is, is that in the micro cap in the small-cap world, the entire journey is defined by a series of inflection points because it's so much about survival in the beginning. It's not as much as people think, I have a great product. I have a great team. It's about how you deal with a lot of rough times getting something off the ground. And all entrepreneurs know this and all the best ones have gone through it.

And shareholders in this space in the public markets, which let's not call them something that they're not. They are public markets, but they behave like private markets. First of all, any investor who invest is in the small-cap entrepreneurial world and is looking for short-term gain is in the wrong space. This is like the private equity market. It's 6- to 10-year holding period. And if it's a score, it's a big score. So this is really about in our world, it's really about surviving particularly when there is very little there's very little clear paths, it's a space filled with obstacles. Many of the shareholders on the call today are from an acquisition we did recently with FLYHT previously named [ Fluger ].

And really, when you look at that acquisition, that was a win-win for both sides, that's the kind of -- if you're a shareholder, and you're in a company, for instance, that's entrepreneurial-minded like [ Fluger ] was looking to IPO itself and along comes an opportunity for a company to purchase it that's on its way to that IPO. That's an inflection point.

Now, when you're a shareholder in this space, you're looking for something real, something transformative, big score. And that 6- to 10-year waiting period has to be rewarded with the proverbial 10 bagger. But there really is a deeper truth that drives both companies and investors forward. And that is creating or in our case, recreating or being part of the future.

And in an age of radical transparency, I thought we'd get right to the point of the call, which is the future. What do you want from it? And what do we want from it? You want to be able to have tradable liquid shares in a company that I hope you're invested in over time that will make the time invested with the value earned at the end of it.

And so when I look at what I want, I want to be able to be rewarded for providing you with that opportunity. I would like to be able to run a company that competes in the public markets, makes money in the public markets and trades at a significant premium because of the quality of its team, its earnings, its product and its entire narrative.

In our case, that narrative has changed recently. And that's because economic cycles change rapidly, not just that they change rapidly in terms of the scope of the change, but they change rapidly in terms of the time between business cycles today. Utilizing a publicly traded entity to buy or build private entities to create that arbitrage of value is something that people have chased for hundreds and hundreds of years of modern capitalism.

I think that when we look at created and what it's gone through the past I would say, 6 months since the acquisition of FLYHT, it has been to set us up to deliver on that value. How we're going to deliver on that value is by racing for a listing on a national exchange. And I hope that when we get to the national exchange, rather than find the reward of management to be sellers. My goal is hopefully to have turned many of you into buyers.

And with that, I would say, again, what you want, I understand. That's the role of the CEO. Many of you I have spoken to directly over the phone. Many people are uncomfortable with this kind of radical transparency that I practice. I don't know any other way of doing it. And so for me, I know what you want. I hope that you know what I want. And then you trust that you'll put your money into an investment that I will take seriously and work to create the return on that investment that you initially made in either my company or FLYHT.

With that said, I don't want to discuss things that I've already put in the press release. I'd like to talk about any questions that you may have regarding the earnings regarding the revenues, regarding the uplifting regarding getting liquidity in the stock. Any questions that you have I'd love for you to just ask the question whether it's through the chat or raising your hand. And one of us will see it and answer your question. So who's going to ask the first question?
