Thank you, Dilip. Now I'll discuss the financial results for the year. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $58.8 million. This was an 8% increase compared to $54.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Primarily, in rental revenues. The increase in revenues is primarily related to the addition of larger customers, increased penetration into our existing customer accounts, and the resolution of the oncology drug shortage affecting certain products which was having a negative effect on our new patient startups on our pumps, as well as a major third-party payer group revising their claim processing guidelines in the fourth quarter. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $42.9 million, an increase of 21% compared to $35.4 million in the prior year. It represented 73% of revenues in the current year compared to 65% in the prior year. This increase in the gross margin as a percentage of revenue in 2012 was primarily related to the increase in rental revenue, specifically third-party billings, which generate a higher gross margin than sales revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our selling and marketing expenses were $9.9 million compared to $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. As compared to the prior year, these expenses remained consistent at 17% of revenues. Getting our selling cost back in line as a percentage of revenues was a goal for the entire 2012, one that was accomplished in the fourth quarter. During the year ended December 31, 2012, our general and administrative expenses were $23.1 million compared to $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. General and administrative expenses have increased from 33% to 39% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily related to an increase in professional service cost related to the concerned stockholder group, additional legal and accounting and outside service fees of $2.2 million were incurred during the year related to this matter, and the Fifth Amendment to the credit facility. Severance payments for the former CEO amounted to $1 million, and $0.6 million was recorded for retention payments to key employees during this ongoing matter, and we incurred $0.6 million associated with our decision to evaluate potential strategic alternatives. These increase were mainly attributable to the aforementioned increase in finance and accounting staff and several other general and administrative accounts. These costs were primarily offset by the reversal of previously recognized stock compensation expense of $1.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded interest expense of $3.3 million compared to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. These increased amounts were mainly attributed to the payment of the monthly ticking fee equal to 1% per month of the aggregate amount outstanding on our Credit Agreement under our Fifth Amendment, which amounted to approximately $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, we had cash, cash equivalents of $2.3 million and $4.7 million availability on the revolving line of credit compared to the $0.8 million and $4.9 million availability on the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2011. Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $5.5 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue. As mentioned in our third quarter call, we intended to refinance our indebtedness prior to maturity in order for us to maintain sufficient funds for our operations and alleviate the burden of the additional cost generated by the Settlement Agreement and the Fifth Amendment. As previously released on November 30, 2012, we entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo and PennantPark as lenders. This is a 4-year deal, interest on the term loan is payable at the company's choice of LIBOR plus 7.25%, and we also have a LIBOR floor of 2% in there. For the Wells Fargo prime rate, plus 6.25%, and that also has a floor of 3%. As of December 31, 2012, interest was payable at LIBOR plus 7.25%, which equaled 9.25%. This is much more favorable than the old rate plus the 1% ticking fee per month that we had under the old credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $3.8 million compared with $1.5 million in the year-ago period. For the year 2012, adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million compared with $10.3 million, excluding asset impairment charges for 2011, all adjusted on a similar basis. We use adjusted EBITDA as a means to measure the company's operating performance. We have a full reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to net income or loss in our press release issued yesterday evening. The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We ended the quarter with accounts receivable days outstanding or DSO of 47 days in line with this time last year. Our day sales in inventory or DSI declined from 8 days to 7 days due to higher sales. Our day sales on medical equipment held for rental or sale increased from 13 to 15 days due to increased equipment levels. Day sales and accounts payable declined from 26 to 12 days, mainly due to the payment of expenses related to the Settlement Agreement. In summary, as Dilip stated earlier, this year is one that we are proud of. Getting back to profitability, while strengthening the balance sheet. This concludes the formal part of the call. With that, we'll open it up to questions. Operator?
