Thank you, Rich, and thank you everyone for joining the call today. As Rich mentioned, during the quarter, we overachieved our revenue and profitability expectations while becoming cash flow positive and reducing balance sheet leverage. Net revenues for the current year third quarter of $25 million, represented an increase of $3.6 million or 17% over the prior year third quarter. ITS segment net revenue growth of $2.2 million or 16%, outpaced the net revenue growth of the smaller DME services segment, which increased by $1.5 million. However, the DME services team was not to be completely outdone by the ITS segment as this represented an 18% increase from the prior year third quarter. ITS growth continued to be driven by favorable market penetration in the oncology business, resulting from an improved competitive landscape. Pain management net revenues, which are part of the ITS segment continued to recover during the quarter from the COVID-19 shutdowns, nearly doubling on a sequential basis from the 2020 second quarter and staying in pace with an increasingly tougher comparison to the prior year. The DME services segment net revenue growth was led by increased rental revenue, which increased by $1.1 million. Some of the DME services segment growth was the result of the COVID-19-driven increase in market demand, which may moderate when the pandemic resides. However, a greater portion of the growth was represented by an expansion in market share with national home infusion service providers and the addition of new devices to our product portfolio stemming from new partnerships and device manufacturers. The higher revenues translated into both higher adjusted EBITDA, which increased by nearly $2.5 million or 46% to $7.5 million during the quarter; and improved adjusted EBITDA margin, which grew to 30% during the current quarter compared to 24% in the prior year, once again demonstrating the company's ability to convert net revenue growth to improved earnings. The improvements were driven by both an improved margin mix and fixed selling general and administrative cost coverage. During the 2020 third quarter, operating cash flow totaled $8.4 million, which nearly doubled operating cash flow during the first two quarters of this year on a combined basis. The amount was also 61% higher than the operating cash flow from the prior year third quarter of $5.2 million. The improvement was due to both much higher net income adjusted for non-cash items and due to a reduction in working capital. Lower working capital was mainly due to the return of normal levels after having increased in the first half of the year as we prepared for the effects of COVID-19. You may recall that due to our COVID-19 preparations, we accelerated our purchases of medical devices into the first half of the year. Because of this, net capital expenditures totaled only $0.5 million for the 2020 third quarter, which was much less than either the prior year amount of $7.6 million or that of this year's first and second quarters, which totaled $4 million and $4.5 million respectively. This reduction along with higher operating cash flow, allowed us to repay 100% of our outstanding revolving line of credit borrowings, increase our cash on hand, a combined net improvement of $5.8 million while also making $1.7 million in regularly scheduled amortization payments due under our term debt facilities. As a result, our ratio of funded debt to adjusted EBITDA, as of September 30 2020, decreased to 3.6 -- sorry, 1.3 -- 1.36 times, down from 1.77 times as of June 30 2020, and down from 2.11 times at the end of 2019. Our total available liquidity at the end of the quarter, which totaled $17.5 million, consisted of $9.8 million in availability on our revolving line of credit $5.7 million available under an open capital expenditures facility and nearly $2 million in cash. The amount represented an increase from our available liquidity of $11.7 million at the end of this year's second quarter, but down from $20.9 million as of December 31t, 2019. We estimate that our liquidity position will continue to improve in the fourth quarter of this year as our working capital position continues to level off and operating cash flows continue to outpace our capital expenditures as we round out the year. With that I'll turn it back over to Rich.
