Thank you, Tom. This was a strong end to end milestone year for Intellinetics as we delivered consistent growth and solid profitability demonstrating that our evolution into a SaaS company has delivered improved financial results. Our quarterly revenue increased 47% while our SaaS revenue more than tripled. As a result, our net income increased 664% and our adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, giving us significant optimism as we head into 2023. This marks the 12th consecutive quarter with positive adjusted EBITDA and the 10th consecutive quarter with adjusted EBITDA exceeding $300,000. This performance is due in large part to the tremendous success of the Yellow Folder acquisition, which we closed in April 2022. We are leveraging the success of Yellow Folder and working to cross sell our services across our broader customer base. We are investing in our sales and marketing capabilities to bolster our cross selling initiatives, which enabled us to further penetrate existing as well as new markets. As a result of these investments, our bookings and our pipeline continue to grow. For 2022, we closed 466 contracts, with an estimated total contract value of $7.7 million, an increase of 25% year-over-year in TCP [ph]. As a reminder, the total contract value of most of these orders are generally recognizable in revenue over one year or less. Since the April acquisition of Yellow Folder, the Yellow Folder team sold new contracts worth $162,000 in SaaS and $220,000 in professional services, total contract value. Our K-12 operations now has over 560 K-12 districts generating significant SaaS revenue, which more than doubles our presence in this vertical since we acquired Yellow Folder. Importantly, each of these districts is a target for additional and telematic services. This acquisition expands our SaaS revenue base and also enhanced our EBITDA with high margin…

Thanks, Jim. I will now review our financial results for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 increased 47% to $4 million as compared to $2.7 million for the same period last year. The following are the components of our revenue. SaaS, including hosting revenue increased 212% to $1.2 million for the quarter from $390,000 for the same period last year. Yellow Folder contributed $700,000 of the increase. Without Yellow Folder, SaaS growth was still quite strong at 34%. Software maintenance services revenue grew 3% with price increases and expansion, offsetting a small amount of attrition and also certain customers migrating from our on-premise solution to our cloud solution, which shifts the revenue from maintenance to SaaS. Every migration case this year resulted in higher overall revenues. The combined SaaS and software maintenance revenue growth without Yellow Folder was 20% year-over-year for Q4. Professional Services revenue increased 22% to $2.1 million for the quarter from $1.8 million for the same period last year. The increase is driven by a strong recovery from the COVID Omicron surge that began last year and lingered into early 2023. As a percentage of total revenue, professional services revenue decreased to 53% of total revenue for the quarter, compared to 64% of total revenue for the same period last year. This is as expected, given the Yellow Folder acquisition primarily added SaaS revenue. Storage and retrieval services revenue increased 3% to $266,000 for the fourth quarter 2022 compared to $258,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Software revenue, which is comprised of perpetual license revenue increased to $65,000 from $4000 for the same period last year. We expect the sales of our on-premise software to continue to be a very small part of our total revenue as we…

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question today is coming from Howard Halpern from Taglich Brothers. Your line is now live.

Congratulations guys, great quarter and great year, great finish to the year. First question is in regards to the growth that you're seeing. How is your sales team -- how is that forming? And are you going to need to increase either the top sales professionals or the support staff underneath? How should we look at that going forward to drive further SaaS growth?

Thanks, Howard. That is actually a great opportunity for us. We were fairly lean in sales over the last few years. And we were over we were excelling in sales, but we were fairly lean. This year we have budgeted to hire three new salespeople. So that will actually add to our ability to grow the business going forward. The last few quarters have been very good in sales. And we continue to execute creating a pretty strong backlog of total contract value. So and we've now just really hired our first full time marketing person. So now we have two people in marketing and before we really only had half a person workup, our sales reps was doing the marketing job but at this point, we have two full marketing people and we have some pretty good budget to invest in our marketing going forward as well. So we are finally in a position after a number of years of getting a strong sales and marketing position going forward.

Okay, and in terms of the professional services, do you feel that it's now back on track and what type of capacity do you have to funnel stuff into, into the Michigan, the Michigan Office?

Yes. So, we at the end of 2021, Omnicom hit, so long ago, everybody forgets. But we had a little slow that slowdown that went, and a lot of our businesses in Michigan, and they shut down in the state of Michigan again, for the second time, I believe. And that went into the first quarter, and of 2022, so we had a slow first quarter, but then slowly grew back from there, now sales was still good, we still were creating the backlog, but just getting people in to do the production side of the revenue stream, took us, into the second quarter that we'll start building that up. Since the middle of last year, we just continued to grow, we started the second shift. We have 18 people now on our second shift, which obviously allows for more production as well. So we're in a pretty good position to continue to grow, and we do have a strong backlog in House of work that where we'll help our revenue going forward.

Okay, turning back, I guess, to the SaaS in the Yellow Folder too. Are you seeing, constant geographic expansion of where your now customers are located?

Yes, we were historically especially in the K-12 market in the Midwest, eight state and nine-state area to Midwest. Yellow Folder was out of Texas and they were in, I believe, 14,15 different states, if I'm not mistaken. And they had a handful of customers in each state, but, but actually, the hardest thing to do is break into a new state. So now we do have a foothold in quite a few states and allow us to really start expanding. And that's why we had that great success. And the whole idea of selling additional Intellinetics Solutions into that customer base, we probably have half a dozen customers now. It's only been, we bought them in April, by the time we got, integrate and everything. So we've really only been selling with these numbers, look at net here, three solid months of selling into the Yellow Folder, customer base. And we've gotten quite a few customers that are doing digital transformation. A couple that we mentioned in Michigan, and then we also got the Wharton School District for about $90,000 last year. So we're very, very bullish on continuing to cross sell into the K-12 space.

Okay, and one last one about your IPAS, IPAS. How many customer engagements are there currently? And what does the pipeline look like?

We've got six customer engagements right now that we're implementing. We've got two that we're implementing a demo environment forum for them. And the pipeline is very strong at this point.

Okay, well keep up the good work, guys.

Thank you, Howard. It's been exciting. It's been a great last year.

Thank you.

Doesn’t looks like there's any other question?

Oh, yes. Let's say we reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I'll turn the floor back over to you for any further closing comments.

Thank you, Kevin. Yes, in summary, this has been a very strong year for us for growth, and especially in the SaaS area, enabling us solid sustainable profitability. That's what we're all looking for. The pieces we have strategically assembled over the last few years have come together, as we've anticipated, enabling us to shift when more predictable SaaS model. We're focused on effectively cross selling and broadening our addressable markets. We are excited about where Intellinetics is and our future opportunities. It's great to be at Intellinetics right now. We appreciate the continued support of our longtime shareholders, and aim to attract new investors as well by delivering strong and consistent financial results. Thank you, everybody, for joining. If you have questions, please follow up with us in the future. Thank you again.

Thank you. That does conclude today's teleconference and webcast. You may disconnect your line at this time and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.

Thank you.
