Thank you, Stuart. This is Michael Mo. I apologize for my voice today. I'm a bit [indiscernible] to weather. I'm pleased to report that Q3 was an inflection point for KULR as we reached record revenue of $1.39 million. We ended the quarter with $16.2 million cash on the balance sheet. We are well-positioned to build a leading energy management platform to accelerate the global transition to sustainable electrification economy. As we have communicated to our shareholders throughout the year, we are making significant investments in our people and infrastructure to prepare and accelerate the growth ahead. We have doubled down in manufacturing and automation infrastructure in North America. In Q3, with 4.46 million vendor [ph] deposits compared to $2.15 million in Q3 of 2021. We expect the trajectory of investments to moderate as we enter our next growth phase to monetize all investments that we have made. As we enter into the monetization and growth phase of our business, our gross margin profile will fluctuate in the range of 30% to 50% in the coming quarters. This is a function of us to engage different customers with a wide range of products and services during the quarter. Aerospace and DoD customer engagements will typically have higher gross margin profile, whereas mass market commercialization products will drive more topline growth. We expect gross margin to monetize -- try to normalize in 2023 as our customers in multiple market segments enter volume productions. As we prepare for volume production of our customers for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023, we nearly tripled our inventory deposits in Q3 to $1.03 million compared to $390,000 the year ago same quarter and $691,000 in Q2 of 2022. We expect inventory level by the end of Q4 to increase from current levels. The KULR…

Thanks, Michael, and thanks for those joining our call today. We appreciate you. First off, I will share what I tell our team almost every day. This is a great time to be at KULR. Our team is highly energized as we head into the close of the year. I feel the true sense of accomplishment coming from the team as we deliver into production, multiple products the team have been working on in the last 2 years. One platform that we are particularly proud of is the deployment of our automated lithium-ion 18650 and 21700 battery cell testing capability, which meets the performance requirements of the very complex NASA Work Construction 37. KULR will have the only fully automated test system capable of meeting for Construction 37 to deliver high volume testing of battery cells required for all-man missions by NASA and many other DoD branches. The system will launch operation in December, and KULR will begin shipping fully tested cells in January of 2023. Another exciting platform recently acquired is KULR VIBE, as Michael had mentioned. The incredible technology uses artificial intelligence with a self-learning algorithm to provide precise calculations to balance any device that spends or rotates, thereby virtually eliminating vibrations. KULR VIBE was originally created to fix track and balance problems for military helicopters, and we will continue to expand this service offering in the near future. However, I think many will ask how this relates to KULR's mission of supporting renewable energy. So let me explain that. The reality is that vibration still energy and performance by creating friction and impedance. When the device is based on a battery technology, it's imperative that vibrations are eliminated to maximize battery life and increase performance. KULR VIBE recently balanced the motors and blades of a mission-critical drone to demonstrate the benefits of the technology. The results were a 23% increase in battery life and a lift increase of 45%. The same motors, same blades, just KULR VIBE optimized. I would also like to share that in July, KULR completed ISO 9001 Certification, demonstrating our commitment to operating at the highest level of quality and performance by utilizing a certified quality management system. The team did a tremendous job of preparation and delivered the certification with zero nonconformance findings. Lastly, KULR has been able to recruit and maintain high-quality talent in support of our growth during a period of very tight labor markets and intense competition for that talent. We are very thankful for the dedication of our team. And as I said, it's a great time to be at KULR. And with that, I'd like to turn it over to Simon Westbrook for financial comments.

Thanks, Keith. I'm going to provide some financial comments on the third quarter this year versus the third quarter last year. Firstly, from a revenue point of view, we reported revenue of $1.39 million in the current quarter compared to $601,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This was an increase of 132% as a result of increased shipments following the improvement in supply constraint issues last year. Our selling, general and admin expenses increased to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $3.1 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The 40% increase in SG&A expenses was due to additional marketing and advertising expenses, consulting fees and noncash stock-based compensation paid for employees and consultants and expansion and kicking out our new office and production facilities. R&D expenses increased 122% from $482,000 in the third quarter of 2021 to $1,070,000 in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting a combination of headcount and new and automated test and production equipment, continuing our investment in in-house manufacturing and assembly facilities that was begun in the last quarter of 2021. Our loss from operations increased 56% from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The $1.8 million increase in operating loss included increases in payroll, travel, advertising and marketing expenses, professional fees related to the introduction of new accounting systems and research and development projects. Our net loss increased by 80% from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 to $5.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. The net loss per share for the third quarter '22 was $0.05 as compared to $0.03 for the comparable period last year. Finance related costs increased by $814,000, largely due to a one-time charge related to the $1.5 million financing and retirement of the remainder of the $5 million promissory note. As a result, we now have no debt outstanding. The EPS would have been a net loss of $0.04 per share, excluding this one-time charge. At September 30 this year, the company reported a cash balance of $16.2 million compared with $14.9 million at September 30 last year. This leaves us well-positioned to expand operations, support new business and consolidate our manufacturing operations in the U.S. to ensure greater control over logistics in the face of continuing worldwide uncertainties. Now back to you.

Thank you, Simon. And that does conclude our opening statements by management. We are going to move on to the Q&A session. Once again, we are joined by several analysts who are currently covering the company, but one of them, Jake Sekelsky Managing Director, Senior Research Analyst at Alliance Global Partners is unable to connect with us at the moment. However, we did receive his questions in advance. So here is the first question. As the focus on higher energy density batteries increases, do you expect to seek expanded permits for safe case?

Yes. I take that. Yes, as you know, the automotive and some industrial applications are making their batteries higher energy capacity. It also means making them more modular. So we are working on expanding the [indiscernible] product line to accommodate higher energy capacity of 10 kilowatt hours.

Very good. Now moving on to a question regarding VibeTechnologies. You recently announced the acquisition of VibeTech. Should we expect topline growth from this to show up in 2023?

Yes, Stuart, I will take that. This is Keith Cochran. Absolutely. We are in the final sign-off of a long-term agreement to support a large commercial aviation company with KULR VIBE services. You can look forward to that announcement once the documents are fully executed, which should be sometime during this quarter. Additionally, we have many engagements underway to support funded DoD projects, and we are currently working to secure that business also during Q4.

Thank you, Keith. Here is the next question from Jake. We've seen the drone industry start to mature and become more widely adopted, and battery safety should be a primary focus here. Should we expect additional partnerships in this vertical over the near term?

Yes, I will take that as well, Stuart. As I shared in my remarks, we are in the midst now of the full scale launch of KULR VIBE, and the results have been nothing short of astounding to those that have witnessed the demos. Accordingly, we are in conversations now to finding service agreements with those potential customers. Additionally, we are in discussion to incorporate CellCheck, TRS and provide battery pad design and architecture in the drone industry to dramatically increase the safety of [indiscernible].

Excellent. Now we are going to be joined by analysts for Litchfield Hills Research, that's Theodore O'Neill. Theodore, are you with us on the call?

Yes, I’m. Thank you.

Go ahead with your question, Theo.

Right. You can you hear me?

Yes, we can.

Great. Can you give us an update on the planned rollout of your customers' commercial drone production schedule or some sort of milestones over the next 12 months for that program?

Yes. Hi, Theo. We can't comment specifically on any specific customer strong production schedule, but what we can say is that we unveil an energy storage product that can be used for large commercial drones that is fast charging, high charge rates or high discharge rate with KULR VIBE capabilities embedded in the battery together with CellCheck kind of what Keith just talked about. This will be integrated unit, and we expect that to be the central power and the intelligence unit for the vehicle and that we expect to demo that in CES 2023 and [indiscernible] design wins in 2023, next 12 months.

So I understand your customer wants to protect what their plans are, but is there any possibility there will be revenue out of this in the next 12 to 24 months? Can you even say that much?

Yes, there is.

Okay. Thanks very much.

Thank you.

All right. Thank you, Theodore. And now we are going to move to an analyst from Taglich Brothers. We're joined by Howard Halpern. Howard are you on the line?

Yes, I'm. I'm pinch hitting for John. John is, typically the one asking the questions, but he's not available today, but he did leave me with a broad question. You've put a lot of work in this year, but could you really flesh out what the key elements that you have put in place to drive significant revenue growth next year and over the next 5 years to, I guess, reach your goal of $350 million potential in the next 5 years?

Yes, Howard, thanks for your question. I appreciate that. I will take this one, Stuart. Yes, there are four areas of products. We have a hard line of sight on that will drive our top line in early 2023. Those areas are a KULR safe case, our TRS materials, our automated lithium-ion battery testing service and the use of our allocation of lithium-ion cells for Molicel. We are expecting further topline pickups from KULR VIBE as it ramps its customer base throughout the year. We further have new product announcements coming in Q1, which we are also very excited about. I think that is the base platform that we have in place today. They are really foundational to the company, and we will expect to see a pretty significant revenue growth in 2023.

Okay. Okay. Thanks and keep up the great work, guys.

Thanks so much, Howard. I appreciate it.

Well, gentlemen, that concludes our question-and-answer portion as well as our comments from management. That wraps our call for today. I'm going to turn it over to our operator now, who will close out the call.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This does conclude today's conference call and webcast. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and have a wonderful day. Thank you once again.
