Thanks, operator, and good afternoon, everyone. During our fiscal fourth quarter, we continued to make exciting strides towards commercializing our second diagnostic product line, the Evo sEEG Electrode. In addition, we made substantial development progress with our therapeutic technology, and we increased our financial runway as well. Let's first discuss the progress with commercialization efforts regarding our Evo sEEG product line. We received clearance for less than 30 days use from the FDA in October 2022 for similar indications as our Evo Cortical product line, and now expect to begin the commercial launch with Zimmer Biomet in the first quarter of 2023. sEEG Electrodes represent the bulk of diagnostic procedures performed today due to their less invasive placement by neurosurgeons. Many of these procedures currently utilize a robot to enhance precision during electrode placement. We expect the Evo sEEG Electrodes to be used with Zimmer's ROSA robotic platform in the same manner. The company also recently shipped the initial Evo sEEG limited market release order to Zimmer Biomet and is ramping up manufacturing to meet additional orders for a future full product launch. Moving to our OneRF therapeutic ablation electrode system, we had previously reported that we were targeting completion of animal feasibility studies in the fourth calendar quarter, with the potential to complete the product development by the end of calendar year 2022. As a reminder, the system is being designed to both record brain activity and ablate brain tissue using the same electrode. Currently, two separate hospital visits and surgeries, one for diagnostic and one for therapeutic, are required to treat patients that have seizures due to epilepsy. Combining both the diagnostic and therapeutic functions into one device is intended to save time, cost and contribute potentially to improve patient outcomes. We have also discussed our intent to…

Thank you, Dave. We have not yet filed our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. We will provide the full financial results, when our independent registered public accounting firm completes its audit procedures. As of September 30, 2022, the company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $11.1 million. We also had no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022. That concludes my remarks. I'll now pass it back to Dave. Dave?

Thanks, Ron. And looking at the past fiscal year, I'm very proud to highlight some of our accomplishments. We completed a public offering, raising gross proceeds of $13.35 million. We've received a $3.5 million accelerated payment from our distribution partner, Zimmer Biomet related to certain milestone events. We successfully completed feasibility testing of our OneRF ablation system, facilitated by Dr. Robert Gross of Emory University and Dr. Jamie Van Gompel at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. We completed initial testing for our chronic use electrode platform. We received 510(k) clearance of our second product line, the Evo sEEG Electrode product family for less than 30 day use. We received and shipped the initial order from Zimmer Biomet for our Evo sEEG Electrodes, and we rang the NASDAQ Stock Market closing bell to commemorate our FDA clearance milestone for the Evo sEEG Electrode technology. In closing, the company made great progress in fiscal 2022 in a wide variety of areas, including commercialization, development, and capital raises, which will allow us to continue to execute our plan, with the intent to introduce meaningful advances in electrode technology for a wide variety of neurological applications. I want to thank you for your time and attention. I want to wish you a wonderful holiday season, and I look forward to providing future updates on our progress.
