Thank you, Eric, and good afternoon everyone. First, I'm going to review the financial results of our second quarter fiscal year 2019 and then provide our outlook for the third quarter and full-year fiscal '19. All income statement items except revenues are on a non-GAAP basis and exclude expenses such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and acquisition related charges. The reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial data and other key business metrics can be found in the press release issued earlier today, which is available on the Investor Relations section of our Web site. Now Q2 '19 results. We had a strong second quarter performance, achieving $31.7 million of total revenue as we exceeded our previously issued guidance range of $30.5 million to $31.3 million. This was an increase of $3.5 million or 12% on a year-over-year basis and are pleased with our growth driven by continued execution, particularly for Ooma business. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal '19 was $943,000 within the previously issued guidance range of $800,000 to $1.3 million. Ooma business subscription and service revenue grew 49% on a year-over-year basis and revenue contributions from Ooma business are now 27% of our total revenue compared to 22% in the prior year quarter. Our residential subscription and services revenue grew 10% on a year-over-year basis. The combined subscription and services revenue from the core businesses, namely Ooma business and Ooma residential grew 19% year-over-year. As a reminder, we refer Ooma Office, which is our small business solution and Ooma Enterprise our customizable UCaaS solution, together as Ooma business. Consistent with our expectations, Talkatone revenue for the second quarter was $1.2 million, a 20% decline year-over-year and was relatively flat compared to first quarter of fiscal '19. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal '19, subscription and services revenue was 90% of total revenue compared to 89% in the prior year period. Product revenue for the second quarter of fiscal '19 was $3.3 million, 9% increase year-over-year. This product revenue increase was driven by sales of phone security bundles, Butterfleye cameras, as well as some product sales to a large telecommunications service provider. I'll now take this opportunity to add some color on the progress of Voxter and Butterfleye acquisitions we recently made. Starting with Voxter first; we are making good progress, building solid infrastructure for Voxter, such as a billing portal and a more robust and automated system for regulatory stack compliance; and we continue to add new product features and have integrated our lead generation and other marketing activities with Ooma Office. All this progress gives us confidence and makes us believe that Voxter is well positioned but future users and revenue growth. Now some details on Butterfleye. As Eric mentioned earlier, we started shipping Butterfleye cameras during the second quarter, having resolved some initial production issues and are now working to create new retail channels for Butterfleye cameras. On the product development side, we continue to add new features to make Butterfleye more competitive in the market place. With that some details about our customer metrics now. Our total core user base increased 7% from $895,000 core users at the end of second quarter of fiscal '18 to approximately $955,000 core users at the end of second quarter of fiscal '19. Our business users grew to 15% or of total core users at the end of the second quarter of fiscal '19, up from 11% at the end of second quarter of fiscal '18. Our blended average monthly subscription and services revenue or monthly ARPU increased to $9.56 in the second quarter of fiscal '19 compared to $8.61 for the prior year period. Annualized exit recurring revenue was approximately $110 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal '19, a 19% year-over-year increase. We are pleased to have achieved 100% net dollar subscription retention rate for the second quarter compared to 98% for the prior year period. Now some color on gross margins. Overall, gross margins were 50% for the second quarters of fiscal '19 and fiscal '18. Our subscription and services gross margins were strong at 70% for the same period. Product and other gross margins was negative 23% for the second quarter compared to the prior year quarter of [Technical Difficulty]. During the second quarter, we started the production of Butterfleye camera and as a result, we incurred some incremental material and freight charges. Now on to operating expenses, second quarter operating expenses were $20.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million or [16%] on a year-over-year basis. We ended the quarter [Technical Difficulty] employees and contractors, up from 646 in the prior year quarter. Overall, sales and marketing spend increased by approximately $1.3 million [Technical Difficulty] as compared to the prior year quarter to drive growth of Ooma business. During the quarter, we also started marketing activities in terms of branding and creating market awareness for Ooma Home Security. While the benefits from these marketing and branding efforts are expected over a longer timeframe, we believe we are well positioned to gain market share in the future. Research and development expenses was $7.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 22% on a year-over-year basis to support enhancements made to Ooma business as well as the development of new features for Ooma Home Security including Butterfleye. G&A expenses [Technical Difficulty], a 6% increase from the prior year period to support the growth of the business, including the two recent acquisitions. Our net loss in the second quarter of fiscal '19 was $943,000 or $0.05 loss per share compared to a loss of $396,000 or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of fiscal '18. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $645,000 in the second quarter of fiscal '19 versus a loss of $71,000 for the same period last year. Now some details on cash, we had cash investments of $48.6 million with zero debt at the end of the second quarter of fiscal '19. The second quarter of fiscal '19 cash used in operations was approximately $800,000 compared to cash generation of approximately $1.3 million in the prior year quarter. This cash was used to support the growth of Ooma business, as well as building Butterfleye camera inventories. I will now provide our third quarter and full year fiscal '19 outlook. The following guidance excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles and acquisition related charges. For the third quarter of fiscal '19, total revenue is expected to be in the range of $31.5 million to $32 million; we expect non-GAAP net loss in the range of $800,000 to $1.3 million; non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.07; we have assumed 20 million of weighted average shares outstanding for Q2. For full year fiscal '19, based on our revenue trends, we are increasing total revenue guidance for fiscal '19. Revenue is now expected to be in the range of $125.5 million to $127.5 million. Given the increase in marketing activities on Ooma homes security, in addition to our ongoing commitment to Ooma business, we expect non-GAAP net [Technical Difficulty] to $4.5 million. Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.18 to $0.23. We have assumed approximately 19.9 million weighted average shares outstanding for fiscal '19. In summary, we are pleased with the second quarter financial results and our business momentum positions us well to execute towards our long-term growth strategy. With that, I'll pass it back to Eric for some closing remarks. Eric?
