Thank you. I'm Joseph Visconti, the CEO of Twin Vee Powercats. Thank you and good afternoon, and I thank you for taking the time to participate in our Q1 2022 financial results call. I will start off by providing several Q1 updates on our company's progress and discuss our plans moving forward. Can you hear me? Carrie Gunnerson, our CFO, will then give a financial update on the company, and that will conclude with our Q&A. Twin Vee Powercats manufacturers and sells a variety of catamaran sport boats here in our Fort Pierce, Florida factory. We currently employ around 145 employees. Through Q1, sustained demand for our products continues. Our backlog of orders remains around 200 boats, and the stocking inventory of our dealers remains at low levels, under 20 boats as of this week. As previously discussed, we are currently manufacturing and selling our GFX model line of Twin Vees. With the addition of our new 400 GFX and 260 GFX, Twin Vee will have a total of eight GFX models available through our dealer network. Twin Vee’s GFX models include the 240 Center Console, two 24-foot Dual Consoles, 26 - our new 26’ Center, two 28’ Center Consoles, our 34’ Center Console, and our new 40-foot Center Console. Prices of our boats range from $120,000 for a 24’, to over $800,000 for a fully equipped 40-foot GFX. We continue to experience ongoing but manageable supply chain issues. Material and component prices continue to rise. Shipping delays still exist. Twin Vee is dealing with the same supply chain challenges that most manufacturers are facing today. Our purchasing and procurement team really stepped up big time. Our team members are being proactive, chasing down parts, opening new vendor relationships for components and materials, making sure that our assembly line continues…

Thank you, Joseph. Beginning with the income statement, our revenue for the quarter was up 83% or approximately $2,678,000 from $3,208,000 in 2021, to $5,886,000 in 2022. Our gross profit for the quarter was up 64% or approximately $946,000 from $1,488,000 in 2021, to $2,434,000 in 2022. We continue to monitor the costs of our raw materials and our purchase components, and are adjusting our sales price accordingly. Our net loss for the quarter was approximately $1,191,000, compared to net income of $132,000 in 2021. However, in 2021, we did not have either of our subsidiaries. Forza’s portion of our net loss was approximately $514,000. The net loss from our core business, gas-powered boats, was approximately $626,000. Further, when we look into our adjusted net loss for the quarter, which excludes non-cash charges, our adjusted net loss for our core business, gas-powered boats, was only approximately $152,000. Our net loss is a reflection of the investment the company continues to make to increase the number of models and the production line capacity. We continue to aggressively recruit experienced production staff and are not only increasing productivity, but also efficiency. Our short-term goal of one boat a day, will increase our annual production to over 200 boats in 2022, which will add to our financial strength. Turning to the balance sheet, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $11,039,000 as of March 31, 2022. At this time, we believe our cash, cash equivalents, and cash from operations, will provide sufficient cash to finance operations. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Joseph.

Thank you, Carrie. In conclusion, I believe Twin Vee is coming off a very strong first quarter. We're continuing to see a significant backlog of orders and low dealer inventory. We've also begun production on new boat models that will increase the variety of our product offerings. In addition, we're working on expanding our dealer footprint to allow our products to reach new customers across this country. Based on all this forward moment, we remain confident in our ability to deliver value to our shareholders, and believe the remainder of 2022 and beyond will be an exciting time for Twin Vee Powercats and our stakeholders. I want to thank Twin Vee and Forza 1 team members. We could not thrive without the many skilled and experienced men and women that come to work every day, build our beautiful boats, and push a marine electrification forward. And finally, I want to thank our shareholders for their support and everyone on the call today for their time and interest in Twin Vee Powercats. I would like to open it up for questions now.

[Operator instructions]. And our first question comes from Brian Carstens with ThinkEquity Bank. Please go ahead.

Thanks, Joseph, and congratulations on the quarter. I'm just curious, how do you see yourself positioned relative to your competitors, and how do you see this space continuing to evolve? Thanks.

Thank you, Brian. It's a great question. We can see continued momentum in the catamaran multi-haul industry. I think it's really taking shape, and there's a lot more kind of onesie, twosie catamaran boat builders that are appearing at these boat shows on national level. So, that shows a lot of excitement in the multi-haul space. And I think that when you're talking about any producer that's building over 100 units annually, there's only a couple - well, there's two companies, World Cat and Twin Vee. World Cat, I believe, builds 330 units annually. Twin Vee will build over 200 units this year, and this is under the 40-foot segment. So, with our new 26’ coming online this year and our 40-foot, our largest boat, I think in our current backlog and the excitement, people learning about multi-haul and ride quality and fuel efficiency and all the great attributes that multi-haul boats offer, I think that we're going continue to grow.

[Operator instructions]. And our next question comes from Keith Van Allen, a private investor. please go ahead.

Yes. Hi. Thanks for taking my question. Just wonder if you could give me an update on the Forza IPO.

Sure. So, the good news is that the SEC gave us a no-comment letter about two weeks ago. We're working with our bank, ThinkEquity, to refine our presentation. Obviously, the market is in a pretty rough condition right now. So, ThinkEquity is driving this process, obviously the lead bank on our deal. And what I'm being told, and I think we all know is, we need to start to see the market stabilize a little bit, and then we'll begin our roadshow. But as far as going through the SEC and NASDAQ with our S1, that's - we’re ready to roadshow. So, I think the good news is that with these higher gas prices, we see electrification happening all over the world in many different industries. So, hopefully, this market kind of like figures out what it wants to do so we can get public. But that's not stopping us by the way. We continue to - Twin Vee has $11 million in the bank. We continue to push forward. We're doing the tooling on our Center Console, our Dual Console. We've designed our factory. We’re receiving our orders for our batteries. I mean, so nothing is slowed. I mean, I think the IPO from a financial perspective, will add to putting up the factory. Much of that raised capital as to build out a new factory. So, Twin Vee, as you saw, is well capitalized and continues to fund the progress forward for Forza.

Okay, great. Thank you very much.

[Operator instructions]. At this time, I would now like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Joseph Visconti for any closings remarks.
