Thanks Nadir. First, I'd like to say thank you for the warm, welcome. I'm very pleased to join Sysorex at this stage in the Company's growth and I look forward to leveraging my more than two decades of financial management experience to help Sysorex achieve its promising future. I will now discuss the results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $14.9 million, compared to $14.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. A $600,000 increase in revenues or approximately 4.2%, was primarily attributable to an increase in professional services revenue. Total third quarter 2015 revenue included $10.3 million of storage and computing revenue, $871,000 of SaaS revenue, $487,000 of mobile, IoT and big data products revenue and $3.2 million of professional services revenue. Total gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $4.4 million, compared to $4.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately 30%, compared to approximately 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. GAAP net loss attributable to common stock holders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.2 million compared to $2.5 million for the prior year period. This increase of $700,000 was primarily due to an adjustment to the AirPatrol and tangibles resulting in a decrease of approximately $450,000 in amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, we incurred approximately $125,000 more in operating expenses. Approximately, $174,000 more in amortization of intangibles for the LightMiner acquisition offset by approximately $113,000 more in gross margin from professional services sales during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Pro forma non-GAAP net loss for the three…

Thanks Kevin. We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter as it represents growing traction of our integrated solutions in a number of existing and new verticals and demonstrate that we're building a solid foundation for growth and profitability going forward. I would like to take a moment and remind everyone, how far we have come from being a sub $5 million revenue government IT services company on the pink sheets in 2013 to a NASDAQ listed technology with $63 million in revenue in 2014 and growing. We have completed integration from sales to engineering of four acquisitions that provide key IT and technology in today's hottest segments including IoT, indoor locationing and big data. With these accomplishments, we are very confident about our prospects for continued growth across business segments as our solutions are being chosen for their superior ability to drive value and ROI for customers in ways that our competitors cannot. The addition of our LightMiner product into our solution sales mix adds a crucial core value driver for clients in the form of an advanced, superior and faster data management and analytics -- faster data management analytics that we feel places us in an even stronger position to generate growth. Sysorex's products and services create real value from data and we are at the forefront of our competitive physician with a tremendous opportunity before us. We've begun to see real uptake for our AirPatrol solutions and the response to our LightMiner analytics platform have been superb from a diverse blend of potential customers that seek to exploit the value from their ever-growing volume of data. With that Emily, I think we're ready to open up the call to any questions.

[Operator Instructions] Our first question is from Josh Nichols of B. Riley. Please go ahead.

Josh Nichols

Regarding the -- since the rollout of the $1 million AirPatrol U.S. government award that you talked about briefly on the call, how quickly might that rollout come and how many additional buildings do they have that you could be placed into?
NA
Nadir Ali
Analyst
Hey Josh. Thanks for the question. So, we expect that initial rollout to be completed within Q4, so by December 31 of this year and then the client has many additional buildings. I can't get into specifics in terms of how many because that's confidential information, but we expect this to be a substantial opportunity for our AirPatrol product line and certainly looking forward to expanding the footprint within this agency across their locations.
JN
Josh Nichols
Analyst
And anything you could tell us with LMS coming out in early 2016 for potential partnerships with AirPatrol on that front?
NA
Nadir Ali
Analyst
Absolutely, so one of the reasons we acquired LightMiner was because its fit with the AirPatrol technology. So, if you think about AirPatrol and the real time locationing that it control in the data that we would be capturing, whether it's for a security application with the government agency example or in other verticals where we're capturing data across traffic in a public environment whether it be a mall or casino, event, all of that data has been processed in real time and be able to come back and deliver results out at the edge in terms of a security alert, a marketing campaign, an event notification and so how they LightMiner in their -- that's optimized for speed. You'll be able to capture all of that data across multiple locations perhaps and be able to bring that back and trigger those events is key, and so, certainly with our initial rollout of AirPatrol analytics, light minor will play a key role and adds that opportunity expands into the Internet of Thing, I think it gets even stronger for other type of applications.

Our next question is from Mike Crawford of B. Riley and Co. Please go ahead.

Mike Crawford

Thanks. Maybe I'll just add a couple to Josh's, so Nadir, you've had some nice storage and computing wins lately. How does the pipeline of storage and computing customers that Sysorex have, how does that look like as a pipeline for selling additional services and big data products too?
NA
Nadir Ali
Analyst
I think that touches on one of the key themes of today's call which is that we are continuing to make progress on providing cross selling and integrated opportunities for all of our solutions. So, if you look at the Daruna contract, it's a perfect example. It started out as an AirPatrol opportunity that was then expended into some of the infrastructure products, analytics and other things right. So, we continue to see that growing, a lot of our customers that are starting out with storage, or high performance computing are adding on services and certainly with the launch of LightMiner will get more involved with the analytics and bring those opportunities to our customers. Our sales team has been cross training across all of these products and are continuing to improve in being able to send that message across our customer base. So, I expect that to grow and that's a key part of our strategy.
MC
Mike Crawford
Analyst
Thank you and then just further regarding Daruna. This is for one of its planned communities. What's the status of opportunities related to other potential communities Daruna might be able to land?
NA
Nadir Ali
Analyst
Great question, so yes, I mean, if you do look on the Daruna website, they are pursuing other communities that are even larger than the one that we're currently engaged on and we are a partner and continue to build that relationship with Daruna, so as they move forward and pursues these other communities, we are hopeful that we'll get to play a part in those and so, I don't have any specifics on timing yet, but that is something that is in the near future that they're going after and we're a close partner and look forward to building that business base.

Hi Nadir. Congratulations on the quarter and to all. Just a question that relates to -- so as it relates to kind of what you're seeing for the comprehensive solution in the marketplace, are you seeing, you know, I know there's been a number of beta tests for the kind of full solution, are you seeing kind of orders starting to come to fruition in this recent order that you announced, this large one from Daruna, that's an example of that or how would you describe kind of the, I guess the growth curve in terms of -- or the adoption curve in terms of the comprehensive solution that offers.
NA
Nadir Ali
Analyst
So, yes Daruna is a perfect example of that and there are more to come. And it's not just with the combination of AirPatrol and maybe our storage and computing segment, it's a combination of all of these things that we're doing, right, so, whether it could be services, it could be the LightMiner product. I mentioned the example of how LightMiner can help with the analytics that we intend to deliver with AirPatrol and so the combined offering is going to be something that's going to continue to grow every quarter. I think we're going to build more and more of that as we move into 2016. Keep in mind, these products can also sell on their own right? So the U.S. government, agency rolled out with AirPatrol doesn't naturally involve these other segments built with your control we've always segments that could be a huge opportunity for us, as well as some of these other engagements on the analytics side, but yes, the combined offering is even more of a value proposition that that Sysorex can offer and uniquely offer in combination for what we're doing. So, we'll see more of these types of wins as we go forward and those segments will continue to grow as we break it out, right, so you can see exactly where mobile, IoT starts to sell. So, you'll you see those higher margin, higher our value segment starting to make more of an impact in biologic part of our sales mix which will drive some of the other legacy segments as well.
RS
Ross Silver
Analyst
Thanks for that and one other question for you as it relates to the recent capital raise, there's sort of capital raises to keep the lights on and then there's capital raises to attract new business and sort of fuel these new business opportunities and it seems as though this recent capital raise was to help you achieve and roll out some of these new business initiatives. Is that sort of the right way to think about it or how should we think of this recent capital raise.
NA
Nadir Ali
Analyst
Yeah absolutely look, I mean, we're a microcap company that is focused on growth and we're a technology company and so we have some big wins that have provided some great backlog for us right, but you need to be able to build out your control censors to be able to deliver on those contracts. You need to hire folks and execute on these contracts, and so, we're poised for growth, we are focused on growth and so, as most microcap companies do, we need to raise capital from time to time, to be able to achieve that. So, that was the primary motivation behind it and we're excited about the growth and revenue that we'll see from the investments that we're making today.
