Good afternoon. Thank you, Donna. Welcome to Home BancShares First Quarter 2022 Earnings Release and Conference Call. Actually, in spite all that's going on in the world with global and risk inflation resulting in rising wholesale prices, and increasing CPI Index coupled with spiking interest rates, closing our largest acquisition ever, it really was a pretty solid quarter. Pretty plain vanilla, $0.40 EPS with -- I think that exceeded a little bit if I'm not mistaken. With a fortress balance sheet and massive liquidity of $3.8 billion, plus or minus a little more, but it changes every day, Brian, does it?
