Thank you so much, Peter, and good afternoon, everyone. Since our last quarterly call, we’ve continued to evaluate the best means to pursue near-term revenue and position the company for long-term success, all the while being vigilant over controlling our costs and preserving solid balance sheet, which is free of debt, and we believe comprise of sufficient cash to generate shareholder value in the coming years. We expect the balance sheet strength and managing operating expenses while focusing on the best means to accelerate revenue will take us to a leading position in the pregnancy and women’s health market in the future.
