Our second quarter 2018 results are consistent with our August 2nd press release. We are pleased that the Audit Committee was able to complete its independent investigation, and are proud that the outcome reaffirms that we operate our business according to the highest ethical principles. We continue to see momentum building as our team focuses on executing our vision of identifying, locating and authenticating every item in our everyday world.
