The Vuzix management team remains committed to the growth of the company, and insidersincluding myself (CEO), Grant Russell (CFO), Paul Boris (COO) and one of our independent board members, Ed Kay, all recently purchased Vuzix stock in the open market this fall. We firmly believe Vuzix shares represent great value, and we are dedicated to achieving our primary goal of establishing Vuzix as a market leader in this dynamic sector and maximizing returns to all ourshareholders. The investor base at Vuzix continues to strengthen, as evidenced by an uptick in institutional ownership to 16 percent of shares outstanding. With all that is ahead of us, management continues to focus on institutional outreach and growing our overall institutional ownership.
