Lisa… 2 Lisa Brady Thanks, Joe, and good afternoon, everyone. We appreciate you taking the time today to be on this call. The second quarter of 2024 generated revenue of $1.9 million, an increase of 4.4% over last year’s second quarter. The second quarter is historically our slowest quarter of the fiscal year for park attendance as we’re in the middle of the winter season. While the proxy contest initiated by Focus Compounding in December has been a significant distraction, we continue to execute on our strategic plan to better position Parks! America for improved performance in the quarters and years to come. So, with that, we are pleased to report an increase in revenue over last year’s comparable quarter. We had a particularly strong performance from our Missouri Park as it posted a 48% increase during the quarter, primarily driven by our proactive online marketing campaign, which is delivering a strong return on dollars invested. We are taking a very targeted approach to allocating marketing dollars, focusing on highly qualified audiences that would naturally have an affinity to an adventure like our Wildlife Safari Parks.
