Go ahead, Brian. Thank you, Allison. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you all for joining our first quarter fiscal 2023 financial results conference call. I'd like to open today's call by sharing that given our progress in the first part of this year, I am even more bullish about 2023 today than when we spoke during our earnings call last quarter. We now expect to grow fiscal 2023 revenue by more than 30% over fiscal 2022. During Elias' prepared remarks, you will hear us provide our highest quarterly revenue guidance in recent history. Most importantly, my confidence is high that we will achieve positive non-GAAP operating income starting in the third quarter of 2023, as well as on an annual basis. With that opening, let's get into details. Q1 was in line with our expectations provided during our fourth quarter call. We reported revenue of $4.1 million, of which new product revenue was $3.1 million. Our results continue to be driven by our eFPGA IP-based products, including the Rad-Hard program for the U.S. government, our continued shipments of smart connectivity and display products, and our SensiML AI software platform. Looking at some of the quarter's highlights, the top-tier semiconductor company that is integrating a private label version of a SensiML-powered solution to address its own customers' demand across its broad microcontroller line of products is nearing their product launch. This private labeling of the SensiML toolkit provides significant revenue potential as a result of their large installed customer base and sales force. Our large strategic radiation-hardened FPGA contract for the U.S. government was our largest contributor to revenue in the quarter, and we remain positive on the next steps based upon continued successful performance of the base contract. The next steps are, of course, at the discretion of the U.S. government. As a reminder, this current contract is for the development of the prototype FPGA and does not include any of the possible device sales to the defense industrial-based customers. We believe this market to be several hundred million dollars in size and are intent on capturing our share of it in the coming years. On the strength of our numerous eFPGA IP-based opportunities, our sales funnel grew to over $125 million, the largest in QuickLogic's history. Included in this number are deals for both eFPGA IP as well as bespoke or semi-custom device development that incorporates our eFPGA IP. These deals span numerous foundries, process technologies, and end markets. One of our unique strengths continues to be that we offer a full spectrum of solutions ranging from eFPGA IP all the way to full chip designs which incorporate that IP. As a reminder, we have multiple revenue sources within this product category. The primary ones being design services, IP licenses, royalties, and finally, device sales via our storefronts. Design services is how we monetize the R&D resources to develop our IP or bespoke devices for a customer, typically recognized as we do the engineering work. IP licenses are typically one-time events recognized with the delivery of our IP to a customer. Royalties are typically a small percentage of the final device ASP recognized as our customers ship devices that include our IP. Finally, storefront simply means that our customer is buying a finished device from us. This could be because they lack the expertise in developing eFPGA enabled products, or it could be that they don't have the supply chain in place to produce and test the devices for volume production. We've had this supply chain in place for decades and can monetize this value with our customers. More than ever before, the fact that we have been a trusted and reliable supplier of FPGA devices is one of the many reasons why we are winning opportunities to be more than just an IP provider. In November of 2022, I shared that we had taped out a new device for a customer that incorporates our eFPGA IP. Revenue from the shipment of these test chips to our end customer will be recognized during this current fiscal quarter. Due to confidentiality requirements, I am not allowed to share any further details on the specific design win, other than I believe it represents tens of millions of dollars in potential device revenue starting in a couple of years. As mentioned on our previous call, one of the contributors to our pipeline growth is a new government-focused eFPGA IP-based contract targeting a 12 nm process node. This is our first contract for the 12 nm process node, and we continue to believe there will be several more during this fiscal year. We did recognize revenue from this contract in Q1 and expect to recognize additional revenue throughout 2023. Moving to chiplets. We are seeing additional customer interest in chiplet-based opportunities, and we do expect to generate some revenue this fiscal year from either design services and/or IP licensing that would fall into the chiplet category. Moving to our mobile phone business. We expect our customers' inventory digestion to continue through at least the current quarter of this year. However, we have been told that we are being designed into new models of phones that will ship well into 2024. Finally, we are forecasting flat revenue on our display bridge and mature product segments. While both will continue to contribute to gross margin uplift, they are still being impacted by well-publicized macroeconomic factors. Fortunately, our fiscal 2023 growth is forecasted to primarily come from eFPGA IP related design wins. Before turning the call to Elias, I want to reiterate our revenue outlook for Q2 and the remainder of fiscal 2023. As discussed earlier in my prepared remarks, we have made significant progress in building our eFPGA IP related and software businesses over the past two years. This groundwork has led to a diverse and growing pipeline, which supports our current expectation for revenue in Q2 to be approximately $5 million ±10%. Our current forecast shows a sequential ramp in our revenue throughout the remainder of the year, making us confident we will now exceed the 30% annual revenue growth we discussed last quarter. We are also on track to report our best non-GAAP operating income in over 10 years, turning the corner to profitability starting in the third quarter of this year and on an annual basis as well. Let me now turn the call over to Elias for a review of the financial results. Elias, please go ahead. Thank you, Brian. Good afternoon, everyone. Our performance in Q1 was in line with our expectations with revenues of $4.1 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $0.5 million, reflecting another full quarter of revenue contribution from our large $6.9 million contract for strategic radiation hardened FPGA technology. With anticipated future additions to this contract plus growth in other commercial areas, we continue to believe we will likely get to profitability on a non-GAAP basis in each of the final two quarters of 2023 and for the fiscal year. Let me now turn to the review of the results for the first quarter. As I said, revenue in Q1 was $4.1 million, an increase of 1.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of 0.9% compared to the first quarter of 2022. The sustained growth is mainly due to increases in eFPGA related revenue, partially offset by a decrease in new hardware product revenue. Within our Q1 revenue, sales of new products were approximately $3.1 million. This compares with $2.8 million last quarter of 7.5% and $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, down 11.4%. Mature product revenue was approximately $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million last quarter and $0.6 million in Q1 of last year. Non-GAAP gross margin in Q1 was 59.7% compared with 53.2% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 61.5% in the first quarter of 2022. The improvement in gross margins from the fourth quarter benefited from a change in the mix of deliverables within eFPGA related revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses in Q1 2023 were approximately $2.9 million. The OpEx for Q1 was lower than our forecast due to reclassifications of certain R&D expenses to cost of goods. This compares to operating expenses of $2.4 million last quarter and $3.1 million in the first quarter a year ago. Non-GAAP net loss was $0.5 million or a loss of $0.04 per share based on 13.2 million shares. This compares to a net loss of $0.5 million or $0.04 per share last quarter and a net loss of $0.8 million or $0.06 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Total cash at the end of Q1 was $20.9 million, compared with $19.2 million at year-end. The continued investment to support the new design wins we have discussed was offset by the approximately $2.3 million raised in March at near market rates from existing shareholders. Additionally, timing considerations related to cash receipts from customers contributed to a net higher utilization of cash from operations. In Q1 2023, we had three customers that each accounted for 10% or more of our revenue. Now, moving to our guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which will end on July second, 2023. As Brian discussed, revenue guidance for Q2 is approximately $5 million, ±10%. Due to the reasons he outlined, revenue is expected to be comprised of approximately $4 million of new products and $1 million of mature products. Based on this revenue mix, non-GAAP gross margin for the quarter, fourth quarter will be approximately 55% ±5 percentage points. We will continue to see margin variances each quarter due to product mix and volatility in cost of goods sold. Our non-GAAP operating expenses will be approximately $3 million ±10%. On a quarterly basis during 2023, we believe OpEx will remain below the $3 million range, with occasional increases to support new programs. After interest expense, other income and taxes, we currently forecast that our non-GAAP net loss will be approximately $0.3 million- $0.6 million, or net loss of $0.02- $0.06 per share based on roughly 13.4 shares outstanding. Pardon me, 13.4 million shares outstanding. The difference between our GAAP and non-GAAP results is related to non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. In Q2, we expect this compensation will be approximately $0.7 million. As a reminder, there will be movement in our stock-based compensation during the year and may vary each quarter based on the timing of grants to employees. Moving to the balance sheet. Even with continued investment to support the new design wins that we have discussed, at the midpoint, we expect cash usage to continue to be below $1 million per quarter. As we stated earlier, with the new large design wins and overall momentum in our business and a lean operating structure, we should see continued sequential improvement in revenue in the back half of the year, leading to positive non-GAAP operating income. Thank you everyone for joining us. With that, let me now turn the call back over to Brian for his closing remarks. Thank you, Elias. This is a very exciting time at QuickLogic. We are on the cusp of profitability. The business has been transformed, driven by our eFPGA IP-based products, including the Rad-Hard program for the U.S. government, our continued shipments of smart connectivity and display products, and our SensiML AI software platform. QuickLogic FPGA technology is steadily extending its reach to new customers, markets and applications. Our growing pipeline is supporting our strong conviction that we will see acceleration in our revenue starting this quarter and sequentially in each of the remaining quarters this year, leading to non-GAAP operating income profitability for all of 2023. I would like to again thank all our key stakeholders, including investors, customers, suppliers and most of all, the QuickLogic and SensiML teams for their continued support. That completes our prepared remarks. Operator, I would now like to open the call for questions. Thank you. We will now be conducting a question- and- answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your headset before pressing the star keys. One moment please while we poll for questions. As a reminder, press star one to ask a question at this time. Thank you. Our first question comes from Richard Shannon with Craig-Hallum. Please proceed with your question. Great. Thanks, Brian and Elias for taking my questions and congratulations on a good start to the year here. Maybe I'll start with a top-down question on your sales growth guidance of at least 30%. You sound increasingly confident of that. Wanna get a sense here of some of the, you know, new contributions or areas where there's more certainty. It certainly sounds like SensiML might be built into that. Wanna get a sense maybe kinda do the top down here where the confidence is coming from, including that, and then I'll probably have a follow-up on that one. Yeah, thanks for the question, Richard. Most of the revenue growth is gonna come from the eFPGA-related products, by far. That being said, we are forecasting growth in both eFPGA and in SensiML for the year. We give a little bit of airtime to SensiML on the soon to be rolled out private label version of the tool with the microcontroller company. Some of the anticipated revenue from that initiative is definitely baked into the second half of the year. Again, I would say the ones that we have more clear line of sight to between now and the end of the year are falling into the eFPGA product category. Okay. How much of from the embedded FPGA category are you baking any more revenues or at least more confidence in the strategic Rad-Hard part? Also, to what degree are you seeing increased, you know, activity within the 12 nm node as you talked about last quarter and added a little bit more commentary this one? I'll go in reverse order on the questions there. On the 12 nm, we are seeing a lot more activity on that node, and a lot of inbound interest now. The more we get out into these, what I'll call government or defense-oriented trade shows and conferences, we're starting to get higher visibility in what we're doing and a lot more inbound interest on that. That's increasing our confidence on getting multiple 12 nm licenses this year. On the government contract, I'm really not at liberty to say much other than there is some revenue from that built into the forecast, obviously, and we're feeling comfortable to include some of that in the back half of the year as well. As we think about your second half of the year, where you're talking about, you know, positive pro forma operating income here, how do we think about the gross margin dynamics? I understand there could be some volatility on the delivery of the Embedded FPGA contracts, but how do we think about the gross margins as we go into the back half? Yeah, Richard, I'll take that on. You know, we, the company's outlook for sure has not changed. We're still targeting the 60% gross margin long term. The mix of deliverables, with us getting more development work early on, it's changed the scheme a bit. That's why we're guiding that halfway 55% to that 59%, right? Give or take 10%. You're gonna see some volatility down the road until probably next year. The long-term outlook is definitely for the sixties. Okay. All right. Fair enough. I'll have one more question to jump out of line here, Brian, to get on the embedded FPGA topic. Some nice improvement in the pipeline, which is great to see. I'm gonna ask a slightly different question, which is kind of understanding how the competitive dynamics in this space are evolving and kind of where do you see QuickLogic having the greater levels of success. You're talking about success in a lot of different market areas, although government seems to be a fairly concentrated one for you. Maybe you can just talk about the competitive dynamics in this market. That'd be great. That's all for me. Sure. Within the embedded FPGA space, there's primarily three companies outside of QuickLogic that are having an eFPGA-based product. One is Achronix, which also does devices and I think chiplets. They tend to focus on the very high end of the performance range, and we don't typically run into them in competitive situations. The IP-based, the IP-only based startup companies are Flex Logix and Menta. Flex Logix being a U.S. company, Menta being a French company. They have different types of products than we do. Menta is a soft IP company. Flex Logix is hard IP. I think that both of those tend to focus on proprietary tools, just like Achronix and almost every other FPGA company for that matter. Why are we different and why are we winning? You notice that only Achronix had devices and IP. The other two companies only have IP. Increasingly, what we are seeing with our customers is they like the ability to choose. What do I mean by that? We offer IP, we offer devices, we have chiplets on our roadmap, as I've already discussed, and that provides a choice to the customer in how they want to work with us. We're not forcing them into one way of doing business. The other thing I'll say is that our development approach allows us to very quickly provide a core for a customer that is based on their requirements. Again, it's their choice. We don't have a singular product on a process node and say, you know, "Here's our product. Go make multiple copies of this to get to the requirements that you have." We can actually give them a custom-tailored version in an automated approach, that meets the requirements. Last, I'll say, there's a big buzz now developing around open source tools and the level of transparency and inspectability that gives to the end customer. It's would be obviously important in areas of security, to have that sort of, inspectability of the tools, but I think other customers are starting to look at that same thing now too that are outside of the security area. We are the first company that has really embraced the open source user tools, invested in them to that degree, and providing that as part of our solution to our customers. I think that's starting to resonate and create some wins for us. That's the high level comparison. I mean, there's other ways that we can go down into details on each and every one and how we would do competitive positioning. Again, if you go back up to the high level, we're really the only company that has the very fast to market approach in how we deliver IP that ultimately is tailored for the customer, not a stock product. We're the only ones that give this choice to customers, whether they want IP all the way to a full turnkey device that they may need. That's really resonating with the customers that we're winning with today. Okay. Perfect. Love all that detail, Brian. Thanks for that. That's all for me. Thanks. Thank you. Our next question comes from Martin Yang with Oppenheimer. Please proceed with your question. Hi. Thank you for taking my question. My first question is on the test chip as whose revenue will be recognized this quarter. Can you give us a bit more details on, you know, how long does it take from the test chip to higher volume shipments, and what are the key drivers for the timing of a higher volume revenue? Thanks for the question, Martin. Just for clarity, are you referring to the customer tape out that we discussed in particular? Yeah, the November 2022, tape out. Okay. Yeah. Yep. I would say in general, it takes a couple of years to go from tape out to customer shipments. The reason being is that you would typically bake into that some test ship phase and some validation and then a final tape out, and then the resulting manufacturing cycle times, some more validation, and then the final bring it up by the customer. We're forecasting a couple of years for that reason. That's fairly typical, I would say. Sometimes it's longer. Like we said publicly, the bigger government project could be four years, and it's probably understandable why that would be longer, but in most cases it's around two years. By the way, we saw the same for us too, even when we were doing chips for ourselves and selling them to the customer base. If you have lead customers lined up for that, it still takes a couple of years before they can get something designed into a system, validated and be ready to take some reasonable volume. Got it. Thank you. My next question is on private label SensiML. You know, what does the revenue pattern look like? Is there any upfront payment involved, in addition to SaaS revenues? Yeah. get traction in their own customers? Yeah, it's a great question, Martin. If you, I think, dig through the filings that we've done on the financials, the Qs and whatnot, I think you'll see revenue contribution from SensiML has gone up and gone down a little bit. The little going up momentum is around getting payment for some of these things, but it's not just existing customers or subscriptions, but also some of the work and licensing associated with the private label agreement. As we develop and deliver things, and then that company goes through their integration work, there's sort of a lull in the revenue for them specifically before they push that out, the private label version out to their own customer base, and then we start getting follow on business from their customers. We're in that sort of transition point where they have what they need from us. We had some earlier revenue recognition for that early upfront work. Now they're integrating, and they're gonna launch. We're basing some of the second half forecast, the outlook that we gave on the call today, assuming that they are gonna be launching that successfully and getting the appropriate level of customer interest converted over to what would be SaaS agreements to us when those customers start using the toolkit in this year and then ultimately, royalties from those customers that start using those AI models in a production system. All right. Thank you. Did that answer your question? My final question, yes. Great. Is related to this one. Do you expect more private label deals such as this one for the rest of 2023? We do expect more private label deals. I think I mentioned this on some previous calls that what we have today with this first one is not exclusive. We are well within our rights to proliferate this model further, and that is our intent. I would say that the forecast numbers that we have given today on the call do not depend on having another private label deal in place, but it's certainly our target that we want to go pursue that. The nice thing about software is that once we have a certain development done and a certain way of delivering that to customers or partners in this case, we can repackage that very quickly for other customers and partners too. Again, once private label is done the first time, it's sort of a pipe cleaner for rinse and repeat type of opportunities with other partners. We're very intense, and I know the SensiML team is focused on doing that rinse and repeat this year. Got it. Great to hear. Thank you. Thanks, Martin. Thank you. Our next question comes from Rick Neaton with Rivershore Investment Research. Please proceed with your question. Hi, Brian. Hi, Elias. Hello. Hey, thanks. Congratulations on some positive results. I had a question about the balance sheet. For sure. I noticed a reclassification of some assets into contract assets, and they look like they came from accounts receivable. Can you provide some extra color on that reclassification and what it involves and why it happened? We every quarter, we go through the AR just to make sure that whoever is not paying, we know you take a reserve against them. We don't have any bad debts in the company, which is great. People pay us in time. There were a few assets that part of the review with our independent auditors resulted in us moving them around a bit. It wasn't that much, but it was just a movement around of certain things that, you know, is part of a, we call it a housecleaning of sorts. Rest assured there is no bad debts in the mix. Okay. FPGA markets have been pretty strong for the last year, Brian. A lot of that strength has been with larger use cases like in data centers and that. Your revenue outlook for the year is consistent with 30%+ growth at a lot of these FPGA companies. What trend is driving this surge in FPGA interest by customers all of a sudden? It's a good question, Rick, and I've thought about this a lot myself. I think that in general, people From a hardware design perspective, in general, people like to use standard products so they don't have to pay NREs to go off and do their own chip design. FPGAs are great standard products because they can be personalized by the customer for their use case. There's a lot of sort of reuse and customization that customers get out of that buying of a standard product. I think that, my own personal opinion, I don't know that this is in any research report anywhere, but my personal opinion is that there were and continue to be a lot of companies that have taken advantage of the pandemic and raised a lot of prices and made a lot of money, not necessarily winning new designs, but let's say maximizing revenue and profit on won designs, previously won designs. I'm actually very proud in our company and that a lot of the revenue growth that you've seen over the last two years has actually been true new wins, new product wins, things that did not exist from a revenue stream perspective more than two years ago for QuickLogic. I would like to think that that's a good contrast to what you may be seeing in the general market trend. I think moving forward, companies are having to choose where they put their inventory dollars from a semiconductor company perspective. What that means is that they're gonna probably stockpile fewer die that move a lot faster than ones that are not moving so much, and they're gonna translate that into longer lead times to their customers. It's not uncommon these days to hear lead times for FPGAs that have been shipping for a long time to have lead times over 60 weeks, and that puts a huge burden on the customer, right, to know exactly what they're gonna be needing more than 1 year from now in placing these non-cancelable orders with the suppliers. I think that that's given people, certainly customers, a impetus to go off and change suppliers where they may be able to get better lead times or certainly companies that are more flexible to work with them on what the lead time should be. I think that we're starting to see some of that now trickle into QuickLogic, and also translating, as I mentioned earlier, not just into buying standard products from us, but also companies now that are perhaps below the cut line in terms of allocation from the FPGA supplier perspective, looking at potentially doing semi-custom devices for themselves so that they can know that they're gonna get supply of these devices now well into the future. That's also driving some, definitely some near-term interest for us, although I would say that we don't have that kind of a thing baked into the forecast for this year, which I think is hopefully a positive message to the investors. Okay. I'll pause there. Appreciate that color, Brian. Yeah. I have one final question. You know, in the last few quarters, if a CEO mentions that their company's working on AI, the stock price jumps about 50%, it seems. Five or six years ago, QuickLogic had a product called QuickAI, and you've kind of, morphed or, moved forward on this concept, in using your IP and, your products. What did you learn from that effort a few years ago, and what changes have you made that is successfully moving QuickLogic into being a player, in AI applications on the edge? Another great question, Rick. My answer here could take a long time, but I'll try to keep it short. I think, if you rewind, yes, we had a product, QuickAI. QuickAI was EOS S3, our microcontroller plus FPGA device, along with some AI software that allowed people to do inferencing at the edge, in low power applications. We were focused on the very, very far edge of the network where the sensor resides, low power silicon doing inferencing, so you don't have to go back to the cloud. I mention that because typically when you see anything to do with AI, it's really talking about image recognition and computer vision and things related to autonomous driving and data centers. Like we're talking about applications that are not so power sensitive when you read about things in the news, Of course, everybody wants to talk about ChatGPT these days. I can guarantee you that we wrote our script by hand. We did not have ChatGPT write our new script today. I think that the point that I wanna make as far as what we learned is that, you know, we learned that software is actually a huge part of the solution for AI, which ultimately led to the acquisition of SensiML. It also, we learned that it is very difficult to go against very entrenched competitors. If you think about AI, you know, NVIDIA probably comes to mind because if you don't have something that needs to run at extremely low power, NVIDIA is the king of AI for silicon, right, using GPUs. I think in the five years since then, I mean, how many tens or hundreds of companies have said that they're an AI startup company now doing chips, and how many of them are actually still around, competing with the likes of NVIDIA? It's a pretty small list. I'm actually glad that we didn't continue down the silicon path of developing new chips for AI because that was became a very bloody market very quickly. On the software side, I'm glad that we acquired SensiML. I think that, if you think about AI software and you just look at the number of acquisitions that have been made in the last year alone on SensiML-like companies, it's actually increasing more and more. I think there was a new one announced today, in fact. I think that shows that there is quite a lot of value in the software for that. Who knows what that could lead to for us or the SensiML group, but I like the fact that we have that expertise and products within the umbrella of QuickLogic. Lastly, I'll say that, you know, it's been public that we've looked at FPGA or eFPGA on the same chip as a processor doing AI inferencing at the edge, that led to some of the research that we did on that Arnold device, the 22 nm RISC-V chip with embedded FPGA. That work, that research and the paper that came out of that directly contributed to us closing this 12 nm design I mentioned on the call earlier and the same call last quarter. I think that having IP and having software is probably the best way of getting into the type of AI that we can be adding value to, because it's the least capital intensive, both of those out of all the things that we could be doing in AI. It's also both of those are something that NVIDIA is not doing, so we are not competing against the likes of somebody that's so entrenched like NVIDIA. I like where we are. I like the lessons we learned, and I think that what we have now for AI allows us to have a story that's beneficial to the customer, it's credible, and it's not incredibly capital intensive like some of these AI chip companies are doing as a standalone chip company for that. In fact, I think just to add on to that, and this kinda goes back to Richard's question about how we compare to different eFPGA competitors. I think Flex Logix in fact tried to do AI chips in addition to IP, and I don't think that they're doing that anymore. It just goes to show you no matter what team and how much funding you have in place, it's pretty darn tough to go after somebody like NVIDIA with a solution, and I'm glad that we're not attempting to do that here. Brian, I appreciate all the detail and the length of time you gave in answering both of my last questions. Thank you so much. You're welcome, Rick. Thank Thank you for the questions. Thank you. Our next question comes from Jon Gruber with Gruber & McBaine. Please proceed with your question. Yeah. Good afternoon. Yeah, the funnel, $125 million. How many years is that? 'Cause unless it's 40 years, there'd be a point where, you know, if you should be drawing $8 million, $10 million, $7 million per quarter from the funnel to revenue. When does that happen? 'Cause it sure hasn't happened yet. Yeah. Thanks for the question, Jon. The funnel that we're talking about now, the numbers we're using are about, I would say, two years out and in from a total funnel perspective. We're not gonna close 100% of that. I think nobody would believe that. These are definitely qualified opportunities that we're in architecture discussions or we're in contract discussions with those customers and believe that a really healthy percentage of that can translate into revenue starting from even the current quarter, in fact, converting some of that into revenue for this quarter that would be part of this growth to the $5 million revenue level this quarter, and then sequentially the rest of this year. Yeah. You're talking $1 million increase, so we're not, you know. If your win rate is 40% of $120 million and it's two years, you should be, you know, drawing down $5 million-$6 million a quarter. Why isn't that happening? Like I said, I think this is the first quarter we're gonna get to $5 million in a long, long time, and I think that the team is getting much, much better now at qualifying opportunities and converting these into revenue. You will see that revenue growth starting from this quarter continuing on, and hopefully at some point next year we'll be throwing a $10 million handle out there instead of $5 million on quarterly revenue. I think we'd all like to see that. Thank you. Thanks, Jon. Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to Brian Faith for closing comments. Yeah. I wanna thank you all for participating in today's call and for your continued support. We look forward to speaking when we report our second quarter fiscal year 2022 results in August or at some of the conferences we are attending over the next few months, including Craig-Hallum on May 31st, Stifel on June 6th, and Oppenheimer on August 8th and 9th. Have a great day. Thank you. This concludes today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
