As Brendan mentioned, my name is Gary Atkinson. I am the Singing Machine CEO. I'm joined this morning by Lionel Marquis, Company CFO. I'd like to thank everybody for taking the time to be part of our third quarter earnings call today to discuss the results of the December 31st, 2022 quarter. First, I'd like to provide context around our sales numbers for the quarter and the seasonality of our business for those that are not as familiar with our annual sales patterns. Despite our wholesale sell-in numbers for this quarter, demand for consumer karaoke products remained very strong. The real challenge to this quarter was timing and getting our products into retail. Normally, our sales cycle is heavily driven by daily demand, which gradually depletes inventory from our allotted shelf space. At this point, we do our best to replenish inventory on the shelves during the non-peak months. Primarily in fiscal year Q2 and fiscal year Q3, our retailers bulk up on inventory as needed in preparation for the holiday season. Last calendar year, that traditional sales cycle was partially disrupted by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions. There was a buildup of retail inventory on the shelves at the end of the first quarter of calendar 2021, which slowly started to make the retailers gradually more cautious throughout the rest of the year. This trend was not unique to our business and affected most year-round brands that sell into retail. As a result, we saw sales become increasingly front-loaded over the calendar year. We are pleased, however, to report that we did experience very strong retail at sell-through numbers for the products that we were able to place. Simply put, the quantities of inventory that we were able to get onto retail shelves sold well. This was despite retailers' concerns and reactions to the elevated risk factors surrounding the overall economy in the back half of the year. We still continue to see steady demand for our products, and we believe that reflects well on our brand and on our technology. I will now turn the call over to Lionel Marquis, CFO, who will go over the financials in more detail. Go ahead, Lionel. Thank you, Gary. Good morning to everyone, and thanks for participating in our third quarter earnings call. This morning I'd like to share some key financial takeaways for our third quarter ended December 31st, 2022. We saw a significant decrease in net sales for the three months ended December 31st, 2022, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, with revenues of $7.1 million compared to $21.2 million, respectively. Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $35.9 million compared to $44.7 million, respectively. We experienced decreases in net sales to all of our major customers of approximately $8.8 million year to date. We attribute this decrease in net sales to the following factors. All of our major customers began the holiday season with excess inventory held over from the previous year due to late deliveries caused by significant supply chain issues experienced at the end of calendar year 2021 and early into 2022. While our customers' initial sentiment was positive for a recovery during 2022, news of economic recession, runaway inflation, and interest rate hikes dampened customers' expectations for the upcoming holiday season, resulting in a risk-averse approach to carrying inventory. Consequently, customers severely cut back on buying inventory that they had previously committed to or required significant increases in co-op promotion incentives on goods sold during the three months ended December 31, 2022. Co-op promotion incentives for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased to approximately $1.1 million or 16% of net sales as compared to approximately $0.8 million or 3.7% of net sales during the same period of the prior year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, co-op promotion incentives increased to approximately $2.2 million or 6% of net sales as compared to approximately $1.8 million or 4% of net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. Our gross profit decreased to $1.3 million compared to $5.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 versus 2021. A decrease of approximately $4 million. The decrease in net sales, as we discussed above, accounted for approximately $2.5 million of the decrease, with the remaining decrease primarily due to the increase in co-op promotion incentives, again, as we discussed earlier. Our gross profit decreased to approximately $8.4 million compared to $10.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 versus 2021, respectively. A decrease of approximately $1.8 million. The decrease in net sales accounted for $2.0 million of the decrease, offset by a slight increase in gross profit margin of approximately $200,000. There were increases in gross profit margin of approximately $1.2 million, or 3.4 margin points due to price increases and decreased landed costs for products due to decreasing costs of shipping costs containers. shipping container costs, sorry. Unfortunately, these increases in gross profit were offset by gross profit margin decreases of approximately $1 million or 2.8 margin points due to the co-op promotion incentives, as we discussed earlier, and an increase in excess and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves. Operating expenses remain relatively flat at $3.6 million for both the three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. It should be noted that there was a one-time compensation increase of approximately $400,000 associated with the change of control and employment continuation agreement reached with the company CFO, which was offset by decreases in bad debt and repair reserves. Operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 were approximately $10.0 million as compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended in the prior year, an increase of $1.7 million. While this was a large increase in operating expenses, it's worth noting that there were some significant one-time expenses that contributed to the increase, including increases in legal and professional investor relations, stock transfer fees of approximately $600,000, primarily related to public offering, the NASDAQ uplisting, the change in control issues or regulatory filings, preparation costs relating to our new credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank, an arbitration settlement of an alleged employee practice violation lawsuit against a former temporary employee. Increase in compensation expense of half a million dollars, which included compensation for additional members of the board of directors, officers and employees incentive compensation. New hires as well as merit increases one time, and the one-time increase in compensation of $400,000 related to the change of control and employment continuation agreement with the company CFO. There was an increase in travel and entertainment of approximately $200,000, which included participation in the large Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which the company had not participated in for the past two years, and an increase of approximately $100,000 in our logistics operation, primarily due to inflation-related costs. As a result of these operating activities, we recognized a loss from operations during the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 of approximately $2.3 million compared to net income from operations of $4 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $3.6 million. We recognized a loss from operations of approximately $1.6 million for the nine-month period ended December 31st, 2022, compared to income from operations of approximately $2 million for the same period ended December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of approximately $3.6 million year-to-date. We recognized a net loss of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1.4 million of net income for the three months in the same period last year. It should be noted that during the three months ended December 31, 2022, there was a one-time expense of approximately $183,000 associated with early exit fees upon termination of our credit facility with Crestmark Bank and Iron Horse. Iron Horse Credit, we recognized a net loss of approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income of approximately $2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. It should be noted that during the nine-month period of the prior year, we had the benefit of a $236,000 one-time gain from the settlement of accounts payable with one of our factories and from the forgiveness of the Paycheck Protection Program loan of approximately $448,000 with no similar gains during the nine months ended December 31, 2022. On October 14th, we entered into a new credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank as lender, replacing our credit facilities with Crestmark Bank and Iron Horse Credit that were terminated by the company on October 13th, 2022. The credit agreement provides for three-year secured revolving credit facility and an aggregate principal amount of $15 million decreased to $7.5 million during the period of January 1st through July 31st of each year. The credit agreement matures on October 14th, 2025. The revolving credit facility bears interest at either the prime rate plus 0.5% or be the 30-day term secured overnight financing rate, better known as SOFR, S-O-F-R, plus 3%. As of December 31, 2022, the company is in default of the agreement as we did not comply with the required financial covenant of maintaining a monthly debt coverage ratio of 1.05 to one. To date, the bank has not taken any action to accelerate the company's obligations under the credit agreement, and we are currently in negotiations with 5/3 to obtain a waiver and renegotiate a fixed coverage charge ratio covenant. However, there can be no assurance that negotiations will be successful. As of today, there are no borrowings against the credit facility, so an acceleration of loan payment, if it came to that, would not present any significant additional hardship on the company. As negotiations continue to progress with the bank, the company plans to supplement cash flows from operations from several resources and activities, including the following. We intend on raising additional cash through an equity offering. We are also going to utilize the dynamic discount programs offered by several of our major customers, allowing for accelerated payments of invoices in exchange for an early payment discount. We also are dealing with a one-time reimbursement of payroll taxes of approximately $750,000 from the Employee Retention Credit program. We're gonna continue to work with our factories for extended payment terms, and we are currently aggressively planning to sell excess inventory during the coming year, which is gonna increase our cash position significantly. Management believes that our cash on hand, our working capital net of cash, expected to be generated from operating forecasts and cash expected to be raised through the equity offering along with availability of our cash from the credit agreement with 5/3, will be adequate to meet the company's liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. While the company is optimistic that it'll be successful in these efforts to achieve our plan, cannot be any assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, the company has a continued support letter from its parent company, Alliance, through March 31, 2024. Overall, we've made some significant improvements in gross profit margins during the nine-month period ended December 31st, 2022, compared to the same period the prior year. Unfortunately, the good work that was done in this area was offset with unexpected third quarter decrease in net sales and exceptional co-op incentives that were required for customers to sell through their inventory. We've managed to keep selling expenses commensurate with increase in net sales. We have encountered significant one-time general administrative expenses during this fiscal year with regards to legal, professional compensation, and other expenses associated with equity events that have occurred during this fiscal year. We're gonna continue to address inflation-related costs going forward, and it is our primary goal to be in position to take advantage of an economic recovery that is inevitable at some point. That's my report, Gary. I'd like to turn it back to you. All right. Thank you, Lionel. Before we move to Q&A, I'd like to finish on 1 final point. We believe the core demand drivers for our products remain unchanged. We are still the number one brand and the captain of a thriving karaoke category that is expanding, not shrinking. Consumers are interacting with music and singing more so than ever. Our goal is still to deliver a best-in-class product that brings people together to enjoy music and karaoke. Our technology provides the highest quality experience and capabilities to bring families and friends together to share music and community, whether that's in home, in car or in person. To that point, we are not seeing any pullback in excitement or enthusiasm for the karaoke category. We're not forecasting to lose any shelf space in karaoke for the coming year, and we believe we will start to see a return to normal. Beyond this quarter, we are very excited about our emerging automotive segment that we successfully launched and demoed at CES last month. We look forward to providing more substantive updates in these efforts in the near future. With that concludes our report. I'd like to turn it over now to any questions that might be out there. At this time, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your touch tone phone. You may remove yourself from the queue at any time by pressing star two. Once again, star one to ask a question, and we will pause for a moment to allow questions to queue. Once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your touch tone phone. It appears that we have no more questions at this time. I will now turn the program back over to our presenters for any additional or closing remarks.
