Jay Miller: Thank you, Alan, and good afternoon, everyone. We’re glad you could join us today. As usual, I’d like to start by thanking our more than 750 employees worldwide for their dedicated efforts. These people are truly Nortech’s most important competitive advantage. Our team members work hard every day to deliver the mission-critical electrical components, higher level assemblies, complete finished products and engineering services our customers rely on. Today, I’d like to especially recognize team members at our two international facilities. Alan and I are speaking to you from Nortech’s facility in Monterrey, Mexico, about 1,500 miles south of our Minneapolis headquarters. This week, we held our quarterly Board of Directors meeting here, and it’s been a great opportunity for our Board to see our Monterrey team in action.
