Thank you, Darren and welcome everybody to our Q2 2015 Earnings conference call. I will make some initial comments about our fiscal second quarter before handing over to Jess to add more [inaudible] numbers and the to Matt to add some commentary on our operations and recent events. After that I will give an update on some current initiatives and open the call to Q&A.
During the fiscal Q2 last year, we only had two acquisitions, Cyber 360 and Control Solutions International. Since then, we have completed three further transactions, [inaudible]National, Poolia UK and People Serve. This has fueled our expansion from approximately $2 million in revenue in Q2 2014 to $34 million in Q2 2015 and places us at over $130 million in revenue on current annualized basis.
