We had another successful quarter. Production operations are smoothing out and our supply chain issues remain but are being managed well. We made good progress on our engineering design efforts during the quarter, however, we still have hurdles to clear in the coming months. We continue to work well with our customers to resolve any engineering related issues. With an increase in sales and income for the first six months of the year, we are positioned well to finish the full year with overall strong financial results.
