Jim McGorry will review the company's business strategy and opportunities and comment on HART's recent animal studies that revealed significant results from its second generation (Gen2) bioengineered implant platform for the esophagus, trachea and bronchus, as well as the company's near-term milestones.

The study design has been completed, prerequisite tests are underway and the Company expects the animal surgeries to occur in December. HART looks to initiate human compassionate use procedures during 2016.
