We added 11 new significant global accounts while demonstrating the repeatability of our revenues with 73% event sales coming from existing clients. Our new CAPSULE Display, launched in late May, has been extremely well received for both purchase and rental, with 13 clients in all regions of the world purchasing units in Q3. We fully expect CAPSULE to make a significant impact on our plan to get to profitability in 2023 and reach $50M in annual sales in the coming years. With virtually no debt and a strong cash position, we remain very excited about our future.”
