Thank you. Really quick, someone just texted me and said they were trying to get into the call and were not getting an answer. Alright, thank you. Good afternoon everybody. Thank you for taking the time to participate in Twin Vee Powercats Q2 2022 financial results. I will start off by providing several Q2 updates on our company's progress and discuss our plans moving forward. Carrie Gunnerson, our CFO, will then give a financial update on the company, and we'll conclude with some Q&A. As you know, Twin Vee Powercats designs, manufactures and sells a line of catamaran sport boats from our factory here in Fort Pierce, Florida. Our model lineup for gas-powered boats ranges from 24 feet in length to our newest model, our 40-foot quad engine 400 GFX. From Q1 2022, our dealer network has increased by over 24 locations, and we currently employ around 160 employees. The past couple of weeks have been exciting and filled with a lot of promising momentum for our company. Today, our electric division Forza X1 will be brought public by our investment bank. As of today, Forza X1 will become its own independently trading NASDAQ listed company under the symbol of FRZA. Twin Vee will hold a 70% stake in Forza X1, and Twin Vee will continue to file consolidated financial statements going forward based on our 70% ownership in Forza. Now let's discuss Twin Vee's gas-powered boat operations. We are pleased to report a 158% increase in net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same quarter in 2021, and our adjusted net profit for Q2 2022 was $607,000. Again, this is for our Twin Vee gas-powered division. This quarter was our gas-powered division's first profitable quarter since Twin Vee's IPO in July of 2021. This achievement is due in part to our company adding additional models to our lineup, expanding our dealer network, and our continued efforts to streamline the manufacturing process, including our push towards a lean manufacturing facility. Lean manufacturing was first devised by Toyota and is now the gold standard in manufacturing around the world. Our unit throughput has increased to an average of 4.75 boats per week, up from approximately 3.25 boats per week in the fourth quarter of 2021. We are knocking on the door of one boat a day, which is exciting for us. We're paying close attention to market conditions, dealer inventory levels, and economic indicators that might affect our business or the buying decisions of our customers. Our goal is to sustain our current production momentum, streamline inventory levels, and remain focused on hiring highly qualified production and administrative staff to further strengthen our business. We feel confident that even with some slowdowns occurring in certain segments of the market, we have the ability to open new dealers, expand market share, and continue our growth momentum. Catamarans are really gaining traction and popularity. As we've spoken before, Twin Vee is the second largest multi-hull manufacturer in the country by unit count. As we move forward into the second half of 2022, we anticipate our operating income will improve for our core gas-powered boat division. It's important to note that if Twin Vee moves forward focusing on building its gas-powered boat division, Forza X1, our electric boat division will incur losses as Forza moves from R&D to prototyping its new FX1 models, then to testing and marketing these electric boats, and then to ramping up production in our new Forza X1 factory in Marion, North Carolina over the next 12 to 18 months. The Forza X1 IPO, which could happen any minute, will now fund the Forza operations and the new factory and ramp up Forza's production. Based on the Forza IPO, Twin Vee will no longer be required to fund Forza's operations after today. The removal of the cash infusions that Twin Vee was funding for Forza should strengthen Twin Vee's cash flow and balance sheet. We are seeing some softening in the marine sport boat market. We also are seeing some dealer inventory levels grow, but the good news is that the current dealer inventory levels are still not back to pre-COVID traditional levels. It's important to know that our sales team has reached out to every one of our Twin Vee dealers about their annual forecast. These forecasts are the number of boats that each dealer orders over the course of the year by model and desired delivery dates, and not a single Twin Vee dealer has changed, modified, or reduced their forecasted boat orders with us. As a result, our current dealer forecast shows that Twin Vee still has over a year of forecasted sales production on our books. Now moving to our electric vehicle manufacturing subsidiary, Forza X1. We’ve spoken about this many times: Forza's mission is to produce an affordable, fully integrated all-electric recreational boat to inspire the adoption of sustainable recreational boating by producing stylish electric sport boats. We've made some major strides at Forza X1 as we work toward commencing sales of our FX1 boats in Q2 of 2023. In addition to the IPO, let me start with our most recent news. During a press conference in North Carolina about two weeks ago, Governor Roy Cooper, the Governor of North Carolina, announced that Forza X1 would obtain incentives from the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the McDowell County local government to establish its 100,000 square foot dedicated fully electric boat manufacturing operation in McDowell County, North Carolina. Forza X1's CEO, President Jim Leffew, led these efforts with state and local entities. Jim did a phenomenal job. Thank you, Jim. In terms of the electric boats themselves, Forza X1’s first model will be the 24-foot FX1 Dual Console. I'm happy to report that the tooling of the FX1 Dual Console has been finished, and the hull and deck molds are expected to be completed in the coming weeks. Within the next 30 days, we will be assembling our first FX1 model. This is great progress on Forza's electric outboard motor as well. The motor currently consists of over 250 parts. This motor will be made in-house at Forza’s new factory. We are starting to build small batch numbers of this motor and boat up to 20 units. Turning to the batteries that will power our boats, in January we announced that Forza X1 entered into a five-year supply agreement with a Michigan-based company named American Battery Solutions for production-grade 52 kilowatt high-powered lithium-ion liquid-cooled batteries. Forza has recently received the first battery shipment from ABS, which will be used to continue testing in our prototype boats. Subsequent battery shipments are expected to arrive in the next couple of months for use in our brand new FX1 Dual Console and Center Console boats. Overall, Forza X1 continues to make substantial progress towards its mission, and there's a lot of work to do. We look forward to the coming weeks and months and letting you know about those updates. I hope you enjoyed my presentation. Let me turn it over to our CFO, Carrie Gunnerson, and then I'll give you a little bit more review and we'll go to Q&A. Thank you.
Thank you, Joseph. I'm going to begin with the income statement. Our revenue for the quarter was up 158% or approximately $5,222,000, up to $8,520,000. Our gross profits for the quarter were up 162% or approximately $2,131,000 to $3,447,000. As Joseph stated, we continue to monitor the costs of our raw materials and purchase components and adjusting our sales prices and discount structures accordingly. Our dealer demand has remained strong, and we are monitoring our dealer inventory levels very closely. Additionally, we are working diligently to increase our dealer networks. Our operating expenses for the quarter increased by approximately $2,486,000 to $3,919,000. Our net loss for the quarter was approximately $539,000, compared to net income of $51,000 in 2021. However, in 2021, we did not have either of our subsidiaries. Forza’s portion of our net loss was approximately $590,000, and net income from our gas-powered boats was approximately $73,000. Further, when we look at our adjusted net income for the quarter, which excludes non-cash charges, our adjusted net income for our core business, the gas-powered boats, was approximately $606,707. Our net loss reflects the investment that the company has continued to make in our electric boat division, as well as our efforts to increase the number of models we offer for our gas-powered division and its production. We continue to aggressively recruit highly experienced staff, and are not only increasing our productivity but also our efficiencies. Turning to the balance sheet, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of approximately $9,860,000 as of June 30, 2022. Our inventory levels have increased by approximately $2,570,000 to $4,370,000. These inventory levels support our aggressive production increases and the challenges we've faced in the current supply chain. Our accounts payable have also increased by approximately $1,061,000 to $2,262,000. Again, the increase is to support our new production levels. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Joseph.
Thank you, Carrie. So as you can see, we're growing. I think it's important to note that with our increased growth, we still have over $9 million cash in the bank and soon, with Forza going public, we will no longer have that cash burn on Twin Vee's books. And so that's going to strengthen our balance sheet. I believe Twin Vee's second quarter was extremely strong. We debuted a bunch of new boats: our 26, our 34, and our brand new 40. If you go online at twinvee.com, you can see some amazing imagery of our brand new 40. It's very exciting, and we're receiving orders from our dealers. We are even starting to work on additional new models. In addition, we have increased our unit throughput to an average of 4.75 boats per week, as we discussed, and this again helped Twin Vee's gas-powered division record its first profitable quarter since Twin Vee's IPO in July 2021. We're really excited about the opportunities ahead of us. Before I open it up to some Q&A, I would like to thank all of our employees for their continued teamwork, dedication, and passion for building our boats. I want to thank our shareholders for their support, and everyone on the call today for their interest in Twin Vee Powercats. With that, I'd like to turn it back to the Operator for Q&A, and we can take our first question.
It seems there are no questions at this moment. I will now hand the conference back to you for any additional comments. I apologize, we have received a couple of questions in our queue. Our first question will come from Guy Newman, Private Investor.
Can you please explain to the shareholders the correlation between Twin Vee Powercats and Forza? Forza is now trading in open market.
Twin Vee is a 70% shareholder in Forza X1. Forza will operate as an independent company, and that's it. It was always a wholly-owned subsidiary and I didn't see the stock quote yet. But as it begins trading, Twin Vee... I mean, I'm sorry, Forza has its own Board of Directors, its own officers, and will operate as an independent company.
And our next question comes from Joe Solano, Private Investor.
I'm a shareholder in both companies, Twin Vee and Forza, and I'm trying to find out your situation with stock conversion here, and what do you guys plan on doing with that?
Yes, so we did a press release; it's a little confusing, but there will be a merger between TVPC and VEEE. The merger will not involve money changing hands, and there will be no stock being issued. Essentially, we have to roll TVPC into VEEE. The net effect will be that VEEE will end up with a net operating loss (NOL) and those shares will then be distributed on a pro-rata basis back to all TVPC shareholders. There's a document that's going to be filed, an S-3 registration over the next couple of weeks. I apologize for the delay, but it's a complicated process with numerous tax issues. There was a fairness opinion that required shareholder votes. The net effect is that all TVPC shareholders will have an ex-dividend date, and TVPC shareholders will receive VEEE registered shares probably over the next 60 to 90 days, if you still own the stock at that point. But thank you for asking the question. Again, there will be documents filed, which you can go online and start to read. I apologize, it took so long, but we're getting there.
It seems we have a follow-up question from Joe Solano.
So is it going to be a one-to-one conversion or how are you guys handling it?
So it's not a one-to-one conversion. I can't get into the numbers due to disclosure issues, Mr. Solano. But we did a press release, and if you go back and look at the press release, you can figure it out: the shares that are outstanding in VEEE and then the shares that are issued and outstanding in TVPC. If you take those two numbers and divide them, that will be the distribution. Both those numbers are fully disclosed. My personal shares are in TVPC, so I'm on the same page with you. Again, I apologize it took so long, but we're getting there. There’s a lot of legal and accounting and tax work to get this completed.
And it appears there are no further questions. Mr. Visconti, I will turn the conference back to you.
I want to thank you, everybody, for your support, and again, have a great day. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you.
And this does conclude today's conference. Thank you all for your participation. You may now disconnect.
