Thank you, Andrea and good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining us today as we discuss the performance of our business during the first quarter of 2019.
As we have seen from our numerous announcements the first quarter was a busy one for us. First we raised additional public financing and conducted a reverse stock split with plans to uplift to a national exchange. Second, we secured our second OTC ANDA for our pipeline which may allow us to increase the profitability of FlutiCare and expand it through certain overseas markets.
Third, added additional ANDA post products through our obtaining rights to settle Minoxidil 5% foam shampoo for men and women. Fourth, we focused our direct to consumer business on the higher profit driving channels in the U.S. and Canada including growing our subscription base. Five, we decreased our reliance on the direct to consumer business by expanding our revenues from our e-commerce platform business. And six, we have begun seeing an increase in revenues from our international distributors.
As a result, we believe the company is well situated to benefit from each of the above items. And I’ll discuss in details these items later on the call.
