Let me start by recapping our activities during the past quarter. All of our key programs are on-schedule, and are on and below budget. We are nearing the end of our pivotal Phase III trials and put in place the necessary personnel and systems, so that we can lock the databases this fall, and conduct the analysis leading to the NDA filing. We are also approaching the completion of construction phase of our manufacturing facility in Danbury.
