eric sandler is expected to be back in the office in early october, so i am here to report out on our fiscal '18 year end activity doe activi activi activities. this report, which is a preaudit look before we present to you our financial statements, is about a month later than we typically present to you, and the main reason for this is that it is the first year that we are closing the financial statements within our new system, people soft, and that's taking a little bit longer than we expected. so we're reporting to you today on the preaudit actuals, and then, subsequent to my report here to you today, you will get the financial statements presented to you. those will also be later than what we typically present, which will be in early january . so i just wanted to provide a little context. in terms of the overview for fiscal '18 -- so again, fiscal year '18 ended on june 30. we have positive net results for all of our operations, which is a good thing. it means that we took in enough money in order to pay all the bills, so no drawdown of reserves were needed during our operations.
