We want to thank the shareholders who voted for this. We expect the reverse split will take effect in November. Shareholders will be getting more information about the details on this between now and then. In addition, we have initiated the process to move our listing to a major exchange. We will be working to facilitate and execute the listing move as fast as the stock exchange will allow us to do it," said Stern."It was great to be able to use today's meeting to talk about the launch of our first commercial product, Dermacyte Gel. It is now available for pre-order from the website BuyDermacyte.com and we expect to begin shipping product to fulfill orders in about four weeks. We have exciting plans for additional Dermacyte products and I expect this to begin generating revenues for the company."
