Good morning, everyone. Thank you Joe.
I hope everyone is safe and well during these very challenging times.
Oh I am sitting here.
Home, but my computer and tried to keep my two dogs from coming in embarking up this phone calls so again, I I hope, everyone as well and and safe.
Oh I wanted to go over some of the key highlights of 2019.
And why I feel these events have been transformational for my house.
One we had a successful study yet Kansas State University.
On 100 dogs, which is a pretty significant amount of subjects for a study.
These dogs.
On a fruit what is TPL low surgery similar to east C.L. surgery in humans.
ER and the results were very very positive for miles up with those results.
We.
Created miles canine muscle formula product and have made inroads into the vet community.
Having this site is unique in the pet world and we have specific science for our product we're not a commodity commodity remember we are the only ones with four to tropin.
We added events Drenth line also to give veterinarians an exclusive product.
We believe these the results of this study will soon be published in peer reviewed journal.
By the Oh, I've learned a in academia and with publishing it takes longer than you thought but.
We are.
We have a strong believes that this will happen soon hopefully within the next few weeks.
Number two we had a extremely successful study get you Cal Berkeley with Dr. William evidence in 60 to 75 year old men and women.
The people who took the individuals who took four to tropin at a 15% increase in muscle protein synthesis as Dr. Evans said it is rare for a nutrition product to show such efficacy he presented.
That those results.
Video conferencing.
At the Sarcopenia study going to lose France, a couple of weeks ago. A we now are using that video to help educate doctors et cetera on the benefits afforded tropin.
In all different age groups, but clearly to people who were 50 60 an older.
Oh. This is created an incredible opportunity in the anti aging longevity market a market of supposed to.
Supposedly will grow to about 270 billion over the next few years with that we launched physician muscle health formula.
And.
And in December.
The anti aging conference.
In Las Vegas.
With.
Anti aging doctors holistic doctors.
And are now how in the market with our Salesforce trying to get doctors to take the product and give it to their patients. We're excited about this.
Demographic for our product.
2020.
Let me move onto a 2020, we announced a partnership and distribution deal with T V. P International that we'll open the doors to over 10000 veterinarians in the U.S. and abroad [noise].
We think this distribution agreement is gonna be incredible for us they make braces. If you look at what kv P. does and those graces are used by dog owners and veterinarians to support dogs that have CCL tears or TPL low tears may.
Many of which who don't go for the surgery.
These braces can cause muscle atrophy.
And our product helps.
In just use muscle atrophy. So it is a great fit for their braces. So we are co marketing with in both the vet space in the direct to consumer space. This is just being launched as we announced in the press release, but I think it's an incredible opportunity.
We also announced an agreement a distribution agreement with you went up by.
One of the largest natural distributors in the country or that is supposed to get into our products have both miles canine muscle formula and our product up yoked hopefully we'll be in stores over the next couple of months, obviously with whats going.
Moving on in the World.
That could be delayed books were optimistic the fact that we were able to sign an agreement a distribution agreement with them.
As Joe spoke to we closed a 1.8 million financing in the private placement on March 15th.
And.
Now I think we have the company in that a great position to weather the storm that's going on right now.
Mendis things happening a modest but in light of covert 19, I wanted to address what miles is doing.
We have been deemed an essential business in the state of New Jersey by Governor fill mercy.
That that is great for us.
But about a week and a half ago, we made a decision that whole miles employees working remotely.
But we still have people going to the office.
To make sure a we manage our supply chain.
Related issues to make sure we have enough supply that's going into E Commerce, which is the area. That's still is very vibrant.
We prepare for the possibility of this business shutdown and moved a much greater quantity of product to our fulfillment warehouse. So we could complete E commerce orders.
We're actively working with a retail and vet partners and remain committed to helping them through these challenging times.
Well, many physicians beds and consumers are forced to reduce.
Other caseload indoor remain home, we've been actively engaging them through line lung webinars and want to use this time to create much more awareness for our product and the clinical research that backs it up.
We are committed to retaining a building or future customers say base by being sensitive to the needs of these physicians.
And veterinarians and.
And all consumers in light of the current situation.
So we will work with them, we will look at opportunities to build so once we get.
This all past us that miles is even in a better situation than we are today.
Let me just say a little bit about our product.
All the peer reviewed clinical research away from iOS has shown that improve muscle health can lead to a healthier and more active life.
When Bill Evans talks about our product for to Tropin and people, who experienced a 15% increase.
Priests in the rate a mosul protein synthesis, when compared with subjects, who did not take four to tropin. It shows that a small investment in muscle health can make a huge difference to ones overall.
Health and as we continue to tell the story afforded tropin and why people, who can take it should expect better outcomes and better health span.
We think we will continue to grow.
And build this business so.
During these travel in challenging times, our priorities there just a pretty simple one keeping all our employees.
To creating a greater awareness of the power of our products in both human and animal health three growing our revenue with a focus on ecommerce platforms.
And for supporting all our existing and new clients with enhanced marketing advertising and E learning opportunities.
I can assure you that we're doing everything.
To build miles even through these challenging times these times will and.
Miles will change and continue to adapt as we need to we're committed to our shareholders to do whatever is necessary to succeed and we will.
