Over the last few years, BTO has emerged as an important growth engine at the leading edge of our BPTS strategy.

Our phenomenal growth and top 50 national ranking can be attributed to our dedicated professionals and market-leading clients. We continue to focus on delivering exceptional client service and specialize in the industries that drive the region's economic growth. This strategy has served our firm well by allowing us to attract the best and brightest talent and quality clients in a highly competitive marketplace.

The general slowing in the growth of the leading indicators over the past year suggests the pace of economic growth should gradually slow over the next three to six to nine months.

We believe PC growth rates have moderated over the course of the past few quarters, leading to slower chip-level inventory reductions at our customers and affecting our revenue in the first half of the year.

We're trying to stay on the leading edge of the growth, but it's challenging.

Hydrogen may well be one of the leading technology growth areas in the state.
