Thank you, Michael and good afternoon everyone. Welcome to our second quarter 2014 conference call. Joining me on the call today is Bob Johnston, who became our Chief Financial Officer in May and Greg. Freitag, our General Counsel and Senior Vice President Business Development. Following today’s market close, we announced our second quarter 2014 results. Record quarterly revenue of $4.2 million, a strong 47% increase over a revenue during the same period in 2013 and solid sequential growth over Q1 2014. Our revenue growth is a testament to the solid execution of our sales and marketing strategy. Our unparallel portfolio of nerve repair products and continued confirmation of the strong market need for our off-the-self nerve repair option. We achieved a number of significant milestones during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter and 2013. We surpass the $4 million quarterly revenue level for the first time in our company’s history setting an all time record high for quarterly revenue of $4.29 even more importantly we grew the number of target accounts. The number of our target accounts by 52%. We increased the number of accounts using two or more of our brands by 87%. We expanded our gross margin to 79% versus 78% for the same period in 2013. We believe we’re poised for success for the following reasons. A large market that is seeking alternatives, a comprehensive portfolio of off-the-shelf products that address those market needs. A strong team that’s demonstrating successful marketing and sales execution. High barriers to competitive entry and significant opportunities for expansion. Each AxoGen product represents the latest thinking and best practices in nerve repair. And as challenging previous norms a surgeon recognize their benefits and change their approaches to include our products, simply put they offer benefit to know the…

Thanks, Karen and good afternoon everyone. As Karen said this is my first conference call with AxoGen and I look forward to working with AxoGen team to maximize the company’s growth and valuation. Given that we’ve filed our news release and 10-Q this afternoon I’ll focus my comments on financial highlights during our second quarter. AxoGen sales increased 47% to $4.2 million, during the second quarter compared to a year ago. This growth is predominately due to increased product usage by existing accounts and sales to new accounts, approximately 57,000 of the revenues from brands, which fund some of the exciting research and development work Karen will review in a few moments. Second quarter gross margin expanded to 79% compared to 78% a year ago second quarter reflecting price increases in March 2014 and changes in product mix. Now let me turn to expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately 33% primarily due to increased investments in sales and marketing efforts, including the surgeon education events, which we just started in the later half of 2013. We are already seeing a strong positive impact in our results from the surgeon events. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales have declined 80% from 88% in last years second quarter. General and administrative expenses increased 22% over the 2013 second quarter. The year-over-year increase is due to several factors, including a move to a larger corporate office space and the move to a new distribution facility of Texas, which allows us to expand the shipping hours across the country including the West Coast. We would like to point out the $217,000 of the G&A expenses during the second quarter. We related to non-cash stock compensation. As a percentage of sales, G&A expenses were 41% down from the 49% in Q2 2013. R&D spending increased 12% to a total of $556,000. The increases are related to clinical activities, including expenses this year related to the biological license application or BLA for the Avance Nerve Graft as well as increased investments in our product development pipeline. Interest expense was up 14% to approximately $1.4 million to the increased interest related to the PDL royalty contract from higher revenue and interest accrued related to royalty contract. As the result of the accounting treatment for the royalty contract, interest expense included approximately $1 million of non-cash expense that is expected to be paid in the future upon the terms of the royalty contract. During the quarter, we actively managed our cash as the monthly burn rate declined from $1.1 million per month in the first quarter to $0.9 million per month in the second quarter. We ended the quarter with $14.2 million in cash. We have sufficient cash resources to meet our operating needs for at least the next 12 months including meeting our royalty contract obligations. With that I’ll now turn it back to Karen for her summary comments.

Thank you, Bob. We’ve spoken at length today about our current commercialization strategy and our growth. And now I would like to speak for a moment about our expansion opportunity. First, in the area of upper extremity, we will be exhibiting at and conducting a surgeon panel presentation entitled nerve matters. At the annual meeting of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand in September with thousands of attendees ASSH is the largest meeting of extremity surgeons in the U.S. Second, with the success and continuing momentum of our current focus in upper extremity nerve repair, we’ve been evaluating expansion efforts into other nerve market including nerve repair and prostate surgery to address impotence and incontinence, opportunities and oral and maxillofacial surgery, lower extremity nerve injuries, hand associated with nerve entrapment, breast reconstruction, long nerve graft and enhanced nerve regeneration. I have several updates on our expansion efforts and I’m able to share at this time. With respect to oral and maxillofacial surgery, we’ve announced previously, we entered the oral maxillofacial market on a pilot basis in 2013. Nerve repair OMF is an exciting market estimated over $129 million with a strong and unmet clinical needs that’s addressed by our current portfolio of products. We were pleased with the revenue generated by the pilot program and recently trained our direct sales team to continue our momentum through the backend of 2014. We will be exhibiting and conducting a surgeon education panel at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons in September, the biggest industry conference of the year. We will also be conducting a professional education event this fall for the oral and maxillofacial surgeons at the University of Texas Southwest. In the area of prostate surgery, we are also pleased to announce that the…

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Jeffrey Cohen from Ladenburg Thalmann. Please go ahead. Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: Hello, Karen and Bob, can you hear me, okay.

Yes.

Yes, Jeff. How are you? Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: Very well, nice revenue number. Could you talk about the sales marketing expense for the quarter seems a little bit heavy relative to what I expected you just speak about the surgeon education event. How might some of the events look for the second half, you already expect the kind of general spend to increase as you are seeing for the traction on the revenue front.

So, our sales and marketing spend is heaviest line of course is the headcount related expenses. And so we will continue to add as I’ve talked about a few reps each quarter, I would look to see adding over the next six months for the six reps in total. We will also continue to do some of the professional education events those are significant factor each time we hold one of those, we have another couple of those plans. So we will see those over the last half of the year. Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: Okay, could you talk about the revenue compositions for the quarter as far as share numbers between the three lines and events are particular and if you took any increases on pricing?

Yes, so we actually don’t break out of the revenue between the products, but we’ve seen revenue growth across … Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: That’s what I asked..

But we’ve seen revenue growth across the full portfolio, so in each of the product is not disproportionally one product during other, I think again representative of driving penetration into the accounts that we’re in. We did take a price increase in March and saw 7%…

7.5% approximately of our second quarter revenues were related to the price increase Jeff. Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: 7.5% okay, was that for all product lines that took an increase?

It’s across the product lines on average. Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: Okay, perfect. And could one more lastly if I may Bob if you could remind us about the minimum segment gain next quarter for the PDL agreement.

Yes, for that royalty contract in the fourth quarter there is a minimum of $1.25 million, as I mentioned earlier Jeff, we have sufficient cash for at least the next 12 months to cover our operations as well as the royalty contract obligations. Jeffrey Cohen – Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.: Perfect, thanks for taking my questions.

Thank you.

Thank you. (Operator Instructions) Our next question is come from David Turklay from JMP Securities. Please go ahead. David Turklay – JMP Securities: Thanks. Just to clarify early in the call you talking about target accounts being up 52% is that accounts that are using your products what was that comment specifically related to?

Yes, so we – obviously there is many hospitals and surgery centers in the United States and we have created a hierarchy of what we thinking the best potential accounts and we’ve then considered those target accounts for the once that have the highest revenue potential and it’s really and making sure that when we spend effort to get into an account that we’re focusing on an account that has drive the highest dollar value those tend to be Level 1, Level 2 trauma centers, academic centers and some specialty surgery centers that do significant amount of reconstructive surgery. David Turklay – JMP Securities: Is there anything you just – I mean can we have that number in terms of what you think that might be today as we’re looking today at that opportunity?

Yes, we haven’t released a number of accounts, again given that our friends from Integra tend to be on our call, but I guess when I wanted to do is give you a flavor of that we continue to stay very laser focused on driving things that increase the biggest revenue and continuing to drive penetration then within those accounts. Again, our model is shifting from getting new accounts so that’s its good that we are getting no accounts just to making sure that we’re in the right accounts and that we’re driving penetration into those existing accounts. David Turklay – JMP Securities: I know you guys gave us a lot of color on sort of the account season two or more and then in the revenue growth, I guess as you look at that 87% number and the 47, I guess percent growth in the quarter – I guess what I’m trying to figure out. If 10 new segment the deeper penetration versus the new accounts, sort of like you broke out the price at all is that kind of even along those two or you getting more kind of new from these clinics that you’re hosting.

So, if you remember we have characterizing different stages of development. So in new territories, we still need them to acquire new accounts to get the breadth of accounts, that we are looking for so if I go back to our strategy in breadth, depth and quality. We want to make sure that we focused on those high and medium target accounts. And that we then focus once we are in a footprint, that we focus in driving depth which is for smokey brands and getting a regular repeat orders. So the professional education program is a big driver for driving depth. It’s not intended to be something that opens stores for us that’s part of sale execution. But once we’re in an account, if we want to accelerate the learning curve, we see that doing the professional education event and bringing a key surgeon to one of those courses, is what helps to create a different adaption curve from that surgeon. David Turklay – JMP Securities: So give your success with the education, I guess we would say that depth is certainly an important part and I think you said you heard a couple of more of those. This year is I mean is it money that would be initiative just kind of is it or is it just really select patient pace in terms of where you can do these things, because I got to believe that’s a big part of why we saw kind of this uptick in the quarter. So I guess any thoughts on what are the variables that would prevent you from doing even more of these.

We will make sure that we provide the same high quality content in each of the courses and still we’re looking at continuing to ramp up. Again we went from what we planned to do three to do four this year. And we’ll look to continue to expand that, but each of these is a significant investment both in dollars and resources here in the company. And we don’t want to sub optimize the outcomes to just do more so. So we have done a very deliberate strategy and willing out how many we do and we’ll continue to look at the pay back of those.

Great, thanks a lot.
