Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Concord Medical first quarter 2016 earnings conference call. During the first quarter of 2016, our revenue and profits were seeing some headwinds due to some internal and external factors. Our total net revenue fell 17% compared to the same period last year with a loss of RMB32 million. As we initiated the business model transformation since 2014, the number of our original radiotherapy and imaging diagnostic centers has stopped increasing. The development of our wholly-owned diagnosis centers -- the wholly-owned Level II specialty cancer hospitals featured by radiotherapy and imaging diagnosis also caused an impact on our revenue increase. At the same time Concord Cancer Hospital, which we acquired in Singapore last April, has now come to a new stage of business and treatment process restructuring, brought obvious profit decrease. On the other side, Concord Cancer Hospital has started to receive patient from Mainland China and provide the most advanced treatment approach and medicine since this March. We believe, with further collaboration between Concord Cancer Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center, MDACC for short, on treatment, technology, knowhow and branding, it will receive more and more patients. Meanwhile, we also witnessed many inspiring achievements. Our established business strategy of upgrading the regional network of imaging diagnosis and radiotherapy centers to wholly owned independent centers is gradually implemented. The first hospital under this Chain, Datong Meizhongjiahe Cancer Hospital has opened preliminarily last week. This is the first hospital under the Meizhongjiahe brand. It will apply to join the local social insurance coverage and provide high-quality cancer treatment and diagnosis services to local patients at Datong and Shanxi Province. The network of Meizhongjiahe will join premium hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to advance the Company's domestic leverage. Learning from the experience of constructing and developing Datong…
