Thank you, Wrendon, and welcome, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Before we start, I would like to take a moment to provide a brief overview of our company. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited was founded 10 years ago with the mission to provide reinsurance solutions, primarily to property and casualty insurers in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. We are very proud to be celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. Through our licensed reinsurance subsidiary, Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and our licensed reinsurance sidecar Oxbridge Re NS, we write fully collateralized policies to cover property losses from specific catastrophes. And because we write fully collateralized contracts, we believe we can compete efficiently with large carriers. We specialize in underwriting low-frequency high-severity risks where we believe sufficient data access to effectively analyze the risk/return profile of reinsurance contracts. Our objective is to achieve long-term growth in book value or share by writing business on a selective and opportunistic basis that will generate attractive underwriting profits relative to risk. We diversified our business in 2021 by being the lead in the sponsor of Oxbridge acquisition for a Special Purpose Acquisition Company or SPAC, focusing on investing in disruptive technologies. During the first quarter of 2023, Oxbridge acquisitions announced its intention to form a business combination with Jet.AI Inc. The company developed software and offers fractional aircraft ownership, jet card, aircraft brokerage and charter through its fleet of private aircraft and those of its operating partner. Jet.AI operates along two segments: software and aviation. The software segment features the B2C CharterGPT app and the B2B Jet.AI Operator platform. The CharterGPT app uses natural language processing and machine learning to improve the private jet booking experience. The Jet.AI operator platform offers a suite of stand-alone software products to enable FAA Part 135…

Thank you, Jay. I would like to remind you that our typical reinsurance contract period is from June 1 to May 31 of the following year. With regard to net premiums rents for the quarter ended March June 2023 were nil compared to $210,000 in the last year's first quarter. The decrease was due to the acceleration of premium recognition and two of our reinsurance contracts during 2022 arising from the limit loss suffered from the Hurricane Ian impact. So there have been no reinsurance premiums recorded in this quarter. There have also been no losses to-date incurred in 2023. With regards to investment income, our net investment income and other income rose in the quarter to 189,000 from 33,000 due to higher rates on money market fund. We generated a solid 381,000 unrealized gain in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a fair value change in our equity investment in Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. In last year's first quarter, this change resulted in a $230,000 unrealized loss. We also recognized a 76,000 positive change in the fair value of our equity securities as of March 31, 2023, much improved from the 20,000 negative change in the prior year first quarter. All of these factors, taken together resulted in total revenues of $546,000 in for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to no in the prior year's first quarter. With regard to total expenses, total expenses were up marginally in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $404,000 from $261000 last year. There was no policy acquisition cost of underwriting expenses in the quarter due to the acceleration of premium recognition and the resulting acceleration of policy acquisition costs. In additional, general and admin expenses were high in 2023 due to increased personnel costs and inflationary cost pressures. Due…

Thank you, Wrendon. As we discussed on our year-end conference call in late January we announced the incorporation of Assurance Plus a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxbridge Re. Assurance Plus will issue tokenized securities that indirectly represent fractionalized interest in reinsurance contracts underwritten by our reinsurance subsidiary. Token holders will receive a return on the performance of these underlying reinsurance contracts. In essence, Assurance puts will democratize access to reinsurance as an alternative investment opportunity that leverages the key qualities of blockchain technology to create a well-designed digital security. Our tokens will enable more invest to participate and have their interest permanently and transparently recorded on the chain. These opportunities were typically unavailable to investors in the past due to high barriers to entry. Following this exciting investment opportunity in late February, we utilized Oxbridge Acquisition Corp. to embark on a business combination with Jet.AI Inc., a company offering fractional aircraft ownership jet card aircraft brokerage and charter service through its fleet of private aircraft. Our wholly-owned subsidiary Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited is the lead investor in our SPAC sponsor and holds 1.5 million shares which at the closing of transaction will have a value of approximately $14.2 million not including the value of 3.1 million private warrants we beneficially own in the SPAC. These exciting new investment opportunities further diversify our business and risk portfolio positioning us to capitalize on growth in emerging technologies. We are very excited about the future value of these investments and the potential they bring to our shareholders. So in closing our book value per share at quarter end is $2.59 per share. Our business is well-diversified. Our investment insurance plus positions us in a new leading-edge web three technology business, our investment in Oxbridge acquisition/jet.ai and artificial intelligence Aviation business is on track. We remain debt-free. We have a strong balance sheet with a solid cash position. And most importantly, we have opportunity based on a viable business model that is based on diversification. We remain opportunistic not only in our core business, but also our broader view of the market. With that, we are ready to open the call to -- we are opening a call for questions. Operator please provide the appropriate instructions.

Thank you, sir. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Kent Engelke with Capitol Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Hey, Jay. Hey. Wrendon. A couple of questions come to mind right. I guess the first and foremost on Assurance Plus the -- to try to increase the potential value there you have a lot of things going on. We consider the possibility of maybe spinning something out to recognize that value of that is there? And then secondly in regards to on the SPAC where we at on the voting of the pack itself I would think that once a that merger is closed there should be a very large release of potential value at least on the balance sheet based on accounting rules and the like looking where your price of stock is it looks like there's a lot of value based upon things that are already in place?

Hi, Ken, yes, I'll take your second question first. And the answer to that is, yes. We don't realize a full mark-to-market value on the investment on the SPAC at the moment. But once that's closed that will normalize. So there will be there will be an uptick in recognition. So we're looking forward to that. We hope that actually just yesterday the SEC -- SEC comments went in yesterday and got filed with the SEC the second round of comments the first round of comments rather. And if all goes well we expect this to close by the end of Q2 of this year. So everything looks on track and we're good to go there. In relation to your first question how do we monetize Assurance Plus that will be work in progress, but what we have done is we have developed a web three -- we have developed a web three company internally. We didn't go out. There was no dilution. We don't raise capital. We didn't raise cash. We developed it all in-house. So shareholders have owned 100% of that company at the moment. As we go forward and it will definitely be Board approval, et cetera but there's definitely an opportunity to maybe do something much bigger. But once we go forward with Assurance Plus and we issue the reinsurance token, there's definitely opportunity to go raise funds and do various different tokens of the like as well. So absolutely we're very excited.

A lot of opportunity, a lot of potential following you all for a long time and it looks like we're finally on the cusp of doing something.

Yes, yes. This has been an extremely busy year, extremely busy last year. But now we're almost there. Looking forward to it.

Look forward to the upcoming conference calls.

Thank you, Kent.

Thanks, Kent.
