Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the second quarter 2010 Huntsman Corporation earnings conference call. I will be your coordinator for today.

(Operator Instructions)

I would now like to turn your presentation over to Mr. Kurt Ogden, Huntsman’s Vice President of Investor Relations.

Kurt Ogden

Good morning everyone. Welcome to Huntsman’s second quarter 2010 earnings call. Joining us on the call today are Peter Huntsman, President and CEO and Kimo Esplin, Executive Vice President and CFO.

This morning, before the market opened, we released our earnings for the second quarter 2010 via press release and posted it on our website, huntsman.com. We also posted a set of slides on our website, which we intend to use on the call this morning in the discussion of our results.

During this call, we may make statements about our projections or expectations for the future. All such statements are forward-looking statements, and while they reflect our current expectations, they involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. You should review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information regarding the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these projections or expectations.
