Thank you for joining us for the Kratos Defense & Security Solutions second quarter earnings conference call. With me today is Eric DeMarco, Kratos’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Deanna Lund, Kratos’ Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin the substance of today’s call I’d like to make some brief introductory comments.

Earlier this afternoon we issued a press release which outlined the topics we planned to discuss today. If anyone has not yet seen a copy of this press release it is available on the Kratos’ corporate website at www.KratosDefense.com. Additionally, I’d like to remind our listeners that this conference call is open to the media and we are providing a simultaneous webcast of this call for the public. A replay of our discussion will be available on the company’s website later today.

During this call we will discuss some factors and matters that are likely to influence our business going forward. Any matters discussed today that are not historical fact, particularly comments regarding our future plans, objectives, and expected future performance constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include comments about our plans and expectations of future performance. These plans and expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those adjusted by our forward-looking statements.
