Welcome to the Westfield Group 2012 Half Year Results, connected on Wednesday, 15 August 2012 at 9 a.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time [Operator Instructions] I would like to advise that today's conference is being recorded and would now like to introduce the presenter for today, Mr. Peter Lowy. Mr. Lowy, please go ahead.

Peter S. Lowy

Thank you. Good morning, everybody. I'd like to welcome you to our results presentation for the 6 months ended 30th of June, 2012. With me today is Steven Lowy and Peter Allen. In November 2010, we articulated a strategic plan that would position the group to generate greater long-term value in a volatile economic environment. This plan focused on investing capital in a development of world-class iconic shopping centers in major world cities, introducing joint venture capital to the group and disposing of non-core assets to enhance our return on invested capital and long-term earnings growth.
