Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for today’s call. As we get started, I’d like to remind everyone that during this conference call we’ll make certain forward-looking statements, and in this context forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as expects, anticipates, and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are uncertain and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We discuss these risks in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report also on Form 10-K to be filed later this week, particularly in Item 1. I’d also like to caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligations to publicly update our forward-looking statements or to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
