Hello and welcome to the Capital Trust second quarter 2009 results conference call. Before we begin, please be advised that the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, the success of the company's debt restructuring and its ability to meet the amortization required thereby, the continued credit performance of the company's loan and CMBS investments, the asset/liability mix, the effectiveness of the company's hedging strategy and the rate of repayment of the company's portfolio assets, as well as other risks indicated from time to time in the company's Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events or circumstances. There will be a Q&A session following the conclusion of this presentation. At that time, I will provide instructions for submitting the question to management. I will now turn the program over to John Klopp, CEO of Capital Trust. Please go ahead, sir.
