Management
Good afternoon and thank you for joining our conference call to discuss our second quarter 2012 financial results. Speaking on today's call we have John Crowley, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bradley Campbell, our Chief Business Officer, David Lockhart, our Chief Scientific Officer, and Chip Baird, our Chief Financial Officer. They are all available to participate in the Q&A session, as well. Pol Boudes, our Chief Medical Officer, is on vacation this week. Today's prepared remarks coincide with the slide presentation that is now available on our corporate website at www.amicusrx.com. The slides are located in the Investors section under Events and Presentations right below the webcast link. On Slide 2, we have a reference to forward-looking statements in this conference within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 relating to the business, operations and financial conditions of Amicus including but not limited to preclinical and clinical development of Amicus' candidate drug products, the timing and reporting of results from preclinical studies and clinical trials evaluating Amicus' candidate drug products, the projected cash position for the company. Words such as but not limited to , 'believe', 'expect,' 'anticipate,' 'estimate,' 'intend,' 'likely,' 'should,' and 'could,' and similar expressions or words identify forward-looking statements. Although Amicus believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that its expectations will be realized. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in Amicus' forward-looking statements due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and other other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Amicus does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. At this time, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to John Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus.
