Thank you, Chadissa. Good morning, my name is Len Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer of Greenlight Re. Thank you for taking the time to join us this morning. The first quarter of 2008 brought fresh challenges to our business with the continuation of the credit crisis affecting the balance sheets of many in the industry and a softening reinsurance environment making market conditions more difficult. We ended the quarter with a small underwriting gain and a small investment loss. In total, we had a net loss of $0.13 per share for the quarter. While we did not increase our book value per share in the quarter, we successfully added new business that we believe has adequate returns and we preserved capital in a turbulent investment environment. Gross written premium for the first quarter increased about 86% to over $70 million, compared to the first quarter of 2007. The new business was mostly private or lead positions on frequency accounts with expert partners. As we head into the 2008 windstorm season, we have further reduced our catastrophe exposure as pricing continues to soften and we prefer to lose the exposure rather than under-price it. On the asset side, we have a fairly fully invested portfolio of long and short ideas. In April, as reported on our website, we achieved a 2% return on our investment portfolio. Before discussing our first quarter underwriting performance in greater detail, I want to introduce our Chairman, David Einhorn, who will discuss our overall progress and recent investment results. David?

Thanks, Lenny. May 24 will mark the anniversary of our IPO. During the past year, the S&P declined about 8% and reinsurance pricing has softened. Nonetheless, we have weathered this tough environment. The Greenlight RE investment account has returned 8.2% during the 12 months ended April 30. The first quarter of this year proved to be challenging as the S&P fell about 9.4% and European markets declined even more. This was particularly difficult for our investment portfolio as we have more net long exposure in Europe than in the United States. The Greenlight RE reinvestment portfolio fell about 0.9% in the first quarter. Overall, our shorts contributed 7.8% to our gross return. The gains were broad-based throughout the short portfolio headed by shorts of credit sensitive financials, particularly investment banks. Longs cost us about 8% on a gross basis The losses were also broad based lead by Helix, Microsoft, URS, and most of the European holdings. In April, we generated a 2% return, so our investment account is now up 1.1% for the year. As we went through the first quarter, our net long exposure rose from 34% on January 1st to 56% on March 31 as we exited 13 short positions. When the shares fell to prices that made them no longer attractive shorts we covered them and did [ph] with greater net long exposure. As stocks went on sale in the first quarter, some for good reasons and others in sympathy, we took advantage of some select opportunities. We added a couple of new long positions and increased a few of our existing long positions. As we invest from the bottoms up we do not let macro forecasts drive the portfolio composition. However, this happens naturally as we evaluate the long and short opportunity sets. When there are…

Thanks, David. Last call we talked about the success of our January 1 portfolio, and how the frequency business we wrote could generates significant diversified premium throughout 2008. As you are undoubtedly aware, the reinsurance market conditions are difficult. Prices are dropping in many areas, interest rates are low, and the inflation level appears to be headed higher. Although it is a difficult market, we believe our bottoms up deal-by-deal underwriting approach will allow us to continue to find opportunities in these areas supporting specialist underwriters. These opportunities are under less pressure than commodity products and continue to provide accessible risk adjusted returns. When one looks at the break down of our portfolio by line of business it is evident that we are continuing to diversify and that now we have concentrations in motor and in health. While we think there are excellent opportunities in both lines we focus everything we do on the bottoms up deal-by-deal basis rather than line of business. With windstorm season on our door step we thought it would be a good opportunity to review how we underwrite our natural catastrophe exposures. It is worth discussing as we tend to look at this differently than most reinsurers. We think it is of utmost importance to understand the entire range of outcomes in all the business that we undertake. This is true for how we price business, how we look at the aggregate risk (inaudible) and is also true for how we measure and report to you our natural catastrophe exposures. Models are very useful in our business, but they are, at a minimum, estimates of reality. As well, interesting and often unexpected things happen beyond the 99 percentile for the modeled results. In some cases, the maximum amount of risk is equal to the 99th…

Thanks, Bart. Greenlight Re reported first quarter 2008 loss of $4.8 million, compared to a loss of $13.1 million for the comparable period in 2007. On a fully diluted per-share basis, the loss was $0.13 per share, compared to a loss of $0.61 per share for the first quarter of 2007. For the first quarter of 2008 frequency business accounted for just over 80% of our gross written premium, which is consistent with the overall emphasis we place on this business. As mentioned in previous quarters, for quarter share frequency business, it takes longer for the ultimate premium on these contracts to be reported. Due to our preference to write a small number of larger transactions, we expect that our mix of business between frequency and severity will fluctuate. The composite ratio for our frequency business for the first quarter of 2008 was 91.2% and 59.4% for severity business, resulting in an overall composite ratio of 80.2%. Although we are not currently a direct writer of public company or financial institution directors and officers' liability coverage, which we believe will suffer the greatest exposure to losses from the current credit crisis, we do have some exposure to loss through our casualty clash exposure. Our loss ratio of 44.1% during the quarter included reserving to our maximum limit for a potential casualty cash claim. First quarter 2008 loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred were $12.1 million. Of this total, we only had $3.6 million of paid losses. This low pay to incurred ratio once again reflects the startup nature of our underwriting portfolio. Internal expenses were 16.2% of net premiums earned, so our combined ratio for the quarter was 96.4%. Approximately 1.5 million of internal expenses booked in the first quarter of 2008 related to additional accruals of 2007 bonuses which…

Thanks, Tim. The first quarter of 2008 continues the progress of Greenlight RE in a few important ways. We are increasing our frequency orientation and reducing natural catastrophe exposure in the run up to windstorm season. In all markets, but especially in the current environment of softening pricing and low interest rates, we believe we are uniquely positioned to grow our book value, our single most important metric. We are also pleased to announce our first investor meeting on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008, beginning at 4:00 p.m., at the Scandinavia House at 58 Park Avenue, in New York City. A press release will be issued shortly. David, Bart, Tim and I look forward to seeing you all there for an in-depth interactive update. Finally, we would like to thank Jerome Simon for his dedication and service to our Board. As per our prior announcement, Jerome resigned on May 1, and we wish him the very best in all his endeavors. At the May 1st Board meeting we increased the number of Board members to seven and appointed Bryan Murphy and Ian Isaacs to serve on the Board. We will ask our shareholders to ratify all our Board members during the annual meeting. Thank you again for your time, and now we would like to open the call up to questions.

(Operator instructions) Your first question comes from Eric Forcope [ph] with Cooper and McBain [ph]. Your line is open. Eric Forcope – Cooper and McBain: Hi, it is Eric, good morning. Given your relatively negative view of the world as expressed by your loan and exposure in the equity markets as well as your very cautious stance in the underwriting markets it’s a bit of a surprise to me that you haven't taken any positions in the precious metals markets either directly in gold or in gold mining companies. David, could you kind of give us some explanation as to your either aversion of the sector or why it doesn't fit within your thesis of a negative financial outcome? Thanks.

Yes, certainly. Metals are interesting in the sense that a lot of people view them as stores of value so as to replace – they fight the weaknesses in things like paper currencies, and view these things as stores of value and own them for diversification or because they think that they will do well as a result. My own personal bias on the matter is that gold, like anything else, does not have an intrinsic value that is any different really from paper money other than the sense that you could use it in jewelry or electronics, and so forth. And as a result of that, it’s like the paper currencies, is also worth whatever everybody agrees that it is worth. So it’s very hard to understand sort of a non-speculative case for why somebody needs to invest in gold or precious metals as a diversification away from currency that has its own issues and problems. I know that’s probably not a popular majority opinion. I don't think it particularly harms us in the sense that on the worst day it’s a missed opportunity for us, and it does not play particularly well into our basic skill set. As it also turns out though, incidentally, we did happen to have a short position in a precious metals company in Ecuador that had some unfortunate developments that actually helped out our results in April based upon some of the nationalization efforts that are going on in that country.

(Operator instructions) Your next question comes from Jim Bradshaw with Bayers Capital Management. Jim Bradshaw – Bayers Capital Management: Good morning.

Good morning. Jim Bradshaw – Bayers Capital Management: I wonder if you could just speak briefly about what you think the Cayman Islands captive market opportunity is for you long term, either relative to your other opportunities or just kind of stand-alone, how ever you want to–

Sure, Jim, I will take that one part. (inaudible) Jim, there's about 750 captives here in the Cayman Islands with invested assets in excess of $33 billion. Roughly half of those are in the medical malpractice markets, and the other half are all lines of business. We've had a number of successful meetings with folks here and I think currently our portfolio is probably in the neighborhood of 15% to 20% in and around Cayman-based captives. I do think it’s early days, and as people do change their buying habits, our penetration could increase even more. Jim Bradshaw – Bayers Capital Management: Okay. Great. I appreciate your time.

Operator?
