Good morning. I'm Bart Hedges, Chief Executive Officer of Greenlight Re. Thank you for taking the time to join us today. During the second quarter of 2013, we increased our fully diluted adjusted book value per share by 3.2% from $23.45 to $24.20, bringing our year-to-date increase to 10%. During the quarter, we earned profits from both our underwriting and investing operations. Our underwriting operations produced a combined ratio of 95.7% for the quarter bringing our combined ratio for the year-to-date to 98.3%. Our investment portfolio, managed by DME Advisors, gained 2% for the quarter and has increased by 7.9% for the year-to-date. The return from our underwriting operations were driven by profitable performance in each of our four core areas of concentration, specifically Florida homeowners, non-standard auto, employer stop loss, and catastrophe retro. The composite ratio for these four areas for the quarter and year-to-date was 90.8% and 85% respectively. Our core areas represent approximately 89% of our net earned premium year-to-date. Gross written premiums for the quarter and year-to-date increased from the prior year although the environment for new business relationships remains quite competitive. Our growth in gross written premiums is mainly attributable to increased writings with existing clients. In particular, several of our non-standard automobile clients are experiencing hardening market conditions with higher rates and higher premium retention levels, which has resulted in higher premium cessions under our quota share contracts. We believe this is good quality business and our concentration in this area is helping to drive our combined ratio lower. Second quarter was active for natural catastrophes with significant flooding events in Europe and Canada, and late season tornado events in the US. However, we do not believe we will experience any losses to our contracts from these events. With respect to our property catastrophe…

Thanks, Bart, and good morning everyone. The Greenlight Re investment portfolio returned 2% in the second quarter, which brings the 2013 net return to 7.9%. Our longs outperformed the market as gains from many positions outweighed losses from Apple and the gold miners. Our shorts performed in line with the market, and macro was a slight contributor as gains on our Yen put position roughly offset our loss in our gold position in the quarter. During the gold sell-off in the quarter, we sold a small amount of gold to take advantage of opportunities in gold mining stocks that were in free fall. Overall, we modestly increased our exposure to this area, and our view towards gold has not changed. The market has continued a relentless climb higher, despite year-over-year earnings growth in the low single digits. The increase in stock prices seems driven by a more stable environment and the perception of supportive monetary policy. In the face of a challenging earnings backdrop, a Chinese slowdown, and the continuation of emergency policies, we believe the market’s rapid advance is creating a potentially unstable condition, which could resolve in a number of ways and is difficult to predict. : General Motors’s North American business continues to improve, even as it is still in the early stages of a substantial product refresh cycle. With the recent launch of the new pickup trucks, we believe GM is poised for rapid earnings growth later this year. Marvell Technology Group announced a good first quarter result and has gained share in its core storage controller business, and demonstrated substantial new product wins in mobile handsets and tablets. Aetna and Cigna posted strong first quarter results based upon improving medical trend and both raised guidance for full year 2013. We continue to hold the positions that cost us the most in the quarter. Apple announced that it will return $100 billion to shareholders over the next three years through dividends and share repurchases. This represents a 9% annual return of capital to shareholders, and many companies with similar shareholder friendly capital allocation strategies are currently rewarded with a higher multiple in the market. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, the biggest loser on the short side continues to face challenging business fundamentals as it reported disappointing sales in the first quarter, lowered its revenue forecast and faces increased competition since the K-Cup patent expiration last September. In addition, brewer sales were down year-over-year for the first time, which is a sign that it is approaching saturation of the single-serve at home market. The underwriting team continues to perform well during the soft environment. Our business development efforts seem to be paying off, though we continue to tread carefully and wait for better opportunities. We have made several hires and are pleased with our staffing levels that we may make a few additional hires in the second half of the year. Now I would like to turn the call over to Tim to discuss our financial results.

Thanks, David. For the second quarter of 2013, Greenlight Re reported net income of $28.5 million compared to a net loss of $36.1 million for the comparable period in 2012. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $0.76 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to net loss of $0.98 per share for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 we reported net income of $85.2 million, compared to $29.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $2.27 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $0.78 for the same period in 2012. Gross premiums written were $262.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 11% from gross premiums written of $236.2 million during the first six months of 2012. This increase was primarily a result of increased premium writings relating to non-standard automobile contracts, in which our ceding insurers all experienced an increase in pricing and demand, as well as an existing contract being renewed with higher quota share participation. Additionally, increased writings relating to our Florida homeowners business accounted for some of the overall premium increase. Our net earned premiums increased by approximately 4.7% to $242.5 million for the first six months of 2013. The increase in premiums earned resulting from an increase in non-standard automobile business was partially offset by decreases in premiums earned on commercial automobile business cancelled during 2012, as well as a multi-line contract that we commuted this past quarter. As Bart Mentioned, there was no material earnings impact this quarter as a result of this commutation, although net loss reserves decreased by approximately $37 million as part of a final settlement on this account.…

Thanks Tim. Overall we had a good second quarter increasing fully diluted book value per share by 3.2%. Our underwriting performance improved and we continue to resolve risk in our run-off commercial automobile and general liability portfolios. Our reinsurance market conditions remain competitive. We are growing relationships with several of our profitable existing clients, and I’m optimistic about the prospects for profitable underwriting. Our overall goal is unchanged. We aim to build long-term shareholder value by writing a concentrated underwriting portfolio with the best risk adjusted returns we can find, and to utilize the funds generated from these contracts to invest in our deep value long, short investment program. This investment approach has historically generated superior returns with less volatility than the overall equity markets. We will continue to execute on this strategy and remained focused on driving our key yardstick, increasing fully diluted book value per share. We appreciate your continued confidence in Greenlight Re. Thank you again for your time and now we'd like to open up the call to questions.

Thank you. (Operator instructions) We have a question from Arthur Yeager, ICM. Please go ahead.

Just shed a little more light on what the exposure of the portfolio is to gold and to what extent it is hedged? Thanks.

Yes, the portfolio is exposed in the mid-single digits to gold bullion, and roughly in equal amount to gold miners, and it is not hedged.
