Thanks, Robert. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us. I’m pleased to report that Halozyme continues to make solid progress across the board with all of our product development initiatives. And that holds true for our three partnered programs and for our five proprietary pipelines products. With the current turmoil and dislocations in the financial markets, it is frustrating for us not to see our progress and hard work more fairly reflected in our share price. Many of you on the call attended our analyst day presentation in New York on October 8, and I know that you as shareholders and investors who follow our company are experiencing the same frustration. However, we firmly believe that all of the activities we are pursuing to push our programs forward aggressively, both alone and with partners, are raising the intrinsic value of Halozyme significantly. Eventually, we expect that market conditions will improve and allow for evaluation of our company that more accurately reflects the value of our products, our development programs and our alliances. Today I am going to provide a status report on our insulin program that includes both regular and analog formulations. Gregory Frost will discuss the status of our other proprietary programs such as PEG PH20. Bob Little will be updating you on our three partnered programs with Roche and Baxter, and David Ramsey will provide the highlights of our financial results. As many of you know, HALO is focusing resources on the development of a proprietary pipeline that leverages our unique scientific understanding of the matrix which is the area between cells that contains structural proteins and various fibrous components. This area is a target rich environment for developing innovative therapeutic products. As part of this strategy, we have identified at least four multi billion dollar franchises…

Thanks, Jonathan, and good afternoon, everyone. I’ll be starting with an update on our two programs on oncology, intravenous PEG PH20 for solid tumors and Chemophase for superficial bladder cancer followed by a description of where we stand with other dermatology and bisphosphonates R&D efforts. Recently we presented efficacy data at the AACR Translational Cancer meeting from animal tumors models with intravenous PEG PH20 in combination with either docetaxel or liposomal doxorubicin. Hyaluronin or HA is a dominant constituent of the tumor micro environment of many solid tumors and we believe it may increase resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. The removal of HA from a tumor with our former PEG PH20 enzyme which consists of hyaluronidase enzyme with polyethylene glycol moieties attached results in a significant reduction in tumor size. HA removal also leads to significant reductions in tumor interstitial fluid pressure of IFP in tumors diffusion weighted MRI. Many experts believe that elevation tumor IFP may limit the response to cytotoxic treatment regimens in multiple solid tumors. The data present at the July AACR meeting demonstrated a substantial increase in anti-tumor activity from the combination of a PEG PH20 with docetaxel and with doxarubicen. For example in the xenograft PC3 model, a tumor that produced pericellular HA, tumor volume growth over time was significantly reduced and survival significantly prolonged for the PEG PH20 plus docetaxel treatment group compared to the controlled or docetaxel groups alone. In addition, effects on tumor mass were observed following treatment with the pegylated enzyme alone. This finding led us to conduct additional testing of PEG PH20 as monotherapy which has produced positive results. These new studies support our belief that the PEG PH20 program could lead to a potentially first in class montherapeutic and chemo adjuvant therapeutic by targeting HA in the tumor micro environment.…

Thank you, Greg. Halozyme has three distant partnership programs in place with two companies Roche and Baxter Bioscience for enhanced technology, as well as a partnership with Baxter Medication Delivery for Hylenex, our FDA approved drug. I’ll start by discussing our enhanced partnership with Roche. Our Roche alliance continues to advance, and we are very pleased with the progress demonstrated to date. The Roche partnership has met or exceeded our expectations in every area. Manufacturing scale up of a higher yielding PH20 enzyme manufacturing process is making good progress and we expect that this enhanced production capacity will support Roche’s needs going forward, as well as well Halozyme’s internal programs. During the quarter, we entered into a clinical supply agreement with a second production source to produce additional manufacturing runs of clinical grade hyaluronidase during 2009. Our second enhanced technology partnership is with Baxter Bioscience. Earlier this year, Baxter presented positive results from its Gammagard enhanced technology Phase I/II clinical trial that tested subcutaneous delivery of Gammagard following administration of our proprietary hyaluronidase enzyme. During its recent 2008 third quarter earnings conference call, Baxter announced that it submitted and IND to the FDA to conduct phase III clinical trials with Gammagard liquid plus Halozyme enhanced technology as a monthly subcutaneous injection for a single site for the treatment of primary immune deficiency. We are pleased with both the allocation of resources and the level of commitment demonstrated by Baxter Bioscience to push the Gammagard program very rapidly forward. Now let me shift over to our Hylenex partnership. During the third quarter, Baxter Medication Delivery has continued to build out its sales and marketing infrastructure and has now hired and trained its first group of dedicated pediatric emergency department sales reps. These reps are in addition to those already on board…

Thank you, Bob, and good afternoon, everyone. Our net loss for the third quarter of 2008 or $10.9 million or $0.14 per share compared with a net loss for the third quarter of 2007 of $7 million or $0.09 per share. For the nine months, our net loss totaled $31.8 million or $0.40 per share compared to $15.2 million or $0.21 per share during the first nine months of 2007. Revenues for the third quarter of 2008 were $2.5 million compared to $943,000 for the third quarter of 2007 and revenues under collaborative agreements for the third quarter of 2008 with $2.2 million compared with $758,000 for the third quarter of 2007. Revenues under collaborative agreements in 2008 primarily consisted of the amortization of upfront fees received from Baxter and Roche of $588,000 and research and development reimbursements from Baxter of $847,000 and Roche of $760,000. Our research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were $10.1 million compared with $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2007 reflecting increased compensation expenses, research and development spending on our PEG PH20, our insulin and dermatology both clinical and pre-clinical programs, and also the production cost associated with the manufacturing scale up of our PH20 enzyme. As you heard Bob Little describe, this manufacturing scale up is important as it will provide Roche the API they need in order to meet their future requirements. Selling general and administration expenses for the third quarter of 2008 were $3.5 million compared with $2.8 million for the comparable period in 2007 reflecting increased compensation expense due to higher head count. Our financial position remains strong with cash and cash equivalents of $72.5 million as of September 30, 2008, compared with $97.7 million as of December 31, 2007. Our cash burn for the third quarter of 2008 was roughly $10 million. That concludes my remarks and now I’ll return the call back over to Jonathan.

Thanks, David. At this point, I would like to summarize for you some of the goals and events that we expect to the occur within the next several quarters. The initiation of several phase I and phase II clinical trials in our insulin program, in addition to the Phase II that began in October, these additional studies will look at dose response over a range of insulin and enzyme doses or another would utilize three times per day meal time dosing of insulin plus enzyme over a one to two month period. Initiation before the end of 2008 of a phase I clinical trial for PH20 bisphosphonates the only subcutaneous bisphosphonate for the treatment of osteoporosis, the initiation of a phase I clinical trial for PEG PH20 in solid tumors during the first half of 2009 and initiation of the phase III clinical trial in primary immunodeficiency by Baxter for Gammagard enhanced technology. So we have a lot of clinical trial activity going on, but also there’s potential announcements regarding progress of current partnerships as well as the signing of new partnerships may also happen. We look forward to future discussions with you regarding the exciting progress we’re making with our development and commercialization efforts in our various programs, especially the clinical progress of our proprietary pipeline. So with that overview, let’s open it up for questions. Operator?

(Operator instructions). And your first question comes from the line of Kevin Jason [ph].

I guess that will be me, thanks a lot, guys.

Thank you

Congratulations, nice quarter. Couple of things there, let’s talk about Baxter for a little bit here. Specifically I guess what are the plans here with Hylenex for the acute care market? Is that still priority for Baxter and kind of help us understand the roll out which continues to sort of work at is own pace, I suppose?

Yes, the roll out actually as I said is actually starting. In the hospital environment, it is important to bring first of all the key teaching centers on board in terms of formulary access, keeping in lead, advocacy of the technology, and that is currently happening. As I mentioned, the 50 patient pediatric study was recently completed, it’s being submitted as we speak for publication. And as soon as the manuscript is published and in the hands of the sales force, a fuller roll out will happen into the community hospitals, a much greater roll out during next year. So the first wave of sales people are trained, they are in the field today, and Baxter will continue to ramp up during 2009, with a significant launch as soon as the B21 [ph] study is published.

At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, can you explain to us a little more clearly what the current selling effort behind Hylenex looks like by Baxter because it’s not showing up in your P&Ls? I think we are all expecting and hoping for a ramp here on the product, but I need is there – what are the sales people out in the field doing? I understand the value of published data to come, but I mean help us get a little bit more comfortable that there is a ramp up to come on this product, and help us understand where we are today?

Yes. Initially in most of these hospitals, we have to first of all get onto the formulary and that process has started both with a group of dedicated pediatric sales people as well as Baxter assigning their existing contract account teams across the country into major hospitals. And in the hospital environment, that can sometimes take three to six months to actually go to a P&T committee, get formulary access, provide the data, get funding before they actually start ordering. So, we are starting to see this process now ramping up, and will culminate as I said with the publication of the clinical data in the second half of next year, following which then there should be a full ramp up in the second half of 2009. That’s when we will start to really see some numbers appearing.

Fair enough. And are there still plans to target the acute care market in hospice et cetera in terms of patients with trouble with deep venous access is that less of a priority these days?

There are a number of other markets that are currently being considered; long term care being one, the nursing home market. Right now, the main focus is on the pediatric hydration market, just because this is seen as a significant opportunity. The study that we just completed, the data was very positive, and obviously I don’t want to go into too much of the detail since it hasn’t been accepted for publication yet, very highly accepted by both physicians as well as parents which is very important. So I think Baxter and we see that the pediatric hydration market being one where there is a very significant opportunity for children to be hydrated subcutaneously in emergency room setting. That is the main focus today.

Okay, fair enough. And just going over to the Gammagard partnership as well, the Hylenex and then perhaps I’ll get back in queue, are there any -- I mean how do we think about the opportunity for expansion into Alzheimer’s which I know is priority for Gammagard? I mean Baxter presumably will need a labeled indication for Alzheimer’s before you could do any proof of concept with the formulation, is that correct?

The Alzheimer’s programs are being driven by Baxter. At this point, we are focusing on the PID market with our enzyme, and that is the Phase III study that we are about to start very shortly. And so I’ll defer any Alzheimer’s comments for the future.

Okay. So there’s no plans currently for doing an Alzheimer’s study?

I can’t comment on that one way or the other.

Fair enough, thanks so much.

(Operator instructions). Your next question comes from the line of Lu Nan [ph].

Hi, guys. Lu Nan in for Yun [ph]. Just a question on the insulin program, in terms of potential partnership strategy, can you go over that and give us a little more color in terms of what type of study any potential partners wants to see before looking to a partnership?

Yes, so this is a very interesting program because we have the opportunity to combine the PH20 enzyme with both analog as well as regular insulin products. As we mentioned on previous calls, we already entered into discussions with various players in the insulin space, and there’s been widespread interest in this program. So we are initiating this phase II study with our eyes wide open in terms of knowing the kinds of endpoints that would be of interest to prospective partners. We also have a number of studies that will be enabling for own registration pathway with a regular insulin product, and so it gives us maximum flexibility in terms of being open to partnerships along the way but also driving forward with our own proprietary insulin program.

And just a quick question on the bisphosphonate program, for the Phase I (inaudible) are you looking to combine your technology with one product on the market or (inaudible) two, can you give us a little more color in terms what trends you are looking at (inaudible) can you give some more detail on that?

What I can say is that obviously we have been looking at the intravenous bisphosphonates that target on this. And obviously Boniva and zoledronate are the two key targets there. The actual design that we’re looking at actually is applicable to bisphosphonates as a class, but specifically what we’re looking at is a study that will address the tolerability of a desired dose of bisphosphonates based upon the volume by which it could be administered. So think of this where you start in a large volume with enzyme, we know this will be tolerated and safe, and then taking it down to see what target volume we can reach that is tolerated. And that will effectively then drive the process going out into pharmacokinetics studies and additional end points. Next question, please?

(Operator instructions). And then there are no further questions at this time.

Halozyme has a unique and exciting business strategy with its five proprietary programs and three partnered programs that aim to leverage our core technology and knowledge base. We are not just developing one or two products, the strategy followed by many biotech companies. Instead HALO is leveraging its core technology and expertise across a number of therapeutic categories that represent large, established markets and substantial commercial opportunities. Despite the breadth of our programs and the depth of our activities, we continue to operate in a capital efficient manner as demonstrated by our use of $25 million of cash during the first nine months of 2008. We believe this strategy will provide multiple opportunities for success that can drive significant value for our shareholders. We look forward to updating you again soon on our progress and will be presenting at the Lazard Conference on November 18 and at the Piper Jaffray Conference on December 3. Again thank you for your support, for your interest in HALO and for your participation in today’s call. Take care, everyone.

That concludes today’s conference call. You may now disconnect.
