Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Realty Income Second Quarter 2012 Earnings Conference Call. During today’s presentation, all parties will be in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, the conference will be open for questions. (Operator instructions) This conference is being recorded today, July 26, 2012. I would now like to turn the conference over to Tom Lewis, CEO of Realty Income. Please go ahead, sir.

Tom Lewis

CEO

Thank you, Liz, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our conference call where we will discuss the operations activity of the second quarter and for six months of this year. In the room with me today is Gary Malino, our President and Chief Operating Officer; Mike Pfeiffer, our Executive Vice President and General Counsel; and as always, Tere Miller, our Vice President of Corporate Communications. And then on the call with me today will be Paul Meurer, our EVP and Chief Financial Officer, and John Case, our EVP and CIO. And again, during this conference call, we will likely make certain statements that may be considered to be forward-looking statements under Federal Securities law, and the company’s actual future results may differ significantly from the matters discussed in any forward-looking statements. But we’ll discuss in greater detail in the company’s Form 10-Q the factors that may cause such differences. And as our custom, we’ll start with Paul and you can do an overview of the numbers.

Paul Meurer

Management

Thanks Tom. As usual, I’ll just comment on the income statement first and – providing a few highlights and then moving on to the balance sheet. Total revenue increased 13.8% for the quarter. Our revenue for the quarter was just over $115 million, or just over $460 million on an annualized basis. This obviously reflects a significant amount of new acquisitions over the past year. On the expense side, depreciation and amortization expense increased by about $6.8 million in the comparative quarterly period, as that expense increases as our property portfolio, of course, continues to grow. Interest expense increased by almost $3.2 million. This increase was due to our credit facility borrowings during the quarter, as well as the June 2011 issuance of $150 million of notes and the reopening of our 2035 bonds some of which appears in this quarter and not all of which appeared in the comparative quarter last year. On a related note, our coverage ratios both remain strong with interest coverage at 3.6 times and fixed charge coverage at 2.7 times. General and administrative expenses in the second quarter were approximately $9.3 million, as compared to about $8 million a year ago. Part of this increase is due to higher unexpected costs related to our proxy process this year, about $550,000 more than we expected. Our G&A expense has also increased as our acquisition activity has increased and because we’ve added new personnel as we continue to grow the portfolio. We spent $392,000 of acquisition due diligence costs during the quarter, and our employee base has grown from 78 employees a year ago to 89 employees today. However, our current projection for total G&A for all of 2012 is approximately $35 million, which will still represent only about 7.5% of total revenues projected for the…

CEO

Thanks, Paul. Let me kind of run through each piece of the business and I’ll start with the portfolio. The portfolio continued to generate very consistent cash flow during the second quarter. Generally, the tenants are doing well. There were no issues that arose with any of the tenants during the quarter, and I think at this point we’d look for that to continue herein the third quarter. So pretty much steady as she goes for portfolio operations. At the end of the quarter, our largest 15 tenants represented about 48.5% of revenue. That’s down 350 basis points from the same period a year ago and about 90 basis points from the first quarter. So this kind of accelerated acquisition activity we’ve had the last couple of years continues to help us reduce concentrations in the portfolio. Generally very healthy from an operational standpoint, to the average cash flow coverage at the store level for those top 15 tenants stayed just under 2.5 times so very, very healthy relative to the operations there. From an occupancy standpoint, we ended the second quarter at 97.3%, you saw in the release with 75 properties that’s available for lease out of the now 2,762 we own. That’s up about 70 basis points from the first quarter and just about flat unchanged from a year ago. During the quarter, we had only 6 new vacancies in the portfolio. We leased or sold 21 vacant properties during the quarter. And I really have to say our portfolio management department and the leasing people did an outstanding job and have kind of gotten ahead what we’ve asked them to do this year, which is quite positive. In addition to that, we acquired 145 properties and that’s the reason for the change in the numbers. I mentioned…

John Case

Management

Sure. The second quarter was fairly active for acquisitions. As Tom said, we acquired 145 properties for approximately 211 million at an average cap rate of 7.1% and an average lease term of 15 years. The credit profile of the tenants we added was pretty attractive. 98% of the acquisitions or leased – tenants with investment-grade credit ratings. The acquisitions were leased to five tenants in five separate industries. Four of the five tenants were existing tenants of ours. These tenants operate predominantly in the general merchandise, drug store and transportation services industries. The acquisitions were geographically diversified, located in 28 states and 95% of our acquisitions activity was comprised of our traditional retail assets. That brings us to 147 properties acquired for 222 million for the first two quarters of the year at an average cap rate of 7.2% and an average lease term of 15 years. Let me spend a second talking about acquisition yields and investment spreads. Acquisition yields have continued to come down a bit and there are two principal reasons for this. The first is cap rates are coming down as interest rates and investment yields in general continue to decline. A second reason is we’ve acquired a much higher percentage of our properties with investment-grade tenants, which offer lower yields than we had previously. 90% of the assets we have acquired during the first and second quarters are leased to investment-grade tenants. So, we have continued to improve the credit profile of our tenant base, but we have sacrificed some yield to do so. However, our investment spreads, the spread between our initial yields and our nominal cost of equity, defined as our FFO yield adjusted for issuance cost, have continued to be very attractive relative to where they have been historically. Our year-to-date…

Tom Lewis

CEO

Thank you. Obviously, it’s very nice to see a large transaction flow and continue to think that we’ll acquire what our targets have been or more, but do wish that all of the properties under contract would have closed. We think acquisitions is going to continue to play a big role, obviously, first in continuing to grow our revenue in AFFO which is what really drives our dividend increases. And then secondly and equally important to us right now in adjusting really the makeup of the portfolio where we’re trying to more sharply define where we want to be when we’re in retail, and then also as we move outside of retail and importantly, as John mentioned, up the credit curve. Let me move on. Relative to the balance sheet, just quickly, with access to capital we’re in very good shape, as Paul mentioned. Plenty of dry powder to execute on the acquisitions and the new $1 billion credit facility is very helpful in that light. Looking at permanent capital, obviously where our share price is trading is attractive, as is – the debt markets are very attractive and as is preferred, and as we acquire additional properties and the balance builds on the facility, we look to enter the capital markets and take advantage of that at some time. But for now, only about 18% of that facility is drawn. On earnings and guidance, we’re looking – as the release says – for 2.00 to 2.04 per share and FFO that includes the $0.03 of non-cash charge from the preferred. And then AFFO of 2.06 to 2.11 and that’s 2.5% to 5% growth. And that number really is our primary focus as it best really represents the recurring cash flow that we use to pay dividends. And speaking of dividends, we do remain optimistic that our activities will support continued dividend increases. As most of you know, we’ve historically raised the dividend in fairly equal amount each quarter and then looked in our August board meeting to see if a fifth larger increase in the dividend is warranted to keep our payout ratio kind of in the 85% to 87% range, which is where we’re comfortable, of AFFO. And our AFFO payout ratio is in that range now and continues to grow, and the board will have that discussion on an additional larger dividend increase in our board meeting next month. And I think that pretty much does it, and why don’t we – Liz, if we could open up the questions at this time, that’d be great.

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions) And our first question comes from the line of RJ Milligan with Raymond James & Associates. Please go ahead. RJ Milligan – Raymond James & Associates: Good afternoon, guys. Tom, you often run through the acquisition funnel in terms of deals that come in through the door versus the number that you actually close on. And I know we don’t often hear about deals that are under contract that get terminated. I’m just wondering what percentage of the deals that do get under contract end up getting terminated through the due diligence process?

Tom Lewis

CEO

It’s very spotty and most of the properties that we put under contract generally do close but occasionally fall out. And it’s hard just to put a percentage on it. This obviously was one large one, but it does happen and kind of trickles through the year. And usually what it is, is you’ll go through the approval of the tenant, you do the site checks, you do most of the work, and then what happens as you put it under contract and do a lot of the final work – if it falls out, it’s usually either title issues or something with the property condition. Occasionally you can find out that there’s some planned condemnations or there’s some termination rights or something you know right around the lease. Obviously environmental – that happens from time to time. And then a few times for us over the years – since we do a lot of work in larger transactions where the real estate is just one piece of the financing package for an acquisition of an entity, it can fall out by one or more pieces of that doing it. And if you look at a typical year, it’ll be a few properties here and there, and with this one, it was a larger transaction that we worked on with a number of parties and everybody was moving forward and then the decision was made to pull it pretty late in the diligence. So it’s hard to see, “Gee, the number under contract is 100 and generally close 92.6.” It’ll be – we’ll close it all one year, close it all the next year, close 95 one year and then in a situation like this, in a big chunk, it’s hard to tell. RJ Milligan – Raymond James & Associates: And of the 316 that was terminated, does that – is that mostly an existing tenant or is this a new tenant?

Tom Lewis

CEO

It was an existing tenant, I believe, but we had a small position with them. RJ Milligan – Raymond James & Associates: Okay. Thanks, guys.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Joshua Barber with Stifel Nicolaus. Please go ahead. Joshua Barber – Stifel Nicolaus: Hi. Good afternoon.

Tom Lewis

CEO

Hi, Josh. Joshua Barber – Stifel Nicolaus: Tom, you mentioned the growth outlook for the back half of the year. You’re still pretty confident to get to 600 million to 650 million of acquisitions. I’m just wondering how much of that is dependent on, I guess, an LBO or an M&A sort of outlook, or is that just people who are trying to modify existing real estate today?

Tom Lewis

CEO

It’s pretty granular. Isn’t it, John?

John Case

Management

Yes. It’s a little of both, but it’s well-diversified. As usual, the ultimate number will depend on our success on some of the larger portfolios. But I would say there’s some emanating from private equity-generated acquisition opportunities, some we’re working on directly with private developers, and some we’re working directly on with tenants. So it’s really – when I look at the pipeline, it’s not concentrated in one single area. Does that help?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes. Last year, as you recall – and John, you can help me with the numbers – we bought a billion and there were 3 large transactions that, if you totaled them up, they were...

John Case

Management

Yes, 850 million...

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes. And so...

John Case

Management

Three large portfolio transactions.

Tom Lewis

CEO

It was very concentrated last year. And as I look down the list of what we’re looking at, it seems to be in a lot more transactions than it was last year, although some number decent size. Joshua Barber – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay. Tom, you mentioned before about some of the releasing gains that were done in the quarter. What’s roughly the split in occupancy gains between releasing and acquisition?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Gosh, I’m sorry. I’d have to sit down and do the math. But I think if you look at this, we leased or sold – I think it was... Joshua Barber – Stifel Nicolaus: 20-plus?

John Case

Management

And then we bought 140...

Tom Lewis

CEO

140, but that’s on a base of 2,600 already. So I would think – and this is top of my head. I’d have to grab a calculator. Maybe two-thirds really came from leasing. Joshua Barber – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay. That sounds fair. Last question. You guys were mentioning your typical spread on cap rates versus your cost of capital. How do you think about your equity cost of capital today, I guess, given the dividend yield and given the fantastic run the shares have had over the last five years?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes. As we always say when we discuss equity cost of capital, we realize it’s as much a philosophical and religious discussion as it is a financial one. But what we try and do, first of all, is – we’re in a business kind of like a bank where you’re working on spread and you need to make it upfront, and so we kind of focus on a forward AFFO yield, which is obviously AFFO divided by stock price and then we’ll gross it up for issuance, and then say, “Okay. Where are we coming in over that to begin?” And we really start with equity, and that’s the number where historically it’s been about 110 basis points, and at the end of the second quarter it was about 200. And then what we do is we’ll throw in the other type of capital, which is debt, which has huge spreads today and obviously is very attractive, and then preferred, which we issued at the beginning of the year. So as I said, there’s only about 18% of the line drawn right now, but as some of these get closed in the third and fourth quarter, we’ll start thinking about which way we want to go. We’ll watch the markets at that time. But let me tell you, spreads are very large all over and we have, as you know well – I think we’ve issued equity 20 times since we became public in ‘94 and that’s been at a stock price of $19 to $34 to fund accretive acquisitions. So that’s worked out pretty well for the shareholders and we’ve kept debt today I think it’s 23.8% or 23.9% on the balance sheet, so there’s a lot of room there too. So we think that’s all very attractive right now, given where spreads are. Joshua Barber – Stifel Nicolaus: Sounds good. Thanks very much.

Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Rich Moore with RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Rich Moore – RBC Capital Markets: Hi. Good afternoon, guys. With your bigger line, Tom, do you plan to clear it as often, I guess, from an equity issuance standpoint or will you maybe play a bit of the “I think interest rates are going to stay low” game?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes. We’ve historically, as you know, not been one to play that game. The reason for getting the bigger line is we’re working on bigger transactions. And with that said, though, it is efficient, particularly when you look at the debt markets when you issue to make sure it’s index-eligible, and so you need to do in size. I think it’s 250-plus. And also, with equity, I think we’d rather go out if we’re -even if we’re buying a lot and funding a lot, not do small offerings five times a year. It’s a little easier for, I think, the equity side of the street if you fund when you do it in bigger chunks. So we’ll probably leave a little more on the line, but that is a function of not really making a call on interest rates, but a little more comfort and availability to do transactions out there when you have a little bit on the line. Rich Moore – RBC Capital Markets: Okay. All right. Good. Thank you. And then on the disposition front, you guys accelerated a bit in the second quarter and you had talked about how you were going to do that. You had laid out quarterly for us kind of what you were thinking. But now I’m curious as you have slowed the acquisitions a bit because, as you said, you might have been close to $1 billion of acquisitions as you slow that a bit, do you also slow the disposition process or are they really unrelated?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yeah, those are levers we could certainly pull because you really want to start and making sure you have some good AFFO growth to grow the dividend. But with that said, it is a priority for us and we’ll think we’ll close what we probably would have last quarter, but it’ll just be later in the year. But we haven’t slowed disposition. We did five properties for 3.6 in the first quarter and then 14 for, I think, 15 million in the second. And the third quarter, I think we will do more than we did in the second and I’d like to do another 50 million or so the balance of the year. I think that’d get us to around 70 million for the year and most important the run rate up a little bit. And then in the beginning of the year, we can kind of polish off the first 100 million that we put out there. And then we’re likely just going to grab another 100 million and start off again next year. But if we could get the run rate 50 million to 100 million a year and then we can take a look at all the other levers and all the other variables and looking at the company’s cash flows and work off that. But we’re very active. There’s – right now we’re at a point where there’s 10 to 15 that are in some property – some type of closing, whether you’re just putting them under LLI or whether you’re – they’ve gone non-contingent. And then I think we’ve got 28 properties out on the market and then a good-sized group of properties behind that can go out and that’s on the 100 million. So we do intend to be active, but if I can get to a run rate of 50 million to 100 million a year at the end of the quarter. And kind of next year get into – or at the end of the year and next year get it up around 100 million, we’d be happy. Rich Moore – RBC Capital Markets: Okay. Good. Thank you. And then is Crest officially gone now or is it just irrelevant? I mean, you did mention it for the first time that I can remember in the press release and I’m assuming the properties are gone. So is it – have you done away with it?

Tom Lewis

CEO

No. It’s still just hanging out there and I think it’s got three properties in it and then two mortgages that we took back, so it’s generating some income. It just didn’t have any activity so we kind of left it out there. But actually, with the acquisition that was under contract and didn’t close, we did plan to put some properties in there and use it. It wasn’t going to be a huge number, but we will use it if we think it helps us from a diversification standpoint in doing something, but we don’t look at – for it to become active over the next quarter or so. Rich Moore – RBC Capital Markets: Okay. And then Friendly’s and Buffet’s – are we run rate at this point on those two?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes. I think we are on those. The leasing – I think we said that we thought the Friendly’s – we would recover about 80% and I looked this morning and we’ve updated that number. We think it’ll be a little higher – around 82. And then Buffet’s – yes, I think we had said about a 65 recovery. That’s also looking a little better just by a couple hundred basis points or so. And then the leasing in Friendly’s – we had in the model not to really lease anything this year and it’s gone faster than that. That was part of what this quarter was. And similar on Buffet’s. So I’d say run rate and just moving through and maybe a little bit above what we thought recoveries would be. Rich Moore – RBC Capital Markets: Okay. Very good. Thank you, guys.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Emanuel Porchman with Citi. Please go ahead. Emanuel Porchman – Citi: Hi, guys. Good afternoon.

Tom Lewis

CEO

Good afternoon. Emanuel Porchman – Citi: Just had a – with the properties that you ultimately terminated the contracts on, was that purely a property characteristic or a title characteristic or the environmental issue that you talked about earlier – was there pricing involved, too?

Tom Lewis

CEO

It wasn’t – yes. It wasn’t pricing and it wasn’t one of those others; it was the overall transaction moving away from of which we part of. And I apologize. Beyond that, I can’t say much. There were a number of parties involved and our confidentiality agreement was only cleared to discuss when it closed, and since it didn’t close we’re still under it, and since we plan to do future transactions with those parties – perhaps not on these assets – I really can’t go much further. But it was the transaction itself that went away. Emanuel Porchman – Citi: Understood. And then on last quarter’s call, you had discussed about a third of what you look at being investment-grade, and obviously you’re closing a hyper-percentage of stuff as investment-grade tenants. Is that really sort of a consistent run rate or was that simply the portfolio you were looking at the time, and how much of the 650 for the year – how much of it is going to end up being 650 as investment-grade, I guess is my question.

Tom Lewis

CEO

Great. Of course, it’s subject to what closes and doesn’t, but John, maybe you’d take a run at that.

John Case

Management

Right. The 90% we’ve closed year to date that’s investment-grade is high. I would expect it to come down a bit based on what’s in the pipeline and what we’re working on, but it is dependent upon some of these larger portfolios – some of which are not investment-grade, some of which are investment-grade. But I would expect it to be a little higher than where it was last year at the end of the year if I had to guess, and last year...

Tom Lewis

CEO

Right now, ballpark.

John Case

Management

Yeah. 50% or so.

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yeah. It’s hard to tell, but it is, as I said, one of the things we’re trying to do. And above and beyond just investment grade, I would say even when you get below investment grade it tends to be on average a little higher credit than it might have been in the past. And that’s intentional, too. But... Emanuel Porchman – Citi: Perfect. Thank you, guys.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Paul Lukasik with Morningstar. Please go ahead. Paul Lukasik – Morningstar: Hi. Good afternoon, guys. Just to follow-up on the investment grade question. I guess, sort of in an ideal world, five to 10 years down the road, what percentage of the portfolio would you guys like to have in the investment grade category?

John Case

Management

Yeah. We haven’t been as exactly specific, but we’d like to move that up. And again, I’ll allude to what I just said, which is some of the things that aren’t investment-grade will be cut, and if they have very high cash flows, we’ll be happy with that. But right now, we’ve gone from zero to close to 20% in between 15 to 20 today, and in just a couple of years, and we’d be very happy five, six years down the line if that was 50% to 60%. And we think that that’s something that we’ll be very happy about down the road. There will come a point likely, but interest rates do get higher, although they could stay low for some time, and so we are really working for five, six, seven years down the road, and if it could be 50, 60, 70, that’d be just fine. Paul Lukasik – Morningstar: Okay. Thanks. And then just curious about the timing of the acquisitions that did close in the quarter, were there early, late, middle?

John Case

Management

Virtually all of them were at the end of the quarter. Paul Lukasik – Morningstar: Okay, great. Thanks for taking my questions, guys.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Todd Stender with Wells Fargo Securities. Please go ahead. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Hi. Thanks, guys. Just looking at the average of investment per property in the second quarter. It looks around the 1.5 million range. Is this a reflection of the type of deals you’re looking at right now, or am I looking too much into that?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yeah. It’s just what actually closed. And as John said, the vast majority of this quarter was in retail, and traditionally those are smaller and these were a little smaller, too. So, I don’t think it’s really anything targeted. There was just a cluster of retail with smaller stores this quarter. That’s likely to increase over the next quarter – a few quarters and be a larger number per property. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Have you guys talked about the tenants? Have you disclosed who the tenants are and specifically what industries within retail?

Tom Lewis

CEO

John, you talked about the industries, I think, a little earlier in the call, which was general merchandise, drug store...

John Case

Management

And transportation services.

Tom Lewis

CEO

And then I think there was a little QSR.

John Case

Management

Yeah. A little QSR.

Tom Lewis

CEO

And so those were the industries. But we didn’t do the tenants individually, but if you look into the top 15, you’ll see that there were some increases in some names and some that popped in for the first time. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Okay. Thanks. And John, the blended cap rate was 7.1. If some of these properties were going to go individually, are they going for higher or is there a portfolio premium that we should look at?

John Case

Management

I think there is a portfolio premium today in that $100 million to $200 million range. Buyers are trying to get capital efficiently invested. When you get above 200 million, that premium goes away because there’s just a limited number of players who can execute transactions in excess of 200 million without financing contingencies. So there is a bit of a portfolio premium at that level, 150 million.

Tom Lewis

CEO

Todd, I think one’s talking cap rates, one’s talking price. I think when you do a portfolio in the 100 million to 200 million range today, it actually – you may pay a tiny bit more than you would on a one-off. Above that number, you would pay less than a one-off, and it’s not a huge spread but it’s a little bit of a spread, given the number of people out trying to put capital out in bulk. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Okay. That’s helpful. Thanks, Tom. And really, who – back to the disposition discussion, who are the buyers to support the volumes that go in excess of 50? If you say you’re going to shoot for 50 million to 100 million, what kind of buyers are you looking at?

Tom Lewis

CEO

To date, it has been all individual buyers. The numbers, in terms of property size, is fairly small, as you can see by how many we sold and what the value were. And there is a 1031 market again today, to some extent, because with the declining cap rates, there are some gains out there in commercial property. So some have been there. And – but that was the majority of kind of one-offs years ago. Today, it’s maybe a third 1031 and the other two-thirds are just people looking for yield. They are yield-starved out in the marketplace, and so when something comes out and has a name on it and has an attractive yield, the prices are – the cap rates are lower than we had anticipated when we started doing this. We were thinking on some of these it would be up in the 9 and 10s and it’s down into the 8s and 7s. So they’re individuals. One of the things we may do as we move along here, given that there are some people out there trying to look to put away money in little – larger pieces is we may package some up and work through a few people and look for a little more quasi-institutional buyer for some of the assets. But today it’s been all individual. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Okay. That’s helpful. And just lastly, I’ll just ask Paul a question. There doesn’t seem to be much change expected in the second half of the year with your property operating expense guidance. Is it fair to say you’re not expecting any new vacancies? And if that’s the case, how long a lead time do you generally get for tenants, soy if you notice when they’re moving out?

Paul Meurer

Management

Well, as a general comment on that area, the estimate did go down. I think last quarter I estimated 9.2 million for the year. Now that estimate is closer to $9 million. The increase that we’ve had has really not been a bad debt expense; it’s been more some costs on vacant properties; insurance, legal fees, things like that. The down time – historically, we used to say six to nine months. I’d say over the past handful of years that widened, it became more nine to 12 months or sometimes more. And that has started to tighten a bit back to the more normalized run rate, which – let’s call it nine months, to kind of answer your question. So it did widen even further than that, but I think it’s been getting better and the folks in portfolio management have been able to release things a little quicker than they were, say, 18 months ago.

Tom Lewis

CEO

On the how much lead-time do we get when a tenant has a problem? We have a few properties in the portfolio that it’s a one-man show where we released and then it’s generally the rent doesn’t show up. But in the vast majority of the cases, we have large tenants. And so we’re trying to do some job of monitoring their situation. We normally do get a lead-time. Not always, but normally we’ll know 90 days ahead of time or so, and sometimes five, six months that mom’s on the roof or something’s going on. And today that – as I said earlier, there was nothing that came up during the second quarter and we don’t anticipate anything in the third quarter. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Okay. That’s helpful. And actually I did have one last question. If you could just address the development piece of the new properties that you purchased in the second quarter?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes. Of that total, about 3 million was development-oriented investments. So, very little of it. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: These are new construction. They’re pre-leased. They’re just not cash-flowing yet?

Tom Lewis

CEO

Yes correct. And I’ll just comment on that right now. We have five properties under development and it’s not a huge amount of money, and then three re-developments. And in those, if you look at it, the total cost will be about 31 million and we’ve already funded 21 million, so there’s only about 9.8 million to be funded. And in each case, it’s a situation where we have the tenant and there is somebody building the building and we were able to go in and buy it during the construction period and it’s going to get built when the lease is already in place. So you’re not taking lease upward. Todd Stender – Wells Fargo: Okay. Thanks, guys.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Tom Lesnick with Robert W Baird. Please go ahead. Tom Lesnick – Robert W Baird: Hi, guys. Just standing in real quick for Paula Poskon. Most of the other questions we had have been answered at this point, but just a quick one. How much of that occupancy increase was due to vacant properties being reclassified as held for sale?

Tom Lewis

CEO

None. Tom Lesnick – Robert W Baird: None. Okay. That’s helpful. That’s all I got.

Tom Lewis
