Thanks very much Rich. As we mentioned the earnings call for Solar Capital early this morning, we believe 2012 was a pivotal year for the BDC sector. Despite periods of market volatility, positive economic indicators continued accommodative monetary policy both to the liquid capital markets. The strong capital inflows impacted the opportunity set on both the asset and liability side of BDC balance sheet. It demonstrated stable capital structure and manager adherence to core investment discipline and discipline are essential to a BDC’s long-term success and value creation for share holders. We also played significant importance on managerial business with an ownership mentality. The same approach we have maintained since inception as one of the largest investors in SUNS’ common stock. Normally a low yield throughout the fixed income universe have continued to attract capital into the leverage credit sector. The liquid syndicated high yield and bank loan experienced robust demand for new issuance in the fourth quarter and issuers capitalizes the environment to cut spread, increase leverage levels and loosen covenants. In these larger liquid credit market, the relative of value case for bank loans with higher bonds became more compelling over the course of 2012. By the end of the year, spreads nailed significantly between The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index and The Credit Suisse High Yield Index. In the current environment, the risk reward value proposition of Solar Senior Capital, with its portfolio of middle-market senior secured loans versus higher bonds has become an even more compelling investment proposition given the mid 7% funds yield versus the yield of the Credit Suisse High Yield Index at just over 6%. Importantly, funds investment are secured by the issuer's assets and have left leverage of being more senior capital structure with better covenant protection than traditional high yield bonds.…

Thank you, Michael. Solar Senior Capital’s net asset value at December 31, 2012 was $174.1 million or $18.33 per share compared to $176.7 million or $18.50 per share at September 30 and compared to $172.4 million or $18.15 per share at December 31, 2011. Our investment portfolio had a fair market value of $212.6 million on December 31, 2012 compared to $235.0 million at September 30 and compared to $177.7 million at December 31, 2011. The portfolio decrease from the third quarter resulted principally from approximately $80 million in exits versus approximately $16 million of portfolio investments. The increase in our portfolio year-over-year resulted primarily from approximately $34 million in net investment growth. At December 31, 2012, we had investments in 31 portfolio companies in 17 industries totaling $212.6 million at fair value. The portfolio was invested 97% in senior secured loans and 3% in unsecured, measured at fair value and over 98% of the portfolio at fair value is comprised of floating rates securities. The weighted average yield on our investment portfolio at share value is 7.8% at December 31, 2012. This is compared to 8.1% at September 30, 2012 and 8.5% at December 31, 2011. For 2012, gross investment income totaled $20.5 million, a significant increase over the $7.9 million in 2011, primarily due to our ramp to a larger average investment portfolio for 2012. For Q4, our gross investment income was $6.1 million versus $4.9 million in Q3, due to significant amount of pre-payment income during the quarter. Please note that our taxable income typically exceeds our GAAP income, thus providing a cushion in covering our dividend when we experienced portfolio prepayments. Expenses totaled $8.0 million for 2012 compared to $5.3 million in 2011. The increase in expenses is primarily due to year that saw a significant growth in our portfolio of assets and business in general, as compared to a partial first year of operations in 2011. Net investment income totaled $12.5 million or $1.30 per average share, compared to $2.6 million or $0.30 per average share for 2011. For the fourth quarter, net investment income was $3.4 million or $0.36 per share versus $3.0 million or $0.32 per share in Q3 2012. Net realized and unrealized gains for fiscal 2012 totaled $1.4 million versus net realized and unrealized losses of $2.85 million for fiscal 2011. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations totaled $13.9 million for fiscal 2012 versus a decrease of $250,000 for fiscal 2011. Basically earnings per share totaled $1.46 for 2012 compared to a loss of $0.03 in 2011. At this time, I’d like to turn the call over to our Chief Operating Officer, Bruce Spohler.

Thank you Rich. In general, earnings are steady or improved across our portfolio during the fourth quarter with a 100% of our assets performing. Outside of one stress credit engineering solutions, which I will discuss in a moment, we remained pleased with the overall credit quality of the SUNS’ portfolio. As Michael mentioned, there was significant activity in the portfolio with respect to both originations, follow-on investments as well as repayment during Q4. In spite of larger than expected redemptions, our portfolio ended the year well diversified with investments in 31 distinct issuers across 17 different industry groups. The weighted average investment size is approximately $7 million. In light of the property credit market conditions that we’ve experienced, I’d like to reiterate our patient and prudent investment philosophy. We will continue to be disciplined in building the SUNS’ portfolio and prudent in deploying our available capital selectively into only those investments that will meet our strict underwriting standards. The weighted average investment risk rating on the portfolio is measured at fair market value at the end of Q4, as we remain steady at approximately 2 based upon our 1:4 risk rating scale with 1 representing the least amount of risk. Other than ESP, there is nothing else in the SUNS’ portfolio that keeps us (inaudible) from a credit perspective. The weighted average yield of the portfolio based on fair value was 7.8% as compared to 8.1% at September 30. Secured loans account for approximately 97% of the fair value of the portfolio at quarter’s end and over 98% of the assets at fair value, fair interest at a floating rate. For our first lien investments, the weighted average leverage through our investment is in the mid three times while cash interest coverage is a healthy 3.3 times. Now let me…

Thank you, Bruce. 2012 was a very important year for Solar Senior Capital. We took advantage of opportunities to enhance the capital structure and to position the company for long term sustainable growth. Our efforts resulted in longer cost to capital, sustaining the maturity of our credit facility and increase our capital base to support further portfolio investments and diversification. We continued to demonstrate our ability to leverage the Solar platform to store, attract investment. In addition, we have taken advantage of opportunities to migrate familiar credits from Solar Capital to Solar Senior Capital. These transactions provide extended duration of familiar investments, having attractive credit profile and allow us to amortize the due diligence and monetize our experience with certain issuers. Since the IPO of Solar Senior Capital on February 24, 2011 and through year end 2012, we invested over $450 million in 42 different portfolio companies. Over the same period, we completed transactions of more than 30 different financial sponsors. With now over $2 billion of investable capital across both Solar Capital and Solar Senior Capital, we believe they are meaningful partner to financial sponsors. The expected synergies are working. With increased scale of funds we expect the ultimate larger, average sized investments and to be in a position to drive pricing in turn. Since inception new investments have averaged approximately $50 million per quarter and we are comfortable with the pay of approximately $200 million in annual originations. Importantly we have sufficient dry powder from the January equity rates and access to the delay drop each of our credit facility to fund investments and further diversify our portfolio. We are focused on delivering long term shareholder value for building business to scale, to deliver stable income in the form of consistent monthly dividends from a diversified portfolio of…

(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from the line of John Stilmar with JMP Securities. Please proceed. John W. Stilmar – JMP Securities LLC: Good morning gentlemen. Just really quickly following up on the first same question that I asked on the last call with regards to sequestration, obviously your comments were pretty detailed with regards to your one credit, but I think there is other different name that’s in the SUNS’ portfolio, how should we be thinking about that as well? And then is there any corollary kind of fill over that we should be thinking about for the rest of the portfolio if the sequestration becomes a bigger issue?

No. I think in the SUNS portfolio issue, no it’s predominantly secured assets and the majority of which are first lean assets of $1 risk in the capital structure. So to the extent that we’re going to face any headwinds, I think we’re well positioned across the portfolio. We do have certain assets in SUNS such as AmeriQual that makes ready-to-eat meals for the military. That has been a rather stable performer, so are leveraged. I highlight that because it’s contrasted with engineering specialty products, not every government service business has created equivalence. It’s really going to be I think going forward, one is going to have to really pick their spots, whether it’s cyber security or steady need such as ready-to-eat meals. So I think that historically everybody felt that defense services was a sector that was extremely favorable, broadly speaking and as you know, we hit on a fair business sector in our sister portfolio with Solar Capital. So I think that engineering specialty does provide some critical services, but I do think there is going to be some delay there given what’s going on in Washington right now as well as the fact that as we mentioned we need to sit down with a sponsor and management and try to recapitalize the balance sheet. But I think there is no broad themes other than you should expect us to be highly selective as we look at government services going forward, given the current environment.

Okay, great. And then in terms of the assets that were ported over from Solar to SUNS, can you remind me about one of the criticisms of sharing assets between institutions is that there is a difference at least in terms of the inner creditor agreement or ownership of different classes. Correct if I am wrong? Solar and SUNS is the same class, correct?

Yeah, just to be clear, yes. You are right on. What we were trying to highlight was really the way the platform has been able to leverage the knowledge that we have with issuers as they migrate into other asset classes of the issuer. What I mean by that and fleet price for example as I touched on, historically they had junior capital outstanding, the business outperformed, and then went to the bank market. So we were able to at Solar Senior leverage the Solar Capital’s history and knowledge of that issuer to go in and underwrite bank deals. Solar Capital did not participate. They were exited out of their prior investment, because it’s not appropriate, first lean is really just over Solar Senior. To your corollary question, there are occasions where we will invest in the exact same security in both funds at the same time, and that would tend to be something like a second lean as you see in a issuing where we are able to leverage our historical knowledge of that business and invest a little bit in both platforms in the exact same security. John W. Stilmar – JMP Securities LLC: Got it, very helpful. Thank you.
