Thanks Bartley, as always we value your comments on these matters. Good morning and thank you very much for joining us on the second quarter 2008 earnings call. With me today on the call are Larry Kreider, our CFO and Brenda Walker, our Vice President of Operations. Also available to us by telephone are Tom Richey, our Vice President of Development and Construction, Nancy Mozzachio, our Vice President of Leasing, Michael Winters, our Vice President of Acquisitions and a number of other members of our management team. Our second quarter continues this year’s march towards what we believe will continue to be strong operating results. Larry Kreider will focus on a number of the financials details subsequent to my comments. My comments are intended to reconfirm our primary focus on necessity retailing, representing what we call bread and butter shopping centers. Our bread and butter concept is focused on supermarket and drug store anchored community strip shopping centers. Our properties have little exposure to any tendencies other than supermarkets and drugs stores. We have especially little commitment to home improvements or to discretionary categories such as fashion, luxury and alike. We have sufficient financial liquidity to adequately fund or continuing operations and substantial development pipeline. While still affording to us the flexibility to benefit from special investment opportunities as they may arise. As mentioned in prior presentations our supermarkets and drug stores performed well in these challenging times and that consumer spend more on groceries and correspondingly less in restaurants and they traveled more to the local supermarket than to the faraway malls and big-box centers. As a result our supermarket tenants are experiencing some of the best quarter they have ever had. Many of our supermarket operators are seeking to expand and we are working with a number of…

For full details of our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, I refer you to our press release issued last night as well as our supplemental financial information published on our website and also available at www.fcc.gov. Our results in the second quarter showed a consistency of our operations and the progress we are making pursuant to our business plan despite the continuing uncertain economic and capital markets environment. Our FFO was $0.31 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $0.30 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2008. The variances we had in the quarter were relatively minor when compared to items we reported in prior quarters. Lastly, we increased our FFO by $0.01 per share as a result of our previously announced purchase of joint venture interest in four Pennsylvania supermarket-anchored properties and additional order ship interest in an unconsolidated joint venture. Our occupancies remain strong in the second quarter of 2008. We continue to have 96% stabilized portfolio occupancy and 92% total portfolio occupancy at both June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008. As reported in our supplemental package, we have modest levels of leasing activity as a result of these high stable occupancy levels. We continue to have good expense recovery results. We collected approximately 71% of our billable common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses in the second quarter of 2008 consistent with the first quarter. This provided a benefit to our FFO of approximately $0.01 per share because our overall expense level in the second quarter decreased substantially from the first quarter of 2008 which had snow removal costs. The increase to FFO from Ohio expense recoveries was substantially offset by a higher provision for bad debt expense of approximately $0.01 per share principally…

Our message is reflected in our ads. We are a bread and butter necessities based shopping center REIT. This means that we are purposefully and thoughtfully a risk of this company. Our portfolio both exciting and development properties is commented primarily to long leases with strong super market anchors and other retailers of daily necessity products and services. Our developments are premised on executed leases and caped construction costs for our anchors. Our portfolio evidences almost no exposure to fashion, luxury, big-boxes, home improvements and the like. After many chains announcing store closings, almost none are included in our shopping centers. We have been careful to maintain availability and to husband our resources, so as to fund our strong exciting development pipeline and to be in a position to benefit from possible additional opportunities, which may arise. We have a strong disciplined management team fully committed to executing our business plan and enhancing shareholder values while meeting the challenges of these uncertain markets and times. At this point operator Anthony, we would be pleased to accept any questions.

(Operator Instructions) and we'll take our first question from Paul Adornato at BMO Capital Markets. Paul Adornato – BMO Capital Markets: I was wondering, if there is anything to report with respect to discussions with the Inland Group and related to that can you tell us anything about the strategic review that is the valuation of the portfolio that you have started?

Okay; there are no ongoing discussions with Inland; although, I did have a call with Tom McCauley, about his 45th high school reunion, but we can’t get into that. There are no other pending continuing strategic discussions at this point. We continue to talk to investment bankers about the value of our portfolio, but again Paul there is no strategic initiative at this point. Paul Adornato – BMO Capital Markets: Okay and with respect to the development pipeline, looking on page 12, if you were to just look at the development and redevelopment of lease-up percentage, it looks pretty flat. I was wondering if there were properties coming in and out of the pipeline; kind of if you could maybe provide a little bit of color on the leasing on the development and redevelopment properties.

Page 12 Paul, of the supplemental is the leasing page. Paul Adornato – BMO Capital Markets: Yes. The broader one says redevelopment and another non-stabilized property 68%?

Right which brings us to the 92% overall. I think what you should be aware of that our big project of course is Pottsgrove and there the pre-leasing for committed leasing is at a level of about 45% with additional LOIs going far beyond that. For our Blue Mountains Commons project of course we have the jointly signed up and a couple of other small ones. Other than that I think that is relatively a little new to report at this point. Paul Adornato – BMO Capital Markets: Okay, would you describe the leasing activity in the pipeline as inline with expectations given the percentage of completion of the projects?

Yes and again in that regard, I appreciate that what we focus on is that supermarket anchor and getting that out of the ground and we generally do not do the small store leasing until we could show substantial progress on the supermarket anchored construction, but for the out parcels we do, do the out parcels. Paul Adornato – BMO Capital Markets: And you reported the same property NOI basis including the development and redevelopment properties. I was wondering, if you were able to exclude that lumpiness, what would the same store numbers look like?

Well, I think we reported Paul, I think it’s about 779,000 decrease in NOI and of that approximately 300,000 is due to the redevelopment properties that are operating, but included in our development pipeline. Paul Adornato – BMO Capital Markets: So even exit that, it would a slight negative on the same-store?

Yes for the items that I mentioned.

And we will take our next question from Philip Martin at Cantor Fitzgerald Philip Martin – Cantor Fitzgerald: First of all Larry on the bad debt expense expectations at 0.6% to 0.7% of revenues; how does that compared to ’06 and ’07?

Well, if you look at ’07 year-to-date, I think we actually had more favorable bad debt experience this year than last year. I think it’s inline with our ’06 and ’07 experience. I’ll just elaborate a little bit; what we have experienced since the middle of last year through maybe the first quarter was some collections from our improved collection activities. I think there was a focus in the middle of last year and I think we did have some recoveries of prior build announce and I think that could explain some of last year’s more favorable results in the second half. Philip Martin – Cantor Fitzgerald: Okay how about in terms of higher percentage of late pays; you have a higher percentage of late pays versus historical average or is that running at above the norms?

No, it’s running above the norm. We take a very formulaic approach in the way we compute our bad debt expense and then we subtract whatever recoveries we get from prior reserved amounts and we have that one large tenant and other than that it’s a number of smaller items that don’t rise to the level of mention. Philip Martin – Cantor Fitzgerald: Okay, okay and Leo on the acquisition front you mentioned certainly that the pension funds are out there and potentially are a competitor for you, but of the acquisitions where you think you have a chance or may likely close, can you give us a characterization of what those acquisitions are like; are they more value added, something that the pension funds may not want to go after, more opportunistic?

No, I think I’m just thinking of some of the stuff that we’re working on. One is where are in existing supermarket and we’re adding the balance of the shopping center, that’s in one of our Virginia properties. We are working on a property that’s close into Baltimore, that supermarket anchored that we’ve been working on for an awfully long time and that has some value added opportunities. We’re working on a couple; one in Maryland on the shore side we’ll say and one in Massachusetts that we contemplate doing in joint venture mode, hopefully with a British group and that’s about it. Philip Martin – Cantor Fitzgerald: And then maybe it’s too early to tell, but are there better opportunities possibly on the value add and redevelopment side just because you’re not competing with pension with funds or money that’s looking for lower risk?

Well as I mentioned we’re looking much more to the opportunities in development rather than redevelopment at the moment, because we think that those are going to be yielding better. The redevelopment stuff is very serendipities. It may come here and there and I think that maybe one of the opportunity areas as the sector becomes more distressed, but again in our Northeast area we’re not seeing that kind of distressed property portfolios and the stuff that we’re seeing is basically mature properties with grosser and development opportunities for ground up here and there especially Maryland, Virginia, Delaware for grossers that are aggressively expanding. Philip Martin – Cantor Fitzgerald: Is it fair to assume that by year-end we can see additions to your development pipeline?

I think you’ll see modest additions, not enormous, but we do contemplate acquiring a tracked in the Greater Allentown area we call it that we believe one of our supermarket tenants will commit to and a couple of smaller properties that are going to be drug store-anchored, a property we’re working on in Virginia that’s again with a supermarket signed lease. Those are the kind of things we contemplate, nothing extraordinary.

And we’ll go next to Michael Bilerman at Citi.

Hey guys this is [Manik] here with Michael and Ambika. Just to follow up on the bad debt, do you have any concerns about other Fitness tenants given that you have to take that charge with the Fitness tenant?

We don’t at this moment. We have of course several L.A Fitness facilities in our portfolio and they seem to be performing very well. The risk maybe to the local operators, we’ve had one in our watch in the New Bedford properties; other than that we don’t see any that might be a problem. Manik – Citigroup: Okay thanks for that. Your development pipeline last quarter you had said there was a $300 million to $400 million with deliveries factoring in the next 18 months to 24 months. This time you kind of shrunk that up and said delivery will be in the 8 months to 17 months and $350 million to $400 million; can you just detail what’s changed?

No all that’s basically happened, the numbers haven’t changed; what’s changed is just the time schedule has accelerated as we’ve gone further into the year, but we do expect for example Blue Mountain comments as an example, the supermarket to be delivered in the early part of that stretch. Manik – Citigroup: And then on your development yields, you guys have been saying 9% to 11%; can you split that up into going-in yield and a more stabilized yield?

No, I mean the thought is that once these projects are stabilized and tenants in occupancy and paying rent, that’s the time at which you basically determine what you’re yield is going to be. So, our going-in yield is when these are stabilized and that’s at this 9% to 11% determination. It’s not necessarily a look back analysis, it’s that moment that they’re all in occupancy and paying rent. Manik – Citigroup: And your delivery timing assumes that same scenario?

Yes. I think there could be a period while we get the last few tenants and that would not be the initial occupancy perhaps when we put a property into service, but we have it yet in the reporting to reflect your question. We had not fine tuned our reporting to reflect the question that you raised. I think I should say at this point. We’re how aware that you and Beaker and Michael on your group and correspondingly a number of other analysts have desired us to publish more information on our development activities to help you. We’ve always said that we wanted to do that and we do still contemplate within the next couple of months issuing at least for the detailing on the project cost by project and the amount of that we have spend on a cash basis by project and we’re just fine tuning those numbers now with considerations such as legal fees etc to be sure we’re giving you right numbers, but we do plan to do that. We do not plan to provide delivery dates faster than on an annualized basis, except in special instances were for example at Blue Mountain Commons, if we deliver the supermarket in X month of ’09 we’ll of course announce that. Manik – Citigroup: Okay, we appreciate that. Are there any contingencies to close the Hamburg JV; anything left for you guys to wrap up or is it just a matter of timing at this point?

At this point its just timing and we contemplate that happening at the end of the fourth quarter, probably the end of November at this point. Manik – Citigroup: Okay and then recently you’ve been added to the S&P 600, would you consider an inclusion for it?

At this moment, we haven’t thought about that, but we learned last time that we were included in the 600 and we’re of course grateful for that, but we’re not contemplating anything other than seeing what happens.

We’ll go next to Nathan Isbee at Stifel Nicolaus. Nathan Isbee – Stifel Nicolaus: Can you give us a sense on that 4Q ’07 lease termination; I know you are talking about a replacement tenant there. How long do you thing it would be until you get somebody in there?

That takes a while, but at this point for example we’re working with that tenant on engineering drawings for the new store and the drive on this side and the parking on that side and where employee parking will be and the relationship with other tenants in the center, those are the kind of things we’re working on right now. So, once the engineering is squared away then I’d assume we move to a lease and then of course we’ve got to get some additional approvals, than we got to get bids out and so forth or at least figure out what the bidding will be to build this thing, so we’re talking six to nine months before we’ve broken ground at this point I imagine and then six months to build the thing. Nathan Isbee – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay and just one last question; the doubtful account, that fitness center, I don’t know if you mentioned this before, I logged in a little late, which property is that in?

Well, the doubtful account is in our Washington Township property in Southern New Jersey and that was a local operator and the one that’s on our watch is in New Bedford Massachusetts. Nathan Isbee – Stifel Nicolaus: Okay, have you reserved anything in Bedford, at all?

Our same formulaic conclusions where if they’re behind by certain date we write it off, but I don’t think they were behind in the second quarter.

Our next question is a follow-up from Michael Bilerman of Citi. Manik – Citigroup: Hi, guys one last question. In terms of percentage runs that were down in the quarter, how should we think about that for the rest of the year and what drove that decrease?

Down in the quarter versus last quarter or versus last year? Manik – Citigroup: Just in generally that was one of the variances you guys kind of gave to why assets in Ohio were down and other things?

Well the percentage rate was down this quarter versus last quarter versus the first quarter, it’s just a seasonal thing. The first quarter of the year is when much of the reporting is made and versus last year’s second quarter there was one tenant who we just had information sooner than we have this year, so we expect to report that tenant later on this year. It was a one single tenant timing issue with respect to last year.

We have no further questions left in the queue.

I think I’d like to leave it at this point. We very much appreciate all of you who have listened in. We value your support where appropriate and we’re going to keep executing our plans. So thank you very, very much and hope to talk to you soon.
