And thank you, Paul, and thanks to all these nice people who are coming in to this call. We enjoy the time that we have with all of you and wish we had many more times to spend with you. We're going to start off, of course, with Michael LaCalce. He's our general counsel and secretary. He gives us a legal warning. So, Michael, go ahead.

Thanks, David. Good morning, everybody. Today's report makes good forward-looking statements on the Securities Act of 1933. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding our future performance. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based upon our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. Many factors may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including all risk factors listed on our Forms 10Q, 10K, other documents we file with the SEC, and you can find them on our website. That's gladstonecommercial.com. specifically the investors page, you can always go to the SEC's website as well, and that's sec.gov. And we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. And today we will discuss FFO, which is funds from operations. Now, FFO is a non-GAAP accounting term defined as net income, excluding the gains or losses from the sale of real estate, and any impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We'll also discuss core FFO, which generally adjusts FFO for certain other non-recurring revenues and expenses. And we believe these metrics are a better indication of our operating results and allow better comparability of our period-over-period performance.
