As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, David Gladstone, Chief Executive Officer. Please proceed.

Well, thank you, LaTanya. Again, you do a nice introduction, and we thank all of you for calling in this morning to hear what we've been doing. We enjoy the time we have with you and wish we had a lot more time to talk back and forth, but we don't. First, we're going to hear from Eric Hemel, and he's our Deputy General Counsel, to give you the legal and regulatory matters concerning the call and report today. Eric, go to it.

Thank you, and good morning. Today's report may include forward-looking statements under the Securities Act of 1933 and the 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 material different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. including all risk factors in our Forms 10Q, 10K, and other documents we file with the SEC. Those can be found on our website, www.gladsnowcommercial.com, specifically the Investors section, or on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. 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. Today we will discuss FFO, which is funds from operations. 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 is generally FFO adjusted for certain other non-recurring revenues and expenses. We believe these metrics are a better indication of our operating results and allow better comparability of our period-over-period performance. Please visit our website, www.gladstonecommercial.com, and sign up for our email notification service. You can also find us on Facebook, keyword Gladstone Companies, and Twitter, at Gladstone Comms. Today's call is an overview of our results, so I ask that you review our press release and form 10-Q issued yesterday for more detailed information. Now I'll turn it over to Gladstone Commercial's president, Buzz Cooper.
