Thank you Doris and good morning everyone. Thank you for taking the time to join our Q2 conference call. We are pleased to report another strong quarter with stable financial and operating results. Our business model and disciplined approach to financial management has positioned us well throughout the pandemic. In addition to our strong results, we're advancing our development program, driving meaningful net asset value appreciation to our existing portfolio and improving our balance sheet. I'll provide an update on our development program shortly, but first, Mary will provide you with an update on our financial results for the second quarter. Mary.
