Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that statements made during today's conference call may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Safe Harbor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and actual results may differ materially due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors.

Please refer to the documents filed by the company with the SEC. Specifically the most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, on today's call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial information, such as FFO, normalized FFO, and adjusted FFO.

You can find this information together with reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in our earnings release issued yesterday as well as in our 8-K filed with the SEC.

I'll now hand the call over to Alan. Alan?

Alan Gold

Thank you, Brian, and welcome, everyone. We are pleased to report another solid quarter of operations and financial results, especially in the context of ongoing challenges in the macro economy that we are all experiencing. We believe we have positioned ourselves well in this context with one of the strongest and most experienced teams, our real estate professionals, in the cannabis industry, a high quality portfolio and arguably, a conservative and flexible balance sheet.
