Thank you and good morning. My name is Len Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer of Greenlight Re. Thank you for taking the time to join us today. The second quarter of 2009 showed what our differentiated business model is capable of producing. We increased our fully diluted book value per share by almost 18% in the quarter and by more than 23% for the year-to-date. We continued to make great strides on our underwriting portfolio and generated strong investment returns with conservative, defensively positioned asset portfolio. Our underwriting portfolio performed better than expected. The small catastrophe loss that we booked during the first quarter was reversed as updated claim estimates have been lower than initially expected. Our gross written premium increased 176% in the second quarter versus the same period a year ago and is up 48% for the first six months versus the comparable period in 2008. Our earned premium increased 100% in the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2008 and is up 83% for the first six months of 2009 over the same period in 2008. The entire insurance market place seems to be waiting for significant turn in the market. We continued to see meaningful price increases in catastrophe retrocessional and employer staff loss business. Across the rest of the portfolio, a number of our clients are seeing reduction in competition, resulting in better premium opportunities and what we believe is good economic pricing. This is a reversal of the trend we had seen in the second quarter of 2008, when we reported relatively small premium numbers as many of our clients were reducing their portfolios in difficult underwriting environments protecting both their capital and ours. We are also seeing increased opportunity in the premium intensive frequency business that we find attractive for our portfolio. We…

Thanks, Len and thanks everyone for joining us today. In the second quarter, Greenlight Re’s investment portfolio was up 13.9% bringing the year-to-date net returns to 19.1% in the investment portfolio. Coupled with our July result the 3%, I am pleased to report to our shareholders that we have fully recovered the 2008 investment portfolio loss. In contrast to the first quarter return, where all the return came up from our short portfolio, all of the return in the second quarter came from the loan side of the portfolio, which was up 30% gross in the quarter. On the loan side about three quarters of the return came from equity loans and a quarter came from debt instruments. In short, equity portfolio loss 14% in the quarter primarily from our short financial exposure. The largest winner in the quarter was the Ford Motor company debt position, we mentioned on our last call, is one of the positions we are adding to opportunistically in February at this year. Most of our losses in 2008 came from the loan side of our portfolio, where a number of holdings are more than the market. Our next three equity loan winners after Ford debt in the second quarter were three of our four biggest losers in 2008. Essentially, the only decision we made regarding in securities was not to sell them at prices that we didn’t believe made sense. Hence we were able to recover some of our losses on these positions that we believed had over shocked to the down side. One of the benefits in mark-to-market accounting is that we don’t get to make a subjective determination with the losses are well temporary. We simply recognize them on our books and if we are right and the market is wrong, sooner or…

Thanks, David. I am pleased to report that we continue to progress in our underwriting business during the quarter. In the last question, we reported a $3.6 million catastrophe loss on an aggregate catastrophe retrocessional contract underwritten in 2008. We sold the cover to client that protects them from multiple large events affecting their capital in a given year by protecting the deductible they keep on the traditional catastrophe programs. As the beginning of the first quarter, the ceded losses under the contract related primarily to hurricanes Ike and Gustav were below our retention. During the first quarter, the client reported a significant loss due to a snowstorm in the UK and now in the second quarter, the subsequent development of some of those losses is less than originally expected, essentially reversing the loss booked in the first quarter. This account did not renew with us in its current form and we are still discussing possible structures for the 2009-2010. As a result, our maximum catastrophe exposure to anyone event has dropped from $84.4 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $60.4 million in the second quarter. While our aggregate maximum exposure for all catastrophic events has dropped from $106.9 million to $75.4 million. As Lenny mentioned, our clients by and large have been able to find more profitable opportunities in their respected markets in 2009 than in 2008. We were very pleased in 2008, when our clients reduced their ratings to protect their capital and ours. We are more pleased that they are finding the right sort of opportunities in 2009. These increasing opportunities with our current clients as well as the success the some of our strategic investments are the drivers behind a large premium growth we have experienced for the quarter and six months as compared…

Thanks, Bart. Greenlight Re reported net income of $92.2 million for the second quarter compared to net income of $33.5 million for the comparable period in 2008. On a fully diluted per share basis, the net income was $2.51 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $0.91 per share for the second quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income was a $120 million compared to $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. On a fully diluted per share basis, net income was $3.29 per share compared to $0.78 for the comparable period in 2008. Our second quarter 2009 results reflect the positive impact of the quarter share frequency business we have reported. Net premiums written and earned are substantially higher than in comparable periods in 2008. Net earned premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $95.5 million, an increase of 83% over the same period in 2008. The composite ratio for our frequency business for the first six months of 2009 was 97.6% and it was 55.5% for severity business, resulting in an overall composite ratio of 86.5%. Internal expenses were 10.2% of net premiums earned for the first six months of 2009, as compared to 14.7% reported for the comparable period of 2008, resulting in a combined ratio of 96.7% for the first half of 2009. We reported net investment income of $88.3 million during the second quarter of 2009 reflecting a net return of 13.9% on our investment account. We reported net investment income of $116 million during the first six months of 2009 reflecting a net investment return of 19.1%. On July 22nd of this year, we reported that we have established a third letter of credit facility. This is a $50 million committed facility with Bank of America. Greenlight Re now has access to $475 million of collateral in the form of letters of credit, which will enable us to continue to execute the underwriting plan we have developed. Fully diluted book value per share increased 17.4% in the second quarter. For the 12 months ended June 30, 2009 fully diluted book value per share decreased by 4.3% to $16.73 from $17.49 at June 30, 2008. I will now turn the call back over to Lenny, who will provide some concluding remarks.

Thanks, Tim. The Greenlight Re strategy was created to enable our company to achieve sustainable advantage in all markets. However, we believe our results in the second quarter of 2009 have shown exactly how powerful our strategy can be. We were judicious in keeping our powder dry in 2007 and 2008. As a result, we believe we are one of the only reinsurance companies with the flexibility to write the multiple of our current premium so that markets continue to improve. Our profitable growth in 2009 is proved positive of this strategy and our under leverage balance sheet continues to provide the financial strength that our clients require. On the investment side, our strong performance and the absence of outsize risk on individual positions underlines the strength of our deep value investment strategy. We will continue to execute our strategy to earn above average, risk adjusted returns by actively managing both sides of our balance sheet. We appreciate your continued confidence in Greenlight Re. Thank you again for your time and now we would like to open the call up to questions.

(Operator Instructions). Our first question comes from [Mike Zuranski] of Credit Suisse. Please go ahead.

On underwriting are the homeowner premiums from Florida coming from an MD agreements and I guess what we think about Florida exposure ramping up given Bart Hedges prepared remarks. I have a couple of other questions too.

The homeowners account is traditional contract with an insurance company and the State of Florida.

Going forward, I guess you guys were thinking Florida is going to continue being a significant source of premiums?

Mike as Bart mentioned, we had done a similar transaction a few years back, which turned out to be quite successful for us and we think we’ve learned a bit about the Florida market. I think we were able to use our knowledge to create what was a very good deal. I think for the client and for us.

On the investment portfolio, I know the big exposure is Ford debt, which I assume is yielding double-digit returns in terms of the interest payment. I guess all in, can you guys give us a sense for what the fixed income portfolio the lock in yields off?

Yes. This is David. I don't know that we've really ever calculated it that way. I think when we were buying debt portfolio between October and March and so forth. I don't know what the aggregate was, but I suspect that the average was really quite substantial. Since then there has been substantial capital gain out of the portfolio on unrealized capital gain. I'm sure the yields are lot less to maturity than the prices that we paid. Although I would imagine that they would still be well in the double-digits, even with the appreciation.

In duration wise, you guys look in to whole year the fixed income assets, most likely?

No, we look at each asset on its own and there are some that we'll sell and there are some that we'll keep. Some of them won't be even turn out to be either because some of the situations in the portfolio probably aren't going to repay at maturity. They weren't bought on that basis. They were bought some of them more as workouts and as existing our future bankruptcies, where we may windup receiving equity or other types of securities.

Last question, could you comment on the shelf registration that's the [$200] million shelf, you guys filed with SEC.

Sure, Mike. We have no specific plans to use the shelf. What we think is prudent capital management should they need them rise over the next 36 months.

(Operator Instructions). At this time we have no more questions.
