Thanks, Bob, and good morning, everyone. As of June 30, 2018, Omega had an operating asset portfolio of 923 facilities with approximately 93,000 operating beds. These facilities were spread across 67 third-party operators and located within 40 states in the United Kingdom. Trailing 12-month operator EBITDARM and EBITDAR coverage for our core portfolio was slightly down during the first quarter of 2018 at 1.69 and 1.33 times respectively versus 1.71 and 1.34 times respectively for the trailing 12-months period ending December 31, 2017. Turning to portfolio matters. In addition to the Orianna situation, which Taylor spoke about earlier and as we have discussed on previous calls, one of our non-top 10 operators, Preferred Care filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy as a result of the $28 million Jury Award in the State of Kentucky. While it maybe has no exposure of Preferred Care in Kentucky, we currently leased 14 facilities to their subsidiaries in New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma all of which are in the process of being transitioned to new operators per Omega's agreement with Preferred Care. Two facilities in Texas, previously leased to Preferred Care, transitioned to an existing Omega operator effective June 1st of this year. Omega expects the remaining 14 facilities to be re-leased during the fourth quarter of 2018. In previous calls, we have discussed our restructuring agreements with both Signature and Daybreak. As an update, Omega is pleased to report that both our operators are fully compliant with their respective restructuring agreements, and operational performance is in line with or exceeding budgeted levels. At this time, we have no other material restructuring agreements in process. Turning to new investments. During the second quarter of 2018, Omega completed three separate transactions totaling $77 million plus an additional $54 million in capital expenditures. The transactions included the purchase lease of five skilled nursing facilities in Texas for $23 million, $44 million mortgage loan for five skilled nursing facilities in Michigan and a $10 million mezzanine loan. All of the transactions are with existing Omega operators. These transactions bring our year-to-date investment total through June 30, to approximately $200 million, including capital expenditures. Turning to Omega's repositioning activities. During the second quarter of 2018, Omega sold 47 facilities for approximately $216 million with an additional five facilities sold so far in the third quarter of 2018. This brings the year-to-date dispositions to 69 facilities inclusive of three mortgage loan payoffs for total proceeds of approximately $335 million. In addition to facility sales, Omega has re-leased 43 facilities year-to-date, which included the 12 Mississippi facilities mentioned earlier by Taylor. We are currently evaluating approximately 15 additional facilities to sell and 28 facilities to re-lease in the coming quarters. Omega continues to review our portfolio and discuss strategic repositioning opportunities with each of our operators. I will now turn the call over to Steven.
