Thank you, Joelle. Good morning, and thank you all for participating in today's call. I'm joined by Michael Denny, our Chief Financial Officer, and Vernon Lobo, our Executive Chairman. After the close of market today, we released our financial results for the quarter. Q2 ended June 30, 2024. Details can be found on our website or as filed on CDER. I will, as usual, try to keep my comments brief. During Q2, we reported another record quarter in terms of recurring revenue going as far back as at least 2018. We transitioned our strategy away from royalties and into growth debt, and we continue to see strong progress. This is the fourth sequential quarter in a row of growth. I will not be going through our full financial statements on this call, but rather I'll focus on a few of the relevant highlights. If you'd like more detail, I encourage you to read our full financial statements. As a quick aside, as I've repeated on almost every call, it's worth noting that our definition of recurring revenue is a non-IFRS metric. For us, recurring revenue means cash revenue generated from our investments. Our total reported revenue under IFRS this quarter was actually $2.1 million in the quarter and $4.11 million for the year. However, IFRS can be slightly distorting and hard to follow as under IFRS changes in the balance sheet need to flow through the income statement, which can lead to things like negative revenue in a quarter making it hard to track our real performance. That's why we talk about recurring revenue and recurring free cash flow, which we believe are better metrics to track. Turning to our results for the quarter, we reported $1.9 million in recurring loan interest income. That's up .7% from Q1 and up .5% from Q2 last year. Book value is at $1.255 per share. That's up .4% over the prior quarter and up 37% over the last two years. We generated just under $300,000 in recurring free cash flow in the quarter and $1.4 million in free cash flow over the last four quarters. I will note that we've now been profitable for 17 quarters in a row. Our total assets were $65.8 million, up 12% over the prior year, and we deployed $29 million in new capital over the last 12 months, which is a 12-month record for us. In fact, we achieved several milestones in the quarter, including record recurring revenue, $1.9 million, record book value per share, $1.255 million, record total assets at $65.8 million, and as I just mentioned, a trailing 12-month deployment record of $29 million. So needless to say, we've had an excellent quarter. Some additional highlights in the quarter included repayment of our pure investment of $4.5 million. That investment had generated a 20% – slightly higher than 20% IRR to date, and we continue to own warrants in that company. We also closed a $5.4 million investment into an excellent SaaS B2B company called GetTable, which is focused on global customer experience improvement. We announced a follow-on investment into Minilux, which is an existing portfolio company, and then after the end of the quarter, we closed a $6.8 million investment in a tech-enabled marketplace for co-living spaces and a $5.4 million investment in a media measurement company – media measurement provider. It's worth noting that for the year, we had targeted to get ourselves to a $10 million revenue run rate in recurring revenue, and currently, including the recent investments, we are over $9 million approaching our target for the year. And given the strength of our pipeline, we feel comfortable that we will be able to hit our target before the end of the year. It's worth noting as well that we have published our IRR performance for the portfolio at a portfolio level for several years now. Our trailing sixth-year IRR, which we press released on June 11th of this year, is over 26%. So we continue to see good performance in our portfolio, and we continue to see good growth in our deal opportunities

our internal target – the space that we participate in is a very large space. The venture debt space has over $30 billion in originations, give or take, in any given year in North America. With $60 million in assets, we're a very small player in this space. However, over the last five years, we've been building the infrastructure to grow our business. We have a fantastic team. We've developed some excellent internal processes, and we're targeting to get our assets up to $100 million, then $250 million, and then $500 million over the next several years. And while I'm not making any forecasts, we feel strongly that that is an achievable target. So all in all, another excellent quarter. Our portfolio continues to perform well. Our team is really gelling, and we feel that we have an excellent future ahead of us. And with that, I'll pause my formal statements, and I'll hand it back to the operator to see if there's any questions.
