Please go ahead, David. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to XS Financial's second quarter 2023 earnings call. We are excited to share our financial results for the quarter with you today. I encourage everyone to visit our website at xsfinancial.com/investors for the most up-to-date corporate presentations, news, and upcoming events. Our financial statements and MD&A for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, have been filed on SEDAR+. We will be taking questions at the end of the call, so please feel free to send in any questions you might have. The second quarter of 2023 was highlighted by record revenue and the continued strong performance of our lease portfolio. We are focused on profitability and risk mitigation, and given the lack of available financing in cannabis and our unique vendor relationships, we are working to maximize returns on new leases. XS has received industry-wide recognition as a better alternative for non-dilutive CapEx and equipment financing and continues its focus on customer expansion and service. While we continue seeing a slowdown in the cannabis market relative to prior years, our pipeline remains active with both existing and prospective customers. Our non-dilutive financing is a welcome solution as equity valuations for plant-touching cannabis companies continue to see challenges. As states expand from medicinal markets to adult use and new states legalize, different capital solutions are being explored from our current partners and new prospects. We believe that our competitive, non-dilutive financing to purchase CapEx and equipment nationwide continues to see a significant runway as one of the only institutional platforms for companies within the cannabis industry, and results to date have solidified that assumption. We have sufficient availability to fund our near to medium-term pipeline under our credit facility with two bank syndication partners, which has a borrowing rate of prime plus 100 basis points and was upsized to $39 million in Q4 2022. We are working to increase our funding availability beyond our current $39 million cap, which will allow XS to address its longer-term objectives into 2024 and beyond. We are proud to be one of the few companies to solidify a credit facility from a commercial bank syndicate in the cannabis industry, which is a testament to our underwriting capabilities, portfolio strength, and employee talent. Our second quarter of 2023 continued our historically strong trends, which delivered increased revenue growth and monthly recurring customer payments. At the end of Q2, we had 209 active lease schedules, compared to 188 as of the end of Q1 2023. Currently active in 15 states, we have achieved broad diversification across several existing markets, and we are ensuring that our infrastructure will support our partners wherever the market is headed. As cultivators, processors, and manufacturers seek out alternative financing solutions, our trustworthy, transparent, and reliable funding for CapEx needs is continually relevant and sought out. With that said, I would now like to turn the call over to Justin Vuong, our CFO, who will provide more detail on our financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. Thank you, David. I will now walk you through the key points of our financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. In Q2, XS Financial delivered another strong quarter. Our revenue was $3 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 80% compared to Q2 2022. Our gross receivables increased to $111 million compared to $72 million a year ago, and we have 209 active leases across 60 customers as of the end of the quarter. Our operating expenses were $1.5 million, compared to $900,000 in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily a result of increases in personnel and contractor costs. Our net loss for Q2 was $1.7 million, or $0.02 per share. Our net distributable earnings, which is a non-IFRS metric we use as a proxy for profitability, was negative $200,000 in the quarter, compared to negative $1.2 million a year ago. You can find a breakdown of that calculation in our earnings press release. As of the end of the quarter, we had $100,000 in cash and $10 million in availability on our line of credit. Combined with our $3 million in monthly receivables, the company has adequate liquidity to fund future leases. With that said, I will turn the call back over to David for closing remarks. Thank you, Justin, for that insightful overview of our financial results. As we reflect on the past year, we are proud of our achievements and the progress we have made in establishing XS Financial as a leader in the CAPEX finance industry. As we look ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our business. We remain focused on executing our growth strategy while maintaining our strong underwriting policies, risk management framework, and commitment to sustainability. I want to thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for their continued support and dedication. We look forward to delivering continued growth and value to all of our stakeholders in the year to come. Thank you all for joining us today. We will now send it back to the operator for questions.
