"We are very pleased with our results for the first half of 2019. Our portfolio grew to $736.0 million, up from $684.4 million at December 31, 2018, despite slowing real estate market conditions. We are lending defensively to ensure that our loan quality is preserved. For example, the average loan to value in the mortgage portfolio continued to trend downwards and first mortgages now represent 85% of our portfolio. We strengthened our balance sheet during the first half of 2019 with the completion of two successful public offerings; a $34.5 million common share issuance and a $28.8 million convertible debenture issuance, both of which had strong demand," said Rob Goodall, CEO of Atrium.
