Solution Financial Reports Q2 2019 Financial Results

Solution Financial Inc. (TSXV:SFI) (the “Company”) a leading provider of luxury automotive and yacht leasing in British Columbia, today announced its financial results for the quarter ending April 30, 2019.

Earning Highlights for the Quarter

– Operating lease revenues grew 11% from last quarter to a record $1,343,754.

– Operating lease asset portfolio grew 13% to $16.4 Million.

– Gross in house, brokering and sales transactions of $7.7 Million for the quarter

– Net book value per share steadily at $0.12 per share.

– Secured $7.5 Million in Lease Line facility at prime plus 1.2%

“The second quarter of 2019 saw a dip in total leasing and sales transactions with the average monthly volumes dropping to $2.5 Million compared to last quarter’s $3.3 Million monthly average. The winter and early spring can be a bit slower for luxury vehicle leasing, but we’d also welcome less political tension between China and Canada,” said Bryan Pang, Solution’s CEO. “We are confident that Canada will remain an attractive location for Asian immigrants and international students and we’re continuing our efforts to expand into other Canadian markets where we see suitable demand for our flexible asset-based leasing model. Also securing the $7.5 Million in Leasing facility was fantastic news and gives us a solid foundation to continue growing our in-house lease portfolio. Our goal is to get our lease portfolio to $20 Million by the end of this fiscal year,” concluded Bryan Pang.

Solution is reporting a net income of $2,943, or $0.000, per share for the second quarter of 2019. This compares to net income of $95,952, or $0.002 per share for the same period in 2018.
