Net profit attributable to shareholders grew US$1.02 million or 79.6 percent to a record US$2.29 million for the 2021 nine months period, from US$$1.28 million for the nine months to March 2020. For March 2021 quarter, net profit climbed to US$1.03 million from a loss of US$355,800 in 2020.
Weighted Average Fair Value Yield on Portfolio was 11.8 percent in the March quarter, up slightly from 11.3 percent in 2020 but a bit lower than the 12.3 percent generated for the 2020 fiscal year.
Earnings per share amounted to 0.56 US cents for the nine months to March 2021, up from 0.36 US cents for nine months period in 2020. EPS for the March 2021 quarter amounts to 0.20 US cents, from a loss of 0.10 US cents per share for 2020.
Total investment revenues grew an attractive 45 percent to a record US$5.6 million, for the nine months to March, from US$3.88 million earned in the nine months ended March 2020.

Shareholders’ equity stood at $64 million at the end of March, up from $37 million in March 2020. Funds borrowed and used for funding purposes amounted to $19 million, but Jason Morris, a director of the company, states, that they can take the borrowings up to 1.25 times equity, giving them latitude for increased lending to their clients. Morris suggests that the cash on hand of $8.2 million at the end of March would have dwindled by the end of the June year end as they continue to fund new projects and that the pipeline of deals remains robust.
Funds garnered in the public offer that was completed on January 26, was not fully deployed throughout the March quarter, an important factor to consider in assessing the prospects for the June quarter and beyond.

Revenue bounce for Transjamaican Highway
Revenue slipped just five percent to US$12.3 million, at Transjamaican Highway, from US$13 million for the 2020 March quarter, in spite of the continued disruption of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The performance is commendable, viewed against the modest rise the company enjoyed for the 2020 period with two and a half full months of uninterrupted service. The company reports that revenues for March 2021 increased by 5.63 percent over March 2020.
Profit before tax ended at US$600,000, up from a loss of US$1.5 million for the same period in 2020. The company had other income of half a million US dollars, primarily due to the exchange gains.
Operating expenses fell by US$0.5 million to US$8.1 million, from US$8.6 million in 2020, primarily due to lower amortization of the intangibles, offset by increases in insurance cost and the Operator’s fixed fee. Administrative expenses remained low at just US$270,000, compared to US$310,000 for the 2020 period, primarily due to reduced travel and accommodation costs resulting from the COVID-19 restrictions.
Finance costs dropped US$1.8 million to US$3.8 million from US$5.6 million in 2020. This decrease resulted from Interest payments made only on the Secured Notes and the 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares during the 2021first quarter as versus 2020 when interest was paid on the short-term bridge facilities which were repaid during the first quarter to March 2020, from proceeds of the secured notes.
Gross cash flow brought in US$3.4 million in the quarter, while Shareholders’ Equity ended at US$58 million, with the net asset value at J$0.70, down from US$68 million for March 2020. Borrowed funds stood at US$245 million at the end of the period, but free cash amounts to just $$2.5 million. Current Liabilities ended the quarter at US$12.7 million with Current assets at $3.7 million.
The company seems set to generate revenues in the US$50 region for the current year with profit ending around the US$2 million or 2.5 cents Jamaican per share, putting PE ratio at 44 times 2021 earnings with the stock trading at $1.33 on the Jamaica Stock Exchange Main Market. It won’t be until 2022 that revenues will be back on track so that profits will reach a level to justify the current stock as being reasonably priced.
