Quinsam Reports Record Portfolio Value for August 2014 and Profitable Q2 Financial Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 4, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY ANY UNITED STATES NEWS DISTRIBUTION

Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") today provided an update on activities for August 2014.

Quinsam added several new positions in August.

We completed the purchase of shares in Patient Home Monitoring Corp. (PHM), Northern Frontier Corp. (FFF) and VRX Worldwide Inc. (VRW) in August.

PHM has been growing its recurring-revenue health care business through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth. We were very pleased to see PHM complete a debenture issue in August, which should allow it to continue with its demonstrated acquisition strategy with less dilution than in the past.

We bought shares of FFF on its recent new issue, which was completed to fund what we saw as an attractive acquisition. This purchase concurrently added to our warrant portfolio. The new issue was priced at a steep discount to its recent trading history due to operational challenges. We feel that the operational challenges were more than fairly priced into our share purchase price. There is considerable upside here in our opinion if operations improve as we expect.

VRW is a small company with an interesting new software product that companies can use to manage their digital assets. VRW announced the sale of its legacy business last week. We saw the sale of the legacy business as a very positive development and it pushes the enterprise value attached to its new business to a very modest level.

As previously reported, we made two opportunistic new issue purchases in July. We sold the last of these investments in August, also at a profit that was in line with our expectations at the time of purchase.

Quinsam would also like to point out to its investors that one of its larger holdings, Enerdynamic Hybrid Technologies, is expected to commence trading in the coming days. Quinsam holds 600,000 Enerdynamic common shares and 600,000 warrants exercisable to purchase common shares at $0.50. Our cost price was $0.25 as was our carrying value at the end of August. The company raised significant funds after our investment that automatically converts to common shares at $0.50 on listing. Accordingly, we are hopeful that the shares will open for trading at over our $0.25 carrying value.

Performance Update

Quinsam would also like to take this opportunity to update investors on the Company's recent performance.

The Company closed the month with a total portfolio of $1.9 million. As at the end of the preceding month, the unaudited total value of the Quinsam's cash and equity investments was approximately $1.8 million.

An important component of our business strategy is the accumulation of purchase warrants at little or no cost. We are pleased to report Quinsam now holds approximately 2 million warrants with an aggregate basic exercise value of approximately $1.1 million. The exercise value is not an indication of the economic value of the warrants; we provide it to investors so they can understand the amount of upside leverage that we are accumulating through our warrant portfolio. We value unlisted warrants at intrinsic value, which we see as being a conservative approach; the great majority of our warrants have no carrying value on our balance sheet.

Q2 Results

Quinsam released its results for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 last week. In the second quarter, the company reported net income of $62,276 ($0.005 per share) versus a loss of $2,327 ($0.00 per share) in the comparable quarter in the preceding year. This brings EPS year-to-date to $167,154 ($0.01 per share) versus a loss of $8,347 ($0.00 per share) in the comparable period in the preceding year.
