Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 26, 2022) - Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE: QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") is announcing its Q2/2022 results, with a net loss of $4.6 million for the quarter ($0.05 per share basic, $0.05 fully diluted) versus a net loss of $0.8 million ($0.01 per share basic, $0.01 fully diluted) in Q2/2021.

"At June 30, 2022, we had net assets (pro forma based on the July 5, 2022 cancellation of shares repurchased in the quarter pursuant to the Company's normal course issuer bid) of approximately $0.24 per share outstanding," said Roger Dent, CEO. "Our shares continue to trade at a very steep discount of over 50% from NAV."

Recent Activity

Small cap market conditions continued to be extremely difficult in Q2/2022. Supply chain issues and fears of higher rates, inflation and recession had a particularly pronounced impact on small cap stocks.

Quinsam took a very cautious stance in the second quarter, making only one new investment, which was an addition to our holding in Saturn Oil & Gas. Saturn reported excellent results last week and currently trades at well below 1.5x run rate cash flow.

In Q2/2022, our largest investee, a cannabis operation in Guelph (Med Compassion Cannabis Farms/251 Massey Road) completed a major refinancing. As a result, we received over $1.5 million in principal, interest and fees from this investee.

In light of market conditions, Quinsam elected to write down its private equity investments by 15% in Q2/2022 with a limited group of exceptions.

Given prevailing market conditions, the timing of future liquidity events is difficult to predict. Companies were reluctant or unable to trigger liquidity events in Q2 and this situation has continued due to volatile market conditions. That being said, we expect markets to adopt a more normal tone after Labour Day. We are still expecting liquidity events in the coming months from numerous issuers including Silver Eagle, Gefion, Above Food, Forrest Innovations, Pfane, Zodiac Gold, Electro Metals & Mining and Chargerquest. Given recent market conditions, we are obviously cautious in our outlook.

As we head into the end of the year, Quinsam intends where possible to trigger tax losses in order to recover cash taxes paid in 2019 and 2021.

Issuer Bid

In Q2/2022, Quinsam acquired 1,711,000 shares pursuant to its issuer bid to acquire up to 5,174,605 shares that commenced on August 31, 2021 and will terminate on August 30, 2022. To date the Company has acquired 5,160,000 shares pursuant to this issuer bid. Quinsam has now repurchased and cancelled over 20 million shares since 2018 pursuant to its issuer bids, resulting in significant NAV per share accretion for remaining shareholders.

Quinsam wishes to announce a new issuer bid to purchase up to 4,916,605 of its common shares (the "Bid"). The Company is commencing the Bid because it believes that the current market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and future prospects. The Company believes that the repurchase of its common shares for cancellation is in the best interests of its shareholders because the Bid will increase the respective proportionate shareholdings and equity interests of all remaining shareholders. The Company will commence the Bid on September 6, 2022. The Bid will terminate on September 5, 2023, or on an earlier date in the event that the number of common shares sought in the Bid has been repurchased. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Bid earlier if it feels that it is appropriate to do so. All common shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"), and payment for the common shares will be made in accordance with CSE policies. The price paid for the common shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. Purchases may be suspended at any time, and no purchases will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the term of the Bid. The Company has engaged M Partners to act as the broker through which the Bid will be conducted.
