Net Loss / Adjusted EBIDTA
The Company had net income of ($104,462) for Q2, 2017 as compared to net income of ($133,108) in Q1, 2017. The decrease in net loss was due to the increased revenue during the period offset primarily by increased interest expense on the Company’s debentures outstanding and increased share based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA[1] improved to $74,038 in Q2, 2017 from $4,138 in Q1, 2017 as a result of increased revenue and consistent quarter over quarter cash based operating expenses.
Total Payments Received from Investee Companies
Total payments received from investee companies are a key measure of the Company’s progress as these payments are tied to the revenue of the underlying investee companies. These payments comprise both interest and principal repayments, and for Q2 2017 these payments totalled $247,103 vs $226,268 in Q1, 2017. This represents an increase of 9.2% quarter over quarter.
All investee companies are current in their payments.
