VANCOUVER, BC – TIMIA Capital Corporation (TSX-V:TCA) (“TIMIA” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide this operational update for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2017.
Portfolio
As previously disclosed, TIMIA entered into a new revenue finance agreement with Beanworks Solutions Inc. (“Beanworks”) and exited its investment in Lambda Solutions Inc. (“Lambda”).
TIMIA committed $2,000,000 to Beanworks at the beginning of Quarter 3 and has disbursed a total of $850,000 to date. In August, 2017, Lambda exercised the buyout provision of its financing agreement. Total payments received from Lambda were $823,000 over the life of the $600,000 investment.
As at August 31, 2017, the Company’s cumulative funding commitments[1] are $6,250,000 and cumulative funding disbursements[2] made as at August 31, 2017 are $4,150,000.

These blended payments totalled $270,000 during the quarter ended August 31, 2017, representing the largest quarter to date for payments received. These payments do not include the buyout payments received from Lambda.
The growth of these payments over time supports our unique and active financing model, targeting private recurring revenue software companies, and tying our repayment to the revenue growth of those companies.
