Cash flow provided by operating activities of $12.3 million increased $1.7 million, or 16%, from the prior period. On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share were 14.5 cents which was a 22% increase from the prior period.

Total revenue of $12.5 million increased 12% - rental revenue increased 10% due to increased guest experience nights and fleet sales revenue increased 17% due to increased sales of guest fleet and fleet inventory available for sale. Operating expenses increased 8%.

At July 31, 2014, investment in guest fleet was $34.1 million, an increase of $12.7 million from April 30, 2014, primarily due to fleet purchases in the first quarter of $13.7 million. Fleet and other financing increased $10.5 million to $37.1 million from April 30, 2014.

The Company’s core business, promoting the opportunity to “experience Canada at your own pace™” through the recreational vehicle experience, is seasonal in nature with the majority of its revenue being earned during the May to October period, the first and second quarters of its fiscal year. The majority of the Company’s cost of services expenses before employee compensation, benefits and depreciation are incurred in that same period.

The Company markets for sale previously guest experienced recreational vehicles and fleet inventory available for sale on a continuous basis throughout the year; however, sales of such units are generally strongest from January to early summer. As a result of ongoing depreciation, interest and other operating expenses, the last two quarters of the fiscal year normally produce operating losses. Losses incurred in the last two quarters may exceed profits earned in the first two quarters of the fiscal year. The financial data included in this release has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, except for the term cash flow from operations per share. Cash flow per share is a measure that provides shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations.
