REGINA, Jan. 6, 2015 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input") (TSX Venture: INP) (US: INPCF), is releasing its quarterly operations update for Q3 of its 2015 fiscal year, which provides a summary of capital deployed in the acquisition of new multi-year canola streams and a preliminary summary of quarterly canola deliveries for the quarter ending December 31, 2014. The final accounting of quarterly results will be published in Input's Q3 financial statements and MD&A when these are finalized and filed in due course.
$16.9 Million Deployed into 26 New Canola Streams
During the quarter, Input entered into twenty six canola streaming contracts in Saskatchewan andManitoba for total up-front payments of $16.9 million. As a result, Input has more than doubled its total number of canola streams in the last three months, and has successfully expanded into Manitoba, further diversifying the Company's geographic footprint.
Twenty two of these newly announced contracts are with new farm partners, and four are with repeat customers whose farming operations have already experienced some of the benefits of canola streaming. Twenty five of the new streaming contracts are with farmers based in Saskatchewan, and one is inManitoba.
"Our fall marketing and farmer awareness program is paying off," said Mr. Emsley. "Our Regional Account Managers are busy attending trade shows, fielding calls, and meeting with prospective new customers. Not only has this built a very strong pipeline of prospective streaming contracts, but it has resulted in very significant deal completion in the last quarter. Many of our new farm partners were able to take advantage of year-end discounts on seed and fertilizer purchases almost immediately after receiving their upfront payments."
These newly announced investments bring Input's total capital deployment to date to $59.8 million in canola streaming contracts with a total of forty two farmers.
