(Burlington, ON) Tempus Capital Inc. (“Tempus” or the “Company”) announces that it has filed its audited consolidated financial statements and related MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2019. Tempus reports that total assets have increased from $12,078,962 to $12,341,545, net income and comprehensive income has increased to $106,461 compared to $26,137 in the prior year and total equity has increased by $132,672 to $4,144,165 ($0.14 per share).
The Company had previously announced in a press release dated April 27, 2020 that due to logistics and delays caused by the COVID-19 virus, the Company was relying on the exemption provided in Ontario Instrument 51-502 (Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements) of the Ontario Securities Commission (and similar exemptions provided by the securities commissions in British Columbia, Alberta) to postpone the filing of its annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2019, as required by Section 4.2 of National Instrument 51-102 (Continuous Disclosure Obligations), and its related management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended Dec. 31, 2019, as required by Section 5.1(2) of NI 51-102 (the “Annual Documents”).
Since December 31, 2019, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada, businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Global stock markets have also experienced great volatility and a significant weakening. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions.
The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of these consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and
results of the Company for future periods.
As at May 19, 2020, the Company has arranged for a limited deferral of mortgage payments of $51,000 and has provided rental relief to tenants totaling $28,750 in exchange for an extension of lease, and rent deferral to tenants totaling $17,600. The Company has not experienced a material loss in rental revenue or cash from operations.
