We have seen a jump in referred business from our existing network of clients as we continue to broaden our marketing presence to attract new business.

Detailed Financial Review
During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company continued to grow its revenue-financing (“RF”) business by completing 9 RF investments as well as successfully exiting 1 investment from its loan portfolio. The Company’s revenue is primarily interest income generated under the Company’s RF model. Interest income in the year ended November 30, 2019 was a record $3,046,608 compared to $1,521,999 in the prior fiscal year.
The 100% increase in interest income is driven from two sources:
- As the Company makes new investments, the number of monthly payments derived from the portfolio grows.
- Under the RF structure, as the revenue of the underlying portfolio grows, the investees make larger blended interest and principal payments to the Company.
Income from transaction and other fees was $241,655 in the year ended November 30, 2019 compared to $216,240 in the prior fiscal year, resulting in a record total revenue of $3,288,263.
TIMIA continues to build the value and size of its portfolio by making new investments and follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies, and actively assisting in their growth plans. Furthermore, management expects the payment amounts to increase over time as both new and follow-on investments are made and as payments increase from the underlying portfolio. During the year ended November 30, 2019, TIMIA benefited from increased payments (combined principal and interest) as a result of the strong revenue growth of its underlying portfolio. At the same time, the Company increased its investments in infrastructure, including key staff and brand awareness.
Total expenses for the year ended November 30, 2019 were $3,461,837 compared with $2,873,167 for the prior year. The increase in expenses reflect TIMIA’s investment in infrastructure, increase in interest expense resulting from the issuance of debentures with warrants, marketing and related deal origination expenses and brand awareness.
During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company posted net loss of $1,087,567 compared with net income of $18,838 for the last fiscal year. The year over year change is primarily due to the Company recognizing intermittent investment gains from loan buyouts of $1,582,906 in 2018 but no material gains in 2019.
As at November 30, 2019, the Company’s cash balance was $4,662,156 and working capital was $4,571,341 compared to $3,749,949 and $3,614,268 respectively as at November 30, 2018.

Higher gold market pricing and foreign circulation volumes combined with lower fixed costs were the main drivers for the quarter over quarter increase.

The Mint expects to meet its financial goals for 2024, as set out in its 2024-2028 Corporate Plan, the Mint’s Leadership team continues to actively monitor its status.
- Consolidated revenue decreased to $252.7 million in 2024 (2023 – $360.6 million).
Revenue from the Precious Metals business decreased to $217.6 million in 2024
(2023 – $328.4 million):- Gold bullion volumes decreased 38% quarter over quarter to 106.1 thousand ounces (2023 – 170.1 thousand ounces) while silver bullion volumes decreased 20% to 2.7 million ounces (2023 – 3.4 million ounces).
- Gold and silver market prices increased quarter over quarter by 27% and 23%, respectively.
- Sales of numismatic products decreased 12% quarter over quarter mainly due to the high demand in 2023 for the Queen Elizabeth II’s Reign products.
- Revenue from the Circulation business increased to $35.1 million in 2024
(2023 – $32.2 million):- Revenue from the Foreign Circulation business increased 77% quarter over quarter, a reflection of higher volumes produced and shipped in 2024 as compared to 2023.
- Revenue from Canadian coin circulation products and services decreased 12% quarter over quarter as fewer coins were required to replenish inventories, combined with lower program fees in accordance with the memorandum of understanding with the Department of Finance.
- Overall, operating expenses decreased 27% quarter over quarter to $28.3 million (2023 – $36.0 million) mainly due to planned reductions in consulting and workforce expenses.
