Input Capital Corp. Monthly Update - November 2013

REGINA, Dec. 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input") (TSX Venture Exchange: INP) is releasing its monthly update for November 2013 summarizing canola deliveries and the acquisition of new multi-year canola streams.

Input owns a portfolio of ten multi-year canola streams from which it expects to receive 17,152 base Metric Tonnes ("tonnes" or "MT") of canola at an average cost of $79.05 per tonne. As these tonnes are delivered to Input, Input sells them at market prices. Through the end of November, Input has received delivery of 2,198 tonnes of canola, or 12.8% of anticipated FY2014 production, at an average realized price of $474 per tonne for the current year-to-date. These deliveries have pushed Input's revenues beyond $1 million for the current fiscal year.

Input is also eligible to purchase bonus tonnes from its farmer partners when crop yields are above historical averages. Bonus tonnes consist of 15% of any yield over 30 bushels per acre, and are purchased for the same average price of $79.05 per tonne.

"We are pleased to have surpassed the one million dollar revenue mark so soon," said President and CEO Doug Emsley. "As expected, our canola is being delivered into the country elevator network by our farmer partners and we will continue to generate revenue throughout our third and fourth quarters. The probability of receiving bonus tonnes in our first fiscal year shows the upside in our business and we look forward to our internally-generated free cash flow being put back to work into new streaming contracts this year."
