TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Penfold Capital Acquisition IV Corporation (the "Company") (TSXV: SEL), has released its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and the related management's discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations ("MD&A").

Effective May 8, 2013 the Company completed the reverse takeover ("RTO") of SLM Logistics Corporation ("SLM") and the current year results as well as prior period comparative information reflects the results of SLM as it is the continuing entity for accounting purposes.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 the Company had revenues of $2,447,000, a 3% increase over the $2,367,000 in the same period last year.  The Company lost $185,000 or $0.01 per share compared with net income of $118,000 or $0.00 in the previous year, however, the current year expenses include $321,000 in RTO costs that were not incurred last year as well as non-cash costs for stock-based compensation of $8,000.  Excluding these items the company would have earned $144,000 in pre-tax income, an 8% increase compared to the same period last year.

"We are already starting to see the benefits of our decision to go public with the acquisition of RL Marketplace announced subsequent to the quarter end", said Vito Buffone, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We are working on several internal and external growth initiatives and look forward to reporting these results in the coming quarters."
