Gordon Reykdal
CEO
"Rentcash is encouraged by the continuing demand for our
products and services. Our Cash Stores have become neighbourhood
assets fulfilling a need in the marketplace that has been
abandoned by conventional financial institutions. During the
second quarter, 15 Cash Stores were opened. Our results include
the write-off of all of the start-up costs and losses associated
with the launch of these 15 stores."
Reykdal also noted that 7 stores would be opened in the third
quarter of the Company's new fiscal year.
Rentcash Inc. operates under two store banners: The Cash
Store and Insta-rent. The Cash Store acts as broker to
facilitate payday cash advance services to income earning
consumers. Instarent rents brand name furniture,
appliances, electronics and computers, with or without an option
to purchase.
The Company's overall store count as of December 31, 2002 stood
at 44 stores, comprised of 38 Cash Stores and 8 Insta-rent
outlets. The Company employs 156 people with its head office
located in Edmonton, Alberta.
