Effective February 2013, Currency Exchange International, Corp. changed its fiscal year end to October 31, 2013 to conform with the same change in fiscal year end made by its wholly owned subsidiary corporation, Currency Exchange International of Canada Corp.

As a result, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the MD&A are presented as the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Financial Highlights for the Three-Month Period Ended January 31, 2014 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2012:

  • $80,000 for the three-months ended December 31, 2012.  The increase in net income was due primarily to a $575,000 increase in net operating income;
  • The Company added two new retail branch locations in Florida and Virginia; and
  • As  of  January  31,  2014,  the  Company  has  added  115  new  clients  representing approximately 3,100 locations since December 31, 2012.
