Flow Capital Corp. announced that it will record a $2,000,000 write-down charge on the company's investment in Solar Brokers Canada Corp. and its affiliate Green Lion Eco Group Corp. during the three-month period ending December 31, 2018. The company decided to record the charge due to the recent difficulties experienced by the residential solar industry in Canada and management's view that Solar Brokers does not have the ability to meet its payment obligations. After this charge, the book value of Flow's investment of $2,500,000 in Solar Brokers made up of a royalty, a secured line of credit and shares, is zero. The investment represents less than 4.5% of Flow's total assets. While the company conducts extensive due diligence on prospective investee companies, it expects to incur losses from time to time given the inherent risk of high return potential emerging growth companies.
