NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

BOCA RATON, Fla., July 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspira Financial Inc. (“Inspira” or the “Company”) (TSXV:LND), today posted its financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2018.

“Our main goal for the past fiscal year, especially toward the tail end of the year, was to collect our outstanding loans,” said Chairman Dr. Jaime Gerber. “Turning these loans to cash creates more opportunities for our shareholders I believe. Our financial statements reflect that decision in a pretty dramatic way, specifically in the account called Provisions for Loss on Credit Receivables. In order to collect the loans, we generally notice the borrower, forcing them to either pay the loan through alternative financing or on a payment plan that may take perhaps over a year to complete. Once the borrower is targeted for repayment, under most circumstances, we provision the loan for loss as required by accounting policy. However, this does not necessarily mean the cash won’t be collected – it is simply an accounting standard. In fact, since the end of the audit, where we provisioned for loss a total of $6,486,857 – a huge portion of the loss for the year, we have collected $1,290,978 of principal, interest, and fees for those loans so far just during the period of March 1st through June 30^th of 2018.”

“We are working to collect additional principal, interest and fees from loans we have provisioned for loss as we have the most senior security on the borrower’s assets,” continued Dr. Gerber. “Of the total principal amount outstanding, today we deem $138,478 as uncollectible. As for the rest of the balance, we are working to collect the loans. It is difficult to predict how much we will collect or the cost of collections. We will keep shareholders up to date as each quarter passes.”

Management’s current categorization of its total outstanding credit receivables, as of February 28, 2017:

“We remain focused on selling the billing business and finding a transaction to leverage our cash on hand, as well as the cash we may collect on the loan book,” continued Dr. Gerber. “We will focus on turning our loan book to cash and completing a transaction and our goal is to sell the business focused on billing and collections for mental health companies. Some months ago, we engaged in a divesture process for that business. We identified several potential acquirers. I am working now with the highest bidder on negotiating final deal terms.”

“We also have cash on hand and our monthly expenses, in the event we are able to divest the billing company for cash, is expected to be very low,” finished Dr. Gerber. “We would then be able to use the cash from the sale of the billing company, plus our cash on hand, plus the cash collected from the loan book, as a basis for a deal that is attractive to the Canadian markets.”

The Company’s financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 and accompanying Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) have been filed on SEDAR and are available at www.sedar.com.
