For the year ended April 30, 2013, CanaDream Corporation recorded net and comprehensive income of $608,000, a 44% decrease from the prior year. Cash flow earned from operating activities was $13.9 million, a 6% decrease.
Total revenue increased $1.4 million (rental revenue increased 3% and revenue from the sale of guest fleet and fleet inventory available for sale increased 9%). Operating expenses increased 8% from the prior year. Finance interest decreased 7%.
At April 30, 2013, investment in guest fleet and fleet inventory available for sale was $28.6 million, a $1.5 million decrease from the prior year, due to fleet purchases less unit sales and guest fleet transferred to fleet inventory available for sale and depreciation. As a result of a decrease in guest fleet and fleet inventory available for sale, fleet financing was $20.1 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from April 30, 2012.
The Company's core business, promoting the opportunity to experience Canada at your own pace through the recreational vehicle experience, is seasonal in nature with the majority of its revenue being earned during the May to October period, the first and second quarters of its fiscal year. The majority of the Company's cost of services expenses before employee compensation, benefits and depreciation are incurred in that same period.
The Company markets for sale guest experienced recreational vehicles and fleet inventory available for sale on a continuous basis throughout the year; however, sales of such units are generally strongest from January to early summer. As a result of ongoing depreciation, interest and other operating expenses, the last two quarters of the fiscal year normally produce operating losses. Losses incurred in the last two quarters may exceed profits earned in the first two quarters of the fiscal year.
