Effective financial leverage for developing innovation in Quebec.

Releases

Montreal, May 26, 2008 – R&D Capital has confirmed a 38% increase in its 2008 second quarter results. This represents substantial growth compared with last year.

”The asset financing market clearly meets the need for liquidity for businesses involved in a process of innovation,” emphasized company President Pierre Binette.

This increase is due in part to leading-edge sectors, but more traditional sectors seeking to take advantage of innovation to help increase their productivity also contributed.

Among the sectors using R&D Capital’s services, we show 26 fields, 8 of which are in the fields of security, transportation, mining and graphic printing.

The multimedia, photonics and communications, computer science and biotechnology sectors are still at the top of the list showing 18 fields.

Since its creation in 2004, R&D Capital has become a financial partner for businesses wishing to increase their innovative potential thanks to the financing of their refundable tax credits for SR&ED.

About R&D Capital R&D Capital is well-known as a financial institution by the Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Québec as a pioneer in the short-term interim financing of tax credits.

The bulk of the work carried out by the in-house team consists in financing both the past and current tax credits of numerous businesses.
