I think you will find he has nothing to do with Greenfern anymore. (Red flags, I agree with, but the rest of the board is robust at GEN)

Does he have anything to do with 'Accelerate Deals' or Crown Capital? I thought some of his companies were still shilling GFI to pensioners.
If the rest of the board was robust they would not sit with King.

) The Group expected that some loans would take longer to collect. Management have increased default penalty interest rates and will
target loans with lower loan to valuation ratios.
Loans in arrears decreased to $6.5m as at 30 September 2023 from $13.5m as at 31 March 2023. These loan arrears include $2.7m of loans
past due greater than 90 days (March 2023: $4.1m). A total of $2.5m of arrears has been cleared after 30 September 2023. There was one
loan write-off of $330k in the 6 months ended 30 September 2023 (March 2023: $Nil), recovery actions are continuing to collect some or all
of the write off.
Equity ratio is 17.94%.

Profit up nicely but EPS down 33%
NIM under pressure.
Overall looks like it was a tough 6 months for new lending, the report alludes to a very strong September which saved the day.
I thought the SP might have dropped today. Not much traded. Only real buyer is 200,000 shares at 7 cents.

These results reflect our dedicated efforts and strategic initiatives in a challenging and dynamic market environment.
Our total assets have grown by 20%, reaching $163.33 million, underscoring our solid financial foundation. Despite the prevailing headwinds faced by the New Zealand economy, our commitment to prudent financial management has enabled us to maintain stability and foster growth. We recognise the vital role of our stakeholders, whose unwavering support and trust have been instrumental in achieving these results.
As previously announced, Equifax reaffirmed the credit rating of General Finance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Capital, as BB with a Stable Outlook on 6 December 2023. This reaffirmation reflects our robust financial health and our ability to navigate through regulatory and market changes effectively.

Strong Management of Arrears, Net Interest Margin and Costs
The wholly owned subsidiary General Finance, through prudent financial management, was able to successfully navigate a challenging economic environment to effectively manage and reduce both its credit losses and arrears, whilst maintaining a stable cost to income ratio and a healthy Net Interest Margin (NIM).
FY24 (31 Mar 2024) FY23 (31 Mar 2023) Change
NIM 2.90 % 4.48% -35%
Credit Losses 0.35% 0.70% -50%
Arrears 0.74% 11.61% -94%
Cost to Income
Ratio 56.25% 56.57% -1%
Rewi Bugo, Chairman, said “This is an outstanding result for the business in light of the economic environment. The General Capital management team continues to focus on growing the business organically whilst navigating the economic headwinds and regulatory changes. We are also in a position to leverage any suitable inorganic opportunities as they present themselves.”
Regulatory Update
The significant regulatory changes being driven by the Deposit Takers Act 2023 and the Deposit Compensation Scheme (“DCS”) have been a focus of both the Board and Management due to its impact on General Finance.
As a RBNZ-regulated non-bank deposit taker General Finance is eligible to apply to be included in the DCS and it is our intention to do so. The Board and Management believe that, whilst General Finance will be required to pay a levy to be part of the scheme and be subject to enhanced prudential regulation by the RBNZ, the benefits of having a guarantee for the first $100,000 of deposits will likely result in a significant net benefit for General Finance that will drive a significant increase in term deposits once it comes into force in mid-2025 impacting the 2026 financial year and beyond.
Outlook
Looking ahead to 2025 financial year, we anticipate a continuation of the growth and profitability trends driven by our strategic initiatives and market conditions. Our priorities include expanding our loan book, enhancing our research and advisory services, and maintaining strong liquidity. We expect to see further growth in secured term deposits and a continued focus on sustainable value creation for our shareholders.
About General Capital

Adopting a strategy of secured lending via conservative Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) loans, General Capital protects itself from significant risks of bad debts.
