Surety Capital Corp. (OTC Pink: SRYP) (PINKSHEETS: SRYP) announces its first quarter ended March 31, 2014 unaudited financial results. Surety's Chairman of the Board and CEO Ralph Mendoza stated, "Surety's net income for the quarter was $16,366, a 15% decrease over the same quarter ended March 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross volume." Mendoza further stated, "This is the thirteenth quarter in a row that Surety has had a net income from its ordinary business operations. The Company is continuing its efforts to grow its customer base within the Hispanic funeral home receivable financing segment and its net income is impacted not only by competitive lending sources, but by factors that impact the demand for funeral home receivable financing in general and its cost of capital." Mendoza finally stated, "Our decision last year to conserve cash and direct earning back into the Company by not continuing to incur the cost to have the Company pay fees to be quoted on the OTC Market and publish the required reports has significantly contributed to maintaining a positive trend in net income, however it has resulted in marginal to no trading in our shares. The last reported trade of $.007 per share would indicate our market capitalization is less than two times our annual earnings for the past twelve months. While there are many factors that influence the volume and value of our share trading, we believe that with our growth and consecutive quarters of positive earnings our Company should reflect a higher overall market value."
CEO, Chairman Mendoza stated, "The Board of Directors is in the final stages of getting shareholders' approval that Surety convert its domicile to the State of Texas from Delaware with a revised authorized share structure that provides for an effective forward split of our stock 100 for 1. Based on our understanding of the dynamics of how stocks trade in our market environment we are hopeful that such action will increase our overall market valuation." A majority of the shareholders' are required to approve the actions and the Board of Directors directly and/or indirectly control more than 50% of the shareholders' votes. Surety Capital Corporation currently has 16,520,973 shares of common stock $.01 par value outstanding out of an authorized 20,000,000 shares. After the split there will be 1,652,097,300 shares of common stock no par value outstanding and 2,000,000,000 shares authorized.
