General Capital (GEN:NZ) subsidiary General Finance update.


General Capital Limited advises that its subsidiary General Finance Limited, a licensed Non-bank

Deposit Taker, has uploaded its quarterly report for the quarter ended 30 September 2020 to the

Disclose Register today.


The unaudited quarterly report shows that General Finance’s assets have continued to grow and that

it has remained profitable during a challenging economic period (due to the Covid-19 pandemic).


General Capital is expecting to report on the unaudited consolidated Group results for the half year

ended 30 September 2020 by 30 November 2020.


Mr. Brent King, Managing Director, explained that this report is required as General Finance Limited

holds a Non-bank Deposit Taker licence and the reporting is a requirement of the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013.


“We will continue to advise the market each time General Finance Limited uploads a document to the

Disclose Register”, said Mr. King.


The information can be found at www.disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz.
