VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 05, 2018 -- Parkit Enterprise Inc. (“Parkit” or “the Company”) (TSX-V:PKT) (OTCQX:PKTEF) has recently filed its audited financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the year ended October 31, 2017 (the “Annual Filings”) on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).The financial highlights for the fiscal year include:

• Revenue of $1,566,176, comprised of fee income, profit from joint ventures and profit from associate;
• Net income of $457,298, or $0.01 per share, inclusive of a foreign exchange loss of $132,724;
• General and administrative expenses of $906,566, representing a 52% reduction versus the prior year;

• Working capital increased 53% to $2,467,969;
• Book value increased to $17,384,767, equivalent to $0.54 per share.

During the year the Company earned the second earn-out consideration tranche of $2,343,655 as the OP Holdings portfolio achieved its performance target.

The Company re-invested a further $2,006,504 into its joint venture PAVe LLC resulting in an increase in the Company’s net effective interest in OP Holdings from 23.21% to 24.39%.

Roadwork construction surrounding Canopy Denver was completed in December 2017 which should lead to revenue improvements in upcoming periods.

The Company’s participation in OP Holdings generated a profit of $920,312 in 2017 compared to $1,234,926 the prior year.  After adjusting for additional one-time costs and the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of the OP Holdings debt portfolio, adjusted profit would have been $1,165,312 in 2017.

While the company's 50% owned Fly-A-Way Parking facility in Nashville experienced softness in 2017, cost control and marketing initiatives are being implemented to restore profit growth.
