The sale is a modest positive for Kingsway's balance sheet, adding $5M in cash and a $3M note receivable. However, it removes Trinity's revenue and cash flow from the consolidated financials going forward. Monitor Kingsway's next quarterly filing for the impact on revenue and operating income, and watch for any redeployment of proceeds into new acquisitions.
