[{"type":"text","content":"MILLBROOK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2021 / Bexil Corporation (Stock Symbol:BXLC) ("Bexil" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Bexil recorded net income attributable to Bexil shareholders of approximately $0.14 million or $0.18 of diluted earnings per share, compared to net income attributable to Bexil shareholders of approximately $0.40 million or $0.47 of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2020.For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Bexil recorded net income attributable to Bexil shareholders of approximately $5.43 million or $6.59 of diluted earnings per share compared to a net loss attributable to Bexil shareholders of approximately $3.61 million or $4.36 of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") require that the Company include the changes in unrealized gains/losses of its equity security investments in net income.
