Management's First Quarter Comments

For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share in the prior year. The progress that the Company has made in refocusing and transitioning the business and executing its asset diversification strategy is evident in the overall financial performance of the Company so far in 2015 compared to 2014.

Total assets as at March 31, 2015 were $20.7 million compared to $10.3 million as at March 31, 2014, a $10.4 million increase during the year. A primary effect of refocusing the business to diversify its asset portfolio resulted in the Company's investments in public portfolios to increase to $7.9 million at quarter end compared to $0.4 million in the prior year. Portfolio investments in publicly traded companies have been designated as either fair value through profit or loss or available for sale and are recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value. Fair value is determined directly by reference to quoted market closing prices in active markets.

Jason Ewart, the CEO of GC Global Capital, stated "During the quarter the management team continued in its efforts to complete transactions with growth oriented companies." He added "Our pipeline of deal flow is healthy and we look forward to closing and reporting the results of these transactions in the future quarters of 2015."

A full set of unaudited financial statements and related notes have been filed on SEDAR.
