Gendis Inc. Announces First Quarter Results
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - June 5, 2009) - Gendis Inc. (TSX:GDS - News) today announced its financial results for the 1st quarter ended April 30, 2009 of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2010.
Revenue for the 1st quarter was $945,000 compared to $975,000 last year. The decrease in revenue quarter over quarter is primarily attributable to the decline in the share of investment income from Fort Chicago, partially offset by an increase in rent revenue from a new tenancy in the Sony Place Facility that occurred in the 2nd quarter last year.
Net earnings from operations for the 1st quarter was $108,000 ($0.01 per share) compared to $1,160,000 ($0.08 per share) last year. Other comprehensive income was a $369,000 loss compared to income of $1,186,000 last year. The decrease in net earnings from operations and other comprehensive income quarter over quarter is primarily attributable to the substantial increase in the market value of investments that occurred in the 1st quarter last year with no counterpart for the current year 1st quarter. Subsequent to the 1st quarter last year, the Company's investments experienced a precipitous decline in market values to the extent that the Company substantially exited the equities market for its held for-trading investments by the end of the 3rd quarter last year. Accordingly, current quarter market value changes in investments held-for-trading were nominal. Other comprehensive income is the change in market value of the Company's investments that are available-for-sale, primarily its flow-through entity investment in Fort Chicago.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - unaudited
April 30, 2009
1. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
(a) These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. However, these interim financial statements do not contain all the disclosures that would be required under generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited annual consolidated financial statements at January 31, 2009. Certain disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as presented in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. The following notes to the interim financial statements are supplemental to the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements.
(b) The Accounting Standards Board of Canada plans to converge Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principals for publicly accountable enterprises with International Financial Reporting Standards effective for the Corporation's fiscal periods commencing on or after February 1, 2011. The Corporation is in the process of identifying and assessing the impact of the convergence of Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Standards with the required and optional changes of IFRS on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.
