Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 from continuing operations was $0.1 million ($0.00 per share) versus net income from continuing operations in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 of $0.8 million ($0.03 per share). The current year's quarter includes a gain on discontinued operations of $0.3 million ($0.01 per share) which represents the Corporation's share of performance fees realized by the purchaser of BluMont Capital Corporation. This represents the final contingent payment by the purchaser of BluMont Capital Corporation.

Revenue in the quarter was lower year over year primarily due to lower realized performance fees, lower gain on investment and lower revenue in the Private Debt Group as there were no loan closings in the quarter.

EBITDA (continuing operations as defined in the MD&A) in the latest quarter was negative $0.4 million versus a positive $0.7 million in the same quarter of the last fiscal year. EBITDA was adversely affected by a staffing change cost of $0.7 million and lower earnings in the Private Debt Group for the quarter versus the same quarter in the previous year.

In the current quarter, the Corporation realized net performance fees of approximately $0.4 million from the Managed Futures operations. Strong performance by Managed Futures is reflected in both performance fees noted above and in investment gains on the seed capital committed to a fund which we are subadvisors.

John Robertson, President and CEO, said, "AUM increased to approximately $2.4 billion at December 31, 2015, higher by approximately $600 million from September 30, 2015 due to the closing in October of the fifth Private Debt Fund, raising total commitments of $667 million. Between outstanding commitments to Real Estate and the new Private Debt Fund, we have approximately $800 million in commitments to deploy. We are paid based on invested, or in the market assets, not capital committed.

"As those investments are made, we will see an increase in fee revenue and a steadily growing stream of recurring management fees. This should result in increasing profitability as there will be little increase in overhead required to deploy and manage the additional revenue generating assets.

"In addition we expect to close our first Infrastructure Debt Fund in the second quarter of the fiscal year, thus further increasing committed capital for deployment."

Cash declined by approximately $2.7 million, due to payment of annual bonuses, income taxes and the staffing related costs; however, working capital remains virtually unchanged at $17 million.

IAM is one of Canada's leading alternative asset management companies with approximately $2.4 billion in assets and committed capital under management in real estate, private debt and managed futures as of February 4, 2016.
