Quinsam Monthly Update for July 2014

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 6, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION BY ANY UNITED STATES NEWS DISTRIBUTION

Quinsam Capital Corporation (CSE:QCA) ("Quinsam" or the "Company") today provided an update on activities for July 2014.

In July, Quinsam increased its position in Tuscany Energy Ltd. on its recent new issue. Tuscany is about to embark on what we see as a relatively low risk heavy oil drilling program which if successful we expect will increase production to more than 1,000 bbls per day. With the recent equity raise which deleveraged Tuscany, and the current stability in heavy oil prices, we see this as a compelling small cap oil and gas investment.

We acquired a small position in DataWind Inc. after it traded down after its recent IPO. DataWind offers a very interesting technology to the developing world that allows users to obtain unlimited internet access at a cost of about $8 per year. We see this as a compelling value proposition and expect rapid growth in revenue.

We opportunistically traded two new issues in July. We exited the first of the positions at a profit which was in line with our expectations. The second transaction has not yet closed but also appears poised to be profitable on settlement.

We are hopeful that one of our largest position, Enerdynamic Hybrid Technologies Inc., will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in August. Enerdynamic offers a number of compelling alternative energy technologies and services and we are hopeful that the stock will trade at over our acquisition cost. We also hold a large warrant position in this company providing upside leverage.

Performance Update

Quinsam would also like to take this opportunity to update investors on the Company's recent performance.

The Company closed the month with a total portfolio exceeding $1.8 million. As at the end of June 2014, the unaudited total value of the Quinsam's cash and equity investments was approximately $1.9 million. The last few days of July were choppy in the small cap market, which impacted our portfolio value, although we do not expect the impact to be enduring.

An important leg in our business strategy is the accumulation of purchase warrants at little or no cost. We are pleased to report Quinsam now holds over 1.9 million warrants with an aggregate basic exercise value of approximately $1 million. The exercise value is not an indication of the economic value of the warrants; we provide it to investors so they can understand the amount of upside leverage that we are accumulating through our warrant portfolio. As at the end of July, the carrying value on our books of our warrant portfolio was $39,000, which was wholly attributable to the Atico warrants purchased in June.
