Augen Capital Corp. ("Augen" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:AUG) today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the three month period ended September 30, 2009, Augen's loss was $143,896 compared to income of $301,193 in 2008, and net loss was $778,668 in 2009 compared to $1,252,569 in 2008. The negative income of $143,896 in 2009 was comprised of $48,872 of fee income and $933 of interest and dividends, offset by realized capital losses of $193,701. Although the Company did not generate as much income in 2009 as it did in 2008, the Company was able to partially offset the decrease in income by a reduction in expenses of $117,006 in 2009. At September 30, an impairment loss of $966,004 was recorded, which is part of the $999,907 share of loss and capital transactions and impairment loss from the equity-accounted investment line of the consolidated statement of operations. The increase in the net loss which resulted from the impairment loss has been partially offset by the increase of $666,661 in the value of the Company's Merchant Banking portfolio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the three months ended Merchant Banking Managed Products Total September 30, 2009 2008 2009 2008 2009 2008 $ $ $ $ $ $ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income (loss (173,727) 120,671 29,831 180,522 (143,896) 301,193 Expenses 325,424 382,118 168,358 228,670 493,782 610,788 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings (loss) Before undernoted items (499,151) (261,447) (138,527) (48,148) (637,678) (309,595) Share of (earnings) loss and capital transactions, and impairment loss from equity-accounted investment 999,907 31,864 - - 999,907 31,864 Unrealized (gain) loss on investments held for trading (666,661) 1,244,848 - - (666,661) 1,244,848 Non-recurring charges - 5,582 - 5,582 - 11,164 Adjustment to fair value of liabilities - (132,899) - - - (132,899) Amortization 2,574 5,641 2,574 5,640 5,148 11,281 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings (loss) before income taxes (834,971)(1,416,483) (141,101) (59,370) (976,072)(1,475,853) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income taxes Current (7,714) (63,595) Future (189,690) (159,689) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (197,404) (223,284) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings (loss) and comprehensive earnings (loss) (778,668)(1,252,569) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, Augen's loss was $39,169 compared to income of $1,202,807 in 2008, and net loss was $1,380,084 in 2009 compared to $2,957,367 in 2008.
