TORONTO, May 21 /CNW/ - GT Canada Medical Properties Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Highlights
- On March 12, 2010, the Company completed its previously
announced acquisition (the "Acquisition") of a medical office
building known as "Queenston Medical-Dental Centre", a 15,584
square foot facility located on approximately 1.05 acres of
land in Hamilton, Ontario from 941703 Ontario Limited. The

collectively constitutes the Company's Qualifying Transaction'
under TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies.
- Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company acquired the Property
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,569,000, excluding
acquisition costs, (the "Purchase Price"), comprised of: (i)
the assumption by the Company of approximately $2,100,000 in
mortgage debt on the Property, (ii) 120,000 common shares of
the Company (with a value of $30,000), and (iii) the balance in
cash. The cash portion of the Purchase Price, being $1,439,000,
was funded by the Company using a portion of the proceeds from
the Private Placement.
- In connection with the Acquisition, the Company completed a
Private Placement of 10,877,837 subscription receipts (which
were automatically converted into common shares on a one-for-
one basis upon completion of the Acquisition) at a price of
$0.25 per common share for gross proceeds of $2,719,459.25. The
common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be
subject to a hold period that expires June 5, 2010.
- On March 25, 2010, the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange")
issued a bulletin announcing final acceptance of the Company's
qualifying transaction. Trading in the common shares of the
Company on the Exchange commenced on Monday, March 29, 2010,

Financial Highlights
- For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company
had property rental revenues of $30,548. This represented
rental revenue between March 12 to March 31, 2010. There were
no such comparable revenues in Q1 of 2009.
- For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company
had a net loss of $305,570 or $0.0416 per share basic. For the
same period of 2009, the Company had a net loss of $58,472, or
$0.0234 per share basic. The net loss was largely a result of a
charge of $167,320 for stock based compensation on stock
options issued to directors and officers and general and
administrative and travel costs of $136,305.
Outlook
With its qualifying transaction complete, the Company intends to
focus on achieving its goal of becoming a significant owner of
