Final Results

Global Structured Finance Inc 31 May 2006 31 May 2006 Global Structured Finance Inc. Preliminary Announcement Chairman's Statement Global Structured Finance Inc., ('Global Structured Finance' or 'the Company') announces the maiden results for the Company since it was incorporated on 30 November 2004, which includes its admission to AIM in March 2005. The Company was created to build, largely through investment and acquisition, a group specialising in the provision of structured financing products and services. During the period the Company's Directors explored a number of potential opportunities, although none have been sufficiently attractive to merit being put before shareholders. Despite this the Board has continued to review potential acquisitions and joint venture opportunities. On 3 April 2006 the London Stock Exchange suspended trading in the Company's securities on AIM as a consequence of the Company not having completed a reverse takeover or substantially implemented its investing strategy in accordance with the timetable specified under AIM Rule 8 relating to investing companies. Outlook The Directors are actively evaluating a number of potential transactions at the present time and remain confident of identifying a suitable acquisition or investment opportunity to enhance shareholder value by no later than 30 September 2006. The Board will inform shareholders of progress as it is appropriate to do so.
