DUNDEE BANCORP INC.
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2003 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Dundee Bancorp is pleased to report its second quarter financial results for 2003. Highlights of the second quarter are as follows:
Our 84% owned subsidiary, Dundee Wealth Management Inc., reported strong financial results for the second quarter, with EBITDA of $22.2 million and net earnings of $5.2 million. Assets under management and administration reached levels in excess of $17.6 billion in the aggregate. Revenues, EBITDA and earnings continued to show growth as the operations of DynamicNova are integrated into Dundee Wealth's investment management division.
The plan of arrangement involving our 45% owned Dundee Realty Corporation ("Dundee Realty") was completed on June 30, 2003. Our second quarter results reflect equity earnings of $3.9 million from Dundee Realty. Our June 30th balance sheet reflects the acquisition of 85% of the land and housing operations of Dundee Realty and the restructuring of the revenue producing properties into Dundee Real Estate Investment Trust ("Dundee REIT"). The real estate assets of the Dundee REIT are owned as to 42% by Dundee Bancorp through a partnership interest in the Dundee REIT. In future periods, the operating results of Dundee Realty will be consolidated with those of the Company. Dundee REIT expects to distribute approximately $2.20 per unit per annum. With the equivalent of 6.9 million units owned by the Company, this approximates in excess of $15 million that will accrue annually to Dundee Bancorp.
The Company generated cash of approximately $85 million since the beginning of the year as a result of transactions in its investment portfolio. Included in this amount is $37.0 million realized on the sale of Zemex Corporation. These transactions contributed $23.3 million to investment income for the period.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $37.0 million or $1.46 per share compared with earnings of $5.5 million or $0.21 per share for the same period in 2002. The Company's operating results have been bolstered by positive results in the wealth management division which, during the first six months of 2003, increased EBITDA to $37.1 million from $23.6 million in the same period of 2002, and by substantially higher investment income earned from realized gains during the six month period.
On a quarterly basis, net earnings increased from $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $23.9 million in the second quarter. This has resulted in earnings per share of $0.94 in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $0.52 in the first quarter. Total revenues generated in the second quarter of 2003, including investment income, were $86.7 million, slightly below levels of $94.1 million in the first quarter of 2003. Increased revenue levels generated by Dundee Wealth in the second quarter were partially offset by lower investment income in the same period.

RESULTS OF THE WEALTH MANAGEMENT DIVISION
Revenues
Investment management fee revenues earned in the second quarter of 2003 were $39.9 million, an increase of $2.5 million over the first quarter. Year-to-date management fee revenues are $77.3 million compared with $58.3 million earned in the same period of 2002. While the acquisition of DynamicNova accounts for a large part of this increase, during the second quarter of 2003, Dundee Wealth earned performance fees of $2.5 million from the management of certain tax flow-through share limited partnerships. Average management fees earned during the first two quarters of 2003 increased to 1.728% from 1.678% in the first two quarters of 2002.
During the first six months of 2003, net sales activity of Dynamic products was $181 million, offset by net redemptions of $184 million of DynamicNova assets. Following the planned merger of certain of the Dynamic and DynamicNova mutual funds, management expects the level of net redemptions to be further reduced. As at June 30, 2003, assets under management were $8.7 billion.
Redemption fees earned by Dundee Wealth during the first two quarters of 2003 were $5.6 million compared with $4.3 million earned in the same period last year. In the first six months of 2003, clients redeemed assets worth $1.1 billion, including $407 million of DynamicNova assets. By comparison, total redemptions in the same period of 2002, which do not include the DynamicNova assets, were $575 million. The average redemption fee rate continues to decrease, reflecting both an aging of assets and the higher use of the short redemption fee schedule.
Financial services revenue was $65.1 million in the first six months of 2003 compared to $66.2 million in the same period of the previous year. In the first two quarters of 2003, Dundee Wealth earned commission revenues of $43.7 million (2002 - $42.1 million) of which 82% (2002 - 84%) were generated by retail operations. Assets under administration as at June 30, 2003 stood at $8.9 billion, including $5.4 billion in mutual fund assets which generate recurring revenues. Corporate finance participated in 51 financing transactions during the first two quarters of 2003 (2002 - 52), but revenues of $9.5 million fell short of the level achieved in the same period of the previous year by 16%.
Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the wealth management division to June 30, 2003 were $59.3 million compared with $57.5 million in 2002. This increase reflects the integration of DynamicNova operations, including sub-advisory fees which continue to be paid on certain DynamicNova assets. As a result of operating synergies, Dynamic has successfully reduced DynamicNova's operating costs. Fund mergers, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2003, are expected to result in further cost reductions.
Variable compensation costs have decreased from approximately $37.6 million in the first half of 2002 to $36.8 million in the same period of 2003. Contribution margins, being the excess of revenues over variable compensation costs, have remained constant at approximately 37%.
The Company pays commissions to third-party brokers and dealers who sell mutual fund units on a deferred sales charge basis. For accounting purposes, these commissions are deferred and amortized over a five-year period. Amortization of deferred sales commissions increased to $21.2 million in the first six months of 2003 compared with $15.9 million in the same period of 2002. Current year amortization expense includes $9.8 million with respect to commissions acquired as part of the DynamicNova transaction. In the first six months of 2003, the wealth management division paid an average commission rate of 4.2% on sales of units purchased on a deferred sales charge basis, for an aggregate of approximately $13.5 million. At June 30, 2003, the carrying value of deferred sales commissions was $76.4 million.
Trailer fees paid by the Company during the first half of 2003 were $15.0 million (2002 - $10.1 million), representing 0.4% (2002 - 0.4%) of the average assets managed which are subject to trailer fees, or approximately 24% (2002 - 22%) of total management fee revenues from these assets.
RESULTS OF CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO ACTIVITIES
Plan of Arrangement Involving Dundee Realty Corporation
On June 30, 2003, Dundee Bancorp completed a plan of arrangement involving Dundee Realty whereby Dundee Bancorp and certain of the Dundee Realty management (the "Management Shareholders") acquired all of the shares of Dundee Realty owned by the public shareholders. Dundee Realty previously operated in two business segments, land and housing operations and revenue producing properties. The plan of arrangement involved the following transactions:
As a result of the plan of arrangement, Dundee Bancorp's interest in Dundee Realty's land and housing operations increased to 85% with the Management Shareholders owning the remaining 15%. Subsequent to the transaction, the operating results of the land and housing business of Dundee Realty are consolidated with the accounts of Dundee Bancorp. Dundee Bancorp's interest in Dundee REIT has been reduced to 42% as a result of the arrangement and will continue to be accounted for using the equity method. The increase in the Company's interest in Dundee Realty's land and housing business was accounted for as a step acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was assigned to the assets and liabilities acquired as detailed in note 2 to the June 30, 2003 financial statements of the Company.

During the first six months of 2003, the Company realized cash proceeds of $100 million and gains of $23.1 million from the sale of certain securities. Included in these transactions are proceeds of $37.4 million (US$26.7 million) generated on
the sale of Zemex Corporation. As mentioned in previous reports, the Company's investment portfolio is managed with a long-term perspective. Therefore, gains and losses from trading activity will vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
As at June 30, 2003, 75% (2002 - 75%) of the market value of the investment portfolio was invested in public company securities. Mutual funds and other liquid investments represent 9% (2002 - 12%) of the total portfolio, while private companies represent 16% (2002 - 13%) of the overall portfolio.

Income generated by the investment portfolio during the first six months is summarized in the table below.

In accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, certain of the Company's investments are accounted for using the equity method whereby the Company includes its proportionate interest in the earnings and losses of these investments in the Company's consolidated earnings. Earnings from equity accounted investees were $8.6 million in 2003 compared to $8.9 million in 2002. Included in equity earnings is $6.3 million (second quarter 2003 - $3.9 million) earned from the Company's investment in Dundee Realty prior to the plan of arrangement.
RESULTS OF INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
The Dundee Leeds Group, a subsidiary of The Dundee Bank provides administration and accounting services to third-party hedge and investment funds with approximately US$10 billion in assets. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company made extensive changes to its management and operations in the Dundee Leeds Group. These changes have resulted in improved efficiencies and a 24% increase in revenues in the current year compared to the same period of last year. These improvements were accomplished without increases in operating costs, and our international operations, before accounting for a foreign exchange loss that has reduced earnings this year, are now running at an approximate breakeven level.
OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES
51% owned Eurogas Corporation earned $7.2 million in oil and gas revenues in the first six months of 2003 compared with $3.3 million in 2002. Current year results include $2.6 million in natural gas marketing revenue relating to a natural gas storage facility in Canada. Operating costs have increased from $0.9 million in the first six months of 2002 to $3.3 million in 2003.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Consolidated interest expense, after intersegment eliminations, was $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $6.4 million in 2002. Approximately 65% of the Company's total interest expense, or $5.0 million, relates to the Company's $150 million, 6.70% senior debentures issued in September 1997.
As part of the DynamicNova acquisition completed in October 2002, the wealth management division inherited certain debt which has resulted in increased interest expense during the first six months of 2003 of approximately $1.0 million.
DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation, depletion and amortization costs in the first six months of 2003 were $4.0 million, or $2.0 million per quarter.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings for the period by the weighted average number of Class A subordinate voting shares and Class B common shares outstanding during the period of 25,324,365 (2002 - 25,525,992). Share options outstanding were not dilutive.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and short term investments have increased during the period from $119.5 million at the end of 2002 to $198.4 million as at June 30, 2003. In addition to cash and short term investments, approximately 9% of the market value of the Company's investment portfolio is invested in liquid investments, including bonds and mutual funds.
The Company's operating cash flows are expected to increase in future periods from the consolidated land and housing operations and from distributions of income from our partnership interest with Dundee REIT. The Company's share of these earnings were previously equity accounted without any cash being received. Annual distributions from Dundee REIT are expected to be approximately $2.20 per unit aggregating over $15 million for Dundee Bancorp.
The Company's main operating subsidiaries operate in a regulated environment and are therefore subject to requirements whereby they must maintain required levels of capital, which is usually maintained in cash or other liquid assets. At June 30, 2003, all regulated entities complied with regulatory capital requirements and reported capital in excess of requirements.
Significant changes in the Company's cash position since year end include:
$24.4 million paid to the public shareholders of Dundee Realty as part of the plan of arrangement.
Cash flows from operations, before changes in non-cash working capital items, increased to $32.1 million from $15.2 million in the prior year. Improvements in operating cash flows are most prominent in the wealth management division.
Proceeds from sales of investments were $100 million, $15.5 million of which were reinvested in the portfolio.
During the first six months of 2003, the Company financed $16.5 million of deferred sales commissions in Dundee Wealth.
The Company made a $5.0 million, semi-annual interest payment to its debenture holders in respect of its $150 million, 6.70% senior debentures.
The Company paid $2.0 million towards the purchase price for acquiring the non controlling interest in a subsidiary of Dundee Wealth.
The Company acquired 483,100 shares of Dundee Wealth in the open market at a cost of $2.9 million.
On April 24, 2003, the Company successfully renegotiated its revolving term credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank and increased its operating line from $30 million to $55 million. Similar to the Company's previous arrangements, the new facility bears interest on a tiered basis in accordance with the Company's senior debt rating. The Company is in compliance with its financial covenants in respect of this facility. Concurrently, Dundee Wealth's term credit facility for $20 million was repaid and terminated.
The Company provides a revolving line of credit to Dundee Wealth and Dundee Wealth's subsidiary, DWM Inc., to a maximum of $50 million. As at June 30, 2003, $23.9 million had been borrowed under this facility.
Dundee Wealth's brokerage subsidiary may borrow up to a maximum of $100 million pursuant to a call loan facility which was established to facilitate the securities settlement process for both client and firm inventory positions. As at June 30, 2003, the brokerage subsidiary had borrowed $2.5 million pursuant to this facility compared with $7.4 million at December 31, 2002.
Management is of the view that cash flows generated from operations, together with the Company's borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to meet ongoing working capital requirements, including planned capital spending and debt servicing requirements.
SHARE CAPITAL
At June 30, 2003 there were 24,172,777 Class A subordinate voting shares and 1,049,193 Class B common shares outstanding. During the first six months of 2003, the Company issued 37,717 subordinate shares and added $241,000 to its stated capital as part of its Share Incentive Plan.
During the first half of 2003, the Company purchased 144,601 subordinate shares for cancellation pursuant to its normal course issuer bid, at a cost of $14.66 per share.

(unaudited)
Dundee Bancorp Inc., ("Dundee Bancorp" or the "Company") is a holding company dedicated to wealth management and financial services. Its domestic financial service activities are carried out through its 84% owned subsidiary, Dundee Wealth Management Inc. ("Dundee Wealth"). Dundee Bancorp also provides financial services internationally through offices in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. Together, these domestic and international financial services operations provide a broad range of financial products and services to individuals, institutions and corporations. Dundee Bancorp also has significant real estate operations carried out through its 85% owned subsidiary, Dundee Realty Corporation, and its 42% partnership interest in Dundee Real Estate Investment Trust ("Dundee REIT"). Dundee Bancorp manages its own portfolio of investments, both directly and indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries. The portfolio includes both publicly listed and private companies in a variety of sectors, including real estate, resources and financial services.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim consolidated financial statements of Dundee Bancorp Inc. have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as those disclosed in note 1 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Plan of Arrangement Involving Dundee Realty Corporation
On June 30, 2003, Dundee Bancorp completed a plan of arrangement involving Dundee Realty Corporation ("Dundee Realty") whereby the revenue producing properties of Dundee Realty were transferred to a newly created real estate investment trust, Dundee REIT. Dundee Bancorp and certain of the Dundee Realty management ("Management Shareholders") acquired all shares of Dundee Realty owned by the public shareholders for consideration of $3.00 and one unit of Dundee REIT per Dundee Realty share. Following the arrangement, Dundee Realty's operations consist only of its land and housing business.
As a result of the plan of arrangement, the Company's interest in Dundee REIT was reduced from 45% to 42% and the Company's interest in Dundee Realty's land and housing business was increased from 45% to 85%. The Management Shareholders hold the remaining 15% interest in Dundee Realty's land and housing business. The Company accounts for its investment in Dundee REIT on an equity basis. Subsequent to the plan of arrangement, the Company has accounted for its investment in Dundee Realty on a consolidated basis.
The Company's total carrying value in Dundee Realty after the plan of arrangement is $64.8 million, including cash of $24.4 million paid pursuant to the plan of arrangement and $40.4 million of historical carrying value, which includes
the land and housing business portion of the Company's share of earnings and losses under the equity method of accounting prior to the date of the plan of arrangement.
The increase in the Company's interest in Dundee Realty's land and housing business was accounted for as a step acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price, as detailed in the table below, has been assigned to the assets and liabilities acquired based on information currently available and is subject to revision. The amounts assigned to capital and other real estate assets include negative goodwill of $85.5 million, net of taxes of $42.1 million, such negative goodwill being the difference between the net book value of these assets in the records of Dundee Realty and their assigned value. The negative goodwill will be amortized into income over the life of the underlying capital or real estate assets, or will otherwise be recognized in income when such assets are sold.
Net assets acquired at assigned values: | | |
Capital and other real estate assets | $ | 60,882 |
Future income tax assets | | 49,602 |
Corporate debt | | (64,972) |

Cash | $ | 24,406 |
Carrying value of Dundee Realty's land and housing | | |
business prior to plan of arrangement, net of tax | | 40,437 |
| $ | 64,843 |
Corporate debt assumed includes land mortgages and housing advances which are secured by charges on specific land and housing under development or land held for development. Pursuant to a shareholders' agreement between the Company and the Management Shareholders, the Management Shareholders may require the Company to purchase shares owned by the Management Shareholders for cash equal to the fair market value of such shares if the purchase is to take place after June 30, 2005, or at the lower of fair market value and $24,395 per share (aggregating approximately $3.6 million) if such purchase takes place prior to June 30, 2005.
Acquisition of Non Controlling Interest in Canada Dominion Group of Companies
On March 28, 2003, the Company acquired all shares of the Canada Dominion Group of Companies that it did not already own, being 49%, for cash of $4,000,000, $1,000,000 of which was paid at closing and $3,000,000 to be paid in three equal annual installments of $1,000,000. As the amount payable is non-interest bearing, it has been discounted at a rate of 6.7% with the resulting $2,639,000 being reported as corporate debt.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Investment management contracts acquired have been determined to have an indefinite life and therefore, the related intangible asset is not subject to amortization.
Investment management contracts | $ | 3,609 |
Other assets acquired | | 774 |
Liabilities assumed | | (744) |
| $ | 3,639 |
Consideration paid: | | |
Cash | $ | 1,000 |

| $ | 3,639 |
An additional $1,000,000 was paid in respect of a non-compete agreement with the former shareholder, and is being amortized over a three year period.
