Business Outlook
"This past quarter was our second as a BDC and was a productive one for us as we continued with the consolidation of the foundational assets for our portfolio," said Kevin Kreisler, GreenShift's chairman and chief executive officer. "We completed a series of key investments, we acquired rights to a number of innovative green technologies, we helped our portfolio companies to reduce their various debts, and we initiated operations in two exciting new portfolio companies. We realized net income for our first two quarters of about $1.3 million and our net asset value was up 49% quarter over quarter. We are generally pleased with our progress to date, but there is much left to do."
Kreisler added: "The balance of fiscal 2005 is about enhancing the intrinsic value of our various holdings and continuing to consolidate our targeted foundational assets. In the case of Veridium, GreenWorks and INSEQ, this is going to be about restructuring and refinancing these holdings in ways that streamline each of their respective expenses while catalyzing growth for each company. GreenShift Industrial Design, Tornado Trash, and Mean Green BioFuels are each surgically focused on stimulating immediate term cash flows with their respective technologies, and our expectation is that they will each prove out their capabilities to our consumer markets and the investment community in the near term. We expect Ovation Products to continue to execute as disclosed as it brings its remarkable new water purifier to market, and Sterling Planet and TerraPass to continue with their impressive growth rates selling renewable energy credits and other green tags.
Finally, we expect to complete a series of technology acquisitions and investments yet this quarter in companies with innovative and commercially viable technologies in industrial fuel cells, air and water emissions control, and electronics recycling. In all, we expect continued positive results in the fourth quarter 2005 and I am personally very excited by the path forward."
Conversion to Investment Company Accounting
The Company's results of operations for 2005 were divided into two periods. The period from April 1, 2005 through September 30, 2005 reflects the Company's results of operations after filing its election to be regulated as a BDC. Accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements beginning April 1, 2005 are different from those used for prior periods and, therefore, the financial position and results of operations for prior periods is not directly comparable, and are presented separately in the Company's Form 10QSB for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005. The primary differences in accounting principles from prior periods relate to the carrying value of investments.
Additional Information

Mr. Kreisler will conduct an interview with the online financial portal CEOcast, Inc. where he will discuss these results in greater detail on Tuesday, November 22nd. The interview will be available after 9 am eastern time that day at www.ceocast.com.
