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.

Notes to the Preliminary Announcement
For the period ended 31 December 2005
1. Basis of Preparation
The preliminary announcement has been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and under the historical cost convention.
The Company was incorporated as a Corporation in the Cayman Islands which does
not prescribe the adoption of any particular accounting framework. Accordingly,
the Board have resolved the Company will follow UK Accounting Standards and
apply the Companies Act 1985 when preparing its annual financial statements. The
principal accounting policies are set out in the Company's 2005 annual report
and financial statements.
2. Taxation on Loss on Ordinary Activities
There is no tax charge for the period. The Company does not operate within the
UK and there is no tax arising on its operations.
3. Loss per Share
The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the loss on ordinary
activities after tax of £106,000 divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period of 23,622,222. The impact of the
warrants on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
