Our operating EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
$210.6 million, well in excess of operating EBITDA of $87.0 million
earned during the same period of 2009. Net earnings per share were
$0.91 on a fully diluted basis, as compared to net earnings of

At July 31, 2010, assets under management and administration in
our wealth management subsidiary, DundeeWealth Inc., were $72.2
billion. Through its Dynamic family of funds, DundeeWealth
continued to lead the industry in total net sales as reported by
the Investment Funds Institute of Canada. Coupled with strong
performance of core mutual funds, DundeeWealth increased mutual
fund market share to 4.11% at June 30, 2010, compared with 3.76% at
the end of 2009 and 3.33% at the end of the second quarter of the
prior year. During the first half of 2010, DundeeWealth earned
operating EBITDA of $149.0 million which compares with operating
EBITDA of $63.7 million for the same period of 2009. Included in
EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2010, is a pre-tax gain of
$33.3 million pertaining to the disposition of certain of its

Our real estate subsidiary, Dundee Realty Corporation, generated
operating EBITDA of $33.2 million in the first half of this year, a
66% improvement over operating EBITDA of $20.0 million earned in
the first half of the prior year. Improvements reflect continuing
strong demand for, and increased sales of our real estate products,
most notably in western Canada.
Propelled by our share of earnings from our equity-accounted

million in the first half of 2010, compared with pre-tax earnings
of $0.7 million in the first half of the prior year. Our share of
