TORONTO, ONTARIO and HONG KONG, CHINA--(Marketwired - Aug. 28, 2015) - Spackman Equities Group Inc. (the "Company" or "SEGI") (TSX VENTURE:SQG) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (the "current quarter").

Revenue (loss) for the current quarter was $(2,521,000) compared to $(148,000) for the same period one year ago. Net loss for the current quarter was $2,812,000 or $0.02 per share compared to net loss of $461,000 or $0.00 for the same period one year ago.

Both the revenue (loss) and net loss for the current quarter reflect an unrealized loss on the fair value of the Company's 38.77% stake in Spackman Entertainment Group Limited ("SEGL"). The shares of SEGL are listed on the Catalist of the Singapore Exchange (ticker: 40E) and the Company's investment in SEGL is presented at fair value.

The Company owns 38.77% of SEGL, and based on the most recent closing price of SEGL's shares of SGD $0.046, the market value of the Company's stake in SEGL is SGD $7.11 million (CAD $6.71 million) or CAD $0.045 per SEGI share.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Charles Spackman, the Company's Chairman and CEO, stated; "The steep selloff in Asian markets which has persisted for most of 2015 has very negatively affected SEGL's share price in Singapore and, unfortunately, this downward trend has accelerated in the third quarter. We continue to believe that SEGL has a bright future and that the intrinsic value of its business will eventually be reflected in an improved share price once Asian capital markets stabilize and the company returns to profitability."

At June 30, 2015, SEGI had $17,021,000, or $0.114 per share in cash or cash equivalents, marketable securities and investment in shares of public companies.

The unaudited financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of the results are posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
