Income before income taxes of $2.8 million decreased $584,000 or 17% from the prior year third quarter. On a fully diluted basis earning per share decreased 3.5 cents or 25%.

Decreased revenues of $870,000 or 4% is due in part from a 16% decrease in fleet and available rental nights resulting in an 8% decrease in booked rental nights.

Direct expenses for the nine months increased by $322,000 compared to last year's $9.8 million. The decrease in revenues combined with the increase in direct expenses resulted in the gross margin decrease of $1.2 million or 11%.

Investment in rental fleet was $24.4 million at January 31, 2010, a decrease $2.2 million from January 31, 2009 and a decrease of $334,000 from April 30, 2009 year-end levels. The investment in fleet inventory available for sale was $1.4 million at January 31, 2010 a decrease of $2.7 million from January 31, 2009 and $1.3 million from April 30, 2009 year-end levels.

Fleet capital asset and other financing decreased $5.9 million or 23% to $19.5 million from the prior years third quarter of $25.5 million.

The Company's short-term liquidity position (cash and cash equivalents plus accounts receivable and short term deposits, minus accounts payable and accrued liabilities) stands at $1.1 million compared to $(125,000) at January 31, 2009.

It should be noted that the Company's core business, rental of recreational vehicles, is seasonal in nature with the majority of its revenue being earned during the May to October period, its first and second quarters. The majority of the company's direct expenses are incurred in that same period. The Company markets rental units and fleet inventory available for sale on a continuous basis throughout the year, however sales of such units are generally strongest in the spring and early summer. As a result of ongoing interest, amortization and adjustments and selling, general and administrative expenses, the last two quarters of the fiscal year normally produce operating losses. Losses incurred in the last two quarters may exceed profits earned in the first two quarters of the fiscal year.

The financial data included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except for the term cash flow from operations per share. Cash flow per share is a measure that provides shareholders and potential investors with additional information regarding the Company's liquidity and its ability to generate funds to finance its operations.

The Company encourages interested parties to access CanaDream Corporation's MD&A on the SEDAR website, www.sedar.com, for a more detailed discussion of these results.
