Greenscape Drives in Healthy Parking Revenues and Reveals Growth Strategy

- Vancouver, B.C., Canada

Greenscape Capital Group Inc.("Greenscape") TSX-V: GRN is pleased to provide a corporate update.

Operational update

Greenscape is pleased to announce that revenues, net operating income and profitability are all ramping up significantly at the Canopy Parking Facility servicing the Denver International Airport. The accumulated earnings at Canopy (the 81.2% owned subsidiary of Greenscape) have allowed the company to make its first distribution to parent company Greenscape Capital which totaled USD $1,040,645. This million dollar injection into Greenscape paid down over $500,000 in principal debt and allowed the company to proceed with its replacement financing strategy as described in the Greenscape News Release dated May 13, 2013.

Canopy's first full operational year was 2011 where annual car counts saw 515,114 vehicles parked. The start-up year brought in US$4,042,000 of revenue and EBITDA was a loss of US$883,239. As operations ramped up through a strong 2012, Canopy reported 673,234 vehicles parked to drive US$6,578,000 in revenue and EBITDA of US$1,510,000.

The financial performance of Canopy continues to improve and FY Q1 Canopy parked car counts were up 26% year-over-year.

The Year Ahead : Commitment to Focus on Growth through Acquisition of Additional Parking Facilities

With Canopy Airport Parking now achieving significant annual earnings and with the commencement of distributions now having occurred, Greenscape is looking to solidify its balance sheet by refinancing high interest debt that was incurred during the construction and launch of the facility. After completion of the refinancing process, which is expected in early July, Greenscape will embark on an aggressive growth strategy in the North American parking sector.

Management has been busy building relationships with key finance and parking industry leaders that will provide a basis for meaningful expansion of the Company's assets in the United States. The Canopy Parking facility serves as the core corporate asset and carries an upon completion value of US$37.1 million, based on a Cushman Wakefield appraisal. Management is excited to build significant shareholder value through the renewed focus of the company's mandate and ample opportunities in the parking sector.

Rebranding

Concurrent with the company's exclusive focus on parking assets, Greeenscape will be seeking approval for a name change that reflects the commitment to building a premier North American parking company.
