NEW YORK, March 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MFC Bancorp
Ltd. ("MFC" or the "Company") (NYSE: MFCB) announced today that as
a result of a customer of the Company filing for insolvency in
February 2016, which is an adjusting
subsequent event under IFRS, the Company is currently evaluating
its net exposure relating to such customer after giving effect to
related security interests, risk mitigation security and other
rights and remedies held by the Company, and, therefore, the
Company has not filed its financial statements and accompanying
management discussion and analysis (the "Annual Filings") for the
year ended December 31, 2015 today,
being the date that such filings are due under applicable Canadian
securities requirements.
The Company currently expects to file the Annual Filings, and
its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 on or before April 6, 2016 and will issue a news release
announcing completion of such filings at such time.

Disclaimer for Forward-Looking
Information
This news release contains statements which are, or may be
deemed to be, "forwardlooking statements" which are
prospective in nature, including, without limitation, statements
regarding the expected filing date of the Annual Filings.
Forwardlooking statements are not based on historical facts,
but rather on current expectations and projections about future
events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which
could cause actual results to differ materially from the future
results expressed or implied by the forwardlooking
statements. Often, but not always, forwardlooking statements
can be identified by the use of forwardlooking words such as
"plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected",
"scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "projects", "intends",
"anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or
variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain
actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would",
"might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements
are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and
uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Such
forwardlooking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results,
revenues, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by the forwardlooking statements. Important factors
that could cause our actual results, revenues, performance or
achievements to differ materially from our expectations include,
among other things, the timing of, and completion, of necessary
accounting and audit procedures to complete the Annual Filings and
other factors beyond our control. Such forward-looking statements
should therefore be construed in light of such factors. Other than
in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations, the Company
is not under any obligation and the Company expressly disclaims any
intention or obligation to update or revise any
forwardlooking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Additional information
about these and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties are set
out in our Annual Report on Form 20F filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and our Management's Discussion
and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, filed with the Canadian
securities regulators.
