Canadian Banc Recovery Corp. (formerly Prime Rate Plus Corp) ("the Company")
announces its semi-annual financial results for the six months ending May 31,

The six month period ending May 31, 2009 was one of the most tumultuous periods
in financial market history. Against this backdrop, the market prices of the
Canadian bank stocks in the portfolio mirrored this activity reaching lows in
early March but recovering significantly by the end of May. The net asset value
as at May 31 ended $1.85 higher to $17.60 per unit over the six month period.
Distributions for both classes of shareholders were made at the targeted rates
during the period.
The Company invests in a portfolio of six publicly traded Canadian Banks as
follows: Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, National Bank of
Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia, Toronto-Dominion Bank. Shares
held within the portfolio are expected to range between 5-20% in weight but may

writing program.
