C2 Global Technologies Inc. Reports 2009 First Quarter Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
C2 Global Technologies Inc. ("C2" or the "Company") (OTCBB: COBT) today
reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31,
2009. All amounts are stated in US dollars.

The Company had a net loss of $0.3 million or $0.02 per common share,
basic and diluted, for the first quarter of 2009, compared to net income
of $1.8 million or $0.08 per common share, basic and diluted, for the
first quarter of 2008.

During the first quarter of 2009 the Company had no revenue from
continuing operations, compared to $6.2 million for the first quarter of
2008. The 2008 revenue was from settlement and license agreements with
respect to the Company's intellectual property. The Company is continuing
to pursue licenses from entities that are using the Company's patented
technology.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company established Counsel RB
Capital LLC ("Counsel RB"), in which it holds a 75% interest. Counsel RB
specializes in the acquisition and disposition of distressed and surplus
assets throughout the United States and Canada, including industrial
machinery and equipment, real estate, inventories, accounts receivables
and distressed debt. In addition to purchasing various types of assets,
Counsel RB also arranges traditional asset disposition services such as
on-site and webcast auctions, liquidations and negotiated sales.

On May 7, 2009, C2 invested approximately $2.6 million to acquire an
approximately 5% interest in the brand, inventory, intellectual property
and other assets of Polaroid Corporation, pursuant to a Chapter 11
reorganization in a U.S. bankruptcy court. C2's interest will be managed
by Knight's Bridge Capital Management L.P., an affiliate of the Company's
parent, Counsel Corporation.

"We are very excited about our new initiative, Counsel RB. We believe
that the business of Counsel RB is not only timely, because of the
current state of the economy throughout North America, but also
opportunistic in that it supports C2's long-term growth and value
creation strategy", said Allan Silber, Chairman and CEO of C2. He added,
"We are also extremely pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of
the iconic Polaroid brand. We expect it to provide strong earnings and
cash flow as it pursues a global licensing strategy based on its brand,
its existing portfolio of innovative and patented technologies, and its
potential to be a platform for new products and product categories".
