Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

Gross revenue for the quarter increased 56% versus the same period in 2014 to $8.6 million, a result driven by the recognition of $0.7 million gross policy benefits and $14.0 million of fair value gain in the quarter, which was related both to an increase in price competition experienced in the life insurance secondary market and the increase in the Company's portfolio of life insurance policies net of maturities. Total expenses for the quarter ending June 30, 2015 were $12.0 million versus $9.4 million for the same period one year ago. The increase was driven by increased interest expense, continued investment in the Company's marketing, branding and technology infrastructure as well as increased compensation and benefits costs related to the Company's overall growth objectives.

Total net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1.9 million or $0.32 per both basic and fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.59 per basic and fully diluted share, for the same period in 2014. The weighted average basic and fully diluted shares outstanding for the quarter was 5.9 million.

"All of the key drivers of long term growth – life insurance portfolio growth, expansion of direct policy origination, increased capital sources and awareness of the life settlement transaction among the senior population – were intact and evident in this quarter's performance," said William Acheson, GWG Holdings, Inc.'s Chief Financial Officer. "We continue to invest in high yield assets backed by investment-grade credits while providing owners of life insurance an unmatched value proposition, a true win-win."

"We continue to make progress in positioning GWG as the premier provider of value-added products and services to the financial advisor community by developing a vertically integrated specialty finance company to address a growing opportunity in the life insurance secondary market," said Jon Sabes, GWG Holdings, Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer. "We have made the investments and developed the strategies that enable consumers to recycle their unwanted life insurance into productive non-correlated investment assets. This unique business model provides seniors with valuable post-retirement financial solutions and investors with yield derived from assets whose performance is not tied to the stock market, commodities, or real estate. We are on the threshold of creating something great, which we expect will lead to explosive growth for the investors of GWGH."

A Powerful Origination Model

"We have continued to sharpen our service offerings and marketing tools available to financial professionals who market our products and services, said Michael Freedman, President of GWG Holdings. "GWG's Appointed Agent Program empowers financial professionals to bring the secondary market's value proposition directly to consumers owning life insurance and we have made significant progress in our direct-to-consumer lead generation and origination protocols and practices. These key factors produce a powerful origination model that we believe will deliver consistent growth and value to all of our stakeholders."
