Royal Oak Ventures Inc. ("Royal Oak" or "the company") recorded comprehensive income, which consists of net income and other comprehensive income, of $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $36.4 million over the prior year comprehensive loss of $29.5 million. This increased the company's net book value by $0.04 per common share or 22%.

The company reported net income of $7.5 million or $0.05 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $35.0 million or a loss of $0.21 per common share in the prior year. Net income for the current year included investment gains of $5.2 million (2009 - $nil) primarily from the sale of certain securities. Net income in the prior year included $18.1 million of investment losses relating to impairments of securities in the investment portfolio and a $20.2 million expense as a result of the derecognition of the future tax asset.

The company recorded an unrealized loss of $0.6 million during 2010 (2009 - gain of $5.6 million) in other comprehensive loss. The current year loss is the result of the release of $3.8 million of unrealized gains from other comprehensive income to net income on the disposition of a security, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the remaining investments in the portfolio.
