Greyvest Capital announcement

(Full text of press release from Canadian Corporate News

NOVEMBER 9, 1998
Greyvest Capital Inc. Agrees to Sell its Canadian Leasing
Operations
TORONTO, CANADA--Greyvest Capital Inc. today announced that

it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Canadian computer leasing assets and operations to Detroit-based Varilease Canada
Incorporated, which is a subsidiary of Unicapital Corporation.

The transaction is effective October 30, 1998 and is subject to closing adjustments to be finalized over the next 90 days. Proceeds of
approximately $24.5 million will be used to reduce bank indebtedness. From a financial reporting viewpoint, the Company is not anticipating any
gain or loss on this transaction as a write-down was taken in the first quarter of 1998 to cover the restructuring of its operations.

This sale represents a significant milestone for Greyvest as the Company completes its exit from the long-term computer leasing business.
Management will now focus on expanding and improving profitability of its wholly-owned and profitable computer rental operations - Vernon
Rentals & Leasing Inc.

Greyvest is committed to the ongoing process of enhancing return on its assets. Accordingly, management continues to assess other opportunities
that would generate additional value and improve shareholder returns.

Bank debt has been reduced to approximately $34 million. Total assets are approximately $100 million. There are 20,981,000 common shares
outstanding. Greyvest Capital Inc. is a leading computer rental company serving corporate clients, systems integrators and equipment resellers
across Canada and the United States.
