MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

OUR BUSINESS 
Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation (the “Corporation”) is a non-bank lender, investing 
predominantly in short-term residential and commercial real estate mortgage loans and real estate 
related debt investments.  The Corporation operates as a mortgage investment corporation under 
the Income Tax Act (Canada). Mortgage investment corporations have no income tax payable 
provided  that  they  satisfy  the  requirements  in  subsection  130.1(6)  of  the  Income  Tax  Act 
(Canada).  

The Corporation’s primary investment objective is the preservation of shareholders’ equity, while 
providing shareholders with a stable stream of dividends from the Corporation’s investments.  The 
Corporation  achieves  its  investment  objectives  by  pursuing  a  strategy  of  investing  in  loans  in 
select  niche  real  estate  markets  that  are  under-serviced  by  larger  financial  institutions.      The 
Corporation’s more specific objective is to hold an investment portfolio that:  

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) 

is widely diversified across many investments;  
is concentrated in first mortgages; 
reduces exposure as a result of participation in various loan syndicates; and  
is primarily short-term in nature.  

Firm Capital Corporation (the “Mortgage Banker”) is the Corporation’s mortgage banker and acts 
as  the  Corporation’s  loan  originator,  underwriter,  servicer,  and  syndicator.  The  Corporation’s 
affairs are administered by FC Treasury Management Inc. (the “Corporation Manager”). 

The Corporation has in place a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) and a Share Purchase Plan 
(collectively, with the DRIP, the “Plans”) that are available to its shareholders.  The Plans allow 
participants to have their monthly cash dividends reinvested in additional common shares of the 
Corporation  (“Shares”)  and  grant  participants  the  right  to  purchase  additional  Shares. 
Shareholders  who  wish  to  enroll  or  who  would  like  further  information  about  the  Plans  should 
contact Investor Relations at (416) 635-0221.  

Additional information on the Corporation, its Plans, and its investment portfolio is available on 
the Corporation’s web site at www.firmcapital.com.  Additional information about the Corporation, 
including  its  Annual  Information  Form  (“AIF”),  can  be  found  on  the  SEDAR  website  at 
www.sedar.com.  

BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
The Corporation has adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by 
the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board,  as  its  basis  of  financial  reporting.    The 
Corporation’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. 

The following discussion is dated as of March 12, 2019 and should be read in conjunction with 
the  audited  financial  statements  of  the  Corporation  and  the  notes  thereto  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, including 
the  section  on  “Risk  and  Uncertainties”,  along  with  each  of  the  quarterly  reports  for  2018  and 
2017.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

HIGHLIGHTS 
PROFIT
Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $6,097,699 as compared to $6,122,660 
for the same period in the prior year. Profit for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by 
3.7% to $25,750,696 as compared to the $24,821,438 reported for the year ended December 31, 
2017. Profit for the year ended December 31, 2017 included the recognition of a one-time special 
income on one of the Corporation’s non-conventional investments in the amount of $2,737,500. 
Total special income (other income) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017 was 
$3,072,099 compared to $331,251 for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Excluding the one-
time special income, profit for 2018 was 17% higher as compared to a normalized 2017.  

INTEREST AND FEES REVENUE 
Interest and fees revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased by 2.1% to 
$11,503,377 as compared to $11,270,747 reported for the same period in 2017. The increase is 
primarily derived from higher fee income with interest income remaining comparable as a result 
of the increase in the weighted average portfolio interest rate, being offset by a smaller average 
portfolio size.  Interest and fees revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by 
16.4% to $46,982,013 as compared to $40,351,170 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The 
increase is primarily derived from increased commitment and renewal fees plus higher interest 
income (resulting from a larger average investment portfolio in fiscal 2018 over the comparable 
2017  and  from  an  increase  in  the  weighted  average  portfolio  interest  rate)  offset  by  the  lower 
special income in 2018.  

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO  
The  Corporation’s  investment  portfolio  (the  “Investment  Portfolio”)  as  at  December  31,  2018, 
decreased by $40.6 million to $520.9 million in comparison to $561.5 million as at December 31, 
2017 (gross of impairment provision). The provision for credit losses as at December 31, 2018 
was $4.95 million (December 31, 2017 – $5.70 million).  

RETURN ON EQUITY 
The Corporation continues to exceed its yield objective of producing a return on shareholders’ 
equity in excess of 400 basis points over the average one-year Government of Canada Treasury 
bill  yield.  Profit  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  represents  an  annual  return  on 
shareholders’ equity (based on the month end average shareholders’ equity during the year) of 
9.01%,  representing  return  on  shareholders’  equity  of  707  basis  points  per  annum  over  the 
average one year Government of Canada Treasury bill yield of 1.94%.     

COMPLETION OF A CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE OFFERINGS  
On November 23, 2018, the Corporation completed a public offering of 25,000 5.50% convertible 
unsecured  subordinated  debentures  at  a  price  of  $1,000  per  debenture  for  gross  proceeds  of 
$25,000,000.  The  debentures  mature  on  January  31,  2026  and  interest  is  paid  semi-annually. 
The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to the maturity date at

unsecured  subordinated  debentures  at  a  price  of  $1,000  per  debenture  for  gross  proceeds  of

The $40.6 million decrease in the Investment Portfolio (before the provision for impairment) was 
mainly  due  to  the  decrease  in  the  size  of  the  conventional  first  and  conventional  non-first 
mortgages,  partially  offset  by  the  increase  in  the  related  investment  category  and  non-
conventional mortgages.  

Conventional  first  mortgages  decreased  by  6.6%  and  represented  76.6%  of  the  Corporation’s 
portfolio as at December 31, 2018 and 76.1% as at December 31, 2017. Conventional non-first 
mortgages decreased by 26.9% and represented 8.0% of the Investment Portfolio at December 
31, 2018 and 10.2% December 31, 2017.  Both conventional first mortgage and conventional non-
first mortgage decreases are a result of investment repayment in these categories exceeding new 
funding.  Related  investments  increased  by  0.9%  and  represented  13.5%  of  the  Corporation’s 
Investment Portfolio as at December 31, 2018 in comparison to 12.4% at December 31, 2017.

as  a  result  of  funding  new  investments  and  represented  0.9%  of  the  Investment  Portfolio  at 
December 31, 2018 and 0.3% at December 31, 2017.  

The weighted average face interest rate on the Corporation’s Investment Portfolio was 8.58% per

$5,700,000), of which $4,265,000 represents the total amount of management's estimate of the 
shortfall  between  the  investment  balances  and  the  estimated  recoverable  amount  from  the

The Corporation’s strategy is to mitigate loan loss risk by focusing on those areas of mortgage 
lending  that  have  historically  withstood  market  corrections  and  retained  their  underlying  real 
estate asset value while limiting its exposure to those real estate asset classes that do not.  

The  weighted  average  loan  to  value  ratio  on  conventional  mortgages  (being  the  combined 
conventional  first  and  conventional  non-first  mortgages)  is  approximately  60%  based  on  the 
appraisals obtained at the time of funding each mortgage loan.  

Included  in  conventional  first  mortgages  are  three  United  States  ("US")  dollar  denominated 
investments (at amortized cost) of $5,709,177 (US$4,185,000) (December 31, 2017 - $nil).  

Included  in  related  investments  (at  FVTPL)  are  two  US  dollar  denominated  investments  of 
$5,376,199  (US$3,940,917),  (December  31,  2017  -  $5,958,875  (US$4,750,000)).  These 
investments  are  a  participation  by  the  Corporation  in  limited  partnerships  that  have  provided 
preferred equity to real estate entities in the US. Income recorded on this investment during the 
year ended December 31, 2018 was $730,633 (US$562,948), (December 31, 2017 – $71,267 
(US$55,896) and are included in interest and fees income.   

With respect to loans with no provision, the Investment Portfolio as at December 31, 2018 had 
two investments with balances totaling $1,474,000 (December 31, 2017 – two investments with 
balances  totaling  $2,361,437)  with  contractual  interest  arrears  greater  than  60  days  past  due 
amounting to $48,727 (December 31, 2017 – $35,188).  Management has determined there to be 
no impairment requiring a provision (December 31, 2017 – $nil).  

The  Investment  Portfolio  as  at  December  31,  2018  includes  thirteen  investments  totaling 
$19,735,486 (December 31, 2017 – six investments of $28,901,947) with maturity dates that are 
past due and for which no extension or renewal was in place. Four of the thirteen investments 
were paid out during the first quarter of 2019, reducing the balance by $4,076,794, and additional 
four investments totaling $10,629,767 (December 31, 2017 – three investments of $12,918,805) 
have  a  provision  against  them  included  in  the  Corporation’s  provision  for  impairment.  The 
remaining five investments with maturity dates that are past due, and for which no extension or 
renewal  was  in  place,  totaling  $5,028,925  (December  31,  2017  –  three  investments  of 
$15,983,142), are considered not to require a provision.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

As at December 31, 2018, the Investment Portfolio continued to be heavily concentrated in short-
term investments with 74.2% of the portfolio maturing by December 31, 2019 and 97.0% maturing 
on or before December 31, 2020. The short-term nature of the portfolio provides the Corporation 
with the ability to continually revolve the portfolio and adapt to changes in the real estate market.

A significant number of the Corporation’s investments are shared with other syndicate partners 
including several members of the Board of Directors and senior  management of the Mortgage 
Banker and/or officers and directors of the Corporation. The Corporation ranks equally with other 
members of the syndicate as to receipt of principal, interest, and fees. As at December 31, 2018, 
205 of the Corporation’s 231 investments (investment amount of $500,624,695) are shared with 
other participants, and for 38 of which (investment amount of $140,454,938) the Corporation is a 
participant for less than 50 percent of the loan amount.  

Certain members of the Board of Directors and senior management and their related entities co-
invested  approximately  $80  million  with  the  Corporation  alongside  its  December  31,  2018 
portfolio.  

The Mortgage Banker services the entire investment in which the Corporation is a participant, on 
behalf  of  all  participants  and  except  for  the  case  of  investments  with  a  first  priority  syndicate 
participant  (i.e.  Loans  Payable),  the  Corporation  ranks  equally  with  other  members  of  the 
syndicate as to receipt of principal, interest, and fees. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
INTEREST AND FEES AND OTHER INCOME  
For  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2018,  interest  and  fees  and  other  income  earned 
increased by approximately 2% to $11,528,868 compared to $11,333,133 for the three months 
ended December 31, 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2018 the average interest was greater, 
but the average size of the investment portfolio was lower as compared to the fourth quarter of 
2017.    For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  interest  and  fees  and  other  income  earned 
increased  by  9%  to  $47,313,264  compared  to  $43,423,269  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2017. During 2018, the average size of the Investment Portfolio and average interest rates were 
greater than during 2017.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 interest income was $10,623,533, a decrease of 
1% from $10,741,397 as reported for the comparable period 2017. For the year ended December 
31, 2018 interest income was $44,466,299, an increase of 15% from $38,519,968 as reported for 
2017. The increase in interest income is a result of the Corporation generating a higher average 
interest rate on the Investment Portfolio and holding a larger average Investment Portfolio over 
2017. However, the portfolio declined due to higher discharges towards the end of 2018, resulting 
in a lower December 31, 2018 balance than December 31, 2017. For the three months ended 
December  31,  2018  and  2017,  interest  income  represents  92%  and  93%  of  the  Corporation’s 
revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, interest income, for 
both years, represents 94% of the Corporation’s revenues. 

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, commitment and renewal fees were $879,844, 
an increase of 66% from $529,350 reported in the prior comparable period. For the year ended 
December 31, 2018, commitment and renewal fees were $2,515,714, an increase of 37% from 
$1,831,202 for the year ended December 31, 2017. As at December 31, 2018, the Corporation 
had  deferred  commitment  fee  revenue  of  $795,486  (December  31,  2017  –  $910,822).  The 
Corporation’s  policy  is  to  recognize  commitment  fees  over  the  term  of  the  related  loan.    The 
unrecognized  component  of  the  fees  is  recorded  as  deferred  revenue  on  the  Corporation’s 
balance sheet. These fees have been received and are not refundable to borrowers.   

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, other income was $25,491 a decrease of 59% 
from $62,386 as reported for the three months ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended 
December 31, 2018, other income was $331,251 a decrease of 89% from $3,072,099 as reported 
for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017.    The  first  quarter  of  2017  included  the  recognition  of 
special income in the amount of $2,737,500, earned on one of the Corporation’s non-conventional 
special investments. Other income relates to certain fees and interest generated from a number 
of the Corporation’s non-conventional mortgages and the timing of earning of such income is not 
necessarily consistent in each period. The timing of the recognition and collection of other income 
is  difficult  to  predict  and  the  collection  of  a  particular  amount  is  not  a  reflection  of  the  future 
collection of such income. Non-conventional mortgage investments can attract higher loss risk

due  to  their  subordinate  ranking  to  other  mortgage  charges  and/or  high  loan  to  value  ratio. 
Consequently, this higher risk is  compensated for by a higher rate of return.  The Corporation 
remains very selective in cautiously sourcing high yielding, non-conventional mortgages that meet 
the Corporation’s investment criteria.  

CORPORATION MANAGER SPREAD INTEREST ALLOCATION 
The Corporation Manager, through an interest spread arrangement, received for the three months 
ended December 31, 2018 $993,850 (2017 – $992,162).  For the year ended December 31, 2018, 
the spread interest amounted to $3,932,134 (2017 – $3,639,094), as the Corporation’s average 
Investment Portfolio over the year was larger in comparison to 2017.    

INTEREST EXPENSE 
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, interest expense increased by 2% to $3,672,297 
as compared to $3,588,973 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended 
December  31,  2018,  interest  expense  increased  by  13%  to  $14,908,334  as  compared  to 
$13,223,349  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017.    Interest  expense  is  higher  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2018 when compared to the previous year, as a result of the Corporation 
having  a  larger  average  loans  payable  amount  and  convertible  debentures  outstanding,  which 
was partly offset by a reduction in the overall bank indebtedness balance during 2018.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

THE  PROVISION  FOR  IMPAIRMENT  ON  INVESTMENT  PORTFOLIO  AND  INTEREST 
RECEIVABLE
The provision for impairment for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $455,497 (2017 
– $388,000) and for the year ended  December 31, 2018 was $1,667,325 (2017 – $1,240,000)
Further details are described in the Provision for Impairment section. 

INCOME & PROFIT (“PROFIT”)  
Profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was reported at $6,097,699 as compared 
to $6,122,660 for the same period in the prior year which represents a decrease of 0.4%. Profit 
for the year ended December 31, 2018 was reported at $25,750,696 which represents an increase 
of 3.7% in comparison to the $24,821,438 for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Profit  for  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2018  represented  an  annualized  return  on 
shareholders’  equity  (based  on  the  month  end  average  shareholders’  equity  in  the  quarter)  of 
8.50%.    This  return  on  shareholders’  equity  represents  656  basis  points  per  annum  over  the 
average one-year Government of Canada Treasury bill yield of 1.94% and is well in excess of the 
Corporation’s stated target yield objective of 400 basis points per annum over the average one-
year  Government  of  Canada  Treasury  bill  yield.    For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  the 
annual  return  on  shareholders’  equity  (based  on  the  month  end  average  shareholders’  equity 
during  the  year)  is  9.01%,  and  707  basis  points  over  the  one-year  Government  of  Canada 
Treasury bill yield of 1.94%.  The above return on shareholders’ equity is a non-IFRS financial 
measure  and  does  not  have  any  standardized  meaning  prescribed  by  IFRS  and  is  therefore 
unlikely  to  be  comparable  to  similar  measures  presented  by  other  issuers.  This  non-IFRS 
measure provides useful information to the Corporation’s shareholders as it provides a measure 
of return generated on the Corporation’s equity base.  

TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Corporation has invested in units and debentures of publicly traded real estate investment 
trusts.  Upon  the  adoption  of  IFRS  9  on  January  1,  2018  the  Corporation  classifies  these 
investments  at  FVTPL  and  any  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  marketable  securities  and 
debenture portfolio are reflected in the statement of income.  

The  change  in  fair  value  of  marketable  securities  and  debenture  investments  reclassified  to 
income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $nil (2017 – $135,362).  The realized 
gains on disposal of marketable securities and debenture investments reclassified to income for 
the year ended December 31, 2018 were $nil compared (2017 – $458,435).  

PROFIT PER SHARE 
Basic weighted average profit per share for the three months ended December 31, 2018, was 
$0.233,  which  is  0.9%  lower  than  the  $0.235  per  share  reported  for  the  three  months  ended 
December 31, 2017. Basic weighted average profit per share for the year ended December 31, 
2018, was $0.986, which is 3.2% lower than the $1.019 per share reported for the year ended 
December 31, 2017. Profit for the year ended December 31, 2017, included the recognition of a 
one-time special income on one of the Corporation’s non-conventional investments in the amount 
of  $2,737,500.  Total  special  income  (other  income)  that  was  recorded  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017 amounted to $3,072,099 compared to $331,251 for the year ended December 
31, 2018.

include interest payable of $1,379,501 and accrued liabilities of $639,005. 

Deferred  revenue  is  comprised  of  commitment  fees  generated  on  the  Corporation’s  mortgage 
investments  and  interest  income  received  in  advance.  As  at  December  31,  2018,  the  portion 
related  to  commitment  fees  was  $795,485  (December  31,  2017  –  $910,821)  and  the  portion 
related  to  interest  income  was  $383,735  (December  31,  2017  –  $383,735).  The  Corporation’s 
policy  is  to  recognize  commitment  fees  over  the  term  of  the  related  loan.    The  unrecognized 
component of the fees is recorded as deferred revenue on the Corporation’s balance sheet.  

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY 
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 totaled $286,107,978 compared to $284,040,422 as 
at  December  31,  2017.  The  Corporation  had  26,143,544  shares  issued  and  outstanding  as  at 
December 31, 2018 compared to 26,064,310 as at December 31, 2017. The increase in shares 
is attributable to shares issued as part of the At-The-Market (“ATM”) share issue program and 
shares issued under the dividend reinvestment plan and stock option plan.  

PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT 
Investments consist of participation in mortgage loans and real estate related debt investments.  
Such  investments  are  recognized  initially  at  fair  value  plus  any  directly  attributable  transaction 
costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition, the investments are measured at amortized cost using 
the  effective  interest  method,  less  any  provision  for  impairment.  The  Company  assesses 
individually significant investments at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective 
evidence of impairment. The provision for impairment in respect of the investments measured at 
amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the amount of the 
future cash flows estimated to be recovered on the loan security. Estimates and assumptions are 
made as to the gross sale proceeds that would be generated on the forced sale of the real property

securing the related mortgage loan and reflect estimates of the current local market conditions. 
Estimates are made as to the costs of enforcing under the mortgage loan and of realizing on the 
real property.  In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount 
and timing of future cash flows when determining the provision for impairment. These estimates 
are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in 
future changes to the provision.  Changes in the provision for impairment are recognized in the 
statement of income and reflected in the provision for impairment against the investments. Interest 
on the impaired asset continues to be recognized to the extent it is deemed to be collectible.

The  loans  comprising  the  Investment  Portfolio  are  stated  at  amortized  cost  and  FVTPL.  The 
provision for impairment is $4,950,000 as at December 31, 2018, of which $4,265,000 represents 
the total amount of management's estimate of the shortfall between the investment balances and 
the estimated recoverable amount from the security under the specific loans in default.  

The Corporation also assessed collectively for impairment to identify potential future losses, by 
grouping the Investment Portfolio with similar risk characteristics to determine whether a collective 
provision should be recorded due to loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose 
effects are not yet evident. Based on the amounts determined by the analysis, the Corporation 
used judgement to determine the amounts calculated. As at December 31, 2018, the Corporation 
carries a collective provision of $685,000 (December 31, 2017 – $400,000).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 
Transactions with related parties are in the normal course of business and are recorded at the 
exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related 
parties and are measured at fair value. 

The  Corporation's  Manager  (a  company  related  to  certain  officers  and/or  directors  of  the 
Corporation)  receives  an  allocation  of  interest,  referred  to  as  the  Corporation  Manager  spread 
interest,  calculated  at  0.75%  per  annum  of  the  Corporation's  daily  outstanding  performing 
investment balances. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, this amount was $993,850 
(December  31,  2017  -  $992,162).  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  this  amount  was 
$3,932,134 (2017 - $3,638,094). Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 
31, 2018 are amounts payable to the Corporation's Manager of $314,105 (December 31, 2017 - 
$341,367). 

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the total directors' fees expensed was $91,000 
(2017 - $71,000). For the year ended December 31, 2018, the total directors' fees expensed were 
$304,000 (2017 - $272,333). Key management personnel are also directors of the Corporation 
and receive compensation from the Corporation's Manager.  The Directors held 492,837 shares 
in the Corporation as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 - 481,768).  

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 the Corporation did not grant any options (2017 
– nil) under the incentive options plan.  For the year ended December 31, 2018 the Corporation 
did not grant any options (2017 – 70,000).   

The Mortgage Banker (a company related to officers and/or directors of the Corporation)  receives 
certain fees from the borrowers as follows:  loan servicing fees equal to 0.10% per annum on the 
principal  amount  of  each  of  the  Corporation's  investments;  75%  of  all  of  the  commitment  and 
renewal fees generated from the Corporation's investments; and 25% of all of the special profit 
income generated from the non-conventional investments after the Corporation has yielded a 10% 
per annum return on its investments.  Interest and fee income of the Corporation is net of the loan 
servicing  fees  paid  to  the  Mortgage  Banker  of  approximately  $524,000  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018 (2017 - $485,000) and approximately $133,000 for the three months ended 
December  31,  2018  (2017  -  $132,000).  The  Mortgage  Banker  also  retains  all  overnight  float 
interest and incidental fees and charges payable by borrowers on the Corporation's investments.  

The Corporation Management Agreement and Mortgage Banking Agreement contain provisions 
for the payment of termination fees to the Corporation Manager and Mortgage Banker in the event 
that the respective agreements are either terminated or not renewed. 

A  significant  number  of  the  Corporation’s  investments  are  shared  with  other  investors  of  the 
Mortgage Banker, which may include members of management of the Mortgage Banker and/or 
officers or directors of the Corporation. The Corporation ranks equally with other members of the 
syndicate as to receipt of principal and income. 

During the first quarter of 2018, the two mortgage investments totaling $1,400,000 (December 31, 
2017- two mortgage investments totaling $1,400,000) that were issued to a borrower controlled 
by an independent director of the Corporation were fully repaid.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The  Corporation  holds  a  mortgage  investment  totaling  $5,148,000  at  December  31,  2018 
(classified as discounted debt investment) that originated from the purchase of a mortgage loan 
from  a  Schedule  1  bank  at  a  discount  to  its  original  principal  balance  (December  31,  2017  - 
$4,985,500).  The Corporation’s investment is by way of a participation in a mortgage loan to the 
entity that took title to the real estate following the completion of the enforcement foreclosure that 
occurred after the purchase of the underlying Schedule 1 bank mortgage. The Corporation is a 
pari passu participant in the mortgage, having the same rights as all other participants in the loan. 
The  entity  that  holds  title  to  the  real  estate  as  agent  is  related  to  the  other  participants  in  the 
mortgage loan investment, including entities related to certain directors of the Corporation, and 
for  this  reason,  the  borrower  is  classified  as  a  related  party.  For  the  three  and  twelve  months 
ended  December  31,  2018,  the  Corporation  recognized  interest  and  fees  earned  of  $nil 
(December 31, 2017 - $nil) from this investment. The impairment provision recorded on this loan 
was $860,000 as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 - $1,180,000).  Recoveries under 
the investment resulting from the sale of the secured real estate will be treated the same as for 
all non-conventional mortgage investments held by the Corporation.  

Aggregate  compensation  paid  to  key  management  personnel  (including  payments  to  related 
parties for their recovery of overhead costs), all consisting of short-term employee compensation, 
was $548,799 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 (2017 - $542,482) and for the year 
ended  December  31,  2018  $2,196,744  (2017  –  $2,083,453),  all  of  which  was  paid  by  the 
Corporation's Manager and not by the Corporation. 

Related party transactions are further discussed and detailed in the Corporation’s AIF and in Note 
13 of the accompanying financial statements. 

INCOME TAXES 
The Corporation qualifies as a mortgage investment corporation within the meaning of the Income 
Tax Act (Canada).  As such, the Corporation is entitled to deduct from its taxable income dividends 
paid to shareholders during the year or within the first 90 days of the following taxation year.  In 
order  to  maintain  its  status  as  a  mortgage  investment  corporation,  the  Corporation  must 
continually meet all criteria enumerated in the relevant section of the Income Tax Act (Canada) 
throughout  such  taxation  year.    The  Corporation  intends  to  maintain  its  status  as  a  mortgage 
investment corporation and intends to distribute sufficient dividends in the year and in future years 
to  ensure  that  the  Corporation  has  no  tax  payable  under  the  Income  Tax  Act  (Canada).   
Accordingly, for financial statement reporting purposes, the tax deductibility of the Corporation’s 
dividends results in the Corporation being effectively exempt from taxation and no provision for 
current or deferred income taxes is required. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 
The determination of the impairment provision for the Investment Portfolio is a critical accounting 
estimate.   

The Investment Portfolio is classified as loans and receivables.  Such investments are recognized 
initially  at  fair  value  plus  any  directly  attributable  transaction  costs.    Subsequent  to  initial 
recognition,  the  mortgage  loans  are  measured  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest 
method, less any impairment losses.  The investments are assessed at each reporting date to 
determine  an  impairment  provision.  Losses  are  recognized  in  the  statement  of  income  and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

reflected in the provision account against the mortgage investments.  When a subsequent event 
causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed 
through  income  or  profit.    Management  is  required  to  consider  the  estimated  future  cash  flow 
recovery  from  the  collateral  securing  the  mortgage  investments.    The  estimation  of  cash  flow 
recovery is performed on an individual mortgage basis and is based on assumptions pertinent to 
each mortgage investment.  Each mortgage analysis often has unique factors that are considered 
in determining the cash flow and realizable value of the underlying security.  The estimates are 
based on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are responsible 
and appropriate in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.   

In addition to those estimates, assumptions and judgements listed in the consolidated financial 
statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Corporation has identified new judgement 
areas as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 as follows: 

CLASSIFICATION & MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS 
Mortgage investments and other loans are classified based on the business model for managing 
assets  and  the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  asset.  The  Corporation  exercises 
judgment in determining both the business model for managing the assets and whether cash flows 
comprise solely of principal and interest. 

MEASUREMENT OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS 
The expected credit loss model requires the recognition of credit losses based on 12 months of 
expected losses for performing loans and recognition of lifetime losses on performing loans that 
have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination. 

The determination of a significant increase in credit risk takes into account different factors and 
varies by nature of investment. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset 
has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due as well as other criteria, such as 
watch list status and changes in weighted probability of default since origination. 

The  assessment  of  significant  increase  in  credit  risk  requires  experienced  credit  judgment.  In 
determining  whether  there  has  been  a  significant  increase  in  credit  risk  and  in  calculating  the 
amount of expected credit losses, the Corporation must rely on estimates and exercise judgment 
regarding matters for which the ultimate outcome is unknown. These judgments include changes 
in circumstances that may cause future assessments of credit risk to be materially different from 
current  assessments,  which  could  require  an  increase  or  decrease  in  the  provision  for  credit 
losses. 

The calculation of expected credit losses includes the explicit incorporation of forecasts of future 
economic inputs, such as house price indices.   

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
The  fair  values  of  amounts  receivable  and  prepaid  expenses,  bank  indebtedness,  accounts 
payable  and  accrued  liabilities,  and  shareholder  dividends  payable  approximate  their  carrying 
values due to their short-term maturities. 

Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation • 2018 • Fourth Quarter          Page 17 

18  Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation ● 2018 ● Annual Report

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The fair value of the Investment Portfolio approximates its carrying value as the majority of the 
loans are fully open for repayment at any time without penalty and have floating interest rates. 
There is no quoted price in an active market for the mortgage and loan investments or mortgage 
syndication  liabilities.  Management  makes  its  determinations  of  fair  value  based  on  its 
assessment of the current lending market for mortgage and loan investments of same or similar 
terms. As a result, the fair value of mortgage and loan investments is based on Level 3 on the fair 
value hierarchy. 

The fair values of loans payable approximate their carrying values due to the fact that the majority 
of the loans are: (i) repayable in full, at any time, upon the repayment of the underlying loan that 
secures the loan payable, and (ii) have floating interest rates linked to bank prime. 

The fair value of convertible debentures, including their conversion option, has been determined 
based on the closing price of the debentures of the Corporation on the Toronto Stock Exchange 
for the respective date. 

The fair value of the debenture portfolio investment has been determined based on the closing 
price  of  convertible  debenture  securities  of  the  respective  listed  entities  on  the  Toronto  Stock 
Exchange for the respective date. 

The fair value of marketable securities has been determined based on the closing price of the 
security of the respective listed entities on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the respective date. 
The fair value of loans on the debenture portfolio approximates its carrying value due to the fact 
that it is fully open for repayment and has a floating rate of interest. 

The  tables  in  note  16  of  the  financial  statements  present  the  fair  values  of  the  Corporation's 
financial instruments as at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. It does not include fair 
value  information  for  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  not  measured  at  fair  value  if  the 
carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
As  a  result  of  the  Corporation’s  intent  to  qualify  as  a  mortgage  investment  corporation,  the 
Corporation  intends  to  distribute  no  less  than  100%  of  the  taxable  income  of  the  Corporation, 
determined in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada), to its shareholders. The result is 
that  growth  in  the  Investment  Portfolio  can  only  be  achieved  through  the  raising  of  additional 
equity,  issuing  debt,  and  utilizing  available  borrowing  capacity.  As  at  December  31,  2018,  the 
Corporation  had  not  utilized  its  full  leverage  availability,  being  a  maximum  of  50%  of  its  first 
mortgage  investments.  Unadvanced  committed  funds  under  the  existing  Investment  Portfolio 
amounted  to  $89  million  as  at  December  31,  2018  (December  31,  2017  -  $91  million).  These 
commitments  are  anticipated  to  be  funded  from  the  Corporation’s  credit  facility  and  borrower 
repayments under the Investment Portfolio.  The Corporation has a revolving line of credit with its 
principal  banker  to  fund  the  timing  differences  between  mortgage  advances  and  mortgage 
repayments.  There  are  limitations  in  the  availability  of  funds  under  the  revolving  line  of  credit, 
which  is  made  up  of  a  committed  component  and  a  demand  component.  The  Corporation’s 
investments  are  predominantly  short-term  in  nature,  and  as  such,  the  continual  repayment  by 
borrowers of existing mortgage investments creates liquidity for ongoing investments and funding 
commitments.   

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 
The Corporation follows investment guidelines and operating policies. The Board of Directors, in 
its discretion, may amend or approve investments that exceed these guidelines and policies as 
investments  are  made.    These  policies  govern  such  matters  as:  (i)  restricting  exposure  per 
mortgage  investment;  (ii)  requirements  for  director  approvals;  and  (iii)  implementation  of 
operational risk management policies. 

The  Corporation’s  directors  take  an  active  role  in  approving  each  and  every  investment  the 
Corporation makes. During fiscal year 2018, 170 investment approvals were sent to the Board of 
Directors (2017 – 141). The Corporation shall not make an investment, which exceeds $1 million, 
unless approved by no less than three of the Independent Directors. 

The Corporation is faced with the following ongoing risk factors, among others, that would affect 
shareholders’ equity and the Corporation’s ability to generate returns.  A greater discussion of risk 
factors that affect the Corporation are included in the AIF under the section “Risk Factors”, which 
section is incorporated herein by reference. 

  Economic conditions that would result in a significant decline in real estate values and corresponding 

loan losses. 

  Under  various  federal,  provincial  and  municipal  laws,  an  owner  or  operator  of  real  property  could 
become liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released 
on  or  in  its  properties  or  disposed  of  at  other  locations.    The  existence  of  such  liability  can  have  a 
negative impact on the value of the underlying real property securing a mortgage.  The Corporation 
does  not  own  the  real  property  securing  its  Investment  Portfolio  and  thus  would  not  attract  the 
environmental liability that an owner would be exposed to.  In rare circumstances where a mortgage is 
in  default,  the  Corporation  may  take  possession  of  real  property  and  may  become  liable  for 
environmental issues as a mortgagee in possession.  The Corporation obtains phase 1 environmental 
reports for mortgages where the Mortgage Banker determines that such reports would be prudent given 
the nature of the underlying property.   

  The inability to obtain borrowings and leverage, thus reducing yield enhancement.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

  Dependence  on  the  Corporation  Manager  and  Mortgage  Banker.    The  Corporation’s  earnings  are 
impacted by the Mortgage Banker’s ability to source and generate appropriate investments that provide 
sufficient yields while maintaining pre-determined risk parameters.  The Corporation has also entered 
into long-term contracts with the Mortgage Banker and the Corporation Manager, as more particularly 
described in the AIF.  The Corporation is exposed to adverse developments in the business and affairs 
of the Corporation Manager and Mortgage Banker, since the day to day activities of the Corporation 
are run by the Corporation Manager and since all of the Corporation’s investments are originated by 
the Mortgage Banker. 

  Portfolio  face  rate  fluctuations.  The  interest  rate  earned  on  the  Corporation’s  Investment  Portfolio 
fluctuates given that (i) it continually revolves given that it is short term in nature; and (ii) the portfolio 
is predominately floating rate interest with floors.   
Interest rate risk.  The Corporation’s operating loan is floating rate and an increase in short term rates 
would increase the Corporation’s cost of borrowing.    

 

  No  guaranteed  return.    There  is  no  guarantee  as  to  the  return  that  an  investment  in  Shares  of  the 

Corporation will earn. 

  Qualification as a Mortgage Investment Corporation. Although the Corporation intends to qualify at all 
times as a mortgage investment corporation, no assurance can be provided in this regard. If for any 
reason the Corporation does not maintain its qualification as a mortgage investment corporation under 
the  Tax  Act,  dividends  paid  by  the  Corporation  on  the  Shares  will  cease  to  be  deductible  by  the 
Corporation in computing its income and will no longer be deemed by the rules in the Tax Act that apply 
to  mortgage  investment  corporations  to  have  been  received  by  shareholders  as  bond  interest  or  a 
capital gain, as the case may be. In consequence, the rules in the Tax Act regarding the taxation of 
public corporations and their shareholders should apply, with the result that the combined corporate 
and shareholder tax may be significantly greater.  

  Availability  of  investments.    Our  ability  to  make  investments  in  accordance  with  our  objectives  and 
investment  policies depends upon the availability of suitable investments and the general economy 
and marketplace.  Increased competition in the lending market place in which the Corporation operates 
from chartered banks or other public or private lending entities may impact the availability of suitable 
investments and achievable investment yields for the Corporation. 

  Limited sources of borrowing. The Canadian financial marketplace is characterized as having a limited 
number of financial institutions that provide credit to entities such as ours. The limited availability of 
sources of credit may limit our ability to obtain additional leverage, if required.  

  Liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations 
as they come due. The Corporation’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, to the extent 
possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they come due, under both 
normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring  unacceptable  losses  or  risking  damage  to  the 
Corporation’s credit worthiness. The Corporation manages liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from 
operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. If the Corporation is unable to continue to 
have access to its loans and mortgages syndications and revolving operating facility, the size of the 
Corporation’s  loan  and  mortgage  investments  will  decrease  and  the  income  historically  generated 
through holding larger investments by utilizing leverage will not be earned. 

  Demand loan bank indebtedness. A significant component of the Corporation’s bank indebtedness is 

in the form of a demand facility, repayment of which can be demanded by the bank at any time. 
  Specific  investment  risk  for  non-conventional  mortgage  and  second  mortgage  investments.    Non-
conventional and second mortgage investments attract higher loan loss risk due to their subordinate 
ranking to other mortgage charges and sometimes high loan to value ratio. Consequently, this higher 
risk  is  compensated  for  by  a  higher  rate  of  return.    In  order  to  mitigate  risk  and  maintain  a  well-
diversified Investment Portfolio, the operating policies of the Corporation generally limit the amount of 
Conventional  Non-First  Mortgage  investments  to  a  maximum  of  30%  of  the  Corporation’s  capital, 
subject to the Board of Directors’ approval for any modifications to the operating policies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

  Reliance on Borrowers.  After the funding of an investment, we rely on borrowers to maintain adequate 
insurance and proper adherence to environmental regulations during the ongoing management of their 
properties.

  Credit Risk. The Investment Portfolio is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty 
to a financial investment will fail to fulfill its obligations or Commitment, resulting in a financial loss to 
the corporation.

  Change  in  Legislation.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  certain  laws  applicable  to  the  Corporation, 
including  Canadian  federal  and  provincial  tax  legislation,  commodity  and  sales  tax  legislation,  tax 
proposals,  other  governmental  policies  or  regulations  and  governmental,  administrative  or  judicial 
interpretation  thereof,  will  not  change  in  a  manner  that  will  adversely  affect  the  Corporation  or 
fundamentally alter the tax consequences to shareholders acquiring, holding or disposing of Shares. 
  Currency  risk.  Currency  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  the  Corporation's 
foreign  currency-denominated  investments  and  cash  and  cash  equivalents  will  fluctuate  based  on 
changes  in foreign  currency  exchange  rates.    Consequently,  the  Corporation  is  subject  to  currency 
fluctuations that may impact its financial position and results of operations. The Corporation manages 
its  currency  risk  on  its  investments  by  borrowing  the  same  amount  as  the  investment  in  the  same 
currency.  As a result, a change in exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will not 
change the net income and comprehensive income and equity. As a result, a change in exchange rate 
of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will not result in a material change to the net income and 
comprehensive income and equity.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT 
On March 1, 2019, the Corporation completed an equity offering of 1,520,000 common shares at 
a price of $13.20 per share for gross proceeds of $20,064,000. The over-allotment option was 
exercised in full and the Corporation issued an additional 228,000 shares at a price of $13.20 per 
share for gross proceeds of $3,009,600. The total shares issued was 1,748,000.  

RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
Management  is  responsible  for  the  information  disclosed  in  this  MD&A,  and  has  in  place  the 
appropriate information systems, procedures, and controls to ensure that the information used 
internally by management and disclosed externally is complete, reliable, and timely. In addition, 
the Corporation’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors provide an oversight role with respect 
to all public financial disclosures by the Corporation, and have reviewed and approved this MD&A 
as well as the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at December 
31, 2018 and 2017. 

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 
The Corporation maintains appropriate information systems, procedures, and controls to ensure 
that  information  disclosed  externally  is  complete,  reliable,  and  timely.  The  Corporation’s  Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, or caused an evaluation under their direct 
supervision  of,  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  the  Corporation’s  disclosure  controls 
and procedures (as defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ 
Annual  and  Interim  Filings)  as  at  December  31,  2017  and  December  31,  2018  and  have 
concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were appropriately designed and were 
operating effectively.  

The Corporation has also established adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide 
reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  the  Corporation’s  financial  reporting  and  the 
preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS for periods

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

effective  January  1,  2010.  The  Corporation’s  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief  Financial 
Officer  assessed,  or  caused  an  assessment  under  their  direct  supervision  of,  the  design  and 
operating effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined 
in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) 
as at December 31, 2018. Based on that assessment, it was determined that the Corporation’s 
internal  controls  over  financial  reporting  were  appropriately  designed  and  were  operating 
effectively.  

The Corporation did not make any changes to the design of the Corporation’s internal controls 
over financial reporting period ended December 31, 2018 that would have materially affected, or 
would be reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal controls over financial 
reporting.  

It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide 
only  reasonable,  not  absolute,  assurance  that  the  objectives  of  the  control  system  are  met. 
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide 
absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 
These inherent limitations include, among other items: (i) that management’s assumptions and 
judgments could ultimately prove to be incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) 
the impact of any undetected errors; and (iii) controls may be circumvented by the unauthorized 
acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override. The design 
of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of 
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated 
goals under all potential future conditions.  

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION 
Certain  information  included  in  this  MD&A  contains  forward-looking  statements  within  the 
meaning of applicable securities laws including, among others, statements concerning our 2018 
objectives and our strategies to achieve those objectives, as well as statements with respect to 
management’s beliefs, estimates, and intentions, and similar statements concerning anticipated 
future events, results, circumstances, performance, or expectations that are not historical facts.  
Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology 
such  as  “outlook”,  “objective”,  “may”,  “will”,  “expect”,  “intent”,  “estimate”,  “anticipate”,  “believe”, 
“should”,  “plans”,  or  “continue”,  or  similar  expressions  suggesting  future  outcomes  or  events.  
Such  forward-looking  statements  reflect  management’s  current  beliefs  and  are  based  on 
information currently available to management. 

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on our estimates and 
assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described below in this 
MD&A  under  Risks  and  Uncertainties,  which  could  cause  our  actual  results  to  differ materially 
from  the  forward-looking  statements  contained  in  this  MD&A.    Those  risks  and  uncertainties 
include  risks  associated  with  mortgage  lending,  competition  for  mortgage  lending,  real  estate 
values, interest rate fluctuations, environmental matters, and shareholder liability.  Material factors 
or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set out in the 
forward-looking information include the assumption that there is not a significant decline in the 
value  of  the  general  real  estate  market;  market  interest  rates  remain  relatively  stable;  the 
Corporation is generally able to sustain the size of its Investment Portfolio; adequate investment

opportunities are presented to the Corporation; and adequate bank indebtedness are available to 
the Corporation.   Although the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is based upon 
what management believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual 
results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. 

All forward-looking statements in this MD&A are qualified by these cautionary statements.  Except 
as  required  by  applicable  law,  the  Corporation  undertakes  no  obligation  to  publicly  update  or 
revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or 
otherwise. 

OUTLOOK 
The Corporation will continue to focus on disciplined investment decisions, risk management and 
exit strategies, keeping in mind the significant historical increase in real estate valuations in certain 
geographical and asset segments.  

This approach could result in a decrease in the Corporation’s Investment Portfolio if repayments 
exceed new investments. The impact of this can be mitigated with higher interest rates on new 
investments and taking larger portions of investments.

Building Relationshipstoday and tomorrowINDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation 
(the “Entity”), which comprise:

the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2018 and 2017
the consolidated statements of income for the years then ended
the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years then ended
the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the years then ended
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
•  and  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 

policies

(Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”).

In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
consolidated balance sheets of the Entity as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial 
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) .

Basis for Opinion

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing  standards .  Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit 
of the Financial Statements” section of our auditors’ report .

We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit 
of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with these requirements . 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion .

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information . Other information comprises:

• 

• 

the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant Canadian 
Securities Commissions .
the  information,  other  than  the  financial  statements  and  the  auditors’  report  thereon,  included  in  a 
document likely to be entitled “Glossy Annual Report” .

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon .

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit and remain alert for indications that the other 
information appears to be materially misstated .

26  Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation ● 2018 ● Annual Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

We  obtained  the  information  included  in  Management’s  Discussion  and Analysis  filed  with  the  relevant 
Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors’ report . If, based on the work we have 
performed  on  this  other  information,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors’ report .

We have nothing to report in this regard .

The  information,  other  than  the  financial  statements  and  the  auditors’  report  thereon,  included  in  a 
document likely to be entitled “Glossy Annual Report” is expected to be made available to us after the date 
of this auditors report . If, based on the work we will perform on this information, we conclude that there is 
a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with 
governance .

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  statements  in 
accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS),  and  for  such  internal  control  as 
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error .

In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Entity’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the 
going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so .

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes 
our opinion .

Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit  conducted  in 
accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists .

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, 
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the 
financial statements.

As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  Canadian  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  we  exercise 
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit .

We also:

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud 
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

•  The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control .

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(in Canadian dollars)

1.

Organization of Corporation:

Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Corporation"), through its mortgage banker, Firm Capital Corporation (the "Mortgage
Banker), is a non-bank lender providing primarily residential and commercial short-term bridge and conventional real estate financing,
including construction, mezzanine, and equity investments. The shares of the Corporation are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange
under the symbol "FC". The Corporation is a Canadian mortgage investment corporation and the registered office of the Corporation is
163 Cartwright Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M6A 1V5. FC Treasury Management Inc. is the Corporation's manager (the "Corporation
Manager").  The Corporation was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Ontario on October 22, 2010.

2.

(a)

Basis of presentation:

Statement of compliance:

The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2019.

These consolidated financial statements include the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments effective January 1, 2018, without 
restatement of comparative periods.  Significant changes to accounting policies are described in note 3(a).

(b)

Basis of measurement:

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through 
profit or loss ("FVTPL") which are measured at fair value at each reporting date.

(c)

Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Corporation and its subsidiaries which includes FC Finance 
Trust. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Corporation obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the 
date that such control ceases. Control exists when the Corporation has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and 
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon 
consolidation.

(d)

Functional and presentation currency:

These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation's functional currency.

(e)

Critical estimates and judgements:

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues 
and expenses during the year.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal 
analysis as required.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which estimates are revised.  Those estimates and 
judgements have been applied in a manner consistent with previous years and there are no known trends, commitments, events or 
uncertainties that management believes will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in making those estimates and 
judgements in these audited financial statements. The significant estimates and judgements used in determining the recorded amount for 
assets and liabilities in the financial statements are as follows:

Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(in Canadian dollars)

Provision for impairment - The most significant estimates that the Corporation is required to make relate to the impairment of the 
investments (notes 3(a) and 6).  These estimates include assumptions regarding local real estate market conditions, interest rates and the 
availability of credit, cost and terms of financing, the impact of present or future legislation or regulation, prior encumbrances, adverse 
changes in the payment status of borrowers, and other factors affecting the investments and underlying security of the investments.  
These assumptions are limited by the availability of reliable comparable data, economic uncertainty, ongoing geopolitical concerns, and 
the uncertainty of predictions concerning future events. Accordingly, by their nature, estimates of impairment are subjective and do not 
necessarily result in precise determinations of the actual outcome.  Should the underlying assumptions change, the estimated fair value 
could vary by a material amount.

Classification of investment portfolio - Investment portfolio is classified based on the assessment of business model and the cash flow 
characteristics of the investments.  The Corporation exercises judgement in determining the classification of loans in the investment 
portfolio into measurement categories (note 3(a)).

Measurement of fair values - The Corporation's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for both 
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Corporation uses market observable data where possible.  Fair values are 
categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1:  

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2:  

Level 3:

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, 
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable 
inputs)

The Corporation reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.  If third party information, such as broker quotes or 
appraisals are used to measure fair values, the Corporation will assess the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the 
conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations 
should be classified.

The information about the assumptions made in measuring fair value is included in note 16.

3.

Significant accounting policies:

The Corporation's accounting policies and its standards of financial disclosure set out below are in accordance with IFRS.

(a)

Financial instruments

The Corporation adopted IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2018, without restatement of comparative periods. Changes in accounting policies 
resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018 are described below:

Classification & Measurement of Financial Assets

Recognition and initial measurement

The Corporation on the date of origination or purchase recognizes loans, debt and equity securities, deposits and subordinated
debentures at the fair value of consideration paid. Regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement
date. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the date at which the Corporation becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.

The initial measurement of a financial asset or liability is at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its purchase or
issuance. For instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets include both debt and equity instruments.

Debt instruments

Debt instruments, including loans and debt securities, are classified into one of the following measurement categories:

(i)
(ii)
(iii)

Amortized cost;
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); or
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) for trading related assets. 

Classification of debt instruments is determined based on:

(i)
(ii)

The business model under which the asset is held; and
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.

Business model assessment

Business model assessment involves determining whether financial assets are managed in order to generate cash flows from collection of
contractual cash flows. The Corporation takes into consideration the following factors:
How the performance of assets in a portfolio is evaluated and reported;

(i)

(ii)

The risks that affect the performance of assets held within a business model and how those risks are managed; and

(iii)

Whether the assets are held for trading purposes.

Cash flow characteristics assessment

The contractual cash flow characteristics assessment involves assessing the contractual features of an instrument to determine if they
give rise to cash flows that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending
arrangement if they represent cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).

Principal is defined as the fair value of the instrument at initial recognition. Principal may change over the life of the instruments due to
repayments.

Interest is defined as consideration for the time value of money and the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding and for
other basic lending risks and costs (liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

In performing this assessment, the Corporation takes into consideration contractual features that could change the amount or timing of
contractual cash flows, such that the cash flows are no longer consistent with a basic lending arrangement. If the Corporation identifies
any contractual features that could modify the cash flows of the instrument such that they are no longer consistent with a basic lending
arrangement, the related financial asset is classified and measured at FVTPL.

Debt instruments measured at amortized cost

Debt instruments are measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold for collection of
contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest. After initial measurement, debt
instruments in this category are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that
discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a
financial asset. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, transaction costs and fees that
are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Amortization is included in Interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Impairment on debt instruments measured at amortized cost is calculated using the expected credit loss approach. Loans and debt
securities measured at amortized cost are presented net of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Debt instruments measured at FVOCI

Debt instruments are measured at FVOCI if they are held within a business model whose objective is both to hold for collection of 
contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent payments that are solely payments of principal 
and interest. Subsequent to initial recognition, unrealized gains and losses on debt instruments measured at FVOCI are recorded in other 
comprehensive Income (OCI), unless the instrument is designated in a fair value hedge relationship.

Impairment on debt instruments measured at FVOCI is calculated using the expected credit loss approach. The ACL on debt instruments
measured at FVOCI does not reduce the carrying amount of the asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which remains at its fair value.
Instead, an amount equal to the provision that would arise if the assets were measured at amortized cost is recognized in OCI with a
corresponding charge to provision for impairment in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The accumulated provision recognized in OCI
is recycled to the Consolidated Statement of Income upon derecognition of the debt instrument.

Debt instruments measured at FVTPL

Debt instruments measured at FVTPL include assets held for trading purposes, assets held as part of a portfolio managed on a fair value
basis and assets whose cash flows do not represent payments that are solely payments of principal and interest. These instruments are
measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with transaction costs recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement
of Income as part of Non-interest income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized as part of Non-interest income in the
Consolidated Statement of Income.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments are measured at FVTPL, unless an election is made to designate them at FVOCI upon purchase. For equity
instruments measured at FVTPL, changes in fair value are recognized as part of other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Corporation can elect to classify non-trading equity instruments at FVOCI. This election will be used for certain equity investments for
strategic or longer term investment purposes. The FVOCI election is made upon initial recognition on an instrument-by instrument basis
and once made is irrevocable.

Impairment

The impairment model measures credit loss allowances using a three-stage approach based on the extent of credit deterioration since
origination:

Stage 1 – Where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk (SIR) since initial recognition of a financial instrument, an amount
equal to 12 months expected credit loss is recorded. The expected credit loss is computed using a probability of default occurring over the
next 12 months. For those instruments with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months, a probability of default corresponding to
remaining term to maturity is used.

Stage 2 – When a financial instrument experiences a SIR subsequent to origination but is not considered to be in default, it is included in
Stage 2. This requires the computation of expected credit loss based on the probability of default over the remaining estimated life of the
financial instrument.

Stage 3 – Financial instruments that are considered to be in default are included in this stage. Similar to Stage 2, the allowance for credit
losses captures the lifetime expected credit losses.

Measurement of expected credit loss

The probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD), and loss given default (LGD) inputs used to estimate expected credit losses are
modelled based on macroeconomic variables that are most closely related with credit losses in the relevant portfolio. Details of these
statistical parameters/inputs are as follows:

PD – The probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain
time over the remaining estimated life, if the facility has not been previously derecognized and is still in the portfolio.

EAD – The exposure at default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the
exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected
drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest from missed payments.

Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(in Canadian dollars)

LGD – The loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the
difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any
collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.

Macroeconomic factors

In its models, the Corporation relies on forward looking information as economic inputs, such as house price indices. The inputs and
models used for calculating expected credit losses may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the financial
statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays may be made as temporary adjustments using expert credit judgement.

Assessment of significant increase in credit risk (SIR)

At each reporting date, the Corporation assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for exposures since initial
recognition by comparing the risk of default occurring over the remaining expected life from the reporting date and the date of initial
recognition. The assessment considers borrower-specific quantitative and qualitative information without consideration of collateral, and
the impact of forward-looking macro-economic factors, management judgement and delinquency and monitoring.

The common assessments for SIR on investment portfolios include macroeconomic outlook, management judgement, and delinquency
and monitoring. Forward looking macroeconomic factors are a key component of the macroeconomic outlook. The importance and
relevance of each specific macroeconomic factor depends on the type of product, characteristics of the financial instruments and the
borrower and the geographical region. Quantitative models may not always be able to capture all reasonable and supportable information
that may indicate a significant increase in credit risk. Qualitative factors may be assessed to supplement the gap. With regards to
delinquency and monitoring, there is a rebuttable presumption that the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased since initial
recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days overdue.

Presentation of allowance for credit losses in the Statement of Financial Position

(i)

(ii)

Financial assets measured at amortized cost: as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial assets;

Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: no provision is recognized in the Statement of
Financial Position because the carrying value of these assets is their fair value. However, the provision determined is presented in
the accumulated other comprehensive  income.

Definition of default

The Corporation considers a financial instrument to be in default as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the date of initial
recognition of the instrument and the loss event has a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the instrument that can be
reliably estimated. This includes events that indicate:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

significant financial difficulty of the borrower;

default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

high probability of the borrower entering a phase of bankruptcy or a financial reorganization;

measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from the loan or the underlying assets that back the loan.

The Corporation considers that default has occurred and classifies the financial asset as impaired when it is more than 90 days past due,
unless reasonable and supportable information demonstrates that a more lagging default criterion is appropriate.

Individual provision for impairment 

For loans that are considered individually impaired the Corporation assesses on a case-by-case basis at each reporting period whether an
individual provision for loan losses is required.

For those loans where objective evidence of impairment exists and the Corporation has determined a loan to be impaired, impairment is
determined based on the Corporation's aggregate exposure to the customer considering the following factors:

(i)

(ii)

the customer's ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service debt obligations;

the extent of other creditors' commitments ranking ahead of, or pari passu with, the Corporation and the likelihood of other creditors
continuing to support the company;  and

(iii)

the realizable value of security (or other credit mitigants) and likelihood of successful repossession.

(in Canadian dollars)

Impairment losses are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows of a loan at its original effective interest rate, and
comparing the resultant present value with the loan's current carrying amount. This results in interest income being recognized using the
original effective interest rate.

Collective provision for impairment

For loans that have not been individually assessed as being impaired, the Corporation pools them into groups to assess them on a
collective basis. Collective provisions are calculated for performing loans. Provisions related to performing loans estimate probable
incurred losses that are inherent in the portfolio but have not yet been specifically identified as impaired.

Internal risk rating parameters are used in calculation of the collective provision for impairment.
basis for calculating the quantitative portion of the collective provision for performing loans:

Internal risk rating parameters form the

(i)

(ii)

Probability of Default rates (PD) which are based upon the internal rating for each borrower;

Loss Given Default ratings (LGD); and

(iii)

Exposure at Default factors (EAD).

Funded exposures are multiplied by the borrower's PD and by the relevant LGD parameter.

Committed but undrawn exposure are multiplied by the borrower's PD, by the relevant LGD parameter, and by the relevant EAD
parameter. A model stress component is also applied to recognize uncertainty in the credit risk parameter and the fact that current actual
loss rates may differ from the long-term averages included in the model.

Write-off 

Investment portfolio and interest receivable (and the related provision for impairment accounts) are normally written off, either partially or
in full, when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Write-off is generally after receipt of any proceeds from the realization of security.
In circumstances where the net realizable value of any collateral has been determined and there is no reasonable expectation of further
recovery, write-off may be earlier.

Investment portfolio - Policy prior to January 1, 2018:

The investment portfolio is classified as loans and receivables.  Such investments are recognized initially at cost plus any directly 
attributable transaction costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition, the investment portfolio is measured at amortized cost using the effective 
interest method, less any impairment provisions.

The investments are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.  A financial asset is 
impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of an asset, and that the loss event had a 
negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

(in Canadian dollars)

The Corporation assesses individually significant investments at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of 
impairment. An impairment loss in respect of the investments measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its 
carrying amount including interest and the present value of the future cash flows estimated to be recovered on the loan security. Estimates 
and assumptions are made as to the gross sale proceeds that would be generated on the forced sale of the real property securing the 
related mortgage loan, and reflect estimates of the current local market conditions. Estimates are made as to the costs of enforcing under 
the mortgage loan and of realizing on the real property.  In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount 
and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss. These estimates are based on assumptions about a number of 
factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the provision.  Losses are recognized in the statement of income and 
reflected in an impairment provision against the investments.

Investments that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and all individually insignificant mortgages are then 
assessed collectively, in groups of mortgages with similar risk characteristics, to determine whether a collective provision should be 
recorded due to incurred loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose effects are not yet evident. 

(b)

Revenue recognition:

(i)   

(ii)

Interest and fee income:  Interest income earned is accounted for using the effective interest method.  Commitment fees 
received are amortized to profit and loss over the expected term of the investment.

Non-conventional mortgages:  At each reporting period the Corporation determines the fair value of the special profit and 
interest participation receivable on non-conventional mortgages.  Any changes in fair value are recognized in Other Income.

(c)

Share-based compensation:

The Corporation has a share-based compensation plan (i.e. incentive option plan), which is described in note 10(b).  The expense of 
equity-settled incentive option plans are measured based on fair value of the awards of each tranche at the grant date.  The expense is 
recognized on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant.

(d)

Income taxes:

The Corporation is a mortgage investment corporation ("MIC") pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada).  As such, the Corporation is 
entitled to deduct from its taxable income dividends paid to shareholders during the year or within 90 days of the end of the year to the 
extent the dividends were not deducted previously.  The Corporation intends to maintain its status as a MIC and intends to distribute 
sufficient dividends in the year and in future years to ensure that the Corporation is not subject to income taxes.  Accordingly, for financial 
statement reporting purposes, the tax deductibility of the Corporation's dividends results in the Corporation being effectively exempt from 
taxation and no provision for current or future income tax is required for the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

(e)

Financial assets and liabilities:

Financial assets include the Corporation's amounts receivable, marketable securities, and investment portfolio.  Financial liabilities include 
bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, shareholder dividend payable, loans payable, and convertible debentures.

The Corporation classified its financial assets into the following categories:  financial assets at amortized cost, FVOCI, or FVTPL.   
Marketable securities have been designated as FVTPL. Internal reporting and performance measurement of these investments are on a 
fair value basis and are based on prices as quoted in an active public marketplace. Amounts receivable and the investment portfolio are 
classified as amortized cost with some related investments at FVTPL.

The Corporation classifies its financial liabilities at amortized cost.

Recognition and measurement of financial instruments:

The Corporation determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition.  Financial instruments are 
recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost, adjusted for directly attributable 
transaction costs.  Financial assets classified as FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value using the bid/ask price, with gains and 
losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Financial assets classified as at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value using 
the bid/ask price, with gains and losses recognized in profit or loss.  Financial instruments classified at amortized cost are subsequently 
measured at amortized cost less any costs of impairment.

Financial assets and liabilities - Policy prior to January 1, 2018:

Financial assets include the Corporation's amounts receivable, marketable securities, and investment portfolio.  Financial liabilities include 
bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, shareholder dividend payable, loans payable, and convertible debentures.

The Corporation classified its financial assets into the following categories:  financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), 
loans and receivables, and available for sale.  Marketable securities have been designated as available for sale. Internal reporting and 
performance measurement of these investments are on a fair value basis and are based on prices as quoted in an active public 
marketplace. Amounts receivable and prepaid expenses and investment portfolio are classified as loans and receivables.

The Corporation classified its financial liabilities into the other liabilities category.

Recognition and measurement of financial instruments:

The Corporation determined the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition.  Financial instruments are 
recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of financial assets and liabilities, carried at amortized cost, adjusted for directly attributable 
transaction costs.  Financial assets classified as FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value using the bid/ask price, with gains and 
losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Financial assets classified as at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value using 
the bid/ask price, with gains and losses recognized in profit or loss.  Financial instruments classified at amortized cost are subsequently 
measured at amortized cost less any costs of impairment.

(f)

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:

(i)

Financial assets:

The Corporation derecognized a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expires, or it 
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or in which the Corporation neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.  Any interest in such transferred financial assets that 
qualify for derecognition that is created or retained by the Corporation is recognized as a separate asset or liability.  On 
derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset  (or the carrying amount allocated to the 
portion of the asset transferred), and the sum of (a) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new 
liability assumed) and (b) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in 
profit or loss.

The Corporation enters into transactions whereby it transfers mortgage or loan investments recognized on its statements of 
financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred mortgage or loan investments.  
If all or substantially all risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred mortgage or loan investments are not derecognized.

Years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

(in Canadian dollars)

In transactions in which the Corporation neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a 
financial asset and it retains control over the asset, the Corporation continues to recognize the asset to the extent of its continuing 
involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset.

(ii)

Financial liabilities:

The Corporation derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

(g)

Compound financial instruments:

Compound financial instruments issued by the Corporation comprise convertible debentures that can be converted into shares of the 
Corporation at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.  The liability 
component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity 
conversion option.  The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial 
instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component.  Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability 
and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.  Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a 
compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  The equity component of a compound 
financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.  Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial 
liability are recognized in profit or loss.  

(h)

Share capital:

Common shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognized as a 
deduction from equity.  Dividends to shareholders are recognized in shareholders' equity.

(i)

Basic and diluted per share calculation:

The Corporation presents basic and diluted profit per share data for its common shares.  Basic per share amounts are calculated by 
dividing the profit and loss attributable to common shareholders of the Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding during the year.  Diluted per share amounts are calculated using the "if converted method" and are determined by adjusting 
the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the 
effects of all potential dilutive convertible debentures and any options granted under the incentive option plan.

(j)

Foreign currency translation:

Transactions amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollar equivalents at the rate of exchange prevailing 
at the time of the transactions.  Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates 
of the consolidated statements of financial position.  Foreign exchange gains and losses on the receipt of the payments from translations 
are included in realized gains/loss on foreign exchange in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.  All 
unrealized foreign gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities are included in unrealized foreign exchange gain/loss in the 
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(k)

IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers ("IFRS 15")

The Corporation adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 and applied the requirements of the standards retrospectively.  IFRS 15 
replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the 
Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue: Barter Transaction Involving Advertising 
Services.

The implementation of IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Transition to IFRS 9

Reconciliation of IAS 39 to IFRS 9

The following table provides the impact from the transition to IFRS 9 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at transition date, January 1,
2018.  The impact consists of reclassification and remeasurement.  

Reclassification and remeasurement

These adjustments reflect the movement of balances between categories and changes to carrying values of the items on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets with an impact to shareholder's equity.

The loans comprising the investment portfolio are stated at amortized cost and FVTPL. The provison for impairment is $4,950,000 as at
December 31, 2018, of which $4,265,000 represents the total amount of management's estimate of the shortfall between the investment
balances and the estimated recoverable amount from the security under the specific loans in default. The Corporation also assessed
collectively for impairment to identify potential future losses, by grouping the investment portfolio with similar risk characteristics, to
determine whether a collective allowance should be recorded due to loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose effects
are not yet evident. Based on the amounts determined by the analysis, the Corporation used judgement to determine the amounts
calculated. As at December 31, 2018, the Corporation carries a collective allowance of $685,000. The Corporation has allocated the
impairment provision in the amount of $2,417,325 (2017 - nil) to interest receivable (note 4) related to loans in default.

The loans comprising the Investment portfolio bear interest at the weighted average rate of 8.58% per annum (December 31, 2017 - 
8.09% per annum) and mature between 2019 and 2022.

The unadvanced funds under the existing investment portfolio (which are commitments of the Corporation) amounted to $89,188,507 as at
December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 - $91,953,643).

Borrowers who have open loans generally have the option on notice to repay principal at any time prior to the maturity date without penalty, 
subject to written notice, according to each mortgage loan.

The Corporation enters into participation agreements with respect to certain mortgage investments from time to time, whereby the other
participating investors take the senior position and the Corporation retains a subordinated position. Under these certain participation
agreements, the Corporation has retained a residual portion of the credit and/or default risk as a result of holding the subordinated interest
in the mortgage and has therefore not met the de-recognition criteria described in the notes to the annual financial statements.

The portion of such mortgage interests held by the priority participant is included in investment portfolio and recorded as loans payable
(note 8). Any gross interest and fees earned on the priority participant’s interests and the related interest expense is recognized in income
and profit.

Interest on bank indebtedness is predominantly charged at a rate that varies with bank prime and may have a
component with a fixed interest rate established based on a formula linked to bankers' acceptance rates. The credit arrangement
comprises a revolving operating facililty, a component of which is a demand facility and a component of which had a committed term to
December 31, 2018 and has been extended to December 31, 2019 (as further detailed in note 17 (c)). Bank indebtedness is secured by a
general security agreement. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants that must be maintained. As at December 31,
2018 and December 31, 2017, the Corporation was in compliance with all financial covenants.

equal to the principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at the Corporation's option on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days'
notice, provided that the weighted average trading price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days
ending 5 trading days preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the conversion price. On or
after August 31, 2022 and prior to the maturity date, the debentures are redeemable at a price equal to the principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest, at the Corporation's option on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior notice. On redemption or at
maturity, the Corporation may, at its option, on not more than 60 days' and not less than 40 days' prior notice, elect to satisfy its obligation
to pay all or a portion of the principal of the debenture by issuing that number of shares of the Corporation obtained by dividing the
principal amount being repaid by 95% of the weighted average trading price of the shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on
the fifth day preceding the redemption or maturity date.

(in Canadian dollars)

For the year ended December 31, 2017, two directors were awarded 70,000 options under the incentive plan.

The Mortgage Banker (a company related to certain officers and/or directors of the Corporation) receives certain fees from the borrowers
as follows:
loan servicing fees equal to 0.10% per annum on the principal amount of each of the Corporation's investments; 75% of all of
the commitment and renewal fees generated from the Corporation's investments; and 25% of all of the special profit income generated
from the non-conventional investments after the Corporation has yielded a 10% per annum return on its investments.
Interest and fee
income of the Corporation is net of the loan servicing fees paid to the Mortgage Banker of approximately $524,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 (2017 - $485,000). The Mortgage Banker also retains all overnight float interest and incidental fees and charges
payable by borrowers on the Corporation's investments.  

The Corporation's Management Agreement and Mortgage Banking Agreement contains provisions for the payment of termination fees to
the Corporation Manager and Mortgage Banker in the event that the respective agreements are either terminated or not renewed.

A significant number of the Corporation's investments are shared with other investors of the Mortgage Banker, which may include
members of management of the Mortgage Banker and/or Officers or directors of the Corporation. The Corporation ranks equally with
other members of the syndicate as to receipt of principal and income.

During the first quarter of 2018, the two mortgage investments totaling $1,400,000 (December 31, 2017- two mortgage investments
totaling $1,400,000) that were issued to a borrower controlled by an independent director of the Corporation were fully repaid.

The Corporation holds a mortgage investment totaling $5,148,000 at December 31, 2018 (classified as discounted debt investment) that
originated from the purchase of a mortgage loan from a Schedule 1 bank at a discount to its original principal balance (December 31, 2017
- $4,985,500). The Corporation’s investment is by way of a participation in a mortgage loan to the entity that took title to the real estate
following the completion of the enforcement foreclosure that occurred after the purchase of the underlying Schedule 1 bank mortgage. The
Corporation is a pari passu participant in the mortgage, having the same rights as all other participants in the loan. The entity that holds
title to the real estate as agent is related to the other participants in the mortgage loan investment, including entities related to certain
directors of the Corporation, and for this reason, the borrower is classified as a related party. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the
Corporation recognized interest and fees earned of $nil (2017 - $nil) from this investment. The impairment provision recorded on this loan
was $860,000 as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017 - $1,180,000).  

Key management compensation:

Aggregate compensation paid to key management personnel (including payments to related parties for their recovery of overhead costs),
consisted of short-term employee compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2018 the compensation was $2,196,744 (2017 -
$2,083,453), all of which was paid by the Corporation's Manager and not by the Corporation.

The Corporation is involved in certain litigation arising out of the ordinary course of investing in loans. Although such matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, management believes the claims are without merit and does not consider the Corporation's exposure to such
litigation to have a material impact on these financial statements.

16.

Fair value:

The fair values of amounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and shareholders dividends payable
approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities.

The fair value of the investment portfolio approximates its carrying value as the majority of the loans are repayable in full at any time
without penalty and generally have floating interest rates. There is no quoted price in an active market for the mortgage and loan
investments or mortgage syndication liabilities. The Corporation makes its determinations of fair value based on its assessment of the
current lending market for mortgage and loan investments of same or similar terms. As a result, the fair value of mortgage and loan
investments is based on Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of loans payable approximate their carrying values due to the fact that the majority of the loans are: (i) repayable in full, at
any time, upon the repayment of the underlying loan that secures the loan payable, and (ii) have floating interest rates linked to bank
prime.

The fair value of convertible debentures, including their conversion option, has been determined based on the closing price of the
debentures of the Corporation on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the respective date.

The fair value of marketable securities has been determined based on the closing price of the security of the respective listed entities on
the Toronto Stock Exchange for the respective date.

instruments, exposes the Corporation to various risks, the most

(a)

Interest rate risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value of future cash flows of financial assets or financial liabilities will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates.

The Corporation’s operations are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate on the majority of the investments is set at the
greater of a floor rate and a formula linked to bank prime. The floor interest rate mitigates the effect of a drop in short-term market interest
rates on existing investments while the floating component linked to bank prime allows for increased interest earnings on a component of
the investments where short-term market rates increase.

(i)

Interest income risk:

A significant portion of the Corporation's investment portfolio comprise investments in short term mortgage loans that generally are repaid
by the borrowers in under twenty-four months. The reinvestment of funds received from such repayments are invested at current market
interest rates. As such, the weighted average interest rate applicable to the investment portfolio changes with time. This creates an
ongoing risk that the weighted average interest rate on the investment portfolio will decrease, which will have a negative impact on the
Corporation's interest income and net profit.

(ii)

Interest expense risk:

The Corporation's floating-rate debt comprises bank indebtedness, and loan on debenture portfolio investment, with each bearing interest
based on bank prime and/or based on short term bankers' acceptance interest rates as a benchmark.

At December 31, 2018, if interest rates at that date had been 100 basis points lower or higher, with all other variables held constant,
comprehensive income and equity for the year would be affected as follows:

Credit risk is the possibility that a borrower under one of the mortgages comprising the investment portfolio, may be unable to honour the
debt commitment as a result of a negative change in the borrowers' financial position or market conditions that could result in a loss to the
Corporation.

Any instability in the real estate sector or an adverse change in economic conditions in Canada could result in declines in the value of real
property securing the Corporation's investments. There have been significant increases in real estate values in various sectors of the
Canadian market over the past few years. A correction or revaluation of real estate in such sectors will result in a reduction in values of
the real estate securing mortgage loans that comprise the Corporation's investment portfolio. This could result in impairments in the
mortgage loans or loan losses in the event the real estate security has to be realized upon by the lender. The Corporation's maximum
exposure to credit risk is represented by the fair values of amounts receivable and the investment portfolio.
(c)

Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they become due.

The Corporation's liquidity requirements relate to its obligations under its bank indebtedness, loans payable, convertible debentures, and
its obligations to make future advances under its existing portfolio. Liquidity risk is managed by ensuring that the sum of (i) availability
under the Corporation's bank borrowing line, (ii) the sourcing of other borrowing facilities, and (iii) projected repayments under the existing
investment portfolio, exceeds projected needs (including funding of further advances under existing and new investments).

As at December 31, 2018,
the Corporation had not utilized its full leverage availability, being a guideline of 50% of its first mortgage
investments. Unadvanced committed funds under the existing investment portfolio amounted to $89,188,507 as at December 31, 2018
(December 31, 2017 - $91,953,643). These commitments are anticipated to be funded from the Corporation's credit facility and borrower
repayments. The Corporation has a demand revolving line of credit of $70 million and a committed revolving line of credit with its principal
banker to fund the timing differences between investment advances and investment repayments. The committed line of $20 million is a
committed facility with a maturity date extended to September 30, 2019.
If the committed line is not renewed on September 30, 2019, the
terms of the facility allow for the Corporation to repay the balance owed on September 30, 2019 within 12 months. In the current economic
climate and capital market conditions, there are no assurances that the bank borrowing line will be renewed or that it could be replaced
If it is not extended at maturity, repayments under the Corporation's investment portfolio would be
with another lender if not renewed.
utilized to repay the bank indebtedness. There are limitations in the availability of
funds under the revolving line of credit. The
Corporation's investments are predominantly short-term in nature, and as such, the continual repayment by borrowers of existing
investments creates liquidity for ongoing investments and funding commitments. Loans payable relate to borrowings on specific
investments within the Corporation's portfolio and only have to be repaid once the specific loan is paid out by the borrower.

If the Corporation is unable to continue to have access to its bank borrowing line and loans payable, the size of the Corporation's
investment portfolio will decrease and the income historically generated through holding a larger portfolio by utilizing leverage will not be
earned.

The bank indebtedness and loans payable are liabilities resulting from the funding of the Corporation's investments. Repayment of
investments results in a direct and corresponding pay down of the bank indebtedness and/or loans payable. The obligations for future
advances under the Corporation's investment portfolio are anticipated to be funded from the Corporation's credit facility and borrower
repayments.  Upon funding of same, the funded amount forms part of the Corporation's investments.

Interest payments on debentures (assuming the amounts remain unchanged) would be $9,108,366 for less than 1 year, $16,016,500 for 1
to 3 years and $19,592,000 for 4 to 7 years.

Corporation's objectives when managing capital/equity are:

•

•

The Corporation manages the capital/equity structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions.
In order to
maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Corporation may issue new shares or convertible debentures or repay bank indebtedness (if
any) and loans payable.

The Corporation's investment guidelines, which can be varied at the discretion of the Board of Directors, incorporate various guidelines
and investment operating policies. The Corporation's guidelines include the following: the Corporation (i) will not invest more than 10% of
the amount of its capital in any single conventional first mortgage where the loan to value on such loan is less than 60%, (ii) will not invest
more than 8% of the amount of its capital in any single conventional first mortgage where the loan to value on such loan is between 60%
and 70%, (iii) will not invest more than 5% of the amount of its capital in any single conventional first mortgages where the loan to value on
such loan exceeds 70%, (iv) will not invest more than 2.5% of the amount of its capital
in any single non-conventional mortgage or
conventional investment that is not a first mortgage, and (v) will only borrow funds in order to acquire or invest in investments in amounts
up to 60% of the book value of the Corporation's portfolio of conventional first mortgages. Capital is defined as the sum of shareholders'
equity plus the face amount of convertible debentures.

The Corporation is required by its bank lender to maintain various covenants, including minimum equity amount, interest coverage ratios,
indebtedness as a percentage of the performing first mortgage portfolio size, and indebtedness to total assets. The Corporation is in
compliance with all such bank covenants.

(e) 

Currency risk:

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Corporation's foreign currency-denominated investments and cash
and cash equivalents will fluctuate based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, the Corporation is subject to
currency fluctuations that may impact its financial position and results of operations. The Corporation manages its currency risk on its
investments by borrowing the same amount as the investment in the same currency. As a result, a 1% change in the exchange rate of the
Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will not result in a significant change to the net income and comprehensive income and equity.
