MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
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 are able to 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 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is dated as of March  18, 2020 
and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial 
statements  of  the  Corporation  and  the  notes  thereto  for  the  of  the  Corporation  years  ended 
December 31, 2019 and 2018, as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, including

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

HIGHLIGHTS 
INCOME  
Income  for  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2019  increased  by  9.5%  to  $6,678,983  as 
compared  to  $6,097,699  reported  for  the  same  period  in  2018.    Income  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019 increased by 8.7% to $28,002,051 as compared to $25,750,696 reported for 
the year ended December 31, 2018.     

REVENUES   
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by 4.2% to $11,040,763 as 
compared to $11,528,868 reported for the same period in 2018. The decrease is mainly a result 
of  lower  interest  income from  holding  a  smaller average  portfolio size.    Revenues for  the  year 
ended  December  31,  2019  increased  by  approximately  0.1%  to  $47,342,851  as  compared  to 
$47,313,264 for the year ended December 31, 2018.       

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO  
The Corporation’s investment portfolio (the “Investment Portfolio”) decreased by $40.0 million to 
$480.9 million  as  at  December  31,  2019,  in comparison  to $520.9 million  as  at  December 31, 
2018 (gross of impairment provision). The allowance for credit losses as at December 31, 2019 
was  $5.48  million  (December  2018  -  $4.95  million).    While  there  was  a  strong  level  of  new 
investment funding during 2019 of $260.2 million (2018 – $287.0 million), repayments were large 
at $300.3 million (2018 – $327.6 million).  The repayment level was higher than the funding of the 
investment portfolio and has resulted in the decrease in the investment portfolio size.   

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.    Income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  represents  an  annualized  return  on 
shareholders’ equity (based on the month end average shareholders’ equity in the year) of 9.09%, 
representing a return on shareholders’ equity of 733 basis points per annum over the average 
one-year Government of Canada Treasury bill yield of 1.76%. 

EQUITY OFFERINGS  
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 were 1,748,000. 

On  May  15,  2019,  the  Corporation  completed  a  non-brokered  private  placement  of  209,630 
Shares at a price of $13.20 per Share for gross proceeds of $2,767,116.

On March 29, 2019, the Corporation completed the redemption of its 5.25% convertible unsecured 
subordinated  debentures.  It  was  a  cash  redemption  of  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of 
$20,485,000 and all accrued interest to the time of Redemption Date. 

On  December  20,  2019,  the  Corporation  completed  the  redemption  of  its  4.75%  convertible 
unsecured subordinated debentures. It was a cash redemption of the aggregate principal amount

The $40.0 million decrease in the Investment Portfolio (before the provision for impairment) was 
mainly due to the decrease in the amount of the conventional first mortgages category and  non-
conventional mortgages, offset by an increase in related investments and a marginal increase in 
conventional non-first mortgages, with discounted debt investments being largely inline.   While 
there was a strong level of new investment funding during 2019 of $260.2 million (2018 – $287.0 
million), repayments were large at $300.3 million (2018 – $327.6 million).  The repayment level 
was higher than the funding of the investment portfolio and has resulted in the decrease in the 
investment portfolio size.    

Conventional  first  mortgages  decreased  by  16.1%  and  represented  69.6%  of  the  Investment 
Portfolio  as  at  December  31,  2019  (76.6%  as  at  December  31,  2018).  Conventional  non-first 
mortgages increased by 1.3% and represented 8.8% of the Investment Portfolio at December 31, 
2019 (8.0% as at December 31, 2018).  Conventional first mortgages decreased as a result of 
investment repayments in these categories exceeding funding.  Related investments increased 
by 36.0% and represented 19.9% of the Investment Portfolio as at December 31, 2019 (13.5% as

at December 31, 2018).  Discounted debt investments increased by 0.8% and represented 1.1% 
of the Investment Portfolio, as at December 31, 2019 (1.0% as at December 31, 2018).  Non-
conventional mortgages decreased by 34.8% and represented 0.6% of the Investment Portfolio 
as at December 31, 2019 (0.9% as at December 31, 2018).  

The  related  investment  category  is  a  basket  of  investments  that  are  all  participating  in  debt 
investments  to  a  variety  of  third-party  borrowers.    Such  debt  investments  are  not  secured  by 
mortgage charges, and instead have other forms of security or recourse.  

The timing for recognition and collection of accrued interest and special profit on non-conventional 
mortgages is difficult to estimate given the nature of such instruments.  As such, the Corporation 
will recognize revenue when amounts are determinable, and management is reasonably assured 
of collection.   

The weighted average face interest rate on the Corporation’s Investment Portfolio was 8.49% per 
annum as at December 31, 2019, compared to 8.58% per annum as at December 31, 2018. 

The  provision  for  impairment  is  $5,480,000  as  at  December    31,  2019  (December  31,  2018  - 
$4,950,000), of which $5,084,000 (December 31, 2018 – $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.  As  at  December  31,  2019,  the 
Corporation carries a collective provision balance of $396,000 (December 31, 2018 - $685,000).  

The allocation of the Investment Portfolio between its seven property types is as follows:

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  two  United  States  ("US")  dollar  denominated 
investments (at amortized cost) of $2,435,491 (US$1,875,186) (December 31, 2018 - $5,709,177 
(US$4,185,000)).  

Included  in  related  investments  are  four  US  dollar  denominated  investments  of  $16,726,003 
(US$12,878,043), (December 31, 2018 - two US dollar denominated investments of $5,376,199 
(US$3,940,917)).  These investments are a participation by the Corporation in limited partnerships 
that have provided equity to real estate entities in the US.  

For the three  months ended  December 31, 2019,  income  recorded  on  the  US investments  (at 
amortized cost and FVTPL) was $455,904 (US$345,088), (2018 - $182,737 (US$137,793).  For 
the year ended December 31, 2019, income recorded on the US investments was $1,274,748 
(US$962,317),  (2018  -  $730,663  (US$562,948)).    These  amounts  are  included  in  interest  and 
fees income.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The  Investment Portfolio  as  at  December 31,  2019  had  six  investments  with  balances  totaling 
$12,903,309  (December  31,  2018  –  two  investments  with  balances  totaling  $1,474,000)  with 
contractual interest arrears greater than 60 days past due and were not brought current at year 
end,  amounting  to  $666,620  (December  31,  2018  –  $48,727),  for  which  management  has 
determined that no provision for impairment is required (December 31, 2018 – $nil). Subsequent 
to year end, two of the six investments was paid out reducing the balance by $2,242,562. 

The  investment  portfolio  as  at  December  31,  2019  includes  eleven  investments  totaling 
$23,762,718 (December 31, 2018 - thirteen investments totaling $19,735,486) with maturity dates 
that  are  past  due  and  for  which  no  extension  or  renewal  was  in  place.    Three  of  the  eleven 
investments were paid out after December 31, 2019, reducing the balance by $3,107,050.  Three 
investments totaling $13,034,106 (December 31, 2018 - four investments totaling $10,629,767) 
have  an  allowance  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  $7,621,561  (December  31,  2018  -  five  investments  totaling 
$5,028,925) have been determined to not require a provision.   

As at December 31, 2019, the Investment Portfolio continued to be heavily concentrated in short-
term investments, with 76.1% of the portfolio maturing by December 31, 2020 and 96.5% maturing 
on or before December 31, 2021. 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.  
Renewals are offered to borrowers when deemed appropriate.

Certain members of the Board of Directors and senior management and their related entities co-
invested  approximately  $60  million  with  the  Corporation  alongside  its  December  31,  2019, 
Investment 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  pari  passu  with  other  members  of  the 
syndicate as to receipt of principal, interest, and fees.  As at December 31, 2019, no such first 
priority syndicate participations were outstanding.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, interest income was $10,212,313, a decrease 
of  3.9%  over  the  $10,623,533  reported  for  the  comparable  period  in  2018.  The  decrease  is  a 
result  of  the  Corporation  holding  a  lower  average  Investment  Portfolio.  For  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2019, interest income was $44,356,376 a decrease of 0.2% over the $44,466,299 
as reported for the same year ended period in 2018.  During 2019, the decrease in the average 
Investment  Portfolio  size  was  largely  offset  by  the  higher  average  interest  rates  over  the 
comparable period in 2018.   

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, commitment and renewal fees were $613,372, 
a  decrease of  30.3%  from  $879,844  reported  for  the  comparable period  in 2018.  For the  year 
ended December 31, 2019, fee income relating to commitment and renewal fees was $2,167,688, 
a decrease of 13.8% over the $2,515,714 reported for the same year ended comparable period 
in 2018.  As at December 31, 2019, the Corporation has deferred commitment fee revenue of 
$950,377 (December 31, 2018 – $795,485). 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  and  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  other  income  was  $215,079  and 
$818,787  (December  31,2018  -  $25,491  and  $331,251),  respectively.    Other  income  was 
unusually high as a result of the collection of one-off special income on certain of the Corporations 
non-conventional investments.  

CORPORATION MANAGER SPREAD INTEREST ALLOCATION 
The Corporation Manager, through a spread interest arrangement, received for the three months 
ended  December  31,  2019,  $819,988  (2018  –  $993,850).    For  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2019,  $3,685,593  (2018  –  $3,932,134),  was  received.    The  decrease  in  the  spread  interest  is 
related  to  the  decrease  in  the  size  of  the  Corporation’s  average  Investment  Portfolio  over  the 
comparable periods in 2018.   

INTEREST EXPENSE 
For  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2019,  interest  expense  decreased  by  24.5%  to 
$2,770,997 as compared to $3,672,297 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.  For the 
year  ended  December  31,  2019,  interest  expense  decreased  by  15.0%  to  $12,670,346  as 
compared  to  $14,908,334  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018.    The  Corporation’s 
indebtedness in 2019 was lower than in 2018, as result of two convertible debenture redemptions 
totaling $40,458,000 and the lower average investment portfolio during the period which required 
a smaller draw on the credit facility.  This translated into lower interest expense.       

Interest expense is broken down as follows:

THE  PROVISION  FOR  IMPAIRMENT  ON  INVESTMENT  PORTFOLIO  AND  INTEREST 
RECEIVABLE 
The provision for impairment for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $391,656 (2018 
–  $455,497).    For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  provision  for  impairment  was 
$1,750,077 (2018 – $1,667,325).  Further details are described in the Provision for Impairment 
section. 

NET INCOME AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME   
Net  income  and  comprehensive  income  for  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2019  was 
reported at $6,678,983 (2018 – $6,097,699), which represents an increase of 9.5%.  Net income 
and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019, was reported at $28,002,051 
(2018 – $25,750,696), which represents an increase of 8.7%.   

Income  for  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2019  represented  an  annualized  return  on 
shareholders’  equity  (based  on  the  month  end  average  shareholders’  equity  in  the  quarter)  of 
8.51%.    This  return  on  shareholders’  equity  represents  675  basis  points  per  annum  over  the 
average one-year Government of Canada Treasury bill yield of 1.76% 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,  2019  the 
annual  return  on  shareholders’  equity  (based  on  the  month  end  average  shareholders’  equity 
during  the  year)  is  9.09%,  and  733  basis  points  over  the  one-year  Government  of  Canada 
Treasury  bill  yield of  1.76%.  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.  

EARNINGS PER SHARE 
Basic weighted average earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2019, was 
$0.237  (2018  –  $0.233),  an  increase  of  1.7%  over  the  comparable  quarter.    Basic  weighted 
average earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1.008 (2018 – $0.986), 
an increase of 2.2% over the comparable period.   

Diluted weighted average earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2019, 
was $0.209, (2018 – 0.231), a decrease of 9.5% over the comparable quarter.  Diluted weighted 
average earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.953 (2018 – $0.963), 
a decrease of 1.0% over the comparable period.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by 37.9% to $1,253,498 as at December 31, 
2019, compared to $2,018,504 as at December 31, 2018. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 
include interest payable of $627,262 (December 31, 2018 – $1,379,501) and accrued liabilities of 
$626,236 (December 31, 2018 – $639,003).  Interest expense was lower during 2019, due to the 
repayment of loans payable and lower draw on the credit facility.  

Deferred  revenue  is  comprised  of  commitment  fees  generated  on  the  Corporation’s  mortgage 
investments  and  interest  income  received  in  advance.  As  at  December  31,  2019,  the  portion 
related  to  commitment  fees  was  $950,377  (December  31,  2018  –  $795,485)  and  the  portion 
related to interest income was $nil (December 31, 2018 – $383,735). The Corporation’s policy is 
to recognize commitment fees over the term of the related loans.  During the third quarter of 2019, 
the Corporation recognized deferred interest income of $383,735 (2018 – $nil), upon the receipt 
of a payment related to an investment that had both a conventional and a non-conventional facility.

December 31, 2019 compared to 26,143,544 Shares as at December 31, 2018. The increase in 
Shares  is  attributable  to  the  equity  offering  completed  in  the  first  quarter  of  2019,  a  private 
placement completed in the second quarter of 2019, a small number of Shares issued under the 
DRIP and the stock option plan and the conversions of debentures to Shares in the fourth quarter 
of 2019.  

During 2019, $2,020,000 in debentures were converted into 144,539 common shares.

PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT  
Investments  consist  primary  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  Corporation 
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 provision for credit losses is as follows:

The  loans  comprising  the  Investment  Portfolio  are  stated  at  amortized  cost  and  FVTPL.  The 
provision for impairment is $5,480,000 as at December 31, 2019, of which $5,084,000 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, 2019, the Corporation 
carries a collective impairment provision of $396,000 (December 31, 2018 – $685,000).

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,  2019,  this  amount  was

$819,988  (2018  -  $993,850).    For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019,  the  amount  was 
$3,685,593  (2018  -  $3,932,134).    Included  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  at 
December 31, 2019 are amounts payable to the Corporation's Manager of $275,964 (December 
31, 2018 - $314,105). 

For the three months ended December 31, 2019 the director’s fee expense were $76,750 (2018 
– $91,000).  For the year ended December 31,2019 the total directors' fee expenses were  
$307,000  (2018  -  $304,000).    Certain  key  management  personnel  are  also  directors  of  the 
Corporation  and  receive  compensation  from  the  Corporation's  Manager.    The  Directors  and 
Officers held 542,587 Shares in the Corporation as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - 
492,837).   

During 2019, the Corporation did not grant any options (2018 – nil) under its stock options plan.   

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 $109,332 for the three months ended 
December 31, 2019 (2018 - $129,000) and approximately $491,000 for the year ended December 
31,  2019  (2018  -  $524,000).  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  Spread  Interest  Agreement  and  Mortgage  Banking  Agreement  contain, 
respectively,  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  that  were 
issued to a borrower controlled by an independent director of the Corporation were fully repaid.  

The  Corporation  holds  a  mortgage  investment  totaling  $5,213,000  at  December  31,  2019 
(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,  2018  - 
$5,148,000).  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 months and year ended 
December 31, 2019, the Corporation recognized interest and fees earned of $nil (2018 - $nil) from 
this  investment.  The  impairment  provision  recorded  on  this  loan  was  reduced  to  $nil  as  at 
December 31, 2019.    

Aggregate  compensation  paid  to  key  management  personnel  (including  payments  to  related 
parties for recovery of costs), all consisted of short-term employee compensation of $497,442 for 
the three months ended December 31, 2019 (2018 - $548,799) and for the year ended December 
31, 2019 was $2,122,507 (2018 - $2,196,744), 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 consolidated 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 
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.

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

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 
consist 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 Corporation 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. 

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  the  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.

values  of  the  Corporation's  financial instruments as at  December 31,  2019  and  December 31,

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
Significant accounting policies are described in note 3 of the Corporation’s financial statements 
for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. 

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,  2019,  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 $108 million as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $89 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 the investments that the Corporation 
makes.    During  the  fiscal  year  of  2019,  79  investment  approvals  were  sent  to  the  Board  of 
Directors  (2018  –  170)  for  approval.    Under  the  investment  guidelines,  investment  amounts 
between $1 million to $2 million, require one Independent Director’s approval, and investments 
with total investment amounts over $2 million, require no less than three Independent Director’s 
approvals. 

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. 
  COVID-19 outbreak was declared by the World Health Organization.  The situation is dynamic with 
various cities and countries around the world responding in different ways to address the outbreak.   
  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.   
  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 Canadian Income Tax Act (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.  
Investment portfolio size. The investment portfolio size (and income generated thereon) can fluctuate 
and  will  decrease  when  repayments  exceed  new  advances.  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.    Repayments  of  investments  can  be 
significant given the open prepayment provision associated with most investments.   

 

  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.    

  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.

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

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 audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. 

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,  2018  and  December  31,  2019  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 
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, 2019. 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, 2019 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.

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

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 2019 
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 above 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’s investment portfolio has continued to revolve with the significant investment 
repayments exceeding new investing in 2019.  We are reinvesting the repaid funds selectively, 
keeping  in  mind  the  high  values  in  various  real  estate  sectors  and  the  significant  increases  in 
values.  We expect that this trend could continue through the first part of 2020.  The Mortgage 
Banker continues to reject a significant number of potential investments as a result of not meeting 
its investment criteria and risk tolerance.  

SUBSEQUENT EVENT  
Subsequent  to  year  end,  the  COVID-19  pandemic  is  causing  significant  financial  market  and 
social  dislocation.  The  situation  is  dynamic  with  various  cities  and  countries  around  the  world 
responding in different ways to address the outbreak. The Corporation continues to monitor the 
investment  portfolio  and  assess  the  impact  COVID-19  will  have  on  its business  activities.  The 
extent of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Corporation is uncertain.

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, 2019 and 2018
the consolidated statements of income and 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, 2019 and 2018, 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 “2019 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 ● 2019 ● 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 “2019 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 .

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 Canada 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 18, 2020.

(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:

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:  

Level 2:  

Level 3:

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

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.

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.

(in Canadian dollars)

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:

(i)

How the performance of assets in a portfolio is evaluated and reported;

(ii)

(iii)

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

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
they represent cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding (SPPI).

if

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
Income. The
accumulated provision recognized in OCI is recycled to the Consolidated Statement of Income upon derecognition of the debt
instrument.

in the Consolidated Statement of

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

(in Canadian dollars)

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.

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.

(in Canadian dollars)

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.

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.
the basis for calculating the quantitative portion of the collective provision for performing loans:

Internal risk rating parameters form

(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.

(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.

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 classifies 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 assets and liabilities as follows: 

Assets
Amounts receivable and prepaid expenses
Marketable securities
Investment portfolio

Liabilities
Credit facility and bank indebtedness
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

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.
Investment portfolio assets classified at FVTPL are subsequently measured at FV using level 3 inputs.
Marketable securities 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.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:

Financial assets:

The Corporation derecognizes 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.

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.

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
instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity
component of a compound financial

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.

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

Future changes in accounting policies 

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

On March 29, 2018 the IASB issued a revised version of its Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (the Framework), that
underpins IFRS Standards. The IASB also issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards to
update references in IFRS Standards to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. Both documents are effective from January
1, 2020 with earlier application permitted.

The Corporation will adopt the amendments in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2020. The
Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)

On October 31, 2018, the IASB refined its definition of material and removed the definition of material omission or misstatements from
IAS 8. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.

The definition of material has been aligned across IFRS Standards and the Framework. The amendments provide a definition and
explanatory paragraphs in one place.

Pursuant to the amendments, information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence
decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which
provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.

The Corporation will adopt the amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January
1, 2020. The Corporation does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on the financial statements.

The loans comprising the investment portfolio are stated at amortized cost and FVTPL. As at December 31, 2019 the provison for
impairment is $5,480,000, (2018 - $4,950,000) of which $5,084,000 (2018 - 4,625,000) 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, 2019, the Corporation carries a collective allowance of $396,000
(2018 - $685,000).

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 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
interests and the related interest expense is
payable (note 8). Any gross interest and fees earned on the priority participants'
recognized in income and profit.

As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the priority participants' interests in the Corporation's investment portfolio and loans
payable was $nil (December 31, 2018 - $14,718,382).

The Investment Portfolio as at December 31, 2019 had six investments with balances totaling $12,903,309 (December 31, 2018 – two
investments with balances totaling $1,474,000) with contractual interest arrears greater than 60 days past due and were not brought
current at year end, amounting to $666,620 (December 31, 2018 – $48,727), for which management has determined that no provision
for impairment is required (December 31, 2018 – $nil). Subsequent to year end, two of the six investments was paid out reducing the
balance by $2,242,562.

The investment portfolio as at December 31, 2019 includes eleven investments totaling $23,762,718 (December 31, 2018 - thirteen
investments totaling $19,735,486) with maturity dates that are past due and for which no extension or renewal was in place. Three of
the eleven investments were paid out after December 31, 2019, reducing the balance by $3,107,050. Three investments totaling
$13,034,106 (December 31, 2018 - four investments totaling $10,629,767) have an allowance 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 $7,621,561 (December 31, 2018 - five investments totaling $5,028,925) have been
determined to not require a provision.  

As at December 31, 2019, 165 of the Corporations’ 196 investments (investment amount of $440,819,005) are shared with other
participants.

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, the Corporation ranks pari passu with other members of the
syndicate as to receipt of principal, interest and fees.

31, 2018 - $32,704,070).
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 facility, a component of which is a demand facility and a component of which had a committed term
extended to September 30, 2020 (as further detailed in note 17 (c)). Bank indebtedness is secured by a general security agreement.

personnel are also directors of the Corporation and receive compensation from the Corporation's Manager. The Directors and
Officers held 542,587 shares in the Corporation as at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - 492,837).

The Corporation's Spread Interest Agreement and Mortgage Banking Agreement contain, respectively, 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 that were issued to a borrower controlled by an
independent director of the Corporation were fully repaid.

The Corporation holds a mortgage investment totaling $5,213,000 at December 31, 2019 (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, 2018 - $5,148,000). 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, 2019, the Corporation recognized interest and fees earned of $nil (2018 - $nil) from this investment. The
impairment provision recorded on this loan was reduced to $300,000 as at December 31, 2019, from $860,000 as at December 31,
2018, due to an improvement in the realization that will be generated on the underlying real estate.  

Key management compensation:

Aggregate compensation paid to key management personnel (including payments to related parties for their recovery of costs), all
consisted of short-term employee compensation of $2,122,507 for the year ended December 31, 2019 ( 2018 - $2,196,744). All of
this compensation 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.

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 following table presents the changes in related investments (at FVTPL) as at December 31, 2019

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.

Level 2

The Corporation is exposed to the symptoms and effects of global economic conditions and other factors that could adversely affect
its business, financial condition, and operating results. Many of these risk factors are beyond the Corporation's direct control. The
Corporation Manager and Board of Directors play an active role in monitoring the Corporation's key risks and in determining the
policies that are best suited to manage these risks.  There has been no change in the process since the previous year.

The Corporation's business activities, including its use of financial instruments, exposes the Corporation to various risks, the most
significant of which are interest rate risk, credit and operational risks, and liquidity risk.

(a)

Interest rate risk:

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

liabilities will fluctuate because of

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.

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, 2019, if interest rates at that date had been 100 basis points lower or higher, with all other variables held constant,

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

(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, 2019,
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 $107,961,384 as at December 31,
2019 (December 31, 2018 - $89,188,507). 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 $80 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, 2020.
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 with
another lender if not renewed.
If it is not extended at maturity, repayments under the Corporation's investment portfolio would be
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.

Contractual obligations as at December 31, 2019 are due as follows:

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 $7,780,408 for less than 1 year, $14,818,939

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.
