Company Highlights

Timbercreek MIC’s 
objective is to preserve 
capital while generating 
attractive, inflation-
protected income for 
shareholders.

Established in 2008, Timbercreek Mortgage Investment 
Corporation (Timbercreek MIC) provides investors 
with the opportunity to invest indirectly in a diversified 
portfolio of short duration, customized mortgage and 
loan investments. The investments are primarily secured 
by income-producing real estate principally located 
in and around urban markets. Timbercreek MIC’s 
portfolio currently consists of over 95 mortgage and loan 
investments with a net aggregate value of approximate 
$317.2 million.

Short-duration mortgage and loan investments and 
early prepayment privileges drive high portfolio 
turnover. As such, Timbercreek MIC is able to charge 
higher interest rates in a rising rate environment as new 
mortgage and loan investments are placed, resulting in 
higher yields for investors. 

Additional income is generated from lender fees, which 
are collected each time a new loan is issued – 100% of 
which is paid to Timbercreek MIC, for the benefit of 
shareholders. Short-term mortgage and loan investments 
and high portfolio turnover allow shareholders to enjoy 
enhanced revenue from lender fees.

Inflationary periods, which can be tied to rising interest 
rates, also typically encourage increased real estate 
activity, driving increased demand for short-duration, 
customized loans.

Properties

Timbercreek MIC focuses on mortgage and loan investments that are primarily secured by income-producing, 
investment real estate, such as multi-residential, retirement, office, retail and industrial properties, rather than land, 
construction or single-family residential properties. Focusing on lending against income-producing real estate ensures 
that there is income from the property to service the mortgage investment, which reduces the likelihood of defaults. In 
addition, due to the increased liquidity of income-producing properties in and around urban markets, the properties 
provide less volatile values for the underlying security relative to land or construction where a slowed or stalled 
development cycle can substantially change the value.

Customized Loan Solutions for 
the Non-Bank Mortgage Sector

Real estate investors often require short-term loans to bridge a period of one to five years where they 
require temporary capital for property repairs, redevelopment or purchase of another investment. This 
segment of the Canadian borrower market is typically under-serviced by Canadian financial institutions 
that are reluctant to dedicate resources to these smaller, shorter-term mortgage investments and cannot 
typically provide the customization required to meet the borrower’s needs.

Timbercreek MIC is a market leader in the non-bank mortgage sector in Canada, providing shorter-
duration, customized financing solutions for professional real estate investors. With a sophisticated 
and service-oriented approach, focused on meeting the needs of borrowers, Timbercreek MIC is able 
to provide quick execution of mortgage and loan investments and more flexible terms than typically 
offered by Canadian financial institutions. Servicing this niche market, allows Timbercreek MIC to 
generate strong risk-adjusted returns for investors..

Special Situation: Leveraging Hands-On Property Management Expertise to Reduce Investor Risk
In October 2008, Timbercreek granted a mortgage to the owner of this Edmonton complex. However, in October 2010, the 
borrower began to have financial difficulty related to other owned assets and was unable to continue making payments 
on the loan. With its extensive real estate experience, Timbercreek was able to immediately assume management of the 
property. Timbercreek collected rents from the tenants, leased up a number of vacant units and, over a three-month period, 
was able to foreclose on the property conveying title to itself. Timbercreek invested rental income to make some minor 
improvements to the property, while also covering scheduled payments for the mortgage. After approximately seven months 
of improving and stabilizing the property, it was listed for sale and sold at a profit four months later for $1.9 million enabling 
the mortgage and all accrued interest to be repaid.

Timbercreek Mortgage Investment CorporationTimbercreek Mortgage Investment CorporationLetter to 
Shareholders
Andrew Jones

Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation 
(Timbercreek MIC) enjoyed another strong year in 
2013. Our success is built on a strategy of providing 
shorter-duration, customized financing solutions for 
professional real estate investors, which generated net 
interest income of $39.7 million. Because of these results, 
our Board of Directors approved a 6% increase to our 
dividend, increasing the monthly dividend to $0.067 per 
common share. As always, we are proud to be able to 
reward our dedicated shareholders with dividends. We have 
been providing them with dividends monthly since our 
inception in 2008.

This was a watershed year for Timbercreek MIC, as our 

Board made the proactive decision to undertake a major 
reorganization following a proposed regulatory change 
released by the Canadian Securities Administrators. On 
September 12, 2013, our shareholders approved a resolution 
to transition Timbercreek MIC from an investment 
fund to a corporate reporting issuer (a full description is 
available in the Management’s Discussion & Analysis). The 
transition benefits our shareholders by:

i. 

increasing stability with the elimination of the 
redemption feature, 

ii.  improving governance and transparency with more 

frequent financial reporting,

iii. providing shareholders with full voting rights,
iv.  eliminating trailer fees, and
v.  opening up new opportunities for growth.

We believe it is important to be a leader in our sector, 

which is why we acted on the proposed regulatory 
reforms before they were enacted into law. If we had 
waited, our ability to manage the transition would have 
been more limited. We were pleased that our investors 
overwhelmingly voted in favour of the resolution. 
Importantly, the successful underlying business model of 
Timbercreek MIC was unchanged.

As a market leader in the Canadian non-bank 
mortgage sector, our goal is to preserve capital while 
providing shareholders with strong, inflation-protected 
income. We achieve that by employing a sophisticated 
and service-oriented approach for borrowers that provides 
faster execution and more flexible terms than traditional 
financial institutions. The strength of our strategy is 
evident not only in the fact that we have exceeded our 
target yield every month since inception, but also that 
we have completed another year without any principal 
impairments.

In 2013, Canadian investment-grade real estate 

fundamentals remained stable and sustainable, leading to 
an attractive lending environment. On the investment 
front, pension funds and private investors continued 
to seek out properties with strong cash-flow, in most 
cases requiring some form of mortgage financing. The 
continued lack of activity in the commercial mortgage-
backed securities markets and tightening of bank 
regulations continues to constrain mortgage capital.

When taken together, these facts demonstrate the fact 

that deal-flow remains healthy and those with capital are 
able to invest in high-quality loans with less competitive 
pressure. Furthermore, medium-term Canadian bond 
yields continued to rise, narrowing the gap between 
institutional lenders’ and non-bank lenders’ costs of capital, 
making the latter more competitive.

As a result of our portfolio strategy and positive market 

fundamentals, our financial performance in 2013 was 
strong despite market sensitivities around rising interest 
rates. Our total assets grew by 14.3% to $467.4 million. 
In addition, we advanced 69 new investments totaling 
$198.7 million in 2013, and had additional advances on 
existing mortgage and loan investments of $42.6 million. 
We received full repayments and partial pay-downs on 
mortgage and loan investments totaling $283.1 million 
with 50 mortgage investments fully repaid in 2013. This 
reflected the quality of our mortgage and loan investments.
The redeployment of this principal continued to generate 
significant fee income, which contributed to our dividends. 

So as we look ahead to 2014 with interest rates 

expected to remain low, we are encouraged by the growth 
we are seeing in our portfolio and continued strength in 
Canadian real estate fundamentals. We are confident that 
our disciplined approach to investing will continue to 
provide our shareholders with preservation of capital.
Furthermore, with a greater than 75% turnover rate in the 
portfolio annually, shareholders will continue to benefit 
from full participation in lender fees on new mortgage and 
loan investments, providing a strong, stable, inflation-
protected income.

Subsequent to year-end, we announced the 
completion of a bought deal offering of $34.5 million 
aggregate principal amount of 6.35% convertible unsecured 
subordinated debentures due March 31, 2019. These funds 
will help us grow the portfolio in an accretive manner and 
take advantage of the low interest rate environment to 
secure low-cost, fixed-term debt.

I will conclude by thanking everyone who has been 

critical to our success this year. For their guidance 
and insight, I would like to thank our Board of Directors 
and Mortgage Advisory Committee. I would also like to 
recognize the dedication and hard work of our entire 
investment team from origination to funding – their 
expertise and experience are invaluable. Finally, to our 
shareholders, thank you for your continued confidence 
and support. Our entire team is committed to working 
on your behalf and we look forward to another year of 
success.

competition in areas that the Company may invest in and the risks detailed from time to time in

looking statements to make decisions with respect to investing in the Company, investors and 
others should carefully consider these factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events

factors, the Company and Timbercreek Asset Management Inc. (the “Manager”) do not undertake, 
and specifically disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking 
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by

Timbercreek Mortgage Investment CorporationTimbercreek Mortgage Investment CorporationBUSINESS OVERVIEW 
Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of 
the Province of Ontario by Articles of Incorporation dated April 30, 2008. On September 13, 2013, 
in connection with the Transition as explained below, the Company filed articles of amendment 
effective as of September 13, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), to amend, among other things, certain 
provisions of the articles of the Company related to the rights attached to the existing Class A, Class 
B and voting shares, and provide for the creation of a new class of common shares for which all 
existing classes of redeemable shares will be exchanged.  On November 29, 2013 (the “Exchange 
Date”), all issued and outstanding Class A and Class B shares were exchanged into common shares.

The Company invests in mortgage and loan investments selected and determined to be high 
quality by the Manager. The Company intends to qualify as a mortgage investment corporation 
(“MIC”) as defined under Section 130.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). 

The fundamental investment objectives of the Company are to:

•	

•	

Preserve shareholder capital of the Company; and

Provide shareholders with a stable stream of monthly dividends.

The Company intends on meeting its investment objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio 
of mortgage and loan investments, consisting primarily of conventional mortgage and loan 
investments secured directly by multi-residential, retirement homes, office, retail and industrial 
real property across Canada, primarily located in urban markets and surrounding areas.

TRANSITION TO PUBLIC COMPANY REGIME
On September 12, 2013, the Company received shareholder approval for the Company’s transition 
(the “Transition”) from the Canadian securities regulatory regime for investment funds to the 
regulatory regime for non-investment fund reporting issuers (the “Public Company Regime”).

Beginning on the Effective Date, the Company is subject to, and files all continuous disclosure 
materials in compliance with the Public Company Regime requirements, which includes 
preparation of its financial statements in accordance with IFRS, along with a Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis.

As part of the Transition, the Company provided a one-time special redemption right of up to 
15% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class (the “Special Redemption”). The Company 
redeemed requests from holders of 1,674,568 Class A shares and 259,771 Class B shares for the 
Special Redemption. The total redemptions payable of $18,027 were paid on November 27, 2013. 
On the Exchange Date, the Company exchanged all of the 32,829,013 outstanding Class A shares 
and 3,887,053 outstanding Class B shares into a newly created class of common shares. The 
common shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on November 29, 
2013, continuing under the symbol ‘TMC’, and the Class A shares ceased to trade after the close of 
market on November 28, 2013.

Effective September 13, 2013, the Company entered into a new management agreement with 
the Manager and terminated its management agreement with Timbercreek Asset Management 
Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manager. The Manager is responsible for the day-to-day 
operations and providing all general management, mortgage servicing and administrative services 
for the Company’s mortgage and loan investments.

Additionally, Messrs. Ugo Bizzarri and Andrew Jones have been elected as additional directors of 
the Company.

In connection with the Transition, the Company has incurred total costs of $3.8 million, which 
includes soliciting dealer fees, soliciting broker fees, audit fees, legal fees and other related costs. 
The Manager elected to assume responsibility for $0.3 million of costs relating to the Transition.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This MD&A has been prepared to provide information about the financial results of the Company 
for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Year”). This MD&A should be read in conjunction with 
the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which 
are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 
(“IASB”). 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is Canadian dollars and unless otherwise 
specified, all amounts in this MD&A are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share and 
other non-financial data. 

Copies of these documents have been filed electronically with securities regulators in Canada 
through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) and may be 
accessed through the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

this MD&A, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Company discloses 
certain financial measures not recognized under IFRS and that do not have standard meanings 
prescribed by IFRS (collectively the “non-IFRS measures”). These non-IFRS measures are further 
described below. The Company has presented such non-IFRS measures because the Manager 
believes they are relevant measures of the ability of the Company to earn and distribute cash 
dividends to shareholders and to evaluate the Company’s performance. These non-IFRS measures

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OUTLOOK
During the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Year”), the Manager continued to view Canadian 
investment-grade real estate fundamentals as being stable and sustainable, contributing to an 
attractive lending environment. 

Although REIT valuations in the public markets were more volatile, the demand for cash-flowing 
properties remained strong, with little change to healthy underlying market fundamentals. There 
were minimal adjustments to average prices (based on capitalization rates) in most asset classes, 
with some asset classes, such as rental apartments and class A commercial properties, remaining 
generally flat.   

There was a diminishing supply of mortgage capital in the second half of the Year as a result of 
institutional lenders meeting their annual allocations, and the continued lack of activity in the 
Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities market. In addition, there was less competition from 
non-bank lenders, as a result of substantially less new capital being raised in the public markets 
in comparison to 2012. In addition, certain publically traded non-bank lenders actually saw their 
availability of capital shrink as they were required to meet redemption requests from shareholders, 
further limiting the supply of non-bank mortgage financing. At the same time, deal flow

Timbercreek Mortgage Investment CorporationTimbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation 
 
remained healthy, allowing those with capital available to invest in high quality mortgage and loan 
investments with less pressure from competitors.

In the second half of the year, medium-term Canadian bond yields continued to rise, further 
narrowing the gap between institutional lenders’ and non-bank lenders’ cost of capital, making the 
non-bank lenders more competitive.

Given these factors and the resulting environment, the Manager is very comfortable that it can 
continue to meet the investment objectives of the Company, particularly as the Company is 
able to take advantage of its strategic relationship with Timbercreek Senior Mortgage Investment 
Corporation (“TSMIC”) to offer flexible lending solutions to qualified borrowers.

Given the current availability of high quality mortgage and loan investments and general 
market trends observed by the Manager, there has been no need to modify the Company’s Asset 
Allocation Model (“AAM”) during the Year. The Manager and the Mortgage Advisory Committee 
(“MAC”) continue to place emphasis on mortgage and loan investments secured by cash-flowing 
real estate assets, a geographically diversified portfolio and larger, individual mortgage and loan 
investments secured by institutional quality real estate assets. This strategy is expected to continue 
TIMBERCREEK MORTGAGE INVESTMENT CORPORATION 
throughout 2014 and beyond.

In summary, the Company has been competitive and successful in establishing itself as a market

leader in the non-bank mortgage sector in Canada. The Manager believes this success is a result 
of being conservative and selective in making mortgage and loan investments that meet the

Management fees
(a)  Management fees
As part of the Transition, the Company has entered into a new management agreement with 
Timbercreek Asset Management Inc. (the “Manager”) and terminated its management agreement 
with Timbercreek Asset Management Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manager. Under 
the new management agreement, the Company pays the Manager an annual management fee 
of 1.20% per annum of the gross assets of the Company, calculated and paid monthly in arrears, 
plus applicable taxes. The gross assets are calculated as the total assets of the Company before 
deducting any liabilities, less any amounts that are reflected as mortgage syndication liabilities 
related to syndicated mortgage investments. 

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred management fees 
of $1.2 million and $5.0 million (Q4 2012 – $1.2 million; 2012 – $4.8 million). The management fee 
has increased due to an increase in the average net mortgage and loan investment portfolio over 
the Year.

(b)  Performance fees
Under the new management agreement, the Manager continues to be entitled to a performance 
fee. In any calendar year where the Company has net earnings available for distribution to 
shareholders in excess of the hurdle rate (the “Hurdle Rate”), which is defined as the average two-
year Government of Canada Bond Yield for the 12-month period then ended plus 450 basis points, 
the Manager is entitled to receive from the Company a performance fee equal to 20% of the net 
earnings of the Company available to distribute over the Hurdle Rate. The net earnings of the 
Company shall mean the net income before performance fees of the Company in accordance with 
applicable accounting principles and adjusted for certain other non-cash adjustments as defined 
in the management agreement. The performance fee is payable to the Manager within 15 days of 
the issuance of the Company’s audited financial statements for that calendar year.

During the Year, the Manager accrued a Performance Fee of $2.0 million (2012 – $2.5 million). The 
annualized Hurdle Rate for the Year was 5.61% (2012 – 5.61%).

Trailer fees
In conjunction with the shareholder approval for the Transition, the Company is no longer 
required to pay trailer fees to the brokers effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Prior 
to Q3 2013, the Company paid each registered dealer a trailer fee equal to 0.50% annually of the 
net redemption value per Class A share held by clients of the registered dealer, calculated and paid 
at the end of each calendar quarter. For the Year, the Company incurred trailer fees of $0.7 million 
(2012 – $1.4 million) for Class A shares.

Transition-related costs
In connection with the Transition, the Company incurred a one-time expense of $3.8 million, 
which includes soliciting dealer fees of $2.5 million, soliciting broker fees of $0.7 million and audit, 
legal and other related fees of $0.6 million. The Manager elected to assume responsibility for $0.3 
million of costs relating to the Transition.

General and administrative
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred general and 
administrative expenses of $0.4 million and $0.9 million (Q4 2012 – $0.3 million; 2012 – $0.8 
million). General and administrative expenses consist mainly of audit fees, professional fees, 
director fees and other operating costs associated with operating the Company and administration 
of the mortgage and loan investement portfolio. The operating expenses ratio equates to 0.3% of 
the average net mortgage and loan investments portfolio for the Year (2012 – 0.2%). The increase is 
mainly due to costs associated with additional reporting requirements. 

Interest on credit facility
Financing costs include interest paid on amounts drawn on the Credit Facility, stand-by fees 
charged on unutilized Credit Facility amounts and amortization of financing costs which were 
incurred on closing of the Credit Facility. Financing costs for the three months and year ended 
December 31, 2013 were $0.2 million and $0.5 million (Q4 2012 - $0.09 million and 2012 – $0.4 
million).

Issuance costs of redeemable shares
As the Class A and B shares were classified as liabilities under IFRS, the issuance costs associated 
with periodic equity offerings were recorded as financing costs and were recognized in profit and 
loss. For the Year, the Company incurred issuance costs of $3 (2012 – $27) relating to the issuance

(December 31, 2012 – 69.5%), well below the AAM’s ceiling of 85%. 

Foreclosed properties held for sale
Duing the Year, the Company foreclosed on two properties and reclassified the carrying amount of 
the outstanding principal, interest receivable and related impairment provision on the underlying 
security, as of the dates of foreclosure, to foreclosed properties held for sale. The fair value of the 
foreclosed  properties held for sale as at December 31, 2013 is $11.4 million (December 31, 2012 – 
nil), which is based on valuations by independent external appraisers accredited by professional 
TIMBERCREEK MORTAGE INVESTMENT CORPORATION   17  
institutes with recent experience in the location of the properties being valued. The Company has 
engaged a third party manager to operate the properties while they are held for sale.

Provision for mortgage and loan investments loss
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 the Company has recognized an 
impairment provision of $950,000 and $2,150,000 (Q4 2012 – Nil, 2012 – Nil) relating to impaired 
mortgage investments, which represents the total amount of the Manager’s estimate of the 
shortfall between the principal balances and accrued interest and the estimated recoverable 
amount of the underlying security of the mortgage investment. Overall, this provision exquates to 
approximately 0.68% of the net mortgage and loan investments and foreclosed properties held for 
sale of the Company. During the Year, the Company foreclosed two properties and $1.6 million was 
reclassified from impairment provision to foreclosed closed properties held for sale.

Net working capital
The net working capital increased by $11.9 million to $12.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $0.1 
million at December 31, 2012, mainly due to the cash on hand from the repayment of the loan 
investment in December 2013. The Company has available its Credit Facility to manage its working 
capital while ensuring idle cash is minimized.

Credit facility
In November 2013, the Company amended the terms of its Credit Facility with its bank. Under the 
amended terms, the Company was provided a temporary bulge of $18.1 million to fund the Special 
Redemption. The bulge was repaid in full prior to December 31, 2013. Following repayment of the 
bulge the Credit Facility limit was $25.0 million (December 31, 2012 – $25.0 million). The Credit 
Facility is primarily used to bridge timing differences between new mortgage and loan advances 
and repayments or follow-on equity offerings. The Credit Facility expires in October 2014 and 
is subject to an interest rate equal to the bank’s prime rate of interest plus 1.50% (December 31, 
2012 – bank’s prime rate of interest plus 1.50%). The Credit Facility is secured by a general security 
agreement over the Company’s assets. As at December 31, 2013, no amount was outstanding on 
the Credit Facility (December 31, 2012 – $8.8 million).

Interest paid related to the Credit Facility is amortized to financing costs using the effective interest 
rate method. For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest on the Credit Facility of $0.5 million 
(December 31, 2012 –$0.4 million), was amortized to financing costs.

As at December 31, 2013, there were $0.1 million (December 31, 2012 – $0.1 million) in unamortized 
financing costs related to the Credit Facility. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company 
has amortized financing costs of $0.1 million (2012 – $0.1 million) respectively, to interest expense 
using the effective interest rate method.

Net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares
Under IFRS, IAS 32 requires that shares of an entity, which include a contractual obligation for 
the issuer to repurchase or redeem the shares for cash or another financial asset, to be classified 
as a financial liability. Prior to the Transition, the Company’s Class A and Class B shares did not 
meet the criteria in IAS 32 for classification as equity and therefore, were classified as financial 
liabilities. In addition, the dividends and issuance costs related to these shares were also presented 
as financing costs in the statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). 
Subsequent to the Transition, as described in the ‘Transition to Public Company Regime’ section 
of this MD&A, Class A and Class B shares were exchanged into common shares and are classified 
as shareholders’ equity.

During the Year, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 508,647 Class B 
shares, for gross proceeds of $5.0 million (2012 – 3,400,573; $34.0 million). 

Dividend reinvestment plan
As part of the Transition, the Company has amended and restated its dividend reinvestment plan 
(“DRIP”) effective as of November 20, 2013. The amended and restated DRIP (the “Amended DRIP”) 
replaces in its entirety the original DRIP (the “Original DRIP”) established by the Company on May 
19, 2010.

The Amended DRIP provides eligible beneficial and registered holders of common shares of the 
Company with a means to reinvest dividends declared and payable on such common shares in 
additional common shares. 

Under the Amended DRIP, shareholders may enroll to have their cash dividends reinvested to 
purchase additional common shares. The common shares are issued from treasury at a price of 
95% of the average of the daily volume weighted average closing price on the TSX for the 5 trading 
days preceding payment, the price of which will not be less than the book value per commons. 
During the Year, 393,522 (2012 – 388,288) Class A shares were issued under the Original DRIP 
using reinvested dividends of $3.7 million (2012 – $3.9 million) and 35,250 (2012 – nil) common 
shares were issued under the Amended DRIP using reinvested dividends of $0.3 million. Of these, 
194,948 Class A shares and 35,250 common shares were acquired from the market under the DRIP.

Normal course issuer bid
On June 6, 2013, the Company received the approval of the TSX to commence a normal course 
issuer bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation up to 3,476,193 Class A shares; representing 
approximately 10% of the Class A shares float on June 4, 2013. The purchases were limited, during 
any 30-day period during the term of the NCIB to 695,458 Class A shares in the aggregate.  The 
NCIB commenced on June 18, 2013, and provides the Company with the flexibility to repurchase 
TIMBERCREEK MORTGAGE INVESTMENT CORPORATION 
Class A shares for cancellation, with an expiry date of June 9, 2014, or such earlier date as the 
NCIB is complete. From June 18, 2013 to November 29, 2013, the date of the exchange of the 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
Company’s Class A shares to common shares, the Company purchased for cancellation 362,800 
Class A shares at a cost of $3,352. Following the exchange of the Class A Shares, further purchases 
For the year ended December 31, 2013  
pursuant to a NCIB will require the re-filing of certain documentation with the TSX in respect of

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As at December 31, 2013, due to Manager includes management and performance fees payable of 
$2,347 (December 31, 2012 – $2,461) and $3 (December 31, 2012 - $9) related to costs incurred by 
the Manager on behalf of the Company.

As at December 31, 2013, the Company, Timbercreek Global Real Estate Fund (“TGREF”) and 
Timbercreek Four Quadrant Global Real Estate Partners (“T4Q”), related parties by virtue of 
common management, have co invested in three (December 31, 2012 – two) mortgage 
investments amounting to $21,210 (December 31, 2012 – $29,850). On December 24, 2013, the 
loan investment, which was co-invested in by these related parties was repaid in full, leaving a 
balance of nil (December 31, 2012 – $16,521) as at December 31, 2013. As at December 31, 2013, no 
amount (December 31, 2012 – $213) is receivable from T4Q and no amount (December 31, 2012 
– $44) is payable to TGREF in relation to these investments. Timbercreek Asset Management Ltd., 
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manger, has been retained by TGREF and T4Q to provide fund 
management and portfolio advisory services.

As at December 31, 2013, the Company and Timbercreek Senior Mortgage Investment Corporation 
(“TSMIC”), a related party by virtue of common management, have co-invested in several mortgage 
investments, totaling $681,961 (December 31, 2012 – $392,870), which are secured primarily by 
multi-residential, office, retail, retirement and other commercial properties. The Company holds 
subordinated positions in these co-investments in relation to TSMIC. The Company’s net share 
in these investments is $215,999 (December 31, 2012 – $86,202), and included in this amount is a

received from the borrowers.

The Manager has borne total costs of $250 relating to the Transition and are not included in the 
Transition related costs in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation 
and claims arising from investing in mortgages and loans. Where required, management records 
adequate provisions in the accounts. 

Although it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of potential costs and losses, if any, 
management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a 
material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the 
Company’s accounting policies. The critical accounting estimates and judgments have been 
set out in detail in note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 
December 31, 2013.

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for 
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and have not been applied in preparing the 
consolidated financial statements of the Company. Those which may be relevant to the Company 
are set out below.  The Company does not plan to adopt these standards early.

(i)  IFRS 9, Financial instruments, (“IFRS 9”):
In November 2009 the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 (2009)), and in 
October 2010 published amendments to IFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2010)). IFRS 9 (2009) introduces 
new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 
9 (2009), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in 
which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 (2010) 
introduces additional changes relating to financial liabilities. The mandatory effective date 
is not yet determined. The extent of the impact of adoption of these amendments has not 
yet been determined.

(ii)  IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”):
In December 2011, the IASB published Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 
and issued new disclosure requirements in IFRS 7. The effective date for the amendments 
to IAS 32 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. These amendments are 
to be applied retrospectively. The Company intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 32 
in its consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2014. 
The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a significant 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(iii)  Levies
In 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRIC 21, “Levies” 
(“IFRIC 21”). The IFRIC addresses accounting for a liability to pay a levy within the scope 
of IAS 37, “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets” (“IAS 37”). A levy is an 
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits that is imposed by governments 
on entities in accordance with legislation, other than income taxes within the scope of 
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and is to be applied retrospectively.  
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new interpretation on its 
consolidated financial statements.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA
As at March 5, 2013, the Company’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of 
common shares, of which 36,964,028 are issued and outstanding.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND LIQUIDITY
Capital structure
The Company manages its capital structure in order to support ongoing operations while 
focusing on its primary objectives of preserving shareholder capital and generating a stable 
monthly cash dividend to shareholders. The Company defines its capital structure to include 
common shares and the Credit Facility.

Liquidity
Access to liquidity is an important element of the Company as it allows the Company to 
implement its investment strategy. The Company intends to qualify as a MIC as defined under 
Section 130.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and as a result is required to distribute not less 
than 100% of the taxable income of the Company to its shareholders. The Company manages its 
liquidity position through various sources of cash flows including cash generated from operations, 
equity offerings and the Credit Facility. The Company routinely forecasts cash flow sources and 
requirements to ensure cash is efficiently utilized. In addition, the Company has the borrowing

The Company’s use of financial instruments exposes the Company to various related risks, which 
are outlined in note 17 of the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s future 
performance and its ability to execute on its investment objectives. We have processes and 
procedures in place in an attempt to control or mitigate certain risks, while other risks cannot 
be or are not mitigated. Material risks that cannot be mitigated include a significant decline in 
the general real estate market, interest rates changing markedly, being unable to make mortgage 
and loan investments at rates consistent with rates historically achieved, not having adequate 
mortgage and loan investment opportunities presented to us, and not having adequate sources of 
bank financing available. 

For a full discussion of the risks and uncertainties, please also refer to the “Risk Factors” section of 
our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES & INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL 
REPORTING
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant 
information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the CEO and CFO on a 
timely basis so appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosures. 

The preparation of this information is supported by a set of disclosure controls and procedures 
(“DC&P”) implemented by management. In fiscal 2013, these controls and procedures were 
reviewed and the effectiveness of their design and operation was evaluated. This evaluation 
confirmed the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures 
as at December 31, 2013. The evaluation was performed in accordance with the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) control framework adopted 
by the Company and the requirements of National Instrument 52-109 of the Canadian Securities 
Administrators titled, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings.

The Company continues to review the design of disclosure controls and procedures to 
provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is properly 
communicated to certifying officers responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure 
controls and procedures, as those terms are defined in National Instrument 52-109 certification 
of disclosure in issuers’ annual and interim filings as at December 31, 2013. The Company 
confirmed the effectiveness of the design of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) 
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial statements and information 
the Company may, from time to time, make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and 
ensuring that our systems evolve with our business.

There were no changes made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during 
the year ended December 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to 
materially affect, the Company’s  internal controls over financial reporting.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders of Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Timbercreek Mortgage 
Investment Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial 
position as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the consolidated statements of net 
income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and net assets 
attributable to holders of redeemable shares and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, 
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on 
our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our 
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider 
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

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

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 
and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then 
ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

TIMBERCREEK MORTGAGE INVESTMENT CORPORATION   6 

Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation (the “Company”) is a mortgage investment 
corporation domiciled in Canada. The registered office of the Company is 1000 Yonge Street, Suite 
500, Toronto, Ontario M4W 2K2.

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario by Articles of 
Incorporation dated April 30, 2008. Effective September 13, 2013 (the “Effective Date”),  the 
Company filed articles of amendment with the Ministry of Government Services of Ontario 
in connection with the Transition, as defined in note 1 below, to amend, among other things, 
certain provisions of the articles of the Company related to the rights attached to the existing 
redeemable Class A, Class B and voting classes of shares, and provide for the creation of a new 
class of common shares for which all existing classes of redeemable shares will be exchanged on 
November 29, 2013. 

The investment objective of the Company is, with a primary focus on capital preservation, to 
acquire and maintain a diversified portfolio of mortgage and loan investments that generate 
income allowing the Company to pay monthly dividends to shareholders. 

1.  TRANSITION TO PUBLIC COMPANY REGIME
On September 12, 2013, the Company received shareholder approval for the Company’s transition 
(the “Transition”) from the Canadian securities regulatory regime for investment funds to the 
regulatory regime for non-investment fund reporting issuers (the “Public Company Regime”).

Beginning on the Effective Date, the Company is subject to and files all continuous disclosure 
materials in compliance with the Public Company Regime requirements, which includes 
preparation of its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”), along with a Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

As part of the Transition, the Company provided a one-time special redemption right of up to 
15% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class (the “Special Redemption”). The Company 
redeemed requests from holders of 1,674,568 Class A shares and 259,771 Class B shares for the 
Special Redemption. The total redemption payable of $18,026,557 was paid on November 27, 
2013. On November 29, 2013 (the “Exchange Date”), the Company exchanged all of the 32,829,013 
outstanding Class A shares and 3,887,053 outstanding Class B Shares into a newly created class of 
common shares. The common shares commenced trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) 
on November 29, 2013, continuing under the symbol ‘TMC’ and the Class A shares ceased to trade 
after the close of market on November 28, 2013.

Also effective September 13, 2013, the Company entered into a new management agreement with 
Timbercreek Asset Management Inc. (the “Manager”) and terminated its management agreement 
with Timbercreek Asset Management Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manager. The 
Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations and providing all general management, 
mortgage servicing and administrative services for the Company’s mortgage and loan 
investments.

Additionally, Messrs. Ugo Bizzarri and Andrew Jones have been elected as additional directors of 
the Company.

In connection with the Transition, the Company has incurred total costs of $3,780,417, which 
includes soliciting dealer fees, soliciting broker fees, audit fees, legal fees and other related 
costs.  Timbercreek Asset Management Inc., in its capacity as the Manager, elected to assume 
responsibility for $250,000 of costs relating to the Transition.

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a)  Statement of compliance:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and were approved by the Board of 
Directors on March 5, 2014.

(b)  Functional and presentation currency:
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional 
currency of the Company.

(c)  Basis of measurement:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except 
for foreclosed properties held for sale and foreign exchange forward contract and which are 
measured at fair value on each reporting date.

(d)  Principles of consolidation:
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly 
owned subsidiaries including Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Fund. All intercompany 
transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

(e)  Use of estimates and judgments:
In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the Manager has made judgments, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and 
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from 
these estimates.

In making estimates, the Manager relies on external information and observable conditions 
where possible, supplemented by internal analysis as required. Those estimates and judgments 
have been applied in a manner consistent with the prior period and there are no known trends, 
commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or 
assumptions utilized in making those estimates and judgments in these consolidated financial 
statements. The significant estimates and judgments used in determining the recorded amount 
for assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Mortgage and loan investments:
The Company is required to make an assessment of the impairment of mortgage and loan 
investments. Mortgage and loan investments are considered to be impaired only if objective 
evidence indicates that one or more events (“loss events”) have occurred after its initial 
recognition, that have a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. The 
estimation of future cash flows includes assumptions about local real estate market conditions, 
market interest rates, availability and terms of financing, underlying value of the security and 
various other factors. These assumptions are limited by the availability of reliable comparable 
market data, economic uncertainty and the uncertainty of future events. Accordingly, by their 
nature, estimates of impairment are subjective and may not necessarily be comparable to the 
actual outcome. Should the underlying assumptions change, the estimated future cash flows 
could vary.

Measurement of fair values:
The Company’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 Company uses market observable data 
where possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on 
the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

•	

•	

•	

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3:  Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that 
is, unobservable inputs).

The Manager reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party 
information, such as broker quotes or appraisals are used to measure fair values, the Manager 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 the following 
notes:

Note 5 - Foreclosed properties held for sale; and

Note 18 - Fair value measurements.

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)  Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months 
or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an 
insignificant risk of changes in value to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are 
classified as loans and receivables and carried at amortized cost.

(b)  Mortgage and loan investments:
The mortgage and loan investments are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly 
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the mortgage and loan investments 
are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. 
The mortgage and loan investments are assessed on each reporting date to determine whether 
there is objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset is considered to be impaired only if 
objective evidence indicates that one or more loss events have occurred after its initial recognition, 
that have a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. 

The Company considers evidence of impairment for mortgage and loan investments at both a 
specific asset and collective level. All individually significant mortgage and loan investments are 
assessed for specific impairment. Those found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively 
assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identifiable at an individual 
mortgage level. Mortgage and loan investments that are not individually significant are collectively 
assessed for impairment by grouping together mortgage and loan investments with similar risk 
characteristics.  

In assessing collective impairment, the Company reviews historical trends of the probability of 
default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s 
judgments as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses 
are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.    

An impairment loss in respect of specific mortgage and loan investments is calculated as the 
difference between its carrying amount including accrued interest and the present value of the 
estimated future cash flows discounted at the investment’s original effective interest rate. Losses 
are recognized in profit and loss and reflected in an allowance account against the mortgage and 
loan investments. When a subsequent event causes the amount of an impairment loss to decrease, 
the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

(c)  Foreclosed properties held for sale:
When the Company obtains legal title of the underlying security of an impaired mortgage 
investment, the carrying value of the mortgage investment, which comprises of principal, costs 
incurred, accrued interest and a provision for mortgage investment loss, if any, is reclassified from 
mortgage and loan investments to foreclosed properties held for sale (“FPHFS”). At each reporting 
date, FPHFS are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in profit or loss in 
the period they arise. The Company uses management’s best estimate to determine fair value 
of the properties, which may involve frequent inspections, engaging realtors to assess market 
conditions based on previous property transactions or, retaining professional appraisers to provide 
independent valuations. 

Contractual interest on the mortgage or loan investment is discontinued from the date of transfer 
from mortgage and loan investments to FPHFS. Net income or loss generated from FPHFS 
(including fair value adjustments), if any, is recorded as net operating income or loss from FPHFS.

(d)  Foreign exchange forward contract:
The Company holds a derivative financial instrument to hedge its foreign currency risk exposure. 
Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value, with transaction costs recognized in profit or loss 
as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value at the end of 
each reporting period. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss unless the derivative 
is designated and effective as a hedging instrument under IFRS. The Company has elected to not 
account for its derivative instrument as a hedge.

38

39

Timbercreek Mortgage Investment CorporationTimbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation(e)  Dividends:
Dividends payable to holders of common shares are recognized in the consolidated statement 
of changes in shareholders’ equity and net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares. 
Prior to the Transition, dividends payable to holders of redeemable shares were recognized in the 
consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as financing costs. 

(f)  Income taxes:
It is the intention of the Company to qualify as a mortgage investment corporation (“MIC”) for 
Canadian income tax purposes. As such, the Company is able to deduct, in computing its income 
for a taxation year, dividends paid to its shareholders during the year or within 90 days of the 
end of the year. The Company intends to maintain its status as a MIC and pay dividends to its 
shareholders in the year and in future years to ensure that it will not be subject to income taxes. 
Accordingly, for financial statement reporting purposes, the tax deductibility of the Company’s 
dividends results in the Company being effectively exempt from taxation and no provision for 
current or deferred taxes is required for the Company and its subsidiaries. 

(g)  Financial instruments:
Financial instruments are classified as one of the following:  (i) fair value through profit and 
loss (“FVTPL”), (ii) loans and receivables, (iii) held-to-maturity, (iv) available-for-sale, or (v) other 
liabilities. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial 
instruments not FVTPL any incremental direct transaction costs. Financial assets and liabilities 
classified as FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in 
profit and loss. Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other 
liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Available-for-sale financial instruments 
are subsequently measured at fair value and any unrealized gains and losses are recognized 
through other comprehensive income. The classifications of the Company’s financial instruments 
are outlined in note 18.

Prior to the Transition, net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares were carried on the 
consolidated statements of financial position at net asset value. The presentation of net assets 
attributable to holders of redeemable shares reflected, in total, that the interests of the holders were 
limited to the net assets of the Company. After the Transition, redeemable shares were exchanged 
to common shares and are classified as shareholders’ equity in the statement of financial position 
as at December 31, 2013, as outlined in note 1.

(h)  Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:
Financial assets:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows 
from the financial asset expire; 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 Company 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 
Company 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 (i) the consideration received (including any new 
asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been 
recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. 

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers mortgage investments recognized on 
its statement of financial position, but retains either all, substantially all, or a portion of the risks 
and rewards of the transferred mortgage 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 Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and it retains control over the asset, the Company 
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 Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under the liability is 
discharged, cancelled or expires.

(i)  Interest and fee income:
Interest income is accounted for using the effective interest method.  Lender fees received are an 
integral part of the yield on the mortgage or loan investments and are amortized to profit and loss 
over the expected life of the specific mortgage or loan investment using the effective interest rate 

method. Forfeited lender fees are taken to profit and loss at the time a borrower has not fulfilled the 
terms and conditions of a lending commitment and payment has been received.

(j)  Changes in accounting policies: 
Except for the changes below, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies 
set out to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company has 
adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential 
amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2013.

a)  IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (2011)

b)  IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

c)  IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

d)  IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

e)  Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1)

f)  IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011)

With the exception of IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurements, there were no material effects upon 
adoption of these new standards and amendments to standards.

IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair 
value measurements when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies 
the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It replaces 
and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including 
IFRS 7. As a result, the Company has included additional disclosures in this regard (see notes 2(e), 5 
and 18). 

(k)  Future changes in accounting policies:
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual 
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 and have not been applied in preparing these 
consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Company are set out below. 
The Company does not plan to adopt these standards early.

(i)  IFRS 9, Financial instruments, (“IFRS 9”):
In November 2009 the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9 (2009)), and in 
October 2010 published amendments to IFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2010)). IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new 
requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9 (2009), 
financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are 
held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additional 
changes relating to financial liabilities. The mandatory effective date is not yet determined. 
The extent of the impact of adoption of these amendments has not yet been determined.

(ii)  IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”):
In December 2011, the IASB published Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and 
issued new disclosure requirements in IFRS 7. The effective date for the amendments to IAS 32 
is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. These amendments are to be applied 
retrospectively. The Company intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 32 in its consolidated 
financial statements for the annual period beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not 
expect the implementation of these standards to have a significant impact on the consolidated 
financial statements.

(iii) Levies
In 2013, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRIC 21, “Levies” (“IFRIC 
21”). The IFRIC addresses accounting for a liability to pay a levy within the scope of IAS 37, 
“Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets” (“IAS 37”). A levy is an outflow of 
resources embodying economic benefits that is imposed by governments on entities in 
accordance with legislation, other than income taxes within the scope of annual periods 
beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company 
is currently assessing the impact of the new interpretation on its consolidated financial 
statements.

(c) Non-recourse m ortgage syndication liabilities: 

The Company has entered into certain mortgage participation agreements with mainly third party lenders, 
42
using senior and subordinated participation, whereby the third party lenders take the senior position and the 

Company retains the subordinated position. The Company generally retains an option to repurchase the senior 

position, but not the obligation, at a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the lenders’ 

proportionate share together with all accrued interest. Under certain participation agreements, the Company 

has retained a residual portion of the credit and/or default risk as it is holding the residual interest in the 

mortgage investment and therefore has not met the de-recognition criteria. As a result, the lender’s portion of 

the mortgage is recorded as a mortgage investment with the transferred position recorded as a non-recourse 

mortgage syndication liability. The interest and fees earned on the transferred participation interests and the 

related interest expense is recognized in profit and loss. In addition, the Company may sell pari-pasu interests in 

certain mortgage investments which meet the criteria for de-recognition under IFRS. The difference between 

the carrying value of such interest sold and the proceeds on sale are recognized as gain or loss in profit and loss. 

For those investments which have not met the derecognition criteria, the participation transactions have 

resulted in the Company recognizing the participating mortgages and corresponding non-recourse mortgage 

syndication liabilities on its statements of financial position. As at December 31, 2013 the carrying value of the 

transferred assets and corresponding non-recourse liabilities is $124,378,929 (December 31, 2012 – $38,407,891). 

The Company has also recognized interest and fee income and a corresponding interest and fee expense of 

$4,376,377 (December 31, 2012- $2,260,275) in the statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income

investment and therefore has not met the de-recognition criteria. As a result, the lender’s portion 
of the mortgage is recorded as a mortgage investment with the transferred position recorded as 
a non-recourse mortgage syndication liability. The interest and fees earned on the transferred 
participation interests and the related interest expense is recognized in profit and loss. In addition, 
the Company may sell pari-pasu interests in certain mortgage investments which meet the criteria 
for de-recognition under IFRS. The difference between the carrying value of such interest sold and 
the proceeds on sale are recognized as gain or loss in profit and loss.

(December 31, 2012 – $25,000,000). The Credit Facility is primarily used to bridge timing 
differences between new mortgage advances and repayments or follow-on equity offerings. The 
Credit Facility expires in October 2014 and is subject to an interest rate equal to the bank’s prime 
rate of interest plus 1.50% (December 31, 2012 – bank’s prime rate of interest plus 1.50%). The Credit 
Facility is secured by a general security agreement over the Company’s assets. As at December 31, 
2013, no amount was outstanding on the Credit Facility (December 31, 2012 – $8,836,425).

Interest costs related to the Credit Facility are recorded in financing costs using the effective 
interest rate method. For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest on the Credit Facility of 
$474,778 (December 31, 2012 –$351,882), is included in financing costs.

Manager effective from September 13, 2013. Under the new management agreement, the 
Company shall pay to the Manager, a management fee equal to 1.20% per annum of the gross 
assets of the Company, calculated and paid monthly in arrears, plus applicable taxes. Gross Assets 
is defined as the total assets of the Company before deducting any liabilities, less any amounts 
that are reflected as mortgage syndicated liabilities related to syndicated mortgage investments 
that are held by third parties. The initial term of the new management agreement is 10 years from 
the Effective Date and is automatically renewed for successive five year terms at the expiration of 
the initial term. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred management fees 
of $4,974,029 (2012 – $4,812,148).

Under the new management agreement, the Manager continues to be entitled to a performance 
fee. In any calendar year where the Company has net earnings available for distribution to 
shareholders in excess of the hurdle rate (the “Hurdle Rate”), which is defined as the average 
two-year Government of Canada Bond Yield for the 12-month period then ended plus 450 basis 
points, the Manager is entitled to receive from the Company a performance fee equal to 20% of 
the net earnings of the Company available to distribute over the Hurdle Rate. The net earnings of 
the Company shall mean the net income before performance fees of the Company in accordance 
with applicable accounting principles and adjusted for certain other non-cash adjustments as 
defined in the management agreement. The performance fee is payable to the Manager within 15 
days of the issuance of the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for that 
calendar year.

The performance fees accrued for the year ended December 31, 2013 is $1,940,688 (December 31, 
2012 - $2,460,947).

(b)  Trailer fees:
Prior to September 13, 2013, the Company paid each registered dealer a trailer fee equal to 0.50% 
annually of the net redemption value per Class A share for each Class A share held by clients 
of the registered dealer, calculated and paid at the end of each calendar quarter. The Company 
paid $737,199 in Class A service fee for the year ended December 31, 2013 (2012 – $1,432,823). In 
conjunction with the Transition, effective September 13, 2013 the Company no longer pays trailer 
fees on Class A shares to registered dealers.

13.  NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share has been calculated as if the Transition occurred on January 1, 2013 and as a 
result, dividends to holders of redeemable shares and issuance costs of redeemable shares for the 
year ended December 31, 2013 have been added back to the net loss of the Company.

15.  INCOME TAXES

2032 if not used. The Company also has future deductible temporary differences resulting from 
share issuances, prepaid mortgage and loan interest, unearned income and financing costs for 
income tax purposes of $12,040,000 (December 31, 2012 – $12,340,075).

16.  CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure in order to support ongoing operations while 
focusing on its primary objectives of preserving shareholder capital and generating a stable 
monthly cash dividend to shareholders.  The Company defines its capital structure to include 
common shares and the Credit Facility.

The Company reviews its capital structure on an ongoing basis and adjusts its capital structure in 
response to mortgage and loan investment opportunities, the availability of capital and anticipated 
changes in general economic conditions.

17. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company 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 Company’s direct control. The Manager and Board of Directors 
play an active role in monitoring the Company’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 Company’s business activities, including its use of financial instruments, exposes the 
Company to various risks, the most significant of which are interest rate risk, credit risk, and 
liquidity risk.

(a)  Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial assets or financial 
liabilities will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2013, 
$25,258,477 of mortgage and loan investments (December 31, 2012 – nil) bear interest at variable 
rates; however out of these, $22,858,477 of mortgage investments include a “floor rate” to protect 
its negative exposure and one mortgage investment of $2,400,000 bears interest at a variable 
rate without a floor rate. If there were a decrease of 0.50% in interest rates, with all other variables 
constant, the impact from variable rate mortgage investments would be a decrease in net income 
of $12,000. However, if there were a 0.50% increase in interest rates, with all other variables 
constant, it would result in an increase in net income of $126,292. The Company manages its 
sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations by generally entering into fixed rate mortgage and loan 
investments or adding a “floor-rate” to protect its negative exposure.

In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk on the Credit Facility, which has a balance 
of nil as at December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012 - $8,836,425).  Based on the outstanding balance 
of the Credit Facility as at December 31, 2013,  a 0.50% decrease in interest rates, with all other 
variables constant, will increase net income by nil (December 31, 2012 – $44,182) annually, arising 
mainly as a result of lower interest expense payable on the Credit Facility. A 0.50% increase in 
interest rates would have an equal but opposite effect on the net income of the Company. 

The Company’s interest receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, prepaid 
mortgage and loan interest, mortgage funding holdbacks, dividends payable and due to Manager 
have no exposure to interest rate risk due to their short-term nature. Cash and cash equivalents 
and restricted cash carry a variable rate of interest and are subject to minimal interest rate risk.

in note 1, all the outstanding redeemable shares were exchanged to common shares on the 
Exchange Date.

19.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation 
and claims arising from investing in mortgages and loans. Where required, management records 
adequate provisions in the accounts. 

Although it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of potential costs and losses, if any, 
management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a 
material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
