Mitchell Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Urbanfund Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UFC) (the "Company"), confirmed today that the Company has filed financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as summarized below.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported earnings before other items and income taxes of $190,994 on revenues of $869,769 compared to Earnings before other items and income taxes of $313,456 on revenues of $924,990 for the corresponding period in 2010. Revenues were down during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 due to a one-time payment made by a commercial tenant for real estate taxes and common area costs in the comparative period in 2010.

Rental expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 increased to $333,506 compared to $299,402 for the corresponding period in 2010. The increase is a result of a boiler replacement at the Company's Richmond Property, pylon sign damage at its Belleville property and general increased repairs and maintenance expenditures.

Net income increased to $3,620,987 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 from $1,061,780 during the corresponding period in 2010. This increase is attributable to a fair value gain of $3,484,794 less related Deferred Income Taxes of $538,852.

Funds From Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are as follows:

    Operations (FFO)     $617,050      $669,922      $190,994      $313,456 

FFO decreased during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 to $617,050 from $669,922 for the corresponding nine month period ended September 30, 2010. During the three month period ended September 30, 2011, FFO decreased to $190,994 from $313,456 for the corresponding period ended September 30, 2010.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a non-IFRS measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS. However, FFO is an operating performance measure which is widely used by the real estate industry and the Company has calculated FFO in accordance with the recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada ("REALpac").

Financing costs were stable during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 at $264,922 from $265,260 for the corresponding period ended September 30, 2010. Administrative costs increased to $80,347 during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 from $46,872 for the corresponding period ended September 30, 2010. This increase in Administrative costs is a result of the on-going implementation of IFRS and a "catch-up" payment in property management fees.
