Financial Statements). Revenue was higher for the period ended December 31, 2011
due to better than expected rentals at the Company's residential properties in

as of January 1, 2010. 


The increase of $4,125,383 in total assets as at December 31, 2011 is primarily

Rental expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased to $1,333,962

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company reported an increase in FFO to
$956,765 compared with $746,156 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This
increase was caused primarily by an increase in dividend income and a realized
gain on marketable securities as compared with the corresponding period ended
2010. 


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"). 


FFO, or any other non-IFRS performance measure, is not intended to represent
operating profits for the period or from a property. Furthermore, it should not
be viewed as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operating activities
or similar measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.



FFO is a widely accepted supplemental measure of financial performance for real
estate entities; however, it does not represent amounts available for capital
programs, debt service obligations, commitments or uncertainties. FFO should not
be interpreted as an indicator of cash generated from operating activities and
is not indicative of cash available to fund operating expenditures, or for the
payment of cash distributions. FFO is simply one measure of operating
performance. 


For comprehensive disclosure of the Company's performance for the period ended
December 31, 2011 and its financial position as at such date, reference should
be made to: (i) the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto; and
(ii) management's discussion and analysis of financial condition at, and results
of operations for the period ended December 31, 2011, which have been filed with
applicable securities regulators on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
