(TSX VENTURE:UFC) (the "Company"), confirmed today that the Company has filed its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as summarized below.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company reported earnings before other items and income taxes of $261,172 on revenues of $900,106 compared to earnings before other items and income taxes of $210,037 on revenues of $811,458 for the corresponding period in 2010. Revenues increased during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as a result of continued improvement in leasing at the Company's Richmond and Van Horne properties. Rental expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 increased to $307,193 compared to $273,214 for the corresponding period in 2010. The increase was a result of common element improvements to the Belleville Property and a one-time insurance charge.

Net income increased to $3,271,235 during the period ended March 31, 2011 from $637,684 during the corresponding period in 2010. This increase was attributable to a fair value gain of $3,484,794.

Funds from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are as follows:

		3 Months Ended March 31, 2011			3 Months Ended March 31, 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 and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, FFO may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. However, FFO is an operating performance measure which is widely used by the real estate industry. 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.

Financing costs increased slightly during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 to $262,065 from $247,744 for the corresponding period ended March 31, 2010. The increase was a result of a one-time interest expense accrual from March 2010. Administrative costs decreased to $69,676 during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 from $80,463 for the corresponding period ended March 31, 2010. This decrease in administrative costs is a result of cost savings associated with professional fees, mortgage fees and property management fees.

As at March 31, 2011, total assets were $34,576,754 compared to $31,366,395 as at December 31, 2010 as reported under IFRS. The total assets reported under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as at December 31, 2010 was $29,943,457.

The increase of $1,422,938 in total assets as at December 31, 2010 when reporting under IFRS versus Canadian GAAP was primarily due to the presentation of the Company's investment assets at fair value. The increase between December 31, 2010 under IFRS and March 31, 2011 under IFRS of $3,210,359 represents an increase in the Company's investment assets at fair value.
