FFO was calculated as follows:…

         
Three months ended March 31        
(In thousands of dollars except for per share amounts)   2013   2012
Net income attributable to common shareholders   $99,649   $51,662
Items not affecting cash:        
  Fair value gains on real estate properties   (26,347)   (4,776)
  Fair value gain on Residential REIT Units   (5,261)   -
  Non-controlling interest's share of fair value gain on real estate properties   50   142
  Future income taxes   855   6,162
  Depreciation on owner occupied property   26   26
  Equity income from Morguard REIT   (32,524)   (19,348)
  Morguard REIT's equity accounted FFO   10,690   8,788

Funds from operations   $47,138   $42,671
Funds from operations        
    Per share amounts - basic and diluted   $3.73   $3.30

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded FFO of $47,138 ($3.73 per share) compared to $42,671 ($3.30 per share) in 2012.  The increase in FFO of $4,467 is mainly due to an increase in NOI of $5,622, an increase in other income of $15,532 (predominantly due to an arbitration settlement of $14,850 received in 2013), an increase in Morguard REIT's equity accounted FFO of $1,902 and a decrease in current taxes of $952.  These items were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $2,348, distributions of $2,833 to the Residential REIT's unitholders and a gain on sale of marketable securities of $13,598 recorded in 2012. The change in foreign exchange rates had a positive impact on FFO of $54.

MORGUARD NORTH AMERICAN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
On March 15, 2013, the REIT completed an offering of 8,270,000 trust units at a price of $11.50 per unit, representing gross proceeds of $95.1 million and issued $60 million aggregate principal amount of 4.65% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due March 30, 2018 (the "Debentures", collectively with the Units the "Offering").  The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder, into trust units of the REIT at $15.50 per trust unit.   As part of the transaction, Morguard purchased 870,000 Units, at the offering price representing approximately $10 million and $5 million aggregate principal amount of the Debentures.   At March 31, 2013, Morguard owned a 48.8% effective interest in the REIT through ownership of Units and Class B LP Units.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to partially fund the REIT's April 19, 2013 acquisition of six multi-unit residential properties from an institutional fund sponsored by Pearlmark Real Estate Partners, L.L.C. for US$218,000 (excluding closing costs).   The six properties acquired are residential apartment and townhome complexes comprised of 1,793 suites located in Denver, Colorado, Tampa, Florida, Cary, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia.  In connection with the purchase of four of the six properties, the REIT assumed in-place mortgage financing of US$81,800 with a weighted average interest rate of 4.86% with a weighted average term to maturity of 4.6 years.  For the remaining two properties, the REIT, at closing, entered into first mortgage financing arrangements in an aggregate amount of US$58,700 with a weighted average interest rate of 3.51% for terms of 10 years.

Readers are cautioned that although the terms "Net Operating Income", and "Funds From Operations" are commonly used to measure, compare and explain the operating and financial performance of Canadian real estate companies and such terms are defined in the Management's Discussion and Analysis, such terms are not recognized terms under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  Such terms do not necessarily have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by the other publicly traded entities.

The Company's interim unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013, along with the Management's Discussion and Analysis will be available on the Company's website at www.morguard.com and will be filed with SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Morguard Corporation is a real estate company, which owns a diversified portfolio of 103 retail, multi-unit residential, office and industrial properties comprising of 12,110 multi-unit residential suites and approximately 7.1 million square feet of commercial leasable space. Morguard Corporation also owns a 42.9% interest in Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust and a 48.8% effective interest in Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust. Morguard provides advisory and management services to institutional and other investors through Morguard Investments Limited and Morguard Residential.
