Exchange Rates.
 
In this Transitional Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CDN$). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (US$).
 
The following table sets forth the exchange rates for the Canadian Dollar at the end of the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 and each of the four fiscal periods ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the average rates for the period and the range of high and low rates for the period. The data for March 11, 2011 and for each month during the most recent six months is also provided.
 
For purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. Dollar. The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

D.  Risk factors

The Company is subject to a number of broad risks and uncertainties including general economic conditions.  In addition to these broad business risks, the Company has specific risks that it faces, the most significant of which are detailed below.


Real Property Investments Tend to be Relatively Illiquid and Could Affect Our Need to Maintain Liquidity and Financial Condition Which May Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

All real property investments are subject to elements of risk.  Such risks include general economic conditions, local real estate market conditions, demand for real property generally and in the local area, competition for other available premises and various other risk factors.

Real property investments tend to be relatively illiquid, with the degree of liquidity generally fluctuating in relation to demand for and the perceived desirability of such investments.  Such illiquidity may tend to limit the Company’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions.  If a property was to incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of a lease, and if the vacancy was to continue for a long period of time and the Company was required to liquidate one or all of its real property investments, the resale of the property or properties could be diminished and the proceeds to the Company might be significantly less than the aggregate value of its properties on a going concern basis. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Loss Of Tenants Could Affect Leasing Flexibility, Reduce Our Revenue, Net Income And Financial Condition.

The relocation by an existing tenant could adversely affect the Company’s ability to generate income.  The property located at Wendell Avenue, Toronto, Ontario is a multi-tenant facility with 55.6% of the building occupied by one tenant. The balance of the building is occupied by smaller tenants.  In the event that one or more of these tenants was to vacate their unit the Company may find it difficult to provide appropriate space to prospective tenants. This could have an adverse effect on our financial performance through reduced revenues and cash flows which in turn may affect our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.


We Have Large Single Purpose Tenants And Are Dependent On Them For A Large Portion Of Our Rental Revenue, So Our Success Is Dependent On Their Financial Stability And Continuation Of Their Leases.

The need to renew and release upon lease expiration is no different for the Company than it is for any other real estate portfolio. Properties that are single tenant occupied, in particular the properties located at Dobbie Drive, Cambridge, Ontario, and Glendale Avenue North, Hamilton, Ontario, with their large single purpose tenant, have tenant specific leasehold improvements.

These two properties, which are both leased to Cambridge, together account for 15% and 20% of the Company’s assets and rental revenue, respectively, and therefore constitute a significant credit concentration. The term for both leases expire in June 2011. In the event that the Company was to lose this tenant, or the tenant was unable to pay its rent as it becomes due, and the Company is not successful in replacing it with a similar tenant, this would have a significant impact on the Company’s revenue, financial condition and ability to satisfy its debt service obligations.  In addition, a significant amount of demolition could be required to remove tenant specific leasehold improvements. Accordingly this credit concentration could be considered a risk factor.


We Are Dependent On Our Tenants For A Large Portion Of Our Revenue So Our Cash Flow And Accordingly Our Success Is Dependent On The Financial Stability Of Our Tenants.

The effect of negative economic and other conditions on tenants, the impact on their ability to make lease payments and the resulting impact on property cash flows could be considered a risk.  For the most part, the Company’s tenants are suppliers to the retail market and therefore are vulnerable to adverse economic conditions that impact retail sales. To the extent that any one of the Company's tenants is negatively impacted by such a change in economic conditions and is no longer able to meet its rental obligations, this could impact the Company as expenditures, including property taxes, capital repair and replacement costs, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges must be made throughout the period of ownership regardless of whether the property is producing any income. In addition, if the Company is unable to meet mortgage payments on its properties, loss could be sustained as a result of the mortgagee’s exercise of its rights of foreclosure and sale. If a lease is terminated, we cannot be certain that we will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss.

The Company May Not Be Able To Renegotiate Financing Terms As They Come Due Which Could Affect Our Liquidity And Financial Condition.

We cannot be certain that the Company will be able to successfully renegotiate mortgage financing on favourable terms on the various properties as the existing mortgages fall due. This could impact our liquidity, financial condition and our ability to meet working capital requirements.


General Uninsured Losses May Result In The Company Losing Its Investment In And Cash Flows From Properties And Could Reduce Our Net Income.

The Company carries comprehensive general liability for fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with policy specifications, limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties.  There are however certain types of risks (generally of a catastrophic nature such as wars or environmental contamination) that are either uninsurable or not insurable on an economically viable basis.  Should an uninsured or underinsured loss occur, the value of our assets will be reduced by such uninsured loss. In addition, the Company could lose its investment in and anticipated revenues, profits and cash flows from one or more of its properties, but the Company would continue to be obliged to repay any recourse mortgage indebtedness on such property which in turn will reduce our net income. Accordingly an uninsured or underinsured loss could impact our financial condition.


Environmental Legislation And Contamination May Affect Our Operating Results And Our Ability To Borrow Against Or Sell Real Estate.

Environmental legislation and policies has become an increasingly important feature of real property ownership and management in recent years.  Under various laws, property owners could become liable for the costs of effecting remedial work necessitated by the release, deposit or presence of certain materials, including hazardous or toxic substances and, accordingly, environmental contamination could be considered a risk factor. the Company’s tenants include companies in the textile manufacturing business which represents a potential environmental risk. In addition, the migration of third party offsite contamination to one of the Company’s properties could be considered a risk.  The failure by the Company to affect any necessary remedial work may adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral and could result in claims against the Company.  The cost of defending against claims of liability, complying with environmental regulatory requirements, or remediating any contaminated property could materially adversely affect the business, assets or results of operations of the Company. The Company has introduced an environmental maintenance program to oversee the Company’s compliance with Ministry of the Environment guidelines.


Uncertain Return On Short-Term Investments Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.

The Company’s return on its short-term investments will be contingent upon the performance of its various investment managers and the public financial markets. Difficult market and economic conditions may adversely affect our business and profitability. Our revenues and profitability are likely to decline during periods of poor performance of our investment managers and the public financial markets. The financial markets are by their nature risky and volatile and are directly affected by many factors that are beyond our control. Our operations may suffer to the extent that ongoing market volatility of the recent past was to persist which could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flow.


Cash Deposits Held At Banks May Exceed The Amounts Of Insurance Provided On Such Deposits  And Any Loss Arising There From Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. If we were to suffer a loss as a result of a failure of one of these Banks and the insurance provided thereon was insufficient to cover the amount of the deposit our operations may suffer. This could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flow.


Adverse Currency Fluctuations on Cash Deposits Held In Foreign Denominated Currencies Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.

Currency risk is the risk that a negative variation in exchange rates between the Canadian Dollar and foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results. If the Company holds funds denominated in a foreign currency and the value of this currency experiences a negative fluctuation due to a change in exchange rates this could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Declines In Invested Amounts As A Result Of Changes In Prevailing Interest Rates Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Some of the cash, cash equivalents and securities that the Company may invest in are subject to interest rate risk. This means that an adverse change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate and the amount of the investment to decline. Such a decline could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Third Party Valuation Risk Could Have A Material Adverse Affect On Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.
The valuations of private investment Limite Partnerships rely on third party financial inputs of the underlying securities. If the financial inputs of the underlying securities were directly verifiable, there is risk that the reported fair values may differ.


The Anticipated Benefits Of The Amalgamation Are Contingent On The Successful Integration Of The Operations Of Genterra Inc. (‘Genterra”) And Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated (“CMI”).

The success of the Amalgamation will depend, in part, on the ability of the Company to realize the anticipated synergies and growth opportunities from integrating Genterra’s and CMI's businesses. The Company’s success in realizing these benefits, beyond the savings in public company and administration costs to be realized from eliminating one public company, and the timing of this realization depends upon the successful integration of the operations of Genterra and CMI. We cannot assure that the Amalgamation will result in the realization of the full benefits we anticipate.


Our Need To Maintain Liquidity And Financial Condition Could Be Adversely Affected By Market And Economic Conditions.

A liquidity risk arises from the Company’s management of working capital and principal repayments on its debt obligations to avoid difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they become due. Liquidity is essential to our business and may be impaired by circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as general market disruption or an operational problem which in turn could affect our financial condition and ability to satisfy debt service obligations.


The Company Has No Experience Operating As An Investment Company And, If Required To Register As An Investment Company Under The United States Investment Company Act Of 1940, As Amended (The "Company Act"), We Would Find This Process Both Costly and Challenging.

With the successful completion of the Amalgamation we do not believe that we will be an investment company under the Company Act, by virtue of Rule 3A-1. Rule 3A-1 provides that an issuer will not be considered an investment company if no more than 45% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of cash items and government securities) consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes is derived from, certain securities. In order to continue to meet the requirements of Rule 3A-1, we will be required to analyze our assets and financial statements on a continuous basis in order to identify any potential problems including the need to reallocate working capital assets into cash and cash items.  This analysis and reallocation will obviously increase our cost of operations, and may from time to time require the retention of legal and accounting experts in order to address any problems identified by such analysis.  Should we not be able to continue to qualify for the applicable exclusion, the Company may be required to register as an investment company under the Company Act.   In such an event, substantial work on our part will be required to implement appropriate reporting and compliance processes as required by the Company Act.  The significant changes to our operations would include retaining a registered investment adviser, registered under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, to manage the Company's portfolio and adopting a series of compliance documents to ensure compliance.  Such modifications could result in a complete change in the Company's operations, and, further, may require a new investment decision to be made by the Company's shareholders.  In order to do so, the Company may be required to file appropriate documentation with the Securities and Exchange Commission and there is no guarantee that all shareholders would approve of the change. Finally, the failure to comply properly with SEC laws, rules and regulations could result in significant fines and other penalties, resulting in a material negative impact on the Company.

We have no experience operating as an investment company and to do so is costly and challenging, and could materially hinder our ability to operate as a public company.


The Company’s Common Stock May Be Deemed To Be A “Penny Stock” Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements.

Our common stock may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.

Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.


It May Be Difficult To Sell Shares Of The Company Because Of The Limited Trading Volume.

Historically, the securities of Genterra and CMI have experienced a very limited trading volume.  As a result there may be less coverage by security analysts, the trading price may be lower, and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to dispose of our securities.
 

ITEM 4.  INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.  HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated
The Company was incorporated on August 12, 1940 under the Companies Act of the Province of Ontario under the name of “Erie Flooring and Wood Products Limited”.  It became a public company on December 2, 1948, changed its name to “Erie Diversified Industries Ltd.” on December 5, 1968, changed its name to “Lambda Mercantile Corporation Ltd.” on August 10, 1973 and changed its name to “Consolidated Mercantile Corporation” on September 30, 1987.

By Certificate and Articles of Amalgamation filed pursuant to the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) and effective on December 30, 1994, Consolidated Mercantile Corporation amalgamated with Lam-Tar Inc. and continued as Consolidated Mercantile Corporation.  On October 22, 1998, Consolidated Mercantile Corporation changed its name to “Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated”.

Historically, the Company has been a management holding company which effected its strategy through investment in, management of and merchant banking to its core strategic industries, including furniture, packaging, and finance, with the objective of creating added value to the Company and its shareholders.

Over the past number of years, the Company’s investment interests in both Polyair Inter Pack Inc. (“Polyair”) - a manufacturer of protective packaging products, and Distinctive Designs Furniture Inc. (“Distinctive”) - a manufacturer of furniture, incurred substantial operating losses.  During this period, management of the Company spent considerable time and effort in assisting these business units in restructuring their operations and enhancing their ability to be more competitive in their respective industries.  These efforts provided the Company with the opportunity to maximize shareholder value, culminating in the December 2007 sale of both units.
 
Since the time of sale of both Polyair and Distinctive, the Company with its strengthened financial and management resources has sought out new long-term strategic acquisitions. In keeping with its history of being primarily engaged in the business of investing in and managing of majority owned operating companies, management continued to seek out target acquisitions that they believed would offer future growth and added value to the Company, and its shareholders. As part of this process, the CMI's Board of Directors determined that an amalgamation with Genterra to form Genterra Capital Inc.(“GCI”) would be in the best interests of the Company.

Genterra Inc.
Genterra was a real estate holding and management company which was created by the amalgamation of Mirtronics Inc. (“Mirtronics”) and Genterra Investment Corporation (“Genterra Investment”) by Articles of Amalgamation filed December 31, 2003.

Mirtronics was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) by Articles of Incorporation dated March 20, 1985 as 618417 Ontario Limited. By Articles of Amendment dated April 30, 1985 the name was changed to Mirtone International Inc. By Articles of Amendment dated February 2, 1988 the name was changed to International Mirtone Inc. and the company was recapitalized. By Articles of Amendment dated February 21, 1990 the name was changed to Mirtronics Inc. and the company was further recapitalized.

Genterra Investment was formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario by Articles of Amalgamation dated April 30, 1999 amalgamating Genterra Capital Incorporated and Unavest Capital Corp. under the name Genterra Investment Corporation. Genterra Capital Incorporated was formed by Articles of Amalgamation dated February 28, 1997 amalgamating Genterra Capital Corporation, First Corporate Capital Inc. and Mutec Equities Ltd. Genterra Capital Corporation was formed by Articles of Amalgamation dated August 31, 1995 amalgamating Equican Capital Corporation, Wendelleo Realty Inc. and Glendale Realty Holdings Inc. Equican Capital Corporation was formed by Articles of Amalgamation dated December 4, 1987.

Genterra Capital Inc.
On February 25, 2010 the shareholders of Genterra Inc. and Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated adopted Special Resolutions authorizing the proposed amalgamation of the two companies to continue as an amalgamated company under the name Genterra Capital Inc. The amalgamation became effective on May 10, 2010 (the “Amalgamation”). 

B.  BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company’s real estate investments are primarily in Canada within the Southern Ontario region. Real estate investments are primarily in industrial commercial real estate and financed through equity and commercial/institutional first mortgages. The properties are managed by the Company in conjunction with third party property managers. Properties are acquired for both income and capital gain appreciation. The Company primarily acquires property that provides cash flow coverage for financing purposes that may or may not provide a return on equity in the short term and with possible long-term capital gain.

The Company also invests its surplus cash reserves in a combination of cash and liquid marketable securities with risk-adjusted returns.
 
Business Conditions

Other than as described under Item 3 D. Risk Factors, the Company is not aware of any other distinctive or special characteristics of its operation or industry or those of its subsidiaries or affiliates which may have a material impact on future financial performance or of any material country risks which could materially affect operations of the Company or its subsidiary or affiliated corporations.

Plan of Operations

The Board of Directors believe that with the successful completion of the Amalgamation, the Company’s strengthened balance sheet will allow it to analyse larger potential investments.

Transitional Period ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue.  Net revenue from rental and investments for the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 was $2,830,239 compared to $3,531,465 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenue for the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 includes rental revenue of $2,441,940, net interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $137,131 and earnings from investments of $251,168. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes rental revenue of $3,087,501, net interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $197,854 and earnings from investments of $246,110.  The decrease in rental and interest revenue is due to the comparison of revenue for the nine month transitional period against the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in investment income is due to increased results achieved on the Company’s investments during the period.


Administrative and General Expenses.   Administrative and general expenses for the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 were $1,035,325 and $1,077,484 respectively. Administrative and general expenses normally include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees and public company shareholder costs.  The proportional increase in administrative and general expenses is primarily due to additional legal and administrative expenses incurred during the 2010 period.

 
11

 

Gain (loss) on Foreign Exchange. During the period under review the Company held minimal funds denominated in United States dollars.


Rental Real Estate Operating Expenses. Rental real estate operating expenses for the nine month transitional period ended September  30, 2010 were $1,333,724.   This compares to $1,675,833 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in rental real estate operating expenses is due to the comparison of expenses for the nine month transitional period against the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.


Other Expenses. The Company incurred interest on long term debt of $108,902 for the nine month transitional period ended September 30, 2010. Amortization for the nine month transitional period ended September 30, 2010 was $370,560. This compares to interest on long term debt of $163,810 and amortization of $525,647 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in interest on long term debt  and amortization expense is due to the comparison of expenses for the nine month transitional period against the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.


Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 was (14.6%) and 104.4% respectively. The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate during the period is due to permanent differences primarily associated with the tax treatment of dividends on retractable preference shares, the tax treatment of capital transactions and a valuation allowance provided against certain future tax benefits. The 2009 difference also includes the effect of the reassessment relating to the tax treatment of a prior year capital gain transaction.


Discontinued Operations. During the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 the Company recognized a deferred gain of $42,100 (2009 - $42,050) from the 2007 sale of its investment interest in Distinctive.

Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder.  The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser.  The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments of $100,000, commencing in January 2009.  This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business.  Over the past number of years Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses. Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes a reserve is appropriate. As a result, the Company has provided a reserve against the accretion interest on this discounted note for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $51,230 compared to $54,818 for the year ended December 31, 2009.


Net Earnings (Loss).  Net loss for the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 was $325,697 as compared to a net earnings of $18,954 for the year ended December 31, 2009.


Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared To Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008
 
Revenue. Net revenue from rental and investments for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $3,531,465 compared to $3,396,201 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes rental revenue of $3,087,501, net interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $197,854 and earnings from investments of $246,110. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 includes rental revenue of $3,164,545, net interest income on cash and cash equivalents of $652,196 and a loss from investments of $420,540. The decrease in interest income in 2009 is due to the substantial decrease in interest rates following the then current economic conditions and the resulting tightening in the credit markets.   Investment income increased during the 2009 period due to improved results achieved from the Company’s investments.


Administrative and General Expenses. Administrative and general expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,077,484 and $1,476,460 respectively. Administrative and general expenses normally include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, and public company shareholder costs.   The 2008 administrative and general expenses include a bonus paid to an officer of the Company.

Gain (loss) on Foreign Exchange.   Gain on foreign exchange for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $449,954 compared to gain on foreign exchange of $1,922,613 for the comparable 2008 period.  As at December 31, 2009 the Company held minimal funds denominated in United States dollars.  The gains in the 2009 and 2008 periods result from the effect on the Company’s U.S. Dollar holdings on hand at the time of the strengthening of the United States Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar.
  

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were 104.4% and (9.2%) respectively.  The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the permanent differences associated with non-deductible items, the tax treatment of capital gain transactions and the valuation allowance provided against certain future tax benefits. The 2009 expense includes the effect of a reassessment relating to the tax treatment of a prior year capital gain transaction.

 
Discontinued Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2009 the Company recognized a deferred gain of $42,050 from the 2007 sale of its investment interest in Distinctive.

Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder.  The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser.  The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual installments of $100,000, commencing in January 2009.  The first installment was received in April 2009.  This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business.  Over the past number of years Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses. Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy. The second installment on the promissory note was received in February 2010.  As a result, the deferred gain on the sale of this investment has been adjusted and the balance has been set off against the impairment loss on note receivable resulting in a 2009 impairment loss of $18,676.  This compares to a loss of $58,675 for the comparable 2008 period.

 
Net Earnings. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $18,954 compared to net earnings of $1,520,560 in the comparable 2008 period. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2009 was impacted by the provision for interest on a reassessment of prior year taxes.  Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 were impacted by the poor performance of the equity markets and the foreign exchange gain resulting from the strengthening of the United States Dollar.
 

Inflation. Inflation has not had a material impact on the results of the Company’s operations in its last quarter and is not anticipated to materially impact on the Company’s operations during its current fiscal year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND DECEMBER 31, 2009

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, marketable securities and cash flow from operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $19.9 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $23.5 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 7.0:1 at September 30, 2010 and 6.0:1 at December 31, 2009. The increase in the ratio of current assets to current liabilities is due to the substantial decrease in current liabilities due to the payment of the income taxes from a reassessment of a prior year capital gain transaction.

During the transitional period ended September 30, 2010 the Company’s cash position decreased by approximately $4.7 million to $17.8 million from $22.5 million at December 31, 2009.  The net decrease was due to the following:

 
-
Operating Activities decreased cash by $848,979.  This was a result of $7,754 in cash generated  from operations and $856,733 of cash utilized in changes in non-cash components of working capital principally as a result of the payment of income taxes on the reassessment of a prior year;
 
 
13

 
 
 
-
Financing Activities decreased cash by $4,148,419.  During the period the Company exercised its right to redeem all of the issued and outstanding Class A preference shares at a total cost of $138,839, repaid long-term debt by $227,801, incurred $747,289 of transaction costs to effect the Amalgamation, paid a dividend on the Class A preference shares, series 1 of $645,212 and redeemed shares tendered by shareholders dissenting to the Amalgamation at a cost of $2,389,278.

 
-
Investing Activities increased cash by $285,725 as a result of the collection of $285,725 from notes receivable.

The Company anticipates that it will require approximately $2.8 million in order to meet its ongoing expected costs for the next twelve months. These costs include real estate operating expenses, fees for management and administrative services provided to the Company, legal and audit fees, financing expenses, public company shareholder costs and income taxes.  The Company expects to generate the revenue required in order to service these expenditures from rental revenue from existing leased real estate, finance and investment income.  The Company also has scheduled long-term debt repayments of approximately $2.5 million in the next twelve months. This includes approximately $2.4 million relating to a rental real estate mortgage loan, which matures in April 2011. The Company is working towards replacing this facility upon its maturity.  Cash flow from operations will be used to finance the other regularly scheduled debt repayments.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2008

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, short-term investments and cash flow from operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $23.5 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $26.8 million at December 31, 2008.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 6.0:1 at December 31, 2009 from 30.7:1 at December 31, 2008.  The substantial decrease in working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities is a result of the inclusion in current liabilities of approximately $1.15 million relating to the reassessment of income taxes on a prior year capital gain transaction and the inclusion of mortgage repayments due in 2009 as a result of a upcoming maturity of a mortgage loan.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 the Company’s cash position increased by approximately $1.5 million to $22.5 million from $21.0 million at December 31, 2008.  The net increase was due to the following:

 
-
Operating Activities increased cash by $993,597.  This was a result of $492,076 in cash generated from operations, including an unrealized loss of $405 on foreign exchange, and $501,521 of cash generated from changes in non-cash components of work capital;
 
 
-
Financing Activities decreased cash by $294,320 as a result of repayment of long term debt commitments.
 
 
-
Investing Activities increased cash by $796,302.  This was due to the repayment of notes receivable of $214,741, proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $803,700, offset by expenditures on rental real estate properties of $222,139.
 
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its results of operations and financial condition are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the USA.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  The results of these estimates may form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may not be readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ from estimates.
The Company believes the following accounting policies are critical to its business operations and the understanding of results of operations:

Deferred Income Taxes – The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value and tax basis of the assets and liabilities.  Consistent with this policy the Company recognizes future tax assets net of a valuation allowance, taking into account whether it is more likely than not that the recognized deferred tax assets will be realized.  Changes in future profitability of the Company may impact the realization of these deferred tax assets.
 
 
14

 

Impairment of Assets – Under US GAAP, the Company is required to write down to fair value an asset that is determined to have been impaired.  A significant portion of the Company’s assets consists of investments in rental real estate properties.  The fair value of investments in rental real estate properties is dependent upon anticipated future cash flows from operations over the anticipated holding period. In the event that the carrying value exceeds the cash flows expected to result from the direct use and eventual disposition of the property, impairment would be recognized.

Marketable securities – Certain short term investments in quoted equity securities are classified as available for sale securities which are required to be measured at fair market value. All other short term equity securities are classified as held for trading which are required to be measured at fair values.  Fair value is defined as the amount which a security could be bought or sold in a current transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm-length transaction under no compulsion to act.  The best evidence of fair value is quoted bid or ask prices, as appropriate, in an active market.  Where bid or ask prices are unavailable, the closing price of the most recent transaction of that security is used.  Unrealized gains and losses, including changes in foreign exchange rates, are recognized in operations for the period


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company’s financial reporting under U.S.  GAAP are summarized below:

Business Combinations

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G.  The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis.  The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and the amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero of Negative Carrying Amounts.  This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No 10-A.  The amendments in the ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.  For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist.  The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  For public entities, the amendment in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is not permitted. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 
15

 

Compensation – Stock Compensation

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-J, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.


Subsequent Events

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):  Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature.
In addition, the amendments in the ASU requires an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date.
All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.


Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:

 
·
A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
 
·
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:

 
·
For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

 
·
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.


Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: Chapters 1: “The objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting” and Chapter 3: “Qualitative Characteristics of useful Financial Information”

The FASB and IASB have completed the first phase of their joint project to develop an improved conceptual framework for U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This first phase of the conceptual framework deals with the objective and qualitative characteristics of financial reporting. The FASB and IASB have issued the following documents:
 
 
16

 
 
 
·
FASB Concepts Statement No. 8, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: Chapter 1, “ The Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting”, and Chapter 3, “Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information” – A Replacement of FASB Concepts Statements No. 1 and No. 2 ; and

 
·
The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2010.

The Objective of the conceptual framework project is to create a sound foundation for future accounting standards that are principles-based, internally consistent and internationally converged. The new framework builds on existing FASB and IASB frameworks.


IFRS ASSESSMENT AND CONVERSION PLAN

In February 2008, the CICA announced that Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for publicly accountable enterprises will be replaced by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Companies will be required to provide IFRS comparative information for the previous fiscal year. The conversion from Canadian GAAP to IFRS will be applicable to the Company’s reporting for the first quarter of its 2012 fiscal year for which the current and comparative information will be prepared under IFRS. The Company is required to apply all of those IFRS standards which are effective for fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 and apply them to its opening October 1, 2010 balance sheet. Once completed, future regulatory filings with Canadian  and United States security regulators will be prepared under the new standards.

The Company’s IFRS implementation project consists of three primary phases which are being completed by a combination of in-house resources and an external consultant.

·
Initial diagnostic phase (“Phase I”) – Involves preparing a preliminary impact assessment to identify key areas that may be impacted by the transition to IFRS. Each potential impact identified during this phase is ranked as having a high, moderate or low impact on our financial reporting and the overall difficulty of the conversion effort.

·
Impact analysis, evaluation and solution development phase (“Phase II”) – Involves the selection of IFRS accounting policies by senior management and the review by the audit committee, the quantification of the impact of changes on our existing accounting policies on the opening IFRS balance sheet and the development of draft IFRS financial statements.

·
Implementation and review phase (“Phase III”) – Involves training key finance and other personnel and implementation of the required changes to our information systems and business policies and procedures. It will enable the Corporation to collect the financial information necessary to prepare IFRS financial statements and obtain audit committee approval of IFRS financial statements.  The differences as identified in Phase I and the Company’s proposed actions under Phase II are summarized in the following sections.


The Company has retained an external consultant to assist in establishing appropriate IFRS financial reporting expertise at all levels of the business. Key finance and operational staff have obtained sufficient knowledge to implement the project jointly with the consultant. The Company has also provided Audit Committee members with detailed project scoping, timelines and deliverables.  Based on matters brought to their attention the Audit Committee members will review the Audit Committee Charter and make changes to reflect the requirements for IFRS financial expertise if deemed to be necessary. The Audit Committee will continue to receive periodic presentations and project status updates from the external consultant and management.

The Company’s financial statements will have a different format upon transition to IFRS.  The components of a complete set of IFRS financial statements are: statement of financial position (balance sheet), statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows, and notes including accounting policies. The income statement will be presented as a component of the statement of comprehensive income. The statement of financial position may be presented in ascending or descending order of liquidity. The income statement is classified by each major functional area – marketing, sales, research & development, administration, etc. or by nature of the items.

The Company does not expect that adoption of IFRS will have a pervasive impact on its present systems and processes. The Company expects to implement certain minor changes to the general ledger account descriptions as well as the calculation methodologies currently in use for certain specific financial statement areas such as asset impairment, share based compensation etc.

C.  Board Practices

Committees

The board and its committees (consisting of an Audit Committee, Disclosure Committee and Corporate Governance Committee) operate efficiently and are available to consider the views of management and investors concerning their needs and decisions affecting the Company.

Board Committees

Currently, each of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee are composed of non-management directors all of whom are considered to be "independent" as determined under applicable securities laws and stock exchange regulations.

The Corporate Disclosure Committee, a committee comprised of management representatives, meets quarterly, and, as otherwise required, to discuss disclosure issues and associated processes and compliance.

Audit Committee

Company’s internal finance department to review issues as appropriate and meets directly with external auditors of the Company on a regular basis.  On March 29, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Audit Committee Charter which is attached as a Schedule to the Company’s annual information form that is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, which has now been adopted by GCI.  The Audit Committee Charter outlines, among other things, the mandate of the Audit Committee to:

►           oversee the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process;
►           oversee the qualifications and independence of the Company’s external auditors;
►           oversee the scope of the annual audit plan;
►           oversee the work of the Company’s financial officers and executives and external auditors; and
►           provide an open avenue of communication between the external auditors, the Board and management.

In accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange regulations, each of the members of the Audit Committee is “financially literate”.  Mr. Dawber, the Audit Committee Chairman, is a Chartered Accountant and is considered to be a “financial expert”.  Each member of the Audit Committee has the ability to perform his responsibilities as an Audit Committee member based on their education and/or experience.

Corporate Governance Committee

Currently, the members of the GCI Governance Committee are Messrs. Sol D. Nayman, Mark E. Dawber and Alan Kornblum.  Generally, the Governance Committee oversees and assesses the functioning of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors and identifies and recommends qualified director candidates for election to the Board of Directors.  During fiscal 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the Corporate Governance Committee Charter which outlines, among other things, the responsibilities of the Corporate Governance Committee with respect to developing and recommending to the Board of Directors the Company’s approach to corporate governance, including developing a set of corporate governance principles and guidelines applicable to the Company, which has now been adopted by GCI.  Annually, the Corporate Governance Committee will assess the size of the Board of Directors, the competencies, skills and personal qualities required of the Board of Directors as a whole and directors to possess in order to add value to the Company, and the competencies, skills and personal qualities of existing directors.  Based on this assessment, the Corporate Governance Committee will consider whether to recommend any changes to the composition of the Board of Directors. When required, the Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate potential candidates for director having regard to the background, employment and qualifications of possible candidates and will consider whether the candidate’s competencies, skills and personal qualities are aligned with the Company’s needs.  In accordance with its Charter, the Corporate Governance Committee has also implemented policies to enable an individual director to engage an outside advisor at the expense of the Company with the approval of the Corporate Governance Committee.

Compensation Committee

The Company does not have a compensation committee of its board of directors. All matters relating to executive compensation are dealt with by the full board of directors.

ITEM 10.          ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A. Share Capital

Not applicable.

B. Memorandum and articles of association

Not applicable.

C. Material Contracts

The Company pays to Forum an agreed upon annual fee of $475,000 for administrative, management and consulting services rendered. These services include office, administrative and clerical services, including bookkeeping and accounting. Forum also assists in the decision making process relating to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ various investments. Fred A Litwin, the President, a director and significant shareholder of the Company is an officer, director and controlling shareholder of Forum. Stan Abramowitz is an officer and director of both the Company and Forum.

Effective December 28, 2007, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, the Company sold its shares and debt owed by Distinctive to 337572 Ontario Limited, Distinctive’s other major shareholder. The Company received $834,010 in cash representing 100% of the price attributable to the debt and the delivery of a $1 million promissory note payable in ten equal consecutive installments of $100,000 with the first installment in January 2009 and each anniversary thereafter. There is no interest on the note unless a default occurs and the note only remains payable if Distinctive remains in business. There is a provision to accelerate the payment of the note in certain circumstances. The security for the note is a pledge of all of the shares owned by the purchaser in the capital of Distinctive, representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Distinctive. Alan Kornblum is the president and controlling shareholder of Distinctive and became a director of the Company on May 10, 2010.

The Company pays to First Ontario and agreed upon annual fee of $206,000 for property management services. Fred A. Litwin, the President, a director and significant shareholder of the Company exercises control and direction over First Ontario. Stan Abramowitz and Mark Litwin are directors and/or officers of First Ontario and the Company.

D. Exchange Controls

The Investment Canada Act (the "ICA"), which became effective on June 30, 1985, prohibits the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise in Canada by non-Canadians without prior consent of the Investment Canada Agency (with ultimate appeal to the Federal Cabinet), unless such acquisition is exempt under the provisions of the ICA. Both acquisition of natural resource properties and acquisition of producing properties may be considered to be the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise for ICA purposes.  The ICA also covers acquisition of control of Canadian corporate enterprises, whether by purchase of assets or shares.  As at March 11, 2011, all of the directors of the Company were, and 93.92% of its voting shares were owned by Canadians.  The Company is satisfied that it complies with ICA at present and accordingly is not a non-Canadian person as defined in ICA.

The ICA will substantially reduce the regulatory requirements for acquisition of interests in Canadian businesses under prior legislation, most importantly, (i) by providing that foreign investments below specified threshold sizes  (generally, direct acquisitions of Canadian business with gross assets less than $5 million, or "indirect acquisitions" of businesses with gross assets less than $50 million) have only a notification, as opposed to a substantive review, requirement, and (ii) by liberalizing the review standards for approval.
 
 
27

 

Apart from the ICA, there are no other limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote securities imposed by Canadian law or the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.  There are no other decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of Capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities except as discussed at Paragraph E, "Taxation."

E. Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the income tax aspects under Canadian law relating to ownership of the Company’s Common Shares.  These income tax aspects will vary according to the circumstances of each shareholder, including his place of residence and the place in which he carries on business or has a permanent establishment, as the case may be, so that a shareholder must investigate the tax consequences of his personal situation by obtaining advice from his own tax advisor.  This summary does not consider U.S.  federal or state income tax  provisions  or  Canadian Provincial  income tax provisions,  which may be at variance with the provisions contained  in the Income Tax Act  (Canada) and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice.

Dividends paid to a non-resident of Canada, including distributions or redemptions which are treated as dividends and certain stock dividends, are subject to Canadian income tax. The Canadian non-resident withholding tax would be withheld by the Company who would remit only the net amount to the shareholder.  By virtue of Article X of the Canada-United States Tax Convention, which came into force on August 16, 1984 (and was amended by the Protocol signed on September 21, 2007), the rate of tax for dividends paid to a resident of the United States is limited to 15%.  The withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% for a corporate shareholder owning at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, either directly or through an entity that is considered fiscally transparent under the laws of the United States and is not a resident of Canada.  In the absence of any treaty provisions, the rate of tax imposed would be 25% of the applicable amounts.
 
Stock dividends received by non-residents from the Company would be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax as noted above, to the extent that the paid-up capital of the Company has been increased as a result of the stock dividend.
 
Gain from the sale of Common Shares of the Company by a non-resident of Canada will not be subject to Canadian tax provided the shareholder has not held, either solely by himself or together with non-arm’s length persons, a "substantial interest" (25% or more of the shares of any class of Company stock) in the Company, at any time in the five preceding years.  By virtue of Article XIII of the Canada-United States Tax Convention, shareholders who are resident in the United States and hold a substantial interest in the Company's Common Shares or Preference Shares will not be subject to Canadian tax on gain from sale of the shares of the Company provided that the value of the shares does not derive principally from real property situated in Canada.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.  The Company has reduced its exposure to interest rate risk over the cash flows through the use of fixed rate instruments on certain of its financial liabilities.  The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to alter its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Company invests a portion of its surplus cash in term deposits and loans receivable.  Certain long-term borrowings of the Company bear interest on a prime plus basis. In doing so, the Company exposes itself to fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market.  The net annualized effect for the year of a 0.5% decrease in the interest rate at the balance sheet date on these financial instruments would have resulted in a decrease in post-tax earnings of approximately $60,000 (2009 - $73,000).  A 0.5% increase in the interest rate would, on the same basis, have increased post-tax earnings by the same amount.
 
 
28

 

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results.  Cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2010 includes US$671 (December 31, 2009 – US$5,674).  Currency gains (losses) are reflected as a separate component of expenses.  The effect for the year of a $0.01 strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar on the Company’s US Dollar denominated money market instruments carried at the balance sheet date (all other variables held constant) would have resulted in an increase in post-tax earnings of approximately $5 (2009 - $590).  A $0.01 weakening in the exchange rate would, on the same basis, have decreased post-tax earnings by the same amount. At September 30, 2010, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange commitments.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk).  The Company moderates this risk through a careful selection and diversification of marketable securities and other financial instruments within the limits of the Company’s objectives and strategy.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Initiatives
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.  Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, such controls and procedures were effective.  
 
Changes in internal controls
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
29

 
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
    * pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
    * provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and
 
    * provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
As of September 30, 2010 we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework.  Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.  
 
A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Based upon this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2010.  
 
This transitional report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this transitional report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Genterra Capital Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genterra Capital Inc. as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the consolidated financial statement schedules. These consolidated financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedules are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedules, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Genterra Capital Inc at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Also in our opinion, the consolidated financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 
Genterra Capital Inc. (“GCI” or “The Company”) is a Canadian management holding company operating in Canada with significant interests in real estate properties located in Ontario, Canada.  The Company also invests a portion of its surplus cash on hand in marketable securities.
 
1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
(a)
Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies.  Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements represent the retroactive combination of entities under common control arising from an amalgamation of Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated and Genterra Inc. on May 9, 2010.  The year ends of the entities under common control were not co-terminus and accordingly the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from Genterra Inc. were excluded from the statements of operations and other comprehensive income and cash flows.  A summary of the results excluded is as follows:

Revenue
  $ 797,864  
Expenses
    (686,086 )
Interest on long-term debt
    (37,728 )
Earnings from operations
    74,050  
Other revenue and expenses
    58,174  
Earnings before income taxes
    132,224  
Income taxes
    121,501  
Earnings from continuing operations
    253,725  
Discontinued operations
    -  
Net earnings for the period
  $ 253,725  

As a result of the amalgamation, the company has changed its year-end from December 31 to September 30.

(b)           Rental Real Estate Properties

Rental real estate properties are stated at the lower of cost, net of accumulated amortization, and fair value. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the net recoverable amount of a rental real estate property is less than its carrying value, the rental real estate property is written down to its fair value. The fair value is determined using the current market values of the properties.  Current market values are determined based on the traditional present value method, in which a single set of estimated cash flows and a single interest rate are used.  Any impairment in value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Amortization is being provided for over the estimated useful life as follows:
Building 
5% declining balance basis
Building modifications
straight-line over term of the related lease
Furniture, equipment and paving             
6% - 20% declining balance basis

 (c)           Translation of Foreign Currency
 
Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal year. The resulting gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

(d)        Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in presenting its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of investments in short-term deposits with maturities of three months or less from dates of placement.  Cash and cash equivalents are classed as held-for-trading financial assets and are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to the acquisition or issue.  They are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the same period as incurred.

Marketable securities: The Company has recorded certain short term investments in quoted equity securities as available for sale securities which are recorded at fair market value with all unrealized holding gains and losses reflected in other comprehensive income. All other short term equity securities are classified as held for trading which are recorded at fair values with all unrealized holding gains and losses reflected in the statement of operations.  Additionally, the Company has certain instruments for which readily determinable fair values are not available which are carried at cost, unless the investments are determined to be permanently impaired in which case they are written down to estimated fair value, if less than cost.

Other financial assets: The Company’s accounts receivable consists primarily of rental receivables. Accounts and notes receivable are classified as loans and receivables.  These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and are not quoted in an active market.  They are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.  The effect of discounting on these accounts receivable is not considered to be material.  All other gains or losses are recognized when the instrument is removed from the consolidated balance sheet.

(d)           Financial Instruments (Continued)

Other financial liabilities: The Company’s other financial liabilities include accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt.

(i)  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist primarily of trade payables. They are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.  The effect of discounting on these financial instruments is not considered to be material.

(ii)  Long-term debts consist of mortgages payable and are initially recognized at the fair value directly attributable to the issue of the instrument.  They are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.  Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the same period as incurred.  All other gains or losses are recognized when the instrument is removed from the consolidated balance sheet.

(iii)  Financial instruments issued by the Company are treated as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability.  The Company’s retractable and redeemable Class A preference shares are considered mezzanine equity as they are redeemable for cash at the option of the holder, but also contain a conversion feature into Common shares of the Company.  Annual cumulative dividends on the retractable and redeemable preference shares are accrued and deducted from retained earnings.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt.  The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

The Company adopted ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008.  This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value instruments.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices, included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including:

 
·
Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;
 
·
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variable over time);
 
·
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates, etc); and;
 
·
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by other observable market data.

(d)           Financial Instruments (Continued)

The Company’s assets are measured as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents – the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value as maturaties are less than three months.  Cash and cash equivalents have been valued using the market value technique.

Short-term investments – The estimated fair values of the short term investments are based on quoted market prices and/or other market data for the same or comparable instruments and transactions of the underlying net assets in establishing the price. Short-term investments are valued using the market value technique.

Notes receivable – The estimated fair value of the note receivable is based on unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observed market data.  Notes receivable are valued using the income approach technique.

(e)           Management of Financial Risks

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and retractable preference shares.  The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to these financial instruments. There have not been any changes in the nature of risks or the process of managing these risks from previous periods.  The risks and processes for managing the risks are set out below:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s management of working capital and principal repayments on its debt obligations. It is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting it financial obligations as they fall due.

The Company’s objective is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due.  To achieve this goal the Company seeks to maintain cash balances to meet expected requirements for a period of twelve months. At the balance sheet date, the Company expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonable expected circumstances.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.  The Company has reduced its exposure to interest rate risk over the cash flows through the use of fixed rate instruments on certain of its financial liabilities.  The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to alter its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Company invests a portion of its surplus cash in term deposits and loans receivable.  Certain long-term borrowings of the Company bear interest on a prime plus basis. In doing so, the Company exposes itself to fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market.  The net annualized effect for the year of a 0.5% decrease in the interest rate at the balance sheet date on these financial instruments would have resulted in a decrease in post-tax earnings of approximately $60,000 (2009 - $73,000, 2008 - $68,600).  A 0.5% increase in the interest rate would, on the same basis, have increased post-tax earnings by the same amount.

(e)           Management of Financial Risks (Continued)

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results.  Cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2010 includes US$671 (December 31, 2009 – US$5,674).  Currency gains (losses) are reflected as a separate component of expenses.  The effect for the year of a $0.01 strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar on the Company’s US Dollar denominated money market instruments carried at the balance sheet date (all other variables held constant) would have resulted in an increase in post-tax earnings of approximately $5 (2009 - $590, 2008 - $25,740).  A $0.01 weakening in the exchange rate would, on the same basis, have decreased post-tax earnings by the same amount. At September 30, 2010, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange commitments.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk).  The Company moderates this risk through a careful selection and diversification of marketable securities and other financial instruments within the limits of the Company’s objectives and strategy.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and rental receivables.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents of $17,787,741 are maintained with several financial institutions.  Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.

(ii) Marketable securities of $4,702,607 are held with reputable hedge fund managers and can be withdrawn in any given month and therefore credit risk is considered minimal.

(iii) Credit risk on rental and notes receivable of $444,399 are minimized as a result of the collateral security held pursuant to legal agreements and leases.  Collateral security is represented by the assets of the debtor.

(iv) The Company leases two of its properties to a single tenant accounting for approximately 20.1% of its current rental revenue which constitutes a significant credit concentration.  Both leases expire in 2011.

In 2010, the Company had two major leases that accounted for 15.7% and 32.5% respectively of total rent.  These leases expire between 2011 and 2016.

(f)            Capital Management

The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to create and maximize shareholder value through the expansion of its portfolio of income producing real estate and the growth of its investments.  The Company’s investment strategy is to capitalize on favourable real estate market conditions by acquiring properties that provide the Company with substantial rental income and the potential for future development and capital gain appreciation, with the objective of creating added value to the Company and its shareholders.

The Company considers its total capitalization to consist of long-term debt, Common and Class B preference share capital, contributed surplus and accumulated retained earnings as well as its retractable and redeemable Class A preference shares which are classified as mezzanine equity.  The only  changes in what the Company considers to be capital since the previous year are the Class B preference shares and the Class A redeemable, retractable preference shares issued in connection with the amalgamation (Note 1(a)).  The Company does not currently have a formal policy governing any net debt to equity and net debt to total capitalization ratios.

As at September 30, 2010 the Company has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements.

The following table provides a summary of certain information with respect to the Company’s capital structure and financial position as at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

    $ 32,462,752     $ 36,607,081  

(g)           Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United states generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Estimates made by management include impairment assessments of notes and accounts receivable, fair value of marketable securities and the basis for current and deferred income taxes.  Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.

(h)           Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the straight-line method of recognizing rental revenue whereby the total amount of rental revenue to be received from leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of lease.  Accordingly, accrued rent is recorded for the difference between the straight line rent recorded as rental revenue and the rent that is contractually due from the tenants and has been recorded as unrealized rental income on the balance sheet.

Revenue from a real estate sale is recognized once all material conditions have been satisfied.

(i)            Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the benefit of tax losses available to be carried forward for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Deferred income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that the rate changes.
 
 (j)           Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments

The Company has a single Stock Option Plan (“The Plan”).  The Plan is designed to secure for the Company and its shareholders the benefits of the incentive inherent in share ownership by those directors, officers and key employees responsible for the management and growth of the Company’s business.  The Plan does not include any provision whereby the vesting of options granted thereunder is in any way limited or restricted.  Options granted under The Plan may be exercised for such period as may be determined by the Board of Directors at the time such option is granted.  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments using the fair value-based method.  Under the fair value-based method, compensation costs attributable to awards to Company employees are measured at fair value at the date of the grant, amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, and charged to earnings with a related credit to Contributed Surplus.  Consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital. As at September 30, 2010, the Company has no outstanding stock options.

 
(k)           Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares that are outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average of common and potential common shares outstanding during the year.  Potential common shares consist of the incremental number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and conversion of Class A preference shares using the treasury method.

(n)           Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company’s financial reporting under U.S.  GAAP are summarized below:

Business Combinations

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G.  The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis.  The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.  The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and the amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero of Negative Carrying Amounts.  This ASU reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No 10-A.  The amendments in the ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.  For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist.  The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples, which require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  For public entities, the amendment in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is not permitted. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Compensation – Stock Compensation

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-J, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.


Subsequent Events

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855):  Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature.

In addition, the amendments in the ASU requires an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date.

All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:

 
·
A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
 
·
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:

 
·
For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

 
·
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. It is not expected that these new standards will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: Chapters 1: “The objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting” and Chapter 3: “Qualitative Characteristics of useful Financial Information”

The FASB and IASB have completed the first phase of their joint project to develop an improved conceptual framework for U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This first phase of the conceptual framework deals with the objective and qualitative characteristics of financial reporting. The FASB and IASB have issued the following documents:

 
·
FASB Concepts Statement No. 8, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: Chapter 1, “ The Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting”, and Chapter 3, “Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information” – A Replacement of FASB Concepts Statements No. 1 and No. 2 ; and

 
·
The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2010.

The Objective of the conceptual framework project is to create a sound foundation for future accounting standards that are principles-based, internally consistent and internationally converged. The new framework builds on existing FASB and IASB frameworks.

(i)  Subsequent to September 30, 2010, the Company sold its property located at 1095 Stellar Drive, Newmarket, Ontario.  Simultaneously with the purchase of the property, the purchaser also acquired the business of the tenant and in conjunction therewith the parties negotiated a settlement of all outstanding amounts owed by the tenant to the Company.  As a result, a reserve of $189,210 has been provided against the note receivable of $249,000.


(ii)  Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in its former subsidiary Distinctive Designs Furniture Inc. (”Distinctive”), to Distinctive’s other major shareholder.  The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser.  The gain on the sale is only recognized to the extent it is realized and accordingly has been deferred.  The note, which is non-interest bearing, has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments of $100,000 with the instalments due on January 15 of each year. This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business. The Company has received two payments to date.  Over the past number of years Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses.  Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes the above reserve is appropriate.  As a result, the deferred gain on the sale of this investment has also been adjusted.  The controlling shareholder of the purchaser became a director of the Company on May 10, 2010, the date of the amalgamation.
