FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of applicable securities laws including, among
others, statements concerning our objectives, our strategies to
achieve those objectives, our performance, our mortgage portfolio
and our dividends, as well as statements with respect to
management's beliefs, estimates, and intentions, and similar
statements concerning anticipated future events, results,
circumstances, performance or expectations that are not historical
facts. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as "outlook",
"objective", "may", "will", "expect", "intent", "estimate",
"anticipate", "believe", "should", "plans" or "continue" or similar
expressions suggesting future outcomes or events. Such
forward-looking statements reflect management's current beliefs and
are based on information currently available to
management.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are based on our estimates and assumptions that are subject to
risks and uncertainties, including those described in our Annual
Information Form under "Risk Factors" (a copy of which can be
obtained at www.sedar.com), which could cause our actual results
and performance to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in this release. Those risks and uncertainties
include, among others, risks associated with mortgage lending,
dependence on the Corporation's mic manager and mortgage banker,
competition for mortgage lending, real estate values, interest rate
fluctuations, environmental matters, Shareholder liability and the
introduction of new tax rules. Material factors or assumptions that
were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set out
in the forward-looking information include, among others, that the
Corporation is able to invest in mortgages at rates consistent with
rates historically achieved; adequate mortgage investment
opportunities are presented to the Corporation; and adequate bank
indebtedness and bank loans are available to the Corporation.
Although the forward-looking information continued in this news
release is based upon what management believes are reasonable
assumptions, there can be no assurance that actual results and
performance will be consistent with these forward-looking
statements.
All forward-looking statements in this news release are
qualified by these cautionary statements. Except as required by
applicable law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
