TORONTO, May 4 /CNW/ - Morguard Corporation ("Morguard" or the "Company")
(TSX: MRC) today announced its financial results for the period ending
March 31, 2005.
Y PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Funds from operations
A key performance measure of real estate companies is the cash or funds
generated from operations. The ability of the Company to generate cash from
operations is critical to ensuring appropriate resources exist to meet
Morguard's investment strategies and to ensure that existing properties are
properly maintained. Consolidated funds from operations ("FFO") is calculated
as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in continuing FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2005
of $5.3 million or $0.38 per share versus the comparable period in 2004 is
attributable to an increase in "Earnings before interest, other income
(expense), income taxes, amortization and non controlling interest" ("EBITA").
Components of this increase are discussed later.
The consolidated FFO is calculated as if Morguard owned 100% of Morguard
REIT and Revenue Properties. Consolidated FFO, therefore, includes both
Morguard's and the non controlling interests' share. To determine Morguard's
share of FFO, the non controlling interest of Morguard REIT and Revenue
Properties is deducted and then intercompany items, eliminated on
consolidation, are added.

Morguard conducts its operations through two operating segments: real
estate and management and other operations. Real estate operations include
property ownership and development. Management and other operations includes
property management and distribution. Real estate ownership is the most
significant segment representing 97.7% (2004 -97.1 %) of total assets and
82.1% (2004 - 80.3%) of earnings before other income (expenses), income taxes,
non controlling interest and discontinued operations.
REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP
Real estate assets
Gross real estate assets increased by $3.5 million to $2,285.7 million
over December 31, 2004. The overall increase of $3.5 million is related to an
adjustment to the value of the real estate assets ($16.9 million) due to the
Company's 15.6% dilution in ownership of Revenue Properties (see convertible
debentures) and an increase of $20.3 million due to additional costs
associated with the mixed-use development at 131 Queen Street in Ottawa
($9.9 million) and the on-going development by Morguard Residential of the
Bay/Wellesley condominium project ($6.9 million) scheduled for completion this
year.
The Company's real estate assets, net of accumulated amortization, are
comprised of office, industrial and retail assets totalling 13.6 million
square feet with a net book value of $1,519.4 million, a multi-residential
portfolio comprised of 6,360 suites with a book value of $490.4 million,
developments totalling $113.1 million, land held for sale of $6.5 million and
investment in regional shopping centre of $47.1 million.

Financing
Mortgages and debentures
Mortgages and debentures payable totals $1,241.7 million at March 31,
2005 compared to $1,187.4 million at December 31, 2004. The increase is
largely the result of additional financing by Revenue Properties of
$60.0 million. During the first quarter, Revenue Properties secured financing
for Centrepoint Mall, an enclosed shopping centre located at the corner of
Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue in Toronto.
The Company's first and second mortgages are registered against specific
real estate assets or a pool of real estate assets. These mortgages bear
interest at rates ranging between 5% and 11.5% per annum with a weighted
average interest rate of 6.4% (December 31, 2004 - 6.49%) and mature between
2005 and 2018 with a weighted average term to maturity of 5.3 years.
In order to minimize the risk to unfavourable interest rate changes, the
Company has entered into contracts to swap floating rates on future
anticipated debt to fixed monthly payments that aggregate to $206.0 million
(December 31, 2004 - $206.0 million). These agreements relate to existing debt
that will be maturing between May 2005 and March 2006. Upon termination of the
contracts, the net receipt or payments of interest will be recorded as an
adjustment to interest expense.
At March 31, 2005, fair value of the contracts was unfavourable
$13.9 million.
Convertible Debentures
Convertible debentures declined from $192.9 million at December 31, 2004
to $144.3 million at March 31, 2005. The decline is due to the redemption by
Revenue Properties, on February 23, 2005 of its December 2006, 7% convertible
subordinated debentures ("Debentures").
Holders of $26.3 million principal amount of the 7% Debentures exercised
their right to convert their holdings into common shares of the Company.
Accordingly, Revenue Properties issued an additional 2,157,305 common shares
resulting in 11,026,829 shares being outstanding upon completion.
The cash payment made by Revenue Properties to redeem the 7% Debentures
was approximately $27.0 million, comprised of $26.7 million principal amount
plus approximately $0.3 million of accrued and unpaid interest. The Company
recognized a loss on the redemption of the convertible debentures of
$2.1 million.
Morguard did not exercise its right to convert its debentures and as a
result, Morguard's interest in Revenue Properties was diluted by approximately
15.6%. In accordance with GAAP, the Company is considered to have disposed of
approximately 15.6% of its interest in Revenue Properties. This disposal
resulted in a dilution loss of $2.1 million.
Construction Financing
The Company has secured construction financing in amount of
$116.1 million to complete its development activity at Bay/Wellesley and
131 Queen Street.
Available financing on the Bay/Wellesley project of $43.3 million matures
in December 2005. At March 31, 2005 $32.6 million had been advanced against
this facility. The facility for the completion of the development program at
131 Queen Street is for $72.8 million and has a final maturity date of October
2007. The Company has utilized approximately $6.9 million of this facility at
March 31, 2005.
Results of operations
Net earnings from continuing operations totalled $ 0.5 million ($0.03 per
share) for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $4.4 million
($0.32per share) for the comparable prior period. Earnings before
amortization, interest, other income (expense), income taxes, non controlling
interest and discontinued operations totalled $47.0 million versus
$43.3 million in 2004,with real estate operations contributing $45.3 million
(2004 - $42.2 million).
Income from revenue producing properties increased 6.8% to $89.8 million
and net property income, defined as income from revenue producing properties
less property operating expenses increased 6.6% to $50.4 million. As
demonstrated in the following chart, the increase is largely the result of
property acquisitions and developments becoming revenue producing in 2004.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The increase in net income generated by others is largely due to the
Company's investment in 181 Queen Street, which became revenue producing on
March 1, 2004.
Vacancy can have a significant impact on net property income. Vacancies
in the commercial portfolio are 4.2% with the office portfolio having the
largest at 7.5% (December 31, 2004 - 6.7%).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Morguard's residential portfolio vacancy is 4.4%. This is slightly lower
than December 31, 2004 vacancy rate of 5.0%. The low cost of home ownership,
the result of low interest rates, continues to impact the residential rental
market.
Net property income is subsequently charged with amortization and
interest. Earnings after amortization of $14.5 million (March 31, 2004 -
$13.5 million) and interest of $24.3 million, (March 31, 2004 - $25.3 million)
was $6.5 million (March 31, 2004 - $3.4 million).
The Company also recognizes other income and expense items by operating
segment. In the three months ended March 31, 2005, as previously discussed,
the Company recognized a loss on the redemption of the Revenue Properties'
convertible debentures of $2.1 million dollars and $2.1 million loss on
dilution of subsidiaries ownership. In the first three months of 2004, the
Company recognized a gain on the disposition of real estate assets by Morguard
REIT of $7.1 million. The Company was permitted to include this gain in their
earnings, as the Morguard REIT retained a 50% interest in the disposed
properties. As a result, profit from real estate operations before income
taxes, non controlling interest and discontinued operations totalled
4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 versus earnings of
$12.0 million for the comparable prior period.
MANAGEMENT AND OTHER OPERATIONS
Operations
Morguard manages real estate on behalf of institutional investors and
high net worth individuals. Morguard manages a portfolio of office,
industrial, retail and residential assets that totals $2.9 billion. Fees and
other income, net of sales of products for the first quarter ended March 31,
2005 totalled $8.0 million compared to $7.8 million in the comparable prior
period.
Net sales of products, defined as sales of products less cost of sales,
totaled $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to
$0.3 million in the prior period. Included in this amount are the sales of
land held for sale. Net income from these sales totaled $0.01 million (2004 -

for real estate will remain plentiful and real estate will continue to be
aggressively priced.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands of dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Morguard Corporation (the "Company" or "Morguard") is a real estate
investment company formed under the laws of Canada whose principal
activities include property ownership, development and property
management services. Property ownership encompasses interests in both
commercial and residential real estate. The diverse portfolio of
commercial real estate includes retail, office and industrial properties
across eight Canadian provinces. Through its residential real estate
holdings, the Company, in addition to providing rental services,
constructs and sells residential condominiums.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements (the "consolidated financial
statements") have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company's accounting
policies and standards of financial disclosure are also in accordance
with the recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada
("REALPAC") formerly known as the Canadian Institute of Public and
Private Real Estate Companies. These consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and use the same accounting
policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual
audited consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 3.
These consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures
required by GAAP for annual financial statements, and accordingly, these
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
most recently prepared audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2004.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its subsidiaries and the Company's proportionate share of the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of its co-ownership interests,
which include incorporated and unincorporated joint ventures and
partnerships, held by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The
Company's principal operating companies and respective ownership interest
in each are as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ownership March 31, December
2005 31, 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morguard Investments Limited ("MIL") 100.00 100.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morguard Residential Inc. ("MRI") 100.00 100.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust ("Morguard
REIT") 49.88 49.89
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue Properties Company Limited ("RPCL") 66.80 82.40
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All intercompany balances and transactions between subsidiaries of the
Company, including any unrealized gains or losses have been eliminated.
Long-term investments in companies in which the Company does not have
significant influence are recorded at cost. When there is a permanent
impairment in the value of long-term investments, they are written down
to net realizable value.
3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Accounting
Guideline "Consolidation of variable interest entities" (AcG-15), applies
to all fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after November 1,
2004 The Company has reviewed the impact of AcG-15 on its consolidated
subsidiaries and co-ownerships and concluded that neither its
consolidated subsidiaries nor its co-ownerships are variable interest
entities. As a result, the Company will continue to consolidate its
controlled subsidiaries and to account for the co-ownerships using the
proportionate consolidation method.
Convertible debentures
In 2003, the CICA issued amendments to Section 3860 "Financial
Instruments" of the Accounting Handbook that requires the unsecured
convertible debentures of the Company's subsidiaries, previously
classified as non controlling interest ($190.7 million at December 31,
2004, as restated), with the exception of any value assigned to holders'
conversion options ($7.6 million at December 31, 2004, as restated), be
presented as liabilities. Distributions to debenture holders previously
classified as a charge to non controlling interest are presented as
interest expense. Issue costs on convertible debentures ($6.7 million as
at December 31, 2004, as restated) that were previously included as a
reduction of non-controlling interest are included as other assets and
amortized over the original life of the convertible debentures. The
difference between the carrying amount of the liability component of the
convertible debentures and the principal amount is treated as an issue
discount and is accreted, through periodic charges to income, over the
term of the convertible debentures.
The amendments were effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
November 2004 and are applied retroactively. The Company adopted these
amendments effective January 1, 2005. Accordingly, the income for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 is lower due to interest on convertible
debentures of $3.7 million (March 31, 2004 - $4.5 million; December 31,
2004 - $17.8 million), amortization of issue costs $0.3 million
(March 31, 2004 - $0.4 million; December 31, 2004 -$1.5 million) and an
accretion amount of $0.5 million (March 31, 2004 - $0.7 million;
December 31, 2004 - $2.9 million) now charged to interest expense on
convertible debentures. These amendments have resulted in a charge to non
controlling interest of $0.6 million (March 31, 2004 - $0.7 million;
December 31, 2004 - $2.4 million) in the income statement.
Non controlling interest at January 1, 2004 has been restated to show a
reduction of $184.2 million and the shareholders' equity has been
restated to show an increase of $6.4 million. This reflects the
reclassification of the carrying value of the convertible debentures of
$182.7 million (reflected as "convertible debentures payable" on the
consolidated balance sheet) and the reclassification of the unamortized
value of the issue costs of $4.8 million to other assets.

9. LOSS ON REDEMPTION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES/
LOSS ON DILUTION OF SUBSIDIARY OWNERSHIP
On February 23, 2005 (the "Redemption Date"), RPCL completed the cash
redemption of its 7% convertible debentures which resulted in a cash
payment of $27.0 million including accrued interest of $0.3 million. The
redemption resulted in a non-cash loss of $2.1 million.
Prior to the Redemption Date holders of $26.3 million principal amount of
the 7% convertible debentures exercised their right to convert their
holdings into common shares of RPCL. Accordingly RPCL issued 2,157,305
common shares. The Company did not participate in the equity issue and as
a result, the Company's interest in RPCL was diluted by approximately
15.6%. In accordance with GAAP, the Company is considered to have
disposed of approximately 15.6% of its interest in RPCL. This disposal
resulted in a dilution loss of $2.1 million.

13. PENSION PLANS
The Company maintains a contributory defined benefit pension plan
covering certain of its employees. The plan provides benefits based on
length of service and final average earnings. There are only two active
members since the majority of members were employed in the Company's
industrial products distribution business, which was sold in 1996. The
pension obligations and related assets for the former employees remain
part of the Company's defined benefit pension plan. The most recent
actuarial valuation was as of December 31, 2004.
MIL's pension plan, Morguard Investments Limited Employees' Retirement
Plan, is a defined benefit plan, which provides benefits based on years
of service, years of contributions and annual earnings.
Membership is a requirement after a defined term of employment and age.
Funding of the plan is provided by contributions from MIL. Certain
employees who commenced employment prior to January 1, 1997 elected to
contribute to the plan and receive a higher benefit. The most recent
actuarial valuation was as of December 31, 2004.
The cost of benefits earned by employees is actuarially determined using
the projected benefit method pro rated on service and management's best
estimate of compensation increases, retirement ages of employees, future
termination levels and expected return on plan assets. The 10% corridor
(i.e. 10% of greater of plan assets and accrued benefit obligation) has
been utilized for the amortization of any actuarial gain or loss.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's operations are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the
development of future properties, competition, the real estate markets
and general economic conditions in which the Company competes, the
availability and cost of financing and fluctuations in interest rates.
The Company is exposed to the following risks related to financial assets
and liabilities:
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company minimizes its risk to unfavourable interest rate changes by
ensuring that mortgage debt matures over a number of years. The Company
also has outstanding bank loans, which would expose the Company to
fluctuations in short-term interest rates.
Interest rate risk is minimized as debts are financed at fixed rates with
maturities scheduled over a number of years. At March 31, 2005, 92%
(December 31, 2004 - 89%) of the Company's indebtedness for borrowed
money was issued at fixed rates.
As at March 31, 2005, the Company had six contracts to swap floating
rates on future anticipated debt to fixed monthly payments that aggregate
to $206.0 million (December 31, 2004 - $206.0 million). The Company does
not acquire, hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes.
The details of the contracts are as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective Amount Maturity Rate Favourable

able)

May 20, 2005 $38 million May 20, 2015 5.120 (1,540)
September 1, 2005 $25 million September 1, 2015 5.760 (2,110)
October 3, 2005 $43 million October 5, 2015 5.180 (1,533)
November 1, 2005 $25 million November 1, 2015 5.770 (2,020)
March 1, 2006 $20 million March 1, 2016 5.765 (1,463)
March 28, 2006 $55 million March 28, 2016 6.075 (5,237)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) Credit risk
The Company operates as an investor in real estate assets. As an
investor, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that its
tenants may fail to meet their obligations under the lease agreements.
This risk is alleviated by minimizing the amount of exposure the Company
has to any single tenant, ensuring a diversified tenant mix and
purchasing property in several major geographic locations.
(c) Fair value
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
approximates their carrying value. Amounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities and bank indebtedness are also assumed to have a
fair value that approximates their carrying value due to their short-term
nature. The fair value of investments having quoted market values and
which are publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange are based on the
quoted market prices. As at March 31, 2005 the market value of the
portfolio investments is $19.8 million.
(d) Environmental risk
The Company is subject to various federal, provincial and municipal laws
relating to the environment. The Company's ongoing environmental
management program includes regular review of its tenant business uses
and inspections of its properties to ensure compliance, as well as
appropriate testing by qualified environmental consultants when required.
A Phase I environmental audit is performed on properties considered for
acquisition. The Company mitigates the cost of remediation by carrying
environmental insurance.
15. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates primarily in two operating segments, real estate and
management and other operations. Real estate operations are defined to

Revenue from real estate assets is disclosed separately in the
consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings as "income from
properties". Property management and other activities generate fee
revenue in return for services provided. Revenue from these sources is
included in "fees and other income" and "sales of products". All inter-
segment transactions are eliminated on consolidation and do not appear in
the individual segment activity.
Management continues to focus its attention on the growth of its real
estate operations. The existing real estate operations operate across
four property types located in three major geographical locations across
Canada. The Company operates to ensure an appropriate mix of property
type and geographical location. Additional information with respect to
real estate assets is outlined below:
