Marketwired Canada


Terra Firma Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE:TII) ("Terra Firma" or the
"Company"), a real estate finance company, today released its financial results
for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013.

--  Total assets increased by 59% to $73.7 million from $46.4 million at
    December 31, 2012.



"I am excited to report another great quarter, capping of a truly extraordinary
year for our Company. In 2013 we achieved significant expansion of Terra Firma
on every front. I believe our ability to effectively originate, design and
provide real estate loans increases our stature as a real estate lender in the
market, one that has the ability to arrange and participate in financings
secured by both high quality investment properties and commercial and
residential real estate developments undertaken by proven developers," commented
Y. Dov Meyer, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead, we are
optimistic about 2014 as our solid pipeline of loan originations and our
transformative initiatives continue to enhance brand recognition and better
positioning us to take full advantage of market opportunities. We are confident
in our future and our ability to continue to improve on 2013 income and deliver
capital appreciation to our shareholders," he further said.


Results of operations - year ended December 31, 2013

Net income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was
$1.7 million or $0.06 per basic share and $0.05 diluted share, compared to $1.3
million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, in the last year. General and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $1.5
million, compared to $539,000 for the last year.

to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in interest
expense represents the growth of the Company's business and the increase in
syndication capital to fund the investment activities.
