MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of MCAN Mortgage Corporation (“MCAN” or the “Company”) are the
responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Management is responsible for the information
and representations contained in these consolidated financial statements, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Operations and all other sections of the annual report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including the accounting requirements of
our regulator, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada.
The Company’s accounting system and related internal controls are designed, and supporting procedures maintained to provide
reasonable assurance that the Company’s financial records are complete and accurate and that assets are safeguarded against
loss from unauthorized use or disposition.
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada makes such examination and enquiry into the affairs of MCAN
as deemed necessary to be satisfied that the provisions of the Trust and Loan Companies Act are being duly observed for the
benefit of depositors and that the Company is in sound financial condition.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibility for financial reporting and is ultimately
responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. These responsibilities are carried out primarily
through an Audit Committee of unrelated directors appointed by the Board of Directors. The Chief Financial Officer reviews
internal controls, control systems and compliance matters and reports thereon to the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the external auditors to discuss internal controls over the financial
reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Audit Committee reviews the consolidated financial
statements and recommends them to the Board of Directors for approval. The Audit Committee also recommends to the Board
of Directors and Shareholders the appointment of external auditors and approval of their fees.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by the Company’s external auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Ernst & Young LLP has full and free access to the Audit Committee.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
Independent auditors’ report
To the Shareholders of MCAN Mortgage Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of MCAN Mortgage Corporation, which comprise the
consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable
the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MCAN
Mortgage Corporation as at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2015 and 2014 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
1. Corporate Information
MCAN Mortgage Corporation (the “Company” or “MCAN”) is a Loan Company under the Trust and Loan Companies Act
(Canada) (the “Trust Act”) and a Mortgage Investment Corporation (“MIC”) under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax
Act”).
As a Loan Company under the Trust Act, the Company is subject to the guidelines and regulations set by the Office of the
Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (“OSFI”).
MCAN’s primary objective is to generate a reliable stream of income by investing its corporate funds in a portfolio of
mortgages (including single family residential, residential construction, non‐residential construction and commercial loans),
as well as other types of financial investments, loans and real estate investments. MCAN employs leverage by issuing term
deposits eligible for Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) deposit insurance up to a maximum of five times capital
(on a non‐consolidated income tax basis in the MIC entity) as limited by the provisions of the Tax Act applicable to a MIC.
The term deposits are sourced through a network of independent financial agents. As a MIC, MCAN is entitled to deduct
from income for tax purposes 50% of capital gains dividends and 100% of other dividends paid. Such dividends are received
by shareholders as capital gains dividends and interest income, respectively.
MCAN’s primary wholly owned subsidiary, Xceed Mortgage Corporation (“Xceed”), focuses on the origination and sale to
MCAN and third party mortgage aggregators of residential first‐charge mortgage products across Canada. As such, Xceed
operates primarily in one industry segment through its sales team and mortgage brokers. Xceed is incorporated in the
province of Ontario.
MCAN also participates in the National Housing Act (“NHA”) mortgage‐backed securities (“MBS”) program. For further
details, refer to Note 6.
MCAN is incorporated in Canada. MCAN and Xceed’s head office is located at 200 King Street West, Suite 600, Toronto,
Ontario, Canada. MCAN is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol MKP.
The consolidated financial statements were approved in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on February
26, 2016.
2. Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), effective for the Company as at December 31, 2015, as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (“IASB”), including the accounting guidance of OSFI.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, foreclosed real estate, certain financial investments designated as available for sale and derivative
financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in
Canadian dollars.
The Company separates its assets into its corporate and securitization portfolios for reporting purposes. Corporate assets
represent the Company’s core strategic investments, and are funded by term deposits and share capital. Securitization
assets consist primarily of mortgages that have been securitized through the market MBS program and the CMB program
and subsequently sold to third parties, in addition to reinvestment assets such as short‐term investments purchased with
CMB program mortgage principal repayments. These assets are funded by the cash received from the sale of the associated
securities to third party investors. The obligations to repay funds are classified as financial liabilities from securitization.
3. Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the balances of MCAN and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2015.
‐ 9 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
3. Basis of Consolidation (continued)
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated
until the date that such control ceases. Per IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, an investor controls an investee
when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same
reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.
All intercompany balances due to/from subsidiaries, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from
intercompany transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following are the significant accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements. Certain policies adopted in or relevant to fiscal 2015 and 2014 are also discussed below.
(1) Financial instruments ‐ initial recognition and subsequent measurement
(i)
Date of recognition
(ii)
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Measurement of financial instruments
All financial instruments are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial instruments not subsequently
recorded at fair value through the consolidated statements of income, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
measurement and accounting treatment depends principally on the classification of financial instruments at initial
recognition. The classification of an instrument in the measurement categories specified in IFRS depends on a number of
factors, including the purpose and management’s intention for which the financial instruments were acquired and their
contractual characteristics. The Company classifies its financial instruments in the measurement categories noted below:
a.
Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading
Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized
in the consolidated statements of income. Interest income or expense is recorded in the consolidated statements of
income on the accrual basis.
A financial asset or financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
(a) it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term;
(b) on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for
which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short‐term profit‐taking; or
(c) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective
hedging instrument).
Derivatives are recorded at fair value and carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their
fair value is negative. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are included in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to economically hedge interest rate
risk.
No derivative financial instruments have been designated for hedge accounting.
‐ 10 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
b.
Available for sale financial investments
Available for sale investments include marketable securities, an equity investment in commercial real estate and an
equity investment in a mortgage fund. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those that are neither
classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through the consolidated statements of income.
Certain marketable securities are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time but may be sold in response to
needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions.
c.
Loans and receivables
The loans and receivables category includes mortgages, other loans, non‐derivative financial assets and certain
financial investments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than:
Those that the Company intends to sell immediately or in the near term and those that the Company upon initial
recognition designates at fair value;
Those that the Company, upon initial recognition, designates as available for sale; or
Those for which the Company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of
credit deterioration.
After initial measurement, financial assets classified as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate method (“EIM”), less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated
by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIM.
The amortization is included in mortgage interest income or interest on financial investments and other loans in the
consolidated statements of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements
of income.
d.
Financial liabilities
After initial recognition, interest bearing financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
EIM.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs using the
EIM. The amortization is included in the related line in the consolidated statements of income. Unamortized premiums
and discounts are recognized in the consolidated statements of income upon extinguishment of the liability.
(iii)
Transaction costs
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset
or financial liability. Transaction costs are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the instrument using the EIM,
except for transaction costs which are related to financial assets or financial liabilities classified as held for trading or
designated at fair value, which are expensed.
(2) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized
when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a qualifying “pass‐through” arrangement; and
either:
the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or
‐ 11 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, but has transferred control of the financial asset.
When substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred, the Company will
derecognize the financial asset and recognize separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained
in the transfer. When substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the
Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received.
Certain transaction costs incurred are also capitalized and amortized using the EIM. When the Company has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset nor transferred control
of the financial asset, the financial asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the financial
asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the
Company has retained.
(ii) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Where an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the
consolidated statements of income.
(3) Determination of fair value
Per IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
For all other financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation
techniques. Valuation techniques include the discounted cash flow method, comparison to similar instruments for which
market observable prices may exist and other relevant valuation models.
Certain financial instruments are recorded at fair value using valuation techniques in which current market transactions or
observable market data are not available. Where available, their fair value is determined using a valuation model that has
been tested against prices or inputs to actual market transactions and using the Company’s best estimate of the most
appropriate model assumptions. The fair value of certain real estate assets is determined using independent appraisals.
Models and valuations are adjusted to reflect counterparty credit and liquidity spread and limitations in the models.
(4) Foreclosed assets held for sale
Foreclosed assets are repossessed non‐financial assets where the Company gains title, ownership or possession of
individual properties, such as real estate properties, which are managed for sale in an orderly manner with the proceeds,
used to reduce or repay any outstanding debt. The Company holds foreclosed properties for sale rather than for its business
use.
Held‐for‐sale foreclosed assets are initially carried at fair value less costs to sell. In subsequent measurements, the asset is
carried at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. Any
difference between the carrying value of the asset before foreclosure and the initially estimated realizable amount of the
asset is recorded in the provision for credit losses line of the consolidated statements of income. The Company
predominantly relies on third‐party appraisals to determine the carrying value of foreclosed assets.
(5) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses at each consolidated financial statement date whether there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be
impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after
the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated
future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(i)
Impaired mortgages include uninsured mortgages that are more than 90 days in arrears or are less than 90 days in arrears
but for which management does not have reasonable assurance that the full amount of principal and interest will be
collected in a timely manner. An insured mortgage is considered to be impaired when the mortgage is 365 days past due,
whether or not collection is in doubt.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant
financial difficulty, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, default or delinquency
in interest or principal payments and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated
future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Financial assets carried at amortized cost
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Company first assesses individually whether objective evidence of
impairment exists for financial assets that are significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If the Company determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial
asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them
for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to
be, recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit
losses that have not yet been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance
account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Interest income continues to
be accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment
loss.
The interest income is recorded as part of the related interest income component. Mortgages, together with the associated
allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized. If, in a
subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring
after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the
allowance account. If a write‐off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to the provision for credit losses.
The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate
(“EIR”). If a mortgage has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current EIR.
The calculation of the present value of estimated future cash flows reflects the projected cash flows less costs to sell.
For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of the Company’s internal
system that considers credit risk characteristics such as asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type, risk
rating, past‐due status and other relevant factors. Risk ratings are mapped to rating agency assessments of corporate
bonds. Corporate bond historical default rates are used for an actual historical period similar to the environment at the
time of measurement, using factors such as housing starts, unemployment rate, and GDP growth.
Future cash flows on a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis
of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience
is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions on which the historical loss
experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates
of changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with, changes in related observable data from year
to year (such as changes in unemployment rates, property prices, payment status or other factors that are indicative of
incurred losses in the group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows
are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
(ii)
Available for sale financial investments
For available for sale financial investments, the Company assesses at the consolidated financial statement date whether
there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.
‐ 13 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(6)
In the case of equity investments classified as available for sale, one of the indications of impairment would include a
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. “Significant” is evaluated against the
original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original
cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss ‐ measured as the difference between the acquisition
cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated
statements of income ‐ is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in the consolidated statements of
income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statements of income;
increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
In the case of debt instruments classified as available for sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial
assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the
difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously
recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
Future interest income continues to be accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of
interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. The interest income is
recorded to the related interest income component. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases
and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the
consolidated statements of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statements of income.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities where the Company is considered the principal to the underlying transactions are
offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated financial statements if, and only if, the Company currently has an
enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
As at December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any outstanding transactions that are subject to netting contracts with
third parties.
(7) Taxes
(i) Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted
at the consolidated financial statement date.
As a MIC under the Tax Act, the Company is able to deduct from income for tax purposes dividends paid within 90 days of
year‐end. The Company intends to maintain its status as a MIC and intends to pay sufficient dividends in current and future
years to ensure that it is not subject to income taxes in the MIC entity on a non‐consolidated basis. Accordingly, the
Company does not record a provision for current taxes within the MIC entity, however provisions are recorded as applicable
in all subsidiaries of MCAN.
Current tax relating to items recognized directly to shareholders’ equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated
statements of income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the Company’s tax returns with respect to
situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation, and establishes provisions where appropriate.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the consolidated financial statement date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
all taxable temporary differences, except:
In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries or associates and interests in
joint ventures where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
‐ 14 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused
tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be used, except in the following
instances:
Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting income nor taxable income; and
(8)
(9)
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries or associates and interests
in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can
be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each consolidated financial statement date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax
asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each consolidated financial statement date and
are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the consolidated financial statement date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in shareholders’ equity is recognized in shareholders’ equity and not in
the consolidated statements of income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
As a MIC under the Tax Act, the Company is able to deduct from income for tax purposes dividends paid within 90 days of
year‐end. The Company intends to maintain its status as a MIC and intends to pay sufficient dividends in current and future
years to ensure that it is not subject to income taxes in the MIC entity on a non‐consolidated basis. Accordingly, the
Company does not record a provision for deferred taxes within the MIC entity, however provisions are recorded as
applicable in all subsidiaries of MCAN.
Dividends on common shares
Dividends on common shares are deducted from shareholders’ equity in the quarter that they are approved. Dividends
that are approved after the consolidated financial statement date are not recognized as a liability in the consolidated
financial statements but are disclosed as an event after the consolidated financial statement date.
Investment in associate
The Company’s investment in its associate, MCAP Commercial LP (“MCAP”), is accounted for using the equity method. An
associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost plus post
acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate.
The consolidated statements of income reflect the Company’s proportionate share of the results of operations of the
associate. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its
share of any changes and discloses this change, when applicable, in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’
equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to
the extent of the interest in the associate.
The most recent available financial statements of the associate are used by the investor in applying the equity method.
When the financial statements of an associate used in applying the equity method are prepared as of a different date from
that of the investor, adjustments shall be made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between that
date and the date of the investor’s financial statements.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to harmonize the accounting policies of the associate with those of the Company.
‐ 15 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional
impairment loss on the Company’s investment in its associate. The Company determines at each consolidated financial
statement date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case,
the Company then calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate
and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the consolidated statements of income, thus reducing the carrying
value by the amount of impairment.
(10) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and that the
revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value
of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes
and duty. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as
principal or agent. The Company has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements.
Interest income or expense
For all financial investments measured at amortized cost and interest bearing financial assets classified as available for sale,
interest income or expense is recorded using the EIM, which reflects the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future
cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to
the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. The calculation takes into account the contractual interest rate,
along with any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and all other premiums or
discounts. Interest income or expense is included in the appropriate component of the consolidated statements of income.
(11) Cash and short‐term investments
Cash and short‐term investments on the consolidated balance sheets comprise cash held at banks and short‐term deposits
with original maturity dates of less than 90 days.
(12) Share‐based payment transactions
The cost of cash‐settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date, further details of which are
discussed in Note 30. The obligations are adjusted for fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s common shares.
Changes in the obligations are recorded as salaries and benefits in the consolidated statements of income with a
corresponding change to other liabilities. The liability is re‐measured at fair value at each consolidated financial statement
date up to and including the settlement date.
(13) Capital assets and intangible assets
Capital assets and intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recorded at the
following rates:
Capital assets
Furniture and fixtures
Five years straight line
Computer hardware
Three to five years straight line
Leasehold improvements
Lease term and one renewal straight line
Intangible assets
Computer software
One year to five years straight line
The amortization expense is included in the general and administrative operating expense category in the consolidated
statement of income.
The amortization period and the amortization method for capital assets and intangible assets are reviewed at least at the
end of each reporting period.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible
asset when the Company can demonstrate:
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
How the asset will generate future economic benefits
The availability of resources to complete the asset
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
(14) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares are
shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where the company purchases the company’s equity share
capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from
equity attributable to the company’s equity holders until the share are either cancelled or re‐issued. Where such ordinary
shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transactions
costs, is included in equity.
(15) Contingent liabilities
Provisions for legal claims are recognised when the group (a) has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events; (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) the amount has
been reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to
settle the obligation using a pre‐tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is included in interest expense.
(16) Standards issued but not effective
Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are
listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations issued that the Company reasonably expects to be applicable
at a future date. The Company intends to adopt those standards when they become effective.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued a final revised IFRS 9 standard. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial
asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on
how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also includes an expected credit loss model to replace the current
incurred loss model. Additionally, IFRS 9 has new hedge accounting principles that are aimed to align hedge accounting
more closely with risk management. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The
Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
IFRS 15 provides a single principle‐based framework that applies to contracts with customers. IFRS 15 is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 15 on its
consolidated financial statements.
IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
The Company will be required to adopt amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which includes
amendments to further encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining what information to disclose
in their financial statements, for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. Management has concluded that the
amendments to IAS 1 will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
‐ 17 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
The Company will be required to adopt amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, requiring increased
disclosure regarding derecognition of financial assets and continuing involvement accounting, for annual periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2016. Management has concluded that the amendments to IFRS 7 will have no impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 16, Leases
IFRS 16, Leases sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both
parties to a contract, i.e., the customer (‘lessee’) and the supplier (‘lessor’). IFRS 16 is effective from January 1, 2019. All
leases result in a company (the lessee) obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments
are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating
leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying that
model, a lessee is required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless
the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the
income statement. The Company has not yet determined the impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements.
5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future
periods.
(a) Significant Accounting Judgments
Going concern
The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is
satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management
is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.
Significant influence
In determining whether it has significant influence over an entity, the Company makes certain judgments based on the
applicable accounting standards. These judgments form the basis for the Company’s policies in accounting for its equity
investments.
Taxes
As a MIC under the Tax Act, the Company is able to deduct from income for tax purposes dividends paid within 90 days of
year‐end. The Company intends to maintain its status as a MIC and intends to pay sufficient dividends in current and future
years to ensure that it is not subject to income taxes in the MIC entity on a non‐consolidated basis. Accordingly, the
Company does not record a provision for current and deferred taxes within the MIC entity, however provisions are recorded
as applicable in all subsidiaries of MCAN.
(b) Significant Accounting Estimates
Fair value of financial instruments
Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements cannot
be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of
mathematical models. The inputs to these models are derived from observable market data where possible, but where
observable market data are not available, estimates are required to establish fair values. These estimates include
considerations of liquidity and model inputs such as discount rates, prepayment rates and default rate assumptions for
certain investments.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Impairment losses on mortgages
The Company reviews its individually significant mortgage balances at each consolidated financial statement date to assess
whether an impairment loss should be recorded. In particular, estimates by management are required in the calculation of
the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss. In estimating these cash flows, the
Company makes assumptions about the borrower’s financial situation and the net realizable value of collateral. These
estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors, and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes
to the allowance.
Mortgages that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and all individually insignificant mortgages
are then assessed collectively, in groups of mortgages with similar risk characteristics, to determine whether a provision
should be made due to incurred loss events for which there is objective evidence but whose effects are not yet evident.
The collective assessment takes account of data from the mortgage portfolio (such as credit quality, levels of arrears, credit
utilization, loan to value ratios, etc.), concentrations of risks and economic data (including levels of unemployment, real
estate price indices and the performance of different individual groups).
Mortgage prepayment rates
In calculating the rate at which borrowers prepay their mortgages, the Company makes estimates based on its historical
experience. These assumptions impact the timing of revenue recognition and the amortization of mortgage premiums
using the EIM.
Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be
available against which the losses can be used in the subsidiaries of the Company. Significant management judgment is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized in the subsidiaries of the Company, based
upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies.
Further details on taxes are disclosed in Note 19.
Impairment of financial assets
As applicable, the Company reviews financial assets at each consolidated financial statement date to assess whether an
impairment loss should be recorded. In particular, estimates by management are required in the calculation of the amount
and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss. These estimates are based on assumptions about
a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the fair value of the asset.
6. Securitization Activities
The Company is an NHA MBS issuer, which involves the securitization of insured mortgages to create MBS. The Company
issues MBS through the market MBS program, which is an internal program where it originates or purchases insured single
family mortgages for securitization. The Company issued MBS through the CMB program; however its participation ceased
during 2015 with the maturity of the last CMB bond issuance.
Pursuant to the NHA MBS program, investors of MBS receive monthly cash flows consisting of interest and scheduled and
unscheduled principal payments. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) makes principal and interest
payments in the event of any MBS default by the issuer, thus fulfilling the timely payment obligation to investors. To date,
the Company has sold MBS as part of the market MBS program and the CMB program, which are discussed below.
Market MBS Program
As part of the market MBS program, the Company may sell MBS to third parties and may also sell the net economics and
cash flows from the underlying mortgages (“interest‐only strips”) to third parties. The MBS portion of the mortgage
represents the core securitized mortgage principal and the right to receive coupon interest at a specified rate. The interest‐
only strips represent the right to receive excess cash flows after satisfying the MBS coupon interest payment and any other
expenses such as mortgage servicing. As part of this program, MCAN originates and purchases insured single family
mortgages to sell as MBS.
‐ 19 ‐
2015 ANNUAL REPORT | MCAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except for per share amounts)
6. Securitization Activities (continued)
The primary risks associated with the market MBS program are prepayment, liquidity and funding risk, including the
obligation to fund 100% of any cash shortfall related to the Timely Payment (discussed below) as part of the market MBS
program.
Any mortgages securitized through the market MBS program for which derecognition is not achieved remain on MCAN’s
consolidated balance sheet as securitized assets and are also included in total exposures in the calculation of the leverage
ratio (Note 34). For income tax purposes, mortgage securitizations by MCAN through the NHA MBS program are considered
to be true mortgage sales and therefore are not included in income tax assets (Note 34).
MCAN has capitalized certain mortgage acquisition costs. These costs are amortized using the EIM, which incorporates
mortgage prepayment assumptions.
During 2015, MCAN created $589,148 of new MBS which was sold to third parties (2014 ‐ $561,203). The securitized
mortgages remain on MCAN’s consolidated balance sheet while a corresponding financial liability from securitization is
incurred (Notes 16 and 21) at the time that the MBS is sold to third parties, due to the fact that MCAN retains significant
continuing involvement with the assets.
During 2015, MCAN sold the interest‐only strips associated with $147,219 of mortgages securitized through the market
MBS program to third parties (2014 ‐ $nil). Subsequent to sale, MCAN derecognized the securitized mortgages and
associated financial liabilities from securitization from its consolidated balance sheet as a result of the transfer of
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership to the purchaser of the interest‐only strip. As part of the transaction, MCAN
recognized a loan receivable from the third party purchaser (Note 11) and recognized a gain on sale net of unamortized
transaction costs.
In the case of mortgage defaults, MCAN is required to make scheduled principal and interest payments to investors as part
of the Timely Payment Guarantee (discussed below) and then place the mortgage/property through the insurance claims
process to recover any losses. These defaults may result in cash flow timing mismatches that may marginally increase
funding and liquidity risks.
CMB Program
MCAN previously participated in the CMB program, which involves the sale of MBS to the Canada Housing Trust (“CHT”).
MCAN’s participation in the CMB program ceased during 2015 with the maturity of the last remaining CMB bond issuance.
On the sale of MBS to CHT, MCAN received proceeds for the sale and incurred a corresponding liability, which did not
amortize over the term of the issuance and was payable in full at maturity. As the securitized mortgages repaid, MCAN
reinvested the collected principal in certain permitted investments. The securitized mortgages and reinvestment assets
were held as collateral against the CMB liabilities.
Since MCAN retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership on the sale of the securitized mortgages to CHT, MCAN
retained the mortgages (Note 16), reinvestment assets (Notes 10 and 15) and financial liabilities from securitization (Note
21) on the consolidated balance sheets until the maturity of the CMB issuance.
MCAN entered into “pay floating, receive fixed” interest rate swaps as part of the CMB program (Note 17). The purpose of
the interest rate swaps was to hedge interest rate risk on both securitized mortgages and principal reinvestment assets that
had a floating interest rate, as substantially all interest payments on the securitization liabilities were fixed rate.
Timely Payment
Consistent with all issuers of MBS, the Company is required to remit scheduled mortgage principal and interest payments
to CMHC, even if these mortgage payments have not been collected from mortgagors. Similarly, at the maturity of the MBS
pools that have been issued by MCAN, any outstanding principal must be paid to CMHC. If the Company fails to make a
scheduled principal and interest payment to CMHC, CMHC may enforce the assignment of the mortgages included in all
MBS pools in addition to other assets backing the MBS issued.
As part of the market MBS program, the Company is required to fund 100% of any cash shortfall unless it has sold the
interest‐only strip, in which case the purchaser of the interest‐only strip is obligated to fund 100% of any cash shortfall.

Transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety
Market MBS Program
Since MCAN neither transferred nor retained risks and rewards of ownership on sale and retained significant continuing
involvement through the provision of the timely payment guarantee, the majority of the market MBS program sale
transactions resulted in MCAN continuing to recognize the securitized mortgages and financial liabilities from securitization
on its consolidated balance sheet. The securitized mortgage balance as at December 31, 2015 was $1,075,947 (December
31, 2014 ‐ $716,112) (Note 16). The financial liabilities from securitization balance as at December 31, 2015 was $1,070,304
(December 31, 2014 ‐ $708,122) (Note 21).
CMB Program
Since MCAN retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership on sale, the previous CMB mortgage sale transactions
resulted in MCAN recognizing the securitized mortgages, reinvestment assets and financial liabilities from securitization on
its consolidated balance sheet. The remaining securitized mortgage balance as at December 31, 2014 was $25,072 (Note
16). The reinvestment asset balance as at December 31, 2014 was $12,395 (Notes 10 and 15). The financial liabilities from
securitization balance as at December 31, 2014 was $37,941 (Note 21). These items were all removed from the consolidated
balance sheet during 2015 upon the maturity of the CMB bond liability at which point the Company ceased its involvement
in the CMB program.
Transferred financial assets that are derecognized in their entirety but where the Company has a continuing involvement
Market MBS Program
MCAN sells MBS and the associated interest only strips to third parties and derecognizes the assets from its consolidated
balance sheet as a result of the transfer of substantially all risks and rewards on sale. The Company’s continuing involvement
is the ongoing obligation in its role as MBS issuer to service the mortgages and MBS until maturity.
The total outstanding derecognized MBS balance related to the market MBS program as at December 31, 2015 was
$334,232 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $230,578), which was not reflected as an asset or liability on MCAN’s consolidated balance
sheets at either date. The MBS mature as follows: 2016 ‐ $29,272, 2017 ‐ $157,741, 2020 ‐ $147,219.

9. Mortgages ‐ Corporate (continued)
MCAN’s corporate mortgage portfolio includes insured and uninsured single family mortgages. The Company does not
invest in the United States mortgage market. Uninsured mortgages may not exceed 80% of the value of the real estate
securing such loans at the time of funding. Residential mortgages insured by CMHC or Genworth Financial Mortgage
Insurance Company Canada Inc. (“Genworth”) may exceed this ratio.
Uninsured completed inventory loans are credit facilities extended to developers to provide interim mortgage financing on
residential units (condominium or freehold), where all construction has been completed and therefore no further
construction risk exists. Satisfactory confirmation that all units are substantially complete is required prior to funding all
inventory loans. Final occupancy permits, condo corporation registration and/or written confirmation by the cost
consultant as to the completion of the units are examples of verification measures.
Residential construction loans are made to homebuilders to finance residential construction projects. These loans generally
have a floating interest rate and terms of one to two years.
Commercial loans include commercial term mortgages and high ratio mortgage loans.
The weighted average yield of the Company’s corporate mortgage portfolio is as follows:

Corporate Assets
The Company holds an equity investment in a commercial real estate investment fund in which it has a 14.1% equity interest.
The fund invests primarily in commercial office buildings and its fair value is based on independent appraisals of the
buildings. As property acquisitions are made by the fund, the Company advances its proportionate share to finance the
acquisitions. During 2015, the Company recorded a $5,957 gross increase in the fair value of the investment (2014 ‐ $4,399),
which is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income net of deferred taxes. Additionally, the
Company recorded distribution income from this investment in 2015 of $2,509 (2014 ‐ $676), which is reflected in interest
on financial investments and other loans.

10. Financial Investments (continued)
The Company has funded an investment in the KingSett High Yield Fund in which it has a 9% equity interest. The fund invests
in mortgages secured by real estate with a focus on mezzanine, subordinate and bridge mortgages. As mortgage advances
are made by the fund, the Company advances its proportionate share. The fund pays a base monthly distribution of 9%,
and distributes any additional income earned on a quarterly basis. The Company’s total funding commitment is $36,000,
which consists of $24,000 of capital advances for the fund and $12,000 that supports credit facilities. As at December 31,
2015, the Company’s unfunded commitment was $25,425 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $31,500).
Both investments noted above are designated as available for sale, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.
Securitization Assets
Insured MBS (held in trust for the CMB program) represented receivables from third party MBS issuers held as principal
reinvestment assets as part of the Company’s participation in the CMB program. The weighted average yield was 1.53% as
at December 31, 2014. The fair value of MBS held in trust for the CMB program as at December 31, 2014 was $907.

12. Equity Investment in MCAP Commercial LP
As at December 31, 2015, the Company held a 14.70% equity interest in MCAP (December 31, 2014 ‐ 14.75%), consisting of
15.0 % of voting class A units (December 31, 2014 ‐ 15.0 %), 0% of non‐voting class B units (December 31, 2014 ‐ 0%) and
17.0 % of non‐voting class C units (December 31, 2014 ‐ 17.0 %). The equity interest represents 4.3 million units held by
MCAN from 29.2 million total outstanding MCAP partnership units. MCAN holds a 15.0% voting interest in MCAP through
its class A units (December 31, 2014 ‐ 15.0%).
Since MCAP’s fiscal year end is November 30th, MCAN records equity income from MCAP on a one‐month lag. To the extent
that MCAP has a material transaction during the one‐month lag, MCAN is required to reflect the transaction in the month
in which it occurred instead of the subsequent month.
MCAP’s head office is located at 200 King Street West, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Although MCAN’s voting
interest in MCAP was less than 20% as at December 31, 2015, MCAN uses the equity basis of accounting for the investment
as it has significant influence in MCAP per IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, as a result of its entitlement
to a position on MCAP’s Board of Directors.
During 2015, the Company’s equity interest was reduced from 14.75% to 14.70% upon the issuance of new Class B units to
another partner of MCAP. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a $68 gain on dilution.

Short term investments consist of cash held in trust for securitization programs and previously included commercial paper
held as reinvestment assets for the CMB program, and mature within 90 days. Securitization program cash held in trust
represents securitized mortgage principal collections from borrowers payable to MBS holders. The weighted average yield
of the commercial paper was 1.18% at December 31, 2014.
16. Mortgages ‐ Securitized
MCAN’s securitized mortgage portfolio consists of insured mortgages securitized through the market MBS program and,
previously, the CMB program. These mortgages are held as collateral against the related securitization liabilities (Notes 6
and 21).

Certain capitalized transaction costs are included in mortgages and are amortized using the EIM. As at December 31, 2015,
the unamortized capitalized cost balance was $13,563 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $9,089). The amortization of these transaction
costs incorporates a 12% annual mortgage prepayment rate.
All mortgages in the securitized portfolio are insured, therefore they do not have a collective allowance for credit losses.

There were no impaired securitized mortgages as at December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
17. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk between the time that a mortgage rate is
committed to borrowers and the time that the mortgage is funded, or in the case of mortgages securitized through the
market MBS program, the time that the mortgage is securitized. The interest rate swap counterparty is a Canadian
chartered bank. The mortgage commitment interest rate swap is included in other assets or other liabilities depending on
its balance.
As part of its participation in the CMB program, the Company entered into “pay‐floating, receive‐fixed” interest rate swaps
to hedge interest rate risk on both securitized mortgages and principal reinvestment assets that had a floating interest rate.
The interest rate swaps are carried at fair value, which is calculated by discounting future net cash flows based on forward
interest rates.
As at December 31, 2015, there were no outstanding derivative financial instrument notional balances and the fair value of
all instruments was $nil.

During 2015, the Company incurred net realized and unrealized losses of $2,914 (2014 ‐ $1,729) on the interest rate swaps
used to hedge interest rate risk on mortgage funding commitments. Any offsetting gains are recognized over the duration
of the mortgages securitized through the market MBS program through higher spread income, or in the case of mortgages
hedged for whole loan sales, when the mortgages are sold to third parties.
The Company does not apply hedge accounting and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are not netted
against income recognized from the hedged instruments (e.g. spread income over duration of market MBS program
issuance, whole loan gains on sale).

18. Term Deposits
Term deposits are issued to various individuals and institutions with original maturities ranging from 30 days to five years.
The weighted average term deposit interest rate as at December 31, 2015 was 2.26% (December 31, 2014 ‐ 2.41%). The
Company’s term deposits are eligible for CDIC deposit insurance.
Term deposits mature as follows: less than one year ‐ $575,914 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $549,131); one to three years ‐

Term deposits are classified as other financial liabilities and are recorded at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of
term deposits as at December 31, 2015 was $905,167 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $825,755), and is determined by discounting
the contractual cash flows using market interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

30. Related Party Disclosures (continued)
Executive Share Purchase Plan
The Company has an Executive Share Purchase Plan (the “Share Purchase Plan”) whereby the Board of Directors can
approve loans to key personnel for the purpose of purchasing the Company’s common shares. The maximum amount of
loans approved under the Share Purchase Plan is limited to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares.
Dividend distributions on the common shares are used to reduce the principal balance of the loans as follows: 50% of
regular distributions; 75% of capital gain distributions. Common shares are issued out of treasury for the Share Purchase
Plan at the weighted average trading price for the 20 days preceding such issue.
The Company advanced $185 of new loans under the Share Purchase Plan during 2015 (2014 ‐ $nil). The loans advanced
were provided to purchase shares issued through the rights offering. As at December 31, 2015, $1,559 of loans were
outstanding (December 31, 2014 ‐ $1,523) (Note 11). The loans under the Share Purchase Plan bear interest at prime plus
1% (3.7%) as at December 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 ‐ prime plus 1% (4%)) and have a five‐year term. The shares are
pledged as security for the loans and had a fair value of $2,469 as at December 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $2,738).
During 2015, MCAN recognized $58 of interest income (2014 ‐ $62) on the Share Purchase Plan loans.
Deferred Share Units Plan
The Company has a Deferred Share Units Plan (the “DSU Plan”) whereby the Board of Directors granted units under the
DSU Plan to the President and Chief Executive Officer (the “DSU Participant”). Each unit is equivalent in value to one
common share of the Company. Following his retirement/termination date, the DSU Participant is entitled to receive cash
for each unit. The individual unit value is based on the average market value of the Company’s common shares for the five
days preceding the retirement/termination date. The DSU Participant was granted 30,000 units under the DSU Plan during
2010. The DSU Participant is entitled to receive dividend distributions in the form of additional units. All dividends paid
after July 6, 2014 vest immediately such that as at December 31, 2015, all 48,890 units issued had vested (December 31,
2014 ‐ 44,905).
The Company recognizes compensation recoveries or expenses associated with the DSU Plan over the vesting period. The
compensation expense (recovery) recognized related to the DSU Plan for 2015 was $(61) (2014 ‐ $147). As at December 31,
2015, the accrued DSU Plan liability was $581 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $643).
Restricted Share Units Plan
The Company has a Restricted Share Units Plan (the “RSU Plan”) whereby the Board of Directors granted units under the
RSU Plan to certain members of senior management of the Company (the “RSU Participants”). Each unit is equivalent in
value to one common share of the Company. The RSU Participants are entitled to receive cash for each unit three years
subsequent to the awarding of the units subject to continued employment with the Company. The individual unit values
are based on the value of the Company’s common shares at the time of payment. In addition, the RSU Participants are
entitled to receive dividend distributions in the form of additional units. All RSU units vest after three years.
During 2015, the RSU Participants were granted 35,120 units under the RSU Plan (2014 ‐ 14,999). As at December 31, 2015,
65,802 units were outstanding (December 31, 2014 ‐ 27,984). As at December 31, 2015, no units had vested (December
31, 2014 ‐ nil).
The Company recognizes compensation expenses associated with the RSU Plan over the vesting period. The compensation
expense recognized related to the RSU Plan for 2015 was $152 (2014 ‐ $75). As at December 31, 2015, the accrued RSU
Plan liability was $229 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $77).

The Company incurred $492 of operating lease expenses during 2015 (2014 ‐ $418), included in general and administrative
expenses.
The Company outsources the majority of its mortgage servicing and continues to pay servicing expenses as long as the
mortgages remain on its consolidated balance sheet.
In the ordinary course of business, MCAN and its service providers (including MCAP), their subsidiaries and related parties
may from time to time be party to legal proceedings which may result in unplanned payments to third parties.
To the best of its knowledge, the Company’s management does not expect the outcome of any existing proceedings to have
a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
32. Credit Facilities
The Company has a line of credit from a Canadian chartered bank that is a $75,000 facility bearing interest at prime plus
0.75% (3.45%) at December 31, 2015 (December 31, 2014 ‐ prime plus 0.75% (3.75%)). The facility has a sub limit of $50,000
for issued letters of credit and $50,000 for overdrafts, and is due and payable upon demand. As at December 31, 2015, the
outstanding overdraft balance was $nil (December 31, 2014 ‐ $nil). The letters of credit have a term of up to one year from
the date of issuance, plus a renewal clause providing for an automatic one‐year extension at the maturity date subject to
the bank’s option to cancel by written notice at least 30 days prior to the letters of credit expiry date. The letters of credit
are for the purpose of supporting developer obligations to municipalities in conjunction with residential construction loans.
As at December 31, 2015, there were letters of credit in the amount of $35,863 issued (December 31, 2014 ‐ $36,357) and
additional letters of credit in the amount of $22,936 committed but not issued (December 31, 2014 ‐ $16,347).
The Company maintains a credit warehouse facility with a Schedule III Canadian bank which can be drawn as required as
mortgage fundings occur. The facility bears interest at the prime rate (2.70%) and carries a standby charge on the unused
portion of the facility equal to 0.25% of amounts up to $35,000 and 0.50% of amounts over $35,000. The facility provides
for up to $50,000 of borrowings. Insured mortgages are eligible to act as collateral in the facility for a period of no longer
than one year. As at December 31, 2015, the Company had borrowed $nil from this facility (December 31, 2014 ‐ $nil).
Subsequent to year end, the Schedule III Canadian bank ceased its operations and was placed under supervisory
administration. The credit warehouse facility was terminated as of this date. The termination of the credit warehouse
facility did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations or liquidity given other sources of funding available to
the Company.

33. Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, is the potential impact of changes in interest rates on financial assets and liabilities. Interest
rate risk arises when principal and interest cash flows have mismatched repricing and maturity dates.
An interest rate gap is a common measure of interest rate sensitivity. A positive gap occurs when more assets than liabilities
reprice/mature within a particular time period. A negative gap occurs when there is an excess of liabilities over assets
repricing/maturing. The former provides a positive earnings impact in the event of an increase in interest rates during the
time period. Conversely, negative gaps are positively positioned for decreases in interest rates during that particular time
period. The determination of the interest rate sensitivity or gap position is based upon the earlier of the repricing or
maturity date of each asset and liability, and includes numerous assumptions.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014 and does not incorporate mortgage and loan prepayments. The Company currently cannot reasonably
estimate the impact of prepayments on its interest rate sensitivity analysis. The analysis is subject to significant change in
subsequent periods based on changes in customer preferences and in the application of asset/liability management policies.
Floating rate assets and liabilities are immediately sensitive to a change in interest rates while other assets are sensitive to
changing interest rates periodically, either as they mature or as contractual repricing events occur. Non‐interest rate
sensitive assets and liabilities are not directly affected by changes in interest rates.
The Company manages interest rate risk by matching the terms of corporate assets and term deposits. To the extent that
the two components offset each other, the risks associated with interest rate changes are reduced. The Asset and Liability
Management Committee (“ALCO”) reviews the Company's interest rate exposure on a monthly basis using interest rate
spread and gap analysis as well as interest rate sensitivity analysis based on various scenarios. This information is also
formally reviewed by the Risk Committee of the Board each quarter.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company by interest rate sensitivity. Yield spread represents
the difference between the weighted average interest rate of the assets and liabilities in a certain category.

Certain residential construction loans and single family uninsured completed inventory loans are subject to the greater of
a minimum interest rate (ranging between 3.75% and 16%) or a prime based interest rate. To the extent that the minimum
rate exceeds the prime based rate as at December 31, 2015, these mortgages have been reflected in the table above as
fixed rate mortgages, as follows: within 3 months ‐ $33,005 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $5,401), 3 months to 1 year ‐ $75,877
(December 31, 2014 ‐ $11,179) and 1 to 5 years ‐ $85,065 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $6,700).
An immediate and sustained 1% increase to market interest rates as at December 31, 2015 would have an estimated
positive effect of $1,508 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $3,148) to net income over the following twelve month period. An immediate
and sustained 1% decrease to market interest rates as at December 31, 2015 would have an estimated adverse effect of
$720 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $2,995) to net income over the following twelve month period. An immediate and sustained
1% increase (decrease) to market interest rates as at December 31, 2015 would have an estimated adverse (positive) effect
of $27 (December 31, 2014 ‐ $65) on accumulated other comprehensive income.
When calculating the effect of an immediate and sustained 1% change in market interest rates on net investment income,
the Company determines which assets and liabilities reprice over the following twelve months and applies a 1% change to
their respective yields at the time of repricing to determine the change in net investment income for the duration of the
twelve month period.
34. Capital Management
The Company's primary capital management objectives are to maintain sufficient capital for regulatory purposes and to
earn acceptable and sustainable risk‐weighted returns for shareholders. Through its risk management and corporate
governance framework, the Company assesses current and projected economic, housing market, interest rate and credit
conditions to determine appropriate levels of capital. The Company typically pays out all of its taxable income by way of
dividends. Capital growth is achieved through retained earnings, public share offerings, rights offerings and the DRIP. The
Company's capital management is driven by the guidelines set out by the Tax Act and OSFI.
Income Tax Capital
As a MIC under the Tax Act, the Company is limited to an income tax liabilities to capital ratio of 5:1 (or an income tax assets
to capital ratio of 6:1), based on the non‐consolidated balance sheet in the MIC entity measured at its tax value.
Securitization assets and liabilities (less accrued interest) are both excluded from income tax assets, liability and capital to
the extent that they are held in the MIC entity.
The Company manages its income tax assets to a level of 5.75 times income tax capital on a non‐consolidated tax basis to
provide a prudent cushion between its limit and total actual assets. The Company manages its capital to comply with the
requirements of the MIC test and OSFI regulations at all times.

Securitization program assets and liabilities per balance sheet (less accrued interest) are excluded from income tax assets, liabilities and
capital to the extent that they are held in the MIC entity.
Regulatory Capital
As a Loan Company under the Trust Act, OSFI oversees the adequacy of the Company’s capital. For this purpose, OSFI has
imposed minimum capital to risk‐weighted asset ratios and a minimum leverage ratio which is calculated on a different
basis from the aforementioned MIC leverage ratio.
In order to promote a more resilient banking sector and strengthen global capital standards, the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision (“BCBS”) has issued a revised capital framework, referred to as Basel III. Further details on Basel III are
available in the Capital Management section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) or on the Company’s
website at www.mcanmortgage.com.

The deduction for the equity investment in MCAP is equal to the amount of the investment in excess of 10% of the Company’s shareholders’
equity on an all‐in basis. In 2015, the deduction on the transitional basis is equal to 40% of the all‐in adjustment (2014 ‐ 20%).
2
The leverage ratio replaced the assets to capital multiple as of January 1, 2015 such that the leverage ratio is n/a for 2014 and the assets
to capital multiple is n/a for 2015. The leverage ratio is based on all‐in Tier 1 Capital while the assets to capital multiple was based on
transitional Total 1 Capital. The leverage ratio refers to its denominator as “Total Exposures”, while the assets to capital multiple referred
to its numerator as “Regulatory Assets”.
3
Not applicable for the assets to capital multiple as at December 31, 2014. Commitments are included in total exposures at a 50% conversion
factor.
4
Letters of credit are included in total exposures at a 50% conversion factor in the calculation of the leverage ratio, but were included at
100% in the calculation of the assets to capital multiple.
5
Certain items, such as negative cash balances, are excluded from total exposures but included in consolidated assets.
As at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the capital guidelines issued by
OSFI under Basel III.

In calculating risk‐weighted assets on the "all‐in" basis, the capital deduction related to the investment in MCAP is risk weighted at 0%,
while the component not deducted from capital is risk‐weighted at 100%. In calculating risk‐weighted assets on the transitional basis,
the difference between the all‐in deduction and the transitional deduction is risk‐weighted at 200%.
The risk‐weighting of all on‐balance sheet assets (except derivative financial instruments) and all off‐balance sheet assets
is based on a prescribed percentage of the underlying asset position, in addition to adjustments for other items such as
impaired mortgages and unrated securitization investments. The derivative financial instrument credit equivalent amount
consists of the fair value of the derivative and an amount representing the potential future credit exposure. Risk‐weighted
assets also include an operational risk charge, which is based on certain components of the Company’s net investment
income over the past 12 quarters.

35. Financial Instruments
The majority of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet consists of financial instruments, and the majority of net income
is derived from the related income, expenses, gains and losses. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents,
short‐term investments, marketable securities, mortgages, financial investments, other loans, financial liabilities from
securitization, term deposits, loans payable and derivative financial instruments.
All financial instruments that are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value (marketable securities, certain
financial investments and derivative financial instruments) or for which fair value is disclosed are estimated using valuation
techniques based on observable market data such as market interest rates currently charged for similar financial
investments to expected maturity dates.
The following table summarizes financial assets reported at fair value and financial assets and liabilities for which fair values
are disclosed. Financial assets and liabilities are classified into three levels, as follows: quoted prices in an active market
(Level 1), fair value based on observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2) and fair value based on inputs that are
not based on observable data (Level 3).

Fair value of investment is based on the underlying real estate properties determined by the discount cash flow method and direct
capitalization method. The significant unobservable inputs are the capitalization rate and discount rate.
2
Fair value is based on returns earned by the fund in excess of its base rate.
3
Corporate and securitized fixed rate mortgages are calculated based on discounting the expected future cash flows of the mortgages,
adjusting for credit risk and prepayment assumptions at current market rates for offered mortgages based on term, contractual maturities
and product type. For variable rate mortgages, fair value is assumed to equal their carrying amount since there are no fixed spreads. The
Company classifies its mortgages as level 3 given the fact that although many of the inputs to the valuation models used are observable,
the mortgages are not specifically quoted in an open market.
4
Fair value is assumed to be the carrying value as underlying mortgages and loans are variable rate.
5
The carrying value of the asset/liability approximates fair value.
6
As term deposits are non‐transferable by the deposit holders, there is no observable market. As such, the fair value of the deposits is
determined by discounting expected future cash flows of the deposits at current offered rates for deposits with similar terms.
7
Fair value of financial liabilities from securitization is determined using current market rates for MBS.
