"Terra Firma is now back on the path of growth with its assets under management increasing over Q1 2021. The originations from Q3 2020 are now starting to support the beginning of what should be a substantial expansion for the Company after a few quarters of a pause due to the COVID pandemic," commented Glenn Watchorn, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Firma Capital Corporation. "After successfully closing our first fund of $37.5MM in Q1 2021, we are now looking to raise a larger second fund to accommodate our capital needs for what is a growing pipeline of new transactions."
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenues decreased 10.0% to $3.6 million, compared to $4.0 million during the same period in 2020, primarily due to a decrease of interest and fee income by 16.7% to $2.8 million compared to $3.4 million in 2020. The decrease in interest fees earned of $1.5 million is attributable to loan and mortgage investments repaid after March 31, 2020. This was partially offset by interest and fees earned of $646,830 on new loan and mortgage investments funded subsequent to March 31, 2020, and an increase in interest and fees earned of $320,627 on loan and mortgage investments and convertible note receivable existed at March 31, 2020. Finance income in 2021 was $786,000, compared to $631,000 in the previous year, due to an increase in investment in finance leases.
Interest and financing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, decreased by 12.8% to $2.0 million, compared to $2.3 million in the same period last year.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $738,000 compared to $739,000 for the same period last year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a foreign exchange gain of $78,000 compared to a foreign exchange loss of 796,000 for the same period last year.
The net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $819,000 or $0.15 per basic and diluted share compared to $(126,000) or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.
The Company's Total Investments(1) at March 31, 2021, was $133.1 million, compared to $122.6 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of 8.6% or $10.6 million, resulting primarily from the increase in the investment in finance leases totaling $10.7 million.
The principal balance of the Company's loan and mortgage syndications decreased to $70.7 million at March 31, 2021, as compared to $71.4 million at December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of 1.0%.
