TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Firm Capital American Realty Partners Corp. (the "Company"), (TSXV: FCA.U), (TSXV: FCA) is pleased to provide the following update regarding its 7.0% Convertible Unsecured Debenture (the "Debenture") and Single Family Homes Disposition Program:

OVER 90% OF CONVERTIBLE UNSECURED DEBENTURE HAS BEEN REPAID
Due to a combination of working capital and single family home sales as outlined below, the Company has repaid $5.4 million owing on the Debenture since the end of Q3/2018. As a result, the Company has repaid over 90% of the Debenture as the current balance stands at only $1.4 million.

FULLY EXITS NEW JERSEY SINGLE FAMILY HOME MARKET
The Company is pleased to announce that it has closed a sale on its only remaining single family home located in New Jersey for $0.2 million, in line with the Company's IFRS valuation as disclosed in the financial statements and MD&A for the period ended September 30, 2018. As a result, the Company has no more single family homes in its portfolio other than the ones as outlined below in Atlanta.

73% OF ATLANTA SINGLE FAMILY HOMES SOLD
As previously disclosed, the Company had listed for sale its remaining 120 single family homes located in Atlanta, Georgia. To date, the Company has sold or closed sales on 87 homes, or 73% of the total portfolio, for gross proceeds of $9.2 million ($8.5 million net of estimated closing costs). Of these sales, all but four have officially closed and those are expected to close during Q4/2018. The remaining unsold 33 single family homes, which have a current list price of $4.1 million ($3.8 million net of estimated closing costs) are anticipated to generate on closing, assuming that the current list price is achieved, net proceeds sufficient to fully repay the existing Debenture and provide the Company with additional working capital.
