QCC Quest Capital Corp.

Quest Capital Corp. ("Quest" or the "Company") (TSX: QC)(NYSE Amex: QCC), a Canadian Mortgage Investment Corporation ("MIC"), today reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, including continued progress in monetizing its loan portfolio and its plans to begin to repurchase its preferred shares.

"Quest's market-responsive strategies have started to pay off as we continued to monetize more loans in the quarter, we are achieving the financial flexibility we believe is paramount for our future," said A. Murray Sinclair, Quest Chairman. "The cash generation from our strategies has allowed us to cancel our revolving debt facility, initiate cash dividend payments to our preferred shareholders and begin to repurchase our preferred shares as part of an agreement we announced on September 30, 2009. These achievements are in line with our expectations and reflect the hard work we believe is necessary to combat challenging conditions in our markets."

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

- The Company's cash position increased to $10.7 million at September 30, 2009 from $3.1 million at June 30, 2009.

- $15 million of loans were monetized. This represents 8 loans repaid in full and 6 partial repayments. This does not include the successful remediation of a $27 million construction loan in Vancouver, British Columbia which should be monetized early to mid 2011.

- Debt-facility-and-preferred-share-liability to equity ratio was 0.14 to 1 at September 30, 2009 a significant improvement from the ratio of 0.27 to 1 a year earlier.

- Net interest income was $2.7 million compared to $11.7 million a year ago reflecting a reduction in performing loans upon which interest is recognized.

- The Company was unprofitable due to specific loan loss provisions of $8.1 million (5 cents per share) compared to $2.3 million in 2008. Net loss was $5.2 million (3 cents per share) compared to net income of $6.4 million (4 cents per share) a year earlier.

- Book value per share at September 30, 2009 was $1.90 compared to $1.98 at December 31, 2008.

CREDIT QUALITY

As anticipated, due to weak economic and credit market fundamentals during the first nine months of 2009, the Company had impaired loans of $168 million to 19 borrowers compared to $162 million (17 borrowers) at June 30, 2009 and $19 million (4 borrowers) at September 30, 2008. Remedial action has been taken on each impaired loan. On 14 of these loans totaling $141 million, specific reserves in the amount of $27 million have been provided. Management has not provided for the remaining loans because the estimated net realizable value of their collateral, at this time, is in excess of the carrying value.

DIVIDEND POLICY AND TAX LOSS CARRY FORWARDS

At September 30, 2009, there were $20 million of tax losses carried forward which may be utilized further in 2009 and future years to offset taxable income. Quest did not have taxable income in the third quarter of 2009 nor was the Company able to utilize its tax losses carried forward. Accordingly, the Company did not declare a quarterly common share dividend on September 30, 2009. Quest will not be paying a dividend on its common shares until it has utilized all of its tax losses and at this time, under the current economic circumstances, Quest cannot reasonably determine the timing, in the short term, of the utilization of its tax loss carry forwards.

OUTLOOK

"Canadian credit and real estate markets continue to show improvements," said Brian Bayley, Quest President and CEO. "However, many of our borrowers still remain challenged in finding take-out financing and as a result, risk of loan impairments remains. For that reason, in order to preserve the value of the portfolio, where borrowers are providing additional security, guarantees and/or principal reductions, Quest has and will extend the terms of its loans to allow borrowers to obtain take out financing or conduct an orderly sale of the properties. We're confident that this is the right formula for preserving capital and realizing shareholder value."

Jim Grosdanis, CFO added, "Where borrowers are unable or unwilling to provide additional security, Quest actively pursues the enforcement of its rights which will lead to loans classified as impaired. With the continuing monetization of its loan portfolio and the recent amendment of its preferred shares, Quest has a better ability to preserve value during negotiations and offers on several of its problem loans."
