Dream Hard Asset Alternatives Trust 2019 Second Quarter | 2
1.4 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW - SECOND QUARTER 2019
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust reported net income of $8.8 million compared with $0.1 million in the sameperiod in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by income contributions from its equity investment in AxisCondominiums, which commenced occupancy in the second quarter of 2019. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trustgenerated net income of $9.6 million, an increase of $3.7 million from the prior period due to earnings from the above notedinvestment, partially offset by fair value gains on marketable securities which were earned in the comparative period.
UPDATES ON STRATEGIC PLAN TO ENHANCE UNITHOLDER VALUEThe Trust’s strategic plan, which was announced in early 2019, included the continued recycling of capital from the dispositionof select non-core assets into the Trust’s real estate developments, as well as a commitment to repurchase up to $100 million ofunits in three separate tranches in 2019 and 2020. Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Trust announced itsintention to commence a substantial issuer bid ("SIB") pursuant to which the Trust will offer to purchase up to 4 million of itsoutstanding units at a purchase price of $8.00 per unit. The offer will expire on August 29, 2019 unless terminated or extendedby the Trust. The Trust intends to fund this first offer with a combination of cash on hand and its existing credit facility. As at June30, 2019, the Trust had a cash balance of $32.3 million and funds available under its revolving credit facility of $35.3 million.Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the revolving credit facility was renewed, and the maturity date was extended to July 31, 2021.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust invested $8.8 million and $17.3 million including transactioncosts, respectively, into various development projects. Notable highlights for the Trust’s development investments are detailedbelow.

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, Zibi, a 34-acre waterfront development along the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebecand Ottawa, Ontario, announced the project’s first commercial lease with the Federal Government of Canada. The 15-year leaseis for approximately 155,000 square feet (''sf'') of office space located in the heart of the site, with unparalleled views to ParliamentHill. In addition to this building, there is over 450,000 sf of retail and commercial space in various planning/development stages.From a residential perspective, Zibi’s second condominium building is nearing completion with expected occupancies in early2020. Zibi also recently announced an innovative partnership with Common, a co-living residential company, to manage one ofthe project’s first rental buildings on the site. Along with the first phase of servicing for both the Ontario and Quebec lands, whichis progressing steadily, the site is transforming into an exceptional community in the heart of the National Capital Region. TheTrust has invested $43.2 million in Zibi to date, for an equity ownership of 40%.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust reached an important financing milestone on the first block of its purpose-built rental community in Toronto’s West Don Lands neighbourhood (''West Don Lands''). Through CMHC’s Rental ConstructionFinancing initiative, the Federal Government announced the funding of $357 million (at 100%) for the first block slated fordevelopment ("Block 8"), which will comprise over 750 rental units including 30% affordable units. Construction is expected tocommence on Block 8 in the fall of 2019. The Trust has a 25% interest in the West Don Lands development, alongside Dream,Kilmer Van Nostrand Co. Limited and Tricon Capital Group as the residual partners.
During and subsequent to the second quarter of 2019, the Hard Rock/Virgin Hotels Las Vegas ("Hard Rock") investment enteredinto various partnerships with best-in-class operators. The Hard Rock signed an agreement with AEG Presents (''AEG''), anAmerican worldwide sporting and music presenter, to manage The Joint, its 4,000-seat showroom that can host classic andmodern rock bands as well as other types of events. AEG will manage, operate and book the venue beginning in the fall of 2020at which time the property will open as the re-conceptualized and revitalized Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Additionally, during thesecond quarter of 2019, the Hard Rock entered into a lease agreement with a leading operator to manage its casino operations.This agreement is considered to be a significant milestone as it eliminates exposure to the underlying gaming operations providingthe hotel with a contractual triple net rental cash flow stream and allowing for a greater focus on driving value creation throughthe hospitality and Food & Beverage segments at the property. The Hard Rock continues to operate as an income producingproperty with the commencement of its revitalization slated for February 2020. As at June 30, 2019, the Trust's investment atthe Hard Rock had a fair value of $38.4 million for its 10% ownership interest which included an unrealized foreign currency lossof $0.8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and a cumulative unrealized foreign currency gain of $0.4 million sincethe inception of the investment.
Subsequent to June 30, 2019, an agreement was reached with the City of Mississauga to facilitate the advancement of municipalapprovals for our newly named Brightwater development (formerly referred to as “Port Credit”), which is a significant milestonefor the project. The partnership has collaborated extensively with the City, residents and community to reach this importantapproval stage. Brightwater is a 72-acre waterfront development which will encompass nearly 3,000 residential units and 400,000sf of commercial space upon completion. To date, remediation on the site has commenced and pending final approvals inSeptember, we anticipate construction to commence in 2020. The Trust, together with Dream, has a 31% investment in thedevelopment, with the remainder owned by Kilmer Van Nostrand Co. Limited, DiamondCorp, and FRAM + Slokker.
The Trust’s equity investment in Axis Condominiums generated net income of $10.3 million during the three months ended June30, 2019. This equity investment is a 572-unit project located at Church and Carlton Street in downtown Toronto.
RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS
DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT HOLDINGS For the three months ended June 30, 2019, development and investment holdings generated net income of $6.5 million comparedwith a net loss of $4.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase relative to prior year was due to the aforementionedearnings from equity accounted investments.
LENDING PORTFOLIOFor the three months ended June 30, 2019, the lending portfolio generated net income of $3.7 million compared with $4.1 millionin the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to a lower average loan balance in the current period. As at June 30,2019, the lending portfolio consisted of 9 loans aggregating to a total outstanding balance of $145.3 million with a weightedaverage effective interest rate of 9.7%.
INCOME PROPERTIESFor the three months ended June 30, 2019, income properties generated net income of $1.6 million compared with $2.6 millionin the same period in the prior year. The variance was primarily attributed to $1.1 million of income recorded in the prior periodrelated to marketable securities, which were disposed at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - RENEWABLE POWERFor the three months ended June 30, 2019, the renewable power portfolio generated net income of $4.6 million, an increase of$3.1 million relative to the prior year. The variance was primarily due to a deferred income tax recovery balance of $2.1 millionrecorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with a deferred income tax expense of $0.5 million in thesame period in the prior year, as well as favourable weather conditions. The deferred income tax recovery balance was primarilyrelated to temporary differences and the change in tax rate as a result of the renewable power segment being classified asdiscontinued operations. As part of the strategic plan to dispose of the Trust’s renewable power portfolio, the Trust commencedformal marketing of the segment in the period. Results were presented as discontinued operations in the three and six monthsended June 30, 2019.
OTHER(1)
The Other segment recorded a net loss of $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with a net loss of$3.2 million in the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust recorded a deferredincome tax expense of $3.3 million compared with a deferred income tax recovery of $1.0 million in the same period in the prioryear. The deferred income tax expense in the current period primarily related to income and capital gains realized on the dispositionof certain development and investment holdings assets.
UNITHOLDERS' EQUITYAs at June 30, 2019, total unitholders' equity of $8.05 per unit increased slightly compared to $8.04 per unit as at March 31,2019. The increase in total unitholders' equity was primarily due to net income generated of $8.8 million during the three monthsended June 30,2019, partially offset by unrealized foreign currency loss of $0.8 million and distributions paid and payable of $7.2million to unitholders.
NET ASSET VALUE ("NAV")The NAV per unit was $8.55 at June 30, 2019, compared with total unitholders' equity of $8.05 per unit. The variance was dueto a market value adjustment of $35.7 million (March 31, 2019 - $47.4 million) which was a result of market value gains relatedto the Trust's equity accounted investments and renewable power portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, themarket value adjustment decreased by $11.7 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the Axis Condominiums projectrealizing income as it reached completion.
The Trust believes that incorporating a market value adjustment is a more useful measure to value development assets. Incalculating the market value adjustment, the Trust obtains independent third party appraisals at year end or as significantdevelopment milestones are achieved. As development projects progress toward completion and/or reflecting information fromrecent market transactions, we expect both unitholders equity and NAV to increase based on expected growth and cash flowsfrom these investments. The Trust relies on NAV per unit as a measure of value creation including the market value adjustmentson its equity accounted investments and renewable power projects. The closest IFRS measure to NAV per unit is unitholders'equity per unit. For further details regarding non-IFRS measures and a reconciliation, where applicable, to the condensedconsolidated financial statements, please refer to the Reconciliation of Net Asset Value to Total Unitholders' Equity in the FinancialOverview section of this MD&A.
CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIESCash generated from operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $9.3 million compared with $1.7 millionin the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash generated from operating activities was primarily due to a cash advanceof $10.6 million related to the project completion of the above noted equity accounted investment.

EQUITY ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTSThe Trust participates in various partnerships with other parties for the purpose of investing in residential and mixed-usedevelopment projects which are accounted for using the equity accounted investment method. As at June 30, 2019, the carryingvalue of these arrangements was $156.7 million (December 31, 2018 - $132.5 million).
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Axis Condominiums project was completed, which resulted in $10.3million of income recorded at the Trust's share and a cash advance of $10.6 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust, along with DAM, increased its interest in its retail shopping centre andresidential mixed-use development investment opportunity located at 100 Steeles Ave. West in Toronto, Ontario ("100 Steeles")to 50%. The Trust invested $2.2 million for an additional interest in the investment resulting in the Trust increasing its ownershipto 37.5% in 100 Steeles, with DAM owning the remaining 12.5%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust, along with DAM, acquired the remaining 50% of an existing equitypartnership formed for the development of a residential property located in downtown Toronto, Ontario. The Trust, along withDAM, invested $4.5 million for the additional 50% in the development investment resulting in the Trust owning a 75% interestand DAM owning the remaining 25%. The project is managed by DAM.
Development projects are key drivers of future growth for the Trust and are expected to generate attractive returns and futurecash flows as milestones are achieved. The Trust expects its development projects will provide attractive profits to the Trust upontheir respective completion dates and will contribute to increased value for unitholders over the longer term. The Trust generallytargets a pre-tax IRR of at least 15-20% on new equity investments in residential and mixed-use development projects.
EQUITY INVESTMENTS MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT INCLUDED IN NAV - METHODOLOGYAs part of its NAV calculation, a non-IFRS measure, the Trust recognized cumulative market value gains of $31.1 million relatedto equity accounted investments as at June 30, 2019 (March 31, 2019 - $41.2 million; December 31, 2018 - $39.9 million). Duringthe three months ended June 30, 2019, the market value adjustment related to development and investment holdings decreasedby $10.1 million from the prior quarter primarily due to the Axis Condominiums project realizing income as it reached completion.During and subsequent to the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust received a cash advance of $13.4 million. The marketvalue adjustment is considered an important element that the Trust has included in its NAV calculation to address the change inrisk profile taking into consideration various factors including the progression of each project toward completion and/or reflectinginformation from recent market transactions that indicate a change in the investment value. Under IFRS and in the Trust’scondensed consolidated financial statements these development investments are equity accounted, which are initially recognizedat cost and subsequently include the Trust's share of profit or loss. The Trust believes that incorporating a market value adjustmentis a more useful measure to value these development assets that would not ordinarily be captured within IFRS and the Trust'scondensed consolidated financial statements. In calculating the market value adjustment on the equity accounted developmentinvestments the Trust obtains independent third party appraisals annually or as significant development milestones are achieved.For those projects in active development or construction, the Trust uses the discounted cash flow methodology in determiningthe market value adjustment on a quarterly basis. The discounted cash flow model utilizes various assumptions including, butnot limited to: the risk and timing of expected cash flows, and the successful completion of the projects on time and on budget.Assuming consistent market conditions, the development projects are expected to continue to generate market value increasesas they continue to advance closer to their completion dates.

We continue to leverage our relationships and expertise to identify opportunities with attractive yields to balance the returnswithin the lending portfolio and our future expected capital requirements on our development projects. The Asset Manageractively manages the lending portfolio and may decide to renew and extend loans, including those with a maturity date of 12months from the balance sheet date, in the normal course of business.
Development loans have historically provided very attractive returns. We believe that we benefit from the Asset Manager'sposition as an active developer, such that our risk associated with originating development loans is reduced to a certain extent.As a result, the Trust's exposure to residential development and land loans located within the Vancouver area and the GTA hasincreased since inception. We believe that real estate lending continues to be valuable by providing a base return while alsosupporting the overall liquidity objectives of the Trust.

2.3 INCOME PROPERTIES
Revenue from income properties includes base rents, operating expenses and property tax recoveries, lease termination fees,parking income and ancillary income. Revenue recognition under a lease commences when the tenant has a right to use theleased asset. The total amount of contractual rent to be received from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis overthe term of the lease; a straight-line rent receivable is recorded for the difference between the rental revenue recognized andthe contractual amount received. Recoveries from tenants are recognized as revenues in the period that the corresponding costsare incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Other revenues are recorded as earned.
As at June 30, 2019, the Trust's total income properties comprise two office properties co-owned with Dream Office REIT (TSX:D.UN), three wholly owned properties and six industrial real estate properties co-owned with Dream Industrial REIT (TSX: DIR.UN).

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust recorded a fair value gain of $0.3 million to its income properties relatedto changes in leasing assumptions, compared with $2.2 million of fair value losses recorded in the same period in the prior year.Income properties, excluding assets held for sale (''AHFS'') and certain properties where binding bids are received, are measuredat fair value using the income approach, which is derived from the overall capitalization rate method or discounted cash flowmethod. The Trust determines the fair value of income properties classified as AHFS by considering the current contracted saleprices, as management has committed to a plan of sale of the underlying properties and the sale of the properties is consideredhighly probable. The fair values of income properties at June 30, 2019 were determined by using capitalization rates ("cap rates")of 4.3% to 7.5% (December 31, 2018 – 4.3% to 7.5%), resulting in a weighted average cap rate of 5.9% (December 31, 2018 –5.9%) and discount rates of 5.8% to 8.8% (December 31, 2018 – 5.8% to 8.8%).

2.4 RENEWABLE POWER - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Our renewable power segment includes a solar rooftop portfolio, a solar ground-mount portfolio and two wind power portfolios.All projects within these portfolios have an initial 20-year term with government or regulated utility power purchase agreements("PPA"), allowing the sale of generated electricity at a fixed contract rate above the market rate, resulting in stable and predictablerates for all electricity generated. The operating results of the renewable power segment are subject to seasonal variations. Windproduction typically is best in the winter months while solar production tends to generate higher output in the summer months.Weather and seasonal related quarter to quarter fluctuations may occur from time to time although the annual level of incomeis stable in nature. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust publicly announced the decision to dispose of itsrenewable power operating segment, which is expected to be completed within a year from the reporting date. As at June 30,2019, the assets and liabilities of the renewable power segment were classified as assets held for sale and its operations werepresented as discontinued operations.
A summary of the renewable power - discontinued operations results is as follows:
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,2019 2018 2019 2018

(1) Installed capacity (MW) is the maximum amount of electrical power in megawatts that the renewable power projects held by the Trust are capable of generating.(2) Prorated based on the Trust's ownership percentage or economic interest.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, net income from discontinued operations of $4.6 million and $5.1 million,respectively, increased compared to $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in the same periods in the prior year. The variancewas primarily due to a deferred income tax recovery balance of $2.1 million recorded during the three months ended June 30,2019 compared to a deferred income tax expense of $0.5 million in the same period in the prior year. The deferred income taxrecovery balance was primarily related to temporary differences and the change in tax rate as a result of the renewable powersegment being classified as discontinued operations. As part of the strategic plan to dispose of the Trust’s renewable powerportfolio, the Trust commenced formal marketing of the segment in the period. Results were presented as discontinued operationsin the three months ended June 30, 2019. Upon classification as a discontinued operation, the Trust ceased to recognizedepreciation on the renewable segment’s non-current assets.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Trust applied IFRS 16 "Leases" ("IFRS 16"), a single accounting model for most leases that requiresa lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Trust recognized a right-of-use asset in the amount of $12.0 million with a corresponding lease liability related to various land and rooftop leases in thecondensed consolidated statement of financial position as at January 1, 2019. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over theshorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. As noted above, as a result of its presentation asdiscontinued operations there is no further depreciation recorded related to these non-current assets.
RENEWABLE POWER MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT INCLUDED IN NAV - METHODOLOGYThe Trust records its renewable power wind and solar assets at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges, ifany, within its condensed consolidated financial statements. In determining NAV, a non-IFRS measure, the Trust reflects a marketvalue adjustment, which takes into consideration any reduction in the risk profile of the renewable power projects developed bythe Trust once they become operational and long-term financing is arranged. The market value adjustment also reflects recentmarket information that would indicate a change in the renewable power portfolio market value (subject to appraisals). The Trustbelieves that incorporating a market value adjustment is a more useful measure to value the renewable power portfolio thatwould not ordinarily be captured within IFRS and the Trust's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Trust intends to obtain independent third party appraisals annually or as significant events impacting the renewable portfoliohave occurred or been achieved. Internal revaluations are made on a quarterly basis to reflect up to date inputs and the remainingPPA term. The market value for each operational renewable power project is determined using a discounted cash flow model.The model incorporates assumptions, which include future cash flows from in-place PPAs, estimates of anticipated long-termaverage electricity generation, and estimated operating and capital expenditures.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, a market value loss of $0.1 million was recognized on the renewable powerportfolio NAV. The market loss was due to the amortization of the renewable portfolio, stemming from the market value gainthat is amortized over the term of the PPA. As at June 30, 2019, the Trust recorded a total cumulative $10.3 million market valuegain to the renewable power portfolio (March 31, 2019 - $10.4 million; December 31, 2018 - $10.5 million). The cumulativemarket value gain, as at June 30, 2019, was primarily attributable to yield compression.

TOTAL INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONSTotal income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of $15.7 million and $24.5 million, respectively, increased by$10.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively, when compared with the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarilyattributable to the commencement of occupancy at Axis Condominiums with the Trust recording its share of income of $10.3million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, with no similar income recorded in the comparative periods.
TOTAL EXPENSES During the three months ended June 30, 2019, total expenses of $8.5 million remained relatively consistent compared with thesame period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, total expenses of $17.3 million increased by $0.8million compared with the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to deferred compensation expense of$1.2 million as a result of a 23% increase in the Trust unit price period over period, an increase of $0.5 million compared to thesame period in the prior year.
FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS TO INCOME PROPERTIESDuring the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust recorded $0.3 million in fair value gains related to changes inleasing assumptions compared with net fair value losses of $0.1 million and $2.2 million recorded in the same periods in the prioryear.
FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT TO MARKETABLE SECURITIESDuring the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust did not record any fair value adjustments in marketable securitiescompared with gains of $0.6 million and $3.4 million in the same periods in the prior year, respectively, as all marketable securitieswere disposed at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

TRANSACTION COSTSTransaction costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, were $0.4 million compared with $0.1 million in thesame periods in the prior year. The year over year variance was mainly due to non-recurring transactions costs incurred in thecurrent period.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE (RECOVERY)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense was $3.3 million and $3.7 million compared to an incometax recovery of $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the same periods in the prior year as a result of an increase in deferred taxexpenses. The higher deferred income tax expense primarily related to income and capital gains realized on the disposition ofcertain development and investment holding assets.
Due to the Trust’s diversified asset mix and active asset management strategy, we expect some degree of variability in currentand deferred income tax expense recognized each quarter through the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensiveincome (loss) resulting in an income tax expense (recovery) position. The Trust intends to actively manage the portfolio in a taxefficient manner.
We are subject to income taxes both federally and provincially in Canada, the U.K., and the United States. Significant judgmentsand estimates are required in the determination of the Trust's tax balances. Our income tax expense/recovery and deferred taxliabilities/assets reflect management's best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid/recovered. The Trust is subject to taxaudits from various government and regulatory agencies on an ongoing basis. As a result, from time to time, taxing authoritiesmay disagree with the interpretation and application of tax laws taken by the Trust in its tax filings.
TAX ATTRIBUTES INCOME PROPERTIESWe deduct mortgage interest and available tax depreciation on our buildings from our Canadian income properties that generatetaxable net operating income. These deductions contribute to the overall tax efficiency of our structure and, in particular, thetax depreciation helps provide the Trust with tax-sheltered cash flow. Any change in the fair value of income properties is notrecognized in the determination of current taxes until the sale of the asset.
RENEWABLE POWERThe Income Tax Act (Canada) makes available "green" energy tax incentives to the renewable energy sector. Certain pre-development and soft costs that are not normally deductible, known as Canadian renewable and conservation expenses ("CRCE"),are deductible against other sources of income in the year they are incurred. Non-CRCE project costs that are not otherwisecurrently deductible are included in the cost of the depreciable property and are eligible for maximum tax depreciation ratesbetween 30% and 50%, which can be used to help offset income for approximately eight to 12 years once the project becomesoperational.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSDuring the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust recorded other comprehensive loss from discontinued operations of$0.8 million which was consistent with the prior period due to comparable foreign exchange rates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, other comprehensive loss from discontinued operations of $0.8 million comparedwith a gain of $0.4 million in the same period in the prior year. The variance was largely due to the fluctuation in the British poundrelative to the Canadian dollar period over period.

3. DISTRIBUTION MEASURES
In any given period, the Trust anticipates that actual distributions paid and payable may differ from cash generated from operatingactivities. This difference is driven by a number of factors including the impact of leasing incentives and initial direct leasing costswhich can fluctuate with lease maturities, renewal terms and the type of asset being leased; changes in non-cash working capital;cash flow from certain development holdings; and the longer term nature and investment return profile of development holdings.Because of this variability, the Trust evaluates its distribution policy considering these factors, among others.
As we continue to implement our longer term strategy, which includes expanding the development and investment holdingssegment of our portfolio, the Trust expects that for the foreseeable future, cash generated from operating activities will fluctuatefrom period to period and may differ from distributions paid and payable in a single reporting period. Because of the long termnature of the projects in the development and investment holdings segment, cash generated from operating activities from thissegment generally does not occur until later in the operating life cycle of the development holdings. However, these cash flowsare relevant in the determination of distributions, as cash flows relating to the project will ultimately be fully received at projectcompletion. The Trust considers these factors in evaluating its distribution policy as well as its assessment of cash generated fromoperating activities over the longer term.
As required by National Policy 41-201, "Income Trusts and Other Indirect Offerings", the following tables outline the differencesbetween cash generated from operating activities and, distributions paid and payable in accordance with the guidelines:
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,2019 2018 2019 2018
Cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities $ 9,331 $ 1,681 $ 14,225 $ 5,230Distributions paid and payable 7,203 7,319 14,528 14,628Excess (shortfall) of cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities overdistributions paid and payable 2,128 (5,638) (303) (9,398)
On February 20, 2019, the Trust announced the suspension of its Distribution Reinvestment and Unit Purchase Plan ("DRIP") untilfurther notice effective from the February 2019 distribution. Our DRIP entitled unitholders to reinvest all cash distributions intoadditional units. Of the distributions paid and payable, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $nil and $1.8 million(three and six months ended June 30, 2018 - $2.3 million and $4.2 million), respectively, was reinvested into the DRIP.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, cash generated from operating activities exceeded distributions paid and payable by$2.1 million (three months ended June 30, 2018 shortfall of – $5.6 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2019, distributionspaid and payable exceeded cash generated from operating activities by $0.3 million (six months ended June 30, 2018 – $9.4million).
The following table summarizes net income (loss) and total distributions paid and payable for the periods indicated:
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,2019 2018 2019 2018
Net Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 4,246 $ (1,354) $ 4,420 $ 3,730Distributions paid and payable 7,203 7,319 14,528 14,628
Excess (shortfall) of net income (loss) from continuing operations overdistributions paid and payable (2,957) (8,673) $ (10,108) $ (10,898)
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust's distributions paid and payable were in excess of net income from continuingoperations by $3.0 million (three months ended June 30, 2018 – $8.7 million).
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust's distributions paid and payable exceeded the Trust’s net income from continuingoperations by $10.1 million (six months ended June 30, 2018 – $10.9 million).
Certain assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Unrealized fair valueadjustments and other non-cash items are included in net income (loss) and can fluctuate from period to period. As a result, theTrust anticipates that distributions declared will, in the foreseeable future, continue to vary from net income (loss). The totalunrealized fair value adjustments and other non-cash items included in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated financialstatements for the periods indicated are summarized in the following table:

The Trust funds its working capital needs and investment in lease incentives and initial direct leasing costs with cash on hand andits existing revolving credit facility. As at June 30, 2019, the Trust had cash on hand of $32.3 million and $35.3 million of undrawncredit capacity on its revolving credit facility. To the extent that there are shortfalls in cash flows relative to distributions paid andpayable, the Trust may use the existing revolving credit facility as a source of funding. The use of the Trust’s revolving credit facilitymay involve risks as compared to using cash on hand as a source of funding, such as the risk that interest rates may rise in thefuture, which may make it more expensive for the Trust to borrow under its revolving credit facility, and the risk associated withincreasing the overall indebtedness of the Trust. The Trust will review its distribution policy over time as the Trust executes onthe strategic plan to increase NAV, including the sale of yield assets and our focus on longer-term development assets, to ensurethe distribution policy is reflective of the Trust’s business and asset profile. Accordingly, distributions are considered an economicreturn of capital until cash distributions from completed development projects are received in future years. The Asset Managerreviews the estimated annual distributable cash flow with the Board of Trustees to assist the Board in determining the targeteddistribution amount, taking into consideration the duration of the current assets within the Trust's portfolio and the futureinvestment strategy.
In the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust announced that until December 31, 2020 the management fees payable toDAM pursuant to the asset management agreement ("Management Agreement") will be satisfied in Trust units. The Trust unitswill be valued at a NAV per Unit of $8.74, the NAV as at December 31, 2018, for purposes of determining the number of units tobe issued. DAM agreed to accept units in satisfaction of the management fees in order to increase its ownership stake in theTrust and to preserve the business’s cash to support the cash distributions by the Trust while the Trust executes on its strategicplan.

SUMMARY OF DEBT
As at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total debt comprise the following:

Mortgages payable $ 122,138 $ 122,684Term loans — 75,970Total contractual debt payable $ 122,138 $ 198,654Unamortized balance of deferred financing costs (360) (3,162)Total debt $ 121,778 $ 195,492
As at June 30, 2019, total debt decreased by $73.7 million from $195.5 million as at December 31, 2018 as a result of the termloans related to discontinued operations reclassified to liabilities related to assets held for sale.
We use the following cash flow performance and debt level indicators to assess our ability to meet or refinance our debt obligations:
As atJune 30,
2019December 31,
2018
Weighted average effective interest rate (period-end)⁽¹⁾ 3.7% 3.8%Weighted average face rate of interest (period-end) 3.7% 3.8%Debt due within one year $ 29,858 $ 32,646Interest coverage ratio⁽²⁾ (times) 3.98 3.07Debt-to-gross asset value(2) 18.1% 24.4%Debt – average term to maturity (years) 2.16 8.06
(1) Weighted average effective interest rate is calculated as the weighted average face rate of interest, net of financing costs of interest bearing debt, weighted by the sizeof the respective interest bearing debt instruments in the portfolio.
(2) For the Trust's definition of the non-IFRS measure of interest coverage ratio and debt-to-gross asset value and gross asset value, please refer to the Non-IFRSMeasures and Other Disclosures section of this MD&A.
The Trust expects to refinance the debt due within one year, if any, in the normal course as the underlying mortgages and thecredit facility mature.
The debt-to-gross asset value as at June 30, 2019 was 18.1%, lower than 24.4% at December 31, 2018 as a result of the termloans related to the discontinued operations being reclassified to liabilities related to assets held for sale. Management believesthis is a conservative position.

FINANCIAL COVENANTSThe revolving credit facility, the financial guarantees, certain mortgages on income properties and the renewable power termdebt contain financial covenants that require the Trust and/or its subsidiaries to meet certain financial ratios and financial conditiontests. A failure to meet these tests could result in default and, if not cured or waived, could result in an acceleration of therepayment in the underlying financing.
The following are financial covenants required to be met by Dream Alternatives Master LP ("DAM LP"), a wholly owned subsidiaryof the Trust, under the terms of the revolving credit facility, as at June 30, 2019:
Financial Covenant Financial Covenant RequirementUnitholders' Equity ≥ $500,000

6. NON-IFRS MEASURES AND OTHER DISCLOSURESWe have presented certain non-IFRS measures because we believe these non-IFRS measures are important in evaluating theTrust's underlying operating performance, debt management and our ability to earn and pay cash distributions to unitholders.These non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable with similar measurespresented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned not to view non-IFRS measures as alternatives to financial measures calculatedin accordance with IFRS.
"Cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities per unit" represents cash generated from (utilized in) operating activitiesof the Trust divided by the number of units outstanding at the end of the period.
"Debt-to-gross asset value" represents the total contractual debt payable for the Trust or operating segment divided by grossasset value, excluding assets held for sale, of the Trust or operating segment as at the applicable reporting date. This non-IFRSmeasure is an important measure in evaluating the amount of debt leverage; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have astandardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A calculation of debt-to-gross asset value can be found in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section of this MD&A under the heading "Summary of Debt".
"Gross asset value" is total assets per the condensed consolidated financial statements less assets held for sale. This non-IFRSmeasure is an important measure as it includes total assets on a basis consistent with that of total contractual debt payable,which also excludes debt related to assets held for sale when calculating debt-to-gross asset value; however, it is not defined byIFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.
"Interest coverage ratio" is a non-IFRS measure the Trust believes to be an important measure in determining our ability to coverinterest expense based on our operating performance; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaningand may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. Interest coverage ratio is calculated on a rollingfour fiscal quarter basis as net operating income less general and administrative expenses, all divided by interest expense excludingunamortized balance of mortgages payable premiums. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI can be found in this Non-IFRSMeasures and Other Disclosures section of this MD&A under the heading "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Net OperatingIncome". The table below calculates the interest coverage ratio for the periods indicated.

Net operating income, continuing and discontinued operations $ 51,827 $ 42,557General administration expenses (15,750) (15,036)Total $ 36,077 $ 27,521Interest expense incurred, at contractual rate 9,071 8,964Interest coverage ratio (times)⁽¹⁾ 3.98 3.07
(1)Calculated for the rolling four fiscal quarter basis as at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
"Internal rate of return ("IRR")" for residential development projects is calculated based on the estimated net pre-tax cash flowexpected to be generated from each project considering real estate development revenues, expenditures, construction time-lineand sale dates; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similarmeasures presented by other issuers. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating theperformance of its investments.
"Net assets attributable to unitholders of the Trust" refers to the net difference between total assets and total liabilities lessthe amount of assets and liabilities attributable to non-controlling interests. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure inevaluating the Trust’s and Asset Manager’s performance. It is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standard meaning and maynot be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.
"Market value" represents the carrying value as per the condensed consolidated statements of financial position adjusted forexternal appraisal values or a discounted cash flow methodology, incorporating expected future cash flows, discount rates, otherapplicable market information and the reduction in the risk profile of the renewable power projects and equity accountedinvestments as they are developed or achieve completion milestones by the Trust. The Trust believes that incorporating thisadjustment in determining the market value of the asset is a more useful measure to value the renewable power portfolio andequity investments that would not ordinarily be captured within IFRS and the Trust's condensed consolidated financial statements.This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s and Asset Manager’s performance asit is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning andmay not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Net asset value ("NAV") per unit" represents the net asset value attributable to unitholders of the Trust divided by the numberof units outstanding at the end of the period. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating theTrust’s performance as it is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have astandardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net assetvalue per unit can be found in the Financial Overview section of this MD&A under the heading "Reconciliation of Net Asset Valueto Total Unitholders' Equity".
"Net asset value ("NAV")", a non-IFRS measure, represents total unitholders' equity per the condensed consolidated financialstatements, adjusted for market value adjustments for both renewable power projects and equity accounted investments(including applicable deferred income tax adjustments) and the unamortized balance of the mortgages payable premiums. Amarket value adjustment for renewable power projects developed by the Trust is reflected once they become operational andlong term financing is arranged as well as reflecting recent market information that would indicate a change in the renewablepower portfolio market value (subject to appraisals). A market value adjustment for equity accounted investments is included toaddress the reduction in risk profile as each project progresses toward completion and/or reflect information from recent markettransactions that indicate a change in the equity investment market value (subject to appraisals). The mortgages payable premiumsrepresent the current unamortized balance of fair value adjustments recorded for these instruments at the Trust's listing date.Since the Trust intends to repay the mortgages at maturity, this historical fair value adjustment is removed for the calculation ofthe NAV. The Trust believes that incorporating a market value adjustment is a more useful measure to value both the renewablepower portfolio and equity accounted investments that would not ordinarily be captured within IFRS and the Trust's condensedconsolidated financial statements. The market value adjustments account for the applicable deferred income tax estimatesconsidering the timing of their realization and, if appropriate, will be incorporated into the determination of the NAV. Theapplicable deferred income tax estimates related to the market value adjustments is calculated either based on income or capitalgain rates or a combination thereof. The income tax rates used to determine NAV are dependent on various factors such asanticipated development plans, stage of development and, current market trends applicable to the future development plansand will be reviewed on a regular basis and is subject to change. Excluded from the NAV calculation are any market value adjustmentwith respect to liabilities as well as commitments/contracts that are not otherwise recorded as liabilities on the Trust's balancesheet. The Trust has not appraised the lending portfolio, as the Trust intends to hold the investments in the lending portfolio untilmaturity and its term to maturity is within one year, as such this portfolio is considered fairly liquid and fair value approximatesamortized cost.
This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s and Asset Manager’s performance asit is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning andmay not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. A reconciliation of net asset value can be found in theFinancial Overview section of this MD&A under the heading "Reconciliation of Net Asset Value to Total Unitholders' Equity".
"Net income (loss) per unit" represents net income (loss) of the Trust divided by the number of units outstanding at the end ofthe period.
"Net income (loss) per unit from continuing operations" represents net income (loss) from continuing operations of the Trustdivided by the number of units outstanding at the end of the period. The Trust excludes the renewable power segment from itscontinuing operations as it is classified as discontinued operations.
"Net operating income ("NOI")" is defined by the Trust as net income (loss) per the condensed consolidated financial statementsadjusted for: income tax expense (recovery), interest expense net of other interest income, depreciation and amortization,transaction costs, debt settlement costs, provision for lending portfolio losses, general and administrative expenses, fair valueadjustments to income properties, fair value adjustments to development and investment holdings, and fair value adjustmentsto marketable securities. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating operating performance;however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measurespresented by other issuers. Reconciliations of NOI to net income (loss) can be found in this Non-IFRS Measures and OtherDisclosures section of this MD&A under the heading "Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Net Operating Income".
"Total contractual debt payable" represents total debt per the condensed consolidated statements of financial position less notepayable, unamortized balance of mortgages payable premiums and unamortized balance of deferred financing costs. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used in the management of our debt levels as an indicator of principal amounts outstanding;however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measurespresented by other issuers.

9. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Dream Hard Asset Alternatives Trust 2019 Second Quarter | 29
9.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates andassumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience andother factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, theresult of which forms the basis of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptionsand estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the affected asset orliability in the future. Dream Alternatives’ critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions in applying accountingpolicies are described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
9.2 ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited, all dollar amounts are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars, except for unit, per unit, and Megawatt (MW) amounts, unless otherwise stated)
Dream Hard Asset Alternatives Trust 2019 Second Quarter | 39
1. ORGANIZATION
Dream Hard Asset Alternatives Trust ("Dream Alternatives" or the "Trust") is an open-ended trust established under the laws ofthe Province of Ontario by a Declaration of Trust dated April 28, 2014, amended and restated on July 8, 2014. The condensedconsolidated financial statements of Dream Alternatives include the accounts of Dream Alternatives and its consolidatedsubsidiaries. The Trust was formed by and is managed by Dream Asset Management Corporation ("DAM" or the "Asset Manager"),a wholly owned subsidiary of Dream Unlimited Corp. ("Dream"). On January 1, 2018, Dream acquired control of the Trust, basedon Dream's increased exposure to variable returns resulting from increased ownership through units held in the Trust and fromnew real estate joint venture agreements. Dream is the ultimate parent company of the Trust.
The Trust is focused on hard asset alternative investments comprising real estate development, real estate lending, and incomeproperties.
The Trust’s registered office is 30 Adelaide Street East, Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 3H1. The Trust is listed on theToronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "DRA.UN". Dream Alternatives’ condensed consolidated financial statementsfor the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were authorized for issuance by the Board of Trustees on August 7, 2019.
For simplicity, throughout the notes, reference is made to the units of the Trust as follows:• "units" meaning Trust voting units, and• "unitholders" meaning holders of Trust voting units.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certaininformation and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordancewith International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been omitted or condensed. The condensed consolidated financialstatements should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December31, 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.
Certain prior period comparative results have been reclassified to conform to the current year's condensed consolidated financialstatement presentation.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES SELECTED AND APPLIED FOR SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same significant accounting policies andmethods as those used in the Trust’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as describedbelow:
LEASESLeases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is availablefor use by the Trust. At the commencement date, right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which comprises the initial amountof the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costsincurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site onwhich it is located, less any lease incentives received. Subsequent to the commencement date the right-of-use asset is measuredat cost less any accumulated depreciation. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and thelease term on a straight-line basis. The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease plus the period coveredby an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option as well as the periods covered by anoption to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. The Trust exercises judgment whenreviewing the lease terms particularly the options to extend or terminate the lease and whether reasonable certainty exists toexercise either option. In addition, the right-of-use asset is assessed for impairment and adjusted for certain remeasurement ofthe lease liability. The fair value model will be applied if the right-of-use asset meets the definition of an investment property.
![Page 42: DAT Q2-2019 MD&A - Dreambuilt rental community in Toronto’s West Don Lands neighbourhood (''West Don Lands''). Through CMHC’s Rental Construction Through CMHC’s Rental Construction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042403/5f149c0f968ac64d4f4847a2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the date at which the leased assetis available for use. Certain leases contain variable lease payments that are linked to an index resulting in an increase in the annuallease payments to capture inflation. Variable lease payments are initially measured using the index or rate as at thecommencement date of the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arisingfrom a change in an index or rate, or if there is a change on exercising a purchase, extension or termination option, if applicable.Upon remeasurement of the lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is reflected to the carrying amount of the right-of-useasset or is recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) if the carrying amount of the right-of-useasset has been reduced to zero. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannotbe determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Generally, the Trust uses its incremental borrowing rate as thediscount rate and risk adjusts it to consider various factors including the current economic environment, remaining term, andsecurity. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied as at the January 1, 2019, date of adoption of IFRS 16, is4.65%. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the consolidatedstatement of comprehensive income (loss) over the lease period.
The Trust presents the right-of-use assets in renewable power assets and the lease liability is presented in accounts payable andaccrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
The Trust has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low value. Thosepayments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis and are recordedin the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Short-term leases are identified as those with a leaseterm of less than one year. Low-value assets are those less than or equal to five thousand dollars.
NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSNon-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying value will be recovered principally through a saletransaction rather than through continuing use. The asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its presentcondition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups), the appropriate levelof management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group) with an active program to locate a buyer, andits sale must be highly probable within one year.
Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less coststo sell. Non-current assets and the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from otherassets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. Comparative information is not adjusted for the classification of assetsand liabilities held for sale in the latest period presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Assets held for sale that represent a component of an entity which are a separate major line of business or geographical area ofoperations, part of a single co-ordinate plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operationsor, is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale are presented as discontinued operations in the condensedconsolidated statement of comprehensive income. Comparative information has been re-presented to distinguish betweencontinuing and discontinued operations.
Classification of assets or a disposal group as held for sale and discontinued operations requires judgment on whether the salewill be highly probable, and whether the sale will be recovered through a sale rather than continuing use of the assets.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS IN APPLYINGACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates andassumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience andother factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, theresult of which forms the basis of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptionsand estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the affected asset orliability in the future. The critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions applied during the quarter are consistentwith those set out in Note 4 to the Trust's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,2018.

5. ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
CURRENT ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGESThe Trust has adopted the following revised standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective January 1, 2019.
LEASESIFRS 16, "Leases" ("IFRS 16"), sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of leases. IFRS 16 providesrevised guidance on identifying a lease and for separating lease and non-lease components of a contract.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Trust has applied IFRS 16, a single accounting model for most leases that requires a lessee torecognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases. Under IFRS 16, lessor accounting for operating and finance leases willremain substantially unchanged. The Trust performed an in-depth assessment of its various segments and contracts to identifylease arrangements impacted by IFRS 16. The Trust has elected to apply the modified retrospective approach with the cumulativeeffect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in accordance with transitional provisions.Therefore, the comparative information has not been restated and application of the standard will result in the calculation of thelease liability by discounting the remaining rental payments at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019, thedate of transition. As a result of its assessment, the Trust identified various land and rooftop leases within its renewable portfolioand the Trust recognized a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability for $12,036 in the condensed consolidatedstatement of financial position as at January 1, 2019.
Operating lease commitments disclosed as at December 31, 2018 $ 18,358Non-lease commitments disclosed as at December 31, 2018 1,051Total operating commitments disclosed as at December 31, 2018 $ 19,409Discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of the date of initial application (5,247)Less: short-term and low value leases recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense —Less: non-lease commitments (1,051)Less: adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension and termination options (1,075)Lease liability recognized as at January 1, 2019 $ 12,036
Of which are due in: 2019 $ 462 2020 475 2021 487 2022 502 2023 515 2024+ 9,595
$ 12,036
INCOME TAXESIFRIC 23, "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" ("IFRIC 23"), clarifies the application of the recognition and measurementrequirements in IAS 12, "Income Taxes" ("IAS 12"), for situations where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. IFRIC23 specifically addresses whether an entity considers income tax treatments separately; assumptions that an entity makesregarding the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities; how an entity determines taxable income or loss, tax bases,unused tax losses or credits, and tax rates; and how an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances. IFRIC 23 does notapply to taxes or levies outside the scope of IAS 12. This amendment did not have an impact on the Trust's condensed consolidatedfinancial statements.

The fair value methodologies applied have been consistent with the prior period. For development and investment holdingsrecently acquired, or where certain bids have been obtained, the fair value is based on the purchase or bid price. The fair valuemethodologies and material assumptions for each respective category, other than the above noted, are summarized in the tablebelow:
As atJune 30,
2019December 31,
2018
Method Unobservable inputs Range RangeDevelopment HoldingsResidential assets underdevelopment
Discount future anticipated proceeds from unit closings Discount rates 7.0% - 8.0% 7.0% - 8.0%
Investment HoldingsLimited Partnerships Calculate value by applying direct capitalization method to stabilized
NOI and where applicable discount back to the reporting dateCapitalization rates - 6.2% - 7.0%
Generally, an increase in anticipated proceeds from unit closings or an increase in stabilized NOI will result in an increase in fairvalues. An increase in the capitalization rates ("cap rate") or in the discount rates will result in a decrease in fair values.
If the discount rates applied for residential assets under development were to increase by 1%, the fair value of the residentialassets under development would decrease by $400. If the discount rate were to decrease by 1%, the fair value would increaseby $400.

Weighted average interest rate (period-end) 9.7% 9.6%Security allocation (1st mortgages/other) 71.3% / 28.7% 69.8% / 30.2%Maturity dates 2019 - 2025 2019 - 2025Balance of accrued interest $ 706 $ 241Loans with prepayment options 34,918 37,127
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, a loan investment classified as FVTPL, aggregating $17,468, was measured at fairvalue using a discounted cash flow method. The fair value was determined by discounting the expected cash flows of the loanusing an interest rate of 17.5% which took into consideration similar instruments with corresponding maturity dates plus a creditadjustment in accordance with the borrowers' creditworthiness, as well as the risk profile of the underlying security. Generally,under this method, a decrease in the market rate will result in an increase to the fair value and an increase in the market ratewill result in a decrease to the fair value. If the weighted average market rate were to increase by 25 bps, the fair value of theloan investments would decrease by $100. If the weighted average market rate were to decrease by 25 bps, the fair value wouldincrease by $100.

Change in fair value of income properties $ 261 $ (2,195)
As at June 30, 2019, the Trust’s income properties consisted of interests in office and industrial properties co-owned with DreamOffice Real Estate Investment Trust ("Dream Office REIT") and Dream Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust ("Dream IndustrialREIT"), respectively, which are accounted for as joint operations, and three wholly owned office properties.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Trust recorded a fair value gain of $261 on the condensed consolidatedstatement of comprehensive income (loss) on the Trust's income properties. Income properties, excluding AHFS and certainproperties where binding bids are received, are measured at fair value using the income approach, which is derived from theoverall capitalization rate method or discounted cash flow method. The Trust determines the fair value of income propertiesclassified as AHFS by considering the current contracted sale prices, as management has committed to a plan of sale of theunderlying properties and the sale of the properties is considered highly probable. The fair values of income properties weredetermined by using cap rates of 4.3% to 7.5% (December 31, 2018 – 4.3% to 7.5%), resulting in a weighted average cap rate of5.9% (December 31, 2018 – 5.9%) and discount rates of 5.8% to 8.8% (December 31, 2018 – 5.8% to 8.8%).
Generally, under the overall cap rate method, an increase in stabilized NOI will result in an increase to the fair value. An increasein the cap rate will result in a decrease to the fair value. The cap rate magnifies the effect of a change in stabilized NOI. If theweighted average cap rate were to increase by 25 bps, the fair value of income properties would decrease by $10,000. If theweighted average cap rate were to decrease by 25 bps, the fair value would increase by $10,000.
As at June 30, 2019, all of the income properties, with a fair value of $226,839 (December 31, 2018 – $224,310), were pledgedas security for mortgages.

These partnerships are eitherconsidered joint ventures or investments in associates. A joint venture is an arrangement entered into in the form of jointlycontrolled entities whereby the parties have joint control and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Investments inassociates are those in which the Trust has significant influence over the arrangement. As at June 30, 2019, the carrying value ofthese arrangements was $156,696 (December 31, 2018 - $132,528).

The Trust invested $2,524 for an additional interest in the investment resulting in the Trust increasing its ownership to37.5% in 100 Steeles, with DAM owning the remaining 12.5%. Given the ownership percentage and the ability to exercise significantinfluence pursuant to the partnership agreements, the Trust is considered to have significant influence over this investment, andaccordingly, the equity method of accounting continued to be applied.

When all significant inputs are observable, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require thesignificant use of unobservable inputs are considered Level 3. The Trust’s policy is to recognize transfers between fair valuehierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three months endedJune 30, 2019 no transfers were made between levels 1, 2 and 3. The following tables summarize fair value measurementsrecognized or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements by class of asset or liability and categorized by levelaccording to the significance of the inputs used in making the fair value measurements.
