2015 THIRD QUARTER REPORT
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 1
DUNDEE CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Dundee Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Dundee Corporation”) is a public Canadian independent holding company, listed
on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “DC.A”. Through its operating subsidiaries, the Corporation is
engaged in diverse business activities in the areas of investment advisory, corporate finance, energy, resources, agriculture, real
estate and infrastructure. The Corporation also holds, directly and indirectly, a portfolio of investments mostly in these key areas,
as well as other select investments in both publicly listed and private enterprises.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared with an effective date of November 12, 2015
and provides an update on matters discussed in, and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s audited
consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements), together with the accompanying MD&A for the year then ended, and with
the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2015 (the “September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements”), all of which have
been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). All amounts in this MD&A are in Canadian
dollars unless otherwise specified. Tabular dollar amounts, unless otherwise specified, are in thousands of dollars, except
for per share or per unit amounts. This MD&A contains forward looking statements that are based on certain estimates
and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may vary materially from management’s
expectations. See the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” section later in this MD&A for further
information.
STRATEGY
In mid-2014, the Corporation announced its strategy to create value for its stakeholders through the establishment of a wealth
management business focused on the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth markets, supported by top quality investment
products, and managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers. In parallel with its wealth management vision, the
Corporation has moved to rationalize its merchant capital portfolio, focusing on those investments that the Corporation considers
core to its expertise and aligned to its objectives of sustainable growth and value for shareholders. It has done so while divesting
itself in an orderly and responsible manner of those assets that it no longer considers core to its business. The Corporation has
retained and recruited top management teams for its subsidiaries. Over the past 15 months, the Corporation has raised almost
$400 million from the sale of non-core portfolio assets. These initiatives have positioned the Corporation for a recovery in the
energy and resource sector, and the re-launch of its wealth management business.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Corporation is reporting a net loss attributable to shareholders during the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $235.9
million or a loss of $4.05 per share, compared with a net loss of $78.7 million or $1.44 per share incurred during the same period
of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, the net loss attributable to shareholders was $404.2 million or $7.03 per share,
compared with a net loss of $140.2 million or $2.68 per share incurred during the first nine months of the prior year. During the
current quarter, the Corporation wrote down the carrying value of its resource properties held through its investment in United
Hydrocarbon International Corp. by $215.2 million, reflecting its fair value in a market with severely depressed energy prices.
Lower energy and resource prices, and the impact of their decline on other segments of the economy, including real estate, are
clearly manifested in the Corporation’s reported results.
The market value of each of the Corporation’s investments in Dundee Precious Metals Inc. and DREAM Unlimited Corp. has
been significantly affected by these market conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the trading value per
share of the Corporation’s investment in DREAM Unlimited Corporation declined from $9.57 at December 31, 2014 to $7.03 at
September 30, 2015, resulting in a loss to the Corporation of $55.0 million. The Corporation’s investment in Dundee Precious
Metals Inc., which had previously been accounted for on an equity basis, caused a further loss of $134.2 million, and reflects a
trading value of $2.17 per share as at September 30, 2015.

These losses, combined with the write down of the Corporation’s investment in United Hydrocarbon International Corp., account
for almost 80% of the Corporation’s reported net loss before non-controlling interests during the first three quarters of 2015, and
90% of the loss reported in the third quarter itself.
While market conditions have eroded the value of the Corporation’s portfolio of investments, restructuring has continued within
the Corporation’s agricultural operating subsidiary, Blue Goose Capital Corp. Led by a new management team, Blue Goose
Capital Corp. reported a $7.6 million improvement in the net operating loss before income taxes. As well, and in order to
preserve capital, operations within United Hydrocarbon International Corp. have been reduced to approximately $1.5 million per
month, and ongoing efforts will seek to ensure the preservation of value of the property until such time as exploration can be
resumed. The Corporation continues to monitor its portfolio of securities, having recently participated in a plan of arrangement
that saw the acquisition by Oban Mining Corporation of three of the Corporation’s equity accounted investments; namely, Eagle
Hill Exploration Corporation, Corona Gold Corporation and Ryan Gold Corp. The plan of arrangement improved the liquidity of
the Corporation’s investment and increased the underlying trading value by $3.7 million.
Cash at the corporate level increased to $67.2 million at September 30, 2015, compared with $24.5 million at the end of the prior
year. In addition, the Corporation has repaid all amounts due pursuant to its exchangeable debentures, while maintaining its
current borrowing levels constant at approximately $93 million.
At the core of the Corporation’s vision is the creation of an asset management division through which it will build a profitable,
client-centric investment counsel/portfolio manager (“ICPM”) platform supported by world-class asset management and top
quality investment products designed to achieve superior long-term, risk adjusted returns. The ICPM strategy includes
developing integrated and diversified financial products and services focused on the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth
markets. The asset management platform plans to capture new opportunities in investment management through a full spectrum
of model portfolios spanning core investments, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and proprietary private equity funds and
structured products, managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers. During 2015, the Corporation launched two
alternative investment products: Dundee Acquisition Ltd., the first Canadian special purpose acquisition corporation launched in
Canada, which raised over $112.3 million in its initial public offering earlier in 2015; and, Dundee Sarea Acquisition I Limited
Partnership, a private equity fund with committed capital of $112.5 million designed to invest in companies requiring turn-around
expertise in North America and Europe.
Since announcing its strategic direction in mid-2014, the Corporation has continued the divestiture of non-core assets, raising
almost $400 million in cash, reducing debt levels, and funding the operations of those businesses that are considered core to its
growth. The Corporation believes that its realigned strategic direction and business strategies are building blocks to long-term
value creation for shareholders and enhanced share performance for its Class A subordinate voting shares.
DUNDEE CORPORATION’S CAPITAL ALLOCATED BY INDUSTRY SECTOR
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 3
UNDERSTANDING THE ALLOCATION OF DUNDEE CORPORATION’S CAPITAL
Certain of the Corporation’s investments trade in public markets, while other investments are in debt or equity securities of private companies. While the
Corporation has applied valuation methodologies to estimate the market value of its portfolio of non-publicly traded investments, these valuation methodologies
have not been applied to operating subsidiaries and equity accounted investments that are not publicly traded. For purposes of the above schedule, the
“market value” of the Corporation’s non-public operating subsidiaries and non-public equity accounted investments is equal to their underlying carrying
value.

Operating Subsidiaries
Operating subsidiaries are not recorded as individual investments in the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements. Instead, the accounts of the operating subsidiary
are consolidated with those of the Corporation on a line-by-line basis. For example, the 582,891$ 563,556$ 645,220$
revenue generated by an operating subsidiary is reported as revenue of the Corporation
in the consolidated statement of operations.
Equity Accounted Investments
Investments that are accounted for using the equity method are separately disclosed in the
Corporation's consolidated statement of financial position as "Equity accounted investments".
These investments are initially recorded at the Corporation's cost of acquisition. Subsequently, 170,248 170,285 265,878
the original cost is increased or decreased in proportion to the Corporation's share of earnings
or losses generated by the investee.
Investments
All other investments are designated as "Investments" in the Corporation's consolidated
statement of financial position. These investments may include investments in equity or
debt securities of public or private companies in a variety of sectors. These investments 479,802 479,802 653,696
are reported in the Corporation's consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair
value.
Corporate Account Balances
Corporate account balances represent balances of the Corporation's capital that are not
directly attributable to a particular investment. These balances include cash held by the
Corporation directly, offset by the Corporation's direct obligations, and obligations (95,285) (92,533) (229,739)

UPDATE ON BUSINESS STRATEGIES OF OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES
Operating Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2015
1. See note 34 “Segmented Information” to the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed analysis of the carrying value of
individual assets and liabilities attributed to each operating subsidiary.
2. See note 22 “Non-Controlling Interest” to the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the carrying value of non-
controlling interest in each subsidiary.
3. Includes “Dundee Securities Europe LLP”, “Dundee Securities Inc.”, and “Dundee Goodman Insurance Agency Ltd.”, all of which are sister companies to
Dundee Securities Ltd. “Dundee Capital Markets” and “Dundee Goodman Private Wealth” are divisions of Dundee Securities Ltd.
4. From time to time, the Corporation will advance monies to an operating subsidiary to fund working capital requirements. Amounts advanced between the
Corporation and its operating subsidiaries are eliminated in the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation. Accordingly, for
purposes of determining the estimated market value of operating subsidiaries that are publicly traded, the Corporation has included its proportionate interest in
advances to each operating subsidiary that is due to the Corporation from non-controlling shareholders of each operating subsidiary. Amounts due under these
arrangements to operating subsidiaries that are not publicly traded are already included in the determination of the net carrying value of these operating
subsidiaries.
A description of each subsidiary, the nature of its business activities, and a discussion of its principal operating strategies were
provided in the Corporation’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2014 under “Business Strategies of Operating
Subsidiaries”. The following discussion provides an update on operating strategies of the Corporation’s operating subsidiaries
since December 31, 2014.
Wealth Management
In the latter part of 2014, the Corporation established Dundee Global Investment Management Inc. (“DGIM”) through which it
expects to build an ICPM platform. The wealth management business of DGIM currently encompasses the activities of two of
the Corporation’s subsidiaries, Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Inc. (“GCIC”) and Dundee Securities Ltd.
Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Inc.
GCIC is a registered portfolio manager and exempt market dealer across Canada and an investment fund manager in the
provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland.
GCIC’s strategy is to acquire, develop and manage high quality assets and businesses that demonstrate an opportunity to achieve

private equity opportunities. GCIC currently manages the Corporation’s third party AUM, including its tax sheltered, closed end
and alternative investment products.
As at September 30, 2015, the Corporation held a 100% interest in GCIC. Additional information about GCIC may be accessed

Dundee Securities Ltd.
Dundee Securities Ltd. is a full service investment dealer across Canada, offering a range of wealth management services for
individual retail investors under the name “Dundee Goodman Private Wealth” and a comprehensive range of services for
institutional investors under the name “Dundee Capital Markets”. As an investment dealer in each of the jurisdictions of Canada
and as a derivatives dealer in Quebec, Dundee Securities Ltd. is subject to the oversight of the provincial securities commissions
and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. Operations are carried out directly, and through several sister
companies including Dundee Securities Europe LLP, a company authorized by the Financial Services Authority in the United
Kingdom for the purposes of security brokering and asset management; and Dundee Goodman Insurance Agency Ltd., licensed
by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario to carry on business as a life insurance agency (collectively “Dundee
Securities”).
As at September 30, 2015, the Corporation held a 100% interest in Dundee Securities and its sister companies. Additional
information about the operations of Dundee Securities and its various business divisions may be accessed at either
www.dundeecapitalmarkets.com or www.dundeegoodmanprivatewealth.com.
Dundee Energy Limited
Dundee Energy Limited (“Dundee Energy”) is a small-cap Canadian-based company focused on creating long-term value
through the development and acquisition of high-impact energy projects. Dundee Energy currently produces approximately
2,500 boe/d, 77% of which is natural gas production. Primarily in response to the considerable decline and ongoing volatility in
the price of oil and natural gas, Dundee Energy has significantly deferred its capital expenditure program, allocating immediately
available resources to activities designed to maintain existing production. Any residual cash flows that result from the reduced
capital spending will be applied towards the repayment of outstanding debt.
At September 30, 2015, the Corporation held a 58% interest in Dundee Energy, a public company whose common shares are
traded on the TSX under the symbol “DEN”. Additional information about Dundee Energy may be accessed at www.dundee-
energy.com.
United Hydrocarbon International Corp.
United Hydrocarbon International Corp. (“UHIC”) is a privately-held Canadian company engaged in the exploration,
development and production of oil and gas in the Republic of Chad. UHIC has a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) with the
government of the Republic of Chad through its wholly-owned subsidiary, United Hydrocarbon Chad Ltd. The PSC provides
UHIC with the exclusive right to explore and develop oil and gas reserves in four distinct blocks: the DOC Block and the DOD
Block (together the “Doba Basin”); the Lake Chad Block; and the Largeau Block.
The Corporation had previously announced that it was seeking to raise third party debt or equity of up to $250 million, the
proceeds of which would be used by UHIC in connection with its ongoing exploration programs. The sharp decline in oil prices
in late 2014 and continuing through 2015, have reduced value, delayed negotiations to secure a partner, and do not currently
support the original carrying value of the Corporation’s resource properties associated with its investment in UHIC.
As a result, during the third quarter of 2015, the carrying value of these properties was impaired by $215.2 million. The resource
properties were measured based on fair value less costs of disposal, determined by applying comparable valuation metrics as
determined in capital markets to UHIC’s most recent prospective resource estimates. The valuation methodology applied is
sensitive to the response of capital markets to further volatility in the pricing outlook for oil, which may result in additional
impairments to the resource properties, or may also result in the reversal of such impairment if the underlying volatility and/or
the price of oil improves.
As at September 30, 2015, the Corporation held a 35% equity interest in UHIC and in addition, had advanced $311.6 million to
UHIC under debt arrangements, all of which is currently carried at a total amount of $227.0 million. Additional information
regarding UHIC may be accessed at www.unitedhydrocarbon.com.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 6
Dundee Sustainable Technologies Inc.
Dundee Sustainable Technologies Inc. (“Dundee Technologies”) is engaged in the development of technologies for the treatment
of complex materials in the mining industry. Through the development of patented, proprietary processes, Dundee Technologies
extracts precious and base metals from ores, concentrates and tailings, while stabilizing contaminants such as arsenic, which
could not otherwise be extracted or stabilized with conventional processes because of metallurgical issues or environmental
considerations.
At present, Dundee Technologies’ most advanced proprietary processes are associated with the extraction of precious metals
using chlorination, which provides a cyanide-free alternative for the exploitation of gold deposits. In June 2015, Dundee
Technologies completed the construction of a demonstration plant that will serve as a “demonstration platform” for the
chlorination process on an industrial scale and under continuous operating conditions. Dundee Technologies has been supplied
with 600 tonnes of pyrite concentrate which it anticipates will be sufficient for processing during the first four month period of
operations at the demonstration plant. At full capacity, the demonstration plant should process approximately 5,000 tonnes of
concentrate per year.
In addition to this chlorination process, Dundee Technologies is currently in the construction phase of a pilot plant, designed to
analyze its arsenic stabilization process, which is designed for the sequestration of the contaminants into a stable glass form. This
process is becoming an attractive technique to segregate the arsenic and is therefore opening opportunities for materials
considered to contain too much of this toxic material to be exploited or stabilized using conventional approaches.
At September 30, 2015, the Corporation held a 66% equity interest and an 85% voting interest in Dundee Technologies.
Additional information regarding Dundee Technologies may be accessed at www.dundeetechnologies.com.
Eurogas International Inc.
Eurogas International Inc. (“Eurogas International”) (www.eurogasinternational.com), is a publicly traded (CSE:EI) oil and
natural gas exploration company. Eurogas International recently farmed out a substantial working interest in the Sfax offshore
permit, located in the shallow Mediterranean waters in the Gulf of Gabes, offshore Tunisia and southeast of the city of Sfax, to
DNO Tunisia AS, a subsidiary of DNO International ASA, an Oslo-listed company with significant expertise in the oil and gas
industry across the Middle East and Africa. Eurogas International has retained an approximate 5.625% royalty-like working
interest against future production derived from the Sfax offshore permit.
Blue Goose Capital Corp.
Blue Goose Capital Corp. (“Blue Goose”) is a privately-held Canadian company focused on the production, distribution and sale
of organic and natural beef, chicken and fish.
In late 2014, Dundee Corporation took steps to right size the business of Blue Goose. In early 2015, the Corporation appointed
new leadership to the operations of Blue Goose, with significant knowledge of the agriculture and agri-business industries in
Canada and abroad. Under this new leadership, Blue Goose’s focus in 2015 has been to profitably build the Blue Goose brand
and expand SKUs (stock keeping units) in each of the three protein verticals: organic beef, chicken and fish.
In addition to these intiatives, during the second quarter of 2015, Blue Goose successfully divested certain non-core assets,
including its aggregates business, and certain assets associated with its Wagyu cattle operations.
At September 30, 2015, the Corporation held an 88% interest in Blue Goose. Additional information about Blue Goose may be
accessed at www.bluegoosepurefoods.com.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 7
AgriMarine Holdings Inc.
AgriMarine Holdings Inc. (“AgriMarine”) is a private company engaged in fish farming activities using both conventional
netting systems and other proprietary aquaculture technologies. AgriMarine has three principal assets: a Steelhead trout fish farm
known as West Coast Fishculture, located in Powell River, British Columbia; a suite of patents pertaining to a closed-
containment tank technology used to rear finfish; and an engineering company known as “AgriMarine Technologies” that
supports internal needs and provides engineering services to third-party fish farm operators.
Effective May 22, 2015, the Corporation acquired the remaining 5% interest in AgriMarine that it did not already own for $0.2
million. As a result of this going private transaction, AgriMarine became a private, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dundee
Corporation, and the common shares of AgriMarine were delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Additional information about AgriMarine may be accessed at www.agrimarine.com.
Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation
Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation (“Dundee 360”) is an integrated global real estate company with proven capabilities
supporting the execution of mixed-use real estate projects from inception to monetization. Three core areas are strategic to the
growth of Dundee 360, including i) real estate development; ii) residential sales and marketing; and iii) hospitality and asset
management activities.
Many of Dundee 360’s current projects are early in their lifecycles, including Parq Resort & Casino in British Columbia, and its
developments in France, Croatia, Cuba and Korea. All of these projects have the support of the required regulatory and
governmental agencies and are expected to provide long-term sustainable revenues to Dundee 360.
Going forward, Dundee 360’s growth strategy is two-fold: firstly, it plans to capitalize on the continued densification of core
downtown areas in major cities and on the dramatic expansion of the affluent and middle classes, which should both drive
investments in urban and recreational mixed-use developments and benefit Dundee 360’s three core businesses. Secondly, it
plans to leverage the reputation of its international work, its association with Mii amo Spa, as well as the Sotheby’s International
Realty network to identify key projects and optimal sources of capital, and to deliver best-in-class projects in the communities
within which it operates. Currently, Dundee 360 is aligning strategic and long-term capital sources and financing vehicles, such
as investment funds, to allow Dundee 360 to continue growing its core business areas and leverage the depth of its expertise.
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR UNDER THE EQUITY METHOD
Reclassifications of Investments from Equity Accounted Investments to Portfolio Investments
Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (“Dundee Precious”) (www.dundeeprecious.com) is a Canadian-based international mining
company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, mining and processing of precious and base metals in Bulgaria,
Namibia, Armenia and Serbia. Dundee Precious seeks to acquire, finance and develop low-cost, long-life mining properties. The
Corporation holds a 25% interest in Dundee Precious which it had accounted for on an equity basis. As a result of the
repositioning by the Corporation of certain members of its senior management, the Corporation no longer has representation on
the board of directors of Dundee Precious, nor does it have the contractual right to appoint representation to the board of directors
of Dundee Precious. As a consequence, during the second quarter of 2015, the Corporation determined that it was not capable of
exerting significant influence over Dundee Precious and accordingly, the Corporation’s investment in Dundee Precious was
reclassified and designated as an investment at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
In August 2015, Oban Mining Corporation (“Oban”) completed a plan of arrangement pursuant to which Oban acquired all of
the common shares of each of Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation, Ryan Gold Corp. and Corona Gold Corporation in exchange
for the issuance of common shares of Oban from its treasury. The Corporation received 7,694,311 common shares of Oban on
the exchange, which the Corporation has classified as an investment at FVTPL. Prior to completion of the transaction with Oban
as outlined above, the Corporation had accounted for its investments in each of Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation, Ryan Gold
Corp. and Corona Gold Corporation on an equity basis.

Significant Developments in Equity Accounted Investments
Dundee Sarea Acquisition I Limited Partnership. (“Dundee Sarea”)
During the third quarter of 2015, Dundee Sarea (www.dundeesarea.com) received initial capital commitments of $112.5 million
to establish its initial special situations fund, the mandate of which is to invest in companies requiring turn-around expertise in
North American and Europe, with a focus on manufacturing, distribution, industrial products, agriculture, oil and gas and
forestry-related industries.
Dundee Corporation originally committed $37.5 million towards Dundee Sarea, of which $14.6 million had been invested on
September 30, 2015, originally representing 50% of the aggregate committed amount to the fund. On September 16, 2015, the
fund raised third party committed capital of a further $37.5 million, reducing the Corporation’s interest in the fund to
approximately 33%. In connection with the raising of third party capital, in October 2015, the Corporation received cash of $4.9
million as its pro-rata return of capital of the committed investment by the third party.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 9
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation’s share of equity earnings from its investment in Dundee
Sarea was $2.1 million, including the recognition of a dilution gain of $1.5 million relating to the committed capital of the new
third-party investor.
Dundee Acquisition Ltd. (“Dundee Acquisition”)
On March 5, 2015, the Corporation created Dundee Acquisition (www.dundeeacquisition.com), a special purpose acquisition
corporation (“SPAC”). A SPAC is a publicly traded corporation that has no operating business and uses the money raised from
the sale of equity in an initial public offering to finance an acquisition or merger of one or more businesses or assets by way of a
merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or any other similar business combination (a
“Qualifying Acquisition”).
Dundee Corporation founded Dundee Acquisition with an initial subscription of class B common shares with a value of $25,000
or $0.008 per share. On April 21, 2015, Dundee Acquisition completed an initial public offering of its class A restricted voting
units at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of a class A restricted voting share, and one-half of a warrant, each whole warrant
entitling the holder to purchase an additional share of Dundee Acquisition at $11.50 per share, subject to certain conditions as
outlined in the prospectus supporting the initial public offering. Dundee Acquisition raised aggregate proceeds of $112.3 million
pursuant to the initial public offering, including proceeds received on the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to its
underwriters. In connection with the initial public offering and its role as sponsor of Dundee Acquisition, Dundee Corporation
acquired 430,750 additional class B common shares of Dundee Acquisition at $10.00 per unit.
At September 30, 2015, Dundee Acquisition had 14,575,937 shares outstanding, comprised of 11,230,000 class A restricted
voting shares and 3,345,937 class B common shares. Dundee Corporation held 3,272,677 class B common shares, representing
22% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Dundee Acquisition. Accordingly, the Corporation is accounting for its
investment in Dundee Acquisition as an equity accounted investment.
The class A restricted voting shares of Dundee Acquisition provides the holders with the right to redeem their shares in the event
that a Qualifying Acquisition is not completed within 21 months from the closing of the initial public offering, or in certain other
conditions as outlined in the prospectus and, as such, the class A restricted voting shares of Dundee Acquisition have been
classified as debt in Dundee Acquisition’s financial statements. As a result, the equity of Dundee Acquisition consists solely of
its class B common shares, of which the Corporation holds 98%.
In connection with the initial public offering, Dundee Acquisition placed $10.00 per class A restricted voting share into an
escrow account to settle any redemption requirement. The Corporation, as founder and sponsor of Dundee Acquisition, does not
have access to these funds to fund ongoing operations, including legal and due diligence work necessary to complete a Qualifying
Acquisition. Dundee Corporation has also executed a make-whole agreement and undertaking in favour of Dundee Acquisition,
whereby Dundee Corporation has agreed to indemnify Dundee Acquisition in certain limited circumstances where the funds held
in escrow are reduced to below $10.00 per class A restricted voting share.
Since its creation, Dundee Acquisition has incurred costs, including costs associated with its initial public offering, such that at
September 30, 2015, Dundee Acquisition had a shareholders’ deficiency, of which the Corporation’s share is approximately $0.6
million. The Corporation has reduced its carrying value in this equity accounted investment to below zero to reflect its share of
the deficiency as it has certain legal obligations to make payments on behalf of the equity accounted investment, including any
payments required pursuant to the indemnity as outlined above.
Since its inception in March 2015 to September 30, 2015, the Corporation’s share of the net loss of Dundee Acquisition was $4.9
million.
Paragon Holdings (Smithe Street) ULC (“Paragon Holdings”)
Paragon Holdings is a joint venture established between the Corporation and Paragon Gaming Inc., for the purpose of developing
a Vancouver-based urban entertainment and leisure resort to be constructed adjacent to the B.C. Place stadium. The Corporation
holds an effective 37% indirect interest in the resort, including the existing operations of the Edgewater Casino.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 10
Once completed, the resort will feature two luxury hotels, a 60,000 square foot conference centre, five restaurants, three lounges,
retail space, parking facilities and a new home for the existing Edgewater Casino. The Corporation and Paragon Gaming Inc.
have entered into certain contracts pursuant to which entities jointly controlled by Dundee 360 and Paragon Gaming Inc. will
assume responsibility for the development, construction and management of the new complex on a fee-for-service basis.
The resort has an estimated full build out cost of $630 million, including financing costs. In late 2014, Parq Holdings Limited
Partnership (“Parq”) completed a US$415 million project financing arrangement for the development of the project. EllisDon
Corporation and Tishman Construction Corporation are constructing the project pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price
construction contract. Construction of the project commenced in late 2014 and is expected to be completed at the end of 2016.
Currently, excavation for the underground parking garage and podium is complete with above grade work commencing in
October 2015. Certain components of the parking garage construction had been accelerated to facilitate site access, and
improving the construction timetable. All permitting and approvals continue to proceed according to schedule.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation recognized equity losses from its investment in Paragon
Holdings of $14.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $2.0 million). These losses mainly reflect the Corporation’s
share of unrealized foreign exchange losses related to the project’s U.S. dollar-denominated debt. Exposure to changes in foreign
exchange rates in the underlying project debt is mitigated as the debt terms established a 30-month interest reserve to June 2017
that required the deposit of U.S. currency. The project has implemented a progressive hedging strategy whereby it has entered
into cross currency swaps on its quarterly interest and principal payments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign
currency fluctuations to March 31, 2019. In addition, the project has also locked in approximately US$90.0 million of its
principal at 1.326 CAD to 1.00 USD until March 31, 2019. The project expects to be able to refinance all or a portion of its debt
on or before March 31, 2019. The project’s debt matures on December 17, 2020 and December 17, 2021. The project will
progressively enter into additional hedges if foreign exchange rates reach certain pre-determined thresholds.
Union Group International Holdings Limited (“Union Group”)
Union Group (www.uniongrp.com) is a holding company with strategic investments in the agriculture, power generation,
infrastructure and logistics, minerals, oil and gas, and real estate sectors, expanding across a select number of Latin American
countries such as Uruguay, Peru and Paraguay. Union Group currently oversees US$1.0 billion of tangible, inflation-protected
assets.
Since 2011, Union Group has been developing approximately 1,000 megawatts (“MW”) of new hydropower capacity in Peru,
distributed across a portfolio of more than 15 run-of-river projects at various stages of development. The fabrication of power
generation equipment, as well as the civil construction works to house the equipment for its first two hydro plants, El Carmen and
8 de Agosto (27 MW) have been completed and production is expected to commence in January 2016, adding over 200 GWh of
renewable energy per year to the national grid under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Peruvian government. Earlier
in 2015, Union Group welcomed a European bank as strategic minority investor in these first two projects with an injection of
capital of US$25 million.
As part of its expansion plan to reach an installed capacity of 50 MW by the end of 2015, Union Group completed the acquisition
of Karpa, a hydro generation project of 20 MW of power, and with a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Peruvian
government. The Karpa project is scheduled to become operational by April 2017. Additionally, Union Group has developed
four other power generation projects that are now bidding for 20-year power purchase agreements with the government.
Union Group continues developing and operating infrastructure and logistics assets in Uruguay. Union Group operates a fleet of
six ships with a total capacity of 10,000 tonnes. A general cargo ship, with capacity for 262 teu’s (twenty-foot equivalent units)
or deadweight of 3,144 tonnes, covers a regular route between the Port of Paysandú, on the shores of the Uruguay River, and
Montevideo, with additional port calls in Nueva Palmira. Union Group also operates the Port of Paysandú, where it owns
specialized lifting equipment. For inland navigation, Union Group operates a fleet of four barges, with a capacity of 1,700 tonnes
each, and one pusher vessel that operates as a convoy.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 11
Union Group also develops and operates oil and gas assets in the Andean States and Southern Cone regions of Latin America.
During the first nine months of 2015, Union Group signed a joint venture agreement with ANCAP, thereby becoming the only
private company in Uruguay to operate jointly with Uruguay’s state-owned oil company. In addition, Union Group has
completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in an oil and gas operator/owner of a high potential onshore block in Peru with up
to 2.2 trillion cubic feet in reserves, and it has acquired a minority stake of a block in onshore Paraguay.
Union Group currently manages and invests in a diversified portfolio of prime real estate properties in Uruguay, including
income generating, residential and coastline land properties. It also holds a minority stake in Union Agriculture Group
(www.uag.com.uy) which currently manages 170,000 hectares of farmland and is a leading producer of dry crops, rice, cattle,
sheep and dairy products.
More recently, the Corporation and Union Group are collaborating on development of an asset management strategy and
innovative investment product offerings to allow third party investors to participate in the continued growth of Latin America’s
most compelling economies.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Union Group incurred losses of approximately US$2.3 million (nine months
ended September 30, 2014 – US$1.4 million), primarily as a result of pre-operative expenses associated with an energy
generating business. The Corporation’s share of these losses was $1.2 million. The Corporation’s share of losses is offset by the
recognition of a $10.9 million dilution gain resulting from the US$25 million equity investment by the European bank as noted
above.
Android Industries, LLC (“Android”)
The Corporation holds a 20% interest in Android (www.android-ind.com), a private leading high technology-enabled assembler
and sequencer of complex assemblies for the automotive industry. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Android
successfully concluded negotiations with a significant Asian Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), landing an assembly
contract with this new customer. Android continues to make progress with other OEM negotiations and its continued expansion
in the automotive industry both in and outside North America.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Android reported earnings before interest expense, and members’ distribution
for income taxes, of US$19.3 million. The Corporation’s share of equity earnings from its investment in Android was $1.6
million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $0.7 million equity loss).
Cambridge Medical Funding Group II, LLC (“Cambridge Medical”)
Cambridge Medical is a private, U.S.-based consortium with a focus on purchasing insured medical receivables. Using
proprietary software and sourcing, Cambridge Medical purchases medical receivables from clinics servicing Workers’
Compensation claims and manages the collection and adjudication process. Cambridge Medical continues to grow its business
organically and is seeing the benefits of improved efficiencies and business intelligence made possible through their proprietary
Rete software program. The Corporation has invested US$10.0 million to acquire a 50% interest in Cambridge Medical. The
Corporation has also advanced a further US$1.0 million to Cambridge Medical to assist with short-term working capital
requirements as Cambridge Medical expands its base of medical claims.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation’s share of equity earnings from its investment in Cambridge
Medical was $0.1 million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $0.5 million equity loss).
Escal UGS S.L. (“Escal”)
Escal was the developer and owner of a Spanish infrastructure project that converted the abandoned Amposta oilfield, located off
the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, to a natural gas storage facility (the “Castor Project”). The construction and
development of the Castor Project was managed through ACS Servicios Comunicaciones y Energia S.L. (“ACS”), a construction
group in Spain and a 67% shareholder of Escal. Through its 74% owned subsidiary, Castor UGS Limited Partnership (“CLP”),
Dundee Energy is the owner of the remaining 33% interest in Escal, providing Dundee Corporation with an indirect 14% interest
in the Castor Project.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 12
In September 2013, the Spanish authorities mandated suspension of activities, following micro-seismic activity detected in the
area surrounding the Castor Project and Escal determined that it was appropriate to exercise its right under the underground gas
storage concession to relinquish the concession to the Spanish authorities. In November 2014, and under the terms of the
relinquishment, Escal received €1.35 billion, being the net value of its investment in the Castor Project, after deducting €110
million previously received by Escal during the pre-commissioning stage of development. These proceeds were applied towards
the partial repayment of the €1.41 billion of outstanding bonds issued by Watercraft Capital S.A., Escal's financing vehicle.
Also in November 2014, ACS arranged a €300 million bank financing for Escal, of which €60 million was applied to repay the
balance of amounts owing pursuant to the outstanding bond arrangements. CLP is of the view that the new financing arranged by
ACS was not in the best interest of Escal and consequently, CLP has lodged a legal action challenging the approval of the new
financing. The balance of the funds were used to repay Escal’s shareholder loans solely to ACS, which in the opinion of CLP,
contravenes the terms of the 2007 memorandum of understanding in respect of CLP’s ownership rights in the equity and
shareholder loans of Escal. Early in the second quarter of 2015, CLP commenced binding arbitration proceedings to resolve this
contractual dispute with ACS. As required pursuant to the terms of the memorandum of understanding referred to above, the
arbitration will be in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in Paris, and will be heard by
an arbitral tribunal consisting of three arbitrators. CLP has initiated the assembly of the necessary documents in support of its
claim for eventual transmission to the court. Evidentiary hearings are expected to commence in mid-2016. In order to fund the
costs associated with the arbitration process, CLP raised funds through a voluntary cash call to its limited partners. CLP raised
cash of $2.2 million from the cash call, including $1.7 million raised from Dundee Energy itself.
The Spanish authorities have mandated that the Castor Project remain mothballed until the Spanish government is satisfied with
technical studies and reports on any future commissioning of such facilities. However, Escal and its shareholders remain
responsible for any possible flaws or defects in the facilities associated with the Castor Project that become apparent during a 10
year period ending in October 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation raised proceeds of $162.6 million from the sale of certain of
its investments. Proceeds include $58.9 million received from the settlement of a previously issued demand note to DREAM
Unlimited Corp., and a further $31.0 million from the repayment of amounts previously provided to DREAM Global Real Estate
Investment Trust. Additional proceeds of $26.0 million were realized on the sale of the Corporation’s interest in Catalyst Fund
Limited Partnership III during the second quarter of the current year.
Changes in the market value of investments further reduced the value of the Corporation’s portfolio of investments at FVTPL by
$241.8 million, reflecting decreases in market values, primarily resulting from the weakening demand for resources, as well as
declining commodities prices. Included in the change in market values during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is
$134.2 million relating to the Corporation’s investment in Dundee Precious, which had previously been accounted for as an
equity accounted investment, and $55.0 million relating to the Corporation’s investment in DREAM Unlimited Corp.
At September 30, 2015, the Corporation’s portfolio of investments continued to include several public and private investments, as
well as certain debt securities across a variety of industry sectors.
Investment in DREAM Unlimited Corporation (“DREAM”)
In January 2015, DREAM (TSX:DRM) announced an agreement to form a joint venture with Canadian Pacific Railways (“CP”)
for the purpose of generating value from CP’s diverse portfolio of surplus real estate assets. Leveraging its experience and
recognized sector expertise, DREAM will identify and develop surplus assets from CP’s real estate portfolio including select
properties poised for development such as Schiller Park, a 75-acre site in Chicago; Obico, a 74-acre site near Toronto; South
Edmonton Yard, a 92-acre site close to downtown Edmonton; and Lucien L’Allier, a 3-acre site in downtown Montreal.
In addition, in March 2015, DREAM announced a reorganization of the management structure of DREAM Office Real Estate
Investment Trust (the “Office REIT”). Under the terms of the reorganization, the asset management agreement between
DREAM and the Office REIT was eliminated. In exchange, DREAM received 4.9 million limited partnership units of a
subsidiary of the Office REIT, each partnership unit of which is exchangeable for Office REIT units on a one-for-one basis.
Concurrent with the reorganization, DREAM and the Office REIT entered into a management services agreement pursuant to
which DREAM will continue to provide, on a cost recovery basis, strategic oversight of the Office REIT.

information regarding DREAM is available at www.dream.ca.
Dundee Precious Metals Inc.
Dundee Corporation currently holds a 25% equity stake with a market value of $77.0 million in Dundee Precious. As previously
indicated, the Corporation determined during the second quarter of 2015 that it no longer exerted significant influence over the
operations and financial results of Dundee Precious, and therefore reclassified and designated its interest in Dundee Precious as
an investment at FVTPL.
Investment in TauRx Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“TauRx”)
TauRx is a private neuroscience company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of products for the
diagnosis and treatment of neuro-degenerative diseases caused through protein aggregation. The business was established in
2002 with the aim of discovering novel approaches to the treatment and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) as well as
other neurological diseases characterized by abnormal aggregation of the Tau protein within the brain.
TauRx is currently undertaking a substantial Phase 3 clinical trial program using LTMX™, a drug targeted at treatment of mild to
moderate AD and Frontotemporal Dementia. The Phase 2 clinical trial, completed using LTMX™’s predecessor drug (MTC™),
was conducted in over 300 patients and, according to the company, showed a 90% reduction in the rate of disease progression in
its first year and provided strong evidence that this approach to treatment may be capable of arresting the progression of the
disease over one to two years in those with mild AD. The active ingredient was reformulated to its current form in order to
address dose-dependent absorption limitations found with MTC™.
Subsequent to September 30, 2015, TauRx announced completion of the final tranche of a US$135.0 million equity financing
that it launched in March 2015. The funds will support ongoing Phase 3 trials to validate the efficacy of LMTX™. TauRx
expects the results of these clinical trials to be released in the middle of 2016.
Additional information regarding TauRx may be accessed at www.taurx.com.
Investment in Pan African Minerals (“Pan African”)
Pan African is a privately held, mineral exploration and development company focused on the acquisition, exploration and
development of mineral assets in western Africa. Pan African’s principal assets currently comprise the 90%-owned Tambao
manganese project in Burkina Faso and the 70%-owned Mount Klahoyo magnetite iron ore project in Ivory Coast. Pan African
also has uranium exploration licenses in Niger.
More recently, political unrest in Burkino Faso has caused delays in the production ramp up schedule. In March 2015,
production was temporarily suspended while Burkina Faso’s transitional government reviews the terms and conditions pursuant
to which the original permit was awarded under the previous government. As at September 30, 2015, the governmental review
was still ongoing and the license remained suspended.
Dundee Corporation currently owns 12% or a $7.0 million equity stake of Pan African. Additional information regarding Pan
African may be accessed at www.panafricanmineralssa.com.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 16
Investment in Red Leaf Resources Inc. (“Red Leaf”)
Red Leaf is a privately held oil and gas technology company. Red Leaf’s patented technology, EcoShale, is a next generation oil
and gas recovery technology focused on unlocking oil reserves in oil shale deposits. EcoShale extracts oil with lower energy
consumption, lower emissions and lower water utilization than any oil shale technology currently deployed in the world. The
addressable market for EcoShale is quite extensive; globally there are approximately 5.2 trillion barrels of oil shale in place
resources, with 4.2 trillion barrels of those resources in the United States alone.
In March 2015, Red Leaf announced the suspension of the Early Production System (“EPS”), the first commercial demonstration
project of the EcoShale technology, for up to two years. In part, this decision was a result of the low oil price environment, but it
will also provide Red Leaf time to improve the technology with a view to increase product yield and reduce costs, both leading to
an improvement in commerciality. Construction will restart in the first half of 2017 with first oil expected in 2018. Red Leaf’s
joint venture partner, Total E&P USA Oil Shale, LLC, will fund costs associated with the two-year suspension of the EPS phase
and the optimization of the EcoShale technology.
Dundee Corporation currently holds 2% or a $16.4 million equity stake in Red Leaf. Additional information regarding Red Leaf
may be accessed at www.redleafinc.com.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Corporation believes that important measures of its operating performance, as well as that of its subsidiaries, include certain
metrics that are not defined under IFRS and as such, may not be comparable to similar performance measures used by other
companies. Throughout this MD&A, there will be references to certain performance measures which management believes are
relevant in assessing the economics of its business. While these performance measures are not formally recognized by IFRS, the
Corporation believes that they are informative and provide further qualitative insight into net earnings and cash flows.
“AUA” or “Assets under Administration” represent the approximate period-end value of client assets administered by the
Corporation’s brokerage subsidiaries and in respect of which these subsidiaries earn commission revenue and other similar
fees from clients. AUA are not included in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of financial position.
“AUM” or “Assets under Management” represent the period-end value of client assets managed by the Corporation’s
wealth management and asset management subsidiaries on a discretionary basis and in respect of which these subsidiaries
earn management fee revenue and, in certain cases, performance fee revenue. AUM are not included in the Corporation’s
consolidated statements of financial position.
“Barrel of Oil Equivalent” or “boe” is calculated at a barrel of oil conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of
natural gas to one barrel (“bbl”) of oil (6 Mcf to 1 bbl), based on an energy equivalency conversion method which is
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not always represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
“Contribution Margin” or “Margin” is an important measure of earnings in certain business segments and generally
represents core revenues less cost of sales. Margin generally excludes general and administrative expenses, interest
expense, and income taxes and may also exclude depreciation and depletion of assets not directly associated with the
activities of producing or extracting product for sale.
“Market Value” or “Fair Value” of an investment is generally determined using quoted market prices on prescribed stock
exchanges for investments that are publicly traded. Market value or fair value of an investment that is privately held is
determined by reference to valuation methodologies appropriate for the investment.
“Field Level Cash Flows” are calculated as revenue from oil and natural gas sales, less royalties and cost of sales. Field
level cash flows contribute to working capital, including debt management, as well as to the funding of capital expenditure
requirements for the Corporation’s resource-based business activities.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 17
“Field Netbacks” refer to field level cash flows expressed on a measurement unit or barrel of oil equivalent basis.
“Per Day Amount” or (“/d”) is used throughout this MD&A to reflect oil and gas production volumes on an average per
day basis.
“Probable Reserves” are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally
likely that the actual remaining reserves quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved
plus probable reserves.
“Proved Reserves” are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely
that the actual remaining reserves quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
“Resources” or “Contingent Resources” represents those quantities of oil or natural gas estimated to be potentially
recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which do not
currently qualify as reserves or commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.
“Shareholders’ Equity on a Per Share Basis” is calculated by dividing the carrying value of the Corporation’s
shareholders’ equity in accordance with IFRS (or the “Market Value” or “Fair Value” of such shareholders’ equity
determined using valuation methodologies as described under the definition of “Market Value” or “Fair Value” above), by
the aggregate number of Subordinate Shares and Class B Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2014
Consolidated Net Earnings
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation incurred a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee
Corporation of $404.2 million, or a loss of $7.03 per share. Included in the current period results is an impairment of $132.9
million relating to the Corporation’s investment in UHIC, net of the non-controlling shareholders’ share of the associated
impairment in the underlying asset.
The net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation, adjusted for the impairment to the Corporation’s investment in UHIC,
was $271.2 million or a loss of $4.74 per share. This compares with a net loss of $140.2 million, or a loss of $2.68 per share
incurred during the first nine months of the prior year. The following table summarizes the Corporation’s net earnings or loss on
a per segment basis, including the consequential effect of the impairment described above.
Other significant changes in period-over-period results are described below and are further discussed under “Segmented Results
of Operations”.
Included in the corporate and other portfolio holdings segment are gains or losses representing changes in the market
values of the Corporation’s investment portfolio, all of which have been classified as investments at FVTPL for
accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these investments, which are determined by trends and
information in equity and capital markets, are recorded in the Corporation’s net earnings or loss and can cause
substantial volatility in operating results. However, the Corporation cautions that equity and credit markets do not
necessarily correctly reflect the underlying value of certain assets and therefore, the Corporation’s operating results do
not provide reliable predictive information to readers of the Corporation’s financial statements.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 19
Declines in the fair value of the Corporation’s portfolio of investments during the nine months ended September 30,
2015 were $241.8 million, compared with declines of $108.4 million incurred during the first nine months of the prior
year, including a marked-to-market loss of $134.2 million in respect of the Corporation’s investment in Dundee
Precious and $55.0 million relating to the Corporation’s investment in DREAM.
The Corporation’s stock based compensation expense is partially correlated to the market value of the Corporation’s
investment in DREAM. These stock based compensation arrangements are recognized as liabilities of the Corporation
and are measured at fair value as determined by the underlying price of a DREAM share, with changes in fair value
reported in net earnings. During the first nine months of the prior year, the value of these liabilities decreased by $9.7
million, with a corresponding decrease in stock based compensation expense. In addition to the effect of stock based
compensation, the Corporation also adjusted its estimate of incentive compensation. This adjustment further reduced
liabilities in the first nine months of the prior year by $6.0 million, with a corresponding reduction in general and
administrative expenses. On a combined basis, these compensation related amounts reduced aggregate expenses in the
first nine months of 2014 by $15.7 million, significantly affecting the comparative period-over-period results of the
corporate and other portfolio holdings segment.
Dundee Securities incurred net operating losses of $14.4 million during the first nine months of 2015, compared with
net operating losses of $5.8 million during the first nine months of the prior year. The increase in operating losses
relates primarily to the capital markets division of Dundee Securities, where challenging investment markets during the
first nine months of 2015 resulted in lower investment banking revenue, and correspondingly lower profitability.
Dundee Energy’s results were impacted by significant volatility in prices of oil and natural gas. During the first nine
months of the prior year and in response to unanticipated demand for natural gas due to poor weather conditions,
Dundee Energy realized an average price of $7.29/Mcf for its natural gas, compared with an average realized price of
$4.30/Mcf during the first nine months of 2015. Global prices for oil also adversely affected profitability in Dundee
Energy, as the realized price decreased to $62.78/bbl during the first three quarters of 2015, compared with $105.90/bbl
in the same period of the prior year.
UHIC incurred net operating losses, exclusive of the impairment loss related to its resource properties as previously
described, of $31.4 million during the first nine months of 2015, compared with losses of $24.5 million incurred during
the same period of the prior year. Results in the current period include $10.1 million of termination and shut-down
costs incurred by UHIC in response to lower oil prices, while prior year results included a $9.0 million compensation
amount related to the acceleration of the vesting criteria associated with outstanding warrants of UHIC. Ongoing costs
associated with the care and maintenance of UHIC’s resource properties are currently being expensed as general and
administrative costs and will not be allocated to the underlying cost of the property until active exploration is resumed.
In the early part of 2014, the Corporation restructured the operations of Blue Goose. As a result of these initiatives,
Blue Goose incurred a net operating loss of $21.3 million in the first nine months of the prior year. The steps initiated
to right size the business of Blue Goose, and the appointment of new leadership with significant knowledge of the
agricultural and agri-business industry, are beginning to be reflected in the net operating results of Blue Goose, with a
substantial reduction of losses in the current period, to $13.7 million.
Included in operating results during the first nine months of the current year are net losses of $33.8 million relating to
the operations of Dundee 360 and AgriMarine. The Corporation began to consolidate the operating results of Dundee
360 and AgriMarine in the third quarter of 2014, following its initial acquisition of control of these two entities in July
2014. The comparative losses recognized by the Corporation during the first nine months of the prior year include
losses only since the date of acquisition of control, and are therefore comparatively lower than the current period
results. Furthermore, operating results of AgriMarine during the first nine months of the current year include $18.1
million of accelerated depreciation on certain assets, including $13.6 million relating to intangible assets that were
acquired as part of the aforementioned acquisition of control.

Segmented Results of Operations
The following discussion provides a more comprehensive analysis of the performance results of each of the Corporation’s
operating subsidiaries, and their impact to the consolidated operating results of the Corporation. The following information is
presented in a manner that corresponds to the Corporation’s reportable business segments as presented in note 34 to the
September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
GOODMAN & COMPANY, INVESTMENT COUNSEL INC.
At September 30, 2015, total AUM in GCIC decreased to $91.3 million, compared with AUM of $104.1 million at December 31,
2014.
AUM depreciated by $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, representing approximately 9% of the
value of AUM at the beginning of the year. Depreciation experienced in AUM was much less than the depreciation in the
industry generally, including the S&P/TSX Composite Gold Sub-Industry Index, which declined by 17% during the nine months
ended September 30, 2015 and the S&P/TSX Composite Diversified Metals and Mining Sub-Industry Index which decreased by
over 52% in the same period. The indices used are a barometer of the Canadian resource industries, which is the investment
focus of the underlying funds managed by GCIC.
GCIC’s management fee revenue is determined based on the fair value of AUM calculated on the last business day of each
month. Average AUM was $105.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $281.9 million
during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in average AUM is reflected in management fee revenues, which
decreased to $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $2.4 million earned in the same period of
the prior year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the average management fee rate increased to 2.0% of AUM,
compared with a 1.2% average management fee rate earned in the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of GCIC’s
changed mandate and subsequent resignation from its sub-advisory arrangements. During the nine months ended September 30,
2015, GCIC incurred a net loss before income taxes of $2.1 million, compared with a loss of $1.1 million incurred in the same
period of the prior year. The increased loss reflects costs associated with the build-out of this entity to meet the strategic
direction undertaken by DGIM.
Management fee revenue earned by GCIC during the third quarter of 2015 was $0.5 million, compared with $0.8 million earned
in the same period of the prior year. Consistent with year-to-date results, the decrease reflects the reduction in underlying AUM,
partially offset by increased average management fee rate as a result of the realignment of sub-advisory activities. During the
third quarter of 2015, GCIC incurred a net loss of $0.9 million, compared with a net loss in the third quarter of 2014 of $0.2
million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Capital Markets Division
Financial Services Revenue
Investment banking revenue, including revenue from new issues and advisory services fees, was $20.3 million during the first
nine months of 2015, a 49% decrease from the $40.1 million of revenue earned in the same period of the prior year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee Securities participated in 101 public and private new issue
transactions, marginally less than the 106 transactions in which Dundee Securities participated during the first nine months of the
prior year. The mining, oil and gas sectors represented 34% of new issue activity. New issue financings generated revenue of
$17.0 million during the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of 44% when compared with $30.5 million of revenue earned in
the same period of the prior year, as a consequence of both a decrease in the average size of financing transactions completed, as
well as lower average percentage participation in those financings by Dundee Securities.
Advisory fee revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.3 million, compared with $9.6 million of
advisory fee revenue earned in the same period of the prior year. Advisory mandates are generally long term in nature, and fees
are earned only following the successful completion of a transaction, therefore, revenue from the provision of advisory fee
services may be subject to significant volatility.
In line with wider industry trends, commission revenue decreased by 31% during the first nine months of 2015 to $13.5 million,
compared with $19.5 million earned in the same period of the prior year, reflecting decreased activity from institutional clients.
A decrease in facilitation trading losses, compared with the same period of the prior year, has resulted in lower principal trading
losses of $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2015, compared with $4.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The
ratio of facilitation trading losses to associated institutional commission revenue decreased to 22% in the current period,
compared with 26% in the first nine months of the prior year.

Variable Compensation Expense
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, variable compensation expense in the capital markets division was $15.6
million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $28.6 million), representing approximately 48% (nine months ended
September 30, 2014 – 51%) of related financial services revenue, resulting in contribution margins of 52% (nine months ended
September 30, 2014 – 49%). Contribution margins in the prior year were adversely affected by discretionary compensation
amounts that were not directly attributable to specific revenue items.
General and Administrative Expenses
The capital markets division incurred direct general and administrative expenses of $18.5 million during the first nine months of
2015, compared with $19.7 million incurred in the same period of the prior year, due to a reduction in trade related, promotion
and travel expenses, partially offset by severance costs associated with the restructuring of the division. Allocated expenses
decreased to $3.7 million from $5.4 million in the same period of the prior year, due primarily to expense reductions in back
office administration and support departments.
The Retail Division and Other Activities
Assets Under Management and Assets Under Administration
AUA decreased to $4.3 billion at September 30, 2015, compared with AUA levels of $4.8 billion at the end of December 2014
and September 30, 2014. AUM also decreased during the same period, with AUM levels at September 30, 2015 of $0.7 billion, a
37% decrease from AUM of $1.1 billion at September 30, 2014. Advisor departures in late August 2015 resulted in the loss of
approximately $0.8 billion in AUA and $0.6 billion in AUM.
Management fee revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased to $12.5 million, compared with
the $9.9 million of management fees earned in the same period of the prior year. The increase reflected higher average AUM in
the first nine months of 2015 relative to the same period of the prior year.
Commission revenue increased by 2% during the first nine months of 2015 to $17.6 million, compared with $17.2 million earned
in the same period of the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of having nine months service from the addition of retail
advisors in March 2014.
Principal trading activities generated gains of $1.4 million during the first nine months of 2015, compared with $3.6 million in
the same period of the prior year, reflecting the impact of uncertain economic conditions on the portfolio of trading securities.
Variable Compensation Expense
Variable compensation expense in the retail division was $18.8 million (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $17.8 million),
representing approximately 57% (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – 55%) of related financial services and management
fee revenue, resulting in contribution margins of 43% (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – 45%). Financial advisors are
compensated on a variable scale, based on revenues generated. Certain professionals may also be compensated based on the
profitability of their respective division. The current period’s variable compensation reflects the effect of different payout models
in the non-retail departments of this division.

General and Administrative Expenses
The retail and other division incurred direct general and administrative expenses of $18.1 million during the first nine months of
2015, compared with $16.0 million incurred in the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to
occupancy costs associated with new branches, as well as increased trade costs reflecting the increased volume of activity
resulting from the acquisition of advisors in March 2014. Allocated expenses decreased to $9.6 million, from $10.4 million in
the same period of the prior year.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Balances Directly Related to Dundee Securities
Client account balances represent funds owing from or belonging to clients, and amounts due to or from brokers and dealers that
are pending settlement. Securities owned and securities sold short represent trading positions of Dundee Securities and are
recorded at their fair values based on quoted prices where available, with changes in fair values included in principal trading
revenue. Client account balances and trading positions will vary significantly on a day-to-day basis and are dependent on
business activities and trading strategies in response to market conditions and in anticipation of price movements. These
variances do not necessarily reflect any meaningful changes to Dundee Securities’ financial position. At September 30, 2015,
client accounts receivable included $318.3 million of agency foreign exchange trading contracts (December 31, 2014 – $109.0
million), with a corresponding amount included in client deposits and related liabilities.
Call Loan Facilities
From time to time, Dundee Securities may utilize call loan arrangements to facilitate the securities settlement process for both
client and principal securities transactions, or to fund margin lending. At September 30, 2015, Dundee Securities had established
an uncommitted call loan facility for up to $100 million (December 31, 2014 – $100 million). There were no amounts drawn
pursuant to this facility at September 30, 2015.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 24
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee Energy incurred a net loss of $4.4 million attributable to owners of
Dundee Corporation. This compares to net earnings attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $2.7 million generated
during the same period of the prior year.
Sales and Production Volumes
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, sales of oil and natural gas, net of royalty interests, generated revenues of
$20.1 million, a decrease of $10.6 million from revenues of $30.7 million earned during the same period of the prior year. The
effect of lower commodity prices decreased revenues by approximately $13.9 million, although these results were partially offset
by improved production volumes, which increased revenues by $3.3 million.
During the first nine months of 2015, Dundee Energy realized an average price on sales of natural gas of $4.30/Mcf, representing
an 8% premium over the average benchmark price at the Dawn Hub. Dundee Energy continues to benefit from its proximity to
the Dawn Hub, as it is a provider of natural gas supply to the greater Toronto market area. Despite this premium however, the
average realized price on sales of natural gas in the current period declined 41% from the average price of $7.29/Mcf realized by
Dundee Energy in the first nine months of the prior year. The realized price for natural gas in the first nine months of the prior
year reflected an increase in demand for natural gas in the January to April period, caused by unanticipated severe winter weather
conditions.
Volatility in the trading price for crude oil remains highly elevated, driven by uncertainty over future global economic growth
and supply/demand fundamentals. Consistent with this volatility, during the first nine months of 2015, Dundee Energy realized
an average price of $62.78/bbl on sales of crude oil, a 41% decrease from the average price of $105.90/bbl realized during the
same period of the prior year. On a comparative basis, the Edmonton Par average price for crude oil during the first nine months
of 2015 fell 41% below the average price for crude oil in the same period of 2014, while the U.S. dollar-denominated West Texas
Intermediate price for this commodity fell 49% on a period-over-period basis.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Capital Expenditures
In response to declining commodity prices for both crude oil and natural gas, Dundee Energy determined that it was appropriate
to significantly reduce its planned 2015 capital expenditure program. Accordingly, Dundee Energy’s work plan for 2015 was
budgeted at $0.9 million and was anticipated to consist primarily of costs associated with maintaining the existing and essential
land portfolio, as well as certain costs to complete projects that had been started in late 2014. To date, Dundee Energy has
incurred approximately $0.6 million of these budgeted capital expenditures, including $0.4 million related to Dundee Energy’s
land portfolio, $0.1 million related to the completion of prior year projects and $0.1 million to commence a project undertaken
through the “saveONenergy” program in the province of Ontario, which is assisting with funding to allow Dundee Energy to
right-size oil well pumping equipment, which will yield more efficient and reduced operating costs at certain southern Ontario
locations.
Demand Revolving Credit Facility
A subsidiary of Dundee Energy has established a $70.0 million credit facility with a Canadian Schedule I Chartered Bank. The
credit facility is structured as a demand revolving loan, and is subject to a tiered interest rate structure that varies based on the net
debt to cash flow ratio generated by the subsidiary. Based on current ratios, draws on the credit facility bear interest at prime
plus 3.5% for loans and letters of credit or, for bankers’ acceptances, at the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 4.5%. At September
30, 2015, an aggregate of $60.0 million had been drawn against the credit facility.
Given recent volatility in the prices of oil and natural gas, and more specifically, the substantial decrease in the price of crude oil
in the latter part of 2014 and early 2015, Dundee Energy’s lenders have requested that Dundee Energy make significant
reductions in the amounts borrowed pursuant to its credit facility, such that amounts borrowed are reduced to approximately
$55.0 million by the middle of 2016. Dundee Energy has made adjustments to its work plan for 2015 and it has taken certain cost
saving measures in its operations such that it expects to be in compliance with the lender’s requests by the second quarter of
2016. However, given the demand nature of Dundee Energy’s debt facility, there can be no assurance that the lenders to Dundee
Energy will not request further reductions in available borrowings pursuant to Dundee Energy’s credit facility to correspond to
further decreases in market prices of commodities, or otherwise.
UNITED HYDROCARBON INTERNATIONAL CORP.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Through its PSC with the government of the Republic of Chad, UHIC has the exlusive right to explore and develop oil and gas
reserves in four distinct blocks.
The Doba Basin, which includes both the DOC Block and the DOD Block, is located in southern Chad where two oil discoveries
from previous operators, the Belanga and M’Biku discoveries, are situated in close proximity to producing fields currently
operated by Exxon. In January 2015, UHIC drilled one unsuccessful exploration well at this site at a cost of approximately $2.1
million.
Two oil discoveries from previous operators within the 1.8 million acre Lake Chad Block are included in UHIC’s PSC, namely
the Kumia and Kanem discoveries. With 7,400 kilometres of 2-D seismic data, previous operators identified approximately 200
exploration leads or prospects in this area. Through its seismic review process, UHIC has identified five drill ready locations that
could be drilled when the commodity price environment improves. In January 2015, the governments of Chad and Niger
announced the formation of the Niger Oil Transportation Corporation (NOTCO) which has proposed a pipeline route from Niger
through UHIC’s Lake Chad Block, enroute to joining the export pipeline in the Doba Basin, and arrangement which could prove
profitable to UHIC in the future.
UHIC has historically focused its efforts on the Doba Basin and Lake Chad Block, and will evaluate the fourth block, the
Largeau Block, as part of its long-term strategy as the Largeau Block is more remote and relatively unexplored.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 26
In response to significant downward pressure in the global price for oil, UHIC suspended drilling operations during the first
quarter of 2015, releasing the drilling rig, and issuing contract suspension and termination notices to most of its service providers.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, UHIC reduced staffing levels commensurate with the reduced level of
operations.
Impairment of Resource Properties
The Corporation had previously announced that it was seeking to raise third party debt or equity of up to $250.0 million, the
proceeds of which would be used by UHIC in connection with its ongoing exploration programs. Following the sharp decline in
oil prices in late 2014 and continuing into 2015, the Corporation has not consummated a transaction. Current market conditions
do not support the underlying carrying value of UHIC’s resource properties. As a result, during the third quarter of 2015, the
carrying value of these properties was impaired by $215.2 million, to their estimated recoverable amount of $235.9 million.
The majority of exploration costs incurred by UHIC in the Republic of Chad are denominated in U.S. dollars. In accordance with
accounting requirements, the aggregate pool of capitalized exploration costs are translated into Canadian dollars at the end of
each financial reporting period using the prevailing foreign exchange rate.
The recoverable amounts of these resource properties were measured based on fair value less costs of disposal, determined by
applying comparable valuation metrics as determined in capital markets to UHIC’s most recent prospective resource estimates as
illustrated in the table below.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 27
In determining the magnitude of estimated unrisked resources, UHIC used its best estimate, and employed third-party
independent assessments, if available. However, this data is inherently imprecise and is subject to significant judgment. The
range of values per barrel of unrisked resources was determined using publicly available metrics of a basket of comparable
publicly-traded companies. These metrics are sensitive to the consequential reaction of capital markets to volatility in, and the
pricing outlook for oil. These factors may result in additional impairments to these properties, or may also result in the reversal
of such impairment if the underlying volatility and/or the price of oil improves.
Cash Resources
UHIC does not currently generate cash flows from its business activities, and it currently relies on its ability to raise funds
through capital markets or through debt from the Corporation. There can be no assurance that UHIC will be successful in raising
the necessary funds to support future operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
UHIC normally capitalizes costs that are directly related to its exploration activities, including all costs incurred in the Republic
of Chad, as well as certain costs incurred at head office that relate specifically to these activities. Following the suspension of
drilling operations early in 2015, these general and administrative expenses have been expensed as incurred, contributing to a net
loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, before impairment charges of $31.4 million. Expenses incurred in the
nine months of the prior year include a $10.0 million discovery bonus paid by UHIC to the Corporation in recognition of the
contribution made by the Corporation towards an oil discovery, and $9.0 million in compensation expense relating to
amendments of terms of UHIC’s outstanding warrants.
(in millions of dollars)
Upon completion of activities required in order to effectively suspend drilling operations, UHIC anticipates that the property will
require costs of approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million per month until a successful farmout is achieved or financing is
obtained.
DUNDEE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Reflective of its current stage of development, Dundee Technologies does not report any revenue. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2015, it incurred a net loss of $1.4 million and $4.7 million respectively (three and nine months
ended September 30, 2014 – $2.5 million, and $7.1 million respectively). Operating losses incurred during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2015 include costs of $1.6 million and $3.7 million respectively, directly associated with the
development and construction of the demonstration plant designed as “proof of concept” for Dundee Technologies’ chlorination
process (three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $2.1 million and $6.5 million respectively). This “proof of concept”
is expected to support Dundee Technologies’ business model, which is based on using the technology in commercial plants built
with a consortium of mine owners.

The construction of the demonstration plant was completed in June 2015 and the commissioning of the plant was finalized in
October 2015. At September 30, 2015, Dundee Technologies had expended $14.6 million towards the budgeted $25 million
required to complete and operate the plant during its demonstration phase.
During the third quarter of 2015, Dundee Technologies has been actively seeking the supply of various concentrate feed sources,
and has been negotiating with identified partners to secure sufficient volumes of concentrate feed material necessary for the
operation of the demonstration plant throughout 2016.
EUROGAS INTERNATIONAL INC.
After farming out its working interest to DNO, Eurogas International retained a 5.625% working interest in the Sfax offshore
permit. In early 2015, DNO completed the drilling of the Jawhara-3 well, the first exploration and appraisal well undertaken by
DNO on the Sfax offshore permit. The Jawhara-3 well was vertically drilled to a total depth of 2,815 metres. The Douleb and
Bireno fractured carbonates formations proved to be water bearing in the compartment of the principal structure targeted by the
well and therefore, DNO concluded that further analysis of the well’s logging and testing results would be required in order to re-
evaluate the Jawhara prospect. In view of these results, DNO reassessed its work plan for 2015 and sought an extension of the
first renewal period of the Sfax offshore permit. In August 2015, DNO received the necessary regulatory approval from the
Tunisian authorities for a two-year extension of the first renewal period related to the Sfax offshore permit, extending the first
renewal period and the associated exploration well drilling obligation to December 8, 2017. In addition, the extension requires
the acquisition of 700 km of 2-dimensional seismic.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, Eurogas International incurred a loss before income taxes of $0.2
million and $0.6 million respectively, compared with losses of $0.2 million and $0.8 million respectively in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in the net loss reflects substantial cost cutting initiatives which were
implemented by Eurogas International in early 2015.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 29
Consistent with this mandate, two non-strategic business units were successfully divested in the first half of 2015. A transaction
to dispose of the majority of Blue Goose’s interest in Commonwealth Aggregate Company Incorporated (“Commonwealth”) was
completed in June 2015. Proceeds from the divestiture were $11.9 million, of which $7.4 million were used to fully repay
amounts outstanding under debt facilities previously provided for the operations of the Commonwealth business. Blue Goose
recorded an accounting gain on this sale of $0.9 million. Blue Goose also sold the assets of Emma Farms Cattle Company
(“Emma Farms”) and Owl Creek Lands, LLC (“Owl Creek”), through which it operated its U.S. Wagyu business activities,
including all cattle and land assets. The sale price of US$17.8 million (Cdn$21.9 million) provided net proceeds to Blue Goose
of US$11.3 million (Cdn$14.0 million), after repayment of debt outstanding in respect of these operations, and resulted in a loss
of $5.3 million. The net loss on the sale of these assets has been reported in the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements as a component of general and administrative costs as illustrated in the previous table.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Blue Goose incurred a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation
of $12.0 million, inclusive of a net $4.4 million loss associated with divestitures as outlined above. After adjusting for these
amounts, operating losses attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were
$7.6 million, a substantial improvement over losses attributable to the owners of Dundee Corporation of $17.9 million in the
same period of the prior year. This is largely the result of operational changes leading to cost reductions in the Blue Goose
poultry business, as well as a reduction of overhead expenses.
Unit Sales
Contribution Margins
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Blue Goose achieved a positive contribution margin of $1.9 million on sales
of $44.4 million, compared with a negative contribution margin of $6.1 million on sales of $61.4 million during the same period
of the prior year.
Beef sales decreased by $2.4 million or 18%, compared with the same period of the prior year. The decrease resulted from the
winding down of cattle operations on Manitoulin Island which was initiated in 2014, as well as the sale of the U.S. Wagyu
business previously conducted through Emma Farms and Owl Creek, which together contributed revenue of $2.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net of these
amounts, sales decreased by approximately 2% over the same period of the prior year. Blue Goose is focused on the continuing
expansion of its organic beef production capacity.
Chicken sales decreased by $8.2 million or 47% due to a planned exiting of unprofitable SKUs. Blue Goose’s chicken business
will remain focused on its profitable SKUs, including both fresh poultry and consumer packaged goods. Blue Goose has
achieved significant operating efficiencies and cost reductions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which it
expects will result in higher contribution margins for poultry on a going forward basis.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 30
Fish sales increased by $1.2 million or 55%, reflecting significant physical growth of fish stock, rendering additional market-
ready inventory. Blue Goose has focused on selling whole fish and moving away from further processing its harvest, resulting in
lower average revenue per pound, compared with sales in the same period of the prior year.
Feed sales decreased by $5.8 million or 24% as a result of a local outbreak of the avian flu which affected the local market and
correlated demand for feed in the second quarter of 2015.
General and Administrative Expenses
Consistent with initiatives undertaken by other operating segments of Dundee Corporation, Blue Goose has undertaken an
assessment of its administrative costs with a mandate of improving efficiencies. During the nine months ended September 30,
2015, general and administrative expenses decreased to $5.4 million, compared with general and administrative expenses of $6.4
million incurred in the same period of the prior year.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Changes in the Carrying Value of Land and Other Capital Assets
Blue Goose has acquired high quality, productive land acreage which provides quality hay for winter cattle feeding.
Landholdings at September 30, 2015 were comprised of approximately 1.2 million acres, including both freehold (deeded) acres
and leasehold acreage in British Columbia, Ontario and Colorado.
As previously discussed, during the second quarter of 2015, Blue Goose divested its U.S. Wagyu business, including all of its
U.S. landholdings in Colorado. Blue Goose is also continuing to divest its non-strategic landholdings in northern Ontario.
Changes in Livestock Carrying Values
Blue Goose has increased its herd count to 13,612 as at September 30, 2015 from 11,724 at December 31, 2014. This increase is
net of the sale of the assets of Emma Farms, which included 1,054 head of Wagyu cattle. The company will continue to increase
the size of its organic cattle herd to support future sales growth.

Corporate Debt
On May 26, 2015, Blue Goose Cattle Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Blue Goose, entered into a credit facility with a Canadian
Schedule I Chartered Bank. The credit facility provides the subsidiary with (i) a $7.5 million demand revolving credit facility
bearing interest at prime plus 0.50%, thereby increasing borrowing availability from the previous revolving demand credit facility
of $5.5 million; (ii) a $4.7 million one-time advance for the purchase of certain real estate property, which amount bears interest
at prime plus 1.50%, formalizing the provisional promissory note arrangement in the amount of $5.0 million established earlier in
the year; (iii) a one-time capital expenditure advance of $0.6 million, bearing interest at prime plus 1.50%; and (iv) a revolving
facility of up to $0.5 million for the purchase of machinery and equipment, bearing interest at prime plus 0.50%. At September
30, 2015, the subsidiary had borrowed $6.5 million pursuant to the $7.5 million demand revolving credit facility and it had drawn
$4.6 million and $0.5 million pursuant to the one-time advance arrangements as described above to fund the acquisition of certain
real estate and the related capital expenditures required on the property acquired. The credit facility is secured against all of the
assets of Blue Goose Cattle Company Ltd. In addition, Blue Goose has provided a guarantee for up to $3.5 million as further
security against the credit facility.
Through its U.S. subsidiaries, Blue Goose had entered into a US$6.0 million fixed term mortgage facility to finance the
acquisition of property in Colorado, and a US$1.0 million facility to support its Wagyu cattle operations. At the time of the sale
of the property and associated Wagyu cattle operations, as previously mentioned, aggregate amounts borrowed pursuant to these
facilities were $7.9 million. Concurrent with the closing of the sale of the property and the associated operations, amounts
borrowed under these arrangements were fully repaid and the associated obligations were released.
Blue Goose had also entered into a $7.0 million demand fixed term debt facility and a $1.0 million demand revolving credit
facility to support the operations of its Commonwealth aggregates business. Amounts borrowed pursuant to these arrangements
immediately prior to the sale of the Commonwealth business, as previously mentioned, were $7.4 million. Concurrent with
completion of the sale of Commonwealth, all amounts borrowed pursuant to these arrangements were repaid, and the loan
arrangements were terminated.
Blue Goose and its subsidiaries have established credit facilities of up to $24.8 million with a leading lender to the agricultural
sector that require the maintenance of certain financial covenants customary to such loan arrangements, including the
maintenance of certain interest coverage ratios in excess of specified amounts and covenants that limit the amount of liabilities
that may be assumed by Blue Goose or its subsidiaries. The loan arrangements also oblige Blue Goose and its subsidiaries to
comply with certain reporting requirements, including the delivery of financial information and debt covenant certification as
provided for in the loan arrangements. At September 30, 2015, $22.7 million of debt in Blue Goose and some of its subsidiaries
was in default of certain financial covenant requirements pursuant to these arrangements. With the knowledge of the lenders,
Blue Goose and its subsidiaries are actively engaged in ensuring that deficiencies are rectified. The lending institutions to Blue
Goose do not have recourse to the Corporation in respect of any of the amounts borrowed by Blue Goose and its subsidiaries.
Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blue Goose have entered into demand credit facilities in order to provide working capital to
facilitate underlying operations. Borrowings under these arrangements bear interest at a rate per annum of prime. These demand
revolving credit facilities are secured by a general security agreement against all of the assets of the underlying subsidiaries, and
are guaranteed by Blue Goose. At September 30, 2015, Blue Goose and its subsidiaries had borrowed $7.2 million pursuant to
these arrangements.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 32
AGRIMARINE HOLDINGS INC.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On July 3, 2014, the Corporation acquired control of AgriMarine following the conversion of previously issued convertible notes,
following which the Corporation began to consolidate the operations of this entity. As a result, the operations for the
comparative period outlined below represent the results of AgriMarine for the period between acquisition of control on July 3,
2014 to September 30, 2014, whereas the results in 2015 include the results of a full nine months of operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, AgriMarine incurred a net loss of $21.9 million attributable to owners of
Dundee Corporation. On May 23, 2015, AgriMarine Technologies executed definitive transaction documents for the
manufacture and sale of two closed-containment tanks to a third-party in Norway as part of a collaborative research and
development project. These arrangements replaced what had been originally conceived by AgriMarine as a future royalty and
master license agreement with the same third-party, and which had been carried at a value of $13.6 million. Accordingly, during
the second quarter of 2015, AgriMarine accelerated the depreciation of the intangible asset by $13.6 million, bringing its future
value to zero. In addition, during the third quarter of 2015, AgriMarine wrote down certain capital assets by a further $4.5
million after a reassessment of their future value to current operations. After adjusting for these one-time charges, operating
losses attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation were approximately $3.8 million, compared with operating losses of $2.5
million in the comparative period of 2014.
Contribution Margins
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, AgriMarine generated revenue of $4.9 million and negative contribution
margins before fair value changes and writedowns of $0.1 million. The volume of fish sold during the nine months ended
September 30, 2015 was 663,000 kilograms, representing an average selling price of $7.16 per kilogram. The cost of sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 2015 before inventory writedowns was $5.0 million.

The carrying value of AgriMarine’s biological assets and inventory at September 30, 2015 was $8.5 million, an increase of $2.9
million from values of $5.6 million at December 31, 2014. AgriMarine is actively building up its biological assets to meet future
demand, which is expected to occur towards the end of 2015. Included in these initiatives is the addition of two closed-
containment tanks at its West Coast Fishculture site to increase AgriMarine’s biomass capacity.
DUNDEE 360 REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee 360 generated a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee
Corporation of $11.7 million. Dundee 360 reported a net operating loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $3.0
million in the comparative period of the prior year, representing losses incurred by Dundee 360 since July 2, 2014, the effective
date of the Corporation’s acquisition of control of Dundee 360.
Operating losses in the first nine months of 2015 include $9.5 million of depreciation costs associated with the amortization of
certain intangible assets obtained as part of the July 2014 acquisition of control as outlined above.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 34
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blueprint Global Marketing Ltd. (“Blueprint”), Dundee 360 may be awarded the exclusive
right to the sales and marketing of large condominium projects. These activities generated revenues of $0.5 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2015. Dundee 360 is actively working on a new strategic business plan for its Blueprint
activities that is focused on future growth potential with the ability to create synergies with Dundee 360’s other core business
areas.
Hospitality and Asset Management Activities
Hospitality and asset management activities encompass the management and operations of international hotel, resort, residential
and commercial properties.
Dundee 360 has entered into a series of agreements with members of Enchantment Group, a resort company based in the United
States to manage the “Enchantment Resort” and the associated “Mii amo” destination spa in Sedona, Arizona and the “Tides
Inn” in Virginia. These arrangements expire in May 2025. As part of these arrangements, Dundee 360 has agreed to prepare a
plan for redevelopment in exchange for an option to acquire an interest in the Tides Resort and Tides Inn. The option, which
expires in November 2015, carries a penalty of $1.0 million if such option is not exercised. Negotiations are currently underway
to mutually agree upon the underlying value of the asset and the related re-development plan for the project which will impact
Dundee 360’s decision on whether to exercise the option. Accordingly, Dundee 360 has not recorded a liability in respect of this
option payment. Under the terms of these arrangements, Dundee 360 is also committed to assume 50% of any operating losses
incurred by the Tides Inn for a period of up to three years commencing November 13, 2015, which is currently estimated at
US$2.0 million in total.
Pursuant to an agreement with Northlight Asset Management II LLC, the controlling shareholder of Seven Canyons Golf Course
in Sedona, Arizona, Dundee 360 will manage the property for an initial term of 30 years ending in May 2043. Furthermore, in
January 2015, Dundee 360 entered into a loan agreement whereby it advanced US$0.8 million to improve and redevelop
amenities on the property. This loan is due to mature in May 2020 (inclusive of two 12-month extension periods) and bears
interest of 15%, of which 8% is payable monthly and 7% is deferred and added to the principal balance due upon maturity.
In the second quarter of 2015, Dundee 360 added three new hospitality agreements as part of its focused strategy to grow its
recurring fee-based revenue activities. Under these agreements, Dundee 360 is to provide management services for a luxury
resort in the Bahamas and two resorts in Arizona. Revenues are earned as a percentage of the resorts’ annual gross operating
revenue, with one of the agreements subject to a guaranteed annual floor amount. Dundee 360 is entitled to receive incentive
fees if certain net operating income targets are met by the resorts.
Included in consulting and management fee revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, is a $4.0 million
termination payment received by Dundee 360 in respect of its arrangement with Ivanhoé Cambridge to provide hotel
management services for certain hotels that operate under the “Fairmont” and “Hilton” banners. In connection with the
termination, depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes $1.7 million of accelerated
depreciation relating to the value of the intangible asset previously attributed to the now terminated contract. The accelerated
depreciation reduces the carrying value of the intangible asset to zero.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee 360 generated total revenues of $7.6 million from hospitality and
asset management activities, inclusive of the $4.0 million termination payment.
Real Estate Development Activities
Parq Resort & Casino
Dundee 360 has entered into development and asset management agreements with affiliates of Paragon Gaming Inc. to
jointly develop and operate the resort site in Vancouver that will host the relocated Edgewater Casino and other recreational
and tourist facilities. The Parq Resort & Casino project has an estimated full build-out cost of approximately $630 million.
The project continues to proceed on schedule with expected completion of construction at the end of 2016. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee 360 earned revenues of $1.6 million in fees from this project, which is
calculated as a percentage of total construction costs.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 35
Edenarc 1800
Edenarc 1800 is a ski-in and ski-out resort project development in the French Alps. Sotarbat 360, a French entity domiciled
in Savoie, France, is the builder of the project. Dundee 360 is engaged as the development and construction manager,
earning fees for the services provided as a percentage of construction costs and is also responsible for the sales and
marketing of the project. Edenarc 1800 is a 9-phase project having an estimated remaining build-out cost of approximately
$60 million for the last five phases scheduled over the next three years, which is expected to generate fees of up to $1.9
million. The project is being financed directly by the builder or with other traditional bank financing. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2015, fees generated from this project totalled $0.6 million from the completion and delivery
of the project’s third phase, a 48-unit apartment and hotel complex. Dundee 360 has also commenced construction and pre-
sold 60% of the project’s fourth phase, for which delivery is expected to be December 2015, approximately six months
ahead of schedule.
In addition to providing the above services, Dundee 360 has a 45% equity interest in Sotarbat 360, subject to a priority
interest by the builder to a full recovery of all costs of development of the project. Dundee 360 accounts for its investment
in Sotarbat 360 as a real estate joint venture investment, with a book value at September 30, 2015 of $2.5 million. The
investment fluctuates on a monthly basis as a result of changes in Sotarbat 360’s profit or loss and foreign exchange as the
investment is denominated in euros.
Project Management and Procurement
Dundee 360 provides project management and procurement services to a number of hotels, including those owned by
Ivanhoé Cambridge, to oversee refurbishments and infrastructure capital projects for which it earns fees based on a
percentage of capital invested. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee 360 earned revenues of $1.9
million in fees from project management and procurement services.
Development in the Gangwon Province
Dundee 360 has signed a framework agreement with the Gangwon Province of the Republic of Korea pursuant to which
Dundee 360 will provide advisory services for the planning and development of a world class, year-round recreational and
mixed-use real estate development. The project is directly south of and in close proximity to the 2018 Winter Olympic site
of Gangneung, and encompasses approximately 600 hectares of land with 2.5 kilometres of prime beachfront on the East
Sea. Dundee 360’s planning and development services will provide the project with a master plan and related economics to
which the East Coast Development Company can structure financing and monetize Dundee 360’s investment.
On February 26, 2015, Dundee 360’s wholly-owned Korean subsidiary, Dundee 360 East Coast Development Company,
was granted official project developer status for this project and the first committed investment of ₩600,000,000
(Cdn$673,000) under the framework agreement was received in July 2015 with the next installment expected in December
2015.
Clearpoint Resort
Dundee 360 has an approximate 86% interest in Clearpoint Resort Limited, a Maltese corporation (“CRLM”), through
which Dundee 360 will develop the Clearpoint Resort project in Cavtat, Croatia, and in close proximity to Dubrovnik. A
master planned hotel, marina and recreational accommodations project, the Clearpoint Resort project has an estimated full
build-out cost of $185 million and requires land accumulation of 25.6 acres, of which approximately 5.9 acres is currently
owned. Amounts owing to the Erste & Steiemarkische Bank in respect of CRLM were fully repaid in April 2015, resulting
in the extinguishment of all debt arrangements and liens against the property. Dundee 360 is currently looking for potential
investors to fund the acquisition of the remaining land parcels and future development costs.
First Bay Resorts Limited
Dundee 360 has advanced approximately $2.2 million to First Bay Resorts Limited to finance the development of a second
project in Primosten, Croatia. Dundee 360 is currently assessing the opportunity to refinance a third party loan on the
project and convert its loan to an equity investment in the underlying development project.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 36
General and Administrative Expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee 360 reviewed the operating efficiencies in each of its business
divisions, with a mandate to optimize cost savings. As part of the Corporation’s cost-savings initiatives, Dundee 360 reduced
over $2.8 million in annualized overhead costs with a severance cost of $2.0 million that has been included in general and
administrative expenses in the current nine month period.
Opportunities in Cuba
Dundee 360 has entered into a joint venture agreement with an agency of the Government of Cuba to develop a number of
specific hotel properties in Cuba (the “Cuban Development Agreement”). The Cuban Development Agreement provides for the
construction of 11 hotels and real estate developments at four different sites and, at two of the proposed sites, the construction or
acquisition and operation of other major tourist and recreational facilities.
Pursuant to the Cuban Development Agreement, Dundee 360 currently owns approximately 61% of Vancuba Holdings S.A.
(“Vancuba”), the ultimate joint venture company that is undertaking the activities contemplated by the Cuban Development
Agreement. The activities of Vancuba are accounted for on an equity basis and have been included in the September 2015
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as a real estate joint venture investment with a carrying value of $0.3 million.
Dundee 360 and Vancuba hold a 30% equity interest in Bellavista Resorts S.A. (“Bellavista”). Bellavista has acquired land rights
for one of the proposed sites subject to the Cuban Development Agreement, pursuant to a long-term lease agreement with the
Government of Cuba. The Bellavista venture has been included in the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements as a real estate joint venture with a carrying value of $6.0 million.
In December 2014, the United States government announced the process of restoring international relations with Cuba. On April
14, 2015, the United States government also announced that it will be removing Cuba from its list of nations that sponsor
terrorism. Furthermore, on July 20, 2015, the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two nations was further
strengthened when the United States officially reopened its embassy in Havana, Cuba. As a result of these positive changes,
Dundee 360 is continuing to pursue various strategic financing and partnership alternatives to develop its assets in Cuba.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Real Estate Debt
Dundee 360, through its investment in a subsidiary, assumed a long term obligation with Erste & Steiemarkische Bank in Croatia
that is secured by land held in Croatia. In April 2015, Dundee 360 repaid the remaining principal amount on the loan plus
interest against amounts borrowed. All other loans and borrowings by Dundee 360 are short term in nature and are due within
the next 12 months.
Settlement of Compensation Earn-out Liability
On October 1, 2011, Dundee 360 acquired 100% control of 360 VOX Developments Inc., a privately owned development and
operations company. Included in the share purchase agreement was a compensation earn-out provision whereby the former
shareholders of 360 VOX Developments Inc. were entitled to $3.0 million if non-Cuban revenue exceeded $30.0 million before
December 31, 2016. During the second quarter of 2015, the Corporation settled the $3.0 million liability by issuing 256,420
Class A subordinate voting shares from treasury.
OTHER CONSOLIDATED BALANCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
General and Administrative Expenses
Generally, head office costs, including costs associated with corporate governance and related public company costs, are
accumulated and reported as head office costs and are not allocated to other operating segments. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2015, the Corporation reported general and administrative expenses of $19.2 million, compared with general and
administrative expenses of $4.7 million incurred in the same period of the prior year.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 37
The Corporation’s stock based compensation expense relating to awards made prior to the creation and subsequent distribution of
the Corporation’s interest in DREAM, is correlated to the market value of the underlying DREAM shares. These arrangements
are recognized as liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net earnings. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2015, the fair value of these liabilities decreased stock based compensation expense by $4.0 million, compared
with a decrease in stock based compensation expense of $9.7 million in the same period of the prior year.
In addition, during the first quarter of the prior year, the Corporation adjusted its estimate of incentive compensation, which
further reduced liabilities accrued by $6.0 million, with a corresponding reduction in general and administrative expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, incentive compensation was estimated at $1.5 million, causing a variance in
incentive compensation on a comparative period-over-period basis of $7.5 million.
Included in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are approximately $5.8
million of costs associated with the retention of new employees that have been tasked with the specific mandate of developing a
wealth management segment. These endeavours are expected to increase general and administrative costs by an additional $3.5
million throughout the fourth quarter of 2015.
Corporate Interest Expense
Corporate interest expense, before intersegment eliminations, was $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2015, a $1.2 million increase from the $6.5 million of interest expense incurred in the same period of the prior year, reflecting an
increase in the average borrowings over the respective periods.
Income Tax Recovery
The Corporation’s effective income tax recovery rate of 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (nine months
ended September 30, 2014 – effective income tax recovery rate of 9.6%) was different from the statutory combined federal and
provincial tax rate of 26.5%, primarily due to losses incurred by certain subsidiaries, the benefits of which were not recognized in
the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Deferred Income Tax Liabilities
The Corporation’s net deferred income tax assets at September 30, 2015 were $28.1 million, and represent deferred income tax
assets of $100.1 million, offset by deferred income tax liabilities of $72.0 million. This compares to net deferred income tax
liabilities of $40.2 million at December 31, 2014. Net deferred income tax assets increased as a result of changes in the fair value
of the Corporation’s investments. Components of the Corporation’s net deferred income tax assets are detailed in note 27 to the
September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Corporation’s aggregate income tax loss carry forwards at September 30, 2015 were $499.5 million (December 31, 2014 –
$288.2 million). Included in the Corporation’s deferred income tax balances is a tax benefit of $71.4 million (December 31, 2014
– $32.6 million) in respect of these tax losses.
Corporate Debt
Other than as described below, there have been no significant changes in the terms of the Corporation’s corporate debt
arrangements from those described in note 20 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2015,
the Corporation was in compliance with all financial covenants pursuant to these corporate debt arrangements.

Revolving Term Credit Facilities
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 38
On April 30, 2015, the Corporation amended its existing debt facility, favourably modifying the terms of certain financial ratios
that establish the Corporation’s borrowing capacity in correlation to the fair value of certain of the Corporation’s investments. In
connection with the amendment, the maximum borrowing amount available pursuant to the credit facility was reduced from $300
million to $250 million. Borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate
for loans plus 0.60% or, at the Corporation’s option, at the prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate or London Interbank Offered Rate
plus 1.60%, provided amounts borrowed are less than $140 million. If amounts borrowed exceed $140 million, amounts drawn
against the credit facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate for loans plus 0.75% or, at the
Corporation’s option, at the prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate or London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.75%. Unused amounts
available under the amended facility are subject to an annual standby fee rate ranging from 0.36% to 0.39375%. The amended
facility matures on November 11, 2016.
At December 31, 2014, the Corporation had 6,490 outstanding exchangeable unsecured subordinated debentures with a par value
per debenture of $1,000, maturing on June 30, 2015. Prior to June 30, 2015, debentures with a par value of $13,000 were
submitted for exchange pursuant to the terms of these debentures, requiring the Corporation to deliver 436 units of DREAM
Office Real Estate Investment Trust in settlement thereof. On June 30, 2015, the Corporation repaid the remaining $6.5 million
due pursuant to these debentures by delivering (i) a further 218,175 units of DREAM Office Real Estate Investment Trust with a
value of $5.3 million, being all of the remaining units of DREAM Office Real Estate Investment Trust held by the Corporation
on June 30, 2015; and (ii) cash of $1.2 million. The obligations of the Corporation pursuant to the terms of the debentures were
subsequently extinguished.
Debt of Subsidiaries

Results of Operations”.
Share Capital
Preference Shares
At September 30, 2015, the Corporation’s outstanding preference share arrangements were as follows:
Common Shares
As at September 30, 2015, there were 55,531,801 Class A subordinate voting shares and 3,115,232 Class B common shares
outstanding. At November 12, 2015, the number of outstanding shares had increased to 55,529,801 Class A subordinate voting

On April 14, 2015, the Corporation announced that it had received regulatory approval for the renewal of its normal course issuer
bid from April 16, 2015 to April 15, 2016. The normal course issuer bid allows the Corporation to purchase up to a maximum of

the time approval for the normal course issuer bid was granted. During the third quarter of 2015, the Corporation acquired

representing a cost of $9.73 per share.
In April 2015, the Corporation issued 256,420 Class A subordinate voting shares with a value of $3.0 million to certain
executives of Dundee 360. These shares were issued pursuant to the terms of the acquisition of Dundee 360 completed in July

exercise of options and it issued 45,013 Class A subordinate voting shares on settlement of deferred share units upon the
departure of a director.
At September 30, 2015, the Corporation had issued 1,272,157 deferred share units under its deferred share unit plan, each
deferred share unit of which tracks the value of the Corporation’s Class A subordinate voting shares. In addition, the Corporation
had awarded 1,285,079 deferred share units that track the value of a Class A subordinate voting share of DREAM. There were no
options outstanding as at September 30, 2015.
The terms of the Corporation’s share based compensation arrangements are summarized in note 27 to the 2014 Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at September 30, 2015, the Corporation had cash of $274.4 million, compared with cash of $245.8 million at December 31,
2014. Included in the Corporation’s consolidated cash balance is $190.5 million of cash used in the operating businesses of the
Corporation’s asset management and brokerage subsidiaries. These subsidiaries function in regulated environments and are
therefore required to maintain levels of capital in liquid assets, in accordance with regulatory requirements. The amount of
capital that exists within these regulated entities may dictate the level of business operations, including margin lending, securities
trading and corporate finance commitments. Furthermore, the ability to transfer cash resources out of these regulated subsidiaries
may be limited by their requirement to comply with regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2015 and December 31,
2014, the Corporation’s regulated subsidiaries exceeded their minimum regulatory capital requirements.
Certain of the credit facilities available to the Corporation’s agriculture subsidiary, Blue Goose, and to certain subsidiaries of
Blue Goose, require the maintenance of financial covenants that are customary to the nature of the underlying loan arrangements,
including the maintenance of certain interest coverage ratios in excess of specified amounts and covenants that limit the amount
of liabilities that may be assumed by Blue Goose and the subsidiaries. At September 30, 2015, Blue Goose and the related
subsidiaries were in default of certain financial covenant requirements in respect of $22.7 million of its debt. With the
knowledge of the lender, Blue Goose and its subsidiaries are actively engaged in ensuring that these deficiencies are rectified.
The lending institution to Blue Goose does not have recourse to Dundee Corporation in respect of any of the amounts borrowed
by Blue Goose and its subsidiaries.
Significant Sources and Uses of Cash
Significant transactions affecting cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are
discussed below.
Significant Cash Flows – Operating Activities
* Adjusted net earnings or loss are equal to net earnings or loss adjusted for items not affecting cash and other adjustments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, balances related to investment dealer activities, including client account
balances and brokerage securities owned and sold short resulted in net cash outflows of $30.1 million (nine months ended
September 30, 2014 – $5.1 million). The effect of changes in balances related to investment dealer activities will vary
significantly on a day-to-day basis to reflect the underlying business activities undertaken in that period. Cash flows from
period to period resulting from these types of transactions may not necessarily reflect any meaningful change in the
Corporation’s financial position, or that of its subsidiaries.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 40
Significant Cash Flows – Investing Activities
Cash required or derived from trading in the Corporation’s investment portfolio, including equity accounted investments,
will vary from period to period and is dependent on trading activity and strategies that may evolve in response to global
market conditions or otherwise. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation generated net cash of
$148.8 million from trading in its investment portfolio (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $155.2 million).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation invested $15.9 million into its resource properties,
compared with $143.5 million invested in the same period of the prior year. Reduced expenditures related to the
Corporation’s resource properties reflect the curtailment of expenditures in response to current economic conditions and
volatility in the price of oil and natural gas.
The net investment in livestock and agricultural assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $33.7 million,
compared with $12.0 million in the same period of the prior year.

Cash Requirements
The Corporation’s capital management and funding objectives include ensuring that the Corporation is compliant with all of its
ongoing obligations, including compliance with all applicable debt covenants, and ensuring that the Corporation is able to meet
its financial obligations as they become due. In determining its capital allocation, the Corporation considers relevant regulatory
capital requirements in order to effectively manage its capital markets business, and resources required for the development of
resource, agricultural and real estate opportunities. The Corporation’s capital management objectives also include ensuring that it
has sufficient capital available to benefit from acquisitions and other opportunities, should they arise, and ensuring adequate
returns for shareholders. The Corporation regularly assesses the allocation of its capital resources in response to changing
economic conditions.
The Corporation’s intention is to meet short-term liquidity requirements through funds from operations, working capital reserves
and operating debt facilities. In addition, the Corporation anticipates that its operations will continue to provide the cash
necessary to fund expenses and debt service requirements. Capital may also be generated through dispositions of investments as
the Corporation repositions its investment portfolio in a manner consistent with its stated strategy to maintain a conservative level
of debt, while ensuring that sufficient capital is available to execute the Corporation’s business plan at all times.
On a consolidated basis, the Corporation believes that operating cash flow, combined with available lines of credit and its
portfolio of investments provide sufficient resources for the Corporation to conduct its operations for the foreseeable future,
including supporting the capital requirements of its regulated subsidiaries, funding the payment of dividends and interest
payments on preference shares and debt obligations, and supporting subsidiaries in order to remedy excess leverage situations, if
the need arises. On an ongoing basis, the Corporation may also require cash to develop its energy, resource, agricultural and real
estate initiatives or to invest in other opportunities, including growth opportunities related to its portfolio of investments. If
required, the Corporation may consider alternative financing options for certain investment initiatives, including possible debt or
equity issuances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2014
Consolidated Net Earnings
During the third quarter of 2015, the Corporation incurred a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $235.9
million, representing a loss per share of $4.05. Included in the third quarter of 2015 results is the impairment of $132.9 million
relating to the Corporation’s investment in UHIC, net of the non-controlling shareholders’ share of the associated impairment in
the underlying asset.
After adjusting for the impairment as outlined previously, the net loss during the third quarter of 2015 attributable to owners of
Dundee Corporation was $103.0 million or a loss of $1.78 per share. This compares with a net loss of $78.7 million or $1.44 per
share incurred during the third quarter of the prior year. Consistent with year-to-date results, the net loss reflects the effect of
changes in the market value of the Corporation’s portfolio of investments at FVTPL, which depreciated by approximately $90.7
million during the third quarter of the current year, including $57.6 million related to the Corporation’s investment in DREAM.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Capital Markets Division
Financial Services Revenue
Investment banking revenue, including revenue from new issues and advisory services fees, was $3.9 million in the three months
ended September 30, 2015, a 59% decrease from the $9.5 million of revenue earned in the same period of the prior year. New
issue financings generated revenue of $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of 47% from
the $4.5 million earned in the same period of the prior year as subdued commodity prices and uncertain economic conditions
continued to suppress capital market activity. Consistent with volatility in advisory fee revenue on a year-to-date basis, during
the three months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee Securities earned advisory fees of $1.5 million, compared with $5.0 million
in the same period of the prior year.
Commission revenue decreased by 43% during the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $3.1 million, compared with $5.4
million earned in the same period of the prior year, consistent with restrained industry-wide trading activity.
Principal trading activities generated trading losses of $1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared
with $2.9 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting decreased facilitation trading losses.
Variable Compensation Expense
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, variable compensation expense was $3.3 million (three months ended
September 30, 2014 – $5.9 million), representing approximately 60% (three months ended September 30, 2014 – 54%) of related
financial services revenue, resulting in contribution margins of 40% (three months ended September 30, 2014 – 46%). The
decrease in contribution margin is a result of certain adjustments to the recognition of revenues completed in the prior year.

SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 44
General & Administrative Expenses
The capital markets division incurred direct general and administrative expenses of $6.3 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2015, compared with $7.0 million incurred in the same period of the prior year due to a reduction in trade related,
promotion, travel and employment expenses partially offset by higher professional fees.
The Retail Division and Other Activities
Management Fee Revenue
Management fees earned during the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased to $4.5 million, compared with $3.9
million earned in the same period of the prior year. Management fees and commissions were only partially impacted in the
quarter by advisor departures as the reduction in AUA and AUM occurred in late August 2015.
Financial Services Revenue
Commission revenue decreased by 24% during the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $4.9 million, compared with $6.4
million earned in the same period of the prior year.
Principal trading activities generated trading losses of $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared
with $0.7 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting decreased revenues from the portfolio of trading securities.
Variable Compensation Expense
Variable compensation expense was $5.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $6.4 million in
the same period of the prior year, representing approximately 63% (three months ended September 30, 2014 – 63%) of related
financial services and management fee revenue, resulting in contribution margins of 37% (three months ended September 30,
2014 – 37%). The current quarter’s variable compensation reflects the higher compensation levels that are inherent in the
acquisition of new retail advisors as well as the effect of reduced compensation as a result of principal trading activity.
General & Administrative Expenses
The retail and other division incurred general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2015, compared with $5.9 million incurred in the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to
increased employment costs attributable to divisional restructuring. Allocated expenses increased to $3.6 million from $3.1
million in the same period of the prior year.
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 45
DUNDEE ENERGY LIMITED
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, Dundee Energy incurred a net loss of $1.8 million attributable to owners of
Dundee Corporation. This compares to a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $0.2 million incurred during
the same period of the prior year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the third quarter of 2015, sales of oil and natural gas, net of royalty interests, generated revenues of $6.4 million, a
decrease of $2.2 million from revenues of $8.6 million earned during the same period of the prior year. The effect of lower
commodity prices decreased revenues by approximately $2.3 million although, consistent with year-to-date results, these
decreases were partially offset by increased production volumes, which increased revenues by $0.1 million.
Field Level Cash Flows and Field Netbacks
Field level cash flows in the third quarter of 2015, before realized price risk management arrangements, were $2.0 million, a 51%
decrease from field level cash flows of $4.1 million generated in the third quarter of the prior year. Lower realized prices from
sales of both oil and natural gas decreased field netbacks in the third quarter of 2015 to $8.80/boe, compared with $18.02/boe
earned in the third quarter of the prior year.

of 2015.
BLUE GOOSE CAPITAL CORP.
During the third quarter of 2015, Blue Goose incurred a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $1.1 million,
compared with a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $1.5 million in the same period of the prior year.
Revenues in the third quarter of 2015 were $14.0 million, a $5.8 million or 29% decrease from revenues of $19.8 million in the
third quarter of the prior year. Consistent with year-to-date results, the decrease reflects the streamlining of cattle operations out
of northern Ontario and the United States, as well as the exiting of non-profitable SKUs associated with chicken sales.
During the third quarter of 2015, Blue Goose generated a contribution margin of $1.5 million or 10.3% on revenue of $14.0
million. This compares to a contribution margin of $1.1 million or 5.3% on revenue of $19.8 million for the same quarter of
2014. By exiting unprofitable SKUs and making operational changes to reduce costs, Blue Goose has been able to increase its
contribution margin, despite lower sales volumes due to the planned exit from unprofitable SKUs. Late in the third quarter, Blue
Goose launched new consumer packaged goods, which should contribute higher chicken revenue and contribution margins in the
future. Blue Goose’s cattle operations currently sell all its available product and is looking to grow-out its herd to expand
revenues in the future.

Chicken sales volumes are significantly lower for the third quarter of 2015, compared with the same quarter of the previous year
as Blue Goose chose to exit unprofitable SKUs. Blue Goose has also exited many of its unprofitable consumer packaged goods
SKUs, and is currently in the process of relaunching this program. The fish division has focused on selling whole fish and
moving away from further processing its harvest, resulting in higher unit sales with lower average revenue per pound.
AGRIMARINE HOLDINGS INC.
During the third quarter of 2015, AgriMarine incurred a net loss of $6.1 million attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation.
The third quarter loss in the current year includes a depreciation charge of $4.5 million relating to certain capital assets that the
Corporation has determined have limited future value. After adjusting for this accelerated depreciation, AgriMarine’s net loss for
the third quarter of 2015 was $1.6 million, compared with a net loss of $2.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
CONTRIBUTION MARGINS
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, AgriMarine generated a contribution margin of $0.3 million on sales of $2.1
million, before adjusting for changes in the fair value of livestock and writedowns of biological assets. The volume of fish sold
in the quarter was 268,000 kilograms, compared with 238,000 kilograms in the same period of the prior year.
During the third quarter of 2015, AgriMarine recorded a writedown of $0.6 million at its West Coast Fishculture site related to
extraordinary livestock mortalities caused by difficult weather conditions and operational challenges. During the same period of
the prior year, AgriMarine had a $1.2 million writedown of its biological assets and inventory, largely due to mortalities of
salmon at its net pen fish farming sites, resulting from unusually high surface water temperatures. AgriMarine continues to
install new infrastructure and technologies to reduce the mortality rates on a go-forward basis.
A further writedown of $0.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2015, relating to AgriMarine’s operations in China, to
reflect the value that AgriMarine will realize on the wind up of its operations at this site.

DUNDEE 360 REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, Dundee 360 incurred a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee
Corporation of $3.9 million, compared with a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee Corporation of $3.0 million incurred
in the same period of the prior year. Operating losses include $2.5 million (third quarter of 2014 – $2.9 million) of depreciation
related to intangibles obtained as part of the acquisition of control of Dundee 360 in July 2014. Operating losses in the third
quarter of the current year include $0.7 million of severance costs related to cost-savings initiatives undertaken by Dundee 360.
Gross commission revenues for the listing, marketing and selling of real estate assets during the third quarter of 2015 were $21.0
million, compared with $20.9 million in the same period of the prior year. Commissions paid to associated brokers and agents in
respect of this revenue stream were $19.2 million during this period, providing Dundee 360 with a contribution margin of $1.8
million or 9%, comparable to the same period of the prior year. In addition, Dundee 360 earned $2.4 million of other revenue
(third quarter of 2014 – $2.1 million) consisting primarily of fees paid by its network of brokers and agents for the provision of
marketing, administrative and support services.
As a result of the termination of the contract with Ivanhoé Cambridge in the first quarter of 2015, revenues from hospitality and
asset management activities declined to $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with $1.8 million earned in the same
period of the prior year.

Operating results during the third quarter of 2015 include an impairment charge of $215.2 million against resource
properties associated with the Corporation’s investment in UHIC. The impairment charge is partially offset by a $56.5
million adjustment charge relating to amounts otherwise receivable from non-controlling shareholders of UHIC.
Included in net earnings or losses are amounts reflecting changes in the fair value of the Corporation’s direct investments in
public and private securities. As previously noted, changes in the fair value of investments are determined by equity and
credit markets and are expected to result in significant fluctuations in net earnings or loss. The Corporation believes that
equity and credit markets do not necessarily correctly reflect the underlying value of certain assets. As a consequence,
management of the Corporation believes that the amount of unrealized gains or losses that will be included in net earnings or
loss in any given period typically provides little analytical or predictive value to the readers of the Corporation’s financial
information.
The Corporation’s share of earnings or losses from equity accounted investments is included in the Corporation’s net
earnings or loss for each quarter. As with changes in the fair value of the Corporation’s investment portfolio, earnings or
losses from each equity accounted investee and dilution gains and losses from these investments will fluctuate from period
to period and may depend on market forces or other operating conditions that are not necessarily under the Corporation’s
direct control.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this MD&A or in note 32 to the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements,
there have been no significant changes in the nature of commitments, contingencies and off-balance sheet arrangements, from
those described in note 34 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”
and “Commitments and Contingencies” on pages 50 through 52 in the Corporation’s MD&A as at and for the year ended
December 31, 2014.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Other than as described in note 33 to the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no
significant changes in the nature and scope of related party transactions to those described in note 35 to the 2014 Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying MD&A.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and other items in net earnings or loss
and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates made by
management that are, by their very nature, uncertain. The Corporation evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Such

estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Corporation believes are reasonable under
the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and
the reported amount of revenues and other items in net earnings that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant judgments and
estimates made by management in the preparation of its financial information is provided in note 4 to the 2014 Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the
Corporation’s September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from those detailed in note 3 to the Corporation’s 2014
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-109, the Corporation has filed certificates
signed by its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer certifying that, among other things, the design of disclosure
controls and procedures and the design of internal control over financial reporting are adequate as at September 30, 2015.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the
reports it files or submits under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that
such information is accumulated and reported to management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow required disclosures to be made in a timely fashion. Based on their evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as at September 30, 2015, the Corporation’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation have also assessed whether there were any
changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. There
were no changes identified during their assessment.
MANAGING RISK
Except as otherwise disclosed in this MD&A, there have been no significant changes to the nature and scope of the risks faced by
the Corporation as described in the Corporation’s 2014 Annual Information Form under “Risk Factors” which is available on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com. These business risks should be considered by interested parties when evaluating the Corporation’s
performance and its outlook.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Dundee Corporation’s public communications may include written or oral forward looking statements. Statements of this type
are included in this MD&A, and may be included in other filings with the Canadian regulators, stock exchanges or in other
communications. All such statements constitute forward looking information within the meaning of securities law and are made
pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of applicable securities laws. Forward looking statements may include, but are not
limited to, statements about anticipated future events or results including comments with respect to the Corporation’s objectives
and priorities for 2015 and beyond, and strategies or further actions with respect to the Corporation, its products and services,
business operations, financial performance and condition. Forward looking statements are statements that are predictive in
nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”,
“believes”, “estimates” or similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Such statements are based on
current expectations of the Corporation’s management and inherently involve numerous risks and uncertainties, known and
unknown, including economic factors and those affecting the financial services, energy, resources, agriculture and real estate
industries generally. The forward looking information contained in this MD&A is presented for the purpose of assisting
shareholders in understanding business and strategic priorities and objectives as at the periods indicated and may not be
appropriate for other purposes.
A number of risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking
statements contained in this MD&A, including, among other factors, those referenced in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the
SEPTEMBER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 51
Corporation’s Annual Information Form, which include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions; the
Corporation’s ability to execute strategic plans and meet financial obligations; the performance of the Corporation’s principal
subsidiaries; the Corporation’s ability to raise additional capital; the Corporation’s ability to create, attract and retain AUM and
AUA; risks relating to trading activities and investments; competition faced by the Corporation; regulation of the Corporation’s
businesses; successful integration of the Corporation with acquired businesses and the realization of any anticipated synergies;
risks associated with the Corporation’s operating businesses and the Corporation’s investment holdings in general, including risks
associated with oil and gas and mining exploration, development and production activities, environmental risks, inflation,
changes in interest rates, commodity prices and other financial exposures; the availability and adequacy of insurance coverage for
the Corporation and its subsidiaries; maintenance of minimum regulatory capital requirements for certain of the Corporation’s
subsidiaries; potential liability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries under securities laws and for violations of investor
suitability requirements; and the ability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to attract and retain key personnel. The preceding
list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors that may influence actual results, and is compiled based upon information
available as at November 12, 2015.
Forward looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions about the future performance of the Canadian,
European and United States economies, which were material factors considered by management when setting Dundee
Corporation’s strategic priorities and objectives. In determining expectations for economic growth in the financial services,
energy, resource, agriculture and real estate sectors, the Corporation considered historical economic data provided by the
Canadian government and its agencies, and market and general economic conditions, which factors are unpredictable and may
impact the Corporation’s performance.
Forward looking statements contained in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and, while forward looking
statements are based on certain assumptions that the Corporation considers reasonable, actual events and results could differ
materially from those expressed or implied by forward looking statements made by the Corporation. Prospective investors are
cautioned to consider these and other factors carefully when making decisions with respect to the Corporation and not place
undue reliance on forward looking statements. Circumstances affecting the Corporation may change rapidly. Except as may be
required by applicable law, the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any such forward
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The preparation of the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires the
Corporation to make judgments in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. These
judgments, estimates and assumptions affect the Corporation’s reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and other
items in net earnings, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any. The Corporation evaluates its
estimates on an ongoing basis. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the
Corporation believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and other items in net earnings that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. There have been no significant changes in accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the
Corporation in the preparation of the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from those judgments,
estimates and assumptions disclosed in note 4 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

(“Commonwealth”), a subsidiary of Blue Goose Capital Corp., including its interest in the underlying aggregates business
operated through subsidiaries of Commonwealth, for total consideration of $11,894,000. The assets and liabilities of
Commonwealth were derecognized in the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements concurrent with

consideration received and the resulting gain, are illustrated in the following table.
In connection with the disposition, a subsidiary of the Corporation assumed a vendor-take-back mortgage arrangement
bearing interest at 7%, and with an initial term to maturity of 2.67 years, maturing in February 2018. Amounts receivable by
the subsidiary of the Corporation pursuant to this vendor-take-back mortgage arrangement, which have been included as
“Accounts receivable” in the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, are secured by a general security
agreement over the assets of Commonwealth and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to a subordination to certain third-party
lenders to these companies.
The $939,000 gain recognized on the disposition of the net assets of Commonwealth has been applied to reduce “General
and administrative” expenses in the September 2015 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (note 26).

5% non-controlling shareholders’ interest in AgriMarine Holdings Inc. (“AgriMarine”) that it did not already own for cash

surplus of $1,308,000. During the first nine months of 2014, DSTI had issued 63,615,477 subordinate voting shares from its
treasury, which resulted in an increase to contributed surplus of $9,849,000.

Plan of Arrangement with Oban Mining Corporation (“Oban”)
In August 2015, Oban completed a plan of arrangement pursuant to which Oban acquired all of the common shares of each
of Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation, Ryan Gold Corp. and Corona Gold Corporation in exchange for the issuance of
common shares of Oban from its treasury. The Corporation received 7,694,311 common shares of Oban on the exchange,
which the Corporation has classified as an investment at fair value through profit or loss.
Dundee Acquisition Ltd. (“DAQ”)
On March 5, 2015, the Corporation created DAQ, a special purpose acquisition corporation established for the purpose of
effecting an acquisition of one or more businesses or assets, by way of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization, or any other similar business combination (a “Qualifying Acquisition”). Dundee Corporation
founded DAQ with an initial subscription of class B common shares of DAQ with a value of $25,000 or $0.008 per share.
On April 21, 2015, DAQ completed an initial public offering of class A restricted voting units at $10.00 per unit, each unit
consisting of a class A restricted voting share of DAQ, and one-half of a warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to
purchase an additional share of DAQ at $11.50 per share, subject to certain conditions as outlined in the prospectus
supporting the initial public offering. DAQ raised aggregate proceeds of $112,300,000 pursuant to the initial public
offering, including proceeds received on the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to its underwriters. In connection
with the initial public offering and its role as sponsor of DAQ, Dundee Corporation acquired 430,750 additional class B
common shares of DAQ at $10.00 per unit.
At September 30, 2015, DAQ had 14,575,937 shares outstanding, comprised of 11,230,000 class A restricted voting shares
and 3,345,937 class B common shares. Dundee Corporation held 3,272,677 class B common shares, representing 22% of
the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of DAQ. Accordingly, the Corporation is accounting for its investment in DAQ
as an equity accounted investment.
The class A restricted voting shares of DAQ provide the holder thereof with the right to redeem their shares in the event that
DAQ does not complete a Qualifying Acquisition within 21 months from the closing of the initial public offering, or in
certain other conditions as outlined in the prospectus and, as such, the class A restricted voting shares of DAQ have been
classified as debt in DAQ’s financial statements. As a result, the equity of DAQ consists solely of its class B common
shares, of which the Corporation holds 98%.
In connection with the initial public offering, DAQ placed $10.00 per class A restricted voting share into an escrow account
to settle any redemption requirement. The Corporation, as founder and sponsor of DAQ, does not have access to these funds
to fund ongoing operations, including legal and due diligence work necessary to complete a Qualifying Acquisition.
Dundee Corporation has also executed a make-whole agreement and undertaking in favour of DAQ, whereby Dundee
Corporation has agreed to indemnify DAQ in certain limited circumstances where the funds held in escrow are reduced to
below $10.00 per class A restricted voting share.
Since its creation, DAQ has incurred costs, including costs associated with its initial public offering, such that at September
30, 2015, DAQ had a shareholders’ deficiency, of which the Corporation’s share is approximately $553,000. The
Corporation has reduced its carrying value in this equity accounted investment to below zero to reflect its share of the
deficiency as it has certain legal obligations to make payments on behalf of the equity accounted investment, including any
payments required pursuant to the indemnity as outlined above.
Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (“Dundee Precious”)
The Corporation previously accounted for its investment in Dundee Precious on an equity basis. As a result of the
repositioning by the Corporation of certain members of its senior management, the Corporation no longer has representation
on the board of directors of Dundee Precious, nor does it have the contractual right to appoint representation to the board of
SEPTEM BER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORAT I ON 64
directors of Dundee Precious. As a consequence, the Corporation has determined that it is not capable of exerting
significant influence over Dundee Precious and accordingly, the Corporation’s investment in Dundee Precious has been
reclassified and designated as an investment at fair value through profit or loss (note 9).
Paragon Holdings (Smithe Street) ULC (“Paragon”)
On December 17, 2014, Parq Holdings Limited Partnership (“Parq”), Paragon’s 74% owned limited partnership structure,

SEPTEM BER 2015 – DUNDEE CORPORAT I ON 66
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation increased its carrying value in undeveloped properties
by $72,635,000, of which $60,259,000 represents foreign currency translation amounts associated with resource properties
in foreign jurisdictions.
Impairment of Resource Properties – United Hydrocarbon International Corp.
The Corporation had previously announced that it was seeking to raise third party debt or equity of up to $250,000,000, the
proceeds of which would be used by UHIC in connection with its ongoing exploration programs. Following the sharp
decline in oil prices in late 2014 and continuing into 2015, the Corporation has not consummated a transaction. Current
market conditions do not support the underlying carrying value of the Corporation’s resources properties associated with its
investment in UHIC. As a result, during the third quarter of 2015, the carrying value of these properties was impaired by
$215,156,000, to their estimated recoverable amount of $235,909,000.
The recoverable amounts of these resource properties were measured based on fair value less costs of disposal, determined
by applying comparable valuation metrics as determined in capital markets to UHIC’s most recent prospective resource
estimates. The valuation methodology applied is sensitive to the response of capital markets of further volatility in the
pricing outlook for oil, which may result in additional impairments to the resource properties, or may also result in the
reversal of such impairment if the underlying volatility and/or the price of oil improves. In determining the fair value of the
resource properties, the Corporation used a valuation methodology that included unobservable inputs, and therefore has
classified the measurement of the asset at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have established credit facilities and other debt arrangements, the terms of which are
outlined in note 20 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than as described below, there have been
no changes to the terms of credit facilities and other debt instruments available to the Corporation and to its subsidiaries.
$250 million Corporate Debt Facility
On April 30, 2015, the Corporation amended its existing debt facility, favourably modifying the terms of certain financial
ratios that establish the Corporation’s borrowing capacity in correlation to the fair value of certain of the Corporation’s
investments. In connection with the amendment, the maximum borrowing amount available pursuant to the credit facility
was reduced from $300 million to $250 million. Borrowings under the amended facility bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the prime lending rate for loans plus 0.60% or, at the Corporation’s option, at the prevailing bankers’ acceptance
rate or London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.60%, provided amounts borrowed are less than $140,000,000. If amounts
borrowed exceed $140,000,000, amounts drawn against the credit facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
prime lending rate for loans plus 0.75% or, at the Corporation’s option, at the prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate or London
Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.75%. Unused amounts available under the amended facility are subject to an annual standby
fee rate ranging from 0.36% to 0.39375%. The amended facility matures on November 11, 2016.
Repayment of 5.85% Exchangeable Unsecured Subordinated Debentures
At December 31, 2014, the Corporation had 6,490 outstanding exchangeable unsecured subordinated debentures with a par
value per debenture of $1,000, maturing on June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, debentures with a
par value of $13,000 were submitted for exchange pursuant to the terms of these debentures, requiring the Corporation to
deliver 436 units of DREAM Office Real Estate Investment Trust in settlement thereof.
On June 30, 2015, the Corporation repaid the remaining $6,477,000 due pursuant to these debentures by delivering (i) a
further 218,175 units of DREAM Office Real Estate Investment Trust with a value of $5,256,000, being all of the remaining
units of DREAM Office Real Estate Investment Trust held by the Corporation on June 30, 2015; and (ii) cash of $1,221,000.
The obligations of the Corporation pursuant to the terms of the debentures were subsequently extinguished.
Loan Facilities, Blue Goose Capital Corp. (“Blue Goose”)
On May 26, 2015, Blue Goose Cattle Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Blue Goose, entered into a credit facility with a
Canadian Schedule I Chartered Bank. The credit facility provides the subsidiary with (i) a $7,500,000 demand revolving
credit facility bearing interest at prime plus 0.50%, thereby increasing borrowing availability from the previous revolving

demand credit facility of $5,500,000; (ii) a $4,675,000 one-time advance for the purchase of certain real estate property,
which amount bears interest at prime plus 1.50%, formalizing the provisional promissory note arrangement in the amount of
$4,988,000 established earlier in the year; (iii) a one-time capital expenditure advance of $551,000, bearing interest at prime
plus 1.50%; and (iv) a revolving facility of up to $500,000 for the purchase of machinery and equipment, bearing interest at
prime plus 0.50%. At September 30, 2015, the subsidiary had borrowed $6,523,000 pursuant to the $7,500,000 demand
revolving credit facility and it had drawn $4,613,000 and $512,000 pursuant to the one-time advance arrangements as
described above to fund the acquisition of certain real estate and the related capital expenditures required on the property
acquired. The credit facility is secured against all of the assets of Blue Goose Cattle Company Ltd. In addition, Blue Goose
has provided a guarantee for up to $3,500,000 as further security against the credit facility.
Through its U.S. subsidiaries, Blue Goose had entered into a US$6,000,000 fixed term mortgage facility to finance the
acquisition of property in Colorado, and a US$1,000,000 facility to support its Wagyu cattle operations. At the time of the
sale of the property and associated Wagyu cattle operations (note 4), aggregate amounts borrowed pursuant to these facilities
were Cdn$7,871,000. Concurrent with the closing of the sale of the property and the associated operations, amounts
borrowed under these arrangements were fully repaid and the associated obligations were released.
Blue Goose had also entered into a $7,000,000 demand fixed term debt facility and a $1,000,000 demand revolving credit
facility to support the operations of its Commonwealth aggregates business. Amounts borrowed pursuant to these
arrangements immediately prior to the sale of the Commonwealth business (note 4) were $7,394,000. Concurrent with
completion of the sale of Commonwealth, all amounts borrowed pursuant to these arrangements were repaid, and the loan
arrangements were terminated.
Blue Goose and its subsidiaries have established credit facilities of up to $24,750,000 with a leading lender to the
agricultural sector that require the maintenance of certain financial covenants customary to such loan arrangements,
including the maintenance of certain interest coverage ratios in excess of specified amounts and covenants that limit the
amount of liabilities that may be assumed by Blue Goose or its subsidiaries. The loan arrangements also oblige Blue Goose
and its subsidiaries to comply with certain reporting requirements, including the delivery of financial information and debt
covenant certification as provided for in the loan arrangements. At September 30, 2015, $22,650,000 of debt in Blue Goose
and some of its subsidiaries was in default of certain financial covenant requirements pursuant to these arrangements. With
the knowledge of the lenders, Blue Goose and its subsidiaries are actively engaged in ensuring that deficiencies are rectified.
The lending institutions to Blue Goose do not have recourse to Dundee Corporation in respect of any of the amounts
borrowed by Blue Goose and its subsidiaries.
Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blue Goose have entered into demand credit facilities in order to provide working
capital to facilitate underlying operations. Borrowings under these arrangements bear interest at a rate per annum of prime.
These demand revolving credit facilities are secured by a general security agreement against all of the assets of the
underlying subsidiaries, and are guaranteed by Blue Goose. At September 30, 2015, Blue Goose and its subsidiaries had
borrowed $7,233,000 pursuant to these arrangements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation purchased 55,000 Subordinate Shares, having an
aggregate stated capital value of $275,000, for cancellation pursuant to these arrangements. The Corporation paid $536,000
to retire these shares. The excess of the purchase price over the value of stated capital, which totalled $261,000, was
recorded as a reduction in retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Corporation purchased for
cancellation a total of 615,000 Subordinate Shares pursuant to its normal course issuer bid.
Shares Issued in a Business Combination
In July 2014, the Corporation issued 2,779,983 Subordinate Shares in connection with its acquisition of Dundee 360 Real
Estate Corporation (“Dundee 360”) (see note 5 to the 2014 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements). The Subordinate
Shares were issued with a fair value of $16.38 per share. In April 2015, the Corporation issued a further 256,420
Subordinate Shares with a value of $3,000,000 to settle share-based compensation arrangements with certain executives of
Dundee 360.
Share Purchase Plan
As part of its share incentive arrangements, the Corporation established a share purchase plan pursuant to which eligible
participants may contribute up to a specified maximum amount of their basic annual salary towards the purchase of
Subordinate Shares of the Corporation, either from treasury or in the open market, at the discretion of the Corporation. The
Corporation temporarily suspended participation in the share purchase plan during the first nine months of 2015. During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compensation expense associated with the Corporation’s share purchase
plan was $215,000 and $616,000 respectively.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Corporation impaired the carrying value of certain resource properties associated with
its investment in UHIC (note 13). The impairment resulted in a significant deficit in the shareholders' equity of UHIC.
Upon consolidation, the Corporation allocated $82,208,000 of the loss to non-controlling interests of UHIC, reducing the
carrying value of the non-controlling interests to $nil. The remaining loss is attributed to shareholders of the Corporation
because the deficit in UHIC is funded by debt instruments that the Corporation holds in UHIC, the terms of which are
considered to result in substantive ownership interests by the Corporation. The debt instruments are eliminated upon
consolidation.

The Corporation has a significant portfolio of investments in private enterprises, with substantial exposure to the
development of natural resource and energy sectors. During the second and third quarters of 2015, global economic
conditions continued to deteriorate, precipitating increased volatility in capital markets generally. Commodity prices have
been particularly affected by this volatility. These factors make the determination of appropriate risk premiums, cost of
capital, liquidity discounts and other key inputs to the Corporation’s valuation models inherently more uncertain.
Furthermore, in more stable market conditions, the Corporation was able to infer more concrete valuation inputs from
various observable sources, including public debt and equity markets, as well as comparable and/or precedent transactions.
Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2015, the Corporation determined that it was appropriate to transfer its portfolio
of private investments from level 2 to level 3. Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are considered effective from
the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer is identified. A summary of changes in the fair value of level 3
financial assets since the transfer from level 2 on April 1, 2015, is as follows:
Reasonably possible changes in the value of unobservable inputs for any of these individual investments would not
significantly change the fair value of investments classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Corporation defines the capital that it manages as the aggregate of its shareholders’ equity and interest bearing debt,
including outstanding preference shares. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Corporation’s capital as
at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital include (i) ensuring that the Corporation and all of its regulated entities
meet relevant regulatory capital requirements; (ii) ensuring that the Corporation is able to meet its financial obligations as
they become due, whilst ensuring compliance with all applicable debt covenants; (iii) ensuring that the Corporation has
sufficient capital to manage business activities in each of its operating segments; (iv) ensuring that the Corporation has
sufficient capital available to benefit from acquisition opportunities, should they arise; and (v) ensuring adequate returns for
shareholders. The Corporation regularly assesses its capital management practices in response to changing economic
conditions.
Certain of the Corporation’s subsidiaries are subject to regulatory capital requirements. Compliance with these requirements
requires that the subsidiaries maintain sufficient cash and other liquid assets on hand to maintain regulatory capital
requirements, rather than using these liquid assets in connection with its business or otherwise. As at September 30, 2015
and December 31, 2014, the Corporation and its subsidiaries complied with all regulatory capital requirements.

to these items as at September 30, 2015.
Legal Contingencies
As part of a business reorganization completed in 2011, Dundee Capital Markets Inc., the parent company of Dundee
Securities, agreed to provide an indemnity with respect to certain claims. In 2011, Sino-Forest Corporation (“Sino-Forest”)
was delisted from the TSX, following allegations of securities violations. One of the parties indemnified by Dundee Capital
Markets Inc. participated in underwriting syndicates in respect of several public equity offerings by Sino-Forest. The
indemnified party is a defendant in at least one lawsuit brought by shareholders of Sino-Forest, alleging securities law and
other violations. Sino-Forest received an order for creditor protection in March 2012 and its Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) plan was implemented in January 2013 and was recognized by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in March 2013.

In May 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission commenced formal proceedings against Sino-Forest and certain of its
current and former executives alleging fraud and securities law violations. In December 2012, the Ontario Securities
Commission commenced formal proceedings against Ernst & Young, Sino-Forest’s former auditor, alleging certain audit
deficiencies that allegedly amount to breaches of the Securities Act (Ontario); those proceedings were settled in September
2014, pursuant to which Ernst & Young paid a fine. The aforementioned shareholder lawsuit is a proposed class
proceeding. A settlement involving the members of the underwriting syndicates has been reached, subject to court approval
as part of the ongoing CCAA process.
The Corporation is also a defendant in various other legal actions. The defenses to these claims and the quantification of
damages are yet to be determined and the amount of the loss, if any, cannot be determined at this time. The Corporation
intends to vigorously defend itself against all legal claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be
ascertained at this time and the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of
management, based on information currently available, that these are not material liabilities, adequate provisions have been
made for any liabilities and the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position of the Corporation.
