SMART REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST | THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015 1

President’s Message

The third quarter of 2015 has been a very busy quarter for everyone at SmartREIT as we continue the integration of our acquisition of the former SmartCentres platform and property portfolio and I continue to be exceptionally pleased with how well the announcement and the transaction have been received across the business community. Ultimately, I believe this transformative transaction positions SmartREIT extremely well for the short, medium and long term.

Effective October, we increased our distribution from $1.60 per Unit to $1.65 per Unit, a 3.125% increase. This increase reflects my and the Board of Trustees continued confidence in the business and our ability to deliver Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) growth into the future.

Turning to operations, I am pleased to report another good set of results for the Trust for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. FFO per unit, our key measure of profitability increased by 10.2% over FFO per unit in the third quarter of 2014. This increase in FFO was the result of contributions from all of our internal growth drivers: rental increases from step rent provisions, lease renewals, earnouts, new development, refinancing, and also from acquisitions made in 2014 and so far in 2015.

Occupancy for the quarter was up marginally to 98.7%. Over the year to date, this reflects square footage becoming vacant across multiple sites with only certain of that square footage being able to be re-leased in the time frame available. 2015 has seen a number of retail bankruptcies, which reflects changing consumer trends, economic challenges, increased competition and poor retail execution. Ultimately, however, I believe the strength of our retail centres and in particular the presence of Walmart in 75% of our centres positions us very well to weather these changes. Our shopping centres are designed to provide everyday services to facilitate one stop shopping for the consumer. Nearly 100% of our shopping centres are anchored by either a Walmart Supercentre including a full service food store and/or another mainstream food retailer and further basic services such as pharmacy, beer and liquor stores, and fast food outlets are found in most of our centres. Year-to-date, we have already completed or are close to completing approximately 1,064,000 square feet of 2015 renewals (75%) at an increased rental rate of 6.2%. Ultimately, we continue to strive to balance our high level of occupancy and FFO stability with growth initiatives having lower risk.

During the quarter, we added a 227,000 square foot soon to be Walmart Supercentre anchored shopping centre in Maple Ridge, British Columbia at a total cost of approximately $59.3 million. As we near the end of the year, we are still actively searching for appropriate additional acquisition opportunities.

Sincerely,

Huw ThomasPresident, Chief Executive OfficerSmartREIT

We have continued to be active in managing our balance sheet and by the end of October, had refinanced all of our maturing secured debt in 2015. In total for the third quarter, we had obtained $108.8 million of new term financing, at an average cost of 2.76% versus $23.4 million of maturing term debt at an average cost of 5.93%, a very significant saving which will benefit years to come. Our unencumbered pool remains at $2.5 billion which will provide us with significant future flexibility, in addition to our $350 million unsecured operating facility which at the end of the third quarter remained unused other than incidental letters of credit. As at September 30, 2015, our debt to asset ratio has declined to 45.3% versus 45.4% at the end of Q2. Earnouts and developments resulted in 27,728 square feet of new tenanted space being added during the quarter at an average yield of 8.2%, and we currently have commitments for development and Earnout space for the balance of the year and 2016 totalling approximately 335,000 square feet at an average yield of 6.4%.

Construction of the first phase of the VMC continues to progress very well, with the main tower now fully complete and glazing also complete for the main tower. Handover to KPMG is still expected in the spring of 2016, with the opening targeted for the fall of 2016. We are continuing our discussions about a second office tower on the site with two lead tenants and are at the finalization of Letters of Intent and the lease negotiation stage for an approximately 200,000 square foot purpose built building which would be fully leased before construction commences. For the Studio Centre site, we have recently received planning approval for the project at Toronto City Council, subject only to the relevant appeals’ process. Overall, we are very excited about this innovative project and expect development to begin in 2016. The VMC and Studio Centre sites are just two of a number of mixed use opportunities SmartREIT holds and work is under way to develop a comprehensive analysis of these opportunities which we will be able to discuss in the coming months.

Our Toronto and Montreal Premium Outlets sites continue to perform very well, with the Toronto site full with quality long term tenants and the Montreal site now virtually full with tenants such as Gucci, Hugo Boss, and Under Armour having opened in the last few weeks. In addition, we continue to look for other sites to add to this portfolio.

As we look forward, I continue to be grateful to our Associates for their hard work and continued commitment to our values, our operating and financial partners for the continued support and our Board of Trustees for their leadership and guidance. And finally, thank you to all of our loyal tenants and customers for your business and our Unitholders for trusting us with your precious investment funds.

SMART REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST | THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015 3

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OFOPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONFOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") sets out Smart Real Estate Investment Trust's ("SmartREIT" or the "Trust",formerly known as Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust) strategies and provides an analysis of the financial performance and financialcondition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the risks facing the business and management's outlook.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Trust's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31,2014 and 2013 and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (collectively the "consolidated financialstatements") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the notes contained therein. Such consolidated financialstatements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to the preparationof interim condensed consolidated financial statements, International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting",as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The Canadian dollar is the functional and reporting currency forpurposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements.

This MD&A is dated November 4, 2015, which is the date of the press release announcing the Trust's results for the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2015. Disclosure contained in this MD&A is current to that date, unless otherwise noted.

Readers are cautioned that certain terms used in this MD&A such as Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Adjusted Funds From Operations("AFFO"), Net Operating Income ("NOI"), "Interest Coverage", "Aggregate Assets", "Gross Book Value", "Debt to Service", AdjustedEarnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), "Secured Indebtedness", "Payout Ratio", andany related per Variable Voting Unit of the Trust (a "Unit") amounts used by management to measure, compare and explain theoperating results and financial performance of the Trust do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore,should not be construed as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities calculated in accordance with IFRS. Theseterms are defined in this MD&A and reconciled to the consolidated financial statements of the Trust for the three and nine monthsended September 30, 2015. Such terms do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similarlytitled measures presented by other publicly traded entities. See "Other Measures of Performance", "Net Operating Income", "Debt"and "Financial Covenants".

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that is comprised of net earnings less income taxes, interest expense, amortization expense anddepreciation expense. It is a metric that can be used to help determine the Trust's ability to service its debt, finance capital expendituresand provide for distributions to its unitholders ("Unitholders"). EBITDA is reconciled with net income, which is the closest IFRSmeasure (see "Financial Covenants").

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Trust, is a non-IFRS measure that is comprised of net earnings less income taxes, interest expense,amortization expense and depreciation expense, as well as gains and losses on disposal of investment properties and the fair valuechanges associated with investment properties and financial instruments. It is a metric that can be used to help determine the Trust'sability to service its debt, finance capital expenditures and provide for distributions to its Unitholders. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDAremoves the non-cash impact of the fair value changes and gains and losses on investment property dispositions. Adjusted EBITDAis reconciled with net income, which is the closest IFRS measure (see "Financial Covenants").

The ratio of Total Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is included and calculated each period to provide information on the level of the Trust'sdebt versus the Trust's ability to service that debt. Adjusted EBITDA is used as part of this calculation as the fair value changes andgains and losses on investment property dispositions do not impact cash flow, which is a critical part of this measure. See "FinancialCovenants" for a reconciliation of this ratio.

Certain statements in this MD&A are "forward-looking statements" that reflect management's expectations regarding the Trust's futuregrowth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities as outlined under the headings "Business Overviewand Strategic Direction" and "Outlook". More specifically, certain statements contained in this MD&A, including statements relatedto the Trust's maintenance of productive capacity, estimated future development plans and costs, view of term mortgage renewalsincluding rates and upfinancing amounts, timing of future payments of obligations, intentions to secure additional financing andpotential financing sources, and vacancy and leasing assumptions, and statements that contain words such as "could", "should", "can","anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts,constitute "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements are presented for the purpose of assisting the Trust'sUnitholders and financial analysts in understanding the Trust's operating environment, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.Such forward-looking statements reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management.

Additional information relating to the Trust, including the Trust's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014and Management Information Circular dated April 27, 2015, can be found at www.sedar.com.

Business Overview and Strategic Direction

The Trust is an unincorporated open-ended mutual fund trust governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta. The Units of theTrust are listed and publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "SRU.UN", formerly "CWT.UN".

The Trust's vision is to create exceptional places to shop and work. The Trust's purpose is to develop, lease, construct, own and manageshopping centres that provide retailers with a platform to reach their customers through convenient locations, intelligent designs, anda desirable tenant mix, and more recently to provide high quality office space for tenants to locate effective work spaces.

The Trust's shopping centres focus on value oriented retailers and include the strongest national and regional names as well as strongneighbourhood merchants. It is expected that Walmart will continue to be the dominant anchor tenant in the portfolio and that itspresence will continue to attract other retailers and consumers. The Trust's first newly developed office tower is the KPMG Towerlocated at the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre ("VMC") in Vaughan, Ontario.

As at September 30, 2015, the Trust owned 138 shopping centres with total gross leasable area of 30.8 million square feet and elevendevelopment properties, located in communities across Canada. Generally, the Trust's centres are conveniently located close to majorhighways, which, along with the anchor stores, provide significant draws to the Trust portfolio, attracting both value oriented retailersand consumers. The Trust acquired the right from the Penguin Group of Companies (formerly referred to as the "SmartCentres Groupof Companies" and hereinafter referred to as "Penguin") for a term that renews perpetually, to use the "SmartCentres" brand, whichrepresents a family and value oriented shopping experience. In addition, the Trust acquired the "Smart Urban" brand which will in thefuture be used to describe mixed use developments in urban settings, usually including a mix of retail, office and residential space.

AcquisitionsSubject to the availability of acquisition opportunities, the Trust intends to grow distributions, in part through the accretive acquisitionof properties. The current environment for acquisitions is very competitive with limited supply of quality properties coming to themarket. The Trust explores acquisition opportunities as they arise but will only pursue acquisitions that management believes areaccretive relative to its long term cost of capital. See the "Transaction" and "Subsequent Events" sections for further information onthe Trust's latest acquisitions.

Developments, Earnouts and Mezzanine FinancingDevelopments, Earnouts and Mezzanine Financing continue to be a significant component of the Trust's strategic plan. As atSeptember 30, 2015, the Trust had approximately 5.7 million square feet of potential gross leasable area that could be developed (ofwhich 4.9 million square feet relates to future estimated development area and 0.8 million square feet relates to lands under mezzaninefinancing purchase options "Mezzanine Financing"), including 0.2 million of a total 3.0 million square feet (the Trust's 50% share) ofoffice, retail and residential space projected to be developed in the VMC. Assuming the Trust continues to successfully manage thedevelopment of leasable area and raise the capital required for such development, the Trust plans to develop approximately 3.8 millionsquare feet of this gross leasable area internally ("Developments" including VMC), approximately 1.1 million square feet of the spaceto be developed and leased to third parties on behalf of Penguin (controlled by Mitchell Goldhar, a trustee and significant Unitholderof the Trust) and other vendors ("Earnouts") and approximately 0.8 million square feet of the space to be developed under MezzanineFinancing. Pursuant to the Transaction, all leasing and development work on behalf of Penguin and other vendors is now contractedto, and will be completed by, the Trust. Earnouts occur where the vendors retain responsibility for certain developments on behalf ofthe Trust for additional proceeds calculated based on a predetermined, or formula based, capitalization rate, net of land and developmentcosts incurred by the Trust. Pursuant to the Transaction, the Trust is now responsible for managing the completion of Earnouts and

Developments. Mezzanine Financing purchase options are exercisable once a shopping centre is substantially complete and allows thelender to acquire 50% of the completed shopping centre.

Professional ManagementThrough professional management of the portfolio, the Trust intends to ensure its properties portray an image that will continue toattract consumers as well as provide preferred locations for its tenants. Well-managed properties enhance the shopping experience andensure customers continue to visit the centres. Professional management of the portfolio has contributed to a continuing high occupancylevel of 98.7% at September 30, 2015 (September 30, 2014 - 99%).

Quarterly Financial and Operational Highlights

By selecting well-locatedcentres, the Trust attracts quality tenants at market rental rates.

As at September 30, 2015, the fair value of investment properties, including the Trust's share of investment properties in associates,totalled $8,105.9 million, compared to $7,992.3 million at June 30, 2015, a net increase of $113.6 million during the quarter.

The fair value of theinvestment properties is dependent on future cash flows over the holding period and capitalization rates applicable to those assets.

Valuation MethodologyFrom October 1, 2012 to the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Trust has had approximately 80% (by value) or 69% (by numberof properties) of its operating portfolio appraised externally by independent national real estate appraisal firms with representationand expertise across Canada. The appraisals were prepared to comply with the requirements of IAS 40, "Investment Property", IFRS13, "Fair Value Measurement", and International Valuation Standards.

The determination of which properties are externally appraised and which are internally appraised by management is based on acombination of factors, including property size, property type, tenant mix, strength and type of retail node, age of property andgeographic location. The Trust, on an annual basis, has had external appraisals performed on 15–20% of the portfolio that commencedin the first quarter of 2014, rotating properties to ensure that at least 50% (by value) of the portfolio is valued externally over a three-year period.

The remaining portfolio is valued internally by management utilizing a valuation methodology that is consistent with the externalappraisals. Management performed these valuations by updating cash flow information reflecting current leases, renewal terms andmarket rents and applying updated capitalization rates determined in part, through consultation with the external appraisers and availablemarket data. The fair value of properties under development reflects the impact of development agreements (see Note 4(b) in theconsolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2015 for further discussion).

Fair values were primarily determined through the income approach. For each property, the appraisers conducted and placed relianceupon: (a) a direct capitalization method, which is the appraiser's estimate of the relationship between value and stabilized income; and(b) a discounted cash flow method, which is the appraiser's estimate of the present value of future cash flows over a specified horizon,including the potential proceeds from a deemed disposition.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, investment properties (including properties under development) with a total carrying valueof $2,377.0 million (June 30, 2015 – $2,314.3 million) were valued externally with updated capitalization rates and occupancy, andinvestment properties with a total carrying value of $5,728.9 million (June 30, 2015 – $5,678.0 million) were valued internally by theTrust. Based on these valuations, the aggregate weighted average stabilized capitalization rates on the Trust's portfolio as at September 30,2015 and June 30, 2015 were 5.96% and 5.96%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Maintenance of Productive Capacity

The main focus in a discussion of capital expenditures is to differentiate between those costs incurred to achieve the Trust's longerterm goals to produce increased cash flows and Unit distributions, and those costs incurred to maintain the quality of the Trust'sexisting cash flows.

Acquisitions of investment properties and the development of existing investment properties (Earnouts and Developments) are thetwo main areas of capital expenditures that are associated with increasing the productive capacity of the Trust. In addition, there arecapital expenditures incurred on existing investment properties to maintain the productive capacity of the Trust ("sustaining capitalexpenditures").

Sustaining capital expenditures and leasing costs are funded from operating cash flow and, as such, normalized sustaining capitalexpenditures and leasing costs are deducted from AFFO in order to estimate a sustainable amount that can be distributed to Unitholders.Sustaining capital expenditures are those of a capital nature that are not considered to add to productive capacity and are not recoverablefrom tenants. These costs are incurred at irregular amounts over time. Leasing costs, which include tenant incentives and leasingcommissions, vary with the timing of renewals, vacancies, tenant mix and the health of the retail market. Leasing costs are generallylower for renewals of existing tenants compared to new leases. The sustaining capital expenditures and leasing costs are based onhistorical spend levels as well as anticipated spend levels over the next few years. The following is a discussion and analysis of capitalexpenditures of a maintenance nature (sustaining capital expenditures and leasing costs), as acquisitions and developments are discussedelsewhere in the MD&A.

Normalized sustaining capital expenditures totalling $2.9 million and normalized leasing costs of $1.1 million were included in thecalculations of AFFO compared to actual sustaining capital expenditures of $1.9 million and actual leasing costs of $0.1 million, whichwere included in investment properties and tenant incentives on existing properties during the three months ended September 30, 2015.For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, normalized sustaining capital expenditures totalling $8.6 million and normalized leasingcosts of $3.2 million were included in the calculations of AFFO compared to actual sustaining capital expenditures of $4.1 millionand actual leasing costs of $3.7 million, which were included in investment properties and tenant incentives on existing properties. TheTrust uses normalized sustaining capital expenditures and leasing costs to calculate AFFO on a quarterly basis and actual sustainingcapital expenditures and leasing costs to calculate AFFO on an annual basis. Since the Trust's investment properties are relatively newand in good condition – although management anticipates some increases for each of 2016 and 2017 – they are not expected to havean impact on the Trust's ability to pay distributions at its current level.

(1) Earnout development costs during the development period are paid by the Trust and funded through interest bearing secured debt provided by the vendors to the Trust. On completionof the development and the commencement of lease payments by a tenant, the Earnouts will be acquired from the vendors based on predetermined or formula capitalization ratesranging from 5.71% to 8.23%, net of land and development costs incurred. Penguin has contractual options to acquire Trust and LP Units on completion of Earnout Developments asshown in Note 12(b) of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2015.

Potential Future PipelineTotal future Earnouts, Developments and options under Mezzanine Financing could increase the existing Trust portfolio by an additional5.6 million square feet. This includes 0.2 million square feet of a total of 3.0 million square feet of office, retail and residential space(representing the Trust's 50% share) ultimately projected to be developed in VMC pending finalization of the development plan withthe City of Vaughan. In addition to these initiatives, the Trust is currently assessing additional future potential intensification opportunitiesthat may exist in its portfolio.

Of the future pipeline, commitments have been negotiated on 335,000 square feet.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

(1) The timing of development is based on management's best estimates and can be adjusted based on business conditions.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the future properties under development pipeline increased by 172,000 square feet toa total of 4,852,000 square feet. The change is summarized as follows:

(in thousands of square feet) Total AreaFuture properties under development pipeline – June 30, 2015 4,680Add:

The completion of these committed Earnouts and Developments as currently scheduled are expected to have an average estimatedyield of 5.8% in 2015 and 7.2% in 2016, which based on the committed lease arrangements with respect to such Earnouts andDevelopments should increase the FFO per Unit by $0.001 in 2015 (for the remaining three months) and an additional $0.009 in 2016(annualized) assuming annualized rents and a 55% debt to equity ratio.

Uncommitted PipelineThe following table summarizes the estimated future investment by the Trust in properties under development; it is expected the futuredevelopment costs will be spent over the next five years and beyond:

487 935 1,422 552 870

(1) Properties under development as recorded on the consolidated balance sheet totalled $738.0 million (including investment in associates of $115.0 million) which consists of costs of$552.8 million in the uncommitted pipeline, costs of $105.4 million in the committed pipeline, and costs of $120.4 million of future development land in VMC less $40.5 million ofnon-cash development costs relating to future land development and cumulative fair value loss on revaluation of properties under development.

Approximately 20.0% of the properties under development, representing 1.1 million square feet and a gross investment of $316.0million, are lands that are under contract by vendors to develop and lease to third parties for additional proceeds when developed. Incertain events, the developer may sell the portion of undeveloped land to accommodate the construction plan that provides the bestuse of the property. It is management's intention to finance the costs of construction through interim financing or operating facilitiesand, once rental revenue is realized, long-term financing will be negotiated. Of the remaining gross leasable area, it is expected that3.8 million square feet of future space will be developed as the Trust leases space and finances the construction costs except for thefirst phase of VMC which is approximately 40% leased to the anchor tenant.

Investment in Associates

In 2012, the Trust entered into a 50:50 partnership with Penguin to develop VMC, which is expected when fully developed to consistof approximately 6.0 million square feet in total on 53 acres of development land in Vaughan, Ontario. The Trust has determined it

has significant influence over the investment and, accordingly, has accounted for its investment using the equity method of accounting.Should there be any proposed activity that could cause the Trust to violate its real estate investment trust ("REIT") status as certaindevelopments may be prohibited under the specified investment flow-through ("SIFT") trust rules and other circumstances, the Trusthas an option to put certain portions of its interest in the arrangement at fair value and may be required to provide financing to Penguin.

Management considers VMC as part of its normal portfolio and does not distinguish it from its other operations. For the purpose ofthis MD&A, information about VMC has been included in the "Investment Properties", "Debt", "Results of Operations" and "OtherMeasures of Performance" sections, at the Trust's proportionate share.

The first new development by the joint venture is a 360,000 square foot office complex with KPMG as lead tenant, which commencedconstruction in the first quarter of 2014. The site will contain the terminus of the Spadina-York University subway extension. Thesubway station is expected to open in late 2017. On January 19, 2015, the Trust completed development financing of approximately$189.0 million, of which the Trust's share is 50%, which bears an interest rate of banker's acceptance rates plus 1.40%, is secured bya first charge over the property and matures on January 16, 2019. On February 27, 2015, the Trust entered into an agreement to fixthe banker's acceptance rate at 1.48%, which resulted in a fixed effective interest rate of 2.88% locked for the term and extended theloan maturity date to January 16, 2020. The financing comprises pre-development, construction and letters of credit facilities. Theobligations of the credit facilities are joint and several to each of the VMC general partners. As at September 30, 2015, the remainingunused development facility was $157.2 million, of which the Trust's share is 50%.

Secured debt bears interest at a weighted average contractual interest rate of 3.85% (June 30, 2015 – 3.99%) and matures on variousdates from 2016 to 2031. Including acquisition date fair value adjustments, the effective weighted average interest rate on secured debtis 3.83% (June 30, 2015 – 3.97%). The weighted average years to maturity, including the timing for payments of principal amortizationand debt maturing, is 5.6 years (June 30, 2015 – 5.7 years).

During the quarter, the Trust obtained secured loans totalling $108.8 million, with an average term of 6.0 years and a weighted averageinterest rate of 2.76%.

The Trust continues to have access to secured debt due to its strong tenant base and high occupancy levels at mortgage loan levelsranging from 60% to 70% of loan to value. Secured debt maturities remain low for the next several years with no secured debt maturingin the remainder of 2015. If maturing mortgages in 2016 were refinanced at a 10-year rate of 3.35%, annualized FFO would increaseby $0.009 per Unit.

Financial Covenants

The unsecured operating facility as well as unsecured debentures contain numerous terms and covenants that limit the discretion ofmanagement with respect to certain business matters. These covenants could in certain circumstances place restrictions on, amongother things, the ability of the Trust to create liens or other encumbrances, to pay distributions on its Units or make certain otherpayments, investments, loans and guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with another entity.

In addition, the operating facility and unsecured debentures contain a number of financial covenants that require the Trust to meetcertain financial ratios and financial condition tests. A failure to comply with the obligations in the operating facility and unsecureddebentures could result in a default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in a reduction or termination of distributions by theTrust and permit acceleration of the relevant indebtedness.

As stipulated by the declaration of trust governing the Trust (the "Declaration of Trust"), the Trust monitors its capital structure basedon the following ratios: interest coverage ratio, debt to gross book value, debt to aggregate assets, and debt to adjusted EBITDA. Theseratios are used by the Trust to manage an acceptable level of leverage and are not considered measures in accordance with IFRS, noris there an equivalent IFRS measure. Those ratios are as follows:

September 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014Interest coverage ratio 3.1X 2.9X 2.7XDebt to aggregate assets 45.3% 45.4% 42.8%Debt to gross book value (excluding convertible debentures) 52.8% 53.0% 50.5%Debt to gross book value (including convertible debentures) 52.8% 53.0% 51.4%Debt to adjusted EBITDA 8.4X 8.5X 7.4X

The following are the significant financial covenants that the Trust is required by its operating line lenders to maintain: debt to aggregateassets of not more than 65%; secured debt to aggregate assets of not more than 40%; adjusted EBITDA to debt service of not lessthan 1.5 (fixed charge coverage ratio); unencumbered investment properties value to consolidated unsecured debt of not less than 1.4;and Unitholders' equity of not less than $2,000 million.

Those ratios are as follows:

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Trust had the following capital resources available:

405,987 374,302

On the assumption that occupancy levels remain strong and that the Trust will be able to obtain financing on reasonable terms, theTrust anticipates meeting all current and future obligations. Management expects to finance future acquisitions, including committedEarnouts, Developments, Mezzanine Financing commitments and maturing debt from: (i) existing cash balances; (ii) a mix of mortgagedebt secured by investment properties, operating facilities, issuance of equity, and convertible and unsecured debentures; (iii) repaymentsof mortgages receivable; and (iv) the sale of non-core assets. Cash flow generated from operating activities is the source of liquidityto pay Unit distributions, sustaining capital expenditures and leasing costs.

As at September 30, 2015, the Trust increased its capital resources by $31.7 million, compared to June 30, 2015. The net increase incapital resources is mainly the result of the proceeds from issuance of secured debt of $108.8 million and the proceeds from repaymentsof mortgages and loans receivable of $11.9 million, partially offset by acquisitions and Earnouts of investment properties of $57.3million and repayments of secured debt and other debt of $42.4 million.

The Trust manages its cash flow from operating activities by maintaining a target debt level. The debt to gross book value, as definedin the Declaration of Trust, as at September 30, 2015, is 52.8%, excluding convertible debentures. Including the Trust's capital resourcesas at September 30, 2015, the Trust could invest an additional $811.5 million in new investments and remain at the midpoint of theTrust's target debt to gross book value range of 55% to 60% (excluding convertible debentures).

Future obligations, excluding the development pipeline, total $4,032.1 million, as identified in the following table. Other than contractualmaturity dates, the timing of payment of these obligations is management's best estimate based on assumptions with respect to thetiming of leasing, construction completion, occupancy and Earnout dates at September 30, 2015.

(1) Mortgages receivable of $125.4 million at September 30, 2015, and further forecasted commitments of $161.9 million, mature over a period extending to 2022 if the Trust does notexercise its option to acquire the investment properties. Refer to the "Mortgages, Loans and Notes Receivable" section for timing of principal repayments.

It is management's intention to either repay or refinance $154.2 million of maturing secured debt in 2016. Potential upfinancing onmaturing debt using a 65% loan to value and a 6.25% capitalization rate amounts to $84.7 million in 2016. In addition, the Trust hasan unencumbered asset pool, with an approximate fair value totalling $2,518.8 million (including undeveloped lands of $57.2 million),which can generate gross financing proceeds on income properties of approximately $1,600.0 million using a 65% loan to value. The unsecured debentures, construction loan repayments, mortgage receivable advances and development obligations will be fundedby additional term mortgages, net proceeds on the sale of non-core assets, existing cash or operating lines, the issuance of convertibleand unsecured debentures, and equity Units, if necessary.

The Trust's potential development pipeline of $1,577.0 million consists of $316.0 million in Earnouts and $1,261.0 million inDevelopments. Costs totalling $658.0 million have been incurred to date with a further $919.0 million still to be funded. The futurefunding includes $247.0 million for Earnouts that will be paid once a lease has been executed and construction of the space commenced.The remaining $672.0 million of development will proceed once the Trust has an executed lease and financing in place. Managementexpects this pipeline to be developed over the next three to five years.

Non-recovery of most of the remaining costs results from fixed recovery rates for some tenants and restrictionscontained in certain anchor tenant leases. In comparison to the same period of 2014, NOI increased by $25.8 million or 8.7% in 2015,primarily as a result of the growth of the portfolio due to acquisitions, Earnouts and completed developments.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI from continuing operations is defined as rentals from investment properties less property operating costs net of service and otherrevenues. Disclosing NOI contribution from each of same properties, acquisitions, dispositions, Earnouts and Development activitieshighlights the impact each component has on aggregate NOI. Straight-lining of rent and other adjustments have been excluded fromNOI attributed to same properties, acquisitions, dispositions, Earnouts and Development activities in the table below to highlight theimpact of growth in occupancy, rent, uplift and productivity.

The same properties' NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by 1.2% or $1.1 million over the same periodlast year primarily due to net lease-up of vacant space, rent increases in renewing tenants and step-ups in existing leases offset by higherbad debt expense. In addition, NOI before adjustments increased by 16.7% or $16.7 million during the three months ended September 30,2015 from $99.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to same properties' NOIgrowth of $1.1 million, acquisitions net of dispositions of $14.0 million and Earnouts and Developments completed during the yearof $1.5 million.

Leasing Activities and Lease Expiries

Leasing ActivitiesDespite the many challenges that face the retail industry, the Trust finished the third quarter with a slightly improved occupancy rateof 98.7% up from 98.6% in the second quarter. The demand for space was strong with approximately 104,000 square feet of spaceleased up during the quarter for occupancy in the latter half of the year. This solid performance is a reflection of the Trust’s highquality portfolio of shopping centres that is relatively new in age, conveniently located, and mostly anchored by Walmart. While somemoderate market turmoil can be expected to continue, the Trust will continue building on its strong relationships with tenants toproactively deal with leasing risk where it presents itself.

2015 Lease ExpiriesTenant retention continues to be a core objective for the Trust and leases maturing in 2015 were 75% renewed at quarter end. Oncompleted deals the increase in rent over the previous in place rents was 6.2%. Progress on 2016 lease maturities is also advancing wellwith 43% of such leases already being renewed.

General and Administrative

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, general and administrative costs totalled $5.7 million, which represents a $3.2 million increasefrom the same period in 2014. The increase of $3.2 million is primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $6.4 million andan increase in Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") expense of $0.5 million in part reflecting the performance of the Trust’s Unit pricerelative to the S&P/TSX Capped REIT index as part of the Trust’s "pay for performance" initiative, partially offset by an increase inexpenses allocated to property operating costs, capitalized to properties under development and charged back to Penguin and thirdparties of $4.5 million. General and administrative costs as a percentage of rental revenue for the three months ended September 30,2015 totalled 3.3% (three months ended September 30, 2014 – 1.8%).

Excluding distributions classified asliabilities, interest expense decreased by $2.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.The decrease is primarily due both to the refinancing of term mortgages and the replacement of existing unsecured debentures atlower interest rates.

Other Measures of Performance

The following are measures sometimes used by Canadian real estate income trusts ("REITs") as indicators of financial performance.Management uses these measures to analyze operating performance. Because one of the factors that may be considered relevant byprospective investors is the cash distributed by the Trust relative to the price of the Units, management believes these measures are auseful supplemental measure that may assist prospective investors in assessing an investment in Units. The Trust analyzes its cashdistributions against these measures to assess the stability of the monthly cash distributions to Unitholders. Because these measuresare not standardized as prescribed by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other trusts. These measuresare not intended to represent operating profits for the period nor should they be viewed as an alternative to net income, cash flowfrom operating activities or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. The calculations are derivedfrom the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, unless otherwise stated, do not include anyassumptions, do not include any forward-looking information and are consistent with prior reporting periods.

Funds From Operations ("FFO")While FFO does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, it is a non-IFRS financial measure of operating performancewidely used by the real estate industry. The Real Property Association of Canada ("REALpac") recommends that FFO be determinedby reconciling from net income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, FFO increased by $17.4 million or 26.2% to $83.9 million and by 10.2% to $0.54 ona per Unit basis compared to the same quarter of 2014 (three months ended September 30, 2014 – $66.4 million). The increase inFFO of $17.4 million was primarily due to an increase in NOI net of tenant incentive amortization of $17.6 million, a decrease ininterest expense net of yield maintenance on redemption of unsecured debentures and related write-off of unamortized financing

costs of $2.5 million, an increase in interest income of $0.2 million, and an increase in indirect interest with respect to the developmentportion of investment in associates of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million.

Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO")Since FFO does not consider capital transactions, AFFO is presented herein as an alternative measure of determining available cashflow. AFFO is not defined by IFRS. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, AFFO increased by $16.6 million or 26.4% to$79.7 million and by 13.0% to $0.52 on a per Unit basis compared to the same quarter of 2014 (three months ended September 30,2014 – $63.0 million). The increase in AFFO of $16.6 million was primarily due to an increase in NOI net of tenant incentive amortizationand straight-lining of rents of $17.6 million, a decrease in interest expense net of yield maintenance on redemption of unsecureddebentures and related write-off of unamortized financing costs of $2.5 million, an increase in interest income of $0.2 million, andan increase in indirect interest with respect to the development portion of investment in associates of $0.2 million, partially offset byan increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million, and an increase in sustaining capital expenditures and leasing costsof $0.7 million.

Weighted Average Number of UnitsThe weighted average number of Trust and LP Units is included in calculating the Trust's FFO and AFFO per Unit. Diluted FFO andAFFO per Unit are adjusted for the dilutive effect of the convertible debentures, vested Earnout options and vested portion of deferredunits, unless they are anti-dilutive. To calculate diluted FFO and AFFO per Unit for the three and nine months ended September 30,2015, vested deferred units and convertible debentures are added back to the weighted average Units outstanding, because they aredilutive. There were no vested Earnout options outstanding as at September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

The following table sets forth the weighted average number of Units outstanding for the purpose of FFO and AFFO per Unitcalculations in this MD&A:

(1) Internal expenses for leasing, primarily salaries, of $0.3 million were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and were eligible to be added back to FFO based on therevision to the definition of FFO, in the REALpac white paper published in April 2014 that provided for an adjustment to incremental leasing expenses for the cost of salaried staff.This adjustment to FFO made results more comparable between real estate entities that expensed their internal leasing departments and those that capitalized external leasing expenses.

(2) Indirect interest is not capitalized to properties under development of investment in associates under IFRS but is a permitted adjustment under REALpac's definition of FFO. Theamount is based on the total cost incurred with respect to development portion of investment in associates multiplied by the Trust's weighted average cost of capital.

(3) Diluted FFO and AFFO are adjusted for the dilutive effect of vested deferred units and convertible debentures, which are not dilutive for net income purposes. To calculate diluted FFOand FFO excluding adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2015, convertible debenture interest of $0.0 million and accretion expense of $0.0 million are added back tonet income and 648,837 Units are added back to the weighted average Units outstanding (three months ended September 30, 2014 – convertible debenture interest of $0.9 million andaccretion expense of $0.2 million, and 2,983,750 Units, respectively). To calculate diluted AFFO for the three months ended September 30, 2015, convertible debenture interest of $0.0million is added back to net income and 648,837 Units are added back to the weighted average Units outstanding (three months ended September 30, 2014 – $0.9 million and 2,983,750Units, respectively).

(1) Internal expenses for leasing, primarily salaries, of $0.6 million were incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and were eligible to be added back to FFO based on therevision to the definition of FFO, in the Real Property Association of Canada white paper published in April 2014 that provided for an adjustment to incremental leasing expenses forthe cost of salaried staff. This adjustment to FFO made results more comparable between real estate entities that expensed their internal leasing departments and those that capitalizedthe expenses.

(2) Indirect interest is not capitalized to properties under development of investment in associates under IFRS but is a permitted adjustment under REALpac's definition of FFO. Theamount is based on the total cost incurred with respect to development portion of investment in associates multiplied by the Trust's weighted average cost of capital.

(3) Acquisition costs relate to the costs associated with the acquisition of the Penguin platform and brand acquisition (see the "Transaction" section).(4) September 30, 2015 includes $10.8 million of yield maintenance costs and $0.2 million of accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs (nine months ended September 30, 2014

includes $13.3 million of yield maintenance costs and $0.5 million of accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs).(5) Diluted FFO and AFFO are adjusted for the dilutive effect of vested deferred units and convertible debentures, which are not dilutive for net income purposes. To calculate diluted FFO

and FFO excluding adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, convertible debenture interest of $1.6 million and accretion expense of $0.4 million are added back tonet income and 2,065,608 Units are added back to the weighted average Units outstanding (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – convertible debenture interest of $2.6 million andaccretion expense of $0.5 million, and 2,967,679 Units, respectively). To calculate diluted AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, convertible debenture interest of $1.6million is added back to net income and 2,065,608 Units are added back to the weighted average Units outstanding (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – $2.6 million and 2,967,679Units, respectively).

In any given period, the distributions declared may differ from cash provided by operating activities, primarily due to seasonal fluctuationsin non-cash operating items (amounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities). These seasonalor short-term fluctuations are funded, if necessary, by the revolving operating facility. In addition, the distributions declared include acomponent funded by the DRIP. Management anticipates that distributions declared will, in the foreseeable future, continue to varyfrom net income because net income includes fair value adjustments to investment properties, fair value changes in financial instruments,and other adjustments, and also because distributions are determined based on non-IFRS cash flow measures, which includeconsideration of the maintenance of productive capacity. Management will continue to assess the sustainability of cash and non-cashdistributions in each financial reporting period.

SMART REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST | THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015 29

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, AFFO exceeded cash provided by operating activities by $31.1 million, which isprimarily due to the redemption of deferred units of $6.0 million, and the changes in other non-cash operating items of $31.4 million,partially offset by deferred unit compensation expense of $1.8 million and Long Term Incentive Plan expense of $1.9 million.

Management determines the Trust's Unit cash distribution rate by, among other considerations, its assessment of cash flow as determinedusing certain non-IFRS measures. As such, management feels the cash distributions are not an economic return of capital, but adistribution of sustainable cash flow from operations. Management targets a payout ratio of approximately 82% to 87% of AFFO,which allows for any unforeseen expenditures for the maintenance of productive capacity. Based on current facts and assumptions,management does not anticipate cash distributions will be reduced or suspended in the foreseeable future. The AFFO payout ratio forthe three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 76.9% and 80.6%, respectively (years ended December 31, 2014 – 84.7%;December 31, 2013 – 88.6%).

Related Party (see also the "Transaction" section)

Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust in effect at the time of the Trust's last annual general and special meeting of the Unitholders heldon May 26, 2015 (the "Meeting"), Penguin was entitled to have a minimum of 25.0% of the votes eligible to be cast at such meeting(the "Voting Top Up Right"). As a result, the Trust issued 6,768,974 Special Voting Units of the Trust ("Special Voting Units") toincrease Penguin's voting rights to 25% in advance of the Meeting. These Special Voting Units are not entitled to any interest or sharein the distributions or net assets of the Trust, nor are they convertible into any securities of the Trust. Pursuant to the Voting Top UpRight, the total number of Special Voting Units is adjusted for each meeting of the Unitholders based on changes in Penguin's ownershipinterest. There is no value assigned to the Special Voting Units. In connection with the Transaction, the Voting Top Up Right wasextended for an additional five years provided that Penguin meets certain ownership thresholds in any given 365 day period duringsuch five years ("the Voting Top Up Right Extension"). The Voting Top Up Right Extension, together with related amendments tothe Declaration of Trust, was approved by a majority of minority Unitholders (i.e. Unitholders other than Penguin) at the Meeting. Asa result of the Voting Top Up Right Extension, and at the request of the TSX, the Trust also re-designated its trust units as “VariableVoting Units” effective July 8, 2015. Such designation will cease on the termination of the Voting Top Up Right in 2020. The VotingTop Up Right is more particularly described in the Trust’s management information circular dated April 27, 2015, which is filed onSEDAR, and is also summarized under "The Transaction". As at September 30, 2015, Penguin owned 22.7% of the aggregate issuedand outstanding Trust Units and 4,285,399 Special Voting Units. The 22.7% ownership would increase to 27.4% if Penguin exercisedall remaining options to purchase Units pursuant to existing development and exchange agreements. In addition, the Trust has enteredinto property management, leasing, development and exchange agreements, and co-ownership agreements with Penguin. Pursuant toits rights under the Declaration of Trust, at September 30, 2015, Penguin has appointed two Trustees out of seven.

The Trust has entered into contracts and other arrangements with Penguin on a cost-sharing basis for administrative services and onmarket terms for leasing and development services and premises rent. The Trust earns interest on funds advanced and opportunityfees related to prepaid land held for development at rates negotiated at the time the Trust acquires retail centres from Penguin.

In connection with the Transaction, previous contracts and other arrangements with Penguin have been replaced by the following asof May 28, 2015:

1) The Development and Services Agreement, under which the Trust and certain subsidiary limited partnerships of the Trusthave agreed to provide to Penguin the following services for a five-year term with automatic five-year renewal periods thereafter:

a. Construction management services and leasing services are provided, at the discretion of Penguin, with respect tocertain of Penguin's properties under development for a market based fee based on construction costs incurred.Fees for leasing services, requested at the discretion of Penguin, are based on various rates that approximate marketrates, depending on the term and nature of the lease. In addition, management fees are provided for a market basedfee based on rental revenue.

b. Transition services relate to activities necessary to become familiar with Penguin projects and establishing processesand systems to accommodate the needs of Penguin.

c. Support services are provided for a fee based on an allocation of the relevant costs of the support services incurredby the Trust. Such relevant costs include: office administration, human resources, information technology, insurance,legal and marketing. In addition, the Trust rents its office premises from Penguin for a term ending May 2025.

2) The Service Agreement under which Mitchell Goldhar, owner of Penguin, has agreed to provide to the Trust certain advisory,consulting, and strategic services, including but not limited to strategies dealing with development, municipal approvals, acquisitions, dispositions, and construction costs, as well as strategies for marketing new projects and leasing opportunities. The fees associated with this agreement are $875 per quarter for a five-year term.

The financial implications of related party agreements are disclosed in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financialstatements for the period ended September 30, 2015. See also the "Transaction" section.

Income Taxes and SIFT Compliance

The Trust is taxed as a mutual fund trust for Canadian income tax purposes. In accordance with the Declaration of Trust, distributionsto Unitholders are declared at the discretion of the Trustees. The Trust endeavours to declare distributions in each taxation year insuch an amount as is necessary to ensure the Trust will not be subject to taxes on its net income and net capital gains under Part I ofthe Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act").

Pursuant to the amendments to the Tax Act, the taxation regime applicable to SIFTs and investors in SIFTs has been altered. If theTrust were to become subject to these new rules (the "SIFT Rules"), it generally would be taxed in a manner similar to corporationson income from business carried on in Canada by the Trust and on income (other than taxable dividends) or capital gains from non-portfolio properties (as defined in the Tax Act), at a combined federal and provincial tax rate similar to that of a corporation. In general,distributions paid as returns of capital will not be subject to this tax. The SIFT Rules apply commencing in the 2011 taxation year. TheSIFT Rules are not applicable to a real estate investment trust that meets certain specified criteria relating to the nature of its revenueand investments (the "REIT Exemption").

The Trust qualifies for the REIT Exemption under the SIFT rules as at September 30, 2015.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting – NationalInstrument 52-109 Compliance

Disclosure Controls and Procedures ("DCP")The Trust's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have designed or caused to be designed, undertheir direct supervision, the Trust's DCP (as defined in National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annualand Interim Filings ("NI 52-109"), adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators) to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) material

information relating to the Trust, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to them by others within those entities,particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and (ii) material information required to be disclosed inthe annual filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. The Trust continues to evaluate the effectivenessof DCP and changes are implemented to adjust to the needs of new processes and enhancement required.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR")The Trust's CEO and CFO have also designed, or caused to be designed under their direct supervision, the Trust's ICFR to providereasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for externalpurposes in accordance with IFRS.

Inherent LimitationsNotwithstanding the foregoing, because of its inherent limitations a control system can provide only reasonable assurance that theobjectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management's estimates may be incorrect, orassumptions about future events may be incorrect, resulting in varying results. In addition, management has attempted to minimizethe likelihood of fraud. However, any control system can be circumvented through collusion and illegal acts.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing the Trust's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, it is necessary formanagement to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosureof contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The significant items requiringestimates are discussed in the Trust's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 and the notes contained therein.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies

The future accounting policy changes as proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) are discussed in the Trust'saudited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the notes contained therein.

Risks and Uncertainties

In addition to the risks discussed below, further risks are discussed in the Trust's Annual Information Form for the year ended December31, 2014 under the heading "Risk Factors" and the Trust's Management Information Circular dated April 27, 2015 under the heading"Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - The Acquisition - Risk Factors Related to the Acquisition".

Real Property Ownership RiskAll real property investments are subject to elements of risk. Such investments are affected by general economic conditions, local realestate markets, supply and demand for leased premises, competition from other available premises and various other factors.

Real estate has a high fixed cost associated with ownership and income lost due to declining rental rates or increased vacancies cannoteasily be minimized through cost reduction. Through well-located, well-designed and professionally managed properties, managementseeks to reduce this risk. Management believes prime locations will attract high-quality retailers with excellent covenants and will enablethe Trust to maintain economic rents and high occupancy. By maintaining the property at the highest standard through professionalmanagement practices, management seeks to increase tenant loyalty.

The value of real property and any improvements thereto may also depend on the credit and financial stability of the tenants and onthe vacancy rates of the Trust's portfolio of income-producing properties. The Trust's Adjusted Funds From Operations would beadversely affected if a significant number of tenants were to become unable to meet their obligations under their leases or if a significantamount of available space in the properties in which the Trust has an interest were not able to be leased on economically favourablelease terms. In addition, the Adjusted Funds From Operations of the Trust would be adversely affected by increased vacancies in theTrust's portfolio of income-producing properties. On the expiry of any lease, there can be no assurance that the lease will be renewedor the tenant replaced. The terms of any subsequent lease may be less favourable to the Trust than the existing lease. In the event ofdefault by a tenant, delays or limitations in enforcing rights as lessor may be experienced and substantial costs in protecting the Trust'sinvestment may be incurred. Furthermore, at any time, a tenant of any of the Trust's properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy,insolvency or similar laws that could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant's lease and, thereby, cause a reduction in thecash flow available to the Trust. The ability to rent unleased space in the properties in which the Trust has an interest will be affected

SMART REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST | THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015 33

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

by many factors. Costs may be incurred in making improvements or repairs to property. The failure to rent vacant space on a timelybasis or at all would likely have an adverse effect on the Trust's financial condition.

Certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related chargesmust be made throughout the period of ownership of real property regardless of whether the property is producing any income. Ifthe Trust is unable to meet mortgage payments on any property, losses could be sustained as a result of the mortgagee's exercise ofits rights of foreclosure or sale.

Real property investments tend to be relatively illiquid with the degree of liquidity generally fluctuating in relation to demand for andthe perceived desirability of such investments. If the Trust were to be required to liquidate its real property investments, the proceedsto the Trust might be significantly less than the aggregate carrying value of its properties.

The Trust will be subject to the risks associated with debt financing on its properties and it may not be able to refinance its propertieson terms that are as favourable as the terms of existing indebtedness. In order to minimize this risk, the Trust attempts to appropriatelystructure the timing of the renewal of significant tenant leases on the properties in relation to the time at which mortgage indebtednesson such properties becomes due for refinancing.

Significant deterioration of the retail shopping centre market in general or the financial health of Walmart in particular could have anadverse effect on the Trust's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Development and Construction RiskDevelopment and construction risk arises from the possibility that developed space will not be leased or that costs of developmentand construction will exceed original estimates, resulting in an uneconomic return from the leasing of such developments. The Trustmitigates this risk by not commencing construction of any development until sufficient lease-up has occurred and by entering intofixed price contracts for development and construction costs.

Joint Venture RiskThe Trust is a co-owner in several properties including a joint venture with Penguin to develop VMC, which is classified as an investmentin associates. The Trust is subject to the risks associated with the conduct of joint ventures. Such risks include disagreements with itspartners to develop and operate the properties efficiently and inability of the partners to meet their obligations to the joint venturesor third parties. Any failure of the Trust or its partners to meet its obligations, or any disputes with respect to strategic decision makingor the parties’ respective rights and obligations, could have a material adverse effect on the joint ventures, which may have a materialadverse effect on the Trust. These risks are mitigated by the Trust’s existing relationships with its partners. The VMC site could includecondominium, hotel and/or other developments, which may be prohibited activities under the SIFT Rules that could cause the Trustto violate its REIT status. In such circumstances, the Trust has an option to put certain portions of its interest in the arrangement atfair value to Penguin and may be required to provide financing to Penguin. The Trust will monitor the developments in VMC and takeproactive action to protect its REIT status, and will only exercise its put option if necessary.

Interest and Financing RiskIn the low interest rate environment that the Canadian economy has experienced in recent years, leverage has enabled the Trust toenhance its return to Unitholders. A reversal of this trend, however, could significantly affect the business's ability to meet its financialobligations. In order to minimize this risk, the Trust's policy is to negotiate fixed rate secured debt with staggered maturities on theportfolio and seek to match average lease maturity to average debt maturity. Derivative financial instruments may be utilized by theTrust in the management of its interest rate exposure. The Trust's policy is not to utilize derivative financial instruments for tradingor speculative purposes. In addition, the Declaration of Trust restricts total indebtedness permitted on the portfolio.

Interest rate changes will also affect the Trust's development portfolio. The Trust has entered into development agreements that obligatethe Trust to acquire up to approximately 1.1 million square feet of additional income properties at a cost determined by capitalizingthe rental income at predetermined rates. Subject to the ability of the Trust to obtain financing on acceptable terms, the Trust willfinance these acquisitions by issuing additional debt and equity. Changes in interest rates will have an impact on the return from theseacquisitions, should the rate exceed the capitalization rate used and could result in a purchase being non-accretive. This risk is mitigatedas management has certain rights of approval over the developments and acquisitions.

Operating facilities and secured debt exist that are priced at a risk premium over short-term rates. Changes in short-term interest rateswill have an impact on the cost of financing. In addition, there is a risk the lenders will not refinance on maturity. By restricting theamount of variable interest rate debt and the short-term debt, the Trust has minimized the impact on financial performance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Canadian capital markets are competitively priced. In addition, the secured debt market remains strong with lenders seeking qualityproduct. Due to the quality and location of the Trust's real estate, management expects to meet its financial obligations.

Credit RiskCredit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as credit exposures with respect to tenant receivables and mortgages and loansreceivable. Tenants may experience financial difficulty and become unable to fulfill their lease commitments. The Trust mitigates thisrisk of credit loss by reviewing tenants' covenants, by ensuring its tenant mix is diversified and by limiting its exposure to any onetenant, except Walmart Canada because of its creditworthiness. Further risks arise in the event that borrowers may default on therepayment of amounts owing to the Trust. The Trust endeavours to ensure adequate security has been provided in support of mortgagesand loans receivable. The failure of the Trust's tenants or borrowers to pay the Trust amounts owing on a timely basis or at all wouldhave an adverse effect on the Trust's financial condition. The Trust deposits its surplus cash and cash equivalents in high credit qualityfinancial institutions only, in order to minimize any credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents.

Environmental RiskAs an owner of real property, the Trust is subject to various federal, provincial, territorial and municipal laws relating to environmentalmatters. Such laws provide that the Trust could be liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances and remediation ofcertain hazardous locations. The failure to remove or remediate such substances or locations, if any, could adversely affect the Trust'sability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral and could potentially also result in claims against the Trust.The Trust is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws at any of its properties. The Trust is also not awareof any pending or threatened investigations or actions by environmental regulatory authorities in connection with any of its propertiesor any pending or threatened claims relating to environmental conditions at its properties. The Trust has policies and procedures toreview and monitor environmental exposure. It is the Trust's operating policy to obtain a Phase I environmental assessment on allproperties prior to acquisition. Further investigation is conducted if the Phase I assessments indicate a problem. In addition, thestandard lease requires compliance with environmental laws and regulations and restricts tenants from carrying on environmentallyhazardous activities or having environmentally hazardous substances on site. The Trust has obtained environmental insurance on certainassets to further manage risk.

The Trust will make the necessary capital and operating expenditures to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations.Although there can be no assurances, the Trust does not believe that costs relating to environmental matters will have a material adverseeffect on the Trust's business, financial condition or results of operations. However, environmental laws and regulations can changeand the Trust may become subject to more stringent environmental laws and regulations in the future. Compliance with more stringentenvironmental laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on the Trust's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Capital RequirementsThe Trust accesses the capital markets from time to time through the issuance of debt, equity or equity related securities. If the Trustwas unable to raise additional funds or renew existing maturing debt on favourable terms, then acquisition or development activitiescould be curtailed, asset sales accelerated and property specific financing, purchase and development agreements renegotiated andmonthly cash distributions reduced or suspended. However, the Trust anticipates accessing the capital markets on favourable termsdue to its high occupancy levels and low lease maturities, combined with strong national tenants in prime retail locations.

Tax Rules for Income TrustsPursuant to the SIFT Rules, a SIFT is subject to taxes with respect to certain distributions at a rate that is substantially equivalent tothe general tax rate applicable to a Canadian corporation. The SIFT Rules apply to most trusts, other than REITs that qualify for theREIT Exemption. Accordingly, unless the REIT Exemption is applicable to the Trust, the SIFT Rules could have an impact on thelevel of cash distributions that would otherwise be made by the Trust and the taxation of such distributions to Unitholders.

As at September 30, 2015, the Trust qualifies for the REIT Exemption.

Income Tax RiskAlthough the Trust believes that all expenses claimed for income tax purposes are reasonable and deductible and that the cost amountsand capital cost allowance claims are correctly determined, there can be no assurance that the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") willagree or that the Tax Act or the interpretation of the Tax Act will not change. If the CRA successfully challenges the deductibility ofsuch expenses, the taxable income of the Trust and its Unitholders may be adversely affected. The extent to which distributions willbe tax-deferred in the future will depend in part on the extent to which entities owned by the Trust are able to deduct capital costallowance relating to the assets held by them.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Transaction

On May 28, 2015, the Trust completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Transaction”) of the SmartCentres platform fromMitchell Goldhar as part of a $1,171.2 million transaction that transformed the Trust into a fully integrated real estate developer andoperator by adding the SmartCentres’ platform of development, leasing, planning, engineering, architecture, and construction capabilities(the “Platform”). The Transaction also included the acquisition of interests in a portfolio of 22 properties (the “Properties”) locatedprincipally in Ontario and Quebec, including 20 open format Walmart Supercentre anchored or shadow-anchored shopping centresowned by Mitchell Goldhar and joint venture partners, including Wal-Mart Canada Realty Inc., for $1,116.0 million. Following closingof the Transaction (the “Closing”) and to reflect its enhanced capabilities and the considerable brand recognition of SmartCentres andits trademark Penguins, the Trust changed its name to Smart Real Estate Investment Trust (or, in short form, SmartREIT) and theticker symbol for the Units on the TSX to SRU.UN, previously CWT.UN.

The Trust financed the Transaction by the assumption of existing mortgages and development loans totalling $645.5 million, theissuance of 8,015,500 subscription receipts at a price of $28.70 totalling $230.0 million, the issuance of approximately $174.2 millionin LP Units (exchangeable into Units on a one-for-one basis) to certain of the vendors at a price of $28.70 per LP Unit, being theprice per subscription receipt sold under the offering described above, and the balance paid in cash adjusted for other working capitalamounts.

Following Closing, the Trust’s portfolio includes 107 Walmart anchored or shadow anchored locations with 93 sites owned, representing13.1 million square feet, further enhancing the Trust’s position as Walmart Canada’s most significant landlord.

The properties acquired by the Trust as a result of the Transaction, at the Trust’s share collectively and as of the date of the Transaction,added 3.4 million square feet of leased retail area to the Trust’s previous 27.4 million square feet of largely open format shoppingcentre space, were 99.7% occupied, and had a weighted average lease term to maturity of 12.6 years. A further 1.8 million square feetis expected to be developed over time, represented by 1.6 million square feet through on-balance sheet development and just under0.2 million square feet through future Earnouts.

The Transaction brought the Trust’s total assets, as at the Closing, to in excess of $8.3 billion, representing approximately 30.8 millionsquare feet of retail area, and land on which 4.6 million square feet of retail area is proposed to be developed, along with the existingland for additional mixed use density previously noted.

Mitchell Goldhar’s role with the Trust and the Platform has evolved as a result of the Transaction. Mitchell Goldhar assumed the roleof Chair of the Board of Trustees and has been appointed as an observer to the Trust’s newly formed Real Estate Committee.

Subsequent Events

On October 16, 2015, $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate Series K senior unsecured debentures matured, whichwas settled by the Trust by existing cash and credit facilities.

Outlook

During the second quarter of 2015 we completed a transformative transaction involving a very significant portfolio of real estate andthe SmartCentres' platform (see the "Transaction" section earlier), transforming SmartREIT into a fully integrated REIT. Over the last20 years, the SmartCentres’ platform has developed over 50 million square feet of retail space, including more than 170 Walmart storesas Canada’s largest developer of retail real estate. SmartREIT can now provide a full suite of capabilities from origination of developmentopportunities to planning, engineering, architecture and design, construction, leasing and operations. We are now in the process ofidentifying and strategically prioritizing our various growth-oriented opportunities that we expect will accrue immediate, medium-term,and long-term financial benefits for our Unitholders. This planning initiative will occupy a substantive amount of our time and attentionover the next several months. However we will continue to be attentive to the impacting economic and industry specific issues andtrends and their related effects on our existing shopping centre portfolio and future opportunities.

The Bank of Canada recently reaffirmed its belief that Canadian economic stimulus continues to be a priority. Accordingly, at least forthe near term, increases in short term interest rates are not expected. However, there continues to be volatility in the longer term marketwherein, since March of this year, overall rates for longer terms have been trending upwards, and it is expected that longer term ratesin the United States will continue to move higher. The Government of Canada’s 10-year bond rate has been capricious since thebeginning of the year (reaching high and low points of 1.9% and 1.2% respectively earlier in the year and then recently tapering backto just below 1.6% at the end of October, 2015).

We have also experienced widening spreads for both secured and unsecured debt in the long term market. Spreads over the Governmentof Canada’s 10-year bond rate for secured and unsecured debt have risen by over 30 and 50 basis points respectively from their lowestlevels experienced earlier in the year. “All in” interest rates on longer term secured debt are expected to parallel the upward movementin rates anticipated in the unsecured market, and we continue to see a reasonable supply of available long term secured funding in 10-year term financing. Currently however, the availability of longer term unsecured debt is believed to be less fulsome, as this market hasexperienced a tremendous level of demand from new issues over the last six months, and premiums for new issues have increasedsubstantively. The overriding trend is for longer term yields to continue to climb. Accordingly, we have continued to fervently pursuea “lock long” strategy when mortgage renewals and similar financing opportunities arise. This refinancing strategy has now pushed ouroverall weighted average term and interest rate to 5.6 years and 3.85% respectively for our secured debt.

Overall growth in Canadian retail sales continues to lag those levels experienced in 2014. For the nine months ended September 2015,Canadian retail sales levels were up approximately 2.0% year over year, with unusually strong gains in automotive sales and modestlyimproved sales levels in general merchandise, clothing and building materials. During these periods of economic uncertainty, ourshopping centres continue to demonstrate resilience, principally due to their convenient locations, presence of value-focused retailers,low operating costs and intelligent design. Accordingly, our overall occupancy levels are expected to remain at industry leading levelswith encouraging tenant renewal levels and reasonable rental increases. These levels are currently marginally lower than our historicallyexceptionally high levels to reflect space that has recently been vacated. We continue to be encouraged by the levels of interest in manyof these vacated locations by tenants (national and international in scope) that are expanding their reach to Canadian consumers.

Canada’s overall employment levels continue to show strong resilience, notwithstanding the challenges being experienced in WesternCanada as a result of the continued decline in the price of crude oil, resulting in moderately healthy consumer spending and relatedsales levels for many retailers. However, the impact of the closings of several well known retailers during 2015, coupled with the pendingclosings of 52 Loblaws stores has and will continue to leave a trail of vacant space for many Canadian landlords. We are not immuneto these pervading market forces. However, given the preponderance of Walmart stores in our portfolio, and Walmart’s distinctiveability to drive strong levels of traffic to these locations, we believe that we are very well insulated from some of these pervadingchallenges.

Given the addition of our new planning, development and construction platform, we have begun to focus on development orredevelopment opportunities in some of our existing centres. However, any such opportunity will only be pursued if it complies withour disciplined investment approach. These strategic growth oriented initiatives will become more prevalent as we continue to experiencea decline in the availability of higher quality, accretive acquisition opportunities in the Canadian marketplace. In addition, given theprodigious success of the first phase of the Toronto Premium Outlets, we are diligently pursuing a multi-phased plan to expand thecentre’s parking facility and its retail footprint. Concurrent with this expansion initiative, we are also continuing to search for otherprospective Premium Outlets’ sites in Canada.

The progress of construction of the 360,000 square foot VMC office complex continues steadfastly on time and both constructionand financing costs are under budget. KPMG will be commencing their ‘fit-out’ plan next spring and are expected to commenceoccupancy in the fall of 2016. Discussions with several other large prospective tenants are continuing, and we hope to have furthernews in this regard over the next several months.

And finally, as ‘e-commerce’ continues to play an ever-increasing role in the retail landscape in Canada, we are increasing our on-goingefforts to facilitate ‘best in class’ location and spatial solutions for the convergence of our tenants’ ‘omni-channel’ strategies. ‘PenguinPick-up’ and similar ‘click and collect’ concepts are excellent examples of ‘e-commerce’ convergence phenomenon. Coupled with our‘e-commerce’ focus, convenience, location, value, and the customized ‘shopping experience’ each continue to be critical factors thatare relevant to today’s shoppers and therefore necessary to ensure the long term success of our tenants. In this regard, our focus onenhancing the ‘customer experience’ continues to be a core objective for our team.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Trust have been prepared in accordance with InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to the preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements,International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International AccountingStandards Board. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain disclosures, which are supplemental tothe Trust's annual consolidated financial statements. They do not include all the information and disclosures required by IFRSapplicable for annual consolidated financial statements and, therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the annualaudited consolidated financial statements.

2.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgementsThe preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires managementto make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingentassets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts ofrevenues and expenses during the reporting period. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Trust'saccounting policies. The critical accounting estimates and judgements applied during the quarter are consistent with those setout in Note 2 to the Trust's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except for thefollowing: judgments relating to determining if an acquisition should be accounted for as a business combination or an assetacquisition, estimates relating to purchase price allocations and estimates relating to impairment of intangibles assets.

2.3 Accounting policiesThe accounting policies followed in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the policiesand methods of their application used in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for theyear ended December 31, 2014, except as noted below:

a) Intangible Assets and GoodwillThe Trust’s intangible assets comprise key joint venture relationships, trademarks and goodwill.

The cost of income properties and properties under development as at September 30, 2015 totalled $6,087,362 (December 31, 2014– $5,178,094) and $679,882 (December 31, 2014 – $342,130), respectively.

Secured debt with a carrying value of $2,618,671 (December 31, 2014 – $1,695,095) is secured by investment properties with a fairvalue of $5,450,466 (December 31, 2014 – $4,253,387).

Presented separately from investment properties is $78,156 (December 31, 2014 – $74,907) of net straight-line rent receivables andtenant incentives (these amounts are included in Other Assets - see Note 7) arising from the recognition of rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. The fair value of investment properties has been reduced by these amounts presented separately.

Valuation methodology and processesInvestment properties carried at fair value are categorized by level according to the significance of the inputs used in making themeasurements. As the fair value of investment properties is determined with significant unobservable inputs, all investment propertiesare classified as Level 3 assets.

The Trust’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change incircumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers (December 31, 2014 – nil) in or out of Level 3 fair value measurementsfor investment properties during the period.

The Trust’s internal valuation team consists of individuals who are knowledgeable and have recent experience in the fair value techniquesfor investment properties. The Trust’s valuation team is responsible for determining the fair value of investment properties everyquarter, which includes co-owned properties and a property classified as investment in associates. The team reports directly to a seniorexecutive and the internal valuation team's valuation processes and results are reviewed by management at least once every quarter, inline with the Trust’s quarterly reporting dates.

The Trust has also engaged leading independent national real estate appraisal firms with representation and expertise across Canadato provide appraisals on approximately 15-20% of its portfolio by value annually starting in the first quarter of 2014. Properties arerotated annually to ensure that at least 50% of the portfolio by value is appraised externally over a three-year period. These externalvaluations take place as of either June 30 or December 31 and are prepared to comply with the requirements of IAS 40, “InvestmentProperty”, IFRS 13, "Fair Value Measurement", and International Valuation Standards. On a quarterly basis, for properties that are notvalued externally, the appraisals are updated by the Trust’s internal valuation team for current leasing and market assumptions, utilizingmarket capitalization rates as provided by the independent valuations firms. The externally appraised properties reflect a representativesample of the Trust's portfolio and such appraisals and valuation metrics are then applied to the entire portfolio by the Trust’s internalvaluation team.

From October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2015, the Trust has had approximately 80% (by value) or 69% (by number of properties) ofits operating portfolio appraised externally. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.

At each external valuation date, the internal valuation team:• verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation report;

Changes in fair values are analyzed at each reporting date during the quarterly valuation discussions between the senior managementteam and the internal valuation team. As part of this discussion, the internal valuation team presents a report that explains the reasonsfor the fair value movements.

Valuation techniques underlying management’s estimation of fair valueIncome properties that are freehold properties, with a total carrying amount of $6,300,365, were valued using the direct incomecapitalization method. In applying the direct income capitalization method, the stabilized net operating income (“NOI”) of eachproperty is divided by an overall capitalization rate. The significant unobservable inputs include:

Stabilized net operating income: based on the location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts orexternal evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, adjusted for estimated vacancy rates based on currentand expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease and expected maintenance costs.

Capitalization rate: based on location, size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date.

Income properties that are leasehold interests with purchase options, with a total carrying value of $802,940, were valued using thedirect income capitalization method as described above, adjusted for the present value of the purchase options. The significantunobservable inputs, in addition to stabilized net operating income and capitalization rate described above, include the discount rateused to present value the contractual purchase option, which is based on the location, type and quality of each property.

Income properties that are leasehold interests with no purchase options, with a total carrying value of $242,968, were valued by presentvaluing the remaining income stream of the properties. The significant unobservable inputs include:

Remaining income stream: based on the location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts orexternal evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, adjusted for estimated vacancy rates based on currentand expected future market conditions and expected maintenance costs.

Discount rate:based on market data at the valuation date, adjusted for property-specific risks dependent on the location, size and quality ofthe properties.

Properties under development with a total carrying amount of $558,747 were valued using the direct income capitalization methodless any construction costs to complete development and Earnout fees, if any. The significant unobservable inputs include:

Forecasted net operating income: based on the location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of actual or anticipated future leases,other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, adjusted for estimated vacancy ratesbased on expected future market conditions and estimated maintenance costs, which are consistent with internal budgets,based on management’s experience and knowledge of market conditions.

Earnout fee: based on estimated net operating rents divided by predetermined negotiated capitalization rates, less associated land anddevelopment costs incurred by the Trust.

Costs to complete: these are derived from internal budgets, based on management’s experience and knowledge of market conditions.

Completion date: properties under development require approval or permits from oversight bodies at various points in the development process,including approval or permits with respect to initial design, zoning, commissioning and compliance with environmentalregulations. Based on management’s experience with similar developments, all relevant permits and approvals are expected

to be obtained. However, the completion date of the development may vary depending on, among other factors, the timelinessof obtaining approvals, construction delays, weather and any remedial action required by the Trust.

Properties under development with a total carrying amount of $64,246 were valued by comparing to recent sales of properties ofsimilar types, locations and quality. The significant unobservable input is adjustments due to characteristics specific to each propertythat could cause the fair value to differ from the property to which it is being compared.

There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period.

Fair values are most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates and stabilized or forecasted NOI, among other inputs as describedabove. Generally, an increase in NOI will result in an increase in the fair value of investment properties and an increase in capitalizationrates will result in a decrease in the fair value of investment properties. The capitalization rate magnifies the effect of a change in NOI,with a lower capitalization rate resulting in a greater impact of a change in NOI than a higher capitalization rate.

The analysis below shows the maximum impact on fair values of possible changes in capitalization rates, assuming no changes in NOI:

Change in capitalization rate of -0.50% -0.25% +0.25% +0.50%Increase (decrease) in fair value

d) Deferred unit planThe Trust has a deferred unit plan that entitles Trustees and senior management, at the participant's option, to receive deferredunits in consideration for Trustee fees or executive bonuses with the Trust matching the number of units received. On April 16,2015, the Trust amended the vesting schedule for Trustees which resulted in the immediate vesting of all outstanding Trustee unitsas well as immediate vesting of future granted units to Trustees. Any deferred units granted to senior management as part of theircompensation structure effectively vest immediately and the matching deferred units vest 50% on the third anniversary and 25%on each of the fourth and fifth anniversaries, subject to provisions for earlier vesting in certain events. The deferred units earnadditional deferred units for the distributions that would otherwise have been paid on the deferred units (i.e. had they instead beenissued as Trust Units on the date of grant). Once vested, participants are entitled to receive an equivalent number of Trust Unitsfor the vested deferred units and the corresponding additional deferred units. Deferred units are granted at the beginning of thefollowing fiscal year.

The outstanding number of deferred units for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are summarized asfollows:

13. Fair value of financial instrumentsThe fair value of financial instruments is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable,willing parties in an arm's length transaction based on the current market for assets and liabilities with the same risks, principal andremaining maturity.

The carrying value of the Trust's financial assets included in amounts receivable, deposits, cash and cash equivalents and financialliabilities included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short period to receipt orpayment of cash. The fair value of the LP Units classified as liabilities is based on the market price of the Trust Units. The fair valuesof mortgages and loans receivable, secured debt and credit facilities are estimated based on discounted future cash flows using discountedrates that reflect current market conditions for instruments with similar terms and risks. The fair value of Earnout options is determinedusing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using certain observable inputs with respect to the volatility of the underlying Trust Unitprice, the risk free interest rate and using unobservable inputs with respect to the anticipated expected lives of the options, how manywill ultimately vest and the expected Trust Unit distribution rate. Generally, increases in the anticipated lives of the options, decreasesin the number of options that will ultimately vest and decreases in the expected Trust Unit distribution rate result in a lower fair valueof the Earnout options. The fair value of the convertible debentures and unsecured debentures is based on their market price. Thefair value of the conversion feature of the convertible debentures is determined using the differential approach between the marketprice of the convertible debentures and the present value of unsecured debentures that reflects current market conditions for instrumentswith similar terms and risks. The deferred units are measured at fair value using the market price of the Trust Units on each reportingdate with changes in fair value recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income asadditional compensation expense over their vesting period and as a gain or loss on financial instruments once vested. Such fair valueestimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Trust might pay or receive in actual market transactions.

The fair value of the Trust's financial instruments is summarized in the following table:

Fair value hierarchyThe Trust values financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value using quoted closing market prices, where available. Level1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or financialliabilities. When quoted market prices are not available, the Trust maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models.When all significant inputs are observable, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservableinputs are considered Level 3. Valuations at this level are more subjective and therefore more closely managed. Such testing has notindicated that any material difference would arise due to a change in input variables.

19. Related party transactionsTransactions with related parties are conducted in the normal course of operations and have been recorded at amounts agreed on bythe parties.

At September 30, 2015, Penguin (the Trust's largest Unitholder), owned by Mitchell Goldhar, owned 13,732,800 Trust Units, 12,462,443Class B Series 1 LP Units, 291,232 Class B Series 2 LP Units, 720,432 Class B Series 3 LP Units, 644,755 Class B Series 4 LP III Units,559,396 Class B Series 5 LP III Units, 421,795 Class B Series 6 LP III Units, 423,383 Class B Series 7 LP III Units, 1,698,018 Class BSeries 8 LP III Units, 2,887,012 Class B Series 1 LP IV Units, 688,336 Class B Series 1 Oshawa South LP Units and 305,765 Class BSeries 1 Oshawa Taunton LP Units, which represent in total approximately 22.7% of the issued and outstanding Units.

Certain conditions related to a July 2005 agreement require Penguin to have a minimum of 25.0% of voting rights. As a result, theTrust has issued additional special voting Units to increase Penguin's voting rights to 25%. These special voting Units are not entitledto any interest or share in the distributions or net assets of the Trust, nor are they convertible into any Trust securities. The total numberof special voting Units is adjusted for each annual meeting of the Unitholders based on changes in Penguin's ownership interest. Thereis no value assigned to the special voting Units. As a result of the extension for an additional five years of the existing voting top upright in favour of Penguin, that was approved by Unitholders at the Trust’s most recent Unitholder meeting, at the request of the TSX,the Trust also re-designated its trust units as “Variable Voting Units”. Such designation will cease on the termination of the voting topup right in 2020. The voting top up right is more particularly described in the Trust’s management information circular dated April 27,2015 and filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR").

Penguin has Earnout options to acquire approximately 2,182,703 Trust Units, approximately 5,175,093 Class B Series 1, Class B Series2 and Class B Series 3 LP Units; 2,271,295 Class B Series 4, Class B Series 5, Class B Series 6 LP III and Class B Series 7 LP III Units;422,051 Class B Series 1 LP IV Units; 45,000 Class B Series 1 Oshawa South LP Units; and 230,000 Class B Series 1 Oshawa TauntonLP Units. At September 30, 2015, its ownership would increase to 27.4% (December 31, 2014 – 27.2%) if Penguin were to exerciseall remaining Earnout options. Pursuant to its rights under the Declaration of Trust, at September 30, 2015, Penguin has appointedtwo Trustees out of seven.

The other non-controlling interest, which is included in equity, represents a 5.0% equity interest by Penguin in five consolidatedinvestment properties.

21. Segmented informationThe Trust owns, develops, manages and operates investment properties located in Canada. In measuring performance, the Trust doesnot distinguish or group its operations on a geographical or any other basis and, accordingly, has a single reportable segment fordisclosure purposes.

The Trust's major tenant is Walmart Canada Corp., accounting for 27.3% of the Trust's annualized rental revenue for the nine monthsended September 30, 2015 (nine months ended September 30, 2014 – 24.9%).

22. Fair value gain (loss)The following is a summary of the fair value gains (losses) for the three and nine months ended September 30:

Once the acquisition closed on May 28, 2015, the subscription receipts were exchanged for Trust units and thereforethe Trust performed a fair valuation of the subscription receipts from the date of issuance to the date the acquisition closed, resulting in a fair value loss for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015 of $240.

23. Risk managementa) Financial risks

The Trust's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Trust'soverall financial risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverseeffects on the Trust's financial performance. The Trust may use derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

i) Interest rate riskThe majority of the Trust's debt is financed at fixed rates with maturities staggered over a number of years, thereby mitigatingits exposure to changes in interest rates and financing risks. At September 30, 2015, approximately 15.52% (December 31,2014 – 6.63%) of the Trust's debt is financed at variable rates exposing the Trust to changes in interest rates on such debt.The Trust analyzes its interest rate exposure on a regular basis. The Trust monitors the historical movement of 10-yearGovernment of Canada bonds for the past two years and performs a sensitivity analysis to show the possible impact onnet income of an interest rate shift. The simulation is performed on a quarterly basis to ensure the maximum loss potentialis within the limit acceptable to management. Management runs the simulation only for the interest bearing secured debt

and revolving operating facility. The Trust's policy is to capitalize interest expense incurred relating to properties underdevelopment (nine months ended September 30, 2015 – 10.69% of total interest costs; year ended December 31, 2014 –7.31% of total interest costs). The sensitivity analysis below shows the maximum impact (net of estimated interest capitalizedto properties under development) on net income of possible changes in interest rates on variable-rate debt.

Interest shift of: -0.50% -0.25% +0.25% +0.50%Net income increase (decrease) 3,010 1,505 (1,505) (3,010)

ii) Credit riskCredit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposures with respect to tenant receivables and mortgagesand loans receivable (see Notes 9 and 5). Tenants may experience financial difficulty and become unable to fulfill their leasecommitments. The Trust mitigates this risk of credit loss by reviewing tenants' covenants, by ensuring its tenant mix isdiversified and by limiting its exposure to any one tenant except Walmart Canada Corp. Further risks arise in the event thatborrowers of mortgages and loans receivable default on the repayment of amounts owing to the Trust. The Trust endeavoursto ensure adequate security has been provided in support of mortgages and loans receivable. The Trust limits cashtransactions to high credit quality financial institutions to minimize its credit risk from cash and cash equivalents.

iii) Liquidity riskLiquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amountof committed credit facilities and the ability to lease out vacant units. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business,the Trust aims to maintain flexibility and opportunities in funding by keeping committed credit lines available, obtainingadditional secured debt as the value of investment properties increases, issuing equity and issuing convertible or unsecureddebentures. During the period ended September 30, 2015, the Trust has been able to obtain additional secured debt andissue unsecured debentures. The key assumptions used in the Trust's estimates of future cash flows when assessing liquidityrisk are capital markets remaining liquid and no major bankruptcies of large tenants. Management believes it has consideredall reasonable facts and circumstances in forming appropriate assumptions. However, as always, there is a risk that significantchanges in market conditions could alter the assumptions used. The Trust's liquidity position is monitored on a regularbasis by management. A schedule of principal repayments on secured debt and other debt maturities is disclosed in Note10.

b) Capital risk managementThe Trust defines capital as the aggregate amount of Unitholders' equity, debt and LP Units classified as a liability. The Trust'sprimary objectives when managing capital are:

• to safeguard the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for Unitholders; and• to ensure that the Trust has access to sufficient funds for acquisition (including Earnout) or development activities.

The Trust sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Trust manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it inlight of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust thecapital structure, the Trust may adjust the amount of distributions paid to Unitholders, issue new Units and debt or sell assets toreduce debt or fund acquisition or development activities.

The Trust anticipates meeting all current and future obligations. Management expects to finance future acquisitions, mortgagesreceivable, development and maturing debt from: (i) existing cash balances; (ii) a mix of debt secured by investment properties,operating facilities, issuance of equity, convertible and unsecured debentures; and (iii) the sale of non-core assets. Cash flowgenerated from operating activities is the source of liquidity to service debt (except maturing debt), sustaining capital expenditures,leasing costs and Unit distributions.

The Trust monitors its capital structure based on the following ratios: interest coverage ratio, debt to total assets, and debt to totalearnings before interest, taxes, depreciation , amortization and fair value changes associated with investment properties and financialinstruments (EBITDA). These ratios are used by the Trust to manage an acceptable level of leverage and are not consideredmeasures in accordance with IFRS, nor is there an equivalent IFRS measure.

The following are the significant financial covenants that the Trust is required by its operating line lenders to maintain: debt toaggregate assets of not more than 65%, secured debt to aggregate assets of not more than 40%, EBITDA to debt service of notless than 1.5, unencumbered investment properties value to consolidated unsecured debt of not less than 1.4, and Unitholders'equity of not less than $2,000,000.

Page 79: EXPANDING OUR REACH EXTENDING OUR CAPABILITIES …

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SMART REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST | THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2015 77

The Trust's indentures require its unsecured debentures to maintain debt to gross book value including convertible debenturesnot more than 65%, interest coverage ratio not less than 1.65 and Unitholders' equity not less than $500,000.

These covenants are required to be calculated based on Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") at the timeof debt issuance. If the Trust does not meet all externally imposed financial covenants, then the related debt will become immediatelydue and payable unless the Trust is able to remedy the default or obtain a waiver from lenders. For the period ended September 30,2015, the Trust met all of the externally imposed financial covenants.

24. Commitments and contingenciesThe Trust has certain obligations and commitments pursuant to development management agreements to complete the purchase ofEarnouts totalling approximately 1.1 million square feet of development space from Penguin and others over periods extending to2020 at formula prices, as more fully described in Note 4(b). As at September 30, 2015, the carrying value of the properties underdevelopment was $93,405 (December 31, 2014 – $82,263) with respect to these obligations and commitments. The timing of completionof the purchase of the Earnouts, and the final price, cannot be readily determined as they are a function of future tenant leasing. TheTrust has also entered into various other development construction contracts totalling $5,309 (excluding VMC – see Note 6) that willbe incurred in future periods.

The Trust entered into agreements with Penguin in which the Trust will lend monies, as disclosed in Note 5(a). The maximum amountthat may be provided under the agreements totals $287,345, of which $125,432 has been provided at September 30, 2015.
