<strong>DUNDEE</strong> <strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong> 2011 Third Quarter Report<br />

OUR RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION<br />

Investment properties<br />

The fair value of our investment property portfolio at September 30, 2011, was $1,011 million, representing a<br />

weighted average capitalization rate (“Cap Rate”) of 8.3%.<br />

Fair values were determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method<br />

discounts the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of ten years, and using discount rates and<br />

terminal capitalization rates specific to each property.<br />

Building improvements<br />

Building improvements represent investments made in our rental properties to ensure our buildings are<br />

operating at an optimal level. We currently have several improvement projects in the planning stages and did<br />

not incur any costs during the quarter.<br />

Initial direct leasing costs and lease incentives<br />

Initial direct leasing costs include leasing fees and related costs, and broker commissions incurred in negotiating<br />

and arranging tenant leases. Lease incentives include costs incurred to make leasehold improvements to tenant<br />

spaces and cash allowances. Initial direct leasing costs and lease incentives are dependent on asset type, lease<br />

terminations and expiries, the mix of new leasing activity compared to renewals, portfolio growth and general<br />

market conditions. Short-term leases generally have lower costs than long-term leases.<br />

For the period from August 3, 2011 to September 30, 2011, we leased or renewed approximately 99,000 square<br />

feet of space for which we incurred $929 of leasing costs.<br />

Commitments and contingencies<br />

We are contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that may arise from time to time. In the opinion<br />

of management, any liability that may arise from such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect<br />

on our consolidated financial statements.<br />

Dundee International <strong>REIT</strong>’s future minimum commitments under operating and finance leases, including equity<br />

accounted investments, are as follows:<br />
