restrictions that prevent its use for current purposes. These balances generally receive interest income at bank prime less 1.85%. Cash and<br />
cash equivalents are short term in nature and the current balance may not be representative of the balance for the rest of the year.<br />

The Trust’s operating subsidiaries have a functional currency of the euro, accordingly the assets and liabilities<br />
are translated at the prevailing rate at period end, and comprehensive income is translated at the average rate<br />
for the period. In order to manage the exposure to currency risk to unitholders and holders of Debentures, the<br />
Trust has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts. The term of the contract is for 24 months whereby<br />
the Trust is required to sell €2,600 per month at €1.3639 per Canadian dollar.<br />
The Trust is exposed to credit risk from its leasing activities and from its financing activities and derivatives.<br />
The Trust manages credit risk by requiring tenants to pay rents in advance and monitoring the credit quality<br />
of the tenants on a regular basis. The Trust monitors tenant payment patterns and discusses potential tenant<br />
issues with property managers on a regular basis. Credit risk with respect to financing activities and derivatives<br />
is managed by entering into arrangements with highly reputable institutions.<br />
The Trust does not use derivatives for speculative purposes.<br />
