Material accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the REIT have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Basis of presentationThe condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of investment properties, incentive units, Class B LP Units and derivative financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), which are presented at fair value. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the REIT. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Trustees of the REIT on November 12, 2025.
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptionsThe preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The estimates and judgments used in determining the recorded amount for assets, liabilities and equity in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are based on information available to the REIT as at the end of the reporting period.
Future Accounting Standards Not Yet AdoptedThe International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued new standards and amendments that are not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2025. The REIT is evaluating the potential impact of these changes on its financial reporting.
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
Issued in April 2024, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replaces IAS 1 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. IFRS 18 aims to enhance the comparability and transparency of financial statements by introducing:
Defined categories and subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, including operating, investing, and financing categories, along with mandatory subtotals such as "Operating profit or loss" and "Profit or loss before financing and income tax."
Disclosures on management-defined performance measures ("MPMs"), requiring entities to provide information about subtotals of income and expenses that management uses in public communications.
Enhanced aggregation and disaggregation principles, improving the clarity and usefulness of financial information presented.
The REIT is currently assessing the impacts of this new standard on the presentation of its financial statements, particularly the statement of profit or loss, to align with the new categories and subtotals. The enhanced disclosure requirements will necessitate disclosing MPMs used in public communications, ensuring transparency and consistency in reporting.
IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier application permitted.
These amendments address:
Clarifications on the classification and measurement of financial assets, particularly those with environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-linked features, ensuring consistent application of the contractual cash flow characteristics test.
Guidance on the derecognition of financial liabilities, specifying that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date, which is the date on which the liability is extinguished.
Enhanced disclosure requirements, including information about financial instruments with contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows based on the occurrence (or non-occurrence) of a future event.
The REIT is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments on its financial instruments, particularly regarding the timing of derecognition of financial liabilities. The enhanced disclosure requirements may necessitate additional information in the notes to the financial statements, providing greater transparency about the REIT's financial instruments and associated risks.
The REIT will continue to monitor developments in these and other standards.

Acquisitions of income producing properties include $nil of transaction costs (December 31, 2024 - $1,735).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the REIT capitalized borrowing costs of $2,621 (December 31, 2024 - $2,724) to qualifying development properties.
The REIT's investment property policy requires externally appraising at least 15 to 20% of the value of the portfolio each year, and 50% of the portfolio over a 3-year period. The REIT targets having 100% of its portfolio valued over 6 years. The selection of properties is based on management's judgment, and includes the following criteria: materiality of property; leasing activities during the period; changes in NOI, capitalization rate, or other assumptions; the date of the last appraisal; financing; and any underwriting requirements (acquisitions or dispositions). The REIT obtains third party appraisals to supplement internal management valuations in support of the determination of the fair market value of investment properties. Investment properties with an aggregate fair value of $295,960 were valued by qualified external valuation professionals during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The fair value of the investment properties as at September 30, 2025, represents the REIT's best estimate based on available information as at the end of the reporting period.
The calculation of the fair value of investment properties using the direct income capitalization method results in the measurement being classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Significant unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 valuation of the investment properties are the stabilized net operating income and the capitalization rate applied in the valuations. Generally, an increase in stabilized net operating income or a decrease in capitalization rates will result in an increase in the fair value of investment properties. Conversely, a decrease in stabilized net operating income or an increase in capitalization rates will generally result in a decrease in the fair value of investment properties.
The key valuation metrics used in determining the fair value of the investment properties are summarized below:

$ 139,283
The fair value of the investment properties is most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates. As at September 30, 2025, a 0.25% increase in the weighted average capitalization rate would result in a decrease of approximately $99,600 in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties. A 0.25% decrease in the weighted average capitalization rate would result in an increase of approximately $108,500 in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties. Further, an increase (decrease) of 1% in stabilized net operating income would result in an increase (decrease) of approximately $24,300 in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties.
- Assets held for sale
As at September 30, 2025, two investment properties with a combined fair value of $34,496 were classified as assets held for sale (December 31, 2024 - $80,037). The mortgages associated with these properties are classified as liabilities associated with assets held for sale, totaling $5,340 (See Note 7 for details).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a fair value adjustment (loss) of $3,058 was recognized directly in the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the investment properties classified as assets held for sale. This fair value adjustment reflects a write-down of the assets held for sale to align their carrying amounts with the REIT's best estimate of their fair market value.
The following table summarizes the fair value changes in properties classified as assets held for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024:

-
Unitholders' equity
The REIT is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units and special voting units. Each unit entitles the holder to a single vote at any meeting of unitholders and entitles the holder to receive a pro rata share of all distributions and in the event of termination or winding up of the REIT, in the remaining net assets of the REIT after satisfaction of all liabilities. The units are redeemable at any time at the demand of the holders to receive a price per unit as determined by the REIT's declaration of trust. Among other conditions for redemption, the total amount payable by the REIT in respect of units surrendered for redemption shall not exceed $50 in any one calendar month.
The declaration of trust provides for the issuance of special voting units which have no economic entitlement in the REIT or in the distribution of assets of the REIT but are used to provide voting rights proportionate to the votes of the units to holders of securities exchangeable into units, including Class B LP Units.
-
Distribution reinvestment plan
The REIT adopted a distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP)" on February 20, 2014, pursuant to which resident Canadian holders were entitled to elect to have all or some of the cash distributions of the REIT automatically reinvested in additional REIT units at a price per REIT unit calculated by reference to the weighted average of the trading price for the REIT units for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant distribution date. Eligible unitholders who so elect would receive a bonus distribution of REIT units equal to 4% of each distribution that was reinvested by them under the DRIP. On June 21, 2024, the REIT suspended the distribution reinvestment plan effective July 16, 2024.

Financial instruments
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the REIT will not have the financial resources required to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The REIT manages this risk by ensuring it has sufficient cash on hand or borrowing capacity to meet obligations as they come due by forecasting cash flows from operations, cash required for investing activities and cash from financing activities.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. There is a risk that the REIT may not be able to renegotiate its mortgages and the Credit Facilities at maturity on terms as favourable as the existing mortgages payable and the Credit Facilities. As at September 30, 2025, there was a total of $826,744 (December 31, 2024 - $807,187) of mortgage and the Credit Facilities borrowings which bear interest at CORRA, SOFR or Canadian prime rates plus a fixed spread. There is a risk that prevailing interest rates could increase, and those increases could be significant. The REIT mitigates interest rate risk by maintaining reasonable levels of debt to investment property value and aims to structure new debt to stagger the maturities to ensure that the majority of debt does not come due for repayment in any one particular year. As at September 30, 2025, the REIT has interest rate swap agreements totaling $754,150 (December 31, 2024 - $780,709) to mitigate interest rate risk arising from floating rate debt, which represents 58.5% of total debt outstanding and 90.8% of total credit facility debt outstanding, as at September 30, 2025.
The REIT is a party to interest rate swap agreements to swap floating rate interest for fixed rate interest over the terms of certain mortgages. The interest rate swap agreements expire coterminous with the maturity of the corresponding mortgages, with the remaining agreements expiring through February 2032.
The fair value measurements of the interest rate swap agreements have been classified as Level 2, as they are based mainly on observable market data.

Effective fixed interest rate of mortgage debt and borrowings under the Credit Facilities, including the applicable spread.
The counterparties to these swaps have one-time options to terminate the swaps one year after the effective date.
Amortizing swap assumed November 1, 2023, as part of the 1040 Wilton Grove acquisition. The underlying BA debt was repaid with funds drawn on the unsecured facilities and the swap was maintained.
The counterparty to this swap has one-time options to terminate the swaps two years after the effective date.
This swap is scheduled to mature within one year and is therefore classified as current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position.
It is estimated that, all else constant, a hypothetical increase of 1% in the variable interest rate would result in an increase in the fair value of the REIT's interest rate swaps of $21,744 and a hypothetical decrease of 1% in the variable interest rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of the REIT's interest rate swaps of
$23,412.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from the possibility that fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the value of financial instruments. The REIT is able to draw its unsecured credit facilities in US dollars or Canadian dollars as described in Note 8 above. As at September 30, 2025, debt of US$492,807 ($686,468 Canadian dollar equivalent) was outstanding under the Credit Facilities. To mitigate the foreign exchange risk on these drawings, the REIT entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to economically convert the US
dollar drawings into Canadian dollars. These swaps involve exchanging principal and interest payments in US dollars for Canadian dollar payments. Gains and losses resulting from these swaps are recorded as foreign exchange (loss) gain in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
The following table summarizes the cross-currency interest rate swaps at September 30, 2025:

Fair value risk
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the REIT entered into Total Return Swaps ("TRS") to manage its economic exposure arising from employee incentive unit compensation. The TRS is carried at fair value with gains or losses arising from the remeasurement of the instrument recognized as fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments. The net monthly returns generated from the TRS are recorded in net interest expense upon receipt. The REIT does not apply hedge accounting for the TRS.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss to another party by failing to settle its obligations. The REIT is subject to credit risk with respect to its cash deposited with financial institutions, derivative hedge contracts, and tenant and other receivables. As at September 30, 2025, one tenant accounted for approximately 11% of the REIT's base rental income, resulting in a concentration of credit risk. The REIT monitors the creditworthiness of its tenants on an ongoing basis. The REIT mitigates credit risk by monitoring the credit ratings of the institutions holding the REIT's deposits.
The REIT has examined its tenant receivables for indications of impairment. The tenant receivables default rate of the REIT is less than 1.0%. The REIT continues to assess the effect of economic conditions on the creditworthiness of its tenants. As part of this assessment, the REIT reviews contractual rent receivables on a regular basis and reduces carrying amounts using an allowance for expected credit losses recognizing the amount of any loss in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income within property expenses. As at September 30, 2025, the REIT had an allowance for expected credit losses of $323 (December 31, 2024 - $107).

Commitments and contingent obligations Development Management Agreement
On April 3, 2025, the REIT entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Agreement") with 0768723 BC LTD ("0768"), outlining significant development initiatives and future contingent obligations. Pursuant to the Agreement, 0768, acting as Designer-Builder, will manage the design and construction of additional tennis courts at the REIT's Richmond, BC property (1751 and 1771 Savage Road) totaling 52,000 additional square feet for an estimated cost of $29,028.
The REIT satisfied these construction costs through the issuance of Class B LP Units of a subsidiary limited partnership of the REIT exchangeable 1:1 into Nexus REIT units, valued at $10.50 per unit.
In accordance with the Agreement, 2,764,464 Class B LP Units, representing a fair market value of $21,758 at the date of issuance, was legally transferred to 0768 on July 4, 2025, of which 447,619 Class B LP Units were issued without restrictions and released as an advance deposit for the commencement of development activities, and 2,316,845 Class B LP Units were issued subject to trading restrictions until specific constructions milestones are met.
Upon completion of construction, Studio Events Ltd., an affiliate of 0768, has agreed to lease all newly constructed square footage at a rate equal to a 6% capitalization rate on the REIT's total construction costs.
