Independent Auditor's Report
MNP
To the Unitholders of R&R Real Estate Investment Trust:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of R&R Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in unitholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the REIT as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the REIT in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Impairment and Reversal of Impairment Assessment
Key Audit Matter Description
The REIT performs testing for impairment and reversal of impairment on an annual basis, or whenever events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a cash generating unit ("CGU") might exceed its recoverable amount. The Company defines each hotel property to be an individual Cash Generating Unit ("CGU"). Each CGU is assessed by management for triggering events that may indicate events of impairment, or a reversal of impairment, at each reporting date. The assessment is determined by estimating the recoverable amount of each CGU at the reporting date. The recoverable amount of the CGU is the greater of its value in use ("VIU") or its fair value less cost of disposal. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net impairment of $3.6 million with respect to hotel properties.

The impairment for hotel properties is a key audit matter as estimation of the recoverable amount for each CGU involves a significant degree of management judgement in determining key assumptions, including discount rates, terminal capitalization rates, and future operating cash flows which include average daily rates, occupancy rates, growth rates and projected net operating income. Valuation techniques for real estate can be subjective in nature and involve various assumptions, both external and internal. Management considers both qualitative and quantitative factors when performing the assessment. As such, the assessment of management's estimates involves a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence.
Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements describes the Company's accounting policy for impairment of long-lived assets.
Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements details the Company's disclosure of hotel properties and associated impairments and reversal of impairments and significant assumptions.
Audit Response
We responded to this matter by performing procedures in relation to the impairment and reversal of impairment assessment. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:
- We assessed the reasonableness of management's estimation process through:
- Assessing management's qualifications for determining valuation of hotel properties; and,
-
Gaining an understanding of management's valuation process and key assumptions used in the impairment model.
-
We evaluated the key assumptions in management's impairment model, including future operating cash flows, average daily rates, expected occupancy rates, discount rates, terminal cap rates, projected growth rates, and projected net operating income.
-
We examined management's estimate of the expected future discounted cashflows of each CGU for the next 5 years.
-
We examined management's estimate of the fair value less cost of disposal.
-
We engaged an independent valuation specialist with specific knowledge and experience in the industry to assist with:
- Verifying that management's fair value methodology is in compliance with the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; and
-
Evaluating the reasonability of the discount rate and capitalization rate used in the impairment analysis based on industry data and other benchmarks.
-
We assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to the assumptions used in the impairment assessment in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the REIT's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the REIT or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the REIT's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the REIT's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the REIT's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the REIT to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the REIT as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
MNP
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Jo-Ann Lempert.

1. ORGANIZATION
R&R Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") is the successor to WestCap Investments Corp. (the "Corporation") following the conversion of the Corporation to a real estate investment trust. The Corporation was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on October 15, 2013 and was classified as a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") as defined by the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the "Exchange"). On August 15, 2014, shareholders of the Corporation voted to approve a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") providing for the conversion of the Corporation into the REIT. The Arrangement became effective August 25, 2014. Further details of the Arrangement are contained in the information circular dated July 18, 2014 which can be found at www.sedarplus.ca.
The REIT is an unincorporated, open-ended real estate investment trust established pursuant to the Declaration of Trust ("DOT") dated July 16, 2014, and is governed by the laws of the province of Ontario.
Units of the REIT trade on Tier 1 of the Exchange under the symbol RRR.UN.
The head office, principal address and records office of the REIT is located at 5090 Explorer Drive, Suite 500, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 4T9.
2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Trustees of the REIT on April 29, 2025.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the REIT and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the REIT has control. Control is achieved when the REIT is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the REIT. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intra-group transactions and balances are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the REIT and its subsidiaries.
The REIT consolidates the subsidiaries it controls directly or indirectly.
R&R Real Estate Investment Trust
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 (US dollars)
2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Functional and presentation currency
The functional and presentation currency of the REIT and its subsidiaries is United States dollars.
The REIT translates monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the reporting date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in the month they occur. Gains and losses on translation are recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the period. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The estimates and judgments used in determining the recorded amount for assets, liabilities and equity in the consolidated financial statements include the following:
i. Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for an acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed. The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The REIT obtains third-party valuations to support management's determination of the fair value of properties, buildings and equipment. IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS 3"), requires management to determine whether a hotel acquisition meets the definition of a business combination. Judgment is involved in determining if the acquiree constitutes a business and whether the REIT obtained control over the acquiree. IFRS 3 also requires management to determine whether a hotel acquisition is one of common control. Judgment is involved in determining if the acquiree is controlled by the same group of individuals before and after the acquisition.
ii. Impairment of long-lived assets
Management reviews long-lived assets on a quarterly basis for impairment triggers to determine if events or changes in circumstances exist that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable over time. Impairment assessments are conducted at the level of a cash generating unit ("CGU"), with an individual hotel representing a CGU.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (continued)
ii. Impairment of long-lived assets (continued)
If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written-down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of (i) fair value less costs of disposal and (ii) value-in-use. Value-in-use is assessed based on estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairments are reversed if there has been an improvement in the condition that caused the impairment which would result in the recoverable amount exceeding the carrying value.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment had been recognized.
Impairment testing of hotel properties requires management to assess the property's ability to recover its book value through the normal course of operations and evaluate the value-in-use of the property. Significant assumptions are used in the assessment of fair value and impairment including estimates of future operating cash flows, the time period over which they will occur, an appropriate discount rate, appropriate growth rates (revenues and costs) and changes in market valuation parameters. Management considers various factors in its assessment including the historical performance of hotel properties, expected trends in each specific market including new or expected new hotel supply as well as local and macroeconomic conditions.
Financial instruments
i. Classification and measurement
Financial assets are classified and measured based on three categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), and fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). Financial liabilities are classified and measured on two categories: amortized cost or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, unless the REIT identifies changes in its business model in managing financial assets and would reassess the classification of financial assets.
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial instruments (continued)
i. Classification and measurement (continued)
The REIT has classified its financial instruments as follows:
| Financial instrument | Classification under IFRS 9 |
|---|---|
| Cash | Amortized cost |
| Restricted cash | Amortized cost |
| Accounts receivable | Amortized cost |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Exchangeable units | Fair value |
| Lease and other liabilities | Amortized cost |
| Mortgages payable | Amortized cost |
The REIT determines the fair value measurement based on the following hierarchy:
- Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.
ii. Impairment
An allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) is recognized at each reporting date for all financial assets measured at amortized cost or those measured at fair value through other comprehensive loss, except for investments in equity instruments. The ECL model requires considerable judgment, including consideration of how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which are determined on a probability-weighted basis.
Impairment losses, if incurred, would be recorded as expenses in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss with the carrying amount of the financial assets or group of financial assets reduced through the use of impairment allowance accounts. In periods subsequent to the impairment where the impairment loss has decreased, and such decrease can be related objectively to conditions and changes in factors occurring after the impairment was initially recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss would be reversed through the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
The impairment reversal would be limited to the lesser of the decrease in impairment or the extent that the carrying amount of the financial assets at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized, after the reversal.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that case management uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at the reporting date.
Cash and cash equivalents
The REIT considers all liquid investments with original terms to maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of cash on hand and cash held in bank accounts.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash consists of cash reserves on deposit with lenders primarily in respect of future capital expenditures, cash collateral, property taxes and insurance premiums.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are measured at cost less any allowance for expected credit loss. The allowance for expected credit loss reflects expected credit losses and is based on management's assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is deterioration in a major customer's creditworthiness or if actual and expected defaults are higher than the historical experience, management's estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the REIT could be adversely affected.
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses consist of payments made for goods and services to be received in the near future, are initially recorded as assets, and are expensed over the period of benefit.
Properties, buildings and equipment
Properties, buildings and equipment, consisting of land and land improvements, buildings and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and right-of-use land lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Hotel properties are reviewed periodically for impairment as described above under the section "Impairment of long-lived assets".

Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life:
| Land improvements | 15 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings and improvements | 5 to 39 years |
| Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | 3 to 10 years |
| Right-of-use land lease | Lease term |
Borrowing costs
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the period end date. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, or assets that take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale are presented in current assets at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less the costs to sell. Assets are not depreciated from the time when they are classified as "held for sale". The liabilities related to these assets are reclassified to current liabilities once the assets are classified as held for sale. A held-for-sale asset is a non-current asset that is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and its sale must be highly probable. For the sale to be highly probable management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and an active effort to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated. Further, the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale should be expected to be consummated within one year from the date of classification as held-for-sale.
Unit equity
The REIT is an open-ended real estate investment trust, and units of the REIT are redeemable (puttable) at the option of the REIT's unitholders. IAS 32 requires puttable instruments to be accounted for as financial liabilities, except where certain conditions as detailed in IAS 32 are met. This exemption is known as the Puttable Instrument Exemption.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Unit equity (continued)
The units of the REIT meet the Puttable Instrument Exemption criteria and, accordingly, are classified and presented as equity in the consolidated statements of financial position. In addition to the REIT units, exchangeable units were issued. These units do not qualify for the Puttable Instrument Exemption, and are classified as liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position. They are re-measured at each reporting date at their fair value and are included in 'Unrealized loss on liabilities presented at fair value' in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Long-term incentive plan
The REIT has adopted a long-term incentive plan which provides for the grant of deferred units ("DU" or "Deferred Units") and restricted units ("RU" or "Restricted Units") of the REIT to directors, employees, trustees and consultants of the REIT and its subsidiaries. The DUs and RUs are considered to be financial liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position because there is a contractual obligation for the REIT to deliver Units upon settlement of the RUs and DUs. As a result of this obligation, the RUs and DUs are exchangeable into a liability as the Units are a liability by definition in accordance with IAS 32 and the Puttable Instrument Exemption does not apply to IFRS 2 – Share-Based Payment ("IFRS 2"). In accordance with IAS 32, the long-term incentive plan is presented as a liability and is measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Fair market value is determined with reference to observable market price of the REIT's Units.
The compensation expense relating to the long-term incentive plan is recognized over the vesting period based on the fair value of the Units at the end of each reporting period. Once vested, the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any fair value adjustment recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the period.
Treasury units
Units that are reacquired (treasury units) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in loss and comprehensive loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Units. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in share premium.
Revenue recognition
The REIT's performance obligation is to provide accommodation and other goods and services to guests. Room revenue is recognized on a daily basis based on an agreed upon daily rate after the guest has stayed at the hotel for a day, used its lodging facility and received related lodging services and amenities. Customer incentive discounts and cash rebates or refunds are also recognized as a reduction of revenue as incurred during the guest's stay. Other revenue primarily consists of parking income, in-room movie commissions, in-room safe commissions and vending income. Other revenue is recognized when the related services have been received by the guest, with discounts and cash rebates or refunds recognized as a reduction of revenue as incurred during the guest's stay. Management believes the credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited because the significant majority of revenue is settled through cash receipts and credit card transactions, which are typically reimbursed within two to five days.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Current and deferred income taxes
The REIT currently qualifies as a “mutual fund trust” under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The REIT expects to distribute or designate all of its taxable income to unitholders and is entitled to deduct such distributions for income tax purposes. Accordingly, except for the REIT’s subsidiaries, no provision for income taxes payable is required.
The legislation relating to the federal income taxation of a Specified Investment Flow Through (“SIFT”) trust or partnership was enacted on September 22, 2007. Under the SIFT rules, certain distributions from a SIFT will not be deductible in computing the SIFT’s taxable income and the SIFT will be subject to tax on such distributions at a rate that is substantially equivalent to the general tax rate applicable to Canadian corporations. However, distributions paid by a SIFT as a return of capital should generally not be subject to tax. Under the SIFT rules, the taxation regime will not apply to a real estate investment trust that meets prescribed conditions relating to the nature of its assets and revenue. The REIT has reviewed the SIFT rules and has assessed their interpretation and application to the REIT’s assets and revenue.
While there are uncertainties in the interpretation and application of the SIFT rules, the REIT believes that it is not subject to the SIFT rules as it does not meet the definition of a SIFT trust and accordingly, no net current income tax expense or deferred income tax expense has been recorded in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in respect of the REIT, except as described below.
Some of the subsidiaries are corporations. For these entities, the REIT follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Income tax is recognized within net loss in the statements of comprehensive loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive loss or equity, in which case the income tax is also recognized in equity. Current tax assets and liabilities are recognized at the amount expected to be paid or received from tax authorities using rates enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statements of financial position.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized at the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statements of financial position for the years that an asset is expected to be realized or a liability is expected to be settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be generated and available for the asset to be utilized against. During the year, the REIT recognized deferred tax of $764,782 (December 31, 2023 – $nil).
Loss per unit
Basic loss per unit is calculated by dividing net loss and comprehensive loss for the period attributable to unit holders of the REIT by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of units outstanding during the period takes into account the weighted average effect of changes in treasury units’ transactions during the period. The diluted weighted average number of units is calculated by applying the treasury method. The treasury method assumes that any proceeds on exercise of options and warrants are used to purchase units at the average market price during the period. Diluted loss per unit excludes the impact of the exercise of unit options and warrants if the exercise would be anti-dilutive.

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Provisions
Provisions are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position when the REIT has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate of the amount payable can be made. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Leases
In accordance with IFRS 16, the REIT assesses at inception of a contract whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The REIT recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
At inception of a contract, the REIT assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The REIT recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
Where a lease has two or more separate lease components, the REIT has accounted for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract. The non-lease components are accounted for by applying other applicable standards.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost which comprises of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, initial indirect costs and asset retirement obligations, less any lease incentives. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the REIT is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the REIT's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the REIT uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the REIT's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the REIT changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
The most significant effect of the new standard is the recognition of the initial present value of unavoidable future lease payments as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position, including those for most leases that would be currently accounted for as operating leases. Leases with durations of 12 months or less and leases for low-value assets may be exempted. The REIT did not take any exemptions, and has a land lease with a discount rate of $5.45\%$ (Note 9).

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Material accounting policy information
(a) International Accounting Standards 1 ("IAS 1") – Presentation of Financial Statements
In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current to specify the requirements for the classification of liabilities as either current or non-current. The amendments clarified the following:
*Right to defer settlement – that if an entity's right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with future covenants, the entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability regardless of compliance with such covenants at the end of the reporting period.
*Expected deferrals – that the classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months following the reporting period even if settlement occurs prior to the authorization of the issuance of the financial statements.
*Settlement by way of own instruments – that settlement by way of an entity's own equity instruments is considered settlement for classification purposes with the exception of a conversion option that itself is classified as an equity instrument.
The amendment also provided for additional disclosures surrounding non-current liabilities for which a right to defer settlement is subject to compliance with future covenants within twelve months. The amendment was adopted as of January 1, 2024 and applied retrospectively and thus $32,361,608 and $19,456,173 of exchangeable units have been re-classified on the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 retrospectively from non current to current.
3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
The REIT classified one property to assets held for sale during the prior year, and another property during the current quarter on the consolidated statements of financial position. All assets and liabilities relating to these properties were classified to current assets and current liabilities and outlined in the table below:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Prepaid expenses | $ 16,765 | $ 13,787 |
| Property, building and equipment | 4,000,000 | 5,124,252 |
| Current assets held for sale | $ 4,016,765 | $ 5,138,039 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ 37,234 | $ 16,238 |
| Deferred revenue | 6,603 | 16,971 |
| Mortgages payable | 6,281,058 | 6,237,318 |
| Current liabilities held for sale | $ 6,324,895 | $ 6,270,527 |
Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Once the property, building and equipment have been classified as held for sale, depreciation ceases.
The operation of this property is not presented as a discontinued operation on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as it does not represent a separate major line of business.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the REIT reported an impairment of $1,582,186 (December 31, 2023 - $nil).

The carrying amounts of the REIT's CGUs are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the CGU's recoverable amount is estimated. As at December 31, 2024, the recoverable amount for CGUs with an indicator of impairment was estimated based on updated cash flow projections based on known information, or reasonably could have been known. The cash flows were management's best projections based on current and anticipated market conditions covering the 5-year forecast period.

5. PROPERTIES, BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the REIT reported further impairment on three properties of $2,041,522 (December 31, 2023 – impairment reversal on one property of $100,288, further impairment on two properties of $1,332,703 for a net impairment of $1,232,415). The impairment losses were reversed only to the extent that carrying amount did not exceed the amount that would have been determined net of depreciation, if no impairment had been recognized. The REIT estimated their recoverable amount as the value-in-use ("VIU") using a five year discounted cash flow analysis, and compared it to their carrying amount for each property to determine if an impairment charge or reversal was required (higher of VIU and fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCD") compared to carrying amount). Significant assumptions used in the estimated value-in-use calculations included discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 12.0% (2023 – 10.0% to 12.0%), cap rates from 1.0% to 10.5% (2023 – 8.0% to 10.5%) and revenue growth rates from -5.1% to 11.9% (2023 – -4.0% to 3.3%).
If all other assumptions were held constant,
a) A 1% increase in the discount rate would increase the impairment by $496,726 (2023 – increase $471,349);
b) A 1% decrease in the discount rate would decrease the impairment by $522,872 (2023 – decrease $118,576);
c) A 1% increase in the cap rate would increase the impairment by $nil (2023 – increase $489,023); and
d) A 1% decrease in the cap rate would have decreased the impairment by $nil (2023 – decrease $118,576).
6. EXCHANGEABLE UNITS
Pursuant to the acquisition of a Red Roof Inn located in Maryland ("BWI") which was completed on August 25, 2014, 51,408,895 Class B LP units of USLP were issued to satisfy $8,480,000 of the $8,500,000 purchase price to Red Roof Inns, Inc. ("Red Roof"). Red Roof and the REIT do not act at arm's length, and are under common control.
On August 25, 2014, the 10,100,000 shares of the Corporation held by Westpac Industrial Properties Ltd. ("Westpac") were converted to exchangeable units of the REIT. These exchangeable units were converted to REIT units on August 10, 2016.
On October 3, 2017, 58,035,650 Class B LP units were issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of the 2017 Acquisition Properties.
On August 1, 2018, 72,031,112 Class B LP units were issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of the 2018 Acquisition Properties.
On September 25, 2019, 63,595,200 Class B LP units were issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of the 2019 Acquisition Properties.
The Class B LP units are exchangeable, on a one-for-one basis, for REIT units at the option of the holder, and have economic and voting rights equivalent, in all material respects, to REIT units.

7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Capital management
The REIT manages its capital, which is defined as the aggregate of unitholders' equity and debt, under the terms of the DOT. The REIT's capital management objectives are to ensure compliance with debt and investment restrictions outlined in its DOT.
The REIT is not permitted to exceed certain financial leverage amounts under the terms of the DOT. The REIT is permitted to hold indebtedness up to a level of 75% of gross book value. Indebtedness is computed as of the last day of each financial period excluding any indebtedness under trade accounts payables, security deposits, distributions payable to unitholders and accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business, and exchangeable units. Management's policy is not to exceed this leverage limit at any time during the year.
The REIT's indebtedness is comprised of mortgages payable and a capital lease obligation. As at December 31, 2024 total indebtedness to gross book value was 43.7% (December 31, 2023 – 46.4%).
The DOT also includes guidelines that limit capital expended to, among other items, the following:
(a) Direct and indirect investments in lodging facilities and other hospitality related properties, including without limitation vacant land, located outside of Canada;
(b) Not hold property that would be taxable Canadian property for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada);
(c) Not hold any non-portfolio property as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada);
(d) Temporary investments held in cash, deposits with a Canadian chartered bank or trust company, short-term government debt securities or in money market instruments maturing within a year;
(e) Not invest in rights to or interest in mineral or other natural resources, including oil or gas, except as incidental to an investment in real property;
(f) Not invest in raw land for development except for existing properties or the development of new properties. The aggregate value of such investments shall not exceed 15% of the gross book value of the REIT calculated at the time of such investment;
(g) Investments in mortgages or mortgage bonds, where the related security is a first mortgage on income producing real property which otherwise complies with (a) above and is subject to certain leverage limits and debt service coverage. The aggregate value of such investments shall not exceed 15% of the gross book value of the REIT calculated at the time of such investment; and

Capital management (continued)
(h) Invest in properties under development including raw land for development, development financing, mortgage financing and mezzanine financing, provided that the aggregate value of such investments shall not exceed 20% of the gross book value of the REIT.
The REIT was in compliance with these guidelines as at December 31, 2024.
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk management
In the normal course of business, the REIT is exposed to a number of risks that can affect its operating performance. These risks, and the actions taken to manage them, include the following:
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The REIT does not have cash equivalents and is therefore not exposed to the risk of changes in the fair value of the cash equivalents from interest rate fluctuations. Substantially all of the REIT's term loans as at December 31, 2024 have fixed interest rates.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk relates to the possibility that hotel guests, either individual or corporate, do not pay the amounts owed to the REIT. The REIT mitigates this risk by limiting its exposure to customers allowed to pay by invoice after check out ("direct bill"). The REIT reviews accounts receivable regularly and the allowance for expected credit losses is adjusted for any balances which are determined by management to be uncollectable.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Risk management (continued)
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the REIT will not have the financial resources required to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The REIT manages this risk by ensuring it has sufficient cash on hand to meet obligations as they become due by forecasting cash flows from operations, cash required for investing activities and cash from financing activities. As at December 31, 2024, the REIT had cash of $14,481,149 (December 31, 2023 – $10,440,231), restricted cash of $3,213,161 (December 31, 2023 – $5,748,739) and current liabilities of $43,400,162 (December 31, 2023 – $42,606,151) which includes liabilities held for sale of $6,324,895 (December 31, 2023 – $6,270,527) (Note 3) and exchangeable units of $32,361,608 (December 31, 2023 – $19,456,173) which are not settled by cash.
(d) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The REIT had $1,121,703 (December 31, 2023 – $328,033) Canadian dollars deposited with major Canadian banking institutions at December 31, 2024.
The REIT does not enter into arrangements to hedge its foreign exchange risk. A 1% change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate would not have a significant impact on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Fair value
The fair values of the REIT's current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximate their recorded values at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to their short-term nature. As at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of other loans, excluding debt financing costs, approximated their fair value. The fair value of loans and borrowings was estimated based on discounted cash flows using discount rates that reflect current market conditions for instruments with similar terms and risks.
The fair value hierarchy of financial liabilities measured at fair value on the statements of financial position is as follows:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
| Financial Liabilities: | ||||||||
| Exchangeable units (Note 6) | $ 32,361,608 | $ - | $ - | $ 32,361,608 | $ 19,456,173 | $ - | $ - | $ 19,456,173 |
| Total financial liabilities | $ 32,361,608 | $ - | $ - | $ 32,361,608 | $ 19,456,173 | $ - | $ - | $ 19,456,173 |
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the period and year presented and no transfer into and out of Level 3. There were no financial instruments measured at Level 3 at any of the dates presented.
The unrealized loss of $12,905,435 for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023 – $1,362,593 unrealized loss) was included in 'Unrealized loss on liabilities presented at fair value in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
