MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(All dollar amounts in our tables are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars, except unit and per unit amounts, unless otherwise stated)

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is dated as of, and reflects all material events up to, August 3, 2021, the date on which this MD&A was approved by the Board of Trustees.

When we refer to terms such as "we', "us" and "our", we are referring to the Trust, Dream Impact Master LP (formerly Dream Alternatives Master LP) ("MPCT LP") and its subsidiaries. When we refer to "unitholders" we are referring to holders of the units of the Trust.

1. OVERVIEW AND OVERALL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE TRUST

Dream Impact Trust ("Dream Impact" or the "Trust") is an open-ended trust dedicated to impact investing. Impact investing is the intention of creating measurable positive, social and environmental change in our communities and for our stakeholders, while generating attractive market returns. The Trust’s underlying portfolio is comprised of exceptional real estate assets reported under two operating segments: development and recurring income. The units of the Trust are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "MPCT.UN".

The Trust is managed by Dream Asset Management Corporation ("DAM" or the "Asset Manager"), a subsidiary of Dream Unlimited Corp. ("Dream Unlimited" or "Dream") (TSX: DRM), which is one of Canada’s leading real estate companies, with approximately $10 billion of assets under management in North America and Europe. On January 1, 2018, Dream acquired control of the Trust, for accounting purposes, based on Dream's increased exposure to variable returns resulting from increased ownership through units held in the Trust and from new real estate joint venture agreements. The ultimate controlling party of the Trust is Michael Cooper, President and Chief Responsible Officer of DAM and Dream. As of June 30, 2021, Dream has a 27% ownership interest in Dream Impact.

1.2 OUR STRATEGY AND OPERATING SEGMENTS

Our fundamental objectives are to:

  • Create positive and lasting impacts for our stakeholders through our three impact verticals: environmental sustainability and resilience, attainable and affordable housing, and inclusive communities;

  • Balance growth and stability of the portfolio, increasing cash flow, unitholders’ equity and net asset value ("NAV")[(1)] over time;

  • Leverage our access to an experienced management team and strong partnerships in order to generate attractive returns for investors;

  • Provide investors with a portfolio of high-quality real estate development opportunities, concentrated in core geographic markets; and

  • Provide predictable cash distributions to unitholders on a tax-efficient basis.

As at June 30, 2021, our operating segments consisted of the following:

  • Recurring income — comprised of a portfolio of office and commercial real estate income properties in the Greater Toronto Area ("GTA") and Ottawa/Gatineau, and interest-paying mortgages and corporate loans; and

  • Development — comprised of direct and indirect investments in residential and mixed-use developments, a hospitality asset, and participating mortgage receivables.

Recurring income is important to our business as it provides stable returns in order to fund our ongoing fixed operating costs, interest and distribution. As we build out our extensive development pipeline, we intend to hold high-quality assets for the long term, which will further contribute to our sources of recurring income. Over time, as we retain our best-in-class developed income properties, we expect approximately 70% of our portfolio to be comprised of this segment.

We believe the Trust’s development segment represents a portfolio of high-quality assets located in core geographic markets. These assets represent the primary source of growth for the Trust and which we expect will generate future income and cash flows over time as the projects are developed. Assets may be built for sale or built to hold for the long term. Due to the nature of development, the Trust expects fluctuations in earnings from period to period from this segment. Typically, assets may be acquired and held for a number of years before development commences or contribution to net income is

realized. However, depending on a variety of factors, including location, market conditions, density and asset class, the value of these projects may appreciate as we progress through the rezoning and pre-development process. Our development segment is expected to generate attractive returns and continued NAV[(1)] accretion over time.

Over 70% of our projects are zoned, with the remaining 30% of Dream Impact's development projects or assets with redevelopment potential currently in the rezoning process, based on unitholders' equity as at June 30, 2021 and market value[(1)] adjustments as at December 31, 2020. Depending on the specific municipality, this process may take upwards of 2-3 years from the timing of submission. Significant zoning approvals are expected over the next 2 years.

In accordance with the Trust’s mandate to be a pure-play impact investment vehicle, assets in both operating segments will correspond to our impact verticals. These verticals are aligned with the widely recognized and accepted United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and are:

  • Environmental sustainability and resilience — develop sustainable real estate that optimizes energy use, limits greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, and reduces water use and waste while also creating resiliency against natural disasters and major climatic events.

  • Attainable and affordable housing — invest in mixed-income communities that are transit-oriented, located close to employment opportunities, and support an overall lower relative cost of living with high quality of life.

  • Inclusive communities — intentionally design and program communities that are safe and inclusive for everyone. This includes creating spaces that encourage mental and physical health, and wellness.

As the owner and developer of our real estate, we are focused on developing and operating our properties to contribute to the betterment of our communities through managing our resource efficiency to minimize environmental harm to communities, incorporating attainable and affordable housing, and fostering inclusivity, as we pursue attractive market returns. We undertake this purpose on behalf of all our stakeholders including our unitholders, customers, suppliers, lenders, governments and the community at large.

On May 3, 2021, the Trust released its inaugural impact report which outlines the framework and specific pathways on certain investments. The Trust intends to benchmark its performance, on an annual basis, against specific targets that will conform to principles set out by reputable third parties. Additionally, the Trust has identified three main features of its approach to impact management:

  • Intentionality — for each of the portfolio properties that qualify as impact assets, the Trust specifies impact pathways that set out the positive impacts expected to be achieved;

  • Measurement — each impact pathway will be scored according to various dimensions. These dimensions will include who will be affected (an assessment of the number of people, and how well or underserved they are), the extent of the impact (an assessment of duration and degree), and what the Trust’s contribution is (an assessment of the outcome delivered by the Trust, relative to what would have happened otherwise). We intend to measure our impact efforts in a repeatable, systematic way; and

  • Verification — our process surrounding our impact goals and impact management system will be verified by a recognized independent firm at regular intervals.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Dream Impact Management System was verified by an independent thirdparty. The verifying firm evaluated the extent to which the Impact Management System and impact investing activities to date align with the Operating Principles for Impact Management ("Impact Principles"). The results of the verification were in line with our expectations and industry averages. The Trust intends to incorporate feedback from the verification process to improve the alignment with each Impact Principle over the next three years.

As at June 30, 2021, approximately 80% of NAV[(1)] qualified under the Trust's definition of an impact investment. Over the next few years, our strategy is to deploy our balance sheet into new impact investment opportunities, wind-down or exit remaining non-impact investments and redeploy proceeds, and increase our financial flexibility from our build-to-sell assets.

1.3 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW - SECOND QUARTER 2021

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust, along with DAM, acquired the remaining third-party interest in Zibi, our 34-acre waterfront development in Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec, resulting in the development ownership being split 50/50 between the Trust and DAM. At the Trust's share, the purchase was settled by a cash payment of $9.1 million and a non-interest bearing promissory note with a discounted value of $5.3 million ($5.5 million face value) maturing in June 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Zibi development recognized fair value gains of $0.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, at the Trust's share, as construction nears completion on certain blocks, which has been reflected in the Trust's share of net income from Zibi in the period. To date, the Trust has invested $88.3 million, including transaction costs, in the Zibi development.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, 15 Rue Jos-Montferrand (Zibi Block 2-3), the first completed commercial block at the Zibi development, achieved first occupancy with Spaces, an Amsterdam-based creative workspace provider, which occupies over 80% of the building's gross leasable area ("GLA"). Zibi is on track for first occupancy at the Natural Sciences Building, which is over 80% leased to a Federal Government tenant and will add a further 186,000 square feet ("sf") to the recurring income segment. The Trust also expects to complete construction of the District Energy System later this year, which will provide all blocks at Zibi with net-zero carbon heating and cooling.

On July 2, 2021, CMHC announced a $70.0 million investment at Zibi. The Trust's impact verticals are incorporated and realized in the development of environmentally sustainable, inclusive and affordable and attainable housing at Zibi as part of the overall mixed use and income community. Zibi Block 10, the Trust's first affordable purpose built rental at Zibi, is receiving a $60 million low cost loan, through the Rental Construction Financing Initiative for the construction of a 162-unit, 15-storey building. The project is designed to include barrier free access, achieve a 20% decrease in energy intensity and a 40.4% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, and will include 95% affordable units, which is above the commitment to provide a minimum of 27% or 44 affordable units. Zibi received a further $10 million low cost loan through the NHS Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, to help build 200 affordable units, which will have equitable access to District Energy System, our net-zero carbon heating-cooling system for the Zibi community. Zibi Block 10 will house the central plant of the District Energy System.

The Virgin Hotels Las Vegas ("U.S. hotel") celebrated its grand opening in June 2021, including the opening of several amenities such as the Resort Pool, the 4,500-seat concert hall and The Theater. The Trust has a 10% interest in the reconceptualized and renovated hotel, and has invested $52.9 million, including transaction costs, to date.

During the second quarter, Brightwater, our 72-acre waterfront development in Port Credit, successfully launched Brightwater Towns, a 106-unit town home complex, and The Mason, a 162-unit 9-storey condominium building. To date, 100% of the released town homes at Brightwater Towns and 86% of the units at The Mason have sold, which is in addition to the 311 condominium units fully sold at Brightwater I and II, launched in 2020. Once completed, Brightwater will have over 350,000 sf of retail and commercial space, approximately 3,000 residential units, 18 acres of new parks and green space, an elementary school and a YMCA and will be an environmentally friendly community with electric vehicle charging stations, bike lanes and bike parking. To date, the Trust has invested $38.4 million, including transaction costs, for a 23.25% interest in the development.

Subsequent to the second quarter, the Trust announced the expected acquisition of over 900 multi-family residential units in the City of Toronto, for approximately $378 million of which $279 million is expected to be funded through debt financing at the project level. The Trust will have a 33% interest in the units, alongside Dream and its affiliates. Upon closing, these units will generate immediate returns to the Trust. The Trust will utilize the proceeds from the recently announced $30 million private placement of impact convertible unsecured subordinated debentures ("Impact Debentures") with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited and/or certain of its controlled affiliates, which closed subsequent to June 30, 2021, to fund this acquisition. The Impact Debentures are intended to be used to finance expenditures associated with eligible impact investments and will align with our Impact Financing Framework released earlier this year.

The Trust has a growing recurring income portfolio, which as at June 30, 2021, includes over 1 million sf of commercial space (at 100% project-level). In the latter half of 2021, the Trust expects the recurring income portfolio to grow with the completion of 186,000 sf of commercial space at Zibi's Natural Sciences Building, as well as the addition of over 900 multifamily residential units (at 100% project level). The Trust expects to continue to grow this segment by deploying capital to acquire additional income properties that are in line with its impact strategy, in addition to completing the Trust's build-tohold assets from its development pipeline. Refer to Section 2.2, "Recurring Income" of this MD&A for further details on build-to-hold assets that are expected to contribute to the Trust's recurring income segment over the next five years.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust reported a net loss of $1.5 million compared to $3.6 million in the prior year comparative period. The improvement relative to the prior year was driven by fair value adjustments on our developments and lending portfolio, and foreign exchange fluctuations on our investment in the U.S. hotel, partially offset by reduced income contribution from scheduled repayments on the Trust's lending portfolio and reduced tax recoveries since the prior year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust reported a net loss of $7.7 million compared to net income of $1.5 million in the prior year. The decrease year-over-year was primarily related to net fair value adjustments, including $1.8 million of capitalized transaction costs related to the acquisition of 76 Stafford and 68-70 Claremont, foreign exchange fluctuations on our investment in the U.S. hotel, a fair value loss on our Empire Lakeshore investment, timing of condo unit occupancies at Zibi, and reduced income contribution from scheduled repayments on the lending portfolio.

As at June 30, 2021, the Trust had $70.1 million of cash-on-hand. The Trust’s debt-to-asset value[(1)] as at June 30, 2021 was 16.2%, consistent with 16.1% as of March 31, 2021, and higher than 13.6% as of December 31, 2020, driven by financing obtained on the income properties acquired in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Trust's debt-to-total asset value, inclusive of project-level debt[(1)] and assets within our development segment, including equity accounted investments, was 44.1% as at June 30, 2021, compared to 41.5% as at March 31, 2021, and 38.5% as at December 31, 2020.

2. REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2.1 DEVELOPMENT

Our development segment includes development and investment holdings, and partnerships, included in equity accounted investments, formed for the purpose of developing residential and mixed-use projects.

Development holdings relate to the Trust's participating loans secured by Empire-related development projects (referred to as Empire Lakeshore and Empire Brampton). Investment holdings relate to the Trust's 10% investment in the U.S. hotel. Certain of the Trust’s partnerships, including development assets, which are primarily located in the GTA and Ottawa, are in various planning and construction phases and classified as equity accounted investments. These equity accounted investments are typically held at cost and are expected to contribute meaningfully to the Trust’s earnings in future periods as properties are developed and completed. Fair value adjustments may be recorded on an individual investment level as a result of certain factors, such as terms of a construction contract, stage of completion, location, type and quality of the property, current market rents for similar properties, reliability of cash inflows after completion, development risks specific to the property, past experience with similar constructions, status of approvals and/or permits, estimated costs to complete and market conditions.

Development projects are expected to be key drivers of future growth for the Trust to generate attractive returns and future cash flows as milestones are achieved. Our developments are expected to provide attractive profits upon their respective completion dates and are expected to contribute to increased value for unitholders over the longer term. The Trust has historically targeted a pre-tax internal rate of return ("IRR")[(1)] of at least 15%-20% on equity investments in residential and mixed-use development projects. Our development projects are also investments that provide significant opportunity to create impact in our communities, in line with our three impact verticals.

The table below provides a continuity of the Trust's development and investment holdings, including development assets within equity accounted investments, for the periods indicated:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust, along with DAM, increased its interest in Zibi, our 34-acre waterfront development in Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec, from 44.6% to 50%. The Trust acquired the remaining third-party interest in the Zibi development through a combination of a cash payment of $9.1 million and a non-interest bearing promissory note with a discounted value of $5.3 million ($5.5 million face value) maturing in June 2023, which has been recorded in amounts payable and other liabilities.

(1) For the Trust's definition of the following non-IFRS measure: IRR, please refer to the Non-IFRS Measures and Other Disclosures section of this MD&A.

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 9

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, 15 Rue Jos-Montferrand at Zibi achieved first commercial tenant occupancy of 43,000 sf with Spaces, an Amsterdam-based creative workspace provider. The achievement of first tenant occupancy, which comprised of over 80% of the GLA at the building, resulted in the transfer of $4.3 million from the development segment to the recurring income segment in the period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust recorded a foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, driven by the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar, related to our investment in the U.S. hotel. The U.S. hotel is not considered part of the Trust's long-term impact strategy.

Empire Lakeshore, a non-core legacy investment for the Trust, is a high-rise condominium development that includes two towers, the Water Tower and Sky Tower, at 49 and 66 storeys, respectively, for an aggregate of 1,280 residential units, which are 99% closed, and 55,000 sf of retail and commercial GLA. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust received a repayment of $2.3 million from Empire Lakeshore, representing profit return on the investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust recorded a fair value write-down of $6.3 million as a result of changes in profit assumptions on unsold inventory. As at June 30, 2021, the Trust has received total cash distributions of $45.5 million from the investment. The Trust anticipates the timing for the remaining profit distributions to be over the next 15 months. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Trust received an additional $2.4 million representing profit return on the investment to the Trust, with $10.0 million remaining on the investment.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, contributions of $3.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, including transaction costs, were made by the Trust to its development assets held as equity accounted investments, primarily related to West Don Lands and Zibi, which includes District Energy System, our net-zero carbon heating-cooling system for the Zibi community. We anticipate making further capital investments in the range of $75 million to $85 million for our development projects over the next two years. These contributions exclude the aforementioned acquisition of the third-party interest in Zibi during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

A summary of the development segment results, including development assets within equity accounted investments, is below:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the development segment generated a net loss of $0.6 million, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in results of $1.5 million was driven by lower foreign exchange losses related to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar in the current period compared to the prior year. The Trust expects the impact of foreign exchange on our investment in the U.S. hotel to fluctuate each period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the development segment generated a net loss of $5.3 million relative to net income of $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by changes in profit assumptions on unsold inventory as it relates to the Empire Lakeshore investment, timing of unit occupancies at Zibi, and foreign exchange losses related to our investment in the U.S. hotel. Partially offsetting the above were fair value gains within our investment in Zibi, as a result of project milestones as certain blocks near completion.

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

Based on current development timelines, over the next five-year period, an additional 3,400 residential units and 0.5 million sf of retail and commercial product are expected to be completed (at the 100% project level). This includes both build-tohold and build-to-sell assets. Build-to-hold assets, such as the West Don Lands development and future blocks at Zibi, are part of the Trust's long-term impact investing strategy. Certain investments are highlighted below.

(3) The weighted average capitalization rate and development yield excludes Brightwater.

Due to the long-term nature of projects in the development segment, results will fluctuate between periods due to the various construction timelines and availability of completed inventory. As our development projects progress towards completion and achieve various milestones, the Trust expects an increase in income and cash flows from this segment over time. For additional details, refer to Section 1.4, "Summary of Portfolio Assets".

2.2 RECURRING INCOME

The Trust's recurring income segment includes its income properties and lending portfolio.

The Trust’s income properties consist of wholly owned and co-owned office properties as well as certain equity accounted investments that are income-producing, with future redevelopment potential. Revenue from these income properties includes base rents, recoverable operating expenses and property tax recoveries, lease termination fees, parking income and ancillary income.

The Trust's lending portfolio includes investments in mortgages and loans secured by different types of residential and commercial real estate property that represent an acceptable underwriting risk.

A summary of the recurring income segment results is as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust's recurring income segment generated net income of $0.5 million relative to a net loss of $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $1.1 million was primarily due to the income generated from the first commercial tenant occupancy at Zibi's 15 Rue Jos-Montferrand and a lower loan provision, partially offset by reduced income contribution from the lending portfolio as a result of repayments in the prior year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust's recurring income segment generated net income of $0.3 million, compared to $2.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to transaction costs on the two income properties acquired earlier in the year and reduced income contribution from the lending portfolio as a result of principal repayments in the prior year, partially offset by the aforementioned lower loan provision.

INCOME PROPERTIES

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust acquired a 100% interest in two income properties, 76 Stafford and 68-70 Claremont, located in downtown Toronto, for a total consideration of $33.6 million, including transaction costs. The income properties were funded through a combination of mortgages payable of $27.5 million and cash-on-hand. The mortgages payable have a five-year term and have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.76%. As at June 30, 2021, $3.8 million of proceeds from the mortgages payable were included in other non current assets as restricted cash, available for use on certain capital expenditures on one of the income properties. In aggregate, the properties have added 55,000 sf of GLA to our recurring income portfolio, which as at June 30, 2021, includes over 1.0 million sf of GLA (at 100% project level).

The Trust continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the ability of our tenants to continue paying rent, including the availability of certain government programs such as the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust's monthly rent collection has been between 95% and 99%.

Operating statistics for the income properties portfolio are as follows:

As at June 30, 2021, the committed and in-place occupancy rates for income properties were 86.4% and 85.8%, respectively, compared to 89.2% and 88.7% at December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease in occupancy rates was primarily driven by the newly acquired income properties, timing of lease renewals and early lease terminations since the prior year. The weighted average remaining lease term increased to 5.4 years at June 30, 2021, compared to 5.1 years at December 31, 2020, primarily due to the lease agreements on the two income properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

FIVE-YEAR DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

Over the next five years, as the Trust's development pipeline is built out, an additional 2,378 residential rental units and 352,000 sf of commercial and retail GLA are expected to be added to our recurring income segment (at 100% project level). Details regarding the projects which we expect to complete during this time period are as follows:

LENDING PORTFOLIO

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust recognized a loan provision of $1.1 million related to one loan, the value of which was determined based on the net realizable value of the underlying real estate properties and estimated transaction costs (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 - $2.9 million).

2.3 CONSOLIDATED TRUST REVIEW OF TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

TOTAL INCOME

Total income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $4.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million relative to the prior year comparative period. The increase was primarily a result of favourable foreign currency fluctuations on the Trust's investment in the U.S. hotel.

Total income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $4.3 million, a decrease of $8.3 million relative to the prior year comparative period primarily due to a fair value adjustment on a legacy investment, foreign exchange fluctuations related to the Trust's investment in the U.S. hotel and reduced income contribution from the Trust's loan portfolio. This was partially offset by fair value gains within our Zibi development as construction nears completion on certain blocks.

TOTAL EXPENSES

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.2 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of the aforementioned lower loan provision in the current period.

Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $13.2 million compared to $12.3 million in the prior year period. The increase in total expenses was primarily due to fluctuations in deferred compensation expense and asset management fees related to changes in the Trust's unit price in each period, partially offset by the aforementioned lower loan provision. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust renewed its arrangement with DAM to satisfy the management fees payable in units, converted at the most recent year-end NAV per unit[(1)] as determined and reported by the Trust ($8.99 as at December 31, 2020), and recorded for accounting purposes based on the trading price on date of settlement. The agreement is effective as of January 1, 2021 and expires on December 31, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust recorded asset management fees of $0.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, where the trading price discount for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as the extension received unitholder approval in the second quarter of 2021.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (RECOVERY)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust recorded an income tax recovery of $0.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, compared to an income tax recovery of $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in the prior year's comparative periods. The fluctuation from period to period was driven by the composition of income, primarily related to fair value adjustments, including those held as equity accounted investments.

Due to the Trust’s diversified asset mix and active asset management strategy, we expect some degree of variability in current and deferred income tax expense recognized each period through the condensed consolidated statements of

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 13

comprehensive income (loss) resulting in an income tax expense (recovery) position. The Trust intends to actively manage the portfolio in a tax-efficient manner.

We are subject to income taxes both federally and provincially in Canada and the United States. Judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the Trust's tax balances. Our income tax expense/recovery and deferred tax liabilities/ assets reflect management's best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid/recovered. The Trust is subject to tax audits from various government and regulatory agencies on an ongoing basis. As a result, from time to time, taxing authorities may disagree with the interpretation and application of tax laws taken by the Trust in its tax filings.

TAX ATTRIBUTES

INCOME PROPERTIES

We deduct mortgage interest and available tax depreciation on our buildings from our Canadian income properties that generate taxable net operating income. These deductions contribute to the overall tax efficiency of our structure and the tax depreciation helps provide the Trust with tax-sheltered cash flow. Any change in the fair value of income properties is not recognized in the determination of current taxes until the sale of the asset.

(1) Represents a non-IFRS measure. For the Trust's definition of the following non-IFRS measure: NAV per unit, please refer to the Non-IFRS Measures and Other Disclosures section of this MD&A. Non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

2.4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, the Trust and its subsidiaries enter into transactions with related parties that are contracted under commercial terms. On January 1, 2018, Dream acquired control of the Trust, based on Dream's increased exposure to variable returns resulting from increased ownership through units held in the Trust and from new real estate joint venture agreements. DAM, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dream Unlimited, is the Trust’s Asset Manager and is a related party that provides management personnel services to the Trust under the terms of the management agreement.

DREAM ASSET MANAGEMENT

ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

On July 8, 2014, the Trust entered into a management agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Management Agreement") with DAM, pursuant to which DAM provides a broad range of asset management services to the Trust for a base annual management fee, acquisition/origination fee and disposition fee.

In addition, the Trust will reimburse DAM for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the management services described in the Management Agreement and the costs and expenses incurred in providing such other services that the Trust and DAM agree to in writing that are to be provided from time to time by DAM.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Trust agreed to settle the asset management fees payable pursuant to the Management Agreement in units of the Trust, until December 31, 2020. The Trust units were valued at $8.74, for purposes of determining the number of units to be issued and recorded based on the market price on the date of settlement. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust renewed the arrangement to satisfy the management fees payable in units converted at the most recent year-end NAV per unit[(1)] as determined and reported by the Trust ($8.99 as at December 31, 2020), and recorded for accounting purposes based on the trading price on the date of settlement. The Trust settled the asset management fee related to the three months ended March 31, 2021, with the issuance of 344,345 units during the second quarter of 2021 as the renewed arrangement was effective as at January 1, 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Trust settled its management fee for the second quarter of 2021 with the issuance of 301,477 units of the Trust.

3. DISTRIBUTION MEASURES

In any given period, the Trust anticipates that actual distributions paid and payable may differ from cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities. This difference is driven by a number of factors, including the impact of leasing incentives and initial direct leasing costs which can fluctuate with lease maturities, renewal terms and the type of asset being leased; changes in non-cash working capital; cash flow from certain development holdings; and the longer-term nature and investment return profile of our development and investment holdings, including those held as equity accounted investments.

Due to the Trust's portfolio composition and the long-term nature of projects in the development segment, the Trust expects that cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities will fluctuate from period to period and may differ from distributions paid and payable in a single reporting period. However, these cash flows are relevant in the determination of distributions, as cash flows relating to a development project will ultimately be fully received at project completion. The Trust considers these factors among others in evaluating its distribution policy as well as its assessment of cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities over the longer term. The Trust is expected to meet its ongoing obligations, including unitholder distributions, over the near term based on our current liquidity position. During and subsequent to the three and

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 15

six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust has renegotiated its asset management agreement with DAM to settle the management fee in units which will provide cash savings over the next three years, increased the borrowing base available on its credit facility and completed a private placement. We will use the increased liquidity available to the Trust to grow our recurring income segment through acquisitions and funding of our developments. These initiatives are expected to improve the Trust’s operating cash flows and provide further security for our ongoing distributions.

As required by National Policy 41-201, "Income Trusts and Other Indirect Offerings", the following tables outline the differences between cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities and distributions paid and payable in accordance with the guidelines:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, distributions paid and payable exceeded cash generated from (utilized in) operating activities by $6.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – distributions paid and payable exceeded cash generated from operating activities by $4.7 million and $11.3 million, respectively).

The following table summarizes net income (loss) and total distributions paid and payable for the periods indicated:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust's distributions paid and payable exceeded net loss by $7.9 million and $20.6 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2020 – distributions paid and payable exceeded net income (loss) by $10.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively).

Certain assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Unrealized fair value adjustments and other non-cash items are included in net income (loss) and can fluctuate from period to period. As a result, the Trust anticipates that distributions declared will, in certain periods, continue to vary from net income (loss). The total unrealized fair value adjustments and other non-cash items included in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated are summarized in the following table:

For the three months ended March 31, Three months ended June 30,

The total adjustments to fair values and other non-cash items included in net income (loss) comprise: deferred income tax recovery (expense), fair value adjustments in development and investment holdings, share of income (loss) from equity accounted investments, fair value adjustments to income properties, deferred compensation expense (recovery), asset management fees and other non-cash items.

To the extent that there are shortfalls in cash flows from operations relative to distributions paid and payable, the Trust has used and may continue to use its existing cash-on-hand as a source of funding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust funded the amount of the shortfalls in cash flows relative to the distributions paid and payable by utilizing existing cash-on-hand. The Trust continuously reviews its distribution policy to ensure it is reflective of the Trust’s business and asset profile. As at June 30, 2021, based on current and expected liquidity, the Trust does not anticipate suspending cash distributions. Accordingly, distributions are considered an economic return of capital until cash distributions from completed development projects are received in future years. The Asset Manager reviews the estimated annual distributable cash flow with the Board of Trustees to assist the Board in determining the targeted distribution amount, taking into consideration the duration of the current assets within the Trust's portfolio and the future investment strategy.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant impact on the Trust's available liquidity. The Trust's current available liquidity, including cash-on-hand and under its credit facility, is expected to be sufficient to address any reasonably

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 16

foreseeable impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the Trust's cash requirements. Refer to Section 4, "Capital Resources and Liquidity" of this MD&A.

4. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Trust’s primary sources of financing are cash generated from operating activities, lending activities, debt financing and refinancing, and project-level financing. Our primary uses of capital include: investments in development and investment holdings, equity accounted investments, debt principal repayments, interest payments, distributions, costs of attracting and retaining tenants, recurring property maintenance and major property improvements. It is the Trust’s objective to meet all our ongoing obligations with current cash, cash flows generated from operating activities, including profit from build-for-sale assets, cash from maturing lending portfolio investments, and cash from financing and refinancing activities.

SUMMARY OF DEBT

Total debt outstanding as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 relates to the Trust's income properties. The increase of $16.4 million relative to the prior year was due to financing obtained in conjunction with the Trust's two income properties acquired in the period. Partially offsetting were scheduled lump sum mortgage repayments and deferred financing costs on the credit facility and the aforementioned financing on two income properties.

As at June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust entered into a new credit facility agreement, which had a revised collateral base to be more beneficial to the Trust, among certain other amendments from the previous credit facility. The credit facility agreement provides liquidity of up to $50 million available to the Trust which will be utilized to acquire income properties meeting our impact criteria. As at June 30, 2021, no funds were drawn on the revolving credit facility

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 17

(December 31, 2020 – $nil) and the funds available under the facility were $nil, based on a formula-based calculation (December 31, 2020 – $nil). Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the available credit under the facility, as determined by the formula, was $50.0 million.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Trust closed on a private placement offering of $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of Impact Debentures with certain controlled affiliates of Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. The Impact Debentures bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, payable semi-annually on July 31 and January 31 of each year, commencing on January 31, 2022. The Impact Debentures are convertible at the holder's option into units of the Trust at a conversion price of $7.755/unit, representing a conversion rate of 128.9491 units per $1,000 principal amount of Impact Debentures. The Impact Debentures mature in July 2026 and are not redeemable before the maturity date. An amount equal to the proceeds from the Impact Debentures are intended to be used for eligible impact investments as described in the Impact Financing Framework, released earlier this year. The Impact Financing Framework allows the Trust to issue impact investing instruments including green, social or sustainability bonds, green loans, social loans or financial instruments to finance or refinance eligible impact projects.

FINANCIAL COVENANTS

The revolving credit facility, the financial guarantees and certain mortgages on income properties contain financial covenants that require the Trust and/or its subsidiaries to meet certain financial ratios and financial condition tests. A failure to meet these tests could result in default and, if not cured or waived, could result in an acceleration of the repayment in the underlying financing.

The following are financial covenants required to be met by MPCT LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust, under the terms of the revolving credit facility, as at June 30, 2021:

Financial covenant Financial covenant requirement
Unitholders' equity ≥ $450,000
Debt-to-asset value ≤ 40.0%

As at June 30, 2021, the Trust was in compliance with these financial covenants.

TOTAL EQUITY

As at June 30, 2021, the Trust had 64,935,685 units outstanding and a total unitholders’ equity balance of $520.0 million.

The Deferred Unit Incentive Plan ("DUIP") provides for the grant of deferred trust units ("DTUs") to Trustees of the Trust, officers and employees, as well as affiliates, including the Asset Manager. DTUs are granted at the discretion of the Trustees of the Trust and receive distributions in the form of income deferred trust units as they are declared and paid by the Trust. As at June 30, 2021, up to a maximum of 3.0 million DTUs were issuable under the DUIP. Distributions on the unvested DTUs are paid in the form of units converted at the market price on the date of distribution. As at June 30, 2021, there were 591,779 DTUs and income deferred trust units outstanding (December 31, 2020 – 546,165 units). As at August 3, 2021, 594,799 DTUs and income deferred trust units were outstanding.

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 18

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, an aggregate of 645,668 units were issued to DAM as part of the settlement of asset management fees. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Trust settled its management fee payable to DAM for the second quarter of 2021 with the issuance of 301,477 units. Please refer to Section 2.4, "Related Party Transactions".

DISTRIBUTIONS

The distributable cash flow and amount of monthly distributions to unitholders are determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust based on distributions received from MPCT LP, net of general and administrative expenses, operating and other expenses, and income tax expenses. The Asset Manager forecasts the annual distributable cash flow from the Trust’s operating segments to assist the Board of Trustees in determining the targeted distribution amount.

Our Declaration of Trust provides our Trustees with the discretion to determine the percentage payout of income that would be in the best interest of the Trust, which allows for any unforeseen expenditures. As at June 30, 2021, our monthly distribution rate was $0.033 per unit.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust repurchased 0.3 million units and 0.6 million units, respectively, under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") at a weighted average price of $6.67 per unit and $6.43 per unit, respectively, for a total cost of $2.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively. From the inception of the Trust's unit buyback program in December 2014 to August 3, 2021, the Trust has purchased 14.7 million units for cancellation for a total cost of $91.6 million.

As at August 3, 2021, the Asset Manager, DAM, owns 17.8 million units of the Trust, inclusive of 1.3 million units acquired under the DRIP, 2.7 million units acquired in satisfaction of asset management fees payable under the Management Agreement, and the remainder acquired on the open market for DAM's own account. In aggregate, DAM owns 27% of the Trust.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust received acceptance of its Notice of Intention to renew its prior NCIB from the TSX on January 18, 2021. The current NCIB commenced on January 20, 2021 and will remain in effect until the earlier of January 19, 2022 or the date on which the Trust has purchased the maximum number of units permitted under the NCIB. Under the NCIB, the Trust has the ability to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 4,742,017 units (representing 10% of the Trust’s public float of 47,420,178 units) through the facilities of the TSX. Daily repurchases will be limited to 14,943 units, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the units on the TSX during the last six calendar months preceding the commencement of the NCIB (being 59,774 units per day), other than purchases pursuant to applicable block purchase exemptions. The Trust renewed its NCIB because it believes that units may become available during the period of the bid at prices that would make the purchase of such units for cancellation in the best interest of the Trust and its unitholders.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Trust renewed its automatic securities repurchase plan (the "Plan") in order to facilitate purchases of its units under the NCIB. The Plan allows for purchases by Dream Impact of units at any time including, without limitation, times when the Trust would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods. Purchases will be made by the Trust based upon the parameters prescribed by the TSX and the terms of the parties' written agreement. Outside of such restricted or blackout periods, the units may also be purchased in accordance with management’s discretion. The Plan terminates on January 19, 2022.

(16,966)

Cash utilized in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.1 million compared with cash generated of $2.2 million in the comparative period, a decrease of $2.3 million as a result of changes in non-cash working capital. Cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $5.9 million compared with $2.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of $3.3 million, primarily related to distributions received from the Trust's Empire Lakeshore investment and changes in non-cash working capital.

Cash utilized in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $12.6 million compared with cash generated of $12.1 million in the prior year comparative period. The decrease of $24.7 million was driven by principal repayments in the lending portfolio and contributions to equity accounted investments. Cash utilized in the six months ended June 30, 2021, was $45.8 million, compared with cash generated of $3.1 million in the prior year comparative period. The decrease of $48.9 million was primarily a result of higher principal repayments in the lending portfolio, and the acquisition of two income properties in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by lower contributions to equity accounted investments compared to the prior year.

Cash utilized in financing activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $9.0 million and $0.6 million, compared to $9.5 million and $17.0 million in the prior year comparative periods. The decrease in cash utilized of $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was due to lower NCIB repurchases and distributions, offset by longterm debt borrowings in the period. The decrease in cash utilized of $16.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to financing related to the income property acquisitions, partially offset by certain mortgage repayments and higher unit repurchases through the NCIB in the current period.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Dream Impact and its operating subsidiaries are contingently liable under guarantees that are issued in the normal course of business and with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time. In the opinion of the Asset Manager, any liability that may arise from such contingencies would not have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of Dream Impact.

OTHER COMMITMENTS

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, guarantees of underlying development project loan amounts of third parties were $130.4 million (December 31, 2020 – $95.6 million). These guarantees include contingent liabilities for certain obligations of our joint venture partners, which are exclusive of our share of those guarantees that are included in equity accounted investments on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position. However, the Trust would have available to it the other joint venture partners’ share of assets to satisfy any obligations that may arise. From time to time, the Trust may be required to fund capital contributions to its various investments.

As at June 30, 2021, the Trust no longer holds an obligation as a guarantor on certain debt from sold income properties as the underlying debt was fully repaid by the purchaser (December 31, 2020 – $2.6 million).

The Trust has entered into lease agreements that may require tenant improvement costs of approximately $0.1 million (December 31, 2020 – $0.1 million).

We have presented certain non-IFRS measures because we believe these non-IFRS measures are important in evaluating the Trust's underlying operating performance, debt management and our ability to earn and pay cash distributions to unitholders. These non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned not to view non-IFRS measures as alternatives to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

"Debt-to-asset value" represents the total debt payable for the Trust divided by the total asset value of the Trust as at the applicable reporting date. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure in evaluating the amount of debt leverage; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

As at June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Total debt payable $ 105,201 $

Total assets 649,003 648,514
Debt-to-asset value 16.2% 13.6%

"Debt-to-total asset value, inclusive of project-level debt" represents the Trust’s total debt payable plus the debt payable within our development and investment holdings, and equity accounted investments, divided by the total asset value of the Trust plus the debt payable within our development and investment holdings, and equity accounted investments, as at the applicable reporting date. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure in evaluating the amount of debt leverage inclusive of project-level debt within our development and investment holdings, and equity accounted investments; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Development yield" is calculated using the estimated stabilized NOI at completion divided by the total estimated cost of development, including land and excluding rental revenue earned during development, which is forward-looking information, that is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Estimated cost of development" represents the total estimated costs to develop each site, specified to the point when the space is completed and able to be sold or leased, and includes the cost of land, building, interest and other carrying costs,

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 21

which is forward-looking information, that is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Estimated stabilized NOI" represents expected NOI for the property at completion when operations are stable, which is forward-looking information, that is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Estimated value upon completion" represents the fair value of a real estate asset upon completion of the development of such asset. The estimated value upon completion is forward-looking information and may differ materially from the estimated uses herein; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Internal rate of return ("IRR")" is calculated based on the estimated net pre-tax cash flow expected to be generated from each project considering revenues, expenditures as well as factors specific to the investment, such as the construction timeline and sale dates, including financing costs; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Market value" represents the carrying value of equity accounted investments as per the consolidated statements of financial position, adjusted for external appraisal values or internally prepared valuations using the most appropriate valuation methodology determined for each investment on a highest and best use basis, incorporating expected future cash flows, discount rates, other applicable market information and the change in the risk profile of the equity accounted investments as they are developed or achieve completion milestones by the Trust. The Trust believes that incorporating this adjustment in determining the value of the asset is a more useful measure to value the equity investments that would not ordinarily be captured within IFRS and the Trust's consolidated financial statements. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s and Asset Manager’s performance as it is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers.

"Net asset value ("NAV")" , an annual non-IFRS measure, represents total unitholders' equity per the consolidated financial statements, adjusted for market value adjustments for equity accounted investments (including applicable deferred income tax adjustments). The market value adjustments account for the applicable deferred income tax estimates considering the timing of their realization and, if appropriate, will be incorporated into the determination of the NAV. The applicable deferred income tax estimates related to the market value adjustments are calculated either based on income or capital gain rates or a combination thereof. The income tax rates used to determine NAV are dependent on various factors such as anticipated development plans, stage of development and current market trends applicable to the future development plans, and will be reviewed on a regular basis and are subject to change. Excluded from the NAV calculation are any market value adjustments with respect to liabilities as well as commitments/contracts that are not otherwise recorded as liabilities on the Trust's consolidated statements of financial position. The Trust has not appraised the lending portfolio, as the Trust intends to hold certain investments in the lending portfolio until maturity and its term to maturity is over the next one to four years; as such, this portfolio is considered fairly liquid and fair value approximates amortized cost. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s and Asset Manager’s performance as it is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. For a reconciliation of NAV to Unitholders' Equity, refer to the 2020 Annual Report as NAV is reported on an annual basis.

"Net asset value ("NAV") per unit" represents the net asset value of the Trust divided by the number of units outstanding at the end of the period. This non-IFRS measure is an important measure used by the Trust in evaluating the Trust’s performance as it is an indicator of the intrinsic value of the Trust; however, it is not defined by IFRS, does not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. For a reconciliation of NAV to Unitholders' Equity, refer to the 2020 Annual Report as NAV is reported on an annual basis.

7. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Trust does not have a Chief Executive Officer or a Chief Financial Officer. At June 30, 2021, the President and Chief Responsible Officer of DAM and Chief Financial Officer of Dream Impact Master GP (the "Certifying Officers") are responsible for and, along with the assistance of senior management of the Asset Manager, have designed or caused to be designed under the Certifying Officers' supervision, disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P") as defined in National Instrument 52-109, “Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings”, to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Trust is made known to the Certifying Officers in a timely manner and information required to be disclosed by the Trust is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation, and have designed internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR") to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there have not been any changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

8. RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

PUBLIC HEALTH RISK

Adverse Canadian, U.S. and global market, economic and political conditions, including dislocations and volatility in the credit markets and general global economic uncertainty, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition with the potential to impact, among others: (i) the value of our properties; (ii) the availability or the terms of financing that we have or may anticipate utilizing; (iii) our ability to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance any outstanding debt when due; (iv) the occupancy rates in our properties; and (v) the ability of our tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or to satisfy rental payments under existing leases.

In late 2019, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), spread around the world, with resulting business and social disruption. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Public health crises, pandemics and

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 23

epidemics, such as those caused by new strains of viruses such as H5N1 (avian flu), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and, most recently, COVID-19, could, particularly if prolonged, adversely impact our and our customers’ businesses, and thereby our and our customers’ ability to meet payment obligations, by disrupting supply chains and transactional activities, causing reduced traffic at our properties, leading to mobility restrictions and other quarantine measures, precipitating increased government regulation and negatively impacting local, national or global economies. Contagion in one of our properties or markets or the quarantine of one of our properties could negatively impact our reputation, the reputation of our customers and the attractiveness of that market. All of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and our ability to make cash distributions to unitholders.

The speed and extent of the spread of COVID-19, and the duration and intensity of resulting business disruption and related financial and social impact, are uncertain, and such adverse effects may be material. Efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 could severely impact the operation of our properties and development projects and our customers’ businesses. To date, a number of governments have declared states of emergency and have implemented restrictive measures such as travel bans, quarantine and self-isolation. The Trust is continuously monitoring the situation but is unable to accurately predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its results of operations, due to uncertainties including the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the rise of COVID-19 variants of concern and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain COVID-19 or to treat its impact. While governmental agencies and private sector participants will seek to mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19, the efficacy and timing of such measures remains uncertain. If the outbreak of COVID-19 and related developments lead to a prolonged or significant impact on global, national or local markets or economic growth, the Trust’s cash flows, financial condition or results of operations and our ability to make cash distributions to unitholders may be materially and adversely affected.

Furthermore, the outbreak of COVID-19 may affect our and our customers’ businesses by disrupting supply chains and transactional activities. The Trust and many of our customers rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers, many of which are located outside of Canada. This outbreak has resulted, or may result, in the extended shutdown of certain businesses, which may in turn result in disruptions, delays or reductions to our and our customers’ supply chains. These may include disruptions from the temporary closure of third-party supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in supply or restrictions on the export, import or shipment of products, including those sourced from China, Europe or the United States.

The outbreak of COVID-19 may also negatively impact consumer demand for residential, retail or commercial real estate products and services or our customers’ products or services as well as consumer spending, which may negatively impact our business or the business of our customers. These factors may impact our customers’ ability to meet their payment and other obligations due to the Trust, which could have a material adverse effect on the Trust.

Finally, the actual and threatened spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely affect global economies and financial markets resulting in a prolonged economic downturn and a decline in the value of the Trust’s unit price. The extent to which COVID-19 (or any other disease, epidemic or pandemic) impacts business activity or financial results, and the duration of any such negative impact, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions required to contain or treat its impact, among others.

In addition to the risk factor above, for a discussion of the material risks relating to the Trust and its business and information concerning Risks and Risk Management, please refer to the 2020 Annual Report and the 2020 Annual Information Form, which are found on our website at www.dreamimpacttrust.ca and filed electronically on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") under the Trust's profile at www.sedar.com.

9. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

9.1 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, the result of which forms the basis of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the affected asset or liability in the future. The critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions applied during the quarter are consistent with those set out in Note 4 to the Trust's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 24

9.2 ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Trust's condensed consolidated financial statements that are likely to have an impact on the Trust are listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations the Trust reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Trust intends to adopt those standards when they become effective.

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 1, PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendments also clarify that the settlement of a liability refers to the transfer by the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, and/or other assets or services. Early application is permitted. The Trust intends to adopt the amendments to IAS 1 on the required effective date of January 1, 2023. The Trust is in the process of assessing the impact of this amendment.

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1 SUMMARY OF IMPACT INVESTMENTS

In developing the Dream Impact Management System, we created pathways for each of our impact investments, which aligns with our three verticals and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. For further details, refer to our inaugural impact report published on our website, www.dreamimpacttrust.ca.

Zibi, including Zibi Community Utility (Ottawa, Ontario; Gatineau, Quebec) (Carrying value $95.1 million)

Zibi is our 34-acre community, located in Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec, overlooking the Ottawa River. This community is expected to welcome approximately 5,000 residents and 6,000 workers upon completion. The project is a multi-phase development that includes over 4.0 million sf of density consisting of approximately 1,900 residential units, including purpose-built rental units, over 2.0 million sf of commercial space and 8 acres of riverfront parks and plazas.

Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

We will be developing Ottawa and Gatineau's first net-zero carbon heating and cooling system for all tenants and residents at Zibi. The District Energy System ("Zibi Community Utility" or "ZCU"), utilizes post-industrial waste energy for heating and the Ottawa River for cooling. ZCU will enable the entire Zibi development to reach its goal of being carbon-neutral, consistent with the Federal Government's mandate to move to net-zero emissions by 2050. Zibi will also feature nearly 8 acres of riverfront green space and 2.0 million sf of vibrant commercial space. Zibi is among the first One Planet MasterPlanned Communities in the country, making it one of Canada's most sustainable neighbourhoods.

Attainable and Affordable Housing

The Trust plans to incorporate affordable housing at each of the residential rental buildings at Zibi. Block 10, the 162-unit residential rental building currently under construction, has over 95% of its units designated as affordable.

Inclusive Communities

Zibi is developed beneficially with and for the Algonquin Anishinábe nation, as we are engaging with the Algonquin Anishinábe nation to ensure that First Nations history, presence and culture are reflected throughout the development. The development has formalized a partnership to ensure this continues throughout the life of the project which includes, but is not limited to, mandates for Algonquin employment, youth engagements and annual meetings with an advisory council of Algonquin Anishinábe.

West Don Lands (Toronto, Ontario) (Carrying value $19.7 million)

West Don Lands is a purpose-built multi-family rental apartment community in Toronto's downtown east-end, adjacent to the Canary and Distillery Districts. The development is expected to feature over 2,000 rental units, as well as ancillary retail and office components, which are expected to include 5,000 sf of dedicated community space. Significant progress has been made on the West Don Lands development over the last few years, including progress on construction on Block 8 and Blocks 3/4/7 (approximately 1,600 residential units), with zoning approval received on Block 20 in 2020.

Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

Each of the buildings at West Don Lands will be built to LEED Gold standard and will have green roofs. The development will

Dream Impact Trust 2021 First Quarter | 25

also incorporate water efficiency fixtures and generate clean energy in the form of solar panels. Each of these features will contribute to the Trust's goal of being carbon neutral by 2035.

Attainable and Affordable Housing

West Don Lands is the largest affordable housing community currently under construction in Canada and will help address housing affordability, one of the most challenging issues facing Canadian cities. Upon completion, the development is expected to include 684 affordable units, priced at an approximate 50% discount to market rent in downtown Toronto.

Inclusive Communities

West Don Lands will be an inclusive community. The affordable housing units will be distributed throughout the building, with all tenants having access to the building amenities, unit quality and finishes equivalent to the suites rented at market price. The Trust is working towards establishing an inclusive process for determining how to fairly distribute access to the affordable units.

Brightwater Development (Mississauga, Ontario) (Carrying value $37.5 million)

Brightwater, a 72-acre waterfront development in Mississauga's Port Credit area is expected to transform the site to a complete, vibrant and diverse community, will include an elementary school, YMCA and 18 acres of parks and outdoor space. The development won the Building Industry and Land Development Association Pinnacle Award in 2020 for Best New Community-Planned/Under Development. In 2020, the first two condo buildings were brought to market and sold out. In 2021, units brought to market at Brightwater Towns and The Mason were 100% and 86% sold, respectively.

Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

When the Trust entered into the development in 2017, it was contaminated due to its history as an oil refinery, requiring the excavation of 1.4 million tonnes of soil. The source remediation program has since been completed and vertical construction is expected to commence in 2021. The new community will incorporate a number of features that will result in a transitfriendly ecosystem, including installing electric vehicle charging stations, bike lanes and bike parking, and providing a shuttle bus to the Port Credit GO station to promote sustainable commuting. All buildings across the development will incorporate best-in-class stormwater management systems and energy efficiency features.

Inclusive Communities

The Brightwater community is expected to include nearly 3,000 residential units and over 350,000 sf of vibrant retail and commercial space. It will embody waterfront living while promoting connectivity, mental and physical health, and well-being in the community. To facilitate this, the development will include 18 acres of new parks and green space, which will include the Village Square, a planned hub for community programming.

Canary Block 10 (Toronto, Ontario) (Carrying value $1.4 million)

Canary Block 10 is a mixed-use project in downtown Toronto that is expected to include a 238-unit residential rental building, a 206-unit condo building, and the first purpose-built Indigenous Hub in any major North American city. The development will be located within the Canary District, adjacent to the West Don Lands and Distillery District in downtown Toronto.

Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

Each of the buildings at Canary Block 10 will be built to LEED Gold standard.

Inclusive Communities

Canary Block 10 features an innovative partnership with Anishinábe Health Toronto ("AHT"). AHT is a community health centre with the mission to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous People by providing Traditional Healing within a multi-disciplinary health care model. The Indigenous Hub will provide a state-of-the-art five-storey facility that draws from Indigenous architectural and design influences, and will combine essential health and education facilities to create a thriving centre of community for the city's Indigenous People. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the ground breaking for Canary Block 10 commenced.

Income Properties (GTA, Ontario) (Carrying value $244.7 million)

The Trust's income properties, each of which are located in the Greater Toronto Area, contribute to delivering impact under the Trust's environmental sustainability and resilience, and inclusive communities verticals.

Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

The Trust is committed to improving resource efficiency across all income properties, with significant capital expenditures anticipated over the next five years. By 2025, the Trust is targeting a 20% reduction in GHG emissions across the income property portfolio. Certain of these capital expenditures include retrofitting all lighting to LED, installing low-flow fixtures in

Dream Impact Trust 2021 Second Quarter | 26

all washrooms, installing real-time utility metering and pursuing Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada ("BOMA") certifications for buildings not currently certified.

Inclusive Communities

The Trust is promoting tenant health and wellness by building and promoting the use of amenity packages to encourage a more active lifestyle for our tenants, including end-of-trip facilities and bike storage. The Trust is also modifying its procurement process to be more inclusive and promote opportunities for underserved populations.

10.5 TAX INFORMATION

The Trust pays a monthly distribution to its unitholders of which only a portion is taxable. A taxable Canadian holder of the Trust units is required to include the taxable portion of the distribution in income. Any amount in excess of the after-tax net income of the Trust payable to the unitholder will generally not be included in the unitholders' income for the year. The nontaxable portion of the distribution received by a unitholder will reduce the unitholders' tax cost of their investment. On an annual basis, the unitholders will be provided with information relating to the tax treatment of the monthly distributions.

The Trust has determined that the distributions should be treated in the following manner:

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015
