Management's Responsibility

First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust’s consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) are the responsibility of Management and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and the MD&A necessarily involves the use of estimates based on Management’s judgment, particularly when transactions affecting the current accounting period cannot be finalized with certainty until future periods. In addition, in preparing this financial information, Management must make determinations as to the relevancy of information to be included, and estimates and assumptions that affect the reported information. The MD&A also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions and events, sources of liquidity and capital resources, operating trends, risks and uncertainties. Actual results in the future may differ materially from the present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected. The consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and in light of information available up to February 9, 2021.

Management is also responsible for the maintenance of financial and operating systems, which include effective controls to provide reasonable assurance that First Capital's assets are safeguarded, transactions are properly authorized and recorded, and that reliable financial information is produced.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring that Management fulfills its responsibilities, including the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements and all of the information in the MD&A, and the maintenance of financial and operating systems, through its Audit Committee, that is comprised of independent Trustees who are not involved in the day-to-day operations of First Capital. Each quarter, the Audit Committee meets with Management and, as necessary, with the independent auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, to satisfy itself that Management’s responsibilities are properly discharged and to review and report to the Board of Trustees on the consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the independent auditor conducts an examination each year in order to express a professional opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 62

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Unitholders of First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust and its subsidiaries ("the Trust"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Trust as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs").

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit 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 Trust in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit 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 the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor’s opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements.The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of Investment Properties
The Trust’s investment property portfolio is comprised primarily of
income-producing properties and properties under development
with a fair value of $9.5 billion which represents 94.5% of total
assets at December 31, 2020.
With the assistance of our real estate valuation specialists, we
evaluated the appropriateness of the underlying valuation
methodology, and performed the following audit procedures,
among others:
The Trust employs a certified staff appraiser to value the
investment property portfolio. The valuation methodology for
these investment properties is primarily based on an income
approach, utilizing the direct capitalization method and/or the
discounted cash flow method.
We assessed the competence and objectivity of management’s
valuation department, including the certified staff appraiser, by
reviewing the qualifications and expertise of the individuals
involved in the preparation and review of the valuations.

63 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Independent Auditor's Report

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The valuation of the Trust’s investment property portfolio is a key
audit matter given the inherently subjective nature of significant
assumptions including discount rates, stabilized capitalization
rates, terminal capitalization rates, and stabilized cash flows or net
operating income which are based on vacancy and leasing
assumptions, as applicable. These assumptions are influenced by
property-specific characteristics including location, type and
quality of the properties and tenancy agreements.
For properties under development, depending on the complexity
and stage of completion, costs to complete, leasing and
construction risk are additional significant assumptions that impact
the final valuation.
We selected a sample of properties where either the fair value
change from prior year or significant assumptions, fell outside our
expectations, based on our understanding of the geographical real
estate market for the specific asset type. For this sample of
investment properties, we evaluated the significant assumptions
by comparison to the expected real estate market benchmark
range for similar assets and tenancies, in similar locations. We also
considered whether there were any additional asset-specific
characteristics that may impact the significant assumptions utilized
and that these were appropriately considered in the overall
assessment of fair value.
Note 2(h) of the consolidated financial statements describes the
accounting policy for investment properties, including the
valuation method and valuation inputs.
We assessed the accuracy of management’s historical fair value
estimates through comparison to transactions to acquire and
dispose of interests in investment properties completed by the
Trust.
Note 3(b) of the consolidated financial statements discloses the
sensitivity of the fair value of investment properties to a change in
stabilized capitalization rates and stabilized net operating income.
For properties under development, in addition to the procedures
performed above, we compared construction budgets to actual
expenditures and evaluated estimated costs to complete by
reference to third party data, as applicable, on a sample basis. We
also evaluated whether the discount rate used to value properties
under development considered the complexity of the development
and stage of completion.
We evaluated the Trust’s critical accounting policies and related
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements to assess
appropriateness and conformitywith IFRS.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

  • Management’s Discussion and Analysis; and

  • The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report.

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 audit 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 audit, 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, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. If, based on the work we will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance.

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 IFRSs, 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 Trust’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 Trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Trust’s financial reporting process.

FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 64

Independent Auditor's Report

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 Trust’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 Trust’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 Trust 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.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 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 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 Kim Tang.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust ("First Capital", "FCR", or the “Trust”) is an unincorporated, open-ended mutual fund trust governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and established pursuant to a declaration of trust dated October 16, 2019, as may be amended from time to time (the "Declaration of Trust"). First Capital engages in the business of acquiring, developing, redeveloping, owning and managing well-located, mixed-use urban real estate in Canada's most densely populated neighbourhoods. The Trust is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “FCR.UN”, and its head office is located at 85 Hanna Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario, M6K 3S3.

Effective December 30, 2019, First Capital Realty Inc. (the "Company") completed its Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") to convert into a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). Under the Arrangement, Shareholders of the Company received one trust unit ("Trust Unit") or one Class B Limited Partnership Unit ("Exchangeable Unit") of a controlled limited partnership of the Trust, for each common share of the Company held. Consequently, any references to common shares, Shareholders and per share amounts relate to periods prior to the conversion on December 30, 2019 and any references to Trust Units, Unitholders and per unit amounts relate to periods subsequent to December 30, 2019. Since the Trust is a continuation of First Capital Realty Inc., the prior year comparatives included in these audited annual consolidated financial statements refer to activities of the Company.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

(b) Basis of presentation

The audited annual consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in all material respects.

Additionally, Management, in measuring the Trust's performance or making operating decisions, distinguishes its operations on a geographical basis. First Capital operates in Canada and has three operating segments: Eastern, which includes operations primarily in Quebec and Ottawa; Central, which includes the Trust’s Ontario operations excluding Ottawa; and Western, which includes operations in Alberta and British Columbia. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer.

These audited annual consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees and authorized for issue on February 9, 2021.

(c) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Trust as well as the entities that are controlled by the Trust (subsidiaries). The Trust controls an entity when the Trust is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Trust. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and other transactions between consolidated entities are eliminated.

(d) Trust Units

First Capital's Trust Units are redeemable at the option of the holder, and, therefore, are considered puttable instruments in accordance with IAS 32, "Financial Instruments – Presentation" ("IAS 32"). Puttable instruments are required to be

71 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

accounted for as financial liabilities, except where certain conditions are met in accordance with IAS 32, in which case, the puttable instruments may be presented as equity.

To be presented as equity, a puttable instrument must meet all of the following conditions: (i) it must entitle the holder to a pro-rata share of the entity's net assets in the event of the entity's dissolution; (ii) it must be in the class of instruments that is subordinate to all other instruments; (iii) all instruments in the class in (ii) above must have identical features; (iv) other than the redemption feature, there can be no other contractual obligations that meet the definition of a liability; and (v) the expected cash flows for the instrument must be based substantially on the profit or loss of the entity or change in the fair value of the instrument.

The Trust Units meet the conditions of IAS 32 and, accordingly, are presented as equity in the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Unit

As First Capital's Trust Units are puttable instruments and, therefore, financial liabilities, they may not be considered as equity for the purposes of calculating net income on a per unit basis under IAS 33, "Earnings per Share". Consequently, the Trust has not reported earnings per unit.

(e) Exchangeable Units

The Class B Limited Partnership Units of First Capital REIT Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of the Trust, are exchangeable, at the option of the holder, into Trust Units. The Exchangeable Units are considered a financial liability as there is a contractual obligation for First Capital to deliver Trust Units (which as noted in Note 2(d) are puttable instruments) upon exchange. Exchangeable Units are required to be classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The distributions declared on the Exchangeable Units are accounted for as interest expense.

(f) Business combinations

At the time of acquisition of property, First Capital considers whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business. The Trust accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set of activities is acquired in addition to the property.

The cost of a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred at acquisition date fair value. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date. The Trust recognizes any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Trust at its acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

When the acquisition of property does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities. The cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values, and no goodwill is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are capitalized to investment property at the time the acquisition is completed.

(g) Investments in joint arrangements

First Capital accounts for its investment in joint ventures using the equity method and accounts for investments in joint operations by recognizing the Trust’s direct rights to assets, obligations for liabilities, revenues and expenses. Under the equity method, the interest in the joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Trust’s share of the net assets of the joint ventures, less distributions received and less any impairment in the value of individual investments. First Capital's income statement reflects its share of the results of operations of the joint ventures after tax, if applicable.

(h) Investment properties

Investment properties consist of income-producing properties and development land that are held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties also include properties that are being constructed or developed for future use, as well as ground leases to which the Trust is the lessee. The Trust classifies its investment properties on its consolidated balance sheets as follows:

(i) Investment properties

Investment properties include First Capital's income producing portfolio, properties currently under development or redevelopment, and any adjacent land parcels available for expansion but not currently under development. Also included in investment properties is development land, which includes land parcels at various stages of development planning, primarily for future retail or mixed-use occupancy.

(ii) Investment properties classified as held for sale

Investment property is classified as held for sale when it is expected that the carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than from continuing use. For this to be the case, the property must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property, and its sale must be highly probable, generally within one year. Upon designation as held for sale, the investment property continues to be measured at fair value and is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets.

Valuation method

Investment properties are recorded at fair value, which reflects current market conditions, at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses from changes in fair values are recorded in net income in the period in which they arise.

The determination of fair values requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the values presented, such that actual values in sales transactions may differ from those presented.

First Capital's policy in determining the fair value of its investment properties at the end of each reporting period, includes the following approaches:

  1. Internal valuations – by a certified staff appraiser employed by the Trust, in accordance with professional appraisal standards and IFRS. Every investment property has an internal valuation completed at least once a year.

  2. Value updates – primarily consisting of Management's review of the key assumptions from previous internal valuations and updating the value for changes in the property cash flow, physical condition and changes in market conditions.

External appraisals are obtained periodically by Management. These appraisals are used as data points, together with other market information accumulated by Management, in arriving at its conclusions on key assumptions and values. External appraisals are completed by an independent appraisal firm, in accordance with professional appraisal standards and IFRS.

The selection of the approach for each property is made based upon the following criteria:

  • Property type – this includes an evaluation of a property's complexity, stage of development, time since acquisition, and other specific opportunities or risks associated with the property. Stable properties and recently acquired properties will generally receive a value update, while properties under development will typically be valued using internal valuations until completion.

  • Market risks – specific risks in a region or a trade area may warrant an internal valuation for certain properties.

  • Changes in overall economic conditions – significant changes in overall economic conditions may increase the number of external or internal appraisals performed.

  • Business needs – financings or acquisitions and dispositions may require an external appraisal.

Valuation Inputs

First Capital's investment property is measured using Level 3 inputs (in accordance with the IFRS fair value hierarchy), as not all significant inputs are based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). These unobservable inputs reflect

73 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

the Trust’s own assumptions of how market participants would price investment property, and are developed based on the best information available, including the Trust’s own data. These significant unobservable inputs include:

  • Stabilized cash flows or net operating income, which is based on the location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts, or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, adjusted for estimated vacancy rates based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease and expected maintenance costs.

  • Stabilized capitalization rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, which are based on location, size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date. Stabilized capitalization rates are used for the direct capitalization method and discount and terminal capitalization rates are used in the discounted cash flow method described below.

  • Costs to complete for properties under development.

(i) Investment properties

Investment properties that are income producing are appraised primarily based on an income approach that reflects stabilized cash flows or net operating income from existing tenants with the property in its existing state, since purchasers typically focus on expected income. Internal valuations are conducted using and placing reliance on both the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method (including the estimated proceeds from a potential future disposition).

(ii) Properties under development

Properties undergoing development, redevelopment or expansion are valued either (i) using the discounted cash flow method, with a deduction for costs to complete the project, or (ii) at cost, when cost approximates fair value. Stabilized capitalization rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, as applicable, are adjusted to reflect lease-up assumptions and construction risk, when appropriate. Adjacent land parcels held for future development are valued based on comparable sales of commercial land.

The primary method of appraisal for development land is the comparable sales approach, which considers recent sales activity for similar land parcels in the same or similar markets to estimate a value on either a per acre basis or on a basis of per square foot buildable. Such values are applied to First Capital’s properties after adjusting for factors specific to the site, including its location, zoning, servicing and configuration.

The cost of development properties includes direct development costs, including internal development costs, realty taxes and borrowing costs attributable to the development. Borrowing costs associated with expenditures on properties under development or redevelopment are capitalized. Borrowing costs are also capitalized on land or properties acquired specifically for development or redevelopment when activities necessary to prepare the asset for development or redevelopment are in progress. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized is determined first by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant, and otherwise by applying a weighted average cost of borrowings to eligible expenditures after adjusting for borrowings associated with other specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross cost incurred on those borrowings, less any interest income earned on funds not yet employed in construction funding.

Capitalization of borrowing costs and all other costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare an asset for development or redevelopment begin, and continue until the date that construction is complete and all necessary occupancy and related permits have been received, whether or not the space is leased. If the Trust is required as a condition of a lease to construct tenant improvements that enhance the value of the property, then capitalization of costs continues until such improvements are completed. Capitalization ceases if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted.

As required by IFRS in determining investment property fair value, the Trust makes no adjustments for portfolio premiums and discounts, nor for any value attributable to the Trust's management platform.

FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 74

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

(i) Hotel property

First Capital accounts for its hotel property as property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model. Hotel property is recognized initially at fair value if acquired in a business combination and is subsequently carried at fair value at the revaluation date less any accumulated impairment and subsequent accumulated amortization. The Trust amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis over their relevant estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the assets range from 3 to 40 years. The fair value of the hotel property is based on an income approach and determined using a discounted cash flow model.

Revaluation of the hotel property is typically performed annually, unless market conditions arise which would require quarterly revaluations. Where the carrying amount of an asset is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI") and accumulated in equity within revaluation surplus, unless the increase reverses a previously recognized revaluation loss recorded through prior period net income, in which case that portion of the increase is recognized in net income. Where the carrying amount of an asset is decreased, the decrease is recognized in OCI to the extent of any balance existing in revaluation surplus in respect of the asset, with the remainder recognized in net income. Revaluation gains are recognized in OCI, and are not subsequently recycled into profit or loss. The cumulative revaluation surplus is transferred directly to retained earnings when the asset is derecognized.

The revenue and operating expenses of the hotel property are included within net operating income in First Capital's consolidated statements of income.

(j) Residential development inventory

Residential development inventory which is developed for sale is recorded at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value. Residential development inventory is reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognized in net income when the carrying value of the property exceeds its net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on projections of future cash flows which take into account the development plans for each project and Management’s best estimate of the most probable set of anticipated economic conditions.

The cost of residential development inventory includes borrowing costs directly attributable to projects under active development. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized is determined first by reference to borrowings specific to the project, where relevant, and otherwise by applying a weighted average capitalization rate for the Trust’s other borrowings to eligible expenditures. Borrowing costs are not capitalized on residential development inventory where no development activity is taking place.

Transfers into residential inventory are based on a change in use, evidenced by the commencement of development activities with a view to sell, at which point an investment property would be transferred to inventory. Transfers from residential inventory to investment property are based on a change in used evidenced by Management's commitment to use the property for rental income purposes and the establishment of an operating lease.

(k) Taxation

First Capital qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada)(the "Act"). The Trust qualifies for the REIT Exemption and, as such, the Trust itself will not be subject to income taxes provided it continues to qualify as a REIT for purposes of the Act. A REIT is not taxable and not considered to be a Specified Investment Flow-Through Trust provided it complies with certain tests and distributes all of its taxable income in a taxation year to its Unitholders. The Trust is a flow-through vehicle and accounts only for income taxes pertaining to its corporate subsidiaries. The Trust's most significant corporate subsidiary, First Capital Realty Inc., is a mutual fund corporation ("MFC").

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be received from or paid to tax authorities based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated balance sheet dates.

Deferred tax liabilities are measured by applying the appropriate tax rate to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and their respective tax basis. The appropriate tax rate is determined by reference to the rates that are expected to apply to the year and the jurisdiction in which the assets are expected to be realized or the liabilities settled.

75 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Deferred tax assets are recorded for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. For the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities where investment property is measured using the fair value model, the presumption is that the carrying amount of an investment property is recovered through sale, as opposed to presuming that the economic benefits of the investment property will be substantially consumed through use over time.

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

(l) Provisions

A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. First Capital records provisions, including asset retirement obligations, when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Provisions are remeasured at each consolidated balance sheet date using the current discount rate. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

(m) Unit-based Compensation Plans

Unit Options, Restricted Units (“RUs”), Performance Units (“PUs”), and Trustee Deferred Units (“DUs”) are issued by First Capital from time to time as non-cash compensation. These unit-based compensation plans are measured at fair value at the grant date and compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of income consistent with the vesting features of each plan. The unit-based compensation plans are accounted for as cash-settled awards as the Trust is an open-ended trust making its units redeemable, and thus requiring outstanding Unit Options, RUs, PUs and DUs to be recognized as a liability and carried at fair value. The liability is adjusted for changes in fair value with such adjustments being recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which they occur. The liability balance is reduced as Unit Options are exercised or RUs, PUs and DUs are settled for Trust Units and recorded in equity.

(n) Revenue recognition

First Capital has not transferred substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties and, therefore, accounts for leases with its tenants as operating leases.

Revenue recognition under a lease commences when the tenant has a right to use the leased asset, which is typically when the space is turned over to the tenant to begin fixturing. Where the Trust is required to make additions to the property in the form of tenant improvements that enhance the value of the property, revenue recognition begins upon substantial completion of those improvements.

First Capital's revenues are earned from lease contracts with tenants and include both a lease component and a nonlease component.

Base rent, straight-line rent, realty tax recoveries, lease termination fees and percentage rent are considered lease components and are in the scope of IFRS 16, "Leases" ("IFRS 16").

The total amount of contractual base rent to be received from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including any fixturing period. A receivable, which is included in the carrying amount of an investment property, is recorded for the difference between the straight-line rental revenue recorded and the contractual amount received.

Realty tax recoveries are variable recoveries relating to the leased property and do not transfer a good or service to the lessee and as a result are recognized as costs are incurred and chargeable to tenants.

FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 76

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

Lease termination fees are earned from tenants in connection with the cancellation or early termination of their remaining lease obligations, and is recognized when a lease termination agreement is signed and collection is reasonably assured.

Percentage rents are recognized when the sales thresholds set out in the leases have been met.

Operating cost recoveries relate to the property management services provided to maintain the property and are considered non-lease components subject to the guidance in IFRS 15, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers " ("IFRS 15") . The property management services are considered a performance obligation, meeting the criteria for over time recognition and are recognized in the period that recoverable costs are incurred or services are performed.

(o) Financial instruments and derivatives

In accordance with IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”) all financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as FVTPL, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or amortized cost.

Derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts.

First Capital enters into forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross currency swaps to hedge its risks associated with movements in interest rates and the movement in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedging relationship is terminated, when the instrument no longer qualifies as a hedge, or when the hedged item is sold or terminated. In cash flow hedging relationships, the portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative that is considered to be effective is recognized in OCI while the portion considered to be ineffective is recognized in net income. Unrealized hedging gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) are reclassified to net income in the periods when the hedged item affects net income. Gains and losses on derivatives are immediately reclassified to net income when the hedged item is sold or terminated or when it is determined that a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, are recognized in other gains (losses) and (expenses).

77 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The following summarizes the Trust’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Derivative liabilities FVTPL

(1) The Loans whose cash flows are not solely payments of principal or interest are classified as FVTPL.

In determining fair values, the Trust evaluates counterparty credit risks and makes adjustments to fair values and credit spreads based upon changes in these risks.

Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in determining the fair values as follows:

  • (i) Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access at the measurement date. The Trust’s investments in equity securities are measured using Level 1 inputs;

  • (ii) Level 2 Inputs – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). The Trust’s derivative assets and liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs; and

  • (iii) Level 3 Inputs – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). These unobservable inputs reflect the Trust's own assumptions about the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available, including the Trust’s own data. The Trust's loans and mortgages receivable classified as FVTPL and other investments are measured using Level 3 inputs.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Trust determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments with original maturities at the time of acquisition of three months or less.

FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 78

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

(q) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgments that have been made in applying First Capital's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the consolidated financial statements:

(i) Investment properties

In applying the Trust’s policy with respect to investment properties, judgment is applied in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property and, for properties under development, identifying the point at which capitalization of borrowing and other costs ceases.

(ii) Hedge accounting

Where the Trust undertakes to apply cash flow hedge accounting, it must determine whether such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the reporting periods for which they were designated.

(iii) Income taxes

First Capital retains its REIT status if it meets the prescribed conditions under the Act. Management uses judgment in its interpretation and application of these conditions. First Capital determined that it qualifies as a REIT for the current period and expects to meet the prescribed conditions going forward. However, should the Trust no longer meet the REIT conditions, substantial adverse tax consequences may result.

With respect to its corporate subsidiaries, the Trust exercises judgment in estimating deferred tax assets and liabilities. Income tax laws may be subject to different interpretations, and the income tax expense recorded by the Trust reflects the Trust's interpretation of the relevant tax laws. The Trust is also required to estimate the timing of reversals of temporary differences between accounting and taxable income in determining the appropriate rate to apply in calculating deferred taxes.

(r) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

First Capital makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of earnings for the reporting periods.

The outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which the World Health Organization has declared a global pandemic, and government related action to shutdown large parts of the economy has impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant volatility in certain equity and debt markets. The extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on communities and the economy remains unclear. In the preparation of these audited annual consolidated financial statements, the Trust has incorporated the potential impact of COVID-19 into its estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amount of earnings for the reporting periods using the best available information as of December 31, 2020. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and assumptions that the Trust considers critical and/or could be impacted by COVID-19 include those underlying the valuation of investment properties, the valuation of its hotel property, the net realizable value of residential inventory, the carrying amount of its investment in joint ventures, the estimate of any expected credit losses on amounts receivable or loans and mortgages receivable and determining the values of financial instruments for disclosure purposes (Note 23).

Additional critical accounting estimates and assumptions include those used for estimating deferred taxes (Note 21), and estimating the fair value of unit-based compensation arrangements (Note 15).

(s) Impacts of COVID-19

Rent Abatements

FCR accounts for rental abatements, in connection with tenants experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 and qualify under the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance ("CECRA") program, under the derecognition rules of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments". Financial assets, such as trade receivables, are derecognized when all or a portion of outstanding amounts will be forgiven or abated and no further collection activities will be pursued. The forgiveness or abatement of the tenant receivable is recognized in the period First Capital forgoes the contractual right to all or a

79 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

portion of the outstanding receivable and is recognized as a loss in the consolidated statement of income, under property operating costs.

Government Assistance

First Capital recognizes government assistance, in the form of grants or forgivable loans, when there is reasonable assurance that the Trust will be able to comply with the conditions attached to the assistance and that the assistance will be received. Government assistance that compensates FCR for expenses incurred is recognized in the consolidated statements of income, as a reduction of the related expense, in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.

(b) Investment property valuation

Stabilized overall capitalization, terminal, and discount rates by region for investment properties valued under the Income Approach are set out in the table below:

As at December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Weighted Average Weighted Average
Central Eastern Western Central Eastern Western
Region Region Region Total Region Region Region Total
Overall Capitalization Rate 4.7% 5.7% 5.1% 5.0% 4.7% 5.8% 5.1% 5.0%
Terminal Capitalization Rate 4.9% 6.0% 5.4% 5.2% 5.0% 6.1% 5.4% 5.3%
Discount Rate 5.5% 6.5% 5.9% 5.8% 5.5% 6.6% 5.9% 5.8%

The majority of the Trust's portfolio is valued under the Income Approach using the DCF method. As at December 31, 2020, the weighted average valuation yields (stabilized overall capitalization, terminal, and discount rates) used in valuing those investment properties under the Income Approach remained largely unchanged from December 31, 2019. Slight decreases in the weighted average terminal capitalization rates in the Eastern and Central regions were due to dispositions of properties that were inconsistent with the Trust's Super Urban Strategy. Over the past 24 months, the Trust's disposition program has been focused on disposing of lower quality assets with higher capitalization rates which has resulted in a reduction in the weighted average in-place overall capitalization rate for the portfolio.

Due to the continuing risk created by the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in an economic slowdown, greater volatility in the capital markets, limited investment transactions, and a lower interest rate environment, the Trust has been closely monitoring valuation yields. The Trust has not observed a change to valuation yields for its properties at this time and as such, has not adjusted valuation yields in the valuation models used to determine the fair value of investment properties. To reflect the potential impact of COVID-19 on the cash flows in the valuation models, a comprehensive portfolio review was undertaken, on a property by property basis to identify properties with greater exposure to tenants deemed nonessential under government directives and therefore potentially subject to prolonged closures. The short-term cash flows in the 10 year valuation models for each of these properties was adjusted for increased vacancy, lower rental rate growth and other market leasing assumptions such as slower lease up of existing vacancy. In addition, as part of its normal course

internal valuations, the Trust made revisions to overall capitalization rates or stabilized NOI. As a result, an overall decrease in the value of investment properties was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 for $185.7 million.

The sensitivity of the fair values of investment properties to stabilized overall capitalization rates as at December 31, 2020 is set out in the table below:

As at December 31, 2020 (millions of dollars) (millions of dollars)
Resulting increase (decrease) in fair
(Decrease)Increase in stabilized overall capitalization rate value of investmentproperties
(1.00%) $ 2,301
(0.75%) $ 1,624
(0.50%) $ 1,023
(0.25%) $ 484
0.25% $ (438)
0.50% $ (837)
0.75% $ (1,200)
1.00% $ (1,534)

Additionally, a 1% increase or decrease in stabilized net operating income ("SNOI") would result in a $92 million increase or a $92 million decrease, respectively, in the fair value of investment properties. SNOI is not a measure defined by IFRS. SNOI reflects stable property operations, assuming a certain level of vacancy, capital and operating expenditures required to maintain a stable occupancy rate. The average vacancy rates used in determining SNOI for non-anchor tenants generally range from 2% to 5%. A 1% increase in SNOI coupled with a 0.25% decrease in the stabilized capitalization rate would result in an increase in the fair value of investment properties of $581 million, and a 1% decrease in SNOI coupled with a 0.25% increase in the stabilized capitalization rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of investment properties of $526 million.

5. HOTEL PROPERTY

On October 1, 2020, First Capital acquired the remaining 40% interest in the Hazelton Hotel ("hotel property") located in Toronto, Ontario. The hotel property is a mixed-use luxury hotel located in Yorkville Village. Subsequent to the acquisition, First Capital owns a 100% interest in the hotel property (December 31, 2019 - 60%). The total purchase price before closing costs was $30.6 million.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". First Capital recognized a gain on the purchase of the hotel property of $7.4 million and incurred transaction costs of $1.1 million, which have been expensed in 'Other gains (losses) and (expenses)' in the consolidated statements of income.

The purchase price was based on a fixed price formula that resulted in a discount to the fair value on acquisition date. The purchase price was satisfied primarily through the settlement of a loan in the amount of $20.0 million advanced from First Capital to the co-owner.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of each major asset acquired and net liability assumed as at the acquisition date.

Land and Building $ 34,604

Amortization (1,432) (693)
Balance at end ofyear $ 88,000 $ 62,199

(1) The revaluation loss of $12.3 million was recognized partly through other comprehensive income (loss) to reverse previously recognized gains on the hotel property of $2.9 million in accordance with the revaluation model accounting for the hotel. The remaining $9.4 million revaluation loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Due to the on-going impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry, the hotel property was revalued on a quarterly basis and a $12.3 million reduction in value was recognized for the year.

During the second and third quarters, the Trust provided rental abatements for 75% of gross rent to qualifying tenants participating in the CECRA program. As a result, the qualifying tenant’s outstanding receivable was reduced and recorded as a charge to bad debt expense. Concurrently, the Trust recognized the benefit of the government’s forgivable loan covering 50% of gross rent as a reduction of bad debt expense. As such, the net charge to bad debt expense included in property operating costs totaled $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, related to the CECRA program.

9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

First Capital manages its capital, taking into account the long-term business objectives of the Trust, to provide stability and reduce risk while generating an acceptable return on investment to Unitholders over the long term. The Trust’s capital structure currently includes Trust Units, Exchangeable Units, senior unsecured debentures, mortgages, credit facilities, bank term loans and bank indebtedness, which together provide First Capital with financing flexibility to meet its capital needs. Primary uses of capital include development activities, acquisitions, capital improvements and leasing costs. The actual level and type of future financings to fund these capital requirements will be determined based on prevailing interest rates, various costs of debt and/or equity capital, property and capital market conditions and Management’s general view of the required leverage in the business.

Components of the Trust’s capital are set out in the table below:

As at December 31, 2020 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2019

  • Debt consists of principal amounts outstanding on credit facilities and mortgages, and the par value of senior unsecured debentures;

  • Net debt is calculated as Debt, as defined above, reduced by cash balances at the end of the period;

  • Secured indebtedness includes mortgages and any draws under the secured facilities that are collateralized against investment property;

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – continued

  • Adjusted EBITDA, is calculated as net income, adding back income tax expense; interest expense; and amortization and excluding the increase or decrease in the fair value of investment properties, hotel property, Exchangeable Units and unit-based compensation; other gains (losses) and (expenses); and other non-cash or non-recurring items. The Trust also adjusts for incremental leasing costs, which is a recognized adjustment to Funds from Operations, in accordance with the recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada;

  • Fixed charges include regular principal and interest payments and capitalized interest in the calculation of interest expense;

  • Unencumbered assets include the value of assets that have not been pledged as security under any credit agreement or mortgage.

(1) The Trust had drawn in U.S. dollars the equivalent of CAD$200.0 million which was revalued at CAD$195.1 million as at December 31, 2020.

(2) Borrowing capacity decreased by $1.0 million to $19.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

First Capital has the ability under its unsecured credit facilities to draw funds based on Canadian bank prime rates and Canadian bankers’ acceptances (“BA rates”) for Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings, and LIBOR rates or U.S. prime rates for U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings. Concurrently with the U.S. dollar draws, the Trust enters into cross currency swaps to exchange its U.S. dollar borrowings into Canadian dollar borrowings.

On April 16, 2019, the Company completed the share repurchase of 36,000,000 common shares from a subsidiary of GazitGlobe Ltd. ("Gazit") at a price of $20.60 per share for gross proceeds to Gazit of $741.6 million. To fund the share repurchase and other operational needs, FCR entered into $850 million of senior unsecured bank term loans with maturities ranging from 4 - 7 years. Concurrent with funding, the majority of the unsecured bank term loans were swapped to fixed rates bearing a weighted average interest rate of 3.3% with a weighted average term to maturity of 5.8 years. The remaining debt bears interest at a floating rate and can be repaid with no prepayment penalty. In the fourth quarter of 2019, First Capital repaid $100 million of floating rate unsecured term loans.

During the first quarter of 2020, First Capital extended the maturity of its $11.9 million secured facility and $20.0 million secured construction facility to April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2020, respectively. During the second quarter of 2020, First Capital repaid its $11.9 million secured facility. During the third quarter of 2020, First Capital increased the borrowing capacity for one of its secured construction facilities to $20.0 million and extended the maturity date to June 1, 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2020, FCR extended the maturity of its $19.7 million secured facility to December 30, 2021.

13. EXCHANGEABLE UNITS

The Exchangeable Units are non-transferable, but are exchangeable, on a one-for-one basis, into First Capital Trust Units at the option of the holder. Any Exchangeable Units outstanding on December 29, 2023 will be automatically exchanged for Trust Units. Prior to such exchange, Exchangeable Units will, in all material respects, be economically equivalent to Trust Units on a per unit basis. Distributions will be made on these Exchangeable Units in an amount equivalent to the distributions that would have been made had the units been exchanged for Trust Units. Holders of Exchangeable Units will receive special voting units that will entitle the holder to one vote at Unitholder meetings (Note 14).

The following table sets forth the particulars of First Capital's Exchangeable Units issued and outstanding:

14. UNITHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Upon conversion of First Capital from a corporation to a real estate investment trust, on December 30, 2019, the former Shareholders of the Company received Trust Units or Exchangeable Units which are accompanied by special voting units.

The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of Trust Units and special voting units:

Trust Units: Each Trust Unit is transferable and represents an equal, undivided beneficial interest in the Trust and any distributions from the Trust and entitles the holder to one vote at a meeting of Unitholders. With certain restrictions, a Unitholder has the right to require First Capital to redeem its Trust Units on demand. Upon receipt of a redemption notice by First Capital, all rights to and under the Trust Units tendered for redemption shall be surrendered and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive a price per unit as determined by a market formula and shall be paid in accordance with the conditions provided for in the Declaration of Trust.

Special Voting Units: Each Exchangeable Unit (Note 13) is accompanied by one special voting unit which provides the holder thereof with a right to vote on matters respecting the Trust.

All unit-based compensation plans are accounted for as cash-settled awards as the Trust is an open-ended trust making its units redeemable, and thus requiring outstanding Unit Options, RUs, PUs, and DUs to be recognized as a liability and carried at fair value. As a result, the entire balance in other equity items related to stock-based compensation plan awards was reclassified to liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet upon REIT conversion on December 30, 2019.

15. UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

REIT Conversion

Upon completion of the REIT conversion on December 30, 2019, all grants outstanding under the common stock option plan and share unit plans were transferred on a one-to-one basis to unit-based compensation plans.

(b) The weighted average market price at which options were exercised for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $21.71 (year ended December 31, 2019 – $21.34).

The assumptions used to measure the fair value of the unit options under the Black-Scholes model (level 2) as at December 31, 2020 were as follows:

Year ended December 31 2020 2019
Expected Trust Unit price volatility 22.93% - 50.12% 12.06% - 14.35%

Expected distribution yield 6.30% 4.16%
Risk free interest rate 0.07% - 0.44% 1.65% - 1.73%

(b) Trust Unit arrangements

First Capital’s Trust Unit plans include a Trustees' Deferred Unit ("DU")(formerly "DSU") plan and a Restricted Unit ("RU")(formerly "RSU") plan that provides for the issuance of Restricted Units and Performance Units ("PU")(formerly "PSU"). Under the DU and RU arrangements, a participant is entitled to receive one Trust Unit, or equivalent cash value for RU arrangements only, at First Capital’s option, (i) in the case of a DU, upon redemption by the holder after the date that the holder ceases to be a Trustee of FCR and any of its subsidiaries (the “Retirement Date”) but no later than December 15 of the first calendar year commencing after the Retirement Date, and (ii) in the case of an RU, on the third anniversary of the grant date. Under the PU arrangement, a participant is entitled to receive 0.5 – 1.5 Trust Units per PU granted, or equivalent cash value at First Capital's option, on the third anniversary of the grant date. Holders of units granted under each plan receive distributions in the form of additional units when First Capital declares distributions on its Trust Units.

(a) The fair value of the DUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $0.8 million (year ended December 31, 2019 – $0.7 million), measured based on First Capital’s prevailing Trust Unit / common share price on the date of grant. The fair value of the RUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $3.5 million (year ended December 31, 2019 – $1.9 million), measured based on First Capital’s Trust Unit / share price on the date of grant.

(b) The fair value of the PUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2.6 million (year ended December 31, 2019 – $3.4 million). The fair value is calculated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model based on the assumptions below as well as a market adjustment factor based on the total Unitholder return of First Capital's Trust Units relative to the S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index.

(c) Increase (decrease) in the value of unit-based compensation

First Capital’s unit-based compensation plans are accounted for as cash-settled awards. Therefore, outstanding Unit Options, Deferred Units, Restricted Units and Performance Units are recognized as a liability and carried at fair value through profit and loss. As at December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the unit-based compensation liability was $12,168 (December 31, 2019 – $19,187)(Note 12). For the year ended December 31, 2020, FCR recognized a decline in the value of the unit-based compensation plans which resulted in a gain of $11.5 million due to a decrease in the Trust's unit price as a result of equity market volatility in light of COVID-19.

22. RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of its business, First Capital is exposed to a number of risks that can affect its operating performance. Certain of these risks, and the actions taken to manage them, are as follows:

(a) Interest rate risk

First Capital structures its financings so as to stagger the maturities of its debt, thereby mitigating its exposure to interest rate and other credit market fluctuations. A portion of FCR’s mortgages, loans and credit facilities are floating rate instruments. From time to time, FCR may enter into interest rate swap contracts, bond forwards or other financial instruments to modify the interest rate profile of its outstanding debt or highly probable future debt issuances without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

Interest represents a significant cost in financing the ownership of real property. As at December 31, 2020, First Capital has a total of $332.6 million of outstanding debt bearing interest at variable rates. If the average variable interest rate was 100 basis points higher or lower than the existing rate, FCR’s annual interest cost would increase or decrease, respectively, by $3.3 million.

First Capital has a total of $1.2 billion principal amount of fixed rate interest-bearing instruments outstanding including mortgages, senior unsecured debentures and secured credit facilities maturing between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2023 at a weighted average coupon interest rate of 4.1%. If these amounts were refinanced at an average interest rate that was 100 basis points higher or lower than the existing rate, FCR’s annual interest cost would increase or decrease, respectively, by $12.1 million.

As at December 31, 2020, First Capital’s loans and mortgages receivable that earn interest at variable rates total $75.1 million. If the average variable interest rate was 100 basis points higher than the existing rate, FCR’s annual interest income would increase by approximately $0.8 million, and if the variable interest rate were 100 basis points lower, FCR’s annual interest income would decrease by approximately $0.1 million.

First Capital’s loans and mortgages receivable that earn interest at fixed rates total $35.8 million. If the loans were refinanced at 100 basis points higher or lower than the existing rate, FCR’s annual interest income would increase or decrease by approximately $0.4 million.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants and/or debtors may experience financial difficulty and be unable or unwilling to fulfill their lease commitments or loan obligations. First Capital mitigates the risk of credit loss from debtors by undertaking a number of activities typical in lending arrangements including obtaining registered mortgages on the real estate properties. First Capital mitigates the risk of credit loss from tenants by investing in well-located properties in urban markets that attract high quality tenants, ensuring that its tenant mix is diversified, and by limiting its exposure to any one tenant. As at December 31, 2020, Loblaw Companies Limited (“Loblaw”) is FCR's largest tenant and accounts for 10.5% of FCR’s annualized minimum rent and has an investment grade credit rating. Other than Loblaw, no other tenant accounts for more than 10% of the annualized minimum rent. A tenant’s success over the term of its lease and its ability to fulfill its lease obligations is subject to many factors. There can be no assurance that a tenant will be able to fulfill all of its existing commitments and leases up to the expiry date.

First Capital’s leases typically have lease terms between 5 and 20 years and may include clauses to enable periodic upward revision of the rental rates, and lease contract extension at the option of the lessee.

Future minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases as at December 31 are as follows:

(thousands of Canadian dollars) 2020
Within 1 year $ 397,377
After 1 year, but not more than 5 years 1,100,187
More than 5years 751,421
$ 2,248,985

101 FIRST CAPITAL REIT ANNUAL REPORT 2020

(c) Liquidity risk

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. This tends to limit First Capital’s ability to sell components of its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. If FCR were required to quickly liquidate its assets, there is a risk that it would realize sale proceeds of less than the current value of its real estate investments.

An analysis of First Capital’s contractual maturities of its material financial liabilities and other contractual commitments as at December 31, 2020 is set out below:

(1) Interest obligations include expected interest payments on mortgages and credit facilities as at December 31, 2020 (assuming balances remain outstanding through to maturity), and senior unsecured debentures, as well as standby credit facility fees.

First Capital manages its liquidity risk by staggering debt maturities; renegotiating expiring credit arrangements proactively; using secured and unsecured credit facilities, mortgages and unsecured debentures; and issuing equity when considered appropriate. As at December 31, 2020, there was $0.7 billion (December 31, 2019 – $0.8 billion) of cash advances drawn against First Capital’s unsecured credit facilities.

In addition, as at December 31, 2020, First Capital had $49.2 million (December 31, 2019 – $33.3 million) of outstanding letters of credit issued by financial institutions primarily to support certain of FCR’s contractual obligations and $0.2 million (December 31, 2019 – $0.1 million) of bank overdrafts.

(d) Unit price risk

First Capital is exposed to Trust Unit price risk as a result of the issuance of Exchangeable Units, which are economically equivalent to and exchangeable for Trust Units, as well as the issuance of unit-based compensation. Exchangeable Units and unit-based compensation liabilities are recorded at their fair value based on market trading prices. Exchangeable Units and unit-based compensation negatively impact operating income when the Trust Unit price rises and positively impact operating income when the Trust Unit price declines. An increase of $1 dollar in the underlying price of First Capital's Trust Units would result in an increase to liabilities, and a decrease to net income as follows:

(i) Exchangeable Units $0.1 million (December 31, 2019 – $1.2 million); and

(ii) Unit-based compensation liabilities $2.3 million (December 31, 2019 – $3.2 million)

Derivatives at fair value 12 50,368 4,686 50,368 4,686

The fair values of First Capital’s FVTPL investments in securities are based on quoted market prices. First Capital has other investments in certain funds and a private entity classified as Level 3, for which the fair values are based on the fair value of the properties held in the funds. The private entity fair value approximates its cost.

The fair value of First Capital’s loans and mortgages receivable classified as Level 3, are calculated based on current market rates plus borrower level risk-adjusted spreads on discounted cash flows, adjusted for allowances for non-payment and collateral related risk. As at December 31, 2020, the risk-adjusted interest rates ranged from 1.2% to 10.4% (December 31, 2019 – 3.5% to 11.4%).

The fair value of First Capital’s mortgages and credit facilities payable are calculated based on current market rates plus risk-adjusted spreads on discounted cash flows. As at December 31, 2020, these rates ranged from 1.5% to 2.3% (December 31, 2019 – 3.2% to 3.4%).

The fair value of the senior unsecured debentures are based on closing bid risk-adjusted spreads and current underlying Government of Canada bond yields on discounted cash flows. For the purpose of this calculation, the Trust uses, among others, interest rate quotations provided by financial institutions. As at December 31, 2020, these rates ranged from 0.8% to 2.6% (December 31, 2019 – 2.3% to 3.6%).

The fair value of the Exchangeable Units are based on the Trust's closing price as of December 31, 2020.

The fair value of the unit-based compensation plans are based on the following:

Unit Option Plan: Fair value of each tranche is valued separately using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Deferred Units/Restricted Units: Fair value is based on the Trust's closing price as of December 31, 2020. Performance Units: Fair value is calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.

First Capital enters into derivative instruments including bond forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency
swaps as part of its strategy for managing certain interest rate risks as well as currency risk in relation to movements in
the Canadian to U.S. exchange rate. For those derivative instruments to which First Capital has applied hedge accounting,
the change in fair value for the effective portion of the derivative is recorded in OCI from the date of designation. For
those derivative instruments to which First Capital does not apply hedge accounting, the change in fair value is
recognized in other gains (losses) and (expenses).
The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using present value forward pricing and swap calculations at
interest rates that reflect current market conditions. The models also take into consideration the credit quality of
counterparties, interest rate curves and forward rate curves. As at December 31, 2020, the interest rates ranged from
1.7% to 2.5% (December 31, 2019 – 1.7% to 3.7%). The fair values of First Capital's asset (liability) hedging instruments
are as follows:

As at December 31, 2020, the $45.7 million increase in the fair value of outstanding derivative liabilities is primarily due to significant fluctuations in market rates (Canadian Bankers' Acceptance rate and Government of Canada bond rate) relative to the market rates locked-in at inception of outstanding interest rate swaps.
