Operating Revenues

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, total operating revenues increased by 8.7% and 9.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions, higher rent guideline increases, increased average monthly rents in the residential suite portfolio, and continuing strong occupancies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, ancillary revenues, including parking, laundry and antenna income, rose by 3.1% and 2.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, as Management continued its focus on maximizing the revenue potential of its property portfolio.

CAPREIT's annualized net rental revenue run-rate based on the average monthly rents in place on CAPREIT's share of residential suites and sites as at June 30, 2012 increased to $411.1 million, up 19.9% from $342.8 million as of June 30, 2011 primarily due to acquisitions completed within the past twelve months. Net rental revenue for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 was $356.0 million (2011 - $327.6 million).

(1)	Prior period's comparable AMR and occupancy have been restated for properties disposed of between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.

Average monthly rents decreased slightly by 2.2% as at June 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year due to the acquisition of MHC land lease sites in certain lower rent geographic regions, while occupancy remained at nearly full levels at 98.4% due to ongoing successful sales and marketing strategies and continued strength in the residential rental sector in the majority of CAPREIT's regional markets.

(1)	Percentage of suites turned over or renewed during the period based on the total number of residential suites (excluding co-ownerships) held at the end of the period.

The higher rate of growth in average monthly rents on lease renewals during the periods is primarily due to the higher guideline increases for 2012 (Ontario - 3.1%, British Columbia - 4.3%), which compares more favourably to the permitted guideline increases in 2011 (Ontario - 0.7%, British Columbia - 2.3%) and above guideline increases ("AGI") applied. Management continues to pursue applications for AGIs where it believes increases are supported by market conditions above the annual guideline to raise average monthly rents on lease renewals. In July 2011 Ontario announced that the rent control guideline for the Province in 2013 would be 2.5%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 to 40.9% from 41.1% and 42.8% from 43.5% respectively, for the same periods last year. The improvement is primarily due to: (i) the diversification of the portfolio into regions with lower taxation rates, (ii) lower utility costs, and (iii) successful energy-saving initiatives and enhanced procurement strategies.

Net Operating Income

In the second quarter of 2012, NOI improved by $4.7 million or 9.1%, and the NOI margin increased to 59.1% from 58.9% for the same period last year. For the first six months of 2012, NOI increased by $10.9 million or 11.1%, and the NOI margin improved to 57.2% from 56.5% for the same period last year. The significant improvements in NOI were primarily the result of acquisitions completed in the last 12 month period and higher operating revenues.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, operating revenues for stabilized suites and sites increased 2.2% and 2.0%, respectively, and operating expenses increased 1.4% and decreased 0.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. For the three and six months ended June 30 2012, stabilized NOI increased by a significant 2.7% and 4.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2012				2011				2012				2011
NFFO (000s)		$	31,329				26,848			$	59,131			$	49,400
NFFO Per Unit - Basic		$	0.358			$	0.357			$	0.692			$	0.659
Cash Distributions Per Unit		$	0.270			$	0.270			$	0.540			$	0.540
NFFO Payout Ratio			78.8	%			78.1	%			81.0	%			84.7	%
NFFO Effective Payout Ratio			60.5	%			60.2	%			61.7	%			65.8	%

Normalized Funds From Operations

NFFO is not a financial measure determined by IFRS, and is calculated by excluding from FFO the effects of certain non-recurring items, including changes in fair value of hedging instruments, amortization of losses on certain hedging instruments, and losses incurred on the amendment of natural gas contracts. NFFO, increased by 16.7% and 19.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The increase was primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions, and higher operating revenues, resulting from Management's sales and marketing programs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 5.0% compared to the same period last year despite the approximate 14% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, basic NFFO per Unit increased by 0.3% compared to the same period last year due primarily to the increase in NFFO, despite the approximate 16% increase in the weighted average number of Units outstanding. Management expects FFO and NFFO per Unit, and the related payout ratios, to improve in the medium term as a result of the full NOI contribution from recent acquisitions.

Comparing distributions declared to NFFO, the NFFO payout ratios for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 78.8% compared to 78.1% for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, NFFO payout ratio improved to 81.0% compared to 84.7% for the same period last year. The effective NFFO payout ratio, which compares NFFO to net distributions paid, improved for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, to 60.5% and 61.7%, respectively, from 60.2% and 65.8% for the same periods last year primarily due to higher NFFO during the current year and by higher participation in distributions reinvested. Management believes NFFO will be sufficient to fund CAPREIT's distributions on an annualized basis.

LIQUIDITY AND LEVERAGE

As at June 30,		2012			2011
Total Debt to Gross Book Value		50.83	%		54.32	%
Total Debt to Gross Historical Cost (1)		59.25	%		61.32	%
Total Debt to Total Capitalization		50.38	%		55.33	%
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (times) (2)		1.44			1.34
Interest Coverage Ratio (times) (2)		2.34			2.12
Weighted Average Mortgage Interest Rate (3)		4.20	%		4.66	%
Weighted Average Mortgage Term to Maturity (years)		5.0			5.3

(1)	Based on historical cost of investment properties.
(2)	Based on the trailing four quarters ended June 30, 2012.
(3)	Weighted average mortgage interest rate includes deferred financing costs and fair value adjustments on an effective interest basis. Including the amortization of the realized component of the loss on settlement of $15.8 million included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL"), the effective portfolio weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2012 would be 4.34% (June 30, 2011 - 4.74%).

Financial Strength

Management believes CAPREIT's strong balance sheet and liquidity position will enable it to continue to take advantage of acquisition and property capital investment opportunities over the long term.

CAPREIT is achieving its financing goals as demonstrated by the following key indicators:

• The ratio of total debt to gross book value as at June 30, 2012 improved to 50.83% compared to 54.32% for the same period last year and 50.27% at the end of 2011;
  
  
• Debt service and interest coverage ratios for the four quarters ended June 30, 2012 improved to 1.44 times and 2.34 times compared to 1.34 times and 2.12 times for the same period last year, respectively;
  
  
• At June 30, 2012, 91.8% (June 30, 2011 - 96.2%) of CAPREIT's mortgage portfolio was insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC"), excluding the mortgages on CAPREIT's manufactured home communities land lease sites, resulting in improved spreads on mortgages and overall lower interest costs than conventional mortgages;
  
  
• The effective portfolio weighted average interest rate on mortgages has steadily declined from 4.66% as at June 30, 2011, to 4.20% as at June 30, 2012, which will result in significant interest rate savings in future years;
  
  
• Total financings of $201.7 million, including $135.7 million for renewals of existing mortgages and $66 million for additional top up financing have been closed or committed as of August 8, 2012 with an average term to maturity of 9.4 years, and at a weighted average rate of 2.81%. Management expects to raise between $350 million and $375 million in total mortgage renewals and refinancings in 2012.
  
  

Property Capital Investment Plan

During the first six months of 2012 CAPREIT made property capital investments of $40.4 million as compared to $36.8 million for the same period last year.

Property capital investments include suite improvements, common areas and equipment, which generally tend to increase NOI more quickly. CAPREIT continues to invest in energy-saving initiatives, including boilers, energy-efficient lighting systems, and water-saving programs, which permit CAPREIT to mitigate potentially higher increases in utility and R&M costs and significantly improve overall portfolio NOI.

Monthly Cash Distribution Increase

The Board of Trustees also announced today that cash distributions would increase by 3.7% to $0.093 per Unit ($1.120 on an annualized basis) effective for the August distribution payable on September 17, 2012 to Unitholders on record as at August 31, 2012.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

CAPREIT prepares and releases unaudited quarterly and audited consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. In this and other earnings releases and investor conference calls, as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS, CAPREIT also discloses and discusses certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, NOI, FFO, NFFO and applicable per Unit amounts and payout ratios. These non-IFRS measures are further defined and discussed in the MD&A released on August 8, 2012, which should be read in conjunction with this press release. Since Net Rental Revenue Run-Rate, NOI, FFO and NFFO are not determined by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other issuers. CAPREIT has presented such non-IFRS measures as Management believes these non-IFRS measures are relevant measures of the ability of CAPREIT to earn and distribute cash returns to Unitholders and to evaluate CAPREIT's performance. A reconciliation of Net Income and such non-IFRS measures including Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is included in this press release. These non-IFRS measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of CAPREIT's performance.
