Notes:
| (1) | NOI, FFO, OFFO and AFFO are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. NOI, FFO, OFFO and AFFO are supplemental measures of a company's performance and management believes that NOI, FFO, OFFO and AFFO are relevant measures of its earnings performance and its ability to pay dividends on the Company's common shares. The IFRS measurement most directly comparable to AFFO is cash flow from operations. |
| (2) | For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded MOHLTC reconciliation adjustments that decreased revenue and NOI by $536 and $511, respectively. The adjustments relate to the difference between the Company's annual reconciliation filings with the MOHLTC and their assessments of those filings as it relates to the 2007 and 2008 reconciliation years. These adjustments are based on current period correspondence with the MOHLTC and the Company's best estimate of the probability of recovery of the outstanding amounts. |
| (3) | Payout Ratio is calculated using the basic AFFO per share divided by the dividends declared per share for the respective periods. |
