Quebec Headway plans to continue with the renovation of its Quebec City investment properties with anticipation of similar in higher tenant occupancy and NOI. See Joint Operations and Limited Partnerships.
-
Highfield Park Portfolio - In 2017, the Company invested $7,569,980 for a 20% interest in Highfield Park Residential Inc. In turn Highfield Park Residential Inc. purchased the Highfield Park portfolio for $113,000,000 plus customary closing costs, funded by way of a $77,000,000 mortgage and $36,000,000 in equity contributions. During the six month period June 30, 2018, Urbanfund recognized $186,221 of income related to its equity investment. See Other Real Estate Investments .
Dividend Reinvestment Plan Extension
Urbanfund amended the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plans for holders of its common shares and Series A, first preferred shares, increasing the aggregate number of common shares available for issuance to 2,272,663 as at June 30, 2018. See Dividend Reinvestment Plan .
Objectives
The Company’s objectives are to: (i) directly and indirectly acquire, own and operate a portfolio of properties and invest in real estate related projects with a focus on a mix of both residential and commercial properties; (ii) make stable quarterly cash distributions to shareholders; and (iii) enhance operating income and property values through active management.
Outlook
The real estate market in Canada continues to demonstrate moderate growth for the first half of 2018. During its meetings in January and July 2018, the Bank of Canada has increased the overnight lending rates, currently at 1.5%. In a statement accompanying the latest rate increase, The Bank’s assessed the markets as stabilizing and demand is continuing to drive business development. Furthermore, the Bank noted that higher interest rates will be warranted to keep inflation near target. We expect a continued trend of further rate increases over the remainder of the year. Urbanfund is well positioned to withstand an increase in interest rates due to a strong balance sheet with ample cash to cover interest costs, fixed term mortgages payable and staggered debt maturities. See Debt Profile .
Canada continues to have increased immigration levels and the majority of the immigrants are moving towards Toronto and Montreal areas, creating a flow of capital to those regions. Management believes that the result is a rise to the costs of operating businesses and overall cost of living for individuals. The costs of overall operations of the business will increase similar to the trends in increases in rental rates, and overall will remain a fraction of the total business costs. Individuals will continue to feel the tightening with cost inflation and interest rate increases, and purchasing a condominium or a house will continue to be a challenge for many. Management believes there will be a continued demand for rental units with an overall continued downwards trend in vacancy rates and an increase in overall rental rates.
The trade negotiations regarding the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) generally remain at a standstill between Canada and the United States with many significant issues unresolved. This has raised concerns about various sectors in the economy, however, Urbanfund believes that the impact of the negotiations are centralized around the industrial sector, whereas most of Urbanfund rental revenues continue to be derived from residential and non-industrial commercial tenants.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY (CONT’D)
Outlook (Cont’d)

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND NON-IFRS MEASURES
Presentation of Financial Information
Unless otherwise specified herein, financial results, including historical comparatives, contained in this MD&A are based on Urbanfund’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Unless otherwise specified, amounts are in Canadian dollars and percentage changes are calculated using whole numbers.
Non-IFRS Measures
In addition to reported IFRS measures, industry practice is to evaluate real estate entities giving consideration to certain non-IFRS performance measures such as funds from operations, adjusted cash flows from operations and net operating income. Management believes that these measures are helpful to investors because they are widely recognized measures of Urbanfund’s performance and provide a relevant basis of comparison to other real estate entities. In addition to IFRS results, these measures are also used internally to measure the operating performance of our property portfolio. These measures are not in accordance with IFRS and have no standardized definitions, as such, our computations of these non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to measures by other reporting issuers. In addition, Urbanfund’s method of calculating non-IFRS measures may differ from other reporting issuers, and, accordingly, may not be comparable.
The Real Property Association of Canada (“REALpac”) issued a white paper in February 2017 prescribing revised definitions for certain non-IFRS financial measures of cash flow and operating performance commonly used by the Canadian real estate industry. Urbanfund has reviewed these guidelines and adopted certain measures, where appropriate, commencing with our fourth quarter 2017 reporting.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-IFRS financial measure of operating performance widely used by the Canadian real estate industry based on a white paper published in April 2014 and subsequently revised in February 2017. In the view of management, FFO better presents operating performance over IFRS net income and comprehensive income, which does not necessarily provide a complete view on performance. IFRS’s net income and comprehensive income include items such as fair value adjustments on investment properties which are subject to market fluctuations, which is not representative of the Company’s year-over-year operating performance.
FFO is computed as IFRS consolidated net income and comprehensive income attributable to Urbanfund’s shareholders adjusted for items such as, but not limited to, fair value adjustments on investment properties, transaction gains and losses and fair market value adjustments on marketable securities. FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of FFO to IFRS net income is presented under Results from Operations section of this MD&A.
Adjusted Cash Flows from Operations (“ACFO”)
In February 2017, REALpac introduced a new non-IFRS measure called Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations (“ACFO”), which is intended to measure sustainable economic cash flow available for distributions. ACFO is used by management as an input, together with FFO to assess Urbanfund’s distribution payout ratios.
ACFO is computed as cash provided by or used in operating activities per IFRS plus, but not limited to adjustments for working capital items not considered to be indicative of sustainable economic cash flows for distributions, such as changes to other assets, indirect taxes payable and income taxes payable, cash distributions from investments, realized gains or losses from available-for-sale marketable securities and deducts capital expenditures. ACFO should not be construed as an alternative to cash flows provided by or used in operating activities as determined in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of ACFO to IFRS cash flow from or used in operating activities is presented under Results from Operations section of this MD&A.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND NON-IFRS MEASURES (CONT’D)
Non-IFRS Measures (Cont’d)
Normalized Capital Expenditures
Normalized capital expenditures are an estimate made by management of the amount of ongoing capital investment required to maintain the condition of the physical property and the current rental revenues. Management will consider a number of items in estimating normalized capital expenditures given the age and size of the property portfolio, such as a review of historical capital expenditures and comparison of budgeted to actual on a quarterly basis.
Urbanfund does not obtain support from independent sources for normalized capital expenditures but relies on management’s expertise in arriving at this estimate. Both the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer have extensive experience in residential and commercial real estate an in-depth knowledge of the property portfolio.
Actual capital expenditures can vary widely from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors, management believes that normalized capital expenditures is a more relevant input than actual capital expenditures in assessing the Company’s ACFO and for determining an appropriate level of dividends over time. A number of factors affect variations in capital expenditures, including, lease expiries, tenant vacancies, age and location of the properties, and market conditions.
Net Operating Income (“NOI”)
NOI is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by Urbanfund as rental revenue from income properties less direct property costs such as utilities, property taxes adjusted to normalize the impact of the application requirements of IFRIC 21, Levies , repairs and maintenance, salaries, insurance, bad debt expenses, property management fees and other property specific costs. Management believes that NOI is a meaningful supplementary measure of the income generated from the Company’s income properties and is used in evaluating the portfolio, as well as a key input in determining the value of the income properties.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)
Adjusted EBIDTA is a non-IFRS measure used by management as input in several of the debt metrics to measure Urbanfund’s debt profile in assessing the ability of the Company to satisfy obligations, including servicing of our debt. Adjusted EBITDA is used as an alternative to net income because it excludes major non-cash items such as fair value adjustments to investment properties and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, interest costs, current and deferred income tax expenses and recoveries, equity accounted investments and other items that management considers to be non-operating in nature. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income is presented under Debt Profile section of this MD&A.
Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure calculated on a trailing 12-month basis and is defined as quarterly average total debt (net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under Debt Profile section of this MD&A.
Debt Service Ratio
Debt service ratio is a non-IFRS measure calculated on a trailing 12-month basis and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the sum of total interest costs (including interest costs capitalized) and scheduled mortgage principal repayments. It measures Urbanfund’s ability to meet debt obligations. Debt service ratio is calculated under Debt Profile section of this MD&A.
Interest Coverage Ratio
Interest coverage ratio is a non-IFRS measure calculated on a trailing 12-month basis and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the sum of total interest costs (including interest costs capitalized). It measures Urbanfund’s ability to meet interest cost obligations. Interest coverage ratio is calculated under Debt Profile section of this MD&A.

| Three months | ended June 30, | Six months | ended June 30, | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2017 | 2018 | 2017 | |
| Rental revenue | 1,426,298 $ |

| NOI | 818,767 $ |

1,485,960 $ |
1,354,199 $ |
| NOI as apercentage of rental revenue | 57% | 48% | 52% | 48% |
Rental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,426,298 in comparison to $1,406,358, representing an increase of $19,940 primarily due to base rent increases. Rental expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $607,531 in comparison to $729,162 representing a decrease of $121,631 primarily due to capital repairs incurred during the quarter instead of general maintenance expenditures relating to the 305 North Front Street property.
NOI as a percentage of rental revenue for the for the three months June 30, 2018 has increased by 9% due to the IFRS treatment of capital expenditures versus maintenance expenditures. Taking this into consideration, NOI as a percentage of revenue is relatively stable and consistent with comparative period, which is expected due to Urbanfund’s income property portfolio being stabilized.

In the regular course of business, our occupancy of our Quebec properties will fluctuate between the second and third quarter, with expiry and assumption of new one-year residential tenant leases.
We actively monitor our building occupancies to ensure that tenants are replaced at economically or better lease terms and conditions. See Risks and Uncertainties.

PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Properties under development include those properties, or components thereof, that will undergo activities that will take a substantial period of time to prepare the properties for their intended use as income properties. The cost of a development property that is an asset acquisition comprises of cash, or the fair value of other consideration, paid to acquire the properties, including transaction costs, the development costs including property taxes and borrowing costs on specific debt. Properties under development are measured under IFRS at cost, until the point in which fair value can be reliably determinable, usually at the point of project completion.
Properties under development represent a significant pipeline for growth of Urbanfund’s property portfolio. Properties under development are completed either independently or with a partner as defined in Joint Operations and Limited Partnerships . Management expects that the properties under development will continue to be an increasing importance to creating future NOI growth.
Management’s current estimates and assumptions may change through the course of the development due to market conditions and other factors, see Risks and Uncertainties .

URBANFUND CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
INVENTORY PROPERTIES
Inventory properties are properties acquired or under development which the Company intends to dispose all or part thereof in the ordinary course of business, rather than to hold on a long-term basis for capital appreciation or for rental income purposes or both. It is expected that Urbanfund will earn a return on these assets through a combination of NOI during development, which will be included in net income and sales of inventory properties.
Transfers into inventory properties are based on a change in use evidenced by the commencement of development expenditures with the view to sell, at which point an investment property would be transferred to inventory. Transfers from inventory property to investment property are based on a change in use evidenced by management’s commitment to use a property for rental purposes or the commencement of an operating lease to another party.
As at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the movements in inventory property are as follows:

JOINT OPERATIONS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Urbanfund operates some of its real estate investments with its partners through joint operations or limited partnerships. A joint operation is a type of joint arrangement where Urbanfund has joint control of the rights to the assets and the obligations for the liabilities. Limited partnerships are structures where Urbanfund does not own all the equity in a consolidated subsidiary, and therefore the non-controlling equity interest is presented as a separate component of equity in our 2017 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

As at June 30, 2018, the interest coverage and debt service coverage worsened due to an increase in financing costs as a result of the acquisition of 4 Alfred Kuehne and the up-financing of 305 North Front Centre.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (“DRIP”)
On June 17, 2015, the Company adopted a dividend policy (the “Dividend Policy”) and implemented dividend reinvestment plans for the Company’s common and preferred shareholders (collectively, the “DRIP”). The DRIP is a voluntary program permitting holders of our common and preferred shares to automatically, and without charge, reinvest quarterly dividends to acquire additional common shares at a discount to the volume-weighted average market price as of the date of payment.
On June 17, 2017, Urbanfund amended its Dividend Policy to increase the annual dividend to a rate of $0.01 per common share and $0.01 per preferred share, payable quarterly in the amount of $0.0025 per common and preferred share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 355,120 common shares were issued pursuant to our DRIP resulting in additional equity of $213,139 (June 30, 2017 – 245,431 and $104,949). The average participant rate of the DRIP was 78.6%.
The Company previously reserved an aggregate of 2,000,000 common shares for issuance to participants in the DRIP. Given the Company’s determination to afford shareholders the opportunity to participate in the DRIP, the Board of Directors has amended the DRIP policy to increase the number of common shares reserved for issuance pursuant thereto. On June 13, 2018, Urbanfund received TSX-V approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the DRIP may not exceed 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. As at June 30, 2018, the maximum number of additional common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the DRIP (including unissued common shares under the current DRIP) was 2,272,663.
The record date for dividends is the last business day of each quarter and payment is approximately two weeks from the record date. The following table summarizes our quarterly distributions as at June 30, 2018.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in note 3 of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures as of the date of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Our significant judgments include: (i) capitalization of tenant incentives and capital improvements to investment properties; (ii) lessor accounting; (iii) acquisitions of investment properties; (iv) joint arrangements; (v) significant influence investees; and (vi) classification of assets and liabilities as held for sale. Our significant estimates include: (i) capitalization rates and stabilized net operating income used in the fair value of investment properties; and (ii) fair value of marketable securities. Our significant judgments and estimates have been reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee for completeness of disclosure on what management believes would be relevant and useful to investors in interpreting the amounts and disclosures in our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)
The Company adopted IFRS 15 on its effective date of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18, Revenue . The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. The standard requires entities to exercise judgment, taking into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with customers.
The Company’s assessment included a review of the relevant contracts for the following key areas that are in the scope of IFRS 15, common area maintenance recoveries and inventory property sales. The Company has concluded that there are no significant differences in revenue recognition for these revenue streams between the point of transfer of risks and rewards under IAS 18 and the point of transfer of control under IFRS 15. No transitional adjustment has been recorded as at January 1, 2018.
The Company has adopted each of the accounting policies noted below on January 1, 2018:
(i) Rental revenue
Rental revenue is generated through operating leases, which create a legally enforceable right to use the underlying asset by the tenant and require Urbanfund to provide other services. Base rent and realty tax recoveries are accounted for pursuant to IAS 17, Leases and are therefore outside the scope of IFRS 15.
Common area maintenance (“CAM”) recoveries are considered non-lease components and therefore are within the scope of IFRS 15. CAM services are integrated with property management services to the tenants in exchange for CAM recoveries. CAM services are considered to be a single performance obligation delivered to tenants. Urbanfund receives variable consideration for CAM recoveries and recognizes this as revenue over the period those services are provided.
(ii) Inventory property
Contracts with customers for inventory property sales include one distinct performance obligation. Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract and is recognized when control over the inventory property has been transferred, which is when possession passes to the customer and the customer has the ability to use and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the inventory property.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 using the modified retrospective basis with no restatement of comparative periods. IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 also includes requirements relating to a new hedge accounting model, which represents a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting which will allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in the financial statements.
Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified on the basis of both the business model in which the assets are managed and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. Financial assets after initial recognition are classified and measured either as: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) with fair value gains or losses recycled to net income on derecognition; or (iii) fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). Financial liabilities are classified and measured on two categories: (i) amortized cost; or (ii) FVTPL.
Financial assets
The Company’s marketable securities were previously classified as fair value through profit and loss were measured at FVTPL, whereby fair value adjustments on marketable securities were recorded in net income. Under IFRS 9, the classification and measurement of marketable securities do not meet the measurement criteria to be held at amortized cost or FVOCI and are measured at FVTPL with fair value adjustments on marketable securities recorded in net income.
Financial liabilities
The Company’s mortgages payable and mortgages payable associated with assets held for sale are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and remain substantially the same under IFRS 9.
No transitional adjustments have been recorded relating to the Company’s adoption of IFRS 9 as at January 1, 2018.
Investment Properties (“IAS 40”)
In December 2016, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 40 clarifying certain existing requirements. The amendment requires that an asset be transferred to or from investment properties only when there is a change in use. A change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of an investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. In isolation, a change in management’s intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. These amendments were applied prospectively by Urbanfund on the effective date of January 1, 2018. There were no changes in the classification of any of Urbanfund’s investment properties upon the adoption of these amendments.
FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Leases (“IFRS 16”)
IFRS 16 was issued in May 2016. The new standard brings most leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting, however, remains substantially unchanged, and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Urbanfund will not be early adopting IFRS 16. The Company does not expect a material impact on the classification of its tenant leases on the adoption of this standard.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have designed or caused to designed controls to provide reasonable assurance that (i) material information relating to the Company is made known to management by others, particularly during the period in which the annual and interim filings are being prepared; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual and interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frame specified in the securities legislation. Based on the evaluations, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective.

URBANFUND CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (CONT’D)
Urbanfund has established internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that as at June 30, 2018, the internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
Due to the inherent limitation in all control systems, including well-designed and operated systems, no control can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, have been detected or prevented. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to: (i) management’s assumptions and judgments could be incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of any undetected errors; and (iii) controls may be circumvented by the unauthorized acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people or management override.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with entities whose directors are also Urbanfund’s directors and/or part of Urbanfund’s senior management. All such transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at marketbased exchange amounts.
The Company engages Westdale, a related party, to perform management services. Westdale is owned and controlled by Ronald Kimel, who is also Chairman of Urbanfund. Urbanfund contracts Westdale to provide management services equal to 3% on whollyowned residential properties and 4% on wholly-owned commercial properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, property management fees and cost reimbursements were $45,533 and $127,719, respectively (June 30, 2017 - $25,172 and $54,405).
For further details on related party transactions, refer to note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The achievement of Urbanfund’s objectives is, in part, dependent on the successful mitigation of business risks identified. Real estate investments are subject to a degree of risk. They are affected by various factors including changes in general economic and local market conditions, equity and credit markets, fluctuations in financing costs, attractiveness of investment properties to tenants, competition, credit ratings of existing tenants and other factors.
The following are risks that could affect Urbanfund that each reader should carefully consider. Additional risks and uncertainties may not be presently known to management, or that management believes is not material, which could adversely impact the results of our operations.
Market Conditions
Urbanfund faces risks associated with general market conditions and their potential effects. Current general market conditions may include, among other things, insolvency of market participants, tightening of lending standards, decreased availability of cash and changes in unemployment levels, retail sales levels and real estate values. These market conditions may affect occupancy levels and Urbanfund’s ability to obtain credit on favourable terms.
Real Estate Ownership
All real property is subject to a degree of risk and uncertainty. The value of real property and any improvement thereto depend on the credit and financial stability of tenants and vacancy rates of such properties. The value of some of our properties could be adversely affected if tenants fail to comply with their contractual obligations, experience credit or financial instability. If a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations under their leases or of a significant amount of available space in Urbanfund’s property portfolio becomes vacant and cannot be re-leased on economically favourable terms, the properties may not generate sufficient rental revenues to meet operating expenses, including debt service, capital expenditures and dividend payments.
Certain significant expenditures involved with real estate ownership, such as property taxes, insurance costs, maintenance costs and mortgage payments represent liabilities which must be met, regardless of whether the property is generating rental revenue through tenant occupancy. Urbanfund continually seeks to re-lease vacant space resulting from tenant terminations.

URBANFUND CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONT’D)
Illiquidity of Investment Properties
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. As a significant proportion of Urbanfund’s capital is invested in physical assets, which can be difficult to sell, especially if local market conditions are poor. A lack of liquidity could limit Urbanfund’s ability to sell components of the portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. If the Company were required to quickly liquidate its assets, there is a risk that we would realize proceeds less than the current value of our real estate investments.
Additional Costs Related to Acquisitions
There is a risk associated with any real estate acquisition or project, that there may be undisclosed or unknown liabilities and that Urbanfund may not be insured for some or all of these liabilities. These undisclosed or unknown liabilities may be material and have an adverse impact on the Company. Urbanfund ensures an appropriate level of due diligence prior to any real estate acquisition or project.
Additional Costs Related to Real Estate Projects
There is a risk associated with the possibility that completed developments will not be leased or sold, or that the costs to complete the development will exceed the initial estimates, resulting in a lower or less favourable return on investment. Urbanfund’s real estate projects are subject to risks ordinarily attributable to construction projects, including: (i) delays in construction due to lack of municipal approvals; (ii) unfavourable cost variances in comparison to budget; and (iii) the subsequent failure to lease or sell the investment property.
Lease Renewals and Rental Increases
Growth of rental income is dependent on strong rental markets to ensure expiring leases are renewed and new tenants are found in a timely manner to fill vacancies. It is possible that we may face a disproportionate amount of space expiring in any one period. Upon lease expiry, there can be no assurance that the lease will be renewed or the tenant replaced. The terms of any subsequent lease may also be less favourable. Additionally, rental rates could decline, tenant bankruptcies could increase, particularly in the event of a protracted disruption in the economy, such as a recession.
Rent Control Legislation
Rent control legislation and the risk of implementation of legislative rent controls or amendments in the markets Urbanfund operates may have an adverse impact. The Residential Tenancies Act in Ontario, the Residential Tenancies Act in Nova Scotia and the Régie du Logement in Quebec are responsible for providing the criteria for the ability to increase rents annually above a prescribed guideline. In Ontario, the rental increase guideline for 2018 is 1.8%. In Nova Scotia, the allowable rent increase for 2018 is 0.8%. In Quebec, Urbanfund is free to negotiate the rental increase with its tenants as deemed just and reasonable, however, if there is difficulty reaching an agreement, the Régie du Logement provides guidelines on annual indexed rent increases.
Joint Arrangements and Co-ownerships
Urbanfund participates in joint arrangements, partnerships and other similar arrangements (herein after “partners”) that may involve risks and uncertainties not present absent third-party involvement, including, but not limited to: (i) dependency on the partners that are not under our control; (ii) the partners may have economic or business interests inconsistent with the Company; (iii) the partners could experience financial difficulties or seek the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws, which could result in additional financial demands to maintain and operate such properties or repay the partners’ share of obligations; (iv) whereby Urbanfund does not have control, the partners may enter into activities which may expose or subject Urbanfund or its subsidiaries to liability; and (v) the need to obtain the partners consent with respect to major decisions. Accordingly, we may not be able to favourably resolve issues with respect to such decisions, or we may become engaged in a dispute with the partners which may affect our ability to operate the joint arrangement, partnerships or other arrangements in question.
Mortgage Financing Risks
The real estate industry is highly capital intensive. Urbanfund will continue to require access to capital to maintain its properties, fund the development of its properties and invest in other real estate related projects. Given the relatively small size of the Canadian market place in comparison to global markets, there is a limited number of lenders from which Urbanfund can borrow, and there is no assurance that capital will be available when needed.

URBANFUND CORP. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2018
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONT’D)
Mortgage Financing Risks (Cont’d)
Urbanfund has outstanding indebtedness in the form of mortgages payable and is subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that we may not generate sufficient cash flow to meet the scheduled terms of repayment. Additionally, upon expiry of the financing, there is risk that the terms and conditions may be less favourable than the existing financing. Urbanfund’s financial condition and results would be adversely affected if it were unable to obtain financing or cost-effective financing.
Equity Financing Risks
Equity markets for small capitalized public companies are subject to varying degrees of risk. The Company may not always have access to additional capital via equity offerings. As a result, in the absence of obtaining mortgage financing as identified in Mortgage Financing Risks , additional capital may not be available. In management’s opinion, the risk of lack of financing is not significant, as the Company continues to leverage its existing asset base, as well as mortgage financing to take advantage of real estate opportunities, as they arise.
General Uninsured Losses
Urbanfund carries comprehensive general liability insurance for fire, flood and extended coverage for rental loss with policy specific limits and deductibles depending on the property. However, there are certain risks (generally catastrophic, such as war, terrorist acts or environmental contamination) which may be either uninsurable, in whole or in part, or in the opinion of management, not economically insurable. Should an uninsured or underinsured loss occur, Urbanfund could be negatively impacted through loss of the investment, anticipated profits and cash flows from one or more of its investment properties. In addition, the Company would continue to be obligated to repay any balance of mortgages outstanding on such properties.
Environmental Matters
Under various environmental and ecological laws, Urbanfund could become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in its properties or disposed of at other locations. The failure to remove or remediate such substances may adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell such property or to borrow or use the property as collateral and could also result in claims against the Company by third parties. Urbanfund is not currently aware of any material non-compliance, liability or claim with respect to any of its properties that it believes would involve material expenditures to the Company.
Key Personnel
Urbanfund’s executive and other senior officers have a significant role in the success of our operations. Our ability to retain our current management team or ensure suitable replacements could have an adverse effect on the Company and its operations.
We rely on the services of key personnel on our executive including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the loss of their services could have an adverse effect on the Company. We are mitigating this risk through implementation of succession planning.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Urbanfund is subject to various conflicts of interest due to the directors and officers being engaged in other real estate related activities. The Company may become involved in transactions which may conflict with our overall business objectives. The directors, from time to time may enter into arrangements with individuals or companies with which may also be desirable to Urbanfund. The interests of these persons and/or companies could conflict with those of Urbanfund. In addition, the individuals or companies may be competing with Urbanfund for available investment opportunities.
Our directors or officers who are identified to be in conflict with are required to disclose material interests in material contracts and transactions and are refrained from voting on a resolution to approve a material contract or transaction.
Significant Shareholders
As of the date of this MD&A, our directors and officers hold, directly or indirectly, a majority of the outstanding common shares and 100% of the preferred shares. The market price of our common shares could be significantly affected if our directors or officers intend or are perceived to be selling their holdings in Urbanfund.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONT’D)
Dividends
The declaration and payment of future dividends and the quantum of any such dividends will be subject to the approval of Urbanfund’s Board of Directors’, in its discretion, taking into account, among other things, operating performance, financial condition, future growth plans, expected capital requirements, statutory solvency tests, as well as any contractual restrictions on such dividends, including any agreements entered into with lenders to the Company or its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that dividends will be paid at the intended rate or at any rate in the future.
Cyber Security Threats
A cyber incident is an intentional or unintentional event that could threatens the integrity, confidentiality or availability of the Company’s information resources. These events include, but are not limited to, unauthorized access to information systems, a disruption to our information systems, or loss of confidential information. Urbanfund’s primary risks that could result directly from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our public image and reputation, and/or potentially impact the relationships with our tenants.
We have implemented processes, procedures and controls to mitigate these risks, including, but not limited to, firewalls and antivirus programs and training and awareness programs on the risks of cyber incidents. These procedures and controls do not guarantee that the financial results may not be negatively impacted by such an incident.
EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
On July 16, 2018, Urbanfund, through its limited partnership, Weber Investments LP, sold its 48 Weber Street, 61 Roy Street and 65 Roy Street, Kitchener, Ontario for an aggregate purchase price of $7,300,000, less closing costs of $206,225. On the date of closing, Urbanfund extinguished the mortgage payable related to 48 Weber Street and 65 Roy Street of $4,568,918. The general partner of Weber Investments LP, at its discretion, will distribute net proceeds in accordance with the limited partnership agreement.
On July 24, 2018, Urbanfund received a distribution on the sale of real estate related to the investment in real estate project of $300,000.
