Net operating income for the three months ended July 31, 2013, decreased by
$50,779 to $845,809 compared to $896,588 in 2012. The decrease was predominantly
the result of both reduced rental revenues and increased property operating and
administrative expenses.

and financial performance of Canadian real estate companies and such terms are
defined in the Management's Discussion and Analysis, such terms are not
recognized terms under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Such
terms do not necessarily have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures presented by the other publicly traded entities.
