ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTLetter to Unitholders

Dear Fellow Unitholder:

Allied’s operating performance in 2022 was strong . Our AFFO per unit was up 4% from the prior year, 

underpinning our 11th consecutive annual distribution increase and providing a take-off point for our 2023 

outlook of low-to-mid-single-digit growth in same asset NOI, FFO per unit and AFFO per unit .   

Our total return to unitholders, on the other hand, was negative, though equivalent to, or better than, 

other leading office issuers in North America . We weathered an extended storm in 2022, one that began as 

pronounced concern about the future of office space and morphed into deep fear of recession . The storm is 

not over, but it will pass, as all storms do . 

RESILIENCE

Allied has proven from inception to be resilient, and we have every reason to be confident that this will 

continue . In the past three years,

•  we deepened, strengthened and integrated the numerous and diverse members of the Allied Team 

across the country, 

•  we continued the renewal and diversification of our Board of Trustees, 

•  we implemented a long-standing succession plan for senior leaders, 

•  we made significant and measurable strides in improving our ESG practices and 

•  we took decisive steps toward reaffirming our mission and maintaining our commitment to the 

balance sheet . 

These elements of resilience signal our strategic and tactical direction going forward and establish a solid 

foundation for our future .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTSALE OF UDC PORTFOLIO

Our UDC portfolio is comprised of freehold interests in 151 Front Street West and 905 King Street West and 

a leasehold interest in 250 Front Street West . The portfolio is unencumbered and does not include 20 York 

Street, the site for Union Centre .

We acquired 151 Front in 2009 and have driven significant earnings and value growth since then, both 

organically and through the addition of 905 King and 250 Front . Since 2013, we have achieved a 9 .6% 

compound annual growth rate in NOI from the portfolio and a 10% compound annual growth rate in the 

IFRS value of the portfolio .

Having propelled the portfolio materially closer to the point of earnings and value optimization, we have 

recently concluded that selling it now is in Allied’s best interest, operationally and financially . Our principal 

motivation is two-fold . First, we want to reaffirm our mission and pursue it over the next few years with low-

cost capital . Second, we want to supercharge our balance sheet and reduce our dependence on the capital 

markets going forward . 

Our UDC portfolio was connected to our mission from the beginning, but it is not core to our mission in 

the way urban workspace is . As a stabilized asset in a currently favoured sector, the portfolio represents 

a promising and timely monetization opportunity, one that could enable us to grow our business going 

forward in the most flexible and prudent manner .

We plan to use a significant portion of the sale proceeds to retire debt and the balance to fund current 

development activity . We may elect to use a portion of the sale proceeds to buy back units under our NCIB . 

We do not expect to use any of the proceeds to fund acquisitions, nor do we expect to engage in material 

acquisition activity in 2023 .

The comprehensive sale process started earlier this month . We will not be able to comment further on the 

process until it is complete, but we will advise you once the outcome is known .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT*   *   *

Allied has been evolving rapidly and successfully for nearly 20 years . In 2023 and beyond, this will continue 

while reaffirming our vision and mission as an operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major 

cities .

If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to call me at (416) 977-0643 or e-mail me at 

memory@alliedreit.com . 

Yours truly,

Michael Emory

PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTBUSINESS OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

Allied is a leading operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major cities and network-dense urban 

data centres in Toronto . Allied’s business is providing knowledge-based organizations with distinctive urban 

environments for creativity and connectivity . 

DISTINCTIVE URBAN WORKSPACE 

Allied was known initially for its leading role in the emergence of Class I workspace in Toronto, a format 

created through the adaptive re-use of light industrial structures in the Downtown East and Downtown West 

submarkets . This format typically features high ceilings, abundant natural light, exposed structural frames, 

interior brick and hardwood floors . When restored and retrofitted to high standards, Class I workspace 

can satisfy the needs of the most demanding office and retail users . When operated in a coordinated 

manner, this workspace becomes a vital part of the urban fabric and contributes meaningfully to a sense 

of community . 

Allied went public in 2003 for the express purpose of consolidating Class I workspace that was centrally 

located, distinctive and cost-effective . The consolidation that ensued was continuous, enabling Allied to 

evolve into a leading owner operator of distinctive urban workspace in Canada’s major cities . 

URBAN DATA CENTRE (“UDC”) SPACE 

In addition to providing urban workspace, Allied provides network-dense UDC space in Downtown Toronto . 

Allied established this capability in 2009 through the acquisition of 151 Front W, the largest internet 

exchange point in Canada and the third largest in North America . Allied has since expanded this capability 

by retrofitting a portion of 905 King W and a portion of 250 Front W . Just as Allied’s workspace does, 

this space provides knowledge-based businesses with distinctive urban environments for creativity and 

connectivity . Allied’s deep expertise in adaptively re-using urban structures has contributed meaningfully to 

its success in operating network-dense data centre space in Downtown Toronto . 

On January 16, 2023, Allied announced the completion of the initial phase of its exploration of the sale 

of its UDC portfolio, which consists of freehold interests in 151 Front W and 905 King W and a leasehold 

interest in 250 Front Street W (the “Portfolio”) . The Portfolio is unencumbered and does not include 20 

York Street, the site for Union Centre . The sale of the Portfolio will enable Allied to reaffirm its mission 

to serve knowledge-based organizations and to propel continued growth with low-cost capital over the 

next few years . The Portfolio was connected to Allied’s mission from the beginning, but it is not core to 

Allied’s mission in the way urban workspace is . If successful in selling the Portfolio, Allied expects to use 

a significant portion of the sale proceeds to retire debt and the balance to fund its current development 

activity . 

As a result of the recent implementation of a comprehensive sales process, the UDC segment is classified as 

a discontinued operation and asset held for sale for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 . 

It is classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2022, and the 

comparative period is not revised . It is classified as a discontinued operation on the consolidated statements 

of income and comprehensive income for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022, and 

December 31, 2021 .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTWORKSPACE INNOVATION 

Allied’s experience informed its approach to workspace innovation . Office users today value light, air and an 

open-plan . Abundant natural light and fresh air contribute enormously to human wellness and productivity . 

An open-plan improves collaboration and creativity . When people can move around and freely connect with 

one another, communication is improved, along with mutual understanding, and sparks of ingenuity occur . 

Technology has contributed to workspace innovation . Light harvesting has made great strides, as has 

fresh air delivery . Raised-floor systems have made aesthetic and practical contributions in recent years . 

Aesthetically, they declutter the workspace and obviate the need for drop-ceilings . Practically, they improve 

air circulation by pressurizing the underfloor area and de-pressurizing the actual work environment . All this 

can be delivered to workspace users in an environmentally sustainable manner . 

Workspace amenities have made an equivalent contribution to workspace innovation . While achievable 

to an extent within a single building, amenity-richness is best achieved within a surrounding urban 

neighbourhood . This in turn places a premium on clustering buildings within an amenity-rich urban 

neighbourhood . Clustering also allows Allied to accommodate needs for expansion and contraction within 

the neighbourhood . 

Allied’s experience with Class I workspace also increased its sensitivity to design . When people migrated to 

the suburbs in the 1950s, the sensitivity to design in the inner-cities seemed to diminish, if not disappear 

altogether . Heritage properties were destroyed to make way for non-descript, inward-looking buildings, and 

synthetic materials seemed to cover everything everywhere . Fortunately, design now matters, and design 

now pays . The workspace Allied created at QRC West in Toronto is an excellent example . Allied’s architects 

came up with a creative and beautiful way to build a new office tower above two fully-restored heritage 

buildings . Although the design entailed additional cost, the ultimate economic and social return on the 

investment was exceptional . The design paid off in every conceivable way . 

Finally, Allied’s experience with Class I workspace put it at the forefront of creating workspace for the 

knowledge-based economy . This led Allied to place ever-greater emphasis on the ongoing relationship 

between the user and provider of workspace . Put differently, it led Allied to understand the need for a 

partnership-like relationship between itself and workspace users .

FOCUS AND DEFINITION 

From the outset, Allied adhered to a clear investment and operating focus . It focused initially on the Class I 

format and continues to do so on a large scale in major urban centres in Canada . More recently, Allied 

expanded its focus to include hybrid structures like QRC West and King Portland Centre in Toronto and 

425 Viger in Montréal, where heritage buildings were integrated with new structures in a way that resonated 

meaningfully with the knowledge-based organizations Allied serves . Allied will continue to do so on a large 

scale in major urban centres in Canada . 

As Allied’s business grew and evolved, it was defined not by the specific workspace format Allied owns, 

operates and develops, but rather by the workspace users Allied serves . If a particular format enables 

Allied to serve knowledge-based organizations better and more profitably, Allied will invest in it . The Well 

in Toronto is a good example . The workspace component is a high-rise tower for the most part with no 

16

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTheritage element at all . However, because of its architecture, performance attributes and location within a 

vibrant and amenity-rich neighbourhood, it has attracted outstanding knowledge-based organizations .  

When Allied’s business is defined by the workspace users it serves, the actual format becomes less 

important and the specific building attributes and neighbourhood amenities take on paramount importance . 

Accordingly, if a conventional office tower can be transformed to provide the specific attributes and 

amenities favoured by knowledge-based organizations, it falls squarely within Allied’s investment and 

operating focus . This expands Allied’s opportunity-set materially . 

VISION AND MISSION 

Allied’s vision statement is as follows: To make a continuous contribution to cities and culture that elevates 

and inspires the humanity in all people . In isolation, this could be seen as somewhat extravagant and 

nebulous, but it is fully grounded and informed by Allied’s mission statement, which is as follows: To provide 

knowledge-based organizations with distinctive urban workspace in a manner that is sustainable and conducive 

to human wellness, creativity, connectivity and diversity . Like all such statements, Allied’s vision and mission 

statements need elaboration . 

From inception, Allied’s approach to workspace was both humanistic and technical . Allied sees workspace 

from the vantage point of people who use it rather than people who invest in it . Allied sees workspace 

as optimal light and air, a flexible and open floorplan and a collaborative rather than feudal relationship 

between owner and user . Allied sees workspace as a product of aesthetic and technical design . Finally, 

Allied sees workspace as part of a large, amenity-rich, urban ecosystem rather than as an instance of the 

monumental isolation that characterizes so many conventional office towers . 

Real estate is no longer a passive investment or a static tolling business . It is a profoundly human business 

that needs to keep pace with demographic and technological change, as well as the ongoing change in 

human attitudes and values . It needs to be run with future generations in mind . This means we have to run 

commercial real estate to save the global environment, not destroy it . It means we have to foster human 

wellness, not undermine it . It means we have to promote diversity, not impose uniformity . It means we 

have to facilitate creativity, not encourage conformity . Finally, it means we have to build and operate as 

city builders . 

City builders see commercial real estate as an integral part of a much larger ecosystem of infrastructure, 

buildings and people . The ecosystem, of course, is the city . We can only build cities well if they endure, 

if they stand the test of time . This means cities have to be sustainable and conducive to human wellness, 

creativity, connectivity and diversity . Put differently, it means they have to elevate and inspire the humanity 

in all of us . 

City building requires commitment, innovation and imagination, something Allied strives for on an ongoing 

basis . In an era of remarkable and continuous urban intensification, city building is essential to sustained 

profitability in real estate . Sporadic profitability is achievable without reference to the principles of city 

building . Merchant development of commoditized structures in a boom market illustrates this perfectly . 

Sustained profitability, on the other hand, requires adherence to the principles of city building . It follows 

that Allied’s vision and mission statements are the aspirational context within which Allied pursues 

sustained profitability for the benefit of its Unitholders . 

17

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (“ESG”)

Environmental, social and governance sensitivities are an integral part of Allied . They flow from its evolution 

as an organization focused on the provision of distinctive urban workspace and network-dense UDC space in 

Canada’s major cities .

Long before going public, Allied focused on the adaptive re-use of older structures built over a century 

ago for light-industrial purposes . The goal at the time was not to minimize the impact on the environment . 

Rather, it was to meet what was rightly perceived to be a growing need on the part of users of workspace 

for environments that would assist them in attracting, motivating and retaining knowledge workers . 

Nevertheless, by re-cycling buildings rather than re-building them, Allied minimized the impact on the 

environment . This evolved into greater sensitivity as to the environmental impact of its activity . 

Again, long before its initial public offering (IPO), Allied concentrated its properties in specific urban 

areas . The goal at the time was not to make a social contribution . Rather, it was to meet what was rightly 

perceived to be the need on the part of users of workspace to grow in amenity-rich, mixed-use urban 

communities . Nevertheless, by aggregating buildings in this way, Allied became sensitized to the impact on 

the surrounding communities in which it operates . Allied began to see its buildings as part of a larger urban 

ecosystem and to acknowledge its responsibility to the surrounding community as a whole . 

Finally, the launch of Allied’s IPO in 2003 increased its sensitivity to governance . The sensitivities at the time 

were predominantly financial and operational, but as Allied evolved and attracted Unitholders globally, the 

sensitivity to a broader conception of governance increased . Allied’s Board and Management began to see 

governance as something that could strengthen the business significantly .

ESG OVERSIGHT & REPORTING

Allied’s Board and Management are committed to making its inherent approach to ESG more manifest, 

deliberate and measurable . They have always believed that submitting to informed scrutiny will make Allied 

a better business, and formally submitting to ESG scrutiny is no exception in this regard . The Trustees are 

responsible for the oversight of the ESG Strategy and ESG initiatives developed by Management . The Board’s 

Governance, Compensation and Nomination Committee oversees and monitors Allied’s ESG performance 

and reviews Allied’s ESG Report, ESG Policy and other governance policies and practices annually . Allied 

established an Executive ESG Committee to assist Management and the Board in defining, designing, 

implementing, expanding and evaluating Allied’s ESG Strategy and ESG initiatives . The Committee reports 

and makes recommendations to Management and the Board at least once annually .

On the recommendation of the Governance, Compensation and Nomination Committee, in 2021, the 

Board established four ESG Accountability Corporate Targets, the achievement of which the Governance, 

Compensation and Nomination Committee and the Board analyzed as part of its assessment of incentive 

bonus awards for the executive officers .

In June 2022, Allied published its third Annual ESG Report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative 

(GRI) 2021 Universal Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Real Estate Standard 

and for the first time, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and the Task Force on 

Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations .

FFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate 
investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by 
REALPAC in its January 2022 White Paper (“White Paper”). FFO is defined 
as net income and comprehensive income from continuing operations 
less certain adjustments, on a proportionate basis, including fair value 
changes in investment properties, investment properties held for sale and 
derivative instruments, impairment, incremental leasing costs, net income 
and comprehensive income from discontinued operations, amortization of 
improvement allowances and amortization of property, plant and equipment 
which relates to owner-occupied property. FFO is reconciled to net income 
and comprehensive income from continuing operations, which is the most 
directly comparable IFRS measure. Management believes FFO is a key 
measure of operating performance. 

FFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and 
the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation starts with 
FFO and removes the effects of condominium revenue, condominium cost 
of sales, condominium marketing costs, financing prepayment costs and 
the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation. FFO excluding 
condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-
market adjustment on unit-based compensation is reconciled to net income 
and comprehensive income from continuing operations, which is the most 
directly comparable IFRS measure. Management believes this is a useful 
measure as these condominium and financing prepayment items are not 
indicative of recurring operating performance, and the mark-to-market 
adjustments of unit-based compensation can fluctuate widely with the 
market.

AFFO is a non-IFRS financial measure used by most Canadian real estate 
investment trusts based on a standardized definition established by 
REALPAC in the White Paper. AFFO is defined as FFO less amortization of 
straight-line rents, regular leasing expenditures, regular and recoverable 
maintenance capital expenditures, and incremental leasing costs (related 
to regular leasing expenditures). AFFO is reconciled to net income and 
comprehensive income from continuing operations, which is the most 
directly comparable IFRS measure. Management considers AFFO to 
be a useful measure of recurring economic earnings and relevant in 
understanding Allied’s ability to service its debt, fund capital expenditures 
and provide distributions to Unitholders.

AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs 
and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation starts 
with AFFO and removes the effects of condominium revenue, condominium 
cost of sales, condominium marketing costs, financing prepayment costs 
and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation. AFFO 
excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the 
mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation is reconciled to

is a useful measure as these condominium and financing prepayment items 
are not indicative of recurring economic earnings, and the mark-to-market 
adjustments of unit-based compensation can fluctuate widely with the 
market. 

Net income from continuing operations excluding fair value adjustments, 
financing prepayment costs and impairment is a non-IFRS financial 
measure that starts with net income from continuing operations and 
removes the effects of fair value gains or losses on investment properties 
and investment properties held for sale, or derivative instruments, the 
mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, financing 
prepayment costs and impairment on an IFRS basis. Management 
considers this to be a useful measure of operating performance, as fair 
value adjustments can fluctuate widely with the market, and financing 
prepayment costs and impairment are non-recurring in nature.

NRI is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as rental revenue from 
continuing operations less property operating costs from continuing 
operations on a proportionate basis. It excludes condominium revenue and 
condominium cost of sales. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is 
operating income. Management considers NRI to be a useful measure of the

Income. Management believes this is a useful measure as it demonstrates 
the cash generating operating performance of its income producing 
properties.  

NOI from discontinued operations is a non-IFRS financial measure defined 
as rental revenue from discontinued operations less property operating 
costs from discontinued operations on a proportionate basis, excluding the 
impact of non-cash items such as amortization of improvement allowances 
and the amortization of straight-line rents from discontinued operations 
on a proportionate basis. The most directly comparable IFRS measure

comparable IFRS measure to same asset NOI is Operating Income. 
Management believes this is a useful measure as NOI growth can be 
assessed on its portfolio excluding the impact of acquisition and disposition 
activities. Allied uses same asset NOI to evaluate the performance of its 
properties.

Normalized Last Quarter 
Annualized (“LQA”) NOI

Normalized LQA NOI is a non-IFRS measure defined as the normalized NOI 
from continuing operations for an individual property or portfolio for the 
most recently completed quarter multiplied by four on a proportionate 
basis. In the calculation of this metric, non-recurring items are excluded 
from LQA NOI. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to normalized 
LQA NOI is Operating Income. Management considers normalized LQA NOI 
relevant in analyzing the operations of its rental properties on a property-
by-property or portfolio basis. 

N/A

Gross Book Value (“GBV”)

GBV is a non-IFRS measure defined as the total assets of Allied on a

total assets. Management believes GBV is a useful measure to assess the 
growth in Allied’s total portfolio of rental and development properties. 

Section V -

Unencumbered investment 
properties

Unencumbered investment properties is a non-IFRS measure defined as the 
value of investment properties, excluding investment properties held for 
sale, which are free and clear of any encumbrances. This is calculated on a 
proportionate share basis. Management believes unencumbered investment 
properties is a useful measure to assess the borrowing capacity of Allied. 

N/A

Cost of Properties Under 
Development (“PUD”) as  
a percentage of GBV

Cost of PUD as a percentage of GBV is a non-IFRS measure defined as the 
book value of Allied’s properties under development, on a proportionate 
basis, divided by the GBV at period-end. Management believes this is a 
useful metric in assessing development risk. Allied has a limit of 15% as

measure to net debt is debt. Management considers net debt a useful 
measure for evaluating debt levels and interest coverage.

Total Indebtedness Ratio

Net debt as a multiple of Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS 
measure of Allied’s financial leverage and is defined as net debt divided by 
Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. This measure indicates the number of years 
required for Allied’s Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to repay all outstanding 
debts, taking into consideration the cash on hand to decrease debt. 
Management considers this metric a useful measure for evaluating Allied’s 
ability to service its debt. 

FFO and AFFO payout-ratios and FFO and AFFO payout-ratios excluding 
condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-
market adjustment on unit-based compensation are non-IFRS measures. 
These payout ratios are calculated by dividing the actual distributions 
declared by FFO, AFFO and FFO and AFFO excluding condominium related 
items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on 
unit-based compensation in a given period. Management considers these 
metrics a useful way to evaluate Allied’s distribution paying capacity. 

Interest coverage ratio and interest coverage ratio including interest 
capitalized and excluding financing prepayment costs are non-IFRS 
measures calculated on a trailing three-month basis and twelve-month 
basis for the three months ended and the year ended, respectively. These 
ratios are defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by interest expense with 
interest capitalized included and financing prepayment costs excluded. 
Management considers these metrics useful as they indicate Allied’s ability 
to meet its interest cost obligations on a trailing twelve-month basis.

Total indebtedness ratio is a non-IFRS measure of Allied’s financial 
leverage, which is calculated on a proportionate basis by taking debt plus 
outstanding letters of credit divided by total assets. Management considers 
this metric useful as it indicates Allied’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information included in this MD&A contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of 

applicable securities laws, including, among other things, statements concerning Allied’s objectives and 

strategies to achieve those objectives, statements with respect to Management’s beliefs, plans, estimates 

and intentions and statements concerning anticipated future events, circumstances, expectations, results, 

operations or performance that are not historical facts . Forward-looking statements can be identified 

generally by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “indicators”, “outlook”, “forecast”, “objective”, 

“may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “should”, “plans”, “continue” or 

similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events . In particular, certain statements in the Letter 

to Unitholders, Section I—Overview, under the headings “Business Overview and Strategy”, “Focus and 

Definition”, “Vision and Mission”, “Environmental, Social and Governance” and “Business Environment 

and Outlook”, Section III - Leasing under the headings “Status” and “Lease Maturity”, Section V - Asset 

Profile, under the headings “Rental Properties”, and “Development Properties”, Section VI - Liquidity and 

Capital Resources and Section IX - Risks and Uncertainties, constitute forward-looking information . This 

MD&A includes, but is not limited to, forward-looking statements regarding: increases to Allied’s annual 

NOI due to development activities; expected annualized adjusted EBITDA on the properties acquired 

from Choice Properties; the proposed sale of the Portfolio and the expected use of proceeds if such sale is 

completed; expected capital expenditure and allocation over 2022; completion of construction and lease-up 

in connection with Properties Under Development (“PUDs”); growth of our same asset NOI, FFO per unit 

excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on 

unit-based compensation and AFFO per unit excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment 

costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation; continued demand for space in our 

target markets; the expected effect of the global pandemic and consequent economic disruption; Allied’s 

internal forecast; the creation of future value; estimated gross leasable area (“GLA”), NOI and growth from 

PUDs; estimated costs of PUDs; future economic occupancy; return on investments, including yield on 

cost of PUDs; estimated rental NOI and anticipated rental rates; lease up of our intensification projects; 

anticipated available square feet of leasable area; targets for LEED certification; the development of a 

Net Zero Carbon (NZC) Plan and the identification of a clear pathway for Allied to reach net zero; our 

ability to generate ancillary revenue; our ability to achieve risk-adjusted returns on intensification; our 

expectations regarding the timing of development of potential incremental density; receipt of municipal 

approval for value-creation projects, including intensifications; Management’s expectations regarding 

future distributions; and completion of future financings and availability of capital . Such forward-

looking statements reflect Management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available 

to Management .

The forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future results, operations or 

performance and are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, 

including those described in Section IX - Risks and Uncertainties, which could cause actual results, 

operations or performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this MD&A . 

25

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTThose risks and uncertainties include risks associated with property ownership, property development, 

geographic focus, asset-class focus, competition for real property investments, financing and interest 

rates, Unit price changes, government regulations, environmental matters, construction liability, taxation, 

cybersecurity, and COVID-19 . Material assumptions that were made in formulating the forward-looking 

statements in this MD&A include the following: that our current target markets remain stable, with no 

material increase in supply of directly-competitive office space; that acquisition capitalization rates remain 

reasonably constant; that the trend toward intensification within our target markets continues; and that the 

equity and debt markets continue to provide us with access to capital at a reasonable cost to fund our future 

growth and potentially refinance our mortgage debt as it matures . Although the forward-looking statements 

contained in this MD&A are based on what Management believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be 

no assurance that actual results, operations or performance will be consistent with these statements .

All forward-looking statements in this MD&A are qualified in their entirety by this forward-looking 

disclaimer . Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the discussion in the Letter to Unitholders, 

Section I - Overview, Section V - Asset Profile and Section VI - Liquidity and Capital Resources are qualified 

in their entirety by this forward-looking disclaimer . These statements are made as of January 31, 2023, and, 

except as required by applicable law, Allied undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any such 

statements to reflect new information or the occurrence of future events or circumstances .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTThe increase in NOI from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, was due to 

acquisitions, increased variable parking revenue and rent commencement at The Well, partially offset by 

known non-renewals at Cité Multimédia in Montréal and 185 Spadina in Toronto and de-leasing to facilitate 

upgrade activities at 1001 Boulevard Robert-Bourassa in Montréal . The increase in NOI from discontinued 

operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, was due to rent and occupancy growth in the UDC 

portfolio .

(1)  Excludes interest on a lease liability held for sale of $6,532 (December 31, 2021 - $5,949).

For the year ended December 31, 2022, interest expense on an IFRS basis decreased by $41,394 or 36 .2% 

primarily due to a financing prepayment cost in the comparative period, a lower balance of mortgages 

payable and higher capitalized interest, partially offset by a higher balance of Unsecured Term Loans,  

higher Unsecured Debentures’ interest expense, and higher draws on the Unsecured Facility .

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, capitalized interest increased over the 

comparable period with the continuation of development and upgrade activities across the portfolio .

In accordance with IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs, interest may be capitalized on properties in connection 

with activity required to get the assets ready for their intended use (refer to note 2 (g) in Allied’s audited 

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, for further details) . This 

would include upgrade work as well as work completed in relation to a future development, such as 

obtaining zoning approval, completing site approval plans, and engineering and architectural drawings . 

On completion of upgrade and development activity, the ability to capitalize interest expense ends, 

partially offsetting the positive impact of lease commencement .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTOTHER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”) AND FFO EXCLUDING CONDOMINIUM RELATED ITEMS, FINANCING 

PREPAYMENT COSTS AND THE MARK-TO-MARKET ADJUSTMENT ON UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION

Allied’s calculation of FFO, a non-IFRS measure, is in compliance with REALPAC’s standardized definition in 

the White Paper . FFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-

market adjustment on unit-based compensation, a non-IFRS measure, starts with the standardized definition 

of FFO and removes the effects of condominium revenue, condominium cost of sales, condominium 

marketing costs, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based 

compensation . Refer to Non-IFRS Measures on page 21 .

Allied initiated condominium pre-sales at KING Toronto, a 50/50 joint venture with Westbank, in the fourth 

quarter of 2018 . For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Allied incurred (at its share) 

$189 and $602, respectively, of condominium marketing costs in connection with the pre-sales activity . 

(Marketing costs associated with merchant development are expensed when incurred .) Allied and Westbank 

have initiated construction of KING Toronto .

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, FFO per unit excluding condominium related items, 

financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totaled 

$0 .618 . This is an increase of $0 .018 or 3 .0% over the comparable period in the prior year . The increase was 

primarily due to an increase in total NOI, partially offset by higher interest expense .

For the year ended December 31, 2022, FFO per unit excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totaled $2 .435 . This is an 

increase of $0 .030 or 1 .2% over the comparable period in the prior year . The increase was primarily due to 

an increase in total NOI, partially offset by an increase in interest expense .

To ensure sufficient cash is retained to meet capital improvement and leasing objectives, Allied strives to 

maintain an appropriate FFO pay-out ratio excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment 

costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation . Refer to Non-IFRS Measures 

on page 21 . For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, the FFO pay-out ratio excluding 

condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based 

compensation was 70 .8% and 71 .8%, respectively .

ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“AFFO”) EXCLUDING CONDOMINIUM RELATED ITEMS, 

FINANCING PREPAYMENT COSTS AND THE MARK-TO-MARKET ADJUSTMENT ON UNIT-BASED 

COMPENSATION

Allied’s calculation of AFFO, a non-IFRS measure, is in compliance with REALPAC’s standardized definition 

in the White Paper . AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the 

mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, a non-IFRS measure, starts with the standardized 

definition of AFFO and removes the effects of condominium revenue, condominium cost of sales, 

condominium marketing costs, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-

based compensation . Refer to Non-IFRS Measures on page 21 .

40

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTFor the three months ended December 31, 2022, AFFO per unit excluding condominium related items, 

financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totaled $0 .548 . 

This represents an increase of $0 .030 or 5 .8% over the comparable period in the prior year . The increase 

was primarily due to the changes in FFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs 

and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation discussed above and lower regular and 

recoverable maintenance capital expenditures, partially offset by higher amortization of straight-line rents .

For the year ended December 31, 2022, AFFO per unit excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation totaled $2 .174 . This 

represents an increase of $0 .083 or 4 .0% over the comparable period in the prior year . The increase was 

primarily due to the changes in FFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs 

and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation discussed above and lower regular leasing 

expenditures and lower regular and recoverable maintenance capital expenditures, partially offset by higher 

amortization of straight-line rents .

To ensure sufficient cash is retained to meet capital improvement and leasing objectives, Allied strives 

to maintain an appropriate AFFO pay-out ratio excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, which is the ratio 

of actual distributions to AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and 

the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation in a given period . For the three months and 

year ended December 31, 2022, the AFFO pay-out ratio excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation was 79 .9% and 80 .4%, 

respectively . 

RECONCILIATION OF FFO AND AFFO

The following table reconciles Allied’s net income and comprehensive income from continuing operations 

to FFO, FFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market 

adjustment on unit-based compensation and AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing 

prepayment costs and the mark-to-market adjustment on unit-based compensation, which are on a non-IFRS 

basis, for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 . Refer to Non-IFRS

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTCAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Our portfolio requires ongoing maintenance capital expenditures and leasing expenditures .

Regular maintenance capital expenditures are costs incurred to maintain and sustain the existing property 

infrastructure, including structural repairs . Recoverable maintenance capital expenditures are typically 

not structural in nature, but allow the building to operate more efficiently, such as investing in building 

automation systems and HVAC systems . These improvements provide a direct benefit to users and can 

be recovered over the useful life of the asset according to the lease . Both regular maintenance capital 

expenditures and recoverable maintenance capital expenditures are deducted in the calculation of AFFO .

Regular leasing expenditures are leasing costs incurred to maintain the existing revenues of a property 

and are deducted in the calculation of AFFO . These costs are considered operational, and typically include 

improvement allowances, landlord’s work and leasing commissions required to replace or renew users at 

existing rates or market rates .

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Allied incurred (i) $2,855 in regular leasing expenditures or 

$10 .44 per square foot, (ii) $354 in regular maintenance capital expenditures and (iii) $1,995 of recoverable 

maintenance capital expenditures .

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied incurred (i) $13,956 in regular leasing expenditures or $11 .98 

per square foot, (ii) $1,979 in regular maintenance capital expenditures and (iii) $5,947 of recoverable 

maintenance capital expenditures .

Revenue-enhancing capital is invested to improve the revenue generating ability of the properties . This 

includes investments to change the use of space, increase gross leasable area, or materially improve the 

aesthetics or efficiency of a property . Development costs are investments to generate new revenue streams 

and/or to increase the productivity of a property . These consist of pre-development costs, carrying costs, 

direct construction costs, leasing costs, improvement allowances, borrowing costs, and direct costs of 

internal staff directly attributable to the projects under development . 

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Allied invested $93,398 and $391,210, respectively, 

of revenue enhancing capital into its portfolio to enhance its income-producing capability and in ongoing 

development activity .

In most instances, occupancy commences with a fixturing period prior to rent commencement . During 

the fixturing period, straight-line rent revenue is recognized, and no recoverable costs are paid by the user . 

Thereafter, recoverable costs are paid by the user and recognized as rental revenue . In cases where interest 

and realty taxes were being capitalized prior to occupancy (in accordance with IFRS), capitalization ends on 

occupancy . During occupancy, rental revenue is recognized and interest and realty taxes are expensed .

In some instances, particularly in ground-up developments, there may be fixturing periods outside of the 

term of the lease while base building work is being completed . In this case, capitalization is taking place so 

revenue is not recognized .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTLEASE MATURITY 

As at December 31, 2022, 90 .8% of the GLA in Allied’s rental portfolio (which excludes assets held for sale 

including UDC) was leased and its weighted average term to maturity was 5 .5 years . The estimated weighted 

average market net rental rate is based on Management’s estimates of today’s market rental rates and is 

supported by independent appraisals of certain properties . There can be no assurance that Management’s 

current estimates are accurate or that they will not change with the passage of time .

The following contains information on the urban workspace leases that mature through 2027 and the 

corresponding estimated weighted average market rental rate as at December 31, 2022 . Where the renewal 

rate on maturity is contractually predetermined, it is reflected below as the market rental rate .

(2)  Excludes the results of the Urban Data Centres segment which was classified as a discontinued operation in Q4 2022. The prior period 

comparative figures have been revised accordingly.

(3)  Starting Q1 2022, this includes the weighted average number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units.
(4)  Starting Q2 2022, this includes distributions on Units and Exchangeable LP Units.
(5)  This is a non-IFRS measure, refer to page 21. These non-IFRS measures include the results of the continuing operations and the discontinued 

operations.

(6)  In the fourth quarter of 2022, Allied incurred $(564) of financing prepayment costs in connection with the favourable refinancing of a 

mortgage. In addition, in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2021, Allied incurred $14,161, $37,728 and $721, respectively, of financing 
prepayment costs in connection with the favourable refinancing of unsecured debentures and first mortgages. 

(7)  Net asset value per unit (“NAV per unit”) is calculated as follows: total equity as at the corresponding period ended, (per the 

consolidated balance sheets) divided by the actual number of Units and Exchangeable LP Units outstanding at period end.

(8)  Net debt as a multiple of annualized adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2022 including the expected annualized EBITDA from the six properties acquired 

from Choice Properties on March 31, 2022, is 9.4x.

expenditures of $426 and $962, respectively; amortization of straight-line rent and improvement allowances of $(139) and $(8), respectively; 
and a fair value gain (loss) on investment properties of $693 and $(6,101), respectively.

As at December 31, 2022, Allied had five properties classified as investment properties held for sale totaling 

$1,354,830, four located in Toronto and one located in Montréal . There were three investment properties 

held for sale as at December 31, 2021, totaling $86,260, two located in Toronto and one located in Montréal . 

The increase of $1,268,570 in the year ended December 31, 2022, is due to the addition of five investment 

properties and the disposition of three investment properties held for sale .

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Allied recognized a fair value loss on investment properties 

and investment properties held for sale of $35,862 on a proportionate basis . This was primarily due to 

macroeconomic conditions .

62

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTFor the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied recognized a fair value gain on investment properties and 

investment properties held for sale of $63,081 on a proportionate basis . This was primarily due to an 

increase in value from compressing capitalization rates in the UDC portfolio and from additional density 

value recognized, moderated by macroeconomic conditions . 

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, Allied capitalized $15,676 of borrowing costs to its capital 

expenditures on a proportionate basis, $12,235 of which related to development activity and $1,592 to 

upgrade activity in the rental portfolio . Allied capitalized $1,849 of borrowing costs to qualifying residential 

inventory . 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied capitalized $53,810 of borrowing costs to its capital 

expenditures on a proportionate basis, $43,066 of which related to development activity and $4,540 to 

upgrade activity in the rental portfolio . Allied capitalized $6,204 of borrowing costs to qualifying residential 

inventory . 

The appraised fair value of investment properties and investment properties held for sale is most commonly 

determined using the following methodologies: 

Discounted cash flow method (“DCF method”) - Under this approach, discount rates are applied to the 

projected annual operating cash flows, generally over a ten-year period, including a terminal value of the 

properties based on a capitalization rate applied to the estimated net operating income (“NOI”), a non-IFRS 

measure, in the terminal year . This method is primarily used to value the rental portfolio, and, in some 

cases, investment properties held for sale .    

Comparable sales method - This approach compares a subject property’s characteristics with those of 

comparable properties which have recently sold . The process uses one of several techniques to adjust 

the price of the comparable transactions according to the presence, absence, or degree of characteristics 

which influence value . These characteristics include the cost of construction incurred at a property under 

development . This method is primarily used to value the development portfolio and ancillary parking 

facilities and, in some cases, investment properties held for sale .  

Direct capitalization method - Under this approach, capitalization rates are applied to the estimated stabilized 

NOI of the properties . Estimated stabilized NOI is based on projected rental revenue and property operating 

costs, and external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, and is further adjusted for 

estimated vacancy loss and capital reserves . Currently, this method is used only to value residential use .

Allied’s portfolio is valued by an external appraiser each quarter . Management verifies all major inputs to 

the valuations, analyzes the change in fair values at the end of each reporting period and reviews the results 

with the independent appraiser every quarter . There were no material changes to the valuation techniques 

during the period .

In valuing the investment properties as at December 31, 2022, the independent appraiser compares 

the value derived using the DCF method to the value that would have been calculated by applying a 

capitalization rate to NOI . This is done to assess the reasonability of the value obtained under the DCF 

method . The resulting portfolio weighted average capitalization rate was 4 .62%, detailed in the table below:

RENTAL PROPERTIES

Allied’s rental portfolio was built by consolidating the ownership of urban office properties and network-

dense urban data centres . Scale within each city of focus proved to be important as Allied grew . It 

enabled Allied to provide users with greater expansion flexibility, more parking and better human and 

digital connectivity than its direct competitors . Scale across the country also proved to be important . It 

enabled Allied to serve national and global users better, to expand its growth opportunities and to achieve 

meaningful geographic diversification .

URBAN WORKSPACE

Allied has evolved into a leading owner operator of urban workspace in Canada’s major cities . It owns 

199 rental properties in six Canadian cities (three of these rental properties are partially under development) 

and five investment properties held for sale as at December 31, 2022 . Listed below are Allied’s top-10 urban 

workspace rental properties measured by Normalized Last Quarter Annualized (“LQA”) NOI, a non-IFRS 

measure . Refer to Non-IFRS Measures on page 21 . These properties represent 31 .3% of the total LQA NOI as

DISPOSITIONS

On January 24, 2022, Allied and its partners closed on the fifth and final phase of The Well air rights, 

the associated underground parking and transfer floor slab developments for net cash consideration of 

$14,841 (at Allied’s share), which represented the fair value at the time of disposition so accordingly there 

was no gain or loss recorded . In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied received cash of 

$413 (at Allied’s share) for the release of a holdback related to the disposition of the first phase of The Well 

air rights .

On June 30, 2022, Allied closed on the disposition of two investment properties held for sale, which were 

662 King Street West and 668 King Street West, both in Toronto, for net proceeds of $38,954 and $9,991, 

respectively . The total net cash consideration of $48,945 represented the fair value at the time of disposition, 

so there was no gain or loss recorded on closing . The disposition costs incurred were fully recoverable from 

the purchaser .

On August 16, 2022, Allied closed on the disposition of one investment property held for sale, 100 Lombard 

Street in Toronto, at a selling price of $26,000, which represented the fair value at the time of disposition, so 

there was no gain or loss recorded on closing . In addition, Allied incurred net working capital adjustments 

of $487 and selling costs of $21, resulting in total net cash consideration of $25,492 .

66

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTRENTAL PROPERTIES UNDERGOING INTENSIFICATION APPROVAL

One way Allied creates value is by intensifying the use of underutilized land . The land beneath the buildings 

in Toronto is significantly underutilized in relation to the existing zoning potential . This is also true of some 

of Allied’s buildings in Kitchener, Montréal, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver . These opportunities are 

becoming more compelling as the urban areas of Canada’s major cities intensify . Since Allied has captured 

the unutilized land value at a low cost, it can achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns on intensification . 

Allied began tracking the intensification potential inherent in the Toronto portfolio in the fourth quarter of 

2007 (see our MD&A dated March 7, 2008, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007) . At the time, 

the 46 properties in Toronto comprised 2 .4 million square feet of GLA and were situated on 780,000 square 

feet (17 .8 acres) of underutilized land immediately east and west of the Downtown Core . The 115 properties 

in Toronto (including properties in the development portfolio) now comprise 5 .0 million square feet of GLA 

and are situated on 40 .1 acres of underutilized land immediately east and west of the Downtown Core . With 

achievable rezoning, the underlying land in our Toronto portfolio could permit up to 12 .0 million square feet 

of GLA, 7 .0 million square feet more than currently is in place .

Allied entered the Montréal market in April of 2005 . The 34 properties in Montréal now comprise 6 .3 

million square feet of GLA . As they are much larger buildings on average than those comprising the Toronto 

portfolio, the 46 .1 acres of land on which they sit (immediately south, east and northeast of the Downtown 

Core) are more fully utilized than the land in the Toronto portfolio . Nevertheless, the underlying land in 

the Montréal portfolio could permit up to 9 .4 million square feet of GLA, 3 .1 million square feet more than 

currently is in place .

There is similar potential inherent in the rest of Allied’s portfolio, which is quantified in the chart below . 

Across Canada on a portfolio-wide basis, there is 12 .9 million square feet of potential incremental density, 

of which 2 .5 million square feet is currently in PUD, and the remaining 10 .4 million square feet is potential 

incremental density . Of the 10 .4 million square feet of potential incremental density, 5 .2 million square 

feet is reflected in the appraised fair values, mainly at properties where zoning approvals are in place . The 

remaining 5 .2 million square feet is not reflected in the appraised fair values .

predict with precision, however the chart below provides a reasonable estimate of when the potential could 

begin to be realized . One factor is our self-imposed limitation on development activity . The focus in the 

short-term and the long-term remains on the Toronto portfolio .

construction . With respect to the ultimate intensification of these properties, a significant amount of 

pre-leasing will be required on the larger projects before construction commences . The design-approval 

costs have been, and will continue to be, funded by Allied for its share . Allied intends to align all new 

developments and redevelopments with its Net Zero Carbon Plan .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 
 
DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES 

Development is another way to create value and a particularly effective one for Allied, given the strategic 

positioning of its portfolio in the urban areas of Canada’s major cities . Urban intensification is the single 

most important trend in relation to Allied’s business . Not only does it anchor Allied’s investment and 

operating focus, it provides the context within which Allied creates value for its Unitholders . 

The completion of projects currently under development is an important component of Allied’s growth . The 

expectation is largely contingent upon completing the development projects in the manner contemplated . 

The most important factor affecting completion will be successful lease-up of space in the development 

portfolio . The material assumption is that the office leasing market in the relevant markets remains stable . 

Pursuant to Allied’s Declaration of Trust, the cost of Properties Under Development cannot exceed 15% of 

GBV . At December 31, 2022, the cost of Allied’s Properties Under Development was 12 .6% of GBV (December 

31, 2021 - 11 .2%) . This self-imposed limitation is intended to align the magnitude of Allied’s development 

activity with the overall size of the business .

Properties Under Development consist of properties purchased with the intention of being developed or 

redeveloped before being operated and properties transferred from the rental portfolio once activities 

changing the condition or state of the property, such as the de-leasing process, commence .

Allied has the following 13 Properties Under Development and three rental properties partially under 

development . Seven of the projects are ground-up developments and nine are redevelopments .

GROUND-UP DEVELOPMENTS

Ground-up development involves construction of significant amounts of new leasable area .

71

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTThe initial cost of Properties Under Development includes the acquisition cost of the property, direct 

development costs, realty taxes and borrowing costs directly attributable to the development . Borrowing 

costs and realty taxes associated with direct expenditures on Properties Under Development are capitalized . 

The amount of capitalized borrowing costs 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 .

Transfer to the rental portfolio occurs when the property is capable of operating in the manner intended by 

Management . Generally this occurs upon completion of construction and receipt of all necessary occupancy 

and other permits . In some instances, particularly in ground-up developments like The Well and Breithaupt 

Phase III, base building work is underway during the fixturing period . In this case, transfer to the rental 

portfolio occurs when the base building work is complete . Estimated annual NOI is based on 100% economic 

occupancy . The most important factor affecting estimated annual NOI is the successful lease-up of vacant 

space in the development properties at current levels of net rent per square foot . The material assumption 

is that the office leasing market in the relevant markets remains stable . Estimated total cost includes 

acquisition cost, estimated total construction, financing costs and realty taxes . The material assumption 

made in formulating the estimated total cost is that construction and financing costs remain stable for the 

remainder of the development period . Estimated yield on cost is the estimated annual NOI as a percentage 

of the estimated total cost . Estimated cost to complete is the difference between the estimated total cost and 

the costs incurred to date .

business . Allied may transfer an investment property to residential inventory based on a change in use, 

as evidenced by the commencement of development activities with the intention to sell . Alternatively, a 

transfer from residential inventory to investment property would be evidenced by the commencement of 

leasing activity .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTOn November 30, 2018, Allied entered into a joint arrangement with Westbank to develop KING Toronto . 

KING Toronto is a mixed-use property comprised of office, retail and residential uses . As part of the 

arrangement Allied sold a 50% undivided interest to Westbank . The residential component will be 

developed and sold as condominium units, totaling 440 units . As at December 31, 2022, 384 units or 87% 

have been pre-sold, subject to customary closing conditions . Management expects the condominium sales to 

close in 2024 .

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied recorded an impairment of $15,729 on KING Toronto . 

Residential inventory carrying value is calculated as the estimated gross proceeds less estimated costs to 

complete . The impairment in the period reflects higher estimated costs to complete .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTSection VI
—Liquidity and Capital Resources

Allied’s liquidity and capital resources are used to fund capital investments including development 

activity, leasing costs, interest expense and distributions to Unitholders . The primary source of liquidity 

is net operating income generated from rental properties, which is dependent on rental and occupancy 

rates, the structure of lease agreements, leasing costs, and the rate and amount of capital investment and 

development activity, among other variables .

Allied has financed its operations through the use of equity, mortgage debt secured by rental properties, 

construction loans, a promissory note payable, an unsecured operating facility, senior unsecured 

debentures and unsecured term loans . Conservative financial management has been consistently applied 

through the use of long term, fixed rate, debt financing . Allied’s objective is to maximize financial 

flexibility while continuing to strengthen the balance sheet . Management intends to achieve this by 

continuing to access the equity market, unsecured debenture market, unsecured loans and growing the 

pool of unencumbered investment properties, which totals $8,345,530, representing 85 .2% of investment 

properties, on a proportionate basis, as at December 31, 2022 . Refer to Non-IFRS Measures on page 21 . 

In November 2021, Allied established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) which allows 

it to issue and sell up to $300,000 of Units to the public, from time to time, at its discretion . The ATM 

Program is designed to provide Allied with additional financing flexibility which may be used in conjunction 

with other existing funding sources . Allied intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for 

development, repayment of indebtedness and general trust purposes .

Stable

DBRS Limited (“DBRS”) and Moody’s Investors Service Inc . (“Moody’s”) provide issuer ratings and credit 

ratings of debt securities for commercial issuers that indicate the risk associated with a borrower’s 

capabilities to fulfill its obligations . The minimum DBRS investment grade rating is “BBB (low),” with the 

highest rating being “AAA .” The minimum Moody’s investment grade rating is “Baa3,” with the highest rating 

being “Aaa” .

With these ratings, Allied’s ability to access the debt capital markets on favourable financial terms will be 

enhanced . Allied expects the ratings to be particularly helpful as Allied fortifies the balance sheet with a 

view to bringing added financial flexibility and discipline to the urban development program . 

The above-mentioned ratings assigned to Allied and the Unsecured Debentures are not recommendations 

to buy, sell or hold any securities of Allied . Allied has paid customary rating fees to DBRS and Moody’s in 

connection with the above-mentioned ratings . There can be no assurance that any rating will remain in 

effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, withdrawn or revised by the rating 

agency if in its judgment circumstances so warrant .

governing the Unsecured Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans and the Unsecured Debentures .

A number of other financial ratios are also monitored by Allied, such as net debt as a multiple of annualized 

adjusted EBITDA and interest coverage ratio - including interest capitalized and excluding financing 

prepayment costs . These ratios are presented in Section I—Overview .

EQUITY

The equity of Allied is comprised of Units issued by Allied and Exchangeable LP Units issued by Allied 

Properties Exchangeable Limited Partnership (“the Partnership”): 

UNITS (AUTHORIZED - UNLIMITED)

Each Unit represents a single vote at any meeting of holders of Units and Special Voting Units  

(as defined below) and entitles the holders of Units and Special Voting Units to receive a pro rata share of all 

distributions, in accordance with the conditions provided for in the Declaration of Trust .

EXCHANGEABLE LP UNITS (AUTHORIZED - UNLIMITED)

Exchangeable LP Units issued by the Partnership are economically equivalent to Units, receive distributions 

equal to the distributions paid on the Units and are exchangeable, on a one-for-one basis, at the holder’s 

option, for Units . All Exchangeable LP Units are held, directly or indirectly, by Choice Properties .

The 11,809,145 Exchangeable LP Units issued on March 31, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of six 

properties from Choice Properties contain lock-up and standstill restrictions . The lock-up will expire based 

on the following schedule:

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

On February 22, 2022, Allied received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the renewal of 

its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), which entitles Allied to purchase up to 12,602,594 of its outstanding 

Units, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at February 10, 2022 . The NCIB commenced 

February 24, 2022, and will expire on February 23, 2023, or such earlier date as Allied completes its 

purchases pursuant to the NCIB . All purchases under the NCIB will be made on the open market through 

the facilities of the TSX or alternate trading systems in Canada at market prices prevailing at the time of 

purchase . Any Units that are repurchased will either be cancelled or delivered to participants under Allied’s 

Restricted Unit Plan or to employees pursuant to Allied’s employee programs . 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied purchased 61,725 Units for $2,664 at a weighted average 

price of $43 .16 per Unit under its NCIB program, of which 61,148 Units were purchased for delivery to 

participants under Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan and 577 Units were purchased for certain employee rewards 

outside of Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan .

86

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTCOMPENSATION PLANS

Allied adopted a unit option plan (the “Unit Option Plan”) providing for the issuance, from time to time, at 

the discretion of the trustees, of options to purchase Units for cash . Participation in the Unit Option Plan is 

restricted to certain employees of Allied . The Unit Option Plan complies with the requirements of the TSX . 

The exercise price of any option granted will not be less than the closing market price of the Units on the 

day preceding the date of grant . The term of the options may not exceed ten years . Options granted prior 

to February 22, 2017 vest evenly over three years; options granted subsequently vest evenly over four years 

from the date of grant . All options are settled in Units . Effective December 2021, no further options will be 

granted under the Unit Option Plan .

At December 31, 2022, Allied had granted options to purchase up to 1,717,043 Units outstanding, of 

which 1,151,274 had vested . At December 31, 2021, Allied had granted options to purchase 1,726,381 Units 

outstanding, of which 842,672 had vested . 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied recorded a unit-based compensation expense of $876 

(December 31, 2021 - $1,740) in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income 

and comprehensive income related to the Unit Option Plan .

In March 2010, Allied adopted a restricted unit plan (the “Restricted Unit Plan”), whereby restricted Units 

(“Restricted Units”) are granted to certain key employees and trustees, at the discretion of the Board of 

Trustees . The Restricted Units are purchased in the open market . Employees and trustees who are granted 

Restricted Units have the right to vote and to receive distributions from the date of the grant . Generally, the 

Restricted Units granted to employees vest as to one-third on each of the three anniversaries following the 

date of the grant . Restricted Units granted to non-management trustees are fully vested . Whether vested or 

not, without the specific authority of the Governance and Compensation Committee, the Restricted Units 

may not be sold, mortgaged or otherwise disposed of for a period of six years following the date of the grant, 

except that in the case of a non-management trustee, the release date will be automatically accelerated 

to the date such person ceases to hold office as a trustee of Allied . The Restricted Unit Plan contains 

provisions providing for the vesting or forfeiture of unvested Restricted Units within specified time periods 

in the event the employee’s employment is terminated, and authorizes the Chief Executive Officer, in his 

or her discretion, to accelerate the release date and vesting of Restricted Units in certain circumstances 

where an employee’s employment is terminated . At December 31, 2022, Allied had 322,411 Restricted Units 

outstanding (December 31, 2021 – 296,810) .

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied recorded a unit-based compensation expense of $2,807 

(December 31, 2021 - $2,376) in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income 

and comprehensive income related to the Restricted Unit Plan .

87

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTIn December 2021, Allied adopted a cash settled performance and restricted trust unit plan (the “PTU/RTU 

Plan”) whereby performance trust units and/or restricted trust units (together, “Plan Units”) are granted 

to certain employees at the discretion of the Board . Plan Units are subject to such vesting, settlement, 

performance criteria and adjustment factors as are established by the Board at the time of the grant and 

accumulate distribution equivalents in the form of additional Plan Units . The PTU/RTU Plan contains 

provisions providing for the vesting or forfeiture of unvested Plan Units within specified time periods in 

the event the employee’s employment is terminated, and authorizes the Chief Executive Officer, in their 

discretion, to amend the vesting and settlement of Plan Units in certain circumstances where an employee’s 

employment is terminated . The following is a summary of the activity of Allied’s PTU/RTU Plan:

DISTRIBUTIONS

Allied is focused on increasing distributions to its Unitholders on a regular and prudent basis . During the 

first 12 months of operations, Allied made regular monthly distributions of $1 .10 per unit on an annualized

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTOn each date that a distribution is declared by Allied on the Units, a distribution in an equal amount per 

unit is declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units . A holder of Exchangeable LP Units may 

elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of distributions declared by the Partnership until the first business 

day following the end of the fiscal year . If the holder elects to defer, the Partnership will loan the holder 

an amount equal to the deferred distribution without interest, and the loan will be due and payable on the 

first business day following the end of the fiscal year during which the loan was advanced . The distributions 

declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units from April 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, was 

$15,496, for which Choice Properties elected to receive a loan in lieu of all of the distributions . Of the 

$15,496 loan in lieu of distributions, a note receivable of $13,774 was issued to Choice Properties for the cash 

advances made during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, with the remaining $1,722 advanced 

to Choice Properties as a note receivable on January 16, 2023 . Since there is a legally enforceable right 

and an intention by Allied and Choice Properties to settle the note receivable from Choice Properties and 

the distributions payable to Choice Properties on a net basis, these financial instruments are offset on the 

balance sheet . On January 3, 2023, $13,774 of the note receivable due from Choice Properties was settled on 

a net basis against the distribution payable to Choice Properties .

SOURCES OF DISTRIBUTIONS

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, Allied declared $61,134 and $239,363 in 

distributions, respectively (December 31, 2021 - $54,225 and $216,521, respectively), including distributions 

to holders of the Exchangeable LP Units of $5,165 and $15,496, respectively (December 31, 2021 - $nil and

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTIn determining the amount of distributions to be made, Allied’s Board of Trustees consider many factors, 

including provisions in its Declaration of Trust, macroeconomic and industry specific environments, the 

overall financial condition of Allied, future capital requirements, debt covenants, and taxable income . 

In accordance with Allied’s distribution policy, Management and the Board of Trustees regularly review 

Allied’s rate of distributions to ensure an appropriate level of cash and non-cash distributions . Management 

anticipates that distributions declared will, in the foreseeable future, continue to vary from net income 

as net income includes fair value adjustments and other non-cash items . While cash flows from operating 

activities are generally sufficient to cover distribution requirements, timing of expenses and seasonal 

fluctuations in non-cash working capital may result in a shortfall . These seasonal or short-term fluctuations 

will be funded, if necessary, by the Unsecured Facility . As such, the cash distributions are not an economic 

return of capital, but a distribution of sustainable cash flow from operations . Based on current facts and 

assumptions, Management does not anticipate cash distributions will be reduced or suspended in the 

foreseeable future .

The rate of distribution as at December 31, 2022, amounts to $1 .75 per unit per annum (December 31, 2021 - 

$1 .70 per Unit per annum) .

COMMITMENTS

At December 31, 2022, Allied had future commitments as set out below, excluding the amount held within 

equity accounted investments:

DECEMBER 31, 2022

DECEMBER 31, 2021

Capital expenditures and committed acquisitions

$247,819

$473,779

As at December 31, 2022, commitments of $510 (December 31, 2021 - $354) were held within equity 

accounted investments . 

As at December 31, 2022, there are no committed acquisitions (December 31, 2021 - $126,198 for the 

acquisition of 700 Saint-Hubert, which closed on October 31, 2022) .

The above does not include Allied’s lease liability commitments, which are disclosed in note 13 of the 

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTSection VII
—Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and 

estimates in applying Allied’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in 

the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes .

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions are discussed in Allied’s audited consolidated financial 

statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the notes contained therein .

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies and any respective changes are discussed in Allied’s audited consolidated financial 

statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the notes contained therein .

91

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTSection VIII
—Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Management maintains appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to provide reasonable 

assurance that information that is publicly disclosed is complete, reliable and timely . The Chief Executive 

Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under 

their direct supervision, the design and operating effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as 

defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) 

at December 31, 2022, and based on that evaluation, have concluded that such disclosure controls and 

procedures were appropriately designed and were operating effectively .

Management is responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide 

reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial 

statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS . The CEO and CFO evaluated, or caused to 

be evaluated under their direct supervision, the effectiveness of Allied’s internal controls over financial 

reporting (as defined in National Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and 

Interim Filings) at December 31, 2022, using the COSO Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), 

published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission . Based on that 

assessment, the CEO and the CFO determined that internal controls over financial reporting were 

appropriately designed and were operating effectively .

No changes were made in the design of internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended 

December 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Allied’s 

internal controls over financial reporting . 

It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only 

reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met . Because of the 

inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance of 

control issues, including whether instances of fraud, if any, have been detected . These inherent limitations 

include, among other items: (i) that Management’s assumptions and judgments could ultimately prove to be 

incorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of any undetected errors; and (iii) that 

controls may be circumvented by the unauthorized acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, 

or by Management override .

92

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTSection IX
—Risks and Uncertainties

There are certain risk factors inherent in the investment and ownership of real estate . Real estate 

investments are capital intensive, and success from real estate investments depends upon maintaining 

occupancy levels and rental income flows to generate acceptable returns . These success factors are 

dependent on general economic conditions and local real estate markets, demand for leased premises 

and competition from other available properties . 

Allied’s portfolio is focused on a particular asset class in seven metropolitan real estate markets in Canada . 

This focus enables Management to capitalize on certain economies of scale and competitive advantages 

that would not otherwise be available .

The following discussion of risks is not exhaustive but is designed to highlight the key risks that may 

affect Allied’s business, operations and financial condition or future performance .

93

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTOPERATING RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

REAL ESTATE RISK

Allied is subject to the conventional risks associated with the ownership of real estate .

Certain significant expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, 

insurance costs and related charges must be made by Allied throughout the period of its ownership of 

the properties regardless of whether the property is producing sufficient income to cover such expenses . 

In order to provide desirable rentable space over the long term, Allied must maintain or, in some cases, 

improve each property’s condition to meet market demand . Maintaining and improving a rental property 

can entail significant costs that Allied may not be able to pass on to users . 

Real property investments tend to be relatively illiquid, with the degree of liquidity generally fluctuating in 

relation to demand for and the perceived desirability of such investments . Such illiquidity may tend to limit 

Allied’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions . If 

Allied were to dispose of real property investments, the proceeds to Allied might be significantly less than 

the aggregate carrying value of its properties .

Allied strives to mitigate these risks by remaining fully informed on best practices, trends and legislative and 

demographic changes in the commercial real estate markets within which we operate . Allied additionally 

strives to mitigate these risks by focusing intently on execution .

LEASE ROLL-OVER RISK

Allied is subject to lease roll-over risk . Lease roll-over risk arises from the possibility that Allied may 

experience difficulty renewing or replacing users occupying space covered by leases that mature . Allied 

strives to stagger its lease maturity schedule so that it is not faced with a disproportionately large level of 

lease maturities in a given year . For Allied’s current lease maturity schedule, refer to page 54 .

In evaluating lease roll-over risk, it is informative to determine Allied’s sensitivity to a decline in occupancy . 

For every full-year decline of 100 basis points in occupancy at its average rental rate per square foot, Allied’s 

annual AFFO excluding condominium related items, financing prepayment costs and the mark-to-market 

adjustment on unit-based compensation would decline by approximately $6,229 (approximately $0 .045 per 

unit) . The decline in AFFO excluding condominium related items and financing prepayment costs per unit 

would be more pronounced if the decline in occupancy involved space leased above the average rental rate 

per square foot and less pronounced if the decline in occupancy involved space leased below the average 

rental rate per square foot . 

USER TERMINATIONS AND FINANCIAL STABILITY

Allied’s distributable income would be adversely affected if a significant number of users were to become 

unable to meet their obligations under their leases or if a significant amount of available space in its 

properties were not able to be leased on economically favourable lease terms . Upon the expiry of any 

lease, there can be no assurance that the lease will be renewed or the user replaced . The terms of any 

subsequent lease may be less favourable to Allied than the existing lease . In the event of default by a user, 

94

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTdelays or limitations in enforcing rights as lessor may be experienced and substantial costs in protecting 

Allied’s investment may be incurred . Furthermore, at any time, a user of any of Allied’s properties may seek 

the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws that could result in the rejection and termination 

of such user’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in the cash flow available to Allied . The ability to rent 

unleased space in the properties in which Allied will have an interest will be affected by many factors . Costs 

may be incurred in making improvements or repairs to property required by a new user . The failure to rent 

unleased space on a timely basis or at all would likely have an adverse effect on Allied’s financial condition .

DEVELOPMENT RISK

As an owner of Properties Under Development, Allied is subject to development risks, such as construction 

delays, cost over-runs and the failure of users to take occupancy and pay rent in accordance with lease 

arrangements . In connection with all Properties Under Development, Allied incurs development costs prior 

to (and in anticipation of ) achieving a stabilized level of rental revenue . In the case of the development of 

ancillary or surplus land, these risks are managed in most cases by not commencing construction until a 

satisfactory level of pre-leasing is achieved . Overall, these risks are managed through Allied’s Declaration of 

Trust, which states that the cost of development cannot exceed 15% of GBV .

JOINT ARRANGEMENTS AND PARTNERSHIPS

Allied has entered into various joint arrangements and partnerships with different entities . If these joint 

arrangements or partnerships do not perform as expected or default on financial obligations, Allied has an 

associated risk . Allied reduces this risk by seeking to negotiate contractual rights upon default, by entering 

into agreements with financially stable partners and by working with partners who have a successful record 

of completing development projects .

Allied may own less than a controlling interest, may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making 

authority regarding the properties owned through joint arrangements and may not fully manage those 

properties . Investments in joint arrangements may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not 

present when a third party is not involved, including: (i) counter-party risk; (ii) the possibility that joint 

arrangement partners may have business interests or goals that are inconsistent with Allied’s business 

interests or goals; and (iii) the need to obtain the joint arrangement partner’s consent with respect to 

certain major decisions relating to these assets, such as decisions relating to the sale of the assets, timing 

and amount of distributions of cash from such properties to Allied and its joint arrangement partners, and 

capital expenditures . In addition, the sale or transfer of interests in certain of the joint arrangements and 

partnerships may be subject to rights of first refusal and certain of the joint arrangement agreements may 

provide for buy-sell, put or similar arrangements .

COMPETITION

The real estate business is competitive . Numerous other developers, managers and owners of office 

properties compete with Allied in seeking users . Some of the properties of Allied’s competitors are better 

located or less levered than Allied’s properties and any property in which Allied subsequently acquires an 

interest . Some of Allied’s competitors are better capitalized and stronger financially and hence better able 

95

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTto withstand an economic downturn . The existence of competing developers and owners and competition 

for Allied’s users could have an adverse effect on Allied’s ability to lease space in its properties and on the 

rents charged or concessions granted, and could adversely affect Allied’s revenues and its ability to meet its 

debt obligations . An increase in the availability of investment funds and an increase in interest in immovable 

property investments may tend to increase competition for immovable property investments, thereby 

increasing purchase prices and reducing the yield on them . Competition for acquisitions of real properties is 

intense, and some competitors may have the ability or inclination to acquire properties at a higher price or 

on terms less favourable than those that Allied is prepared to accept .

UNEXPECTED COSTS OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS

A risk associated with acquisitions is that there may be an undisclosed or unknown liability relating to 

the acquired property, and Allied may not be indemnified for some or all of these liabilities . Following an 

acquisition, Allied may discover that it has acquired undisclosed liabilities, which may be material . The due 

diligence procedures performed by Management are designed to address this risk . Allied performs what it 

believes to be an appropriate level of investigation in connection with its acquisition of properties and seeks 

through contract to ensure that risks lie with the appropriate party .

RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

The management of Allied depends on the services of certain key personnel . The loss of the services of any 

key personnel could have an adverse effect on Allied .

CONDOMINIUM MARKET

Some of Allied’s current development projects could be impacted by changes in condominium markets . 

These include changes in general and local economic and industry conditions, such as employment levels, 

availability of financing for homebuyers, interest rates, consumer confidence, levels of new and existing 

homes for sale, demographic trends and housing demand .

FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

FINANCING AND INTEREST RATE RISK

Allied is subject to risk associated with debt financing . Allied’s financing may include indebtedness with 

interest rates based on variable lending rates that will result in fluctuations in Allied’s cost of borrowing . 

The availability of debt to re-finance existing and maturing loans and the cost of servicing such debt will 

influence Allied’s success . In order to minimize risk associated with debt financing, Allied strives to re-

finance maturing loans with long-term fixed-rate debt and to stagger the maturities over time . For Allied’s 

current debt-maturity schedule, refer to page 77 .

Interest rates on debt for mortgages payable, promissory note payable, unsecured debentures and 

unsecured term loans are between 1 .00% and 4 .87% with a weighted average contractual interest rate of 

3 .10% . The weighted average term of our debt (excluding construction loans and the Unsecured Facility) is 

4 .8 years . Refer to note 12(b) and (d) of the consolidated financial statements for further details .

96

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTAllied is additionally subject to risk associated with equity financing . The ability to access the equity capital 

markets at appropriate points in time and at an acceptable cost will influence Allied’s success . In order to 

minimize the risk associated with equity financing, Allied engages in extensive investor relations activity 

with retail and institutional investors globally and strives to fix the cost of equity in conjunction with a clear 

use of proceeds .

ACCESS TO CAPITAL

The real estate industry is highly capital intensive . Allied will require access to capital to maintain its 

properties, to complete development and intensification projects, as well as to fund its growth strategy and 

significant capital expenditures from time to time . There is no assurance that capital will be available when 

needed or on favourable terms . Allied’s access to capital and cost of capital will be subject to a number of 

factors, including general market conditions; the market’s perception of Allied’s growth potential; Allied’s 

current and expected future earnings; Allied’s cash flow and cash distributions; and the market price of 

Allied’s Units . If Allied is unable to obtain sources of capital, it may not be able to acquire or develop assets, 

or pursue the development or intensification of properties when strategic opportunities arise .

AVAILABILITY OF CASH FLOW AND DISTRIBUTIONS

There can be no assurance that Allied will maintain or increase its distribution levels in the future . 

Distributions are made at the discretion of the Trustees based on many factors, including provisions of the 

Declaration of Trust, macroeconomic and industry specific environments, the overall financial condition of 

Allied, future capital requirements, debt covenants, and taxable income . Distributable income may exceed 

actual cash available to Allied from time to time because of items such as principal repayments of debt, user 

inducements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures, if any . Allied may be required to use part of its 

debt capacity or reduce distributions in order to accommodate such items . The market value of the Units 

may be negatively impacted if Allied is unable to maintain its distribution levels in the future .

MORTGAGE PAYMENTS

Approximately 76 .1% of the principal amount of the Mortgages have terms of five years or less . Variations in 

interest rates and principal repayments required under the Mortgages and Allied’s operating and acquisition 

credit facilities, on renewal or otherwise, could result in significant changes in the amount required to be 

applied to debt service and, as a result, reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Unitholders . 

Certain covenants in the Mortgages and credit facilities may also limit payments by Allied to its Unitholders . 

If Allied becomes unable to pay its debt service charges or otherwise commits an event of default, the rights 

of its lenders will rank senior to any rights of Unitholders .

97

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTCREDIT RISK

Allied is subject to credit risk arising from the possibility that users may not be able to fulfill their lease 

obligations . Allied strives to mitigate this risk by maintaining a diversified user-mix and limiting exposure to 

any single user . Allied’s exposure to top-10 users is 16 .8% of rental revenue and the credit quality of our top-

10 users continues to improve .

As Allied has invested in mortgages to third parties to facilitate acquisitions, further credit risks arise in the 

event that borrowers default on the repayment of their mortgages to Allied . Allied’s mortgage investments 

will typically be subordinate to prior ranking mortgage or charges . Not all of Allied’s financing activities will 

translate into acquisitions . As at December 31, 2022, Allied had $432,032 in loans receivable, the majority 

of which is loaned to affiliates of a single private company . In the event of a large commercial real estate 

market correction, the fair market value of an underlying property may be unable to support the mortgage 

investment . Allied mitigates this risk by obtaining corporate guarantees and/or registered mortgage charges .

UNIT PRICE RISK

Unit price risk arises from the unit-based compensation liabilities which are recorded at fair value at each 

quarter-end date . Allied’s unit-based compensation liabilities negatively impact operating income when the 

Unit price rises and positively impact operating income when the Unit price declines . 

POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF UNIT PRICES

Allied is an unincorporated trust and its Units are listed on the TSX . A publicly-traded real estate investment 

trust will not necessarily trade at values determined solely by reference to the underlying value of its real 

estate assets . The prices at which the Units will trade cannot be predicted and could be subject to significant 

fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, distributions, and other factors beyond 

the control of Allied such as changes or uncertainty regarding global economic conditions, including but 

not limited to those caused by the occurrence of a natural disaster, a public health emergency or other 

force majeure event . The annual yield on the Units as compared to the annual yield on other financial 

instruments may also influence the price of the Units in the public trading markets . In addition, securities 

markets may experience significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time that are unrelated or 

disproportionate to the operating performance of particular issuers . These broad fluctuations may adversely 

affect the market price of the Units .

DILUTION

Allied may, in its sole discretion, issue additional Units, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Units, 

from time to time, and the voting power and/or economic interest of Unitholders may be diluted thereby . 

Allied cannot predict the size or nature of future sales or issuances of securities, or the effect, if any, that 

such future sales and issuances will have on the market price of the Units . 

98

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTOTHER RISKS

COVID-19 RISK

As a result of the continuously evolving circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty 

remains with respect to Allied’s revised internal forecast, the most significant being the fact that it cannot 

predict how consumers, users and governments will respond during the transition to a fully reopened 

economy . In addition, Allied cannot predict the extent and severity of the economic disruption and related 

financial impact flowing from the global pandemic .  

The global pandemic could have adverse consequences on Allied including, but not limited to, business 

continuity interruptions, disruptions and costs of development activities, unfavorable market conditions, 

and threats to the health and safety of employees . Allied’s users may also face business challenges as a result 

of the pandemic that may adversely affect their business and their ability to pay rent as required under the 

leases . Allied has afforded rent deferrals to certain users . There can be no assurance that deferred rents 

will be collected in accordance with deferral arrangements or at all . Any inability to collect rents in a timely 

manner or at all could adversely affect Allied’s business and financial results . 

Certain of the materials and products used in the development of Allied’s Properties Under Development 

are sourced from third-party suppliers and manufacturers in China and elsewhere . The COVID-19 pandemic 

has resulted in the extended shutdown of certain businesses across the world which may in turn result 

in disruptions or delays to the supply of such materials and products including disruptions from the 

temporary closure of third-party supplier and manufacturer facilities and interruptions in product supply . 

Any disruption of Allied’s suppliers and their contract manufacturers may have an impact on the planned 

development of Allied’s Properties Under Development and related timelines . 

In response to the pandemic, Allied has developed and implemented a plan to monitor and mitigate risks 

posed to its employees, users and business . Allied’s plan is guided by local public health authorities and 

governments in each of its markets . Allied continues to closely monitor business operations and may take 

further actions that respond to directives of governments and public health authorities or that are in the best 

interests of employees, users, suppliers or other stakeholders, as necessary .

However, no such plan can eliminate the risks associated with events of this magnitude, and much of the 

impacts will be the result of matters beyond Allied’s control . There can be no assurance that the measures 

undertaken to date will eliminate the risk of disruption to Allied’s business operations and development 

activity, and there can be no assurance that Allied’s users will be able to maintain their business operations 

and continue to be able to pay rent in full, on a timely basis or at all . Such events could materially adversely 

affect Allied’s operations, reputation and financial condition, including the fair value of Allied’s properties .

The global pandemic has caused an economic slowdown and increased volatility in financial markets, 

which has negatively impacted the market price for the equity securities of Allied . Governments and central 

banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions intended to stabilize economic conditions . 

99

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTHowever, it is not currently known how these interventions will impact debt and equity markets or the 

economy generally . Although the impact of COVID-19, and its duration, on the global economy remains 

uncertain, disruptions caused by COVID-19 may materially adversely affect Allied’s users, the debt and 

equity markets and Allied’s operations and financial performance . It could also potentially affect Allied’s 

current credit ratings, total return and distributions . Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, Allied 

may experience material adverse impacts to its business as a result of the global economy as well as lingering 

effects on Allied’s employees, suppliers, third-party service providers and/or users .

GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Allied may be affected by changes in general economic conditions (such as inflation and the availability 

and cost of credit), local real estate markets (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for 

real estate in the area), government regulations, competition from other available premises, including new 

developments, and various other factors . Property valuations may be impacted by inflation and interest 

rate risk . The global economy may face increasing uncertainty due to acts of nature, including the COVID-19 

global pandemic, trade protectionism, disputes and political events around the world, which could 

potentially impact Canadian trade and the Canadian economy at large . This could have an impact on the 

markets in which Allied operates and in turn could have an adverse effect on Allied .

GENERAL UNINSURED LOSSES

Allied carries comprehensive general liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with 

policy specifications, limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties . There are, however, 

certain types of risks, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as wars or environmental contamination, 

which are either uninsurable or not insurable on an economically viable basis . Allied will have insurance 

for earthquake risks, subject to certain policy limits, deductibles and self-insurance arrangements, and 

will continue to carry such insurance if it is economical to do so . Should an uninsured or underinsured 

loss occur, Allied could lose its investment in, and anticipated profits and cash flows from, one or more of 

its properties, but Allied would continue to be obliged to repay any recourse mortgage indebtedness on 

such properties .

ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE RISK

As an owner of real estate, Allied is subject to various federal, provincial and municipal laws relating 

to environmental matters . Allied will make the necessary capital and operating expenditures to ensure 

compliance with environmental laws and regulations . 

Such laws provide that Allied could be liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances, 

remediation of certain hazardous locations or other environmental impacts . The failure to remove or 

remediate such substances, locations or environmental impacts, if any, could adversely affect Allied’s 

ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral and could potentially also 

result in claims against Allied . Allied is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws 

at any of the properties . Allied is also not aware of any pending or threatened investigations or actions by 

environmental regulatory authorities in connection with any of the properties or any pending or threatened 

claims relating to environmental conditions at the properties .

100

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTClimate change could pose significant environmental, social and business risks . If environmental laws and 

regulations change, Allied could be subject to more stringent environmental laws and regulations in the 

future . Compliance with more stringent environmental laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on 

Allied’s business, financial condition or results of operation . It is Allied’s operating policy to obtain a Phase 

I environmental assessment conducted by an independent and experienced environmental consultant 

prior to acquiring a property . Phase I environmental assessments have been performed in respect of all 

properties . Allied is committed to evaluating potential impacts to its business on an ongoing basis and to 

making investments to mitigate potential identified impacts .

Physical risks from climate change that may result in damage to Allied’s properties may include natural 

disasters and severe weather, such as floods, blizzards and rising temperatures . The extent of Allied’s 

casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of 

the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area . Allied is also exposed to risks associated 

with inclement winter weather, including increased need for maintenance and repair of its buildings . In 

addition, the physical impacts from climate change, including changing weather patterns, could have effects 

on Allied’s business by increasing the cost of property insurance, and/or energy at its properties . As a result, 

the consequences of natural disasters, severe weather and climate change could increase Allied’s costs 

and reduce Allied’s cash flow . Allied is evaluating all of its assets to understand how the physical risks from 

climate change could impact the portfolio and is taking a proactive and precautionary approach to mitigate 

potential impacts .

Although there can be no assurances, Allied does not believe that costs relating to environmental matters 

will have a material adverse effect on Allied’s business, financial condition or results of operation .

TAXATION RISK

Allied is a mutual fund trust as defined in the Tax Act . The Tax Act contains restrictions relating to the 

activities and the investments permitted by a mutual fund trust and, if Allied failed to adhere to these 

restrictions, adverse tax consequences would arise .

On June 22, 2007, specified investment flow through trusts or partnerships (“SIFT”) rules were introduced 

and changed the manner in which certain trusts are taxed . Certain distributions from a SIFT would not 

be deductible in computing the SIFT’s taxable income and therefore the distributions would be subject 

to trust entity level tax, at the general tax rate applicable to Canadian corporations . Trusts that meet the 

REIT exemption are not subject to SIFT rules . The determination as to whether Allied qualifies for the REIT 

exemption in a particular taxation year can only be made with certainty at the end of that taxation year . 

Asset tests need to be met at all times in the taxation year and revenue tests need to be met for the taxation 

year . While there is uncertainty surrounding the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the REIT 

exemption and application of SIFT rules, Allied expects that it will qualify for the REIT exemption .

In the event that the SIFT rules apply to Allied, the impact to Unitholders will depend on the status of 

the holder and, in part, on the amount of income distributed which would not be deductible by Allied in 

computing its income in a particular year and what portions of Allied’s distributions constitute  

“non-portfolio earnings”, other income and return of capital . 

101

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTCYBERSECURITY RISK

The efficient operation of Allied’s business is dependent on computer hardware and software systems . 

Information systems are vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents . A cybersecurity incident is considered to be 

any material adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of Allied’s information 

resources . A cybersecurity incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event including, but not 

limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data or information systems, and 

other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems, unauthorized release 

of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data . Allied’s primary risks that 

could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to 

its reputation, damage to its business relationships with users, the disclosure of confidential information 

including personally identifiable information, potential liability to third parties, loss of revenue, additional 

regulatory scrutiny and fines, as well as litigation and other costs and expenses . Allied undertakes regular 

internal and external assessments of its information security posture, including annual third-party 

penetration testing and ongoing third-party assessment of Allied’s information technology footprint . Allied 

has adopted ISO 27001:2013 as a guiding framework for its portfolio and has obtained ISO 27001 certification 

and a SOC 2 Type 2 audit report for its UDC portfolio . For information stored with or processed by third 

parties, Allied undertakes due diligence prior to working with them and uses contractual means to ensure 

compliance to standards set by Allied . Allied’s employees complete information security training every four 

months and an external Information Technology General Controls audit is completed annually . Additionally, 

Allied monitors and assesses risks surrounding collection, usage, storage, protection, and retention/

destruction practices of personal data . Allied also maintains information security risk insurance coverage . 

Since inception, Allied has not experienced an unauthorized intrusion or infiltration of its systems that 

has resulted in a data breach . These measures, as well as Allied’s increased awareness of a risk of a cyber 

incident, do not guarantee that its financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident .

CHANGES IN LEGISLATION AND INVESTMENT ELIGIBILITY

There can be no assurance that income tax laws (or the judicial interpretation thereof or the administrative 

and/or assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency) and/or the treatment of mutual fund trusts will 

not be changed in a manner which adversely affects Unitholders . Allied will endeavour to ensure that the 

Units continue to be qualified investments for registered retirement savings plans, deferred profit sharing 

plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans, registered disability savings 

plans and tax-free savings accounts . Units will cease to be qualified investments for registered retirement 

savings plans, deferred profit sharing plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education 

savings plans, registered disability savings plans and tax-free savings accounts if the Units were no longer 

listed on a stock exchange that, for the purposes of the Tax Act, is a designated stock exchange (which 

includes the TSX) and Allied no longer qualified as a mutual fund trust or as a registered investment . The 

Tax Act imposes penalties for the acquisition or holding of non-qualified investments .

102

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTABSENCE OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Unitholders do not have all of the statutory rights normally associated with ownership of shares of a 

company . On May 12, 2016, Allied amended the Declaration of Trust to include certain rights, remedies 

and procedures in favour of Unitholders consistent, to the extent possible, with those available to 

shareholders of a corporation pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act, as further described in 

Allied’s Management Information Circular dated April 11, 2016 . The rights granted in the Declaration of 

Trust are granted as contractual rights afforded to Unitholders (rather than as statutory rights) . Similar to 

other existing rights contained in Allied’s Declaration of Trust (i .e ., the take-over bid provisions and conflict 

of interest provisions), making these rights and remedies and certain procedures available by contract is 

structurally different from the manner in which the equivalent rights and remedies or procedures (including 

the procedure for enforcing such remedies) are made available to shareholders of a corporation, who 

benefit from those rights and remedies or procedures by the corporate statute that governs the corporation, 

such as the Canada Business Corporations Act . As such, there is no certainty how these rights, remedies or 

procedures may be treated by the courts in the non-corporate context or that a Unitholder will be able to 

enforce the rights and remedies in the manner contemplated by the amendments . Furthermore, how the 

courts will treat these rights, remedies and procedures will be in the discretion of the court, and the courts 

may choose to not accept jurisdiction to consider any claim contemplated in the provisions .

The Units are not “deposits” within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act and are not 

insured under the provisions of that Act or any other legislation . Furthermore, Allied is not a trust company 

and, accordingly, it is not registered under any trust and loan company legislation as it does not carry on or 

intend to carry on the business of a trust company .

UNITHOLDER LIABILITY

On December 16, 2004, the Province of Ontario proclaimed the Trust Beneficiaries Liability Act (Ontario) 

in force . This legislation provides that beneficiaries of Ontario based income trusts are not liable, as 

beneficiaries, for any act, default, obligation or liability of the income trust . Unitholders of Allied will have 

the benefit of this legislation with respect to liabilities arising on or after December 16, 2004 . This legislation 

has not been subject to interpretation by courts in the Province of Ontario or elsewhere .

necessary internal controls to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded, assets are 

safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition, and liabilities are recognized .

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for ensuring that Management fulfills its responsibility 

for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated 

financial statements . The Board carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee 

(the “Committee”), which is comprised entirely of independent trustees . The Committee reviews the 

consolidated financial statements with both Management and the independent auditors . The Committee 

reports its findings to the Board, which approves the consolidated financial statements before they are 

submitted to the Unitholders of Allied .

Deloitte LLP (the “Auditors”), the independent auditors of Allied, have audited the consolidated financial 

statements of Allied in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards to enable them to 

express to the Unitholders their opinion on the consolidated financial statements . The Auditors have direct 

and full access to, and meet periodically with the Committee, both with and without Management present .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTIndependent Auditor’s Report

TO THE UNITHOLDERS AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF   

ALLIED PROPERTIES REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust 

(the “Trust”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the 

consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the years then 

ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting 

policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) .

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 

position of the Trust as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for 

the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) .

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“Canadian 

GAAS”) . Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for 

the Audit of the 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 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 MATTER

A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the 

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 . This matter was addressed in the 

context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, 

and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter .

115

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTFAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES AND INVESTMENT PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE— REFER 

TO NOTES 2(D), 2(S), 3, 5 AND 6 OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

KEY AUDIT MATTER DESCRIPTION

Investment properties and investment properties held for sale (collectively, “investment properties”) 

are accounted for using the fair value model . The Trust predominantly uses the discounted cash flow 

(“DCF”) method to estimate fair value and uses the comparable sales method primarily for properties 

under development . The critical assumptions relating to the Trust’s estimates of fair values of investment 

properties include discount rates, terminal capitalization rates, and anticipated cash flow assumptions 

relating to occupancy and rental rates .

While there are several assumptions that are required to determine the fair value of all investment 

properties using the DCF method, the critical assumptions with the highest degree of subjectivity and 

impact on fair values are the anticipated rental rates, discount rates, and terminal capitalization rates . 

Auditing these critical assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment as the estimations made by 

management contain significant measurement uncertainty . This resulted in an increased extent of audit 

effort, including the need to involve fair value specialists .

HOW THE KEY AUDIT MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Our audit procedures related to the anticipated rental rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates 

used to determine the fair value of the investment properties included the following, among others:

—  Evaluated the effectiveness of controls over determining investment properties’ fair value, 

including those over the determination of the anticipated rental rates, discount rates and terminal 

capitalization rates .

—  Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecast of anticipated rental rates by comparing 

management’s forecasts with historical results, internal communications to management and the 

Board of Trustees, and contractual information, where applicable . 

—  With the assistance of fair value specialists, evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecast of 

anticipated rental rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates by considering recent market 

transactions and industry surveys .

OTHER INFORMATION

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

—  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

—  The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the 

Annual Report . 

Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our 

responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other 

information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, 

or otherwise appears to be materially misstated . 

116

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTWe obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and 

the Annual Report prior to the date of this auditor’s report . If, based on the work we have performed on 

this other information, 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 .

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE 

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in 

accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the 

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error .

In preparing the 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 .

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 GAAS 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 

financial statements .

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 

professional skepticism throughout the audit . We also:

— 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 . 

117

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT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 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 financial statements, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in 

a manner that achieves fair presentation .

—  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 

or business activities within the Trust to express an opinion on the financial statements . We are 

responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit . We remain solely 

responsible for our audit opinion .

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 consolidated 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 Antonio Ciciretto .

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were approved 

and authorized for issue by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on January 31, 2023 .

(b)  Basis of presentation 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the 

following items that were measured at fair value:

124

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT— 

— 

— 

investment properties as described in note 2 

(d)

 and 

note 5;

investment properties held for sale and lease liability held for sale as described in note 2 (s);

interest rate swaps as described in note 2 (i); and 

—  unit-based compensation liabilities as described in note 17 (c) .

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is Allied’s functional 

currency, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated .

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires Allied to make estimates and 

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 

statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses . Actual outcomes could differ from these 

estimates . These consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are 

uncertain . The impact of such estimates is pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, 

and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences . Revisions to accounting 

estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and the revision affects both 

current and future periods . Significant estimates and assumptions include the fair values assigned to 

investment properties and investment properties held for sale, interest rate derivative contracts, unit-

based compensation liabilities, and allowances for expected credit losses .

(c)  Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Allied and its subsidiaries .

Subsidiaries are all entities over which Allied has control, where control is defined as the power to 

direct the relevant activities of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities . Control exists when a 

parent company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from the subsidiaries and has the ability 

to affect those returns through its power .

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is transferred to Allied, and are de-consolidated 

from the date control ceases . Intercompany transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated on 

consolidation . Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure 

consistency with the policies adopted by Allied . All subsidiaries have a reporting date of December 31 .

(d)  Investment properties

At the time of acquisition of a property, Allied applies judgment when determining if the acquisition is 

an asset acquisition or a business combination .

Allied classifies its acquisitions as asset acquisitions when it acquires a property or a portfolio of 

properties and it has not acquired an operating platform .

Investment properties include rental properties and properties under development that are owned by 

Allied, or leased by Allied as a lessee, to earn rental revenue and/or for capital appreciation . Investment 

properties are accounted for using the fair value model . Rental income and operating expenses from 

investment properties are reported within ‘total revenue’ and ‘total operating expenses’ respectively .

125

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTWhere Allied has concluded an acquisition of an asset, Allied uses the asset purchase model whereby 

the initial cost of an investment property is comprised of its purchase price and any directly attributable 

expenditures . Directly attributable expenditures include transaction costs such as due diligence costs, 

appraisal fees, environmental fees, legal fees, land transfer taxes, and brokerage fees .

Investment properties are externally appraised quarterly and are reported in the Consolidated Balance 

Sheets at their fair values . Fair value is based on valuations prepared by a nationally recognized and 

qualified independent professional appraiser with sufficient experience with respect to both the 

geographic location and the nature of the investment property and supported by market evidence . 

Any gain or loss resulting from a change in the fair value of an investment property is immediately 

recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income . The fair value of 

each investment property is based upon, among other things, rental income from current leases and 

assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the balance sheet 

date, less future estimated non-recoverable capital cash outflows in respect of such properties .

The independent professional appraiser engaged by Allied predominantly uses the discounted cash flow 

method to determine fair value, whereby the income and expenses are projected over the anticipated 

term of the investment and combined with a terminal value, all of which is discounted using an 

appropriate discount rate . Properties under development are measured using both a comparable sales 

method and a discounted cash flow method, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date . For 

further details on methods used, refer to note 5 . Valuations of investment properties are most sensitive 

to changes in discount rates and capitalization rates .

Allied has applied judgment based on the extent that costs are incurred to enhance the service potential 

of the property in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of investment 

properties or will be expensed .

Allied has applied judgment when reporting its properties under development . The cost of properties 

under development includes the acquisition cost of the property, direct development costs, realty taxes 

and borrowing costs attributable to the development . See 2 (g) below for further information regarding 

Allied’s accounting for borrowing costs .

(e)  Joint arrangements

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending 

on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor . Joint control is the contractually agreed 

sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities 

require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control .

Joint Operation

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the 

assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement . A joint operation usually results 

from direct interests in the assets and liabilities of an investee . None of the parties involved have 

unilateral control of a joint operation . Allied accounts for its joint arrangements as joint operations 

wherein it records its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operations .

126

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTJoint Venture

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the net 

assets relating to the arrangement, and usually results from the establishment of a separate legal entity . 

Allied accounts for its joint ventures using the equity method . The share of results of earnings (loss) of 

the joint venture is reflected in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income .

Under the equity method, an investment in a joint venture is recognized initially in the consolidated 

balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize Allied’s share of the profit or loss and other 

comprehensive income of the joint venture in accordance with Allied’s accounting policies . When 

Allied’s share of losses of a joint venture exceeds Allied’s interest in that joint venture (which includes 

any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of Allied’s net investment in the joint venture), 

Allied continues recognizing its share of further losses to the extent that Allied has incurred legal or 

constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture .

When Allied transacts with a joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the 

joint venture are recognized in Allied’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests 

in the joint venture that are not related to Allied .

(f)  Revenue recognition

Allied has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties 

and as such accounts for its leases with tenants as operating leases .

Revenue includes rents from tenants under leases, property tax and operating cost recoveries, 

percentage participation rents, lease cancellation fees, parking income and other income . Rents from 

tenants may include free rent periods and rental increases over the term of the lease and are recognized 

in revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease . Typically, in ground-up developments, 

when there are fixturing periods outside of the term of the lease, revenue is not recognized during 

these fixturing periods . The difference between revenue recognized and the cash received is included in 

investment properties as straight-line rents receivable .

Lease incentives provided to tenants (referred to as tenant improvements) are deferred and amortized 

on a straight-line basis against revenue over the term of the lease . Recoveries from tenants are 

recognized as revenue in the period in which the applicable costs are incurred . Percentage participation 

rents are recognized after the minimum sales level has been achieved with each lease, where applicable . 

Lease cancellation fees are recognized as revenue once an agreement is completed with the tenant 

to terminate the lease and the collectability is reasonably assured . Other income is recognized upon 

provision of goods or services when collectability is reasonably assured .

Contracts with customers for residential condominium units generally include one distinct performance 

obligation . Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract, and is recognized at 

the point in time in which control over the property has been transferred . Customer deposits received 

are held in trust and restricted for use .

127

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(g)  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquiring or constructing a qualifying investment property are 

capitalized . Capitalization commences when the activities necessary to prepare an asset for development 

or redevelopment begin, and ceases once the asset is substantially complete, or is suspended if the 

development of the asset is suspended . 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 costs incurred on those borrowings . The capitalization of borrowing costs is 

suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted .

(h)  Other assets

Computer and office equipment and owner occupied property are included in other assets and are stated 

at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses . Cost includes expenditures 

that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset .

For the assets that are amortized, Allied records amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the 

assets’ estimated useful life . This is generally three to seven years for computer and office equipment, 

and will vary for owner occupied property depending on the property . The assets’ residual values and 

useful lives are reviewed annually or if expectations differ from previous estimates, and adjusted if 

appropriate .

When events and circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired, the carrying amount is written down 

immediately to its recoverable amount (defined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and 

its value in use) .

(i)  Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks and short-term deposits with 

original maturities of three months or less .

Mortgages payable consists of the legal liabilities owing pursuant to loans secured by mortgages and 

premiums and discounts recognized on loans assumed on acquisition of properties, netted against 

the transaction costs, and the effective interest method of amortization is applied to the premiums, 

discounts and transaction costs .

The following table describes Allied’s classification and measurement of its financial assets and liabilities:

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTAllied designated its accounts receivable, loans and notes receivable, and cash and cash equivalents as 

loans and receivables; its debt and accounts payable and other liabilities as other financial liabilities . 

All derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are classified at fair value through profit or loss and are 

recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value .

At the end of each reporting period, Allied will reassess categorization between levels in the hierarchy 

to determine whether transfers have occurred . The reassessment is based on the lowest level input that 

is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety .

Financial Assets

Financial assets are classified as loans and receivables or fair value through profit or loss . Financial 

assets are initially measured at fair value . Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the 

acquisition or issuance of financial assets or liabilities, with the exception of those classified as at fair 

value through profit or loss, are accounted for as part of the respective asset or liability’s carrying value 

at inception and amortized over the expected life of the financial instrument using the effective interest 

method . Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or 

liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in net income .

Impairment of Financial Assets

Allied assesses, on a continual basis, whether a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost is 

impaired under an expected credit loss (“ECL”) model . For user trade receivables within the scope of 

IFRS 16, Allied applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime 

losses to be recognized under the initial recognition of its receivables . To measure the expected credit 

losses for its accounts receivable, Allied established a provision matrix, that applies loss factors to 

contractual payments by aging categories, and incorporates forward-looking factors that are specific to 

the tenant, historical credit loss experience, and the economic environment, where applicable . 

For loans and notes receivable, Allied applies an ECL approach as required under IFRS 9, which reflects 

the present value of all cash shortfalls related to default events either (i) over the following twelve 

months or (ii) over the expected life of a financial instrument depending on the credit deterioration 

from inception . The ECL reflects an unbiased, probability-weighted outcome which considers multiple 

scenarios based on reasonable and supportable forecasts . Allied assesses whether there has been 

a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition of a financial instrument and its ECL 

measurement at each reporting date . Increases or decreases in the ECL are recognized as impairment 

gains or losses within interest (expense) income in net income and comprehensive income (loss) . 

Allied’s financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented net of the ECL in the consolidated 

balance sheets .

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified and measured as disclosed in the table above . Financial liabilities are 

initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the 

instrument and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for 

financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss, that are carried 

subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss .

129

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTAllied measures its debt, finance lease obligations, and accounts payable and other liabilities, at 

amortized cost using the effective interest method . All interest-related charges are reported in the 

Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and are included within ‘Interest 

expense’, except for those interest-related charges capitalized to qualifying properties under 

development or rental properties .

From time to time, Allied uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks from fluctuations in 

interest rates . All derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives that must be separately 

accounted for, are valued at their respective fair values unless they are effective cash flow hedging 

instruments .

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, Allied assesses whether or not to designate the 

derivative as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (a “fair-value hedge”) or a 

hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability or  

a forecasted transaction (a “cash-flow hedge”) . Allied does not hold any fair-value or cash-flow hedges .

Allied has entered into interest rate derivative contracts to limit its exposure to fluctuations in the 

interest rates on variable rate mortgages, unsecured term loans and construction loans . Gains or losses 

arising from the change in fair values of the interest rate derivative contracts are recognized in the 

Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income .

(j)  Unitholders’ equity

Trust Units represents the initial value of Units that have been issued . Any transaction costs associated 

with the issuing of Units are deducted from Unit proceeds .

Unitholders’ equity includes all current and prior period retained income . Distributions payable to 

Unitholders are included in ‘Distributions payable on Units’ when the distributions have been approved 

and declared prior to the reporting date, but have yet to be paid .

(k)  Exchangeable limited partnership units

The Exchangeable LP Units may, at the request of the holder, be exchanged on a one-for-one basis 

for Units of Allied . The Exchangeable LP Units are entitled to distributions from the Partnership in 

an amount equal to distributions declared by Allied on the Units . The Exchangeable LP Units provide 

the holder the indirect economic benefits and exposures to the underlying performance of Allied and 

accordingly to the variability of the distributions of Allied, whereas Allied’s unitholders have direct 

access to the economic benefits and exposures of Allied through direct ownership interest in Allied . 

Accordingly, the Exchangeable LP Units have been presented within non-controlling interests on the 

consolidated balance sheets . Net income and other comprehensive income are attributed to unitholders 

and to non-controlling interests . Net income and other comprehensive income attributable to non-

controlling interests is equivalent to the amount allocated to the Partnership for income tax purposes .

The basic net income per unit is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of 

Units and Exchangeable LP Units outstanding for the period (note 18) .

Distributions payable to holders of Exchangeable LP Units are included in ‘Distributions Payable on 

Exchangeable LP Units’ when the distributions have been approved and declared prior to the reporting 

date, but have yet to be paid .

130

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(l)  Short-term employee benefits

Allied does not provide pension plan benefits . Short-term employee benefits are expensed as a 

period expense .

(m)  Unit-based compensation plans

Equity-settled unit-based payments to employees and trustees are measured at the fair value of the 

equity instruments at the grant date .

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled unit-based payments is expensed on 

a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled 

to equity instruments, based on Allied’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest . At 

the end of each reporting period, Allied revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments that 

are expected to vest . Allied utilizes the Black-Scholes Model for the valuation of unit options with no 

performance criteria, see note 17 for assumptions used .

Unit options granted under the Unit Option Plan and Restricted Units granted under the Restricted 

Unit Plan are subject to vesting conditions and disposition restrictions, in order to provide a long 

term compensation incentive . The Unit Options and Restricted Units are subject to forfeiture until 

the participant has held his or her position with Allied for a specified period of time . Full vesting of 

Restricted Units and Unit Options may not occur until the participant has remained employed by 

Allied for three and four years, respectively from the date of grant . Upon forfeiture of Unit Options and 

Restricted Units by an employee or trustee of Allied, the expense related to any unvested, forfeited Unit 

Options and Restricted Units recognized up to and including the date of the forfeiture is reversed .

(n)  Cash-settled unit-based compensation plans

Under the Performance and Restricted Trust Unit Plan (the “PTU/RTU Plan”), performance trust units 

and/or restricted trust units (together, “Plan Units”) are granted which entitle certain key employees 

to receive the fair value of the Plan Units in cash as a lump sum payment at the end of the applicable 

vesting period, which is usually three years in length . The PTU/RTU Plan provides for the accumulation 

of additional Plan Units in the form of distribution equivalents during the vesting period . 

The Plan Units are recognized as an expense, on a straight-line basis over the period that the employees 

render service, in general and administrative expenses with a corresponding amount recorded to 

unit-based compensation liabilities . The unit-based compensation liabilities are measured based on 

the market value of the underlying units . During the periods in which the unit-based compensation 

liabilities are outstanding, the liabilities are adjusted for changes in the market value of the underlying 

units, with such positive or negative adjustments recognized in general and administrative expenses 

in the period in which they occur . For the performance trust units’ liabilities, performance market 

conditions are also considered and the performance trust unit liabilities are adjusted accordingly . Upon 

forfeiture of Plan Units by an employee, the liability representing the cumulative expense recognized to 

date is reversed with a corresponding reversal of expense .

131

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(o)  Provisions

Provisions are recognized when there is 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 . Allied does 

not have any provisions as of the date of this report .

(p)  Per unit calculations

Basic net income per unit is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Units 

outstanding for the period (refer to note 18 for further details) .

Diluted net income per unit is calculated using the denominator of the basic calculation described 

above adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of the outstanding unit purchase options . The 

denominator is increased by the total number of additional Units that would have been issued by Allied 

assuming exercise of all unit purchase options with exercise prices below the average market price for 

the year (refer to note 17 for further details) .

(q)  Residential inventories

Residential inventory are assets that are developed by Allied for sale in the ordinary course of business 

and is recorded at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value . Impairment is reviewed at each 

reporting date, with any losses recognized in net income when the carrying value of the inventory 

exceeds its net realizable value . The net realizable value is defined as the entity-specific future selling 

price, including any development plans, in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of 

completion and selling costs .

The cost of residential inventory includes any costs that are directly attributable to bring the projects to 

a state of active development, which includes borrowing costs . Borrowing costs are accounted under 

IAS 23 similarly to Allied’s policies for capitalization to qualifying assets .

(r)  Leases

Allied recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease obligation at the lease commencement date, 

in accordance with IFRS 16, Leases . Allied accounts for its ROU assets that do not meet the definition of 

investment property as fixed assets . The ROU asset is initially measured at cost and, subsequently, at 

cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the 

lease obligation . When a ROU asset meets the definition of investment property, it is initially measured 

at cost and subsequently measured at fair value (note 2(d)) . Land held as part of the operating leases 

(“ground leases”) which meets the definition of investment property is classified as ROU assets within 

investment properties . Management office leases and leases for equipment components embedded as 

part of service contracts which do not meet the definitions of investment property are recognized as 

ROU assets within other real estate assets . Refer below to the various lease types identified and their 

respective financial statement classification .

Lease liability

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments at the commencement 

date, discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or, if that rate cannot be readily 

determined, at Allied’s incremental borrowing rate . Generally, Allied uses its incremental borrowing 

rate as the discount rate . The lease obligation is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying 

amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease 

payments made . Lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments 

arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in estimate of the amount expected to be payable 

under the residual value guarantee or, as appropriate, change in the assessment of whether a purchase 

or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain 

not to be exercised .

Allied has applied judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee 

that include renewal or termination options . The assessment of whether Allied is reasonably certain to 

exercise such options impacts the lease term which in turn, affects the amount of lease obligations and 

right-of-use assets recognized . Allied also applies judgment in determining the discount rate used to 

present value the lease obligations .

(s)  Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets and groups of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups are presented 

as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the asset or disposal group is available 

for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable . A sale is highly probable 

when management is committed to a plan to sell the asset, the non-current asset or disposal group is 

being actively marketed at a sale price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, the sale 

is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification, and it is unlikely there 

will be significant changes to the plan or that the plan will be withdrawn . Non-current assets and 

disposal groups held for sale that are not investment properties are recorded at the lower of carrying 

amount and fair value less costs to sell on the Consolidated Balance Sheets . Otherwise, the non-current 

assets and disposal groups held for sale are recorded at fair value . Any gain or loss arising from the 

change in measurement basis as a result of reclassification is recognized in net income at the time of 

reclassification . Investment properties that are held for sale are recorded at fair value determined in 

accordance with IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement .  

When a component of an entity has been disposed of and it represents a separate major line of business 

or geographical area of operations, or is classified as held for sale and is part of a single coordinated 

plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, the related results of operations and 

gain or loss on reclassification or disposition are presented separately as discontinued operations on 

133

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTthe Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income . The non-current assets and groups 

of assets and liabilities which comprise disposal groups classified as held for sale are not revised in the 

Consolidated Balance Sheets for prior periods to reflect the classification for the latest period presented . 

However, the revenue, expenses, fair value gain or loss, and any other components making up the net 

income and comprehensive income of the discontinued operations are revised for the comparative 

period in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income and Comprehensive Income .  

(t)  Comparative figures

Comparative figures in respect of loans and notes receivables previously classified in financing activities 

in the consolidated statements of cash flows have been revised to be classified in investing activities to 

conform to the presentation in the current year .

Comparative figures in respect of segment information were revised to present the City of Vancouver 

separately from previous presentation within the Calgary and Edmonton segment . The revision reflects 

the presentation based on the effect of internal reorganization and corresponding information reported 

to and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess the performance 

of the segments .

3 .  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and 

estimates in applying Allied’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made 

in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes .

Within the context of these consolidated financial statements, a judgment is a decision made by 

management in respect of the application of an accounting policy, a recognized or unrecognized 

financial statement amount and/or note disclosure, following an analysis of relevant information that 

may include estimates and assumptions . Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining 

the measurement of balances recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and are 

based on a set of underlying data that may include management’s historical experience, knowledge 

of current events and conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the 

circumstances . Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses .

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation 

uncertainty that Allied believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in 

the consolidated financial statements . Allied’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in note 2 .

Investment Properties

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied - Judgment is applied in determining whether 

certain costs are additions to the carrying value of investment properties, identifying the point at which 

substantial completion of a development property occurs, and identifying the directly attributable 

borrowing costs to be included in the carrying value of the development property . Allied also applies 

judgment in determining whether the properties it acquires are considered to be asset acquisitions or 

business combinations . Allied has determined through the appropriate analysis that all the properties it 

has acquired to date to be asset acquisitions .

134

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTKey Sources of Estimation - The fair value of investment properties and investment properties held for 

sale is dependent on available comparable transactions, future cash flows over the holding period and 

discount rates and capitalization rates applicable to those assets . For further details, see note 5 . The 

review of anticipated cash flows involves assumptions relating to occupancy, rental rates and residual 

value . In addition to reviewing anticipated cash flows, management assesses changes in the business 

climate and other factors which may affect the ultimate value of the property . These assumptions may 

not ultimately be achieved .

Joint Arrangements

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied - Judgment is applied in determining whether 

Allied has joint control and whether the arrangements are joint operations or joint ventures . In 

making this assessment management applies judgment to determine Allied’s rights and obligations 

in the arrangement based on factors such as the structure, legal form and contractual terms of the 

arrangement .

Income Taxes

Judgments Made in Relation to Accounting Policies Applied - Allied qualifies as a mutual fund trust (“MFT”) 

and a REIT as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) . Allied is not liable to pay entity level Canadian 

income taxes provided that its taxable income is fully distributed to Unitholders each year and if it 

meets the prescribed rules under the Income Tax Act (Canada) to be a REIT and MFT . This results in no 

current or deferred income tax being recognized in the financial statements .

Allied applies judgment in determining whether it will continue to qualify as a REIT and in assessing its 

interpretation and application to its assets and revenue . While there are uncertainties in interpretation 

and application of these rules, Allied believes it meets the REIT and MFT rules .

Allied expects to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Income Tax Act (Canada), however, should it 

no longer qualify, it would be subject to entity level tax and would be required to recognize current and 

deferred income taxes .

Impact of COVID-19

As a result of the continuously evolving circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, 

uncertainty remains with respect to Allied’s revised internal forecast, the most significant being the 

fact that it cannot predict how consumers, users and governments will respond during the transition to 

a fully reopened economy . In addition, Allied cannot predict the extent and severity of the economic 

disruption and related financial impact flowing from the global pandemic .   

In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, Allied has incorporated the potential 

impact of COVID-19 into its estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of its assets and 

liabilities and the reported amount of its results using the best available information as at December 31, 

2022 . Actual results could differ from those estimates . The estimates and assumptions that Allied 

considers critical and/or could be impacted by COVID-19 include those underlying the valuation of 

135

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTinvestment properties and investment properties held for sale, including discount rates and terminal 

capitalization rates, operating assumptions, the carrying amount of its investment in a joint venture, 

the estimate of any expected credit losses on its accounts receivable and loans and notes receivable and 

determining the values of financial instruments .

located in Montréal . The increase of $1,268,570 in the year ended December 31, 2022, is due to the 

addition of five properties and disposition of three investment properties held for sale (note 4) .                          

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied capitalized $47,606 (December 31, 2021 - $34,973) of 

borrowing costs to qualifying investment properties .

139

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTIncluded in the rental properties amounts noted above are right-of-use assets with a fair value of 

$564,200 (December 31, 2021 - $528,400) representing the fair value of Allied’s interest in four 

investment properties and one investment property held for sale with corresponding lease liabilities . 

The leases’ maturities range from 21 .8 years to 79 .5 years . In addition, Allied has a prepaid land 

leasehold interest on a property with a fair value of $178,020 and a maturity of 73 .6 years .

Valuation Methodology

The appraised fair value of investment properties and investment properties held for sale is most 

commonly determined using the following methodologies: 

(a)  Discounted cash flow method - Under this approach, discount rates are applied to the projected 

annual operating cash flows, generally over a ten-year period, including a terminal value of the 

properties based on a capitalization rate applied to the estimated net operating income (“NOI”), a 

non-IFRS measure, in the terminal year . This method is primarily used to value the rental portfolio, 

and, in some cases, investment properties held for sale .  

(b)  Comparable sales method - This approach compares a subject property’s characteristics with 

those of comparable properties which have recently sold . The process uses one of several 

techniques to adjust the price of the comparable transactions according to the presence, absence, 

or degree of characteristics which influence value . These characteristics include the cost of 

construction incurred at a property under development . This method is primarily used to value the 

development portfolio and ancillary parking facilities and, in some cases, investment properties 

held for sale . 

(c)  Direct capitalization method - Under this approach, capitalization rates are applied to the estimated 

stabilized NOI of the properties . Estimated stabilized NOI is based on projected rental revenue and 

property operating costs, and external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties, 

and is further adjusted for estimated vacancy loss and capital reserves . Currently, this method is 

used only to value residential use .

In accordance with its policy, Allied measures and records its investment properties and investment 

properties held for sale using valuations under the supervision of Management with the support of 

an independent external appraiser . Allied’s portfolio is valued by an external appraiser each quarter . 

Management verifies all major inputs to the valuations, analyzes the change in fair values at the end 

of each reporting period and reviews the results with the independent appraiser every quarter . There 

were no material changes to the valuation techniques during the period .

Significant Inputs

There are significant unobservable inputs used, such as capitalization rates, in determining the fair 

value of each investment property and investment property held for sale . Accordingly, all investment 

properties and investment properties held for sale are measured in accordance with the fair value 

measurement hierarchy levels and the inputs comprise Level 3 unobservable inputs, reflecting 

Management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset at the 

140

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTmeasurement date . Fair values are most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates and stabilized or 

forecasted NOI . Generally, an increase in NOI will result in an increase in the fair value and an increase 

in capitalization rates will result in a decrease in the fair value . Below are the rates used in the modeling 

process for valuations of investment properties and investment properties held for sale .

Residential inventory consists of assets that are developed by Allied for sale in the ordinary course of 

business . Allied may transfer an investment property to residential inventory based on a change in use, 

as evidenced by the commencement of development activities with the intention to sell . Alternatively, a 

transfer from residential inventory to investment property would be evidenced by the commencement 

of leasing activity . 

On November 30, 2018, Allied entered into a joint arrangement with Westbank to develop KING 

Toronto . KING Toronto is a mixed-use property comprised of office, retail and residential uses . As part 

of the arrangement Allied sold a 50% undivided interest to Westbank . The residential component will be 

developed and sold as condominium units, totaling 440 units . 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied recorded an impairment of $15,729 on KING Toronto . 

Residential inventory carrying value is calculated as the estimated gross proceeds less estimated costs to 

complete . The impairment in the period reflects higher estimated costs to complete .

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied capitalized $6,204 (December 31, 2021 - $4,759) of 

borrowing costs to qualifying residential inventory .

Allied uses various methods in estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities that are measured on 

a recurring or non-recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheet after initial recognition . The fair 

value hierarchy reflects the significance of inputs used in determining the fair values .

—  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

—  Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets or valuation techniques where 

significant inputs are based on observable market data; and

—  Level 3 – valuation technique for which significant inputs are not based on observable market data .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTThe following summarizes the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value 

of Allied’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Interest Rate Swap Derivative Contracts

The fair value of Allied’s interest rate derivative contracts, which represent a net asset as at 

December 31, 2022, is $32,401 (December 31, 2021 - net liability of $4,942) . The fair value of the 

derivative contracts is determined using forward interest rates observable in the market (Level 2) .

—

$32,401

$—

(4,942)

$(4,942)

The fair value of Allied’s unit-based compensation liabilities is based on the market value of the 

underlying units . For the performance trust units, the performance market conditions are also taken 

into consideration .

Debt, Loans and Notes Receivable

The fair value of debt and loans and notes receivable are determined by discounting the cash flows of 

these financial instruments using period end market rates for instruments of similar terms and credit 

risks that are observable in the market (Level 2) .

16 .  EQUITY

The equity of Allied is comprised of Units issued by Allied and Exchangeable LP Units issued by the 

Partnership: 

Units (authorized - unlimited)

Each Unit represents a single vote at any meeting of holders of Units and Special Voting Units (as 

defined below) and entitles the holders of Units and Special Voting Units to receive a pro rata share of all 

distributions, in accordance with the conditions provided for in the Declaration of Trust .

Exchangeable LP Units (authorized - unlimited)

Exchangeable LP Units issued by the Partnership are economically equivalent to Units, receive 

distributions equal to the distributions paid on the Units and are exchangeable, at the holder’s option, 

for Units . All Exchangeable LP Units are held, directly or indirectly, by Choice Properties .

158

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTThe 11,809,145 Exchangeable LP Units issued on March 31, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of 

certain properties (see note 4) contain lock-up and standstill restrictions . The lock-up will expire based 

on the following schedule:

Special Voting Units .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTDuring the year ended December 31, 2022, the acquisition of six office assets from Choice Properties 

was satisfied in part by the issuance of 11,809,145 Exchangeable LP Units . In January 2022, Allied issued 

211,800 Units under the at-the-market program (“ATM Program”) in settlement of trades executed at the 

end of December 2021 at a weighted average price of $44 .02 per Unit for gross proceeds of $9,324, and 

incurred commissions of $140, for net proceeds of $9,184 . The ATM Program is described in note 27

(a)

 .

During the year ended December 31, 2021, Allied issued 477,100 Units under the ATM Program at a 

weighted average price of $44 .07 per Unit for gross proceeds of $21,028, and incurred commissions 

of $315, for net proceeds of $20,713 . Issuance costs on the ATM Program were $634 for the year ended 

December 31, 2021 . The commissions and issuance costs were applied against the gross proceeds and 

charged against Unitholders’ equity .

Allied does not hold any of its own Units, nor does Allied reserve any Units for issue under options 

and contracts .

Distributions

On January 16, 2023, Allied declared a distribution for the month of January 2023 of $0 .15 per Unit, 

representing $1 .80 per Unit on an annualized basis to Unitholders of record as at January 31, 2023 .

On each date that a distribution is declared by Allied on the Units, a distribution in an equal amount 

per unit is declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units . A holder of Exchangeable LP 

Units may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of distributions declared by the Partnership until 

the first business day following the end of the fiscal year . If the holder elects to defer, the Partnership 

will loan the holder an amount equal to the deferred distribution without interest, and the loan will 

be due and payable on the first business day following the end of the fiscal year during which the loan 

was advanced . The distributions declared by the Partnership on the Exchangeable LP Units from April 

1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was $15,496, for which Choice Properties elected to receive a loan in lieu 

of all of the distributions . Of the $15,496 loan in lieu of distributions, a note receivable of $13,774 was 

issued to Choice Properties for the cash advances made during the nine months ended December 31, 

2022, with the remaining $1,722 advanced to Choice Properties as a note receivable on January 16, 2023 . 

Since there is a legally enforceable right and an intention by Allied and Choice Properties to settle the 

note receivable from Choice Properties and the distributions payable to Choice Properties on a net basis 

on the first business day following the end of the fiscal year, these financial instruments are offset on the 

balance sheet . On January 3, 2023, $13,774 of the note receivable due from Choice Properties was settled 

on a net basis against the distributions payable to Choice Properties . 

On January 16, 2023, the Partnership declared a distribution for the month of January 2023 of $0 .15 per 

Exchangeable LP Unit, representing $1 .80 per Exchangeable LP Unit on an annualized basis to holders 

of the Exchangeable Units as at January 31, 2023, for which Choice Properties elected to receive a loan in 

lieu of the distribution . 

160

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORTNormal Course Issuer Bid

On February 22, 2022, Allied received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the 

renewal of its normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), which entitles Allied to purchase up to 12,602,594 

of its outstanding Units, representing approximately 10% of its public float as at February 10, 2022 . 

The NCIB commenced February 24, 2022, and will expire on February 23, 2023, or such earlier date 

as Allied completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB . All purchases under the NCIB will be made 

on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or alternate trading systems in Canada at market 

prices prevailing at the time of purchase . Any Units that are repurchased will either be cancelled 

or delivered to participants under Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan or to employees pursuant to Allied’s 

employee programs . 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied purchased 61,725 Units for $2,664 at a weighted 

average price of $43 .16 per Unit under its NCIB program, of which 61,148 Units were purchased for 

delivery to participants under Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan and 577 Units were purchased for certain 

employee rewards outside of Allied’s Restricted Unit Plan .

17 .  COMPENSATION PLANS

(a)  Unit Option Plan 

Allied adopted a Unit Option Plan providing for the issuance, from time to time, at the discretion of 

the trustees, of options to purchase Units for cash . Participation in the Unit Option Plan is restricted 

to certain employees of Allied . The Unit Option Plan complies with the requirements of the TSX . The 

exercise price of any option granted will not be less than the closing market price of the Units on the 

day preceding the date of grant . Options granted prior to February 22, 2017, vest evenly over three years 

and options granted subsequently vest evenly over four years from the date of grant . All options are 

settled in Units . Effective December 2021, no further options will be granted under the Unit Option Plan .

(December 31, 2021 - $1,740) in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of 

income and comprehensive income .

(b)  Restricted Unit Plan

Certain employees and the Trustees of Allied may be granted Restricted Units pursuant to the terms of 

the Restricted Unit Plan, which are subject to vesting conditions and disposition restrictions, in order 

to provide a long-term compensation incentive . The Restricted Units will not vest and remain subject 

to forfeiture until the participant has held his or her position with Allied for a specific period of time . 

Generally, one third of the Restricted Units vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries from 

the date of grant for employees . Restricted Units granted to non-management trustees are fully vested 

on the grant date . Units required under the Restricted Unit Plan are acquired in the secondary market 

through a custodian and then distributed to the individual participant accounts . Restricted Units are 

released to participants forthwith following the sixth anniversary of the award date or such other date 

as determined in accordance with the Restricted Unit Plan .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(c)  Performance and Restricted Trust Unit Plan

In December 2021, Allied adopted a cash settled performance and restricted trust unit plan (the “PTU/

RTU Plan”) whereby performance trust units and/or restricted trust units (together, “Plan Units”) are 

granted to certain employees at the discretion of the Board . Plan Units are subject to such vesting, 

settlement, performance criteria and adjustment factors as are established by the Board at the time of 

the grant and accumulate distribution equivalents in the form of additional Plan Units . The PTU/RTU 

Plan contains provisions providing for the vesting or forfeiture of unvested Plan Units within specified 

time periods in the event the employee’s employment is terminated, and authorizes the Chief Executive 

Officer, in their discretion, to amend the vesting and settlement of Plan Units in certain circumstances 

where an employee’s employment is terminated . The following is a summary of the activity of Allied’s

23 .  JOINT OPERATIONS

Allied has investments in properties under joint arrangements which are accounted for as joint 

operations . The following tables summarize Allied’s ownership interests in joint operations and its share 

of the rights to the assets, its share of the obligations with respect to liabilities, and its share of revenues 

and expenses for the joint operations in which it participates .

Allied’s joint arrangements are governed by agreements with the respective co-owners . Included within 

the agreements are standard exit and transfer provisions that include, but are not limited to, buy/sell 

and/or right of first offers or refusals that provide for unwinding the arrangement . Allied is liable for its 

proportionate share of the obligations of the arrangement . In the event that there is default on payment 

by the co-owner, credit risk is typically mitigated with an option to remedy any non-performance by 

the defaulting co-owner, as well as recourse against the asset, whereby claims would be against both the 

underlying real estate investments and the co-owner in default .

IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires reportable segments to be determined based on internal reports 

that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of 

allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance . Allied has determined that its 

CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer . Allied’s operating segments are managed by use of 

properties and cities . The urban office properties are managed by geographic location consisting of four 

groups of cities .

The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of Allied’s operating segments based on net rental 

income and operating income .

Management reviews assets and liabilities on a total basis and therefore assets and liabilities are not 

included in the segmented information below . All revenue is generated in Canada and all assets and 

liabilities are located in Canada .

Allied does not allocate interest expense to segments as debt is viewed by Management to be used for 

the purpose of acquisitions, development and improvement of all the properties . Similarly, general and 

administrative expenses, interest income, fair value of investment properties and investment properties 

held for sale, fair value of derivative instruments and impairment of residential inventory are not 

allocated to operating segments .

As at December 31, 2022, the Urban Data Centre segment has been classified as discontinued operations 

(note 6) and is therefore excluded from the following tables, which present a reconciliation of operating 

income to net income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 .

25 .  INCOME TAXES

Allied qualifies as a REIT and MFT for income tax purposes . Pursuant to its Declaration of Trust, it 

also distributes or designates substantially all of its taxable income to Unitholders and deducts such 

distributions or designations for income tax purposes . Accordingly, there is no entity level tax and no 

provision for current and deferred income taxes in the financial statements . Income tax obligations 

relating to distributions of Allied are the obligations of the Unitholders .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT27 .  RISK MANAGEMENT

(a)  Capital management

Allied defines capital as the aggregate of equity, mortgages payable, construction loans payable, 

promissory note payable, Unsecured Facility, Unsecured Debentures, Unsecured Term Loans and 

lease liabilities . Allied manages its capital to comply with investment and debt restrictions pursuant 

to the Declaration of Trust, to comply with debt covenants, to ensure sufficient operating funds are 

available to fund business strategies, to fund leasing and capital expenditures, to fund acquisitions 

and development activities of properties, and to provide stable and growing cash distributions 

to Unitholders .

Various debt, equity and earnings distributions ratios are used to monitor capital adequacy 

requirements . For debt management, debt to gross book value and fair value, debt average term to 

maturity, and variable debt as a percentage of debt are the primary ratios used in capital management . 

The Declaration of Trust requires Allied to maintain debt to gross book value, as defined by the 

Declaration of Trust, of less than 60% (65% including convertible debentures, if any) and the variable 

rate debt and debt having maturities of less than one year to not exceed 15% of gross book value . As at 

December 31, 2022, the debt to gross book value ratio was 35 .6% (December 31, 2021 - 33 .5%) and debts 

having variable interest rates or maturities of less than one year aggregated to 7 .4% of gross book value 

(December 31, 2021 - 4 .2%) .

On June 2, 2021, Allied filed a short form base shelf prospectus allowing for the issuance, from time to 

time, of Units and debt securities, or any combination thereof having an aggregate offering price of up 

to $3,000,000 . This document is valid for a 25-month period . The short form base shelf prospectus filed 

on June 2, 2021 was amended on November 11, 2021 (the “Shelf Prospectus”), and was filed in each of 

the provinces and territories of Canada . On November 12, 2021, Allied filed a prospectus supplement to 

its Shelf Prospectus, allowing Allied to offer and issue Units under the ATM Program up to $300,000 . 

Distributions of Units under the ATM Program, if any, will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity 

distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) dated November 12, 2021, entered into among 

Allied, Goldman Sachs Canada Inc ., National Bank Financial Inc . and Scotia Capital Inc . The volume 

and timing of any distributions of Units under the ATM Program will be determined in Allied’s sole 

discretion . The ATM Program will be effective until July 2, 2023, unless earlier terminated in accordance 

with the terms of the Distribution Agreement . As Units distributed under the ATM Program will be 

issued and sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers 

during the period of the ATM Program . 

Allied has certain key financial covenants in its Unsecured Debentures, Unsecured Facility and 

Unsecured Term Loans . The key financial covenants include debt service ratios and leverage ratios, as 

defined in the respective agreements . These ratios are evaluated by Allied on an ongoing basis to ensure 

compliance with the agreements . Allied was in compliance with each of the key financial covenants 

under these agreements as at December 31, 2022 .

172

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(b)  Market risk 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of financial instruments will fluctuate 

because of changes in market prices . Allied is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings . All of 

Allied’s mortgages payable as at December 31, 2022 are at fixed interest rates and are not exposed to 

changes in interest rates during the term of the debt . However, there is interest rate risk associated 

with Allied’s fixed interest rate term debt due to the expected requirement to refinance such debts 

upon maturity . As fixed rate debt matures and as Allied utilizes additional floating rate debt under the 

Unsecured Facility, Allied will be further exposed to changes in interest rates . As at December 31, 2022, 

the Unsecured Facility, which is at a floating interest rate and is exposed to changes in interest rates, 

had a balance outstanding of $440,000 (December 31, 2021 - $365,000) . Also, Allied has construction 

loans payable, of which $138,240 is subject to floating interest rates and is exposed to changes in 

interest rates (December 31, 2021 - $70,648) . In addition, there is a risk that interest rates will fluctuate 

from the date Allied commits to a debt to the date the interest rate is set with the lender . As part of its 

risk management program, Allied endeavours to maintain an appropriate mix of fixed rate and floating 

rate debt, to stagger the maturities of its debt and to minimize the time between committing to a debt 

and the date the interest rate is set with the lender .

The following table illustrates the annualized sensitivity of income and equity to a reasonably possible 

change in interest rates of +/- 1 .0% . These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on 

observation of current market conditions . The calculations are based on a change in the average market 

interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive 

to changes in interest rates . All other variables are held constant .

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(c)  Credit risk

As Allied has provided loans and advances to facilitate property development, further credit risks arise 

in the event that borrowers default on the repayment of their amounts owing to Allied . Allied’s loans 

and advances will be subordinate to prior ranking mortgages or charges . As at December 31, 2022, Allied 

had $432,032 outstanding in loans receivable (December 31, 2021 - $367,579) and $113,287 outstanding 

in joint venture loan receivable (December 31, 2021 - $113,287) . In the event of a large commercial real 

estate market correction, the fair market value of an underlying property may be unable to support 

the loan value . Allied mitigates this risk by obtaining corporate guarantees and/or registered mortgage 

charges and assignment of leases, performing credit checks on potential borrowers, monitoring the 

financial and operating performance of borrowers, monitoring the status of development projects and 

ensuring interest payments are made on time . The expected credit losses estimated by Management, 

giving consideration to the factors above, as at December 31, 2022, are $nil (December 31, 2021 - $nil) 

(note 9) .

Credit risk from user receivables arises from the possibility that users may experience financial difficulty 

and be unable to fulfill their lease commitments, resulting in Allied incurring a financial loss . Allied 

manages credit risk to mitigate exposure to financial loss by staggering lease maturities, diversifying 

revenue sources over a large user base, ensuring no individual user contributes a significant portion of 

Allied’s revenues and conducting credit reviews of new users . The expected credit losses estimated by 

Management at December 31, 2022, are $11,336 (December 31, 2021 - $9,177) (note 11

 (a)

) .

Allied considers that all the financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the reporting 

dates under review are of good quality . The carrying amount of accounts receivable best represents 

Allied’s maximum exposure to credit risk . None of Allied’s financial assets are secured by collateral or 

other credit enhancements . 

An aging of trade receivables, including trade receivables past due but not impaired can be shown

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT(d)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility of not having sufficient capital available to fund ongoing 

operations or the ability to refinance or meet obligations as they come due . Mitigation of liquidity risk 

is also managed through credit risk as discussed above . A portion of Allied’s assets have been pledged 

as security under the related mortgages and other security agreements . Contractual interest rates on 

the mortgages payable are between 2 .77% and 4 .30% for December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - 2 .77% 

and 4 .30%) .

Allied entered into interest rate derivative contracts to limit its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates 

on $650,000 of its variable rate unsecured term loan and $85,485 of its construction loans (December 

31, 2021 - $250,000 and $62,048, respectively) . As at December 31, 2021, Allied repaid all of its variable 

rate mortgages payable and exited its associated interest rate derivative contracts on these mortgages 

payable with a cash settlement of $3,781 . Gains or losses arising from the change in fair values of 

the interest rate derivative contracts are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and 

comprehensive income . For the year ended December 31, 2022, Allied recognized as part of the change 

in fair value adjustment on derivative instruments a fair value gain of $37,343 (December 31, 2021 - 

$16,350) .

Liquidity and capital availability risks are mitigated by maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity, 

diversifying Allied’s sources of funding, maintaining a well-staggered debt maturity profile and actively 

monitoring market conditions .

(f )  Unit price risk

Unit price risk arises from the unit-based compensation liabilities which are recorded at fair value at 

each quarter-end date . Allied’s unit-based compensation liabilities negatively impact operating income 

when the Unit price rises and positively impact operating income when the Unit price declines . 

175

ALLIED 2022 ANNUAL REPORT28 .  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Allied has entered into commitments for acquisitions, development activity and building renovations 

from leasing activity . The commitments as at December 31, 2022 were $247,819 (December 31, 2021 - 

$473,779) .

Commitments as at December 31, 2022 of $510 (December 31, 2021 - $354) were held within equity 

accounted investments .

As at December 31, 2022, there are no committed acquisitions (December 31, 2021 - $126,198 for the 

acquisition of 700 Saint-Hubert, which closed on October 31, 2022) .

Allied is subject to legal and other claims in the normal course of business . Management and legal 

counsel evaluate all claims . In the opinion of Management these claims are generally covered by Allied’s 

insurance policies and any liability from such remaining claims are not probable to occur and would not 

have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements .

Allied, through a financial intermediary, has issued letters of credit in the amount of $23,952 as at 

December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $28,256) .
