Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a
whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our auditors’ report.
Assessment of the fair value measurement of the investment in NND LP
Description of the matter
We draw attention to Notes 3(k), 4(b), and 7 to the financial statements. The investment in
NND LP is a financial instrument recorded at fair value and has a carrying value of $43,627
thousand. The valuation of NND LP includes an estimate of the discounted cash flows
receivable from NND LP and takes into consideration a number of different variables that
requires management to exercise judgment. In determining the fair value, the Entity’s
significant assumption is the discount rate used to discount the contractual cash flows
receivable from NND LP.
Why the matter is a key audit matter
We identified the assessment of the fair value measurement of the investment in NND LP as
a key audit matter. This matter represented an area of significant risk of material
misstatement given the high degree of estimation uncertainty in determining the fair value.
As a result, specialized skills and knowledge and significant auditor judgement were required
in evaluating the results of our audit procedures due to the sensitivity of the fair value to minor
changes in the discount rate.
How the matter was addressed in the audit
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter:
We evaluated the appropriateness of the Entity’s projection of Nurse Next Door’s operating
results by comparing the projected results to historical actual results of Nurse Next Door. We
also compared the Entity’s historical projection of Nurse Next Door’s operating results to
actual operating results to assess the Entity’s ability to project operating results.
We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in
evaluating the discount rate assumption used in the fair value measurement of the
investment in NND LP. The valuation professionals compared the discount rate assumption
against a discount rate range that was independently developed using publicly available
reports of industry commentators for comparable entities. The valuation professionals
considered features and risks specific to the investment in NND LP.
Assessment of the recoverable amount of intangible assets
Description of the matter
We draw attention to Notes 3(e), 4(b), and 8(f) to the financial statements. The intangible
assets are carried at cost and have a carrying value of $300,901 thousand. An impairment
Diversified Royalty Corp.
Page 3
loss totaling $25,901 thousand was recorded. The Entity tests intangible assets for
impairment annually or when there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In
determining the recoverable amount of each intangible asset, the Entity’s significant
assumptions include the projected sales underlying the royalty payment and pre-tax discount
rate.
Why the matter is a key audit matter
We identified the assessment of the recoverable amount of intangible assets as a key audit
matter. This matter represented an area of significant risk of material misstatement given the
high degree of estimation uncertainty in determining the recoverable amount. Minor changes
in the projected sales underlying the royalty payment and pre-tax discount rates had a
significant effect on the recoverable amount. These factors indicated a significant risk of
material misstatement. As a result, specialized skills and knowledge and significant auditor
judgement were required in evaluating the results of our audit procedures.
How the matter was addressed in the audit
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter:
We evaluated the appropriateness of the Entity’s projected sales underlying the royalty
payment by comparing the projected sales to historical sales and external industry reports.
When performing this assessment, we considered specific conditions and events affecting
the sales.
We compared the Entity’s historical revenue projections to actual results to assess the
Entity’s ability to accurately project future revenue.
We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in
the evaluation of the pre-tax discount rate used in the determination of the recoverable
amount. The valuation professionals evaluated the pre-tax discount rate by comparing it
against a pre-tax discount rate range that was independently developed using publicly
available reports of industry commentators for comparable entities. The valuation
professionals considered features and risks specific to the intangible assets.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises the
information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the relevant
Canadian Securities Commissions.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
and will 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
and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained the information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with
the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors’ report. If,
based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a
Diversified Royalty Corp.
Page 4
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the
auditors’ 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (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 Entity’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 Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial
reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, 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 Entity's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Diversified Royalty Corp.
Page 5
• 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 Entity's ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Entity 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.
• 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.
• Provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
• Determine, from the matters communicated with those charged with governance, those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report is Michael J. Kennedy,
CPA.

DIVERSIFIED ROYALTY CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Diversified Royalty Corp. (“DIV”), formerly BENEV Capital Inc. and prior to that Bennett Environmental Inc., is a company domiciled
in Canada and governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The consolidated financial statements of DIV as at
and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are composed of DIV and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company”). The
head office of the Company is located at 902-510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3A8. The registered office of the Company
is located at the 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1B3. The Company’s common shares are listed on the
Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and traded under the symbol “DIV”.
1. Nature of operations:
The current business of DIV is to acquire royalties from well-managed multi-location businesses and franchisors in North
America (“Royalty Partners”).
On June 19, 2015, the Company indirectly acquired, through SGRS Royalties Limited Partnership (“SGRS LP”) (an entity
controlled by the Company), all of the Canadian and U.S. trademarks and certain other intellectual property rights utilized by
Sutton Group Realty Services Ltd. (“Sutton”) in its residential real estate franchise business (the “SGRS Rights”). The Company
granted Sutton the licence to use the SGRS Rights for a term ending on December 31, 2114 in exchange for a royalty payment
initially equal to $56.25 per agent per month (the “Sutton Royalty Rate”) for the number of agents included in the royalty pool
(the “Sutton Royalty Pool”). Effective July 1, 2020, the Sutton Royalty Rate was increased to $62.105 per agent per month.
On August 19, 2015, the Company indirectly acquired through ML Royalties Limited Partnership (“ML LP”) (an entity controlled
by the Company), the trademarks and certain other intellectual property rights (the “ML Rights”) from Mr. Lube Canada Limited
Partnership (“Mr. Lube”). The Company granted Mr. Lube the licence to use the ML Rights for a term ending on August 19,
2114 in exchange for a royalty payment initially equal to 6.95% of system sales of Mr. Lube locations in the royalty pool (the
“Mr. Lube Royalty Pool”). On May 1, 2018, the Mr. Lube royalty rate on non-tire sales was increased from 6.95% to 7.45%.
On August 25, 2017, the Company indirectly acquired through AM Royalties Limited Partnership (“AM LP”) (a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company), the Canadian AIR MILES trademarks and certain Canadian intellectual property rights
(collectively, the “AIR MILES Rights”) from a subsidiary of Aimia Inc. (“Aimia”). In accordance with the terms of two license
agreements with LoyaltyOne Co. (collectively the “AIR MILES Licenses”) acquired by AM LP as part of acquisition of the AIR
MILES Rights, LoyaltyOne Co. has an exclusive right to use the AIR MILES Rights for the purposes of operating the AIR
MILES reward program in Canada (the “AIR MILES Program”) for an indefinite term in exchange for a royalty payment equal
to 1% of gross billings from the AIR MILES Program.
On May 20, 2019, the Company indirectly acquired through MRM Royalties Limited Partnership (“MRM LP”) (an entity
controlled by the Company), the trademarks and certain other intellectual property rights utilized by Mr. Mikes Restaurants
Corporation (“Mr. Mikes”) in its restaurant business (the “MRM Rights”). The Company granted Mr. Mikes the licence to use
the MRM Rights for a term ending on May 19, 2118 in exchange for a royalty payment initially equal to 4.35% of notional
system sales of Mr. Mikes locations in the royalty pool (the “Mr. Mikes Royalty Pool”).
On November 15, 2019, the Company indirectly acquired through NND Royalties Limited Partnership (“NND LP”) (an entity
that is majority-owned by the Company), the trademarks and certain other intellectual property rights utilized by Nurse Next
Door Professional Homecare Services Inc. (“Nurse Next Door”) in its premium home care business (the “NND Rights”) (note
7). NND LP granted Nurse Next Door the licence to use the NND Rights for a term ending on November 15, 2118 in exchange
for a gross royalty payment (the “Gross Royalty”) equal to the greater of: (i) 6% of gross sales from Nurse Next Door’s
franchises and corporate stores in Canada and the United States and (ii) $4.8 million per year, which grows at a fixed rate of
2.0% per annum. The Company, through its ownership of NND LP Class A units, is entitled to receive a cash distribution of
$4.8 million per year, which grows at a fixed rate of 2.0% per annum (the “DIV Distribution Entitlement”). To the extent the
Gross Royalty is greater than the DIV Distribution Entitlement, Nurse Next Door is entitled to receive the excess amount in the
form of a cash distribution through its ownership of NND LP Class B units.
On February 20, 2020, the Company indirectly acquired through OX Royalties Limited Partnership (“OX LP”) (an entity
controlled by the Company), the trademarks and certain other intellectual property rights utilized by Oxford Learning Centres,
Inc. (“Oxford”) in its pre-school, elementary and secondary school and post-secondary supplemental education business (the
“Oxford Rights”). The Company granted Oxford the licence to use the Oxford Rights for a term ending on February 20, 2119
in exchange for a royalty payment initially equal to 7.67% of the gross sales of Oxford locations in the royalty pool (the “Oxford
Royalty Pool”).

DIVERSIFIED ROYALTY CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
1. Nature of operations (continued):
Substantially all of the Company’s operating revenues are earned from the receipt of royalties and management fees from its
Royalty Partners. Accordingly, the revenues of the Company and its ability to pay dividends to shareholders are dependent on
the ongoing ability of its Royalty Partners to generate cash and pay royalties and management fees to the Company.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The situation remains
dynamic and the ultimate duration and magnitude of the impact on the economy, our business and the respective businesses
of our Royalty Partners (including their respective franchisees) are not known at this time. Governments worldwide, including
the Canadian federal and provincial governments, enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, which
have included, among others, the temporary closure of non-essential businesses (in most jurisdictions), restrictions on
business operations, bans on public gatherings over certain sizes and travel advisories to avoid non-essential travel. These
measures have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, including the businesses of DIV’s Royalty Partners
(including their respective franchisees).
DIV’s Royalty Partners (including their respective franchisees) have had, and are expected to continue to have, significant
interruptions to their respective businesses in the months ahead, including prolonged periods of low system sales on which
certain royalties are based and low revenues on which the Royalty Partner rely to pay royalties to DIV (note 5). Certain
governments have previously eased some of the restrictions put in place to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to a
growing number of COVID-19 cases in recent months, certain governments have re-imposed certain restrictions and added
new restrictions to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, DIV does not know the full extent of the financial impact of such
interruptions going forward, the timeline for restoring normal operations for its Royalty Partners (including their respective
franchisees) or the potential changes in consumer behaviors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the rates of
recovery for DIV’s Royalty Partners will be dependent upon, among other things, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines
for the COVID-19 virus, government responses, rates of economic recovery, precautionary measures taken by consumers and
the rate at which social restrictions will be lifted. Previously experienced improvement trends by certain of DIV’s Royalty
Partners may not continue and may regress, and in certain cases have regressed. Certain government support programs
which have been helpful to DIV’s Royalty Partners, their franchisees and the general population have been terminated or
modified, and those remaining government support programs may be terminated or modified at any time. Following the
termination of such programs, or the reduction of amounts available under such programs, or other modifications, Royalty
Partners and franchisees currently receiving support under those programs may need to find alternative sources of financial
support and may make requests for such support from, among other parties, DIV and its Royalty Partners, as applicable. There
is also a risk that certain Royalty Partner franchise locations that are currently temporarily closed may not reopen, and those
that are open may be required to close again in the future. The ongoing effects of COVID-19 could impact DIV and its Royalty
Partners’ (as well as their respective franchisees’) ability to obtain debt and equity financing, and result in an impairment in the
value of the long-lived assets or investments, or decreases in revenue or the profitability of our ongoing operations.

3. Significant accounting policies:
These annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies described below.
(a) Basis of consolidation:
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DIV, SGRS LP, ML LP, AM LP, MRM LP, NND Holdings
Limited Partnership (“NNDH LP”) and OX LP and the respective general partners. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances on deposit with Canadian chartered banks, and short-term
investments with terms of three months or less on the date of acquisition.
(c) Revenue recognition:
The Company has two revenue streams, royalty income and management fee revenue.
Royalty income: The Company licenses its intellectual property rights to third parties in exchange for royalty payments.
The royalty income is recognized based on the usage or sales that have occurred during the period.
Management fee revenue: The Company provides strategic and other services to certain royalty partners in exchange
for a fixed monthly fee. Management fee is recognized as earned over the term of the agreement.
Royalty income and management fees for Mr. Lube, Sutton and Oxford are usually receivable within 21 days after the
calendar month. Royalty income and management fees for Mr. Mikes are receivable 21 days after a specified four-week
royalty period. Royalty income from the AIR MILES Program is usually receivable within 14 days after the calendar quarter.
(d) Intangible assets:
The intangible assets are recorded at cost, which includes directly attributable acquisition costs, and are adjusted to record
the additions to the respective royalty pools. The intangible assets are not amortized as they have an indefinite life, and
are assessed for impairment as described in note 3(e).
(e) Impairment of intangible assets:
Intangible assets that are not amortized are subject to an annual impairment test or when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For the purpose of measuring recoverable
amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating
units or “CGUs”). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use
(being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the CGU). In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the
intangible asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
A previously recognized impairment loss is assessed at each reporting date for any indicators that the loss has decreased
or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the intangible asset's carrying value does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have existed had the original impairment loss had been recognized.
(f) Dividends to DIV shareholders:
Dividends to the Company’s shareholders are made monthly based upon available cash at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Dividends are recorded when declared and are subject to the Company retaining such reasonable working
capital reserves as may be considered appropriate by the Company.
(g) Earnings per share:
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated
by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net income attributable to
common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for dilutive potential
common shares, which comprise share options and restricted share units.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(h) Employee benefits:
(i) Share options:
The Company measures the compensation cost of share-based option awards to employees at the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the options. The compensation cost of the
options is recognized as share-based compensation expense over the relevant vesting period of the share options.
Forfeitures are estimated and are adjusted if actual forfeitures differ from the original estimate unless forfeitures are
due to market-based vesting conditions. When the equity-settled share options are exercised, share capital is
increased by the sum of the consideration paid and the carrying value of the share options recorded to contributed
surplus.
(ii) Restricted share units:
Restricted share units (“RSUs”) are settled, in accordance with the respective RSU agreements, in common shares
or cash based on the number of vested restricted share units multiplied by the fair market value of the common shares
on the vesting date.
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled RSUs based on the fair value of the underlying shares at the grant
date, and is recorded as share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting
period.
RSUs that have a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations are classified in their entirety as equity-settled.
(j)
Income tax:
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of the previous year.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on
the consolidated statements of financial position and the amounts attributed to the assets and liabilities for tax purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences
relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse
in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse,
based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes
levied by same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will
be realized.
(k) Financial instruments:
Financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics
of their cash flows. At initial recognition, all financial assets classified as amortized cost and fair value through other
comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its
acquisition.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(k) Financial instruments (continued):
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:
Financial assets at amortized cost: A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following
conditions and is not designated as FVTPL: it is held in a business model whose objective is to hold the asset to collect
contractual cash flows and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets within this category are subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses,
impairment losses and gain or loss on de-recognition are recognized in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI: A debt instrument is classified as FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and
is not designated as FVTPL: it is held in a business model whose objective is achieved by collecting contractual cash
flows and the sale of the financial asset and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets within this category
are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses
are recognized in profit or loss. Other gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and
are reclassified to profit or loss on de-recognition.
Equity investments at FVOCI: On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the
Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This
election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Financial assets within this category are subsequently
measured at fair value. Dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or
loss. Other gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”): Financial assets not classified as amortized cost or
FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial instruments. On initial recognition, the Company
may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost
or at FVOCI at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise
arise. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with net gains or losses, including any interest or
dividend income, recognized through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. Once the classification of a financial liability
has been determined, reclassification is not permitted.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost: A financial liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method if it is not designated as FVTPL. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in
profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL: A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a
derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value
and net gains and losses, including any interest expense are recognized in profit or loss. For financial liabilities
classified as FVTPL, changes in credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income, with the remainder of
changes recognized in profit or loss. However, if this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in
profit or loss, the entire change in fair value will be recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis
or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company has elected as an accounting policy choice for non-substantial modifications of variable or fixed rate debt,
if certain criteria are met, to adjust the carrying amount of the financial liability on modification for directly attributable
transaction costs and any consideration paid to or received from the counterparty. The effective interest rate is then
adjusted to amortize the difference between the revised carrying amount and the expected cash flows over the life of the
modified instrument. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. This accounting policy applies to variable or fixed rate
debt that had an insignificant original issue discount that can be prepaid at par, or prepaid with insignificant prepayment
fees, to the extent that modification has the effect of repricing the debt to a market rate of interest.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):
(l)
Impairment of financial assets:
The Company uses an expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment model. The ECL impairment model applies to financial
assets measured at cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments.
The Company has elected to use the lifetime ECL approach. Under this approach, the impairment allowance is recorded
as a result of all possible default events over the expected life of the financial asset. ECLs are a probability-weighted
estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between
the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to
receive) and are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. The Company considers reasonable and
supportable information when assessing the credit risk of a financial asset and in estimating the ECLs, which includes:
Significant financial difficulty of the Company’s counterparty;
Delinquencies in interest or principal payments over 30 days; and
It becomes probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganization.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash
shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows
that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the asset.
(m) Convertible debentures:
The Company accounts for convertible debentures by allocating the proceeds of the debentures, net of financing costs,
between liability and equity based on estimated fair values of the debt and conversion option. The liability component is
valued first and the difference between the proceeds of the convertible debentures and the fair value of the liability
component is assigned to the equity component. Interest expense is recorded as a charge to earnings and is calculated
at an effective rate with the difference between the coupon rate and the effective rate being credited to the debt component
of the convertible debentures (accretion expense) such that, at maturity the debt component is equal to the face value of
the outstanding convertible debentures.
4. Use of estimates and judgments:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(a) Critical judgments:
Consolidation:
In applying the criteria outlined in IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, judgment is required in determining
whether DIV controls SGRS LP, ML LP, MRM LP, NND LP and OX LP. Making this judgment involves taking into
consideration the concepts of power over these entities, exposure and rights to variable returns, and the ability to use
power to direct the relevant activities of these entities to generate economic returns.
Using these criteria, management has determined that DIV ultimately controls SGRS LP, ML LP, MRM LP and OX
LP through its majority ownership of the respective general partners.
Although DIV has 99% ownership over the general partner of NND LP, management has determined that the definition
of control pursuant to IFRS 10 is not met as DIV does not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly
affect the returns of NND LP.

4. Use of estimates and judgments (continued):
(a) Critical judgments (continued):
Control of NND Rights
In determining whether the Company controls an asset, the Company takes into consideration the control model in
IFRS 15, Revenues (“IFRS 15”), and if there is an agreement to repurchase the asset. If an entity has a right to
repurchase the asset, the buyer does not obtain control of the asset because the buyer is limited in its ability to direct
the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the assets even though the buyer may have
physical possession of the asset.
Nurse Next Door has the ability to repurchase the NND Rights from NND LP (the “NND Buy-Out Option”) at any time
after November 15, 2026. Due to the NND Buy-Out Option, in accordance with IFRS 15, NND LP does not have
control over the NND Rights and cannot recognize the NND Rights as an intangible asset on its books. Instead, the
transaction is accounted for as a financing arrangement.
Capitalization of acquisition costs:
At the time of acquisition, the Company considers whether or not it represents a business combination or an asset
acquisition. This requires the Company to make certain judgments as to whether or not the assets acquired include
the inputs, processes and outputs necessary to constitute a business. Under a business combination, acquisition-
related costs are recognized as an expense. When the acquisition does not represent a business combination, it is
accounted as an asset acquisition, where the costs are capitalized to the respective asset. The Company has
determined that the transactions related to the SGRS Rights, ML Rights, AM Rights, MRM Rights and Oxford Rights
were asset acquisitions and the acquisition-related costs were capitalized to the intangible asset.
Fair value of exchangeable partnership units in SGRS LP and OX LP (“Exchangeable Partnership Units”):
The Company does not assign any value to the Exchangeable Partnership Units as they do not currently meet the
relevant criteria for exchange into common shares of DIV (note 8).
(b)
Key estimates and assumptions:
Intangible assets:
The Company carries the intangible assets at cost and are not amortized as they have an indefinite life.
The Company tests intangible assets for impairment annually or when there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. This requires the Company to use a valuation technique, which is dependent on a number of different
assumptions that requires management to exercise judgment, to determine if impairment exists. These assumptions
include the projected sales underlying the royalty payment, as well as the pre-tax discount rate used to determine the
value-in-use. As a result, the estimated cash flows that the intangible assets are expected to generate could differ
materially from actual results.
Valuation of the Investment in NND LP:
The Company’s investment in NND LP is a financial instrument recorded at fair value. The valuation of NND LP
includes an estimate of the discounted cash flows receivable from Nurse Next Door and takes into consideration a
number of different variables that requires management to exercise judgment. These judgments include the discount
rate used to calculate the fair value of the contractual cash flows receivable, the likelihood of Nurse Next Door
exercising the NND Buy-Out Option and the likelihood of Nurse Next Door exercising its right to exchange NND LP
Class B units for DIV shares (or cash at DIV’s option), subject to meeting certain criteria (the “NND Exchange
Mechanism”). As a result, the estimated cash flows that the investment in NND LP are expected to generate could
differ materially from actual results.

Pursuant to the terms of the licence and royalty agreement dated August 19, 2015 (the “Mr. Lube Licence and Royalty
Agreement”), the royalty paid by Mr. Lube to ML LP is calculated by multiplying the system sales of locations within the
Mr. Lube Royalty Pool by an agreed royalty fee (the “Mr. Lube Royalty Rate”). In addition, ML LP is entitled to receive a
make-whole payment in the event that a Mr. Lube location in the ML Royalty Pool is permanently closed during the royalty
payment period. The make-whole payment is based on the lost system sales multiplied by the Mr. Lube Royalty Rate. Mr.
Lube will also, subject to meeting certain performance criteria, be provided opportunities to increase the Mr. Lube Royalty
Rate in four, 0.5% increments (note 8(a)).
In September 2017, Mr. Lube launched a new tire program. In connection with this incremental line of business, on October
20, 2017, ML LP amended its licence and royalty agreement (the “ML LRA Amendment”) with Mr. Lube in respect of this
new retail tire program. Mr. Lube is charging a lower royalty fee and waived certain other fees payable by Mr. Lube
franchisees on the sale of tires and rims to account for the lower margins on these hard goods. Pursuant to the ML LRA
Amendment, ML LP has agreed to charge an effective royalty rate payable on system sales derived from the sale of tires
and rims of 2.5% (compared to 6.95% on all other system sales) for the locations currently in the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool.
The ML LRA Amendment is effective from September 18, 2017.
Effective May 1, 2019, the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool was adjusted to include the royalties from four new Mr. Lube locations.
With the adjustment for these four new locations, the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool had 122 locations effective May 1, 2019 (note
8(a)). There were no adjustments to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool during the year ended December 31, 2020.
(b) AIR MILES:
The royalty paid by LoyaltyOne Co. to AM LP is equal to 1% of the gross billings from the AIR MILES Program in
accordance with the terms of the AIR MILES Licenses.
(c) Sutton:
Pursuant to the terms of the licence and royalty agreement dated June 19, 2015 (the “Sutton Licence and Royalty
Agreement”), the royalty paid by Sutton to SGRS LP is calculated by multiplying a determined number of agents in the
Sutton Royalty Pool by the Sutton Royalty Rate. Sutton has the ability, subject to meeting certain performance criteria, to
increase the amount of the annual royalty payable to the Company by increasing the number of agents in the Sutton
Royalty Pool. The number of agents in the Sutton Royalty Pool may be increased annually, and will never be decreased.
The Sutton Royalty Rate will automatically increase by 2% each July 1st beginning in 2016. Sutton will also have the ability,
subject to meeting certain performance criteria, to increase the Sutton Royalty Rate in 10.0% increments four times during
the life of the royalty (note 8(c)).
With the dramatic slow-down of residential real estate activity due to COVID-19 in the spring of 2020, DIV waived 50% of
Sutton’s March 2020 royalty and management fees that were due in April 2020. In addition, DIV has waived 75% of
Sutton’s April and May 2020 royalty and management fees that were due in May and June 2020, respectively. From June
2020 to December 2020, 100% of the royalty and management fees were collected from Sutton.
Effective July 1, 2020, the monthly Sutton Royalty Rate increased from $60.887 per agent to $62.105 per agent,
representing the 2.0% annual contractual increase in the Sutton Royalty Rate for 2020. Effective July 1, 2019, the monthly
Sutton Royalty Rate increased from $59.693 per agent to $60.887 per agent, representing the 2.0% annual contractual
increase in the Sutton Royalty Rate for 2019.

(d) Mr. Mikes:
Pursuant to the term of the licence and royalty agreement between Mr. Mikes and MRM LP dated May 20, 2019 (the “Mr.
Mikes Licence and Royalty Agreement”), the royalty paid by Mr. Mikes to MRM LP is calculated by multiplying the notional
system sales of restaurants in the Mr. Mikes Royalty Pool by an agreed royalty rate, which is initially set at 4.35%.
On March 18, 2020, in response to the evolving circumstances relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Mr. Mikes
restaurants were temporarily closed for in-restaurant dining. In early June, certain Mr. Mikes restaurants re-opened for in-
restaurant or patio dining at reduced capacity. For the year ended December 31, 2020, DIV collected $1.8 million from Mr.
Mikes, which reflects the royalty relief granted to Mr. Mikes in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. DIV continues to
discuss with its lender and Mr. Mikes about whether additional royalty relief is required for subsequent periods.
(e) Oxford:
Pursuant to the terms of the licence and royalty agreement between Oxford and OX LP dated February 20, 2020 (the “OX
Licence and Royalty Agreement”), the royalty paid by Oxford to OX LP is calculated by multiplying the gross sales of the
locations in the Oxford Royalty Pool by a royalty rate equal to 7.67%.

Investment in NND LP:
On November 15, 2019, DIV subscribed to NND LP Class A units for a cash purchase price of $52.0 million, and Nurse Next
Door subscribed to NND LP Class B units for an agreed value of $23.0 million. On November 15, 2019, NND LP licensed the
NND Rights to Nurse Next Door for 99 years in exchange for a Gross Royalty equal to the greater of: (i) 6% of gross sales
from Nurse Next Door’s franchises and corporate stores in Canada and the United States and (ii) $4.8 million per year, which
increases at a fixed rate of 2.0% per annum. Subject to certain royalty coverage tests being met, Nurse Next Door is able to
sell additional royalties to NND LP commencing in February 1, 2021. In consideration for the incremental royalty, Nurse Next
Door will be entitled, subject to TSX approval, to indirectly exchange its NND LP Class B Units for common shares of DIV, or
cash at DIV’s election.
The Company, through its ownership of NND LP Class A units, is entitled to receive a cash distribution of $4.8 million per year,
which grows at a fixed rate of 2.0% per annum (the “DIV Distribution Entitlement”). To the extent the Gross Royalty is greater
than the DIV Distribution Entitlement, Nurse Next Door is entitled to receive the excess amount in the form of a cash distribution
through its ownership of NND LP Class B units. Under the terms of the governance agreement dated November 15, 2019
between DIV, Nurse Next Door and other parties (the “NND Governance Agreement”), Nurse Next Door has the right at any
time after November 15, 2026 to buy back the NND Rights at a price determined in accordance with a formula outlined in the
NND Governance Agreement upon any exercise of such right.

Investment in NND LP (continued):
Due to the NND Buy-Out Option, NND LP does not have control (per IFRS 15) over the NND Rights and cannot recognize the
NND Rights as an intangible asset on its books. Instead, the transaction is accounted for as a financing arrangement, and the
Company’s investment in NND LP is a financial instrument measured at fair value. The cash distributions received by the
Company from NND LP are recorded as a reduction in its investment in NND LP. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the
DIV Distribution Entitlement was $4.8 million. For the period from November 15, 2019 to December 31, 2019, the DIV
Distribution Entitlement was $0.6 million.
The valuation of the financial instrument includes an estimate of the discounted cash flow receivable from Nurse Next Door
and takes into consideration the likelihood of Nurse Next Door exercising the NND Buy-Out Option and the NND Exchange
Mechanism. The NND Buy-Out Option and NND Exchange Mechanism are embedded derivatives with a negligible value at
December 31, 2020 and 2019. The contractual cash flows receivable from Nurse Next Door were discounted at a rate of 14.0%
(2019 - 11.9%). The total fair value of NND LP was $43.6 million (2019 - $51.8 million) and a fair value decrease of $3.6 million
was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020. A one percentage point increase in the discount rate would decrease
the fair value by $3.2 million. A one percentage point decrease in the discount rate would increase the fair value by $3.7 million.
At December 31, 2019, DIV had a promissory note receivable of $3.8 million from NND LP, which was repaid during the year
ended December 31, 2020 upon NND LP’s receipt of the GST refund from the CRA.

Upon closing the Mr. Lube Acquisition, ML LP issued 100,000,000 Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F units
to Mr. Lube. These units will become exchangeable into common shares of the Company through the exchange agreement
dated August 19, 2015 among Mr. Lube, ML Royalties GP Inc. and the Company (the “Mr. Lube Exchange Agreement”)
upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. The Class B LP units of ML LP become exchangeable into common
shares of the Company upon adding Mr. Lube locations to the ML Royalty Pool. The Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class
F LP units become exchangeable into common shares of the Company on increases in the ML Royalty Rate of 0.5%
increments four times during the life of the royalty, in accordance with the partnership agreement dated August 19, 2015
among Mr. Lube, the Company, and ML Royalties GP Inc.
In addition to the royalty, Mr. Lube will pay the Company a management fee of approximately $0.2 million per year for
strategic and other services. The management fee will be increased at a rate of 2.0% per annum over the term of the Mr.
Lube Licence and Royalty Agreement.

Intangible assets (continued):
(a) ML Rights (continued):
Annually on May 1, the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool may be adjusted, subject to meeting certain criteria, to include gross sales
from new Mr. Lube locations less gross sales from Mr. Lube locations that were permanently closed during the preceding
calendar year. In return for adding these net sales to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool, Mr. Lube receives the right to indirectly
acquire common shares of the Company through the exchange of Class B LP Units of ML LP (the “ML Additional
Entitlement”). The ML Additional Entitlement is determined based on the estimated net tax-adjusted royalty revenue added
to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool (adjusted by a 20% discount for locations that were open for business prior to June 30, 2019,
or a 7.5% discount for all other additions), divided by the yield of the Company’s shares, divided by the weighted average
share price of the Company’s shares over the 20 days preceding March 31. Mr. Lube receives 80% of the estimated ML
Additional Entitlement initially, with the balance received on May 1 of the subsequent year when the actual full year
performance of the new locations is known with certainty. The ML Additional Entitlement is automatically exchanged by
Mr. Lube into common shares of DIV, or settled in cash at DIV’s option, pursuant to the Mr. Lube Exchange Agreement.
On November 9, 2020, DIV and Mr. Lube entered into an amendment to the amended and restated limited partnership
agreement of ML LP (the “LP Agreement”) to confirm the terms on which (i) the Mr. Lube royalty rate will be increased by
0.5% from 7.45% to 7.95% effective May 1, 2021, and (ii) the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool will be adjusted to include royalties
from 13 additional Mr. Lube locations effective May 1, 2021.
The increase of the Mr. Lube royalty rate from 7.45% to 7.95% on non-tire sales on May 1, 2021 represents the second
such royalty rate increase. The royalty rate on tire sales remains unchanged at 2.50%. The LP Amendment provides that
the consideration payable to Mr. Lube for the Mr. Lube royalty rate increase on May 1, 2021 is to be calculated based on
a 7.25x multiple of the incremental annual royalty revenue, which will be paid in cash. The actual amount of the
consideration payable for the increase to the Mr. Lube royalty rate has not yet been determined and will be calculated in
accordance with the LP Amendment.
The LP Amendment also provides that the consideration payable to Mr. Lube for the addition of the 13 locations to the Mr.
Lube Royalty Pool on May 1, 2021 is to be calculated based on a 7.25x multiple of the incremental annual royalty revenue
to be added to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool from such additions, which consideration will be paid in cash. The actual amount
of the consideration payable for the addition of the 13 Mr. Lube locations to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool has not yet been
determined and will be calculated in accordance with the LP Amendment.
The initial consideration payable to Mr. Lube on May 1, 2021 for the estimated net additional royalty revenue from the 13
Mr. Lube locations to be added to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool will represent 80% of the total estimated consideration. The
remaining consideration payable for the net additional royalty revenue related to 7 of the 13 locations will be paid to Mr.
Lube on May 1, 2022 and will be adjusted to reflect the actual system sales of these locations for the year ending
December 31, 2021. The remaining consideration payable for the net additional royalty revenue related to 6 of the 13
locations will be paid to Mr. Lube on May 1, 2023 and will be adjusted to reflect the actual system sales of these locations
for the year ending December 31, 2022.
On May 1, 2019, the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool was adjusted to include the royalties from four new Mr. Lube locations. The
initial consideration paid to Mr. Lube for the estimated additional royalty revenue was $2.7 million, representing 80% of
the total estimated consideration of $3.4 million. In exchange for the addition to the Mr. Lube Royalty Pool, Mr. Lube
received the right to exchange Class B LP units of ML LP for common shares of DIV. DIV elected to pay the initial
consideration to Mr. Lube in cash.
Based on the actual system sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 of the four new locations added to the Mr. Lube
Royalty Pool, Mr. Lube is entitled to exchange 357,716 Class B units of ML LP (the “Exchangeable ML Units”) for DIV
shares (or cash at DIV’s option). On April 28, 2020, Mr. Lube and DIV entered into an agreement to defer the settlement
of the Exchangeable ML Units to a subsequent adjustment date being no earlier than May 1, 2021. At December 31, 2020,
the remaining consideration payable to Mr. Lube was estimated to be $0.9 million and was recorded as a liability in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The actual consideration payable on May 1, 2021 is equal to the lower of: (i)
$3.1822 per share and (ii) the weighted average share price of the Company’s shares over the 20 trading days ending on
April 26, 2021, the fifth trading day before May 1, 2021.

(b) AIR MILES Rights:
In accordance with the terms of the AIR MILES Licenses, AM LP will receive an aggregate royalty, payable quarterly,
equal to 1% of gross billings from the AIR MILES Program in Canada in perpetuity.
(c) SGRS Rights:
SGRS LP licensed the SGRS Rights back to Sutton for 99 years in exchange for a royalty payment equal to the Sutton
Royalty Pool multiplied by the Sutton Royalty Rate (note 5(c)).
Upon closing the Sutton Acquisition, SGRS LP issued 100,000,000 Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E LP
units to Sutton. These units will become exchangeable into common shares of the Company through the exchange
agreement dated June 19, 2015 among Sutton, SGRS Royalties GP Inc. and the Company upon the satisfaction of certain
performance criteria. The Class A LP Units become exchangeable into common shares of the Company on the contribution
of additional agents into the Sutton Royalty Pool. The Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E LP units become
exchangeable into common shares of the Company on increases in the Sutton Royalty Rate of 10.0% increments four
times during the life of the royalty, in accordance with the partnership agreement dated June 19, 2015 among Sutton, the
Company, and SGRS Royalties GP Inc. (the “Sutton Exchange Agreement”).
In addition to the royalty, Sutton will pay the Company a management fee of approximately $0.1 million per year for
strategic and other services. The management fee will be increased by 10.0% every five years.
Annually on July 1, the Sutton Royalty Pool may be adjusted, subject to meeting certain performance criteria, to increase
the number of agents. In return for increasing the number of agents in the Sutton Royalty Pool, Sutton receives the right
to indirectly acquire common shares of the Company through the exchange of Class A LP Units of SGRS LP (the “SGRS
Additional Entitlement”). The SGRS Additional Entitlement is determined based on 92.5% of the estimated net tax-adjusted
royalty revenue added to the Sutton Royalty Pool, divided by the yield of the Company’s shares, divided by the weighted
average share price of the Company’s shares over the 20 days preceding May 31. The SGRS Additional Entitlement is
automatically exchanged by Sutton into common shares of DIV, or settled in cash at DIV’s option, pursuant to the Sutton
Exchange Agreement.
(d) MRM Rights:
On May 20, 2019, the Company acquired, through MRM LP, the MRM Rights for $43.2 million. The purchase price was
satisfied by a cash payment of $37.1 million, the issuance of 1,000,000,000 Class B and Class C units of MRM LP having
an agreed value of $1.15 million to Mr. Mikes, and a promissory note of $4.95 million, payable subject to certain conditions
being met. The cash payment was financed by cash on hand of $37.1 million, which was subsequently partially refinanced
by the issuance of $10.3 million of debt (note 9(b)). In addition, $0.2 million in costs incurred for the acquisition of the MRM
Rights were capitalized as part of the purchase.
The promissory note is payable on the date Mr. Mikes has opened five new locations, subject to Mr. Mikes meeting the
required royalty coverage test. Once these five locations are open and Mr. Mikes has met the required royalty coverage
test, these locations will be added to the Mr. Mikes Royalty Pool. The promissory note was initially recorded at a fair value
and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. During the year ended December
31, 2020, due to a change in the expected timing of the settlement of the promissory note, a $1.7 million gain was recorded
in other finance income (note 17).
The Class B and Class C units are exchangeable into common shares of the Company through certain agreements among
Mr. Mikes, MRM Royalties GP Inc. and the Company, in each case, upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria and
the approval of the TSX. The Class B units become exchangeable into common shares of the Company upon adding
eligible Mr. Mikes locations to the MRM Royalty Pool (other than the five locations subject to the promissory note). The
Class C units become exchangeable into common shares of the Company upon increases in the MRM Royalty Rate,
which may be done in increments of 0.25% six times during the life of the royalty, in accordance with the partnership
agreement dated May 20, 2019 among Mr. Mikes, the Company and MRM Royalties GP Inc. On May 20, 2019, the total
number of exchangeable Class B and Class C units was 355,032, and represents a retained interest in MRM LP (the
“Initial Retained Interest”) of approximately 4.1%. The Initial Retained Interest must be held in perpetuity and cannot be
exchanged by Mr. Mikes for common shares of DIV without DIV’s prior written approval and the approval of the TSX.

(d) MRM Rights:
Annually on April 1, the Mr. Mikes Royalty Pool may be adjusted, subject to meeting certain criteria, to include gross sales
from new Mr. Mikes restaurants less gross sales from Mr. Mikes restaurants that were permanently closed during the
preceding calendar year. In return for adding these net sales to the Mr. Mikes Royalty Pool, Mr. Mikes receives the right
to indirectly acquire common shares of the Company through the exchange of Class B LP units of MRM LP (the “MRM
Additional Entitlement”). The MRM Additional Entitlement is determined based on the estimated net-tax-adjusted royalty
revenue added to the MRM Royalty Pool (adjusted by a 10% discount for restaurants that were open for business prior to
December 31, 2024, or a 7.5% discount for all other locations), divided by the yield of the Company’s shares, divided by
the weighted average share price of the Company’s shares of the 20 trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding
April 1. Mr. Mikes receives 80% of the estimated MRM Additional Entitlement initially, with the balance received on April
1 of the subsequent year when the actual full year performance of the new locations is known with certainty. The MRM
Additional Entitlement is exchanged by Mr. Mikes into common shares of DIV, or settled in cash at DIV’s option, pursuant
to the Mr. Mikes Exchange Agreement.
In addition to the royalty, Mr. Mikes will pay the Company a management fee of approximately $0.04 million per year for
strategic and other services. The management fee will be increased at a rate of 2.5% per annum over the term of the Mr.
Mikes Licence and Royalty Agreement.
(e) Oxford Rights:
On February 20, 2020, the Company indirectly acquired, through OX LP, the Oxford Rights for a purchase price of $44.0
million (the “Purchase Price”), plus a retained interest provided to Oxford through the issuance of 10,493 Ordinary LP
units, 100,000,000 Class B, 100,000,000 Class C, 100,000,000 Class D, 100,000,000 Class E, 100,000,000 Class F,
100,000,000 Class G, and 100,000,000 Class H limited partner units of OX LP having an agreed value of approximately
$33,000.
The cash Purchase Price of $44.0 million was funded with $37.0 million drawn from DIV’s Acquisition Facility and DIV’s
cash on hand following DIV’s drawdown of the remaining $7.0 million of available capacity under the NNDH LP term loan
facility (note 9(b)). The refundable Goods and Services Tax of $2.2 million payable by OX LP on the Purchase Price and
estimated transaction costs were funded with a further $2.7 million drawn from the available capacity under the Acquisition
Facility. The Acquisition Facility was subsequently partially repaid in cash using funds received from the issuance of equity
(note 14) and the issuance of $9.0 million of debt (note 9(b)).
The Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H units are exchangeable into common shares of
the Company through the exchange agreement dated February 20, 2020 among Oxford, OX Royalties GP Inc. and the
Company (the “Oxford Exchange Agreement”) upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria.
Annually on May 1, the Oxford Royalty Pool may be adjusted, subject to meeting certain criteria, to include gross sales
from new Oxford locations less gross sales from Oxford locations that were permanently closed during the preceding
calendar year. In return for adding these net sales to the Oxford Royalty Pool, Oxford receives the right to indirectly acquire
common shares of the Company through the exchange of Class B units of OX LP (the “OX Additional Entitlement”). The
OX Additional Entitlement is determined based on the estimated net tax-adjusted royalty revenue added to the Oxford
Royalty Pool (adjusted by a 10% discount for locations that were open for business prior to December 31, 2023, or a 7.5%
discount for all other additions), divided by the yield of the Company’s common shares. Oxford receives 80% of the
estimated OX Additional Entitlement initially, with the balance received on May 1 of the subsequent year when the actual
full year performance of the new locations is known with certainty. The OX Additional Entitlement is automatically
exchanged by Oxford into common shares of DIV, or settled in cash at DIV’s option, pursuant to the Oxford Exchange
Agreement.

(f)
Impairment assessment:
The Company tests the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment annually, or when there is an indication that
an asset may be impaired. Impairment exists if the carrying value of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is greater than its
recoverable amount. As at March 31, 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, the Company performed an impairment
assessment on the MRM Rights, ML Rights, SGRS Rights and AIR MILES Rights. In addition, as at June 30, 2020, the
Company performed an impairment assessment on the Oxford Rights. There were no impairment indicators identified at
September 30, 2020, and no impairment assessment was performed. The Company performed its annual impairment test
on its indefinite life intangible assets as at December 31, 2020. The Company has used the value in use method to
determine the recoverable amount for all impairment testing performed during the year ended December 31, 2020. The
estimates of future cash flows require a number of key assumptions about future business performance. These
assumptions and estimates are based on the relevant business’ historical experience, economic trends, as well as past
and ongoing communications with relevant stakeholders of the Company. The expected future cash flows are based on
the projected sales underlying the royalty payment over a five year period, with a terminal growth rate applied on the
expected cash flows thereafter to reflect the indefinite life of the intangible assets. However, these forecasted cash flows
are based on current and anticipated market conditions, which are inherently uncertain due to the evolving impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy is constantly changing in an unpredictable
manner and presents many variables and contingencies for modeling. In future periods, the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic may have a material impact on the recoverable amount of the Company’s CGUs. The following table outlines
the pre-tax discount rate and the terminal value growth rate used in calculating the recoverable amount for each CGU
tested for impairment as at December 31, 2020.
December 31, 2020

12.3%
0.5%
14.7%
2.0%
12.5%
2.0%
11.9%
2.0%
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the pre-tax discount rate had a range from 10.7% to 14.7%, and the terminal
value growth rate had a range from 0.5% to 2.0%.
Although DIV is entitled to a fixed royalty payment from Mr. Mikes, the estimated future cash flows used to determine the
recoverable amount reflect management’s best estimates of what the Company can expect to collect from Mr. Mikes in
light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result are subject to estimation uncertainty. Mr. Mikes was generating
minimal revenue and advised DIV that they were unable to pay its fixed royalty payments to DIV commencing with the
February 24, 2020 to March 22, 2020 period. DIV has provided royalty relief from this period onward and is in discussions
with its lenders and Mr. Mikes about whether additional royalty relief is required for subsequent periods. In addition, as in-
restaurant dining resumes, a slow recovery and constrained cash flow is likely. It is possible that underperformance to
these projections could occur if customer traffic and spending are lower than expected or if restaurants close for in-
restaurant dining again.

(f)
Impairment assessment (continued):
Oxford continues to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in reduced capacity for in-centre
services and the temporary closure of in-person tutoring at various locations. The royalty currently generated by Oxford is
less than the original estimates when the acquisition of the OX Rights were completed in February 2020. In addition, there
is significant uncertainty surrounding the timing of the recovery of Oxford’s operations to pre-COVID levels.
Based on the assessment performed, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $19.8 million in connection with the
MRM Rights and an impairment loss of $6.1 million in connection with the OX Rights. The Company also considers other
reasonably possible scenarios where projected sales underlying the royalty payment is less than expected, along with
other reasonably possible higher discount rates to determine whether the intangible assets would be impaired under those
scenarios. As the carrying value of the SGRS Rights, OX Rights and MRM Rights approximate the estimated recoverable
amount, a subsequent change in any key assumption utilized in the estimate of future cash flows may result in an
impairment.
9. Borrowings:
(a) Acquisition facility:
On December 5, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a Canadian chartered bank for a $50.0 million
undrawn senior secured credit facility (the “Acquisition Facility”). The Acquisition Facility matures on November 30, 2022
and each draw is interest only for the first six months and then amortizes over 60 months. As at December 31, 2020 and
2019, the Acquisition Facility was undrawn. During the year ended December 31, 2019, financing costs of $0.4 million
were recorded within prepaid expenses and other, and are being amortized over the term of the Acquisition Facility using
the effective interest rate method.

Rights and the royalties payable by Mr. Lube under the Mr. Lube Licence and Royalty Agreement.
AM LP has a credit agreement that consists of a non-amortizing $17.4 million term loan facility and $3.0 million demand
operating facility from a Canadian chartered bank. The AM LP term loan and line of credit are secured by the AIR MILES
Rights and the royalties payable by LoyaltyOne Co. under the AIR MILES Licenses.
SGRS LP has a credit agreement that consists of a non-amortizing $6.3 million term loan and a $0.5 million demand
operating facility from a Canadian chartered bank. The SGRS LP term loan and line of credit are secured by the SGRS
Rights and the royalties payable by Sutton under the Sutton Licence and Royalty Agreement.
On June 24, 2019, MRM LP entered into a credit agreement with a Canadian chartered bank that consists of a non-
amortizing $10.3 million term loan and a $0.5 million line of credit. The MRM LP term loan and line of credit are secured
by the MRM Rights and the royalties payable by Mr. Mikes under the Mr. Mikes Licence and Royalty Agreement.
On November 15, 2019 NNDH LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DIV, entered into a credit agreement with a Canadian
chartered bank that consists of a non-amortizing $14.5 million term loan, of which $7.5 million was drawn at December
31, 2019. The NNDH LP term loan is secured by the NND Rights and the royalties payable by Nurse Next Door.
On April 27, 2020, OX LP entered into a credit agreement with a Canadian chartered bank that consists of a non-amortizing
$9.0 million term loan and a $0.5 million line of credit. The OX LP term loan and line of credit are secured by the OX Rights
and the royalties payable by Oxford under the Oxford Licence and Royalty Agreement.
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its Acquisition
Facility, term loan facilities and operating lines of credit. Prior to December 31, 2020, the Company negotiated a covenant
amendment to the MRM LP credit facility, which includes a suspension to its financial covenants for the quarter ended
December 31, 2020. If MRM LP did not enter into a covenant amendment for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, MRM LP
would have been in breach of its financial covenants. DIV continues to closely monitor the results of its royalty partners and is
in regular discussions with its lending partners about the impact of COVID-19 on its business including covenant relief, which
may be required in the months ahead dependent on the future results of several of DIV’s royalty partners.

10. Convertible debentures:
On November 7, 2017, the Company issued convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) for an aggregate
principal amount of $57.5 million at a price of $1,000 per Debenture. The Debentures mature on December 31, 2022 and bear
interest at an annual rate of 5.25% payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of December and June in each year. At
the holder’s option, the Debentures may be converted into common shares of the Company at any time prior to the earlier of:
(i) the last business day immediately preceding December 31, 2022; or (ii) the date specified by the Company for redemption
of the Debentures. The conversion price will be $4.55 per common share (the “Conversion Price), subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances.
The Debentures are not redeemable prior to January 1, 2021, except upon the satisfaction of certain conditions after a change
of control has occurred. On or after January 1, 2021 and prior to December 31, 2021, the Debentures may be redeemed in
whole or in part from time to time at DIV’s option, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the common
shares on the TSX during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which the
notice of the redemption is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. On or after December 31, 2021 and prior to
the maturity date, DIV may, at its option, redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time at par plus accrued and
unpaid interest. On redemption or at maturity, the Company will repay the indebtedness of the Debentures by paying an amount
equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
The Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to repay the principal amount of the convertible debentures,
which are to be redeemed or which have matured, by issuing shares to the holders of the convertible debentures. The number
of shares to be issued will be determined by dividing $1,000 of principal amount of the convertible debentures by 95% of the
then current market price on the day preceding the date fixed for redemption or the maturity date.
On initial recognition, the Company valued the liability component at $53.2 million and the equity component at $4.3 million. In
addition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $2.8 million, of which $2.6 million was allocated to the liability component
and $0.2 million was allocated to the equity component. The net amount recognized as the equity component of the Debentures
was $2.9 million, after deferred taxes of $1.2 million and transaction costs of $0.2 million.

11. Interest rate swaps:
The Company has interest rate swap agreements that entitle the Company to receive interest at floating rates and effectively
pay interest at fixed rates for a portion of its term loan facilities.
The interest rate swaps are re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with fair values calculated as the
present value of contractual cash flows based on quoted forward curves and discount rates incorporating the applicable yield
curve. The following table summarizes the interest rate swap agreements the Company has entered into as of December 31,

12. Exchangeable MRM Units:
Mr. Mikes is entitled to receive distributions from MRM LP on the Initial Retained Interest on a pro rata basis with the limited
partnership units of MRM LP held by DIV. The Exchangeable MRM Units are recorded as a liability and measured at fair value.
The distributions issued by MRM LP to Mr. Mikes are recorded as an expense on the Company’s income statement. During
the year ended December 31, 2020, MRM LP issued distributions of $0.03 million to Mr. Mikes (2019 - $0.06 million).
The fair value of the Exchangeable MRM Units is determined at the end of each period by multiplying the number of
Exchangeable MRM Units held by Mr. Mikes at the end of the period by the closing price of DIV shares on the last business
day of the period. As at December 31, 2020, the Exchangeable MRM Units were valued at $0.8 million based on the DIV
closing share price of $2.38 at period end (2019 - $3.14), multiplied by the total number of Exchangeable MRM Units of
355,032.

The deferred tax liability as at December 31, 2020 is largely associated with the temporary differences on the Company’s
intangible assets, which have an undepreciated capital cost allowance of approximately $211.5 million (2019 - $181.0 million).
In addition, pursuant to NND LP’s limited partnership agreement dated November 15, 2019, its undepreciated capital cost
allowance of approximately $49.0 million at December 31, 2020 (2019 - $51.5 million) is allocated to the Company for tax
purposes.

14. Share capital:
As at December 31, 2020, the authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares.
On March 5, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 10,810,000 common shares, including 1,410,000 common
shares pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option, at a price of $3.20 per common share, for gross proceeds of
$34.6 million. After deducting issuance costs of $2.1 million, net proceeds were $32.5 million. The deferred tax impact of $0.6
million on the share issue costs was recognized within share capital.
The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that allows eligible holders of the Company’s common shares to
reinvest some or all cash dividends paid in respect of their common shares in additional common shares of the Company. At
the Company’s election, these additional common shares may be issued from treasury or purchased on the open market. If
the Company elects to issue common shares from treasury, the common shares will be purchased under the DRIP at a 3%
discount to the volume weighted average of the closing price for the common shares on the TSX for the five trading days
immediately preceding the relevant dividend payment date. The Company may, from time to time, change or eliminate the
discount applicable to common shares issued from treasury. The Company temporarily suspended the DRIP, starting with the
dividend payable to shareholders in respect of the month of April 2020. Effective with the January 2021 monthly dividend, the
Board approved the reinstatement of the DRIP.
On June 11, 2019, the Company held an Annual and Special Meeting where shareholders approved a special resolution to
reduce the stated capital to $160.0 million. This approval resulted in a reduction of share capital of $26.4 million, and a
combined increase of contributed surplus and retained earnings of $26.4 million.
15. Share-based compensation:
(a) Restricted share units:
The Company has a long-term incentive plan (the “Plan”) available to both employees and non-employees as a form of
retention and incentive compensation. The maximum number of common shares issued under the Plan is 10% of the
issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of the grant.
Under the Plan, the Company can issue RSUs whereby each RSU is equal in value to one common share of the Company
and is entitled to dividends that would arise thereon if it was an issued and outstanding common share. The notional
dividends are recorded as additional issuance of RSUs during the life of the RSU. Currently, all the outstanding RSUs will
be settled in common shares, unless the RSU holder elects to settle a portion of the RSUs in cash to pay the applicable
withholding taxes.
The number of RSUs outstanding is as follows:

18. Financial instruments:
The Company must classify fair value measurements according to a hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used
in performing such measurements. The Company’s fair value hierarchy comprises the following levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active
markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an
ongoing basis.
Level 2 – pricing inputs are other than quoted in active markets included in Level 1. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or
indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3 – valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable data.
The carrying value of current financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The
carrying value of the long-term bank loans approximates their fair value as these facilities bear interest at floating market
interest rates. The fair value of the convertible debentures of $57.1 million is measured using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of
the Exchangeable MRM Units, Exchangeable ML Units and the interest rate swap liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs.
The fair value of the investment in NND LP is measured using Level 3 inputs (note 7).
The following table presents the carrying amounts of each category of financial assets and liabilities:
Assets carried at amortized cost:
Cash and cash equivalents
Royalties and management fees receivable
Amounts receivable
Related party receivable
Assets carried at fair value:

19. Financial risk management:
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk,
currency risk and interest rate risk. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks,
the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of
capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training
and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all
employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Board of Directors has responsibility for the oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Board of
Directors has mandated the Audit Committee to review how management monitors compliance of the Company’s risk
management policies and procedures and review the adequacy of the risk management policies and procedures.
(a) Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations. Credit risk is associated with the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, royalties and
management fees receivable, amounts receivable and investment in NND LP.
Credit risk on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are mitigated by holding these amounts with a Canadian
chartered bank of high creditworthiness. Credit risk on the royalties and management fees receivable and the investment
in NND LP is monitored through regular review of the operating and financing activities of the Company’s Royalty Partners.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents

19. Financial risk management (continued):
(b) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk
is to monitor consolidated cash flow to ensure that there will always be sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. In
addition, the Company manages its liquidity risk by preparing rolling cash flow forecasts, taking into consideration various
scenarios and assumptions, monitoring the business operations of its royalty partners, and monitoring compliance with
the terms of financing arrangements. Given the economic uncertainty facing DIV and its royalty partners as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Company decreased the monthly dividend from $0.01958 per share to $0.01667 per share
effective with the dividend declared in the month of April 2020. The Board believes the reduction of the monthly dividend
is a prudent measure to preserve capital and maintain liquidity in the current market environment.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $9.2 million (2019 - $3.0 million)
and positive working capital of $10.2 million (2019 - $9.3 million). Management expects to refinance the non-amortizing
loans as they become due, and has sufficient cash resources to settle other contractual liabilities as they become payable.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the
impact of netting agreements.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly

(c) Currency risk:
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The
Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date is described below:

19. Financial risk management (continued):
(d) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market interest rates.
The Company has long-term bank loans that are subject to floating interest rates. As at December 31, 2020, the interest
rate related to long-term bank loans is mitigated by interest rate swap arrangements on $78.9 million of $99.1 million of
the Company’s term loan facilities. As at December 31, 2019, interest rate risk is mitigated by interest rate swap
arrangements that fix the interest rates on $59.9 million of $83.1 million of the Company’s term loan facilities. Based on
the balance outstanding on December 31, 2020, a one percentage point increase (decrease) in the interest rate would
increase (decrease) interest expense by $0.2 million. Based on the balance outstanding on December 31, 2019, a one
percentage point increase (decrease) in the interest rate would increase (decrease) interest expense by a nominal amount.
The investment in NND LP is a financial asset measured at fair value, which will fluctuate because of changes in interest
rates. As at December 31, 2020, the investment in NND LP was valued at $43.6 million and a fair value loss of $3.6 million
was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020. As at December 31, 2019, the investment in NND LP was valued
at $51.8 million and a nominal fair value increase was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019.
(e) Capital management:
The Company’s objective is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to
develop the business.
Management defines capital as the Company’s total shareholders’ equity, Acquisition Facility, long-term bank loans and
convertible debentures. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management.
The Board of Directors reviews the capital structure on a quarterly basis.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, warrants, or debt, draw on its
operating line of credit, purchase shares for cancellation pursuant to normal course issuer bids, temporarily suspend the
DRIP, reduce the monthly dividend or reduce debt.
20. Related party transactions:
In addition to information disclosed elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements, the Company had the following
related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:
Key management personnel of the Company includes Members of the Board of Directors, the President and CEO, and CFO.
