TO OUR UNITHOLDERS,

2014 was a very good year for Pure Multi-Family REIT LP. 
Our  goals  of  demonstrating  disciplined  growth 
through increased same property revenues, accretive 
acquisitions  of  Class  A,  high  quality  properties  and 
recycling  capital  through  the  disposition  of  older, 
higher  maintenance  properties  were  successfully 
met.  Our  results  were  further  enhanced  by  the 
continued  rationalization  of  expenses  and  we  are 
very pleased to report that our funds from operations 
(“FFO”) grew 25.2% per share to $0.463 per share.
During the year, Pure Multi raised $50.2 million.  With 
these proceeds, we acquired $107 million of Class A, 
high  quality  apartment  communities  consisting  of 
848 apartments. On the operations side, we focused 
on  several  key  areas:  rental  rate  growth  through 
accretive  acquisitions  and  value-add  strategies, 
occupancy, operational efficiencies and recycling our 
capital to improve our portfolio’s overall performance.   
As  we  focused  on  increasing  our  revenues,  we  also 
executed the disposition of our oldest properties that 
are more capital intensive and have lower operating-
margins. The end result was the very successful sale 
in  December  2014  of  Windscape  Apartments.  This 
property  was  acquired  in  July  2012  for  a  purchase 

price of $8.4 million. We sold the property for $10.5 
million,  representing  an  annualized  gain  on  equity 
of over 24%. At year end, our portfolio consisted of 
4,308 apartments and over 3.8 million square feet of 
rentable space situated on over 236 acres of land.
It is important to note that subsequent to year end, 
we  completed  the  successful  sale  of  Sunset  Point 
Apartments  in  January  2015.  We  acquired  Sunset 
Point in September 2012 for $24.6 million and it was 
originally acquired as two separate but neighbouring 
properties.  We  combined  the  property  operations 
on acquisition in order to achieve almost immediate 
operational efficiencies and deployed a similar value-
add  strategy  that  was  implemented  at  Windscape. 
We sold the property for $27.95 million representing 
an  annualized  gain  on  equity  of  over  22%. The  net 
proceeds from both properties have been combined 
to  acquire  Park  at  West  Ave,  a  2014  built  Class  A 
property located in North San Antonio, Texas.

OUR RESULTS

(cid:116)(cid:1)

(cid:116)(cid:1)

(cid:116)(cid:1)

Pure Multi achieved strong financial results in 2014:
25.2% FFO per unit growth (2014 vs 2013)
5.6%  same  property  total  rental  revenue 
growth (2014 vs 2013)
$48.5  million  2014  rental  revenues  -  an 
increase from $31.6 million during 2013
2014 net operating income margin of 53.9%, 
an increase from 51.8% in 2013
8.5%  same  property  net  operating  income  
(“NOI”) growth (2014 vs. 2013)

(cid:116)(cid:1)

(cid:116)(cid:1)

We believe that not only is it important to highlight 
Pure  Multi’s  strong  2014  operating  results  and  FFO 
growth, but also that Pure Multi is unique in that we 
provide  investors  with  a  truly  aligned  management 
structure.  Our  structure  does  not  permit  external 
asset  management  or  transaction  fees.  We  have 
established a structure, through the issuance of our 
Class  B  units,  that  is  success  driven.  Management 
is  not  remunerated  in  any  other  manner  until 
we  reach  a  $300  million  market  capitalization, 
at  which  point  Pure  Multi  will  internalize  asset 
management  at  no  cost  to  the  REIT. The  savings  to 

the unitholders is significant.  If Pure Multi had utilized 
a REIT compensation model with a 0.4% external asset 
management fee based on GBV, the cost to unitholders 
would  have  been  significantly  greater  than  what 
actually  was  incurred.  Since  IPO,  Pure  Multi’s  efficient 
model has resulted in net cash savings to unitholders of 
greater than $2 million.  

OUR STRATEGY
Pure  Multi’s  core  strategy  remains  unchanged  since 
IPO,  focusing  on  Class  A,  high  quality  multi-family 
apartment  communities  in  primary  markets  that 
produce  a  steady,  sustainable  yield  while  offering 
investors  significant  annual  organic  growth.    Newer 
construction, Class A properties tend to have better 
operating  efficiencies, 
lower  maintenance  and 
capital  expenses  and  benefit  from  the  ability  to 
generate stronger rental rate growth as the residents 
generally have higher disposable incomes. The stable 
and growing income produced by these high quality 
properties  stems  from  the  strong  demand  in  the 
multi-family real estate sector. This demand continues 
to be driven by employment and population growth, 
lifestyle  choices  and  limited  new  supply  in  our

target  markets.    We  believe  our  operational  focus 
on increasing revenues and maintaining strong NOI 
margins will continue to drive shareholder value.

OUR APARTMENT COMMUNITIES
By way of a summary, U.S. multi‐family real estate has 
generated  strong  investor  returns  over  the  last  20 
years, driven by:

(cid:116)(cid:1)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:66)(cid:67)(cid:77)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:80)(cid:78)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:66)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:28)

(cid:116)(cid:1)(cid:78)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:66)(cid:67)(cid:77)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:68)(cid:66)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:66)(cid:77)(cid:1)(cid:70)(cid:89)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:74)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:78)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:28)(cid:1)
(cid:116)(cid:1)(cid:71)(cid:66)(cid:87)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:66)(cid:67)(cid:77)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:67)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:246)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:15)
These  drivers  are  evident  across  Pure  Multi’s 
leased 
portfolio.  The  current  portfolio  has  a 
occupancy  rate  of  98.4%  and  has  minimal  capex 
requirements. Our portfolio produces an attractive 
sustainable  yield  and  allows  us  to  maintain 
conservative  leverage  with  a  targeted  debt  to 
gross book value ratio of 55% - 60%.

However,  we  believe  that  as  in  previous  years, 
what  continues  to  differentiate  Pure  Multi  from 
its  competitors  is  the  quality  of  our  apartment 
communities,  which  we  believe  are  unparalleled 
in  the  Canadian  REIT  universe.  With  a  weighted 
average year of construction of 1996 at year end, our 
properties can be classified as newer construction. As 
highlighted above, and as further supported by our 
results,  there  is  a  clear  advantage  to  acquiring  and 
managing a Class A portfolio of assets.
Our  communities  offer  luxurious  amenities  such 
as  resort-style  swimming  pools,  outdoor  kitchens 
and  lounge  areas,  tennis  courts,  sand  volleyball 
courts, gated dog parks, clubhouses with 24-hour 
fitness  centres,  private  function  and  meeting 
facilities,  business  centres,  movie  theatres  and 
ample lush green space.  The units offer high-end 
condominium style finishes as well as attached and 
detached garages.

Our  current  core  markets,  Dallas-Fort

any  weakness  that  can  be  attributed  to 
the  layoffs  in  the  oil  field  areas.    We  will 
continue to monitor the market closely, but 
Houston is a far more diversified economy 
today  than  in  previous  downturns.  We 
expect  that  growth  will  continue  at  our 
locations and the general consensus is that 
job growth should continue in 2015, albeit 
at slower levels than in 2014.  

Phoenix is also continuing to experience 
job  and  population  growth.  Current 
unemployment  rates  remain  lower  than 
the  national  average  and  Phoenix  is 
expected  to  continue  with  higher  than 
average  population  growth  throughout 
2015.

OUR RESIDENTS
Our  residents  are  as  varied  as  our 
from 
range 
properties  and 
single 
professionals 
families  and 
to  young 
retirees.    Our  larger  overall  average  unit 
size allows us to attract a varied group of 
residents  that  enables  us  to  diversify  our 
income stream. 

One  of  the  key  drivers  of  the  strong 
demand  for  U.S.  multi-family  apartments 
continues to be the Echo Boom Generation. 
Just  as  their  parents  (the  Baby  Boomers) 
drove dramatic long term growth in certain 
areas  of  the  economy,  this  demographic 
is  estimated  to  be  between  72-80  million 
strong in the United States and they have a 
very high (almost 70%) propensity to rent.    

Lifestyle  amenities  continue  to  be  a 
priority  for  many  of  this  generation  and 
luxury  amenities  like  those  found  at  our 
properties  serve  as  additional  draws 
to  attract  this  group  of  renters.  Echo 
Boomers  generally  choose  to  rent  rather 
than  own  during  their  career-building 
years  as  renting  affords  a  great  low-
maintenance  standard  of  living  with  the 
flexibility  to  transfer  from  one  city  to 
another  with  ease  to  pursue  their  career 
paths. This  generation  tends  to  prefer  to 
live in close proximity to their jobs, shops 
and  entertainment,  as  well  as  public 
transportation.  

Negative  sentiment  continues  to  cloud 
home  ownership.  Lenders  continue  to 
require  a  significant  down  payment,  a 
static  career  position  and  strong  credit 
scores. This negative sentiment combined 
with  the  lifestyle  choices  of  the  Echo 
Boom  Generation  should  continue  to 
drive profitability, rental growth rates and 
values  in  the  apartment  sector  for  many 
years to come.

LOOKING FORWARD

In summary, we continue to build a Class A apartment portfolio spread across the strongest growth markets in 
the U.S. sunbelt, and we have demonstrated that we can rework our portfolio to enhance its value by recycling 
our equity through profitable sales. 
Management’s calculated net asset value is $5.91(USD) and trending upwards with our most recent acquisition 
announcement located in San Antonio, Texas. We are among the leaders in the Canadian REIT sector, with 
operational results that drive shareholder value including:

a trend of decreasing our payout ratio.

(cid:116)(cid:1)
Despite these leading results, delivered quarter after quarter, and our net asset value of $5.91, there has been, 
and in fact still continues to be, a valuation disconnect in terms of our current trading range which offers 
investors an exciting growth prospect in what is generally considered to be the most conservative sector of 
commercial real estate.
Our same property revenue growth, year over year, was 5.6%.  With our rental rate growth, combined with 
long term, fixed mortgage interest rates, our very low REIT cost structure and improving net operating income 
margins, we believe that Pure Multi will continue to position itself as the leader in our asset class.
Our goals remain unchanged - build the best Class A portfolio across key markets in the U.S. sunbelt, while 
enhancing  shareholder  value  through  our  unique  structure,  hands-on  management,  capital  recycling  and 
accretive acquisitions. We are looking forward to an exciting and busy 2015. We would like to sincerely thank 
all of our unitholders for their continued support and and to our Board of Directors and the Pure Multi team 
for their continued commitment to our goals. 

Yours truly,

acquisition and disposition prospects and opportunities will be consistent with Pure Multi’s experience over the past 
12 months, the multi-family residential real estate market in the “Sunbelt” region in the United States will remain 
strong,  the  global  economic  environment  will  remain  stable,  interest  rates  will  remain  at  current  levels,  and  Pure 
Multi’s business strategy, plans, outlook, projections, targets and operating costs will be consistent with Pure Multi’s

experience over the past 12 months, Pure Multi will be able to maintain occupancy at current levels, tenants will not 
default  on  lease  terms,  governmental  regulations  and  taxation  will  not  change  to  adversely  affect  Pure  Multi’s 
business  and  financial  results,  and  Pure  Multi  will  be  able  to  obtain  adequate  insurance  and  financing;  however, 
management can give no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

Unless  otherwise  noted,  all  financial  information  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial 
information  included  in  this  MD&A  for  the  year ended  December  31,  2014 includes  material  information  up  to 
March  6,  2015.    Except  as  otherwise  stated  in  this  MD&A,  all  dollar  amounts  in  this  MD&A,  including  per  unit 
amounts, are stated in U.S. dollars.

On  January  1,  2014,  Pure  Multi  adopted  IFRIC  21,  Levies (“IFRIC  21”),  and  such  standard  is  reflected  on  a 
retrospective  basis  with  restatement  of  prior  period  comparative  information  as  of  and  subsequent  to  January  1, 
2013.  IFRIC 21 removes Pure Multi’s ability to accrue and recognize property taxes on a pro-rata basis throughout 
the given reporting year.  As a result, property taxes must be recognized when the obligating event occurs, which is 
deemed to be January 1 of the given reporting year. 

All references  herein to  “consolidated” refer to amounts as reported under IFRS.    All references to  “Pure Multi’s 
interest” refer to a non-IFRS measure presented on a proportionally consolidated basis and assuming Pure Multi did 
not  adopt  the  IFRIC  21  accounting  policy  change.    For  a  reconciliation  of  Pure  Multi’s  statement  of  financial 
position and results of operations, see “Statement of Financial Position and Results of Operations Reconciliation”.

(the “Governing GP”), its governing general partner, pursuant to the terms of a Limited Partnership Agreement (the 
“LP  Agreement”).  Pure Multi’s head office  and address  for service is located at 910  – 925 West Georgia Street, 
Vancouver,  British  Columbia,  V6C  3L2.    A  copy  of  the  LP  Agreement  can  be  obtained  from  Pure  Multi  or  on 
SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 

Pure Multi, through Pure US Apartments REIT Inc. (the “US REIT”), was established for, among other things, the 
purposes of acquiring, owning and operating multi-family real estate properties in the United States.  

Operational and Financial Highlights (all metrics stated at Pure Multi’s interest (1)) 

On May 21, 2014, Pure Multi completed a private placement offering of 4,395,824 units (each, a “Unit”), at a price 
of $4.55 per Unit for gross proceeds of $20,000,999 (the “May 2014 Offering”).  Each Unit consists of one Class A 
unit (each, a “Class A Unit”) of Pure Multi and one-half of one Class A Unit purchase warrant (each whole warrant, 
a  “Warrant”).    On  June  27,  2014,  Pure  Multi  used  the  proceeds  from  the  May  2014  Offering  to  complete  the 
acquisition of a 352 residential unit, multi-family apartment community (“Walker Commons”), located in Houston, 
Texas, for a purchase price of $43,800,000.  

On July 29, 2014, Pure Multi completed a bought deal offering of 6,350,000 Class A Units, at a price of $4.75 per 
Class A Unit, for gross proceeds of $30,162,500 (the “July 2014 Offering”).  On August 28, 2014, Pure Multi used 
the proceeds from the July 2014 Offering to complete the acquisition of two investment properties (the “July 2014 
Target Properties”), consisting of 496 residential units, for an aggregate purchase price of $63,600,000.  The July 
2014 Target Properties consist of a multi-family apartment property (the “Preserve”) located in Dallas, Texas and 
the  remaining  80%  interest  in  a  multi-family  property  (“San  Brisas”)  located  in  Phoenix,  Arizona,  which  was 
previously partially owned by Pure Multi. 

On  December  18,  2014,  Pure  Multi  sold  Windscape  Apartment  Homes  (“Windscape”),  a  multi-family  apartment 
community, located in Dallas, Texas, for a sale price of $10,500,000.  From the date of acquisition on July 12, 2012, 
until the date of  sale on December 18, 2014, Pure Multi earned an average annualized return of over 24% on the 
equity invested in Windscape.  Pure Multi intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Windscape to acquire a 
newer investment property within the first six months of 2015. 

As at December 31, 2014, Pure Multi’s portfolio consisted of 14 investment properties comprising an aggregate of 
4,308 residential units and situated on over 236 acres of land. 

During the fourth quarter of 2014, Pure Multi was able to increase total revenues by 34.0% compared to the same 
period in 2013, and obtain an increase of 8.1% in same property net rental income growth (2), an increase of 7.1% in 
same property revenue growth (3) and an increase of 5.3% in same property average monthly rent per occupied unit 
(4), during the same period. 

Pure  Multi  earned  an  average  monthly  rent  per  occupied  unit  of  $989.48, or  $1.117  per  square  foot,  on  its  entire 
portfolio during the three months ended December 31, 2014 (three months ended December 31, 2013 - $916.62 and 
$1.053, respectively) and average monthly rent per occupied unit of $957.89, or $1.090 per square foot, on its entire 
portfolio  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014  (year  ended  December  31,  2013  -  $912.62  and  $1.038, 
respectively). 

Pure Multi had mortgages payable of $256.7 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.86% as at December 
31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $196.3 million and 4.12%, respectively).   

The resulting loan to gross book value, after the transactions described above, was 57.9% as at December 31, 2014 
(December  31,  2013  –  64.0%),  well  below  the  maximum  indebtedness  level  of  70%  stipulated  within  the  LP

Note:
(1)

Pure  Multi  acquired  a  20%  ownership  interest  in  San  Brisas  during  2013  and  acquired  the  remaining  80%  ownership 
interest during 2014. 

Properties Acquired During 2014 

On  June  27,  2014,  Pure  Multi,  through  the  US  REIT,  acquired  Walker  Commons,  a  multi-family  apartment 
community,  located  in  Houston,  Texas,  for  a  purchase  price  of  $43,800,000,  plus  standard  closing  costs  and 
adjustments.    As  part  of  the  adjustments  made  on  closing,  Pure  Multi  agreed  to  pay  to  the  seller,  Sunstone  U.S. 
Opportunity (No. 2) Realty Trust (see “Related Party Transactions”), $1,689,631, which is equal to the fair market 
value adjustment that Pure Multi would have incurred if it had assumed the mortgage as part of the acquisition, for a 
portion  of  the  mortgage  buyout  costs.    This  additional  cost  was  treated  as  an  acquisition  cost  at  the  time  of  the 
acquisition.  The acquisition was financed with proceeds from the May 2014 Offering and a new five year mortgage 
in the amount of $28,470,000. 

On August 28, 2014, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, acquired the Preserve, a multi-family apartment community, 
located  in  Plano,  Texas,  for  a  purchase  price  of  $41,000,000,  plus  standard  closing  costs  and  adjustments.    This 
acquisition was financed with proceeds from the July 2014 Offering and a new seven year mortgage  in the amount 
of $24,600,000. 

On August 28, 2014, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, acquired the remaining 80% interest in San Brisas, a multi-
family  apartment  community,  located  in  Chandler,  Arizona,  for  a  purchase  price  of  $22,640,000,  plus  standard 
closing costs and adjustments.  As part of the adjustments made on closing, Pure Multi agreed to pay to the seller, 
Sunstone U.S. Opportunity (No. 2) Realty Trust (see “Related Party Transactions”), $1,236,807, which is equal to 
the fair market value adjustment that Pure Multi would have incurred if it had assumed the mortgage as part of the 
acquisition, for a portion of the mortgage buyout costs.  This additional cost was treated as an acquisition cost at the 
time of the acquisition.  This acquisition was financed with proceeds from the July 2014 Offering and a new seven 
year mortgage in the amount of $16,980,000. 

Properties Sold During 2014 

On December 18, 2014, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, sold Windscape, a multi-family apartment community,
located in Dallas, Texas, for a sale price of $10,500,000, plus standard closing costs and adjustments.  The mortgage 
payable, secured by Windscape, was paid off in full as of the same date. 

July 2014 Class A Unit Offering 

On July 29, 2014, Pure Multi completed the July 2014 Offering of 6,350,000 Class A Units, at a price of $4.75 per 
Class A Unit, for gross proceeds of $30,162,500. 

Proceeds from the July 2014 Offering were used to acquire the July 2014 Target Properties.  The following tables 
provide a description about Pure Multi’s previous disclosure regarding the proposed use of proceeds from the July 
2014 Offering, as identified in Pure Multi’s short form prospectus dated July 22, 2014 (the “July 2014 Prospectus”), 
available  on  SEDAR  at  www.sedar.com,  and  its  actual  use  of  such  proceeds,  including  purchase  prices  (before 
closing adjustments), mortgage proceeds and balance of funds to complete the acquisitions:

 (2)   Pure Multi acquired the July 2014 Target Properties with proceeds from the July 2014 Offering and mortgages in the amount 

of $24,600,000 and $13,584,000, respectively.  

Pure Multi had anticipated acquiring the July 2014 Target Properties for an aggregate purchase price of $63,340,000 
with  $41,171,000  in  estimated  mortgage  financing,  as  disclosed  in  the  July  2014  Prospectus.    Pure  Multi 
subsequently  acquired  the  July  2014  Target  Properties  for  $63,640,000  with  $38,184,000  in  actual  mortgage 
financing, as indicated in the table above.  The decrease in actual mortgage financing resulted in Pure Multi using a 
greater  amount  of  the  proceeds  from  the  July  2014  Offering  to  complete  the  acquisitions  and  correspondingly 
reduced the unallocated working capital compared to the disclosure in the July 2014 Prospectus.

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

OUTLOOK 

Pure Multi has raised approximately $194.5 million, through public and private offerings, since it began operations 
in July of 2012 to the date of this report.  This includes the issuance of 34,834,824 Class  A Units and 2,197,912 
share purchase warrants for gross proceeds of $171.5 million, and the issuance of 23,000 Convertible Debentures for 
gross  proceeds  of  $23  million.    These  proceeds  have  been  used  to  acquire  a  high-quality  portfolio  of  apartment 
communities, predominantly located within the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but also with exposure to the Houston and 
Phoenix  sub-markets. Pure  Multi’s  strategy  is  one  of  strong  growth  combined  with  steady  cash  distributions  to 
unitholders.  Management continues to focus on core “Sunbelt” markets within the U.S. and the acquisition of well 
located,  quality  apartment  communities,  with  a  conservative  mix  of  medium  to  long-term  conventional  mortgage 
debt. 

As at December 31, 2014, Pure Multi’s portfolio consists of 14 investment properties, 4,308 high-quality apartment 
units, comprising approximately 3.83  million rentable square feet and situated on 236 acres, located in Texas and 
Arizona. Pure  Multi’s  platform  in  the  U.S.  consists  of  85  employees,  undertaking  marketing,  due  diligence  and 
management, at its property level. 

Looking  back  at  the  2014  fiscal  year,  Pure  Multi  raised  over  $50.1  million,  through  the  issuance  of  equity 
instruments, and used these proceeds to acquire three investment properties located in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, 
Texas  and  Phoenix,  Arizona  markets,  thus  increasing  its  presence  into strong  “Sunbelt”  markets.    In  addition  to 
building  the  portfolio  through  acquisitions,  management  also  began  to  work  its  base  portfolio  by  strategically 
divesting two of its assets,  including  one subsequent to December 31, 2014, at substantial return on equity  gains, 
with the intention to re-invest that capital into newer, Class A type assets.  Pure Multi’s equity gains were enhanced 
due to the execution of its value-add strategy, on both of these mid-1980’s built assets, since acquisition by way of 
cosmetic  physical  improvements  and  aggressive  property  management.    The  first  of  these  sales  occurred  on 
December 18, 2014, when Pure Multi sold Windscape, located in Dallas, Texas, for gross proceeds of $10.5 million,
resulting in an average annualized return on equity of over 24%, since acquisition.  Subsequent to the 2014 year end, 
on  January  14,  2015,  Pure  Multi  completed  its  second  divesture,  when  it  sold  Sunset  Point  Apartment  Homes 
(“Sunset  Point”),  located  in  Arlington,  Texas,  for  gross  proceeds  of  $27.95  million,  which  resulted  in  an  average 
annualized  return  on  equity  over  22%,  since  acquisition. With  the  net  proceeds  obtained  from  these  sales, 
approximately $16.4 million, Pure Multi intends on upgrading its portfolio by acquiring a newer, Class A type asset, 
within the first half of 2015.  Not only is Pure Multi upgrading the age of its portfolio, by way of these transactions, 
but it is enhancing the value of its portfolio by acquiring a newer, Class A type asset, which typically have lower 
maintenance  costs  and  higher  rents  than  a  Class  B  type  property. Pure  Multi  will  continue  to  monitor  the 
capitalization rates within its markets throughout 2015, continue to execute on its value-add strategy, and will look 
to recycle capital, by way of strategic upgrades, where management can create additional shareholder value, as they 
have with their two most recent divestures. 

In addition to generating shareholder value through acquisitions, Pure Multi is experiencing  strong organic growth 
on its current portfolio.  On a year over year basis, during the 2014 fiscal year, Pure Multi achieved same property 
revenue growth of over 5.6%, which led to same property net rental income growth of over 8.5%, when compared to 
the 2013 fiscal year. Looking ahead at the 2015 fiscal year, Pure Multi does not expect the current decline in the 
price of oil to have a significant impact on its current operations.  The majority of Pure Multi’s portfolio is located 
within  the  Dallas-Fort  Worth  area,  which  is  a  largely  diversified  market,  and  is  not  expected  to  be  significantly 
impacted by the current decline in the price of oil.  Should oil prices remain at current levels for an extended period 
of time, management expects there could be more of an impact in southern Texas, where Pure Multi has only two 
investment  properties,  representing  13%  of  its  residential  units  at  December  31,  2014.      Notwithstanding  this 
potential impact at  this time,  management  is  still expecting rental revenue  to grow over prior year in this  market, 
perhaps just not to the same degree as in the prior year.  On an overall portfolio basis, management believes Pure 
Multi  is  well  positioned  to  continue  its  strong  organic  rental  revenue  and  net  rental  income  growth  into  the  2015 
year.  Pure Multi  will also look to grow through acquisitions of newer, Class A type assets, in markets across the 
U.S. that are near the top in both population and job growth.  There continues to be a large supply of acquisition 
opportunities  that  come  to  the  market,  permitting  Pure  Multi  to  execute  its  growth  plans  with  discipline.  
Management is excited about the growth prospects of the Pure Multi investment platform over the coming months.

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

During the  year ended December 31, 2014, based on Pure Multi’s interest, Pure Multi recorded rental revenue of 
$48,474,655,  net  rental  income  of  $26,111,241  and  net  income  of  $41,949,277  from  its investment  properties,
compared to $31,582,947, $16,356,863 and $14,202,208, respectively,  during the  year ended December 31, 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, based on Pure Multi’s interest, Pure Multi incurred $769,883 of general 
and  administrative  expenses  (year  ended  December  31,  2013  -  $617,168),  realized  a  fair  value  adjustment  to
investment properties gain of $28,114,209 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $5,338,983) and incurred franchise tax 
expense  of  $329,145  (year  ended  December  31,  2013  -  $255,670).    The  increase  in  revenues,  expenses  and  net 
income  are  primarily  attributable  to  Pure  Multi  operating  additional  investment  properties  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2014, compared to  the year ended December 31, 2013, in addition to strong organic rental revenue 
growth experienced from the investment properties operated during both periods.

Pure Multi’s loan to gross book value ratio decreased to 57.9% at December 31, 2014 from 64.0% at December 31, 
2013  and  its  distribution  payout  ratio  on  Distributable  Income  was  82.4%  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014 
(year ended December 31, 2013 – 99.2%). For further clarity, Pure Multi’s loan to gross book value ratio is defined 
as the ratio between Pure Multi’s overall borrowed money, including the face amount outstanding of any convertible 
debentures, and the total book value of the assets plus accumulated depreciation and amortization in respect of such 
assets.    Pure  Multi  defines  distribution  payout  ratio  as  the  percentage  of  Distributable  Income  that  is  paid  out  to 
unitholders  (see  “Distributable  Income”). For  additional  information,  see  “Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  –

Finance Expenses  

Finance expenses consist of interest expense, distributions to subsidiary’s preferred unitholders and preferred units
of  subsidiary  offering  costs  (see  “Financial  Condition  –  Preferred  Units  of  Subsidiary”).    Pure  Multi  declared 
distributions in the amount of $15,625 to the subsidiary’s preferred unitholders during the year ended December 31,
2014 (year ended December 31, 2013- $14,888).  Preferred units of subsidiary offering costs are the costs incurred 
by Pure Multi that relate to the issuance of the preferred units of subsidiary.  During the year ended December 31,
2014,  Pure  Multi  did  not  incur  any  costs  relating  to  the  preferred  units  of  subsidiary  offering  costs  (year  ended 
December 31, 2013 - $50,454). 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense consists of mortgage interest, convertible debenture interest, credit facility interest, amortization of 
transaction costs, amortization of mark to market mortgage adjustment and accretion of convertible debentures.

The  weighted  average  interest  rate  on  the  mortgages,  based  on  Pure  Multi’s  interest,  is  3.86%  per  annum  as  at 
December  31,  2014  (December  31,  2013  -  4.12%)  and  the  mortgages  mature  between  2017  and  2028  with  a
weighted  average  mortgage  term  of  6.8  years  remaining  (December  31,  2013 -  8.0  years  remaining).    Pure  Multi 
intends to refinance any mortgages which mature within six months of the maturity date. 

General and Administrative Expenses 

General  and  administrative  expenses  are  primarily  comprised  of  directors’  fees, directors’  and  officers’  liability 
insurance, professional fees, legal fees, filing fees, and administrative expenses.  Professional fees include auditing 
and tax fees.  Administrative expenses include US REIT compliance expenditures, investor relations expenses  and 
bank charges.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, total general and administrative expenses amounted to 1.6%
of rental revenue (year ended December 31, 2013 - 2.0%). Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement with the 
Managing GP, as described under “Related Party Transactions”, Pure Multi will not compensate the Managing GP 
for  its  services,  which  include  providing  asset  management,  administrative  and  reporting  services.    The  Asset 
Management Agreement also requires the Managing GP to provide Pure Multi with support services consisting of 
office space and equipment and the necessary clerical and secretarial personnel for the administration of its day-to-
day activities, at no cost.

Fair Value Adjustment to Investment Properties 

As  Pure  Multi  revalues  its  investment  properties  at  fair  value  each  reporting  date,  it  records  the  fair  value 
adjustments as an income or expense item.  For the year ended December 31, 2014, based on Pure Multi’s interest,
Pure  Multi  recorded  a  gain  of  $28,114,209 in  fair  value  adjustments  to  its  investment  properties  (year  ended 
December  31,  2013  -  $5,338,983).    The  weighted  average  capitalization  rate  of  the  investment  properties  at 
December 31, 2014, based on Pure Multi’s interest, was 5.90% (December 31, 2013 - 6.16%).   

Loss on Disposal of Investment Property 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, Pure Multi sold Windscape for a sale price of $10,500,000.  As a result 
of the sale, Pure Multi incurred a loss on disposal of the investment property in the amount of $235,421.  The loss on 
disposal is a result of the  selling costs incurred during the  sales process,  which reduced the net proceeds received 
below the fair market value of the investment property on the date of the sale.  Pure Multi did not sell any properties 
during the year ended December 31, 2013. 

Income Taxes 

Pure  Multi  is  not  subject  to  tax  under  Part  I  of  the  Income  Tax  Act  (Canada)  (the  “Tax  Act”).    Each  partner 
(or “unitholder”) of Pure Multi is required to include in computing the partner’s income for a particular taxation year 
the partner’s share of the income or loss of Pure Multi for its fiscal year ending in or on the partner’s taxation year-
end,  whether  or  not  any  of  that  income  or  loss  is  distributed  to  the  partner  in  the  taxation  year.    Accordingly,  no 
provision has been made for Canadian income taxes under Part I of the Tax Act. 

Franchise Taxes 

Texas Franchise Tax applicable to Pure Multi, for its investment properties operated in Texas, is equal to 1% of the 
lesser of: (i) 70% of total revenue; (ii) 100% of total revenue less cost of goods sold; or (iii) 100% of total revenue 
less  compensation  expense.    Pure  Multi  recorded  a  provision  for  Texas  Franchise  Tax  of  $329,145  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2014 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $255,670).

Offering Costs 

Offering  costs  are  the  costs  incurred  by  Pure  Multi  that  relate  to  the  issuance  of  equity  instruments,  which  are 
included  in  the  statement  of  partners’  capital.    During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014, Pure  Multi  incurred 
$2,188,921 of offering costs (year ended December, 2013 - $2,350,475).

Distributions to Limited Partners 

Pure  Multi  declared  distributions  in  the  amount  of  $11,322,956  to  Class  A  unitholders  and  $595,945  to  Class  B 
unitholders during the year ended December 31, 2014 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $7,952,485 and $418,552,
respectively). 

DISTRIBUTABLE INCOME 

Pure Multi uses Distributable Income (“DI”) to measure its ability to earn and distribute cash to unitholders.  DI is a
non-IFRS  measurement,  using  Pure  Multi’s  interest  as  previously  disclosed,  and  should  not  be  construed  as  an 
alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Pure Multi’s performance.  DI as 
computed  by  Pure  Multi  may  differ  from  similar  computations  as  reported  by  other  similar  business  entities  and, 
accordingly, may not be comparable to DI as reported by such business entities. DI does not have any standardized 
meaning prescribed by  IFRS. Management calculates DI  by adding to or deducting  the following items  from  net 
cash  from  operating  activities:  non-cash  working  capital  items,  IFRIC  21  adjustments, interest  income, interest 
expense, distributions to preferred unitholders and preferred units of subsidiary offering costs.

Pure Multi may distribute to unitholders on each distribution date such percentage of the DI of Pure Multi for the 
month  immediately  preceding  the  month  in  which  the  distribution  date  falls,  as  the  board  of  directors  of  the 
Governing GP may determine at their discretion. Currently, the board of directors of the Governing GP intends to 
make an annual cash distribution to unitholders of $0.375 per Class A Unit.  Monthly distributions will be paid on 
the  distribution  date  to  unitholders  of  record  on  the  last  business  day  of  such  month.  See  “Financial  Condition  –

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

The board of directors of the Governing GP looks beyond quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in  working capital  when 
making decisions regarding monthly distributions.  As a result, management believes that the measure of DI, which 
excludes  the  impact  of  changes  in  non-cash  working  capital,  is  a  better  measure  for  determining  operating 
performance.   Management believes that the calculation of Standardized Distributable  Cash, defined as cash flow 
from operations, distorts Pure Multi’s quarter-to-quarter distributable cash and payout ratios, as non-cash operating 
working capital fluctuates. 

For the purpose of this MD&A, management defines “Diluted DI per unit” as Distributable Income divided by the 
diluted weighted average number of units outstanding.

Mortgage Reserve Fund

The mortgage reserve fund consists of cash on deposit requested by the lenders to be retained in escrow to pay for 
any repairs to the properties and certain costs.  These funds will be released to pay the respective obligations or once 
certain  conditions  are  met,  such  as  completion  of  repairs.    As  at  December  31,  2014,  the  term  for  the  current 
mortgage reserve fund is less than 12 months.  The amortized cost of the mortgage reserve fund is $6,208,641, based

Preferred Units of Subsidiary 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2013,  the  US  REIT  issued  125  preferred  units  at  $1,000  per  unit  for  gross 
proceeds  of  $125,000.    On  consolidation,  the  preferred  units  of  the  US  REIT  are  reflected  as  a  liability  of  Pure 
Multi.   

The  preferred  units  are  non-voting  preferred  units.    Unitholders  holding  preferred  units  are  entitled  to  receive 
dividends from the US REIT at a per annum rate equal to 12.5%, payable on June 30 and December 31 of each year.  
Unitholders holding preferred units will be allocated such return in priority to any allocations or distributions to all 
other  classes  and  series  of  units  of  the  US  REIT.    However,  after  payment  of  such  return  to  unitholders  holding 
preferred units, preferred unitholders are not otherwise entitled to share in the income of the US REIT. 

The  US  REIT  may  redeem  the  preferred  units  at  any  time,  for  a  price  equal  to  $1,000  per  preferred  unit,  plus 
accumulated and unpaid distributions and a redemption premium if the preferred units are redeemed before January 
1, 2015.  The redemption premium is equal to $100 per preferred unit if redemption occurs  on or before December 
31, 2014.  There is no redemption premium for redemptions after December 31, 2014. 

Due to the fixed distributions and preferred treatment for preferred units, they meet the definition of a liability.  In 
addition, the board of directors of the Governing GP does not expect to redeem any preferred units within the next 
year.  Thus, the preferred units are classified as non-current liabilities.

Convertible Debentures 

On  August  7,  2013,  Pure  Multi  issued  $23,000,000  of  6.5%  convertible  unsecured  subordinated  debentures  (the 
“6.5%  convertible  debentures”)  due  on  September  30,  2020.    Each  of  the  6.5%  convertible  debentures is
denominated with a face value of $1,000 and is convertible at the holder’s option at any time into Class A Units at 
conversion  price  of  $5.65  per  Class  A  Unit,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  trust  indenture  dated  August  7, 
2013.  On or after September 30, 2016, but prior to September 30, 2018, the 6.5% convertible debentures may be 
redeemed  by  Pure  Multi,  in  whole  or  in  part,  at  a  price  equal  to  their  principal  amount  plus  accrued  and  unpaid 
interest  thereon,  provided  the  weighted  average  trading  price  of  the  Class  A  Units  for  the  20  consecutive  trading 
days, ending on the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date on which notice of redemption is given, is at 
least 125% of the conversion price.  After September 30, 2018, the 6.5% convertible debentures may be redeemed 
by  Pure  Multi  at  any  time.    During  the  year ended  December  31,  2014,  none  of  the  6.5%  convertible  debentures 
were converted into Class A Units.  At December 31, 2014, $23,000,000 of the face value of the 6.5% convertible 
debentures was outstanding (December 31, 2013 - $23,000,000).

interest held by the Governing GP.  The Governing GP has made a capital contribution of $20 to Pure Multi and has 
no further obligation to contribute capital.   

From the date of formation on May 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, the Managing GP subscribed for 200,000 Class 
B Units of Pure Multi, at a price of $5.00 per Class B Unit, for gross proceeds to Pure Multi of $1,000,000, which 
entitles  the  Class  B  Unitholders,  initially,  to  a  5%  interest  in  Pure  Multi.    As  of  the  date  hereof,  Pure  Multi  has 
200,000 Class B Units outstanding.

From the date of formation on May 8, 2012 to December 31, 2013, Pure Multi issued 24,089,000 Class A Units for 
gross proceeds of $121,283,350, less offering costs.  

On May 21, 2014, Pure Multi completed the May 2014 Offering, a private placement offering of 4,395,824 Units, at 
a price of $4.55 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $20,000,999.  Each Unit consists of one Class A Unit and one-half of 
one Warrant.    Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Class A Unit from Pure Multi at a price of 
$5.15 per Class A Unit until November 20, 2016. 

On July 29, 2014, Pure Multi completed the July 2014 Offering, a bought deal offering of 6,350,000 Class A Units, 
at a price of $4.75 per Class A Unit for gross proceeds of $30,162,500.

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

As at December 31, 2014, Pure Multi has 34,834,824 Class A Units, 200,000 Class B Units and 2,197,912 Warrants 
outstanding. 

The capital of Pure Multi is divided into Class A Units and Class B Units.  The Class A Units are the subject of the 
public offerings described in Pure Multi’s prospectuses dated July 3, 2012, October 12, 2012, May 1, 2013 and July 
22, 2014, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  The Class B Units were subscribed for by the Managing GP on 
May  30,  2012.    Except  as  set  out  in  the  LP  Agreement,  no  Class  A  Unit  or  Class  B  Unit  has  any  preference  or 
priority over another. 

The Class  A Units  will  share in a 95% equity interest in all distributions and all  net assets of Pure Multi and the 
Managing GP, as the holder of the Class B Units, will share in a 5% equity interest in all distributions and all net 
assets of Pure Multi.  These respective interests, which are called the “Class A Unit Percentage Interest” and “Class 
B  Unit  Percentage  Interest”,  will  remain  fixed,  notwithstanding  the  issue  of  further  Class  A  Units,  until  the 
occurrence of a Determination Event, as described below.  Following the occurrence of a Determination Event, the 
number  of  Class  A  Units  to  which  the  Class  B  Unitholder  is  entitled  upon  exercising  the  Conversion  Rights  (as 
defined in the LP Agreement) attached thereto becomes fixed, and future issuances of Class A Units will result in a 
decline in the Class B Unit Percentage Interest.  

All distributions will be made to the holders of the Class A Units and the Class B Units in accordance with the Class 
A Unit Percentage Interest and Class B Unit Percentage Interest, respectively.  As  described in the LP Agreement, 
until a Determination Event occurs, distributions from Pure Multi will generally be made 95% to the Class  A Units 
and 5% to the Class B Units. 

Pursuant to the LP Agreement, the Class B Unitholders as a class are entitled to convert some or all of their Class B 
Units  into  Class  A  Units  based  on  the  Specified  Ratio  (as  defined  in  the  LP  Agreement).    Upon  the  Class  B 
Unitholders exercising their Conversion Rights, they will own that number of Class A Units which is equal to the 
Class B Unit Percentage Interest (initially 5%) of all Class A Units outstanding after such conversion.  The Class B 
Unit  Percentage  Interest  will  remain  fixed  at  5%  notwithstanding  the  issue  of  further  Class  A  Units,  until  the 
occurrence of a Determination Event.  Following the occurrence of a Determination Event, the number of Class A 
Units  to  which  the  Class  B  Unitholder  is  entitled  upon  exercising  Conversion  Rights  becomes  fixed,  and  future 
issuances of Class A Units will result in a decline in the Class B Unit Percentage Interest.  A Determination Event is 
the earliest to occur of the following: (a) Pure Multi’s market capitalization exceeding $300,000,000 for a period of 
10 consecutive trading days; (b) an arm’s length take-over bid being made for the Class A Units, provided that not 
less than 51% of the Class A Units not held by the offer or are taken-up in such bid; and (c) substantially all of the 
assets of Pure Multi being sold or Pure Multi being liquidated.  

The Conversion Rights may be exercised by the Managing GP at any time provided that: 

(a)  Pure Multi is legally entitled to comply with its obligations in connection with the exercise of the Conversion 

Rights; and  

(b)    the Class B Unitholder who exercises the Conversion Rights complies with all applicable securities laws.  

Upon  the  exercise  of  the  Conversion  Rights,  the  Class  B  Unitholders  will  receive  that  number  of  Class  A  Units 
which is equal to the Specified Ratio multiplied by the number of outstanding Class B Units.  As such, pursuant to 
the terms of the LP Agreement, the Class B Unitholders will receive such number of Class A Units representing the 
same Class B Unit Percentage Interest in the net assets of Pure Multi as was previously designated in the form of 
Class B Units.  Subject to applicable laws, Pure Multi will redesignate all the interests of Class B Unitholders into 
Class A Units at the Specified Ratio, as defined in LP Agreement, effective as of the date that Pure Multi receives a 
notice  of  exercise  of  the  Conversion  Rights.    Upon  such  occurrence,  the  interests  of  Class  B  Unitholders  will  be 
redesignated as Class A Units.  The Class B Units will not be required to be redeemed or cancelled. 

33

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

Pursuant to the LP Agreement, the Managing GP or any affiliate or associate of the Managing GP which is then the 
Class B Unitholder, has agreed that it will not dispose of more than one-third of the Class A Units received by it 
upon the conversion of the Class B Units in each consecutive twelve month period ending after the first anniversary 
of the earlier of: (i) the date a Determination Event occurs; and (ii) the date upon which the conversion is completed.  
This limitation will not apply where the Conversion Rights have been exercised in connection with a takeover bid or 
a sale of substantially all of Pure Multi’s assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations 

Funds  from  operations  (“FFO”)  is  a  non-IFRS  measure,  using  Pure  Multi’s  interest  as  previously  disclosed,  and 
should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or cash flows, as applicable, determined in accordance with 
IFRS.    However,  FFO  is  an  operating  performance  measure  which  is  widely  used  by  the  real  estate  industry  and 
Pure Multi has calculated FFO in accordance with the recommendations of the Real Property Association of Canada 
(“REALpac”).  Pure Multi’s method of calculating FFO may differ from other companies and accordingly may not 
be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. 

The use of FFO, combined with the required IFRS presentations, has been presented for the purpose of improving 
the understanding of operating results in the real estate industry by the investing public and in making comparisons 
of the companies operating results more meaningful. 

As FFO excludes fair value adjustments, amortization, and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a 
performance  measure  that,  when  compared  period  over  period,  reflects  the  impact  on  operations  of  trends  in 
occupancy levels, rental rates, operating costs and realty taxes; acquisition activities; and interest costs, and provides 
a perspective of financial performance that is not immediately apparent from net earnings determined in accordance 
with IFRS. 

FFO is a widely accepted supplemental measure of financial performance for real estate entities; however, it does 
not represent amounts available for capital programs, debt service obligations, commitments or uncertainties.  FFO 
should  not  be  interpreted  as  an  indicator  of  cash  generated  from  operating  activities  and  is  not  indicative  of  cash 
available to fund operating expenditures, or for the payment of cash distributions.  FFO  is simply one measure of 
operating performance. 

Adjusted  funds  from  operations  (“AFFO”)  is  also  a  non-IFRS  measure,  using  Pure  Multi’s  interest  as  previously 
disclosed, and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or cash flows, as applicable, determined in 
accordance with IFRS.  However, AFFO is  widely accepted as a performance  measurement tool in the real estate 
industry.    AFFO  is  calculated  by  adjusting  the  FFO  for  non-cash  compensation  items,  and  maintenance  capital 
expenditures.  Pure Multi’s method of calculating AFFO may differ from other companies and accordingly may not 
be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Capital Resources 

Cash generated by investment properties represents the primary source of funds to fund total distributions to limited 
partners of $11,918,901 for the year ended December 31, 2014 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $8,371,037).  

There are no significant working capital requirements that currently exist and there are no pending items that may 
affect liquidity.  There are no legal or practical restrictions on the ability of Pure Multi’s properties to transfer funds 
to Pure Multi. 

Proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  Class  A  Units,  Warrants,  Convertible  Debentures,  a  revolving  credit  facility  and 
conventional  mortgage  financing  have  been  used  mainly  to  fund  property  acquisitions.    Pure  Multi  intends  to 
refinance any mortgages which mature within six months of maturity. 

Management expects to be able to meet all of Pure Multi’s ongoing obligations and to finance future growth through 
cash generated by operations, the issuance of securities and by using conventional mortgages.  Pure Multi is not in 
default or arrears on any of its obligations including distribution payments, interest or principal payments on debt.

Pure  Multi  defines  capital  as  the  aggregate  of  partners’  capital,  preferred  units  of  subsidiary  and  long  term  debt.  
Pure Multi’s objectives in managing capital are to maintain a level of capital that complies with investment and debt 
restrictions  pursuant  to  the  initial  offering  prospectus;  complies  with  existing  debt  covenants,  if  any;  funds  its 
business strategies; and builds long-term partners’ value.  Pure Multi’s capital structure is approved by the board of 
directors of the Governing GP through its periodic reviews. 

The LP Agreement provides for a maximum indebtedness (or “loan”) level of up to 70% of the gross book value.  
The  term  “indebtedness”  means  any  obligation  of  Pure  Multi  for  borrowed  money  (including  the  face  amount 
outstanding under any convertible debentures and any outstanding liabilities of Pure Multi arising from the issuance 
of subordinated notes but excluding any premium in respect of indebtedness assumed by  Pure Multi for which Pure 
Multi  has  the  benefit  of  an  interest  rate  subsidy),  but  excludes  trade  accounts  payable,  distributions  payable  to 
unitholders, preferred units of subsidiary, accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business and short-term 
acquisition credit facilities.  The LP Agreement defines “gross book value” as the book value of the assets of  Pure 
Multi plus the amount of accumulated depreciation and amortization in respect of such assets (and related intangible 
assets), the amount of future income tax liability arising out of indirect acquisitions and excluding the amount of any 
receivable reflecting interest rate subsidies on any debt assumed by Pure Multi.  Pure Multi’s indebtedness is 57.9%
as at December 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – 64.0%). 

37

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

Maintaining a relatively low indebtedness ratio is important in current economic conditions because it allows Pure 
Multi to access additional financing, if necessary. 

The  LP  Agreement  allows  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Governing  GP,  at  their  discretion,  to  allocate  to  the 
unitholders in each year all or a portion of Pure Multi’s  income for the year, as calculated in accordance with the 
Tax Act, after all permitted deductions under the Tax Act have been taken.  The board of directors of the Governing 
GP also reviews the cash distribution paid to the unitholders on a regular basis.  The total distributions declared to 
Class A unitholders during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $11,322,956 (year ended December 31, 2013 - 
$7,952,485).  The total distributions declared to Class B unitholders during the year ended December 31, 2014 was 
$595,945 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $418,552). 

Pure Multi was in compliance with all restrictions during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.  

The capital structure consisted of the following components at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

The total capital of Pure Multi increased during the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to the issuance of 
additional Class A Units, proceeds of mortgages related to the acquisitions and net income earned from operations.  
These  increases  were  partially  offset  by  the  repayment  of  mortgages  payable  and  distributions  to  the  limited 
partners. 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

For certain of Pure Multi’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, mortgage 
reserve fund, credit facility, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate the fair 
values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.   

The fair values of the mortgages payable and preferred units of subsidiary have been calculated based on discounted 
future cash flows using discount rates that reflect current market conditions for instruments having similar terms and 
conditions.  Discount rates are either provided by lenders or are observable in the open market.  The fair value of the 
convertible debentures has been calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

acquisitions  and  fair  value  increases  of  its  investment  properties.    As  at  December  31,  2014,  Pure  Multi  held  14 
investment properties comprising  4,308 residential units and 3,830,279 gross rentable square feet, compared to  13
investment properties with 3,614 residential units and 3,145,166 gross rentable square feet as at December 31, 2013. 

Total rental revenue from the investment properties was $48.5 million in 2014 compared to $31.6 million in 2013.  
This  increase  is  reflective  of  the  increase  in  the  number  of  days  the  investment  properties  were  operating  during 
2014  compared  to  2013,  due  to  the  timing  of  acquisitions,  coupled  with  the  organic  growth  in  rental  revenue 
achieved at the investment properties operated during both periods. 

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS 

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, based on Pure Multi’s interest: 

(cid:120)

Assets  increased  to  $492,790,552  from  $480,829,616  as  at  September  30,  2014.    This  increase  was 
primarily due to the fair value increase adjustment on current investment properties.  As at December 31,
2014,  Pure  Multi  had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $16,490,085  and  amounts  receivable  of  $486,118, 
compared to $11,280,271 and $57,063, respectively, as at September 30, 2014. The increase in cash and 
cash equivalents is primarily due to the net proceeds received from the sale of Windscape.

Liabilities  decreased  to  $294,992,745  from  $298,809,924  as  at  September  30,  2014.    This  decrease  was
primarily due to the Windscape mortgage being paid upon sale of the investment property. 

Partners’  capital  increased  to  $197,797,807  from  $182,019,692  as  at  September  30,  2014.    This  increase 
was primarily due to the net income earned by Pure Multi during the period, and was partially offset by the 
distributions declared to unitholders. 

Pure Multi earned rental revenue of $13,995,547 from investment properties held during the quarter (three 
months  ended  December  31,  2013  -  $10,443,174).    These  properties  incurred  operating  expenses  of 
$6,335,869, resulting  in  net  rental  income  of  $7,659,678  during  the  same  period  (three  months  ended 
December 31, 2013 - $4,910,324 and $5,532,850, respectively).  The significant increase in rental revenue, 
operating  expenses  and  net  rental  income  was  as  a  result  of  Pure  Multi  operating  additional  investment 
properties in the current period compared to the comparative period. 

Pure Multi incurred interest expense of $3,035,975 and distributions to subsidiary’s preferred unitholders of 
$3,906 (three months ended  December 31, 2013 - $2,368,995 and $3,907, respectively).  This resulted in 
net  finance  expenses  of  $3,038,989  during  the  same  period  (three  months  ended  December  31,  2013  - 
$2,372,453). The significant increases in net finance expenses was a direct result the additional number of 
mortgages  and  investment  properties  operated  by  Pure  Multi  in  the  current  period  compared  to  the 
comparative period. 

Pure  Multi  incurred  general  and  administrative  expenses  of  $208,671, fair  value  gain  on  investment 
properties  of  $15,132,158,  incurred  franchise  tax  expense  of  $93,608  and  incurred  a  loss  on  disposal  of 
investment  property  of  $235,421  (three  months  ended  December  31,  2013  -  $186,460,  $5,533,088, 
$255,670 and $nil, respectively).

During the three months ended  December 31, 2014, based on Pure Multi’s interest, Pure Multi had net income of 
$19,215,762 (three months ended December 31, 2013 - $8,251,860), as a result of the above transactions.

SECTION IV 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and 
liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements,  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the 
reporting  period.    Pure  Multi’s  significant  accounting  policies  are  described  in  note  3  to  the  December  31,  2014 
audited consolidated financial statements. 

The policies that are most subject to estimation and judgment are outlined below. 

Valuation of Investment Properties 

The  fair  value  of  the  investment  properties  is  determined  by  management,  using  recognized  valuation  techniques 
supported, in certain instances, by independent real estate valuation experts. 

The determination of the fair value of investment properties requires the use of estimates such as future cash flows 
from assets (based on factors such as tenant profiles, future revenue streams and overall repair and condition of the 
property),  capitalization  rates  and  discount  rates  applicable  to  those  assets.    These  estimates  are  based  on  market 
conditions existing at the reporting date. 

The  following  approaches,  either  individually  or  in  combination,  are  used  by  management,  together  with  the 
appraisals, in their determination of the fair value of the investment properties: 

The  Income  Approach  derives  market  value  by  estimating  the  future  cash  flows  that  will  be  generated  by  the 
property and then applying an appropriate capitalization rate or discount rate to those cash flows.  This approach can 
utilize the direct capitalization method and/or the discounted cash flow analysis. 

The  Direct  Comparison  Approach  involves  comparing  or  contrasting  the  recent  sale,  listing  or  optioned  prices  of 
properties comparable to the subject and adjusting for any significant differences between them. 

Management reviews each appraisal obtained and ensures the assumptions used by the appraisers are reasonable and 
the final fair value amount reflects those assumptions used in the various approaches above.  Where an appraisal is 
not obtained at the reporting date, management uses the approaches described above, for each investment property, 
and estimates the fair value. 

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES 

Pure Multi’s significant accounting policies are described in note 3 to the December 31, 2014 audited consolidated 
financial 
statements,  available  on  SEDAR  at  www.sedar.com  or  on  Pure  Multi’s  website  at 
www.puremultifamily.com. 

Adoption of new accounting policies 

(a)   IAS 32 – Financial instruments: presentation 

In  December  2011,  the  IASB  made  amendments  to  IAS  32,  Financial  Instruments:  Presentation.    The 
amendments to IAS 32 clarify the requirements for offsetting financial instruments.  The amended version of 
IAS 32 is effective for Pure Multi’s year-end beginning January 1, 2014, with early adoption permitted.  The 
adoption of amendments to IAS 32 did not have an impact on Pure Multi’s consolidated financial statements.

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

(b) 

IFRIC 21 – Levies 

January 1, 2014, Pure Multi has retrospectively adopted IFRIC interpretation 21,  Levies (“IFRIC 21”) for the 
period beginning January 1, 2013.  IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the 
activity  that  triggers  payment  occurs,  as  identified  by  the  relevant  legislation.   IFRIC  21  is  applicable  to  all 
levies imposed by governments under legislation, including property taxes, but does  not apply to accounting 
for income taxes, fines and penalties or for the acquisition of assets from governments.  The adoption of IFRIC 
21 requires Pure Multi to recognize the full amount of annual property tax liabilities at the point in time when 
the  property  tax  obligation  is  imposed.   Pure  Multi  previously  recognized  property  tax  liabilities  and  related 
expenses  on  a  pro  rata  basis  throughout  the  year.   Therefore,  the  adoption  of  IFRIC  21  has  resulted  in  Pure 
Multi recording an annual property tax expense earlier than previously recognized.  Typically property  taxes 
are adjusted for when the property is sold between buyer and seller based on days of ownership in the year.  To 
avoid  double  counting,  a  fair  value  adjustment  to  investments  properties  has  been  recorded  by  an  amount 
equivalent to the property tax expense which pertains to the periods beyond the current reporting period.  The 
effect of the implementation  of IFRIC 21 has been applied retrospectively to the comparative periods and is 
disclosed in note 4 to the December 31, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective 

(c) 

IFRS 9 - Financial instruments 

In  November  2009,  as  part  of  the  IASB’s  project  to  replace  International  Accounting  Standard  (“IAS”)  39, 
Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement,  the  IASB  issued  the  first  phase  of  IFRS  9,  Financial 
Instruments,  which  introduces  new  requirements  for  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets.  
The standard was revised in October 2010 to include requirements regarding classification and measurement of 
financial liabilities and is applicable for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2018.  The full impact of 
the  changes  in  accounting  for  financial  instruments  will  not  be  known  until  the  IASB’s  project  has  been 
completed. 

(d) 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

In  May  2014,  the  IASB  issued  IFRS  15,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers (“IFRS 15”).    The  new 
standard provides a comprehensive  five-step revenue recognition  model  for all contracts  with customers and 
requires  management  to  exercise  significant  judgment  and  make  estimates  that  affect  revenue  recognition.  
IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with earlier adoption permitted.  
Pure Multi has not yet reviewed the impact of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements.

SECTION V 

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 

All  income  producing  property  investments  are  subject  to a  degree  of  risk  and  uncertainty.    They  are  affected  by 
various factors including general market conditions and local market circumstances.  An example of general market 
conditions would be the availability of long-term financing whereas local conditions would relate to factors affecting 
specific properties in a particular geographic location, such as changes in market lease rates as a result of an over- 
supply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate.  Management attempts to manage these risks by acquiring 
investment  properties  in  various  cities  with  strong  economic  and  growth  indicators,  and  engaging  property 
management groups with local knowledge and experience. 

43

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

The board of directors of the Governing GP has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Pure 
Multi’s risk management framework.  Pure Multi’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze 
the risks faced by Pure Multi, 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  in 
response to Pure Multi’s activities.

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  Pure  Multi  is  exposed  to  a  number  of  risks  that  can  affect  its  operating 
performance.  These risks, and the actions taken to manage them, are as follows: 

Interest Rate and Financial Risk 

Interest  rate  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  the  value  of,  or  cash  flows  related  to,  a  financial  instrument  will 
fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.  Pure Multi is exposed to financial risk from the interest rate 
differentials between the market rate and the rates used on these financial instruments. 

Pure  Multi  manages  its  financial  instruments  and  interest  rate  risks  based  on  its  cash  flow  needs.    Pure  Multi 
minimizes  interest  rate  risk  by  obtaining  long-term,  fixed  rate  mortgages  whenever  possible.    It  targets  a 
conservative  ratio  of  debt  to  gross  book  value  within  the  range  of  55%  to  65%  and  is  restricted  under  the  LP 
Agreement to a maximum of 70%.  The credit facility is the only financial instrument that bears interest at a variable 
rate, as currently all mortgages payable bear interest at fixed rates; therefore Pure Multi currently is not exposed to 
significant interest rate risk. 

The profile of Pure Multi’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Pure Multi if a tenant, customer or counterparty to a financial instrument 
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from Pure Multi’s receivables from tenants.

Pure Multi’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each tenant.  Pure Multi, 
through  the  US  REIT,  minimizes  the  risk  by  checking  tenants’  credit  histories,  requesting  security  deposits  and 
initiating a prompt collection process.  In addition, there is no concentration of credit risk due to the large number of 
individual tenants. 

44

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP 

MD&A – December 31, 2014 

Currency Risk 

Pure Multi is exposed to minimal currency risk since a small portion of the expenses is in Canadian dollars. 

Lease Rollover Risk

Lease  rollover  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  Pure  Multi  may  experience  difficulty  renewing  leases  as  they 
expire or in re-leasing space vacated by tenants upon lease expiry.  All leases of Pure Multi’s investment properties 
have lease terms of one year or less.  Typically, Pure Multi instructs its property managers to initiate the renewal 
process before the existing leases expire.  For any vacant spaces, Pure Multi uses qualified leasing agents to actively 
market the spaces. 

Class A Unit Prices 

It is not possible to predict the price at which units will trade and there can be no assurance that an active trading 
market for the Class A Units will be sustained.  The Class A Units will not necessarily trade at values determined 
solely by reference  to the  value of the investment properties of  Pure Multi.    Accordingly, the  Class  A Units  may 
trade at a premium or discount to the value implied by the value of Pure Multi’s investment properties.  The market 
price for the Class A Units may be affected by changes in general market conditions, fluctuations in the markets for 
equity securities and numerous other factors beyond Pure Multi’s control.  

Environmental Risk 

As  an  owner  of  real  property,  Pure  Multi  is  subject  to  various  federal,  state  and  municipal  laws  relating  to 
environmental matters.   

Management  carries  out  environmental  inspections,  by  qualified  environmental  consultants,  before  a  property  is 
purchased.  Management is not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental laws with respect to the 
current portfolio and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations or actions by environmental regulatory 
authorities in connection with the current portfolio. 

Liquidity Risk 

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 Pure Multi’s 
ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions.  If Pure Multi were 
required  to  liquidate  a  real  property  investment,  the  proceeds  to  Pure  Multi  might  be  significantly  less  than  the 
aggregate carrying value of such property. 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  Pure  Multi  will  not  be  able  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  as  they  fall  due.    Pure 
Multi’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash available to meet its liabilities 
when due.  In addition, Pure Multi intends to refinance any mortgages which mature within six months.

Tax Risk

The US REIT currently qualifies as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the US 
REIT is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. If the US REIT does not qualify or ceases to qualify as a REIT under 
the REIT exception, adverse consequences could arise including a material reduction of distributions to unitholders 
and Pure Multi. 

There can be no assurance that Canadian or U.S. federal income tax laws regarding the treatment of REITs will not 
be changed, or that administrative and assessment practices of the Canada Revenue Agency or IRS will not develop 
in a manner which adversely affects Pure Multi or its unitholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 

To the Directors of Pure Multi-Family REIT (GP) Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pure Multi-Family REIT LP, 
which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 
the consolidated statements of partners’ capital, income and comprehensive income, and cash flows 
for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial 
statements  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards,  and  for  such  internal 
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. 
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to 
obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  from 
material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures 
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including 
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether 
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the 
entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as 
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  in  our  audits  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to 
provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG 
network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative 
(“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”)

b.  Basis of measurement 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment 
properties which have been measured at fair value. 

The preparation of these consolidated financial  statements requires the use of certain critical accounting 
estimates.    It  also  requires  management  to  exercise  judgment  in  the  process  of  applying  Pure  Multi’s 
accounting  policies.    Areas  involving  a  higher  degree  of  judgment  or  complexity,  or  areas  where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3(P).

expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months from the reporting date and non-current assets 
and liabilities are those  where the recovery or settlement is expected to occur more than twelve  months 
from the reporting date.  Pure Multi classifies the statements of income and comprehensive income using

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set 
out below.  The accounting policies have been applied consistently by group entities unless otherwise stated. 

A. Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Pure Multi and its subsidiaries, 
over which Pure Multi has control.  Control exists when Pure Multi has the power to govern the financial 
and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities.  The financial statements of 
subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that control commences and continue to be consolidated until 
the date that control ceases. 

On October 1, 2013, Pure Multi entered into a co-ownership agreement with another party in the form of a 
limited  partnership.    The  entity  operated  in  the  same  way  as  other  entities,  except  that  contractual 
arrangements between the two partners established joint control over the economic activities of the entity.  
Each partner did not have rights to individual assets or liabilities of the entities, but was entitled to a share 
of the outcome of activities of the arrangement.  Pure Multi accounted for its interest in the jointly controlled 
entity using the equity method.  Under the equity method, the interest in the joint venture is carried in the 
consolidated statement of financial position at purchase price plus any post acquisition  changes in Pure 
Multi`s share of the net assets. On August 28, 2014, Pure Multi acquired the remaining ownership interest 
in the jointly controlled entity, giving it 100% control of the entity and its underlying investment property.
As of August 28, 2014, the date control was established, Pure Multi began accounting for this investment 
property using the consolidation method. 

Intra-group  transactions  and  balances  are  eliminated  in  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  
The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of 
Pure Multi and its subsidiaries. 

B. Property acquisitions and business combinations 

Where property is acquired, management considers the substance of the agreement in determining whether 
the acquisition represents the acquisition of a property or a business combination.  The basis of the judgment 
is set out in note 3(P). 

Where such acquisitions are not judged to be a business combination, they are treated as asset acquisitions.  
The cost to acquire the property, including transaction costs, is allocated between the identifiable assets 
acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  based  on  their  relative  fair  values  at  the  acquisition  date.    Otherwise, 
acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination.

C. Investment properties 

Investment properties are comprised of properties held to earn rental revenue or for capital appreciation or 
both.  Investment properties are measured initially at cost including transaction costs.  Transaction  costs 
include  transfer  taxes,  professional  fees  for  legal  services  and  initial  leasing  commissions  to  bring  the 
property to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating. 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  investment  properties  are  measured  at  fair  value  and  related  gains  or 
losses  on  the  disposal  of  an  investment  property  are  determined  as  the  difference  between  net  disposal 
proceeds and the carrying value of the asset on the date the transaction occurred.  Pure Multi defines fair 
value to be the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market  participants  at  the  measurement  date.    Therefore,  the  fair  value  of  recently  acquired  investment 
property would be the purchase price.  Any subsequent valuations performed on an investment property, 
after the acquisition date, would be the new basis for the fair value recorded on the investment property.  
Gains  or  losses  arising  from  changes  in  fair  values  are  included  in  the  statement  of  income  and 
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

An investment property is derecognized when it has been disposed of or permanently withdrawn from use 
and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.  Any gains or losses on the retirement or 
disposal of an investment property are recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income 
in the period of retirement or disposal. 

D. Leases 

Leases are classified according to the substance of the transaction.  Leases that transfer substantially all the 
risks and benefits of ownership from Pure Multi to the lessees are accounted for as finance leases.  All 
current leases of Pure Multi are operating leases. 

E. Convertible debentures 

Convertible debentures issued by Pure Multi are converted into Class A units (each a “Class A Unit”) of 
Pure Multi at the option of the holder, and the number of Class A units to be issued does not vary with 
changes in their fair value. 

Upon issuance, convertible debentures are separated into their debt and  conversion feature components.  
The  debt  component  of  the  convertible  debenture  is  recognized  initially  at  fair  value  of  a  similar  debt 
instrument  without  a  conversion  feature.    Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  the  debt  component  of  a 
compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 

The conversion feature of the convertible debentures is initially recognized at fair value.  The convertible 
debentures are convertible into Class  A Units at  the  holder’s option.   As a result of this obligation, the 
convertible  debentures  are  exchangeable  into  equity  (the  Class  A  Units  are  equity  by  definition)  and 
accordingly the conversion feature component of the convertible debentures is also equity.  Accordingly, 
the conversion feature component of the convertible debentures is recorded in the consolidated statement 
of partners’ capital.

Any  directly  attributable  transaction  costs  are  allocated  to  the  debt  and  conversion  components  of  the 
convertible debentures in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

F. Revenue recognition 

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease subject to ultimate collection 
being reasonably assured.  Revenue includes recoveries of specified operating expenses, in accordance with 
the terms of the lease agreements.  Recoveries are recognized in the period in which the related operating 
expense was incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. 

G. Finance income (expenses) 

Finance income (expenses) consists of interest income, mortgage interest, credit facility interest, convertible 
debenture interest, distributions to preferred unitholders and preferred unit offering costs.  Finance income 
is recognized in the period in which it is earned, while finance expenses are recognized in the period in 
which they are incurred.   

H. Translation of foreign currency 

The  functional  and  reporting  currency  of  Pure  Multi  is  United  States  dollars.    Pure  Multi  has  certain 
transactions  in  Canadian  dollars.    Monetary  items  are  translated  at  the  exchange  rate  in  effect  at  the 
statement  of  financial  position  date  and  non-monetary  items  are  translated  at  historical  exchange  rates.  
Revenue and expense items are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the dates they occur.  Realized 
and unrealized exchange gains and losses are included in earnings. 

I. Financial instruments 

Non-derivative financial assets and non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, 
and  their  subsequent  measurement  is  dependent  on  their  classification  as  described  below.    The 
classification depends on the purpose for which the  financial instruments  were acquired or issued, their 
characteristics and Pure Multi’s designation of such instruments.

Pure Multi classifies its financial instruments as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents
Amounts receivable
Mortgage reserve fund
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Credit facility
Convertible debentures
Preferred units of subsidiary
Mortgages payable

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market.  These assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction 
costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition, they are accounted for at amortized cost, using the effective interest 
rate method, less any impairment losses. 

Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  are  recognized  initially  at  fair  value  plus  any  directly  attributable 
transaction costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are accounted for at amortized 
cost, using the effective interest rate method.

J. Fair value 

Pure Multi measures investment properties at fair value at each balance sheet date.  The fair value is the 
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  In certain circumstances, the 
initial fair value may be based on other observable current market transactions, without modification or on 
a valuation technique using market based inputs. 

Fair value measurements recognized in the statement of financial position are categorized in accordance 
with the following levels: 

(cid:120) Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
(cid:120) Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or valuation techniques where 

significant inputs are based on observable market data. 

(cid:120) Level 3: Valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. 

K. Impairment of financial assets 

At  each  reporting  date,  Pure Multi  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  is 
impaired.  If a financial asset carried at amortized cost is impaired, the amount of the loss is measured as 
the difference between the amortized cost of the loan or receivable and the present value of the estimated 
future cash flows, discounted using the instrument’s original effective interest rate.  The loss is recognized 
in impairment expense. 

L. Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, and cash held at banks or other financial institutions 
where cash is readily available to access. 

M. Earnings per unit 

Basic and diluted earnings per Class A and Class B unit have been calculated based on the proportion of 
the earnings allocated to the respective class of units, and the respective weighted average number of Class 
A units and Class B units outstanding.   

N. Taxes 

a.

Income Taxes 

Pure Multi is not subject to tax under Part I of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”).  Each partner 
of Pure Multi is required to include in computing the partner’s income for a particular taxation year the 
partner’s share of the income or loss of Pure Multi for its fiscal year ending in or on the partner’s taxation 
year-end,  whether  or  not  any  of  that  income  or  loss  is  distributed  to  the  partner  in  the  taxation  year.  
Accordingly, no provision has been made for Canadian income taxes under Part I of the Tax Act. 

62

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

The Tax Act contains rules regarding the taxation of certain types of publicly listed or traded trusts and 
partnerships and their investors (the “SIFT Measures”).  A specified investment flow-through partnership 
(a “SIFT partnership”, as defined in the Tax Act) will be subject to SIFT tax on its “taxable non-portfolio 
earnings”  (as  defined  in  the  Tax  Act)  at  a  rate  that  is  substantially  equivalent  to  the  general  tax  rate 
applicable to Canadian corporations.  The “taxable non-portfolio earnings” less SIFT tax payable by a SIFT 
partnership will also be included in computing income of the Unitholder for purposes of the Tax Act as 
though it were a taxable dividend from a taxable Canadian corporation, subject to the detailed provisions 
of the Tax Act.  The SIFT Measures do not apply to a partnership that does not hold any “non-portfolio 
property” throughout the taxation year of the partnership. Management believes that the Pure Multi does 
not hold any “non-portfolio property” and should not be a SIFT partnership and therefore not subject to the 
SIFT Measures.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for tax under the SIFT Measures.  Management 
intends to continue to operate Pure Multi in such a manner so as to remain exempt from the SIFT Measures 
on a continuous basis in the future.  If Pure Multi becomes a SIFT partnership it will be generally subject 
to  income  taxes  at  a  rate  that  is  substantially  equivalent  to  the  general  tax  rate  applicable  to  Canadian 
corporations on its taxable non-portfolio earnings, if any. 

Pure Multi made a protective election to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  
In  addition,  at  least  90% of  Pure  Multi’s  gross  income  is  expecting  to  be  qualifying  income  within  the 
meaning of U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) section 7704 and Pure Multi is not required to register 
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  As such, it is generally not subject 
to U.S. federal income tax under the Code.  Furthermore, Pure Multi’s subsidiary, the US REIT, timely 
made and intends to maintain an election to be taxed as a U.S. real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under 
the Code and to take the necessary steps to qualify as a REIT pursuant to the  Code.  In order for the US 
REIT  to  qualify  as  a  REIT,  the  US  REIT  must  meet  a  number  of  organizational  and  operational 
requirements, including a requirement to make annual dividend distributions to its shareholders equal to a 
minimum of 90% of its REIT taxable income, computed without regards to a dividends paid deduction and 
net capital gains.  As a REIT, the US REIT generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its 
taxable income to the extent such income is distributed as a dividend to shareholders annually.  Management 
believes that all REIT conditions necessary to eliminate income taxes for the reporting period have been 
met, and accordingly no provision for US federal and state income taxes has been made.   

Management intends to operate the US REIT in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT on a continuous 
basis  in  the  future.    However,  actual  qualification  as  a  REIT  will  depend  upon  meeting,  through  actual 
annual and quarterly operating results, the various conditions imposed by the Code.  If the US REIT fails 
to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to US federal and state income taxes at regular 
US corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.  In addition, the US REIT may not 
be able to requalify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years.  Even if the US REIT qualifies for 
taxation as a  REIT, the US REIT may be subject to certain US  state and local taxes on its income and 
property, and to US federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income and/or specified 
types of income in certain circumstances. 

b. Texas Franchise Tax 

Texas Franchise Tax applicable to Pure Multi, for its investment properties operated in Texas, is equal to 
1% of the lesser of: (i) 70% of total revenue; (ii) 100% of total revenue less cost of goods sold; or (iii) 100% 
of total revenue less compensation expense.  Pure Multi has recorded a provision for Texas Franchise Tax 
of $329,145 for the year ended December 31, 2014 (year ended December 31, 2013 - $255,670), which is 
included within other expenses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

O. Operating segments 

Pure Multi currently operates in one business segment, the owning and operating of multifamily apartment 
properties in the sun-belt area in the United States.  The primary format for segment reporting is based on 
geographical region and is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-
maker, determined to be the general partners.

P. Significant accounting judgments and estimates 

Judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported 
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Actual results may 
differ from these estimates. 

a.

Judgments

In the process of applying Pure Multi’s accounting policies, management has made the following critical 
judgments,  which  have  the  most  significant  effects  on  the  amounts  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
financial statements: 

(i) Asset acquisitions

Pure  Multi,  through  the  US  REIT,  acquires  individual  real  estate  properties.  At  the  time  of 
acquisition,  Pure  Multi  considers  whether  or  not  the  acquisition  represents  the  acquisition  of  a 
business. Pure Multi accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where an integrated set 
of activities is acquired in addition to the property. More specifically, consideration is made to the 
extent to which significant processes are acquired and, in particular, the extent of ancillary services 
provided by the property (e.g., maintenance, cleaning, security, bookkeeping, etc.).  

When the acquisition of a property does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition 
of  a  group  of  assets  and  liabilities.  The  cost  of  the  acquisition,  including  transaction  costs,  is 
allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values, and no goodwill 
or deferred tax is recognized. 

All acquisitions to date by Pure Multi have been determined to be asset acquisitions. 

b. Estimates

The significant areas of estimation include the following: 

(i) Valuation of investment properties

The  fair  value  of  the  investment  properties  is  determined  by  management,  using  recognized 
valuation techniques supported, in certain instances, by independent real estate valuation experts. 

The determination of the fair value of investment properties requires the use of estimates such as 
future cash flows from assets (based on factors such as tenant profiles, future revenue streams and 
overall repair and condition of the property), capitalization rates and discount rates applicable to 
those assets.  These estimates are based on market conditions existing at the reporting date. 

The following approaches, either individually or in combination, are used by management, together 
with the appraisals, in their determination of the fair value of the investment properties: 

64

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

The  Income  Approach  derives  market  value  by  estimating  the  future  cash  flows  that  will  be 
generated by the property and then applying an appropriate capitalization rate or discount rate to 
those cash flows.  This approach can utilize the direct capitalization method and/or the discounted 
cash flow analysis. 

The  Direct  Comparison  Approach  involves  comparing  or  contrasting  the  recent  sale,  listing  or 
optioned prices of properties comparable to the subject and adjusting for any significant differences 
between them. 

Management reviews each appraisal obtained and ensures the assumptions used by the appraisers 
are  reasonable  and  the  final  fair  value  amount  reflects  those  assumptions  used  in  the  various 
approaches above.  Where an appraisal is not obtained at the reporting date, management uses the 
approaches described above, for each investment property, and estimates the fair value. 

The  significant  assumptions  used  by  management  in  estimating  the  fair  value  of  investment 
properties are set out in note 5. 

Q. Provisions 

Provisions are recognized by Pure Multi when: i) Pure Multi has a present legal or constructive obligation 
as  a  result  of  past  events;  ii)  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  will  be  required  to  settle  the 
obligation;  and  iii)  the  amount  can  be  reasonably  estimated.    If  the  time  value  of  money  is  material, 
provisions are discounted using a current rate that reflects the risk profile of the liability, and the increase 
to the provision due to the passage of time will be recognized as interest expenses. 

R. Future changes in accounting policies 

(i) Adoption of new accounting policies

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities 

In December 2011, the IASB made amendments to IAS 32,  Financial Instruments: Presentation.
The  amendments  to  IAS  32  clarify  the  requirements  for  offsetting  financial  instruments.    The 
amended version of IAS 32 is effective for Pure Multi’s year-end beginning January 1, 2014, with 
early adoption permitted.  The adoption of amendments to IAS 32 did not have an impact on Pure 
Multi’s consolidated financial statements.

Levies 

Effective January 1, 2014, Pure Multi has retrospectively adopted IFRIC interpretation 21,  Levies
(“IFRIC 21”) for the period beginning January 1, 2013.  IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes 
a liability for a levy  when the activity that triggers payment occurs, as identified by the relevant 
legislation.  IFRIC 21 is applicable to all levies imposed by governments under legislation, including 
property  taxes,  but  does  not  apply  to  accounting  for  income  taxes,  fines  and  penalties  or  for  the 
acquisition of assets from governments.  The adoption of IFRIC 21 requires Pure Multi to recognize 
the full amount of annual property tax liabilities at the point in time when the property tax obligation 
is imposed.  Pure Multi previously recognized property tax liabilities and related expenses on a pro 
rata  basis  throughout  the  year.    Therefore,  the  adoption  of  IFRIC  21  has  resulted  in  Pure  Multi 
recording an annual property tax expense earlier than previously recognized.  Typically  property 
taxes are adjusted for when the property is sold between buyer and seller based on days of ownership 
in the year.  To avoid double counting, a fair value adjustment to investments properties has been 
recorded by an amount equivalent to the property tax expense which pertains to the periods beyond 
the  current  reporting  period.    The  effect  of  the  implementation  of  IFRIC  21  has  been  applied 
retrospectively to the comparative periods and is disclosed in note 4.

(ii) Future accounting policy changes 

Financial instruments: classification and measurement 

In  November  2009,  as  part  of  the  IASB’s  project  to  replace  International  Accounting  Standard 
(“IAS”) 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the IASB issued the first phase 
of  IFRS  9,  Financial  Instruments,  which  introduces  new  requirements  for  the  classification  and 
measurement of financial assets.  The standard was revised in October 2010 to include requirements 
regarding classification and measurement of financial liabilities and is applicable for annual periods 
starting  on  or  after  January  1,  2018.   The  full  impact  of  the  changes  in  accounting  for  financial 
instruments will not be known until the IASB’s project has been completed. 

Revenue recognition 

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”).  The 
new standard provides a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model for all contracts with 
customers and requires management to exercise significant judgment and make estimates that affect 
revenue recognition.  IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, 
with  earlier  adoption  permitted.    Pure  Multi  has  not  yet  reviewed  the  impact  of  IFRS  15  on  the 
consolidated financial statements.

4.

ADOPTION OF IFRIC 21 

Effective January 1, 2014, Pure Multi has adopted IFRIC 21, as disclosed in note 3, in accordance with the 
transitional provisions.  The following table provides a reconciliation of the impact of the adoption of IFRIC 
21 on Pure Multi’s consolidated financial statements.

IFRS Impact on the consolidated statements of cash flows 

The IFRS adjustments made to the comparative Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the year 
ended December 31, 2013 have been made to the Statement of Cash Flows as at the same date.

On June 27, 2014, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, acquired Walker Commons, a multi-family apartment 
community  (“Walker  Commons”),  located  in  Houston,  Texas,  for  a  purchase  price  of  $43,800,000,  plus 
standard closing costs and adjustments. As part of the adjustments made on closing, Pure Multi agreed to pay 
to  the  seller,  Sunstone  U.S.  Opportunity  (No.  2)  Realty  Trust  (see  related  party  note  18),  an  amount  of 
$1,689,631, for a portion of the mortgage buyout costs that were equal to the fair market value adjustment that 
Pure Multi would have incurred if it had assumed the mortgage as part of the acquisition.  This additional cost 
was treated as an acquisition cost at the time of the acquisition. This acquisition was financed with cash and a 
new 5 year mortgage in the amount of $28,470,000. 

On  August  28,  2014,  Pure  Multi,  through  the  US  REIT,  acquired  Preserve  at  Arbor  Hills,  a  multi-family 
apartment community (“Preserve”), located in Plano, Texas, for a purchase price of $41,000,000, plus standard 
closing  costs  and  adjustments.   This  acquisition  was  financed  with  cash  and  a  new  7  year  mortgage  in  the 
amount of $24,600,000. 

On August 28, 2014, Pure Multi, through the US REIT,  acquired the remaining 80% interest in San Brisas 
Apartments, a multi-family apartment community (“San Brisas”), located in Chandler, Arizona, for a purchase 
price of $22,640,000, plus standard closing costs and adjustments. As part of the adjustments made on closing, 
Pure Multi agreed to pay to the seller, Sunstone U.S. Opportunity (No. 2) Realty Trust (see related party note 
18), an amount of $1,236,807, for a portion of the mortgage buyout costs that were equal to the fair market 
value adjustment that Pure Multi would have incurred if it had assumed the mortgage as part of the acquisition.  
This additional cost was treated as an acquisition cost at the time of the acquisition.  After this acquisition, Pure 
Multi had a 100% ownership interest in San Brisas, as it first acquired a 20% interest in the investment property 
on October 1, 2013.  Pure Multi’s initial 20% ownership interest is reflected in the table above by way of a 
transfer-in  from  an  equity-accounted  investment  at  fair  market  value  of  $5,660,000.    This  acquisition  was 
financed with cash and a new 7 year mortgage in the amount of $16,980,000. 

On December 18, 2014, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, sold Windscape Apartment Homes, a multi-family 
apartment community (“Windscape”), located in Dallas, Texas, for a sale price of $10,500,000, plus standard 
closing costs and adjustments.  The mortgage payable, secured by Windscape, was paid off in full as of the 
same date. 

The loss on disposal of Windscape as at December 31, 2014, is determined as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

The fair value of the investment properties has been determined on a market value basis.  As set out in note 
3(P), in arriving at their estimates of market values, management and the independent appraisers have used 
their  market  knowledge  and  professional  judgment  and  did  not  rely  solely  on  historical  transactional 
comparisons. 

When obtained, appraisals were performed by accredited independent appraisers with recognized and relevant 
professional qualifications and with recent experience in the location and category of the investment property 
being valued.  Management reviews each appraisal and ensures that the assumptions used below are reasonable 
and the final fair value amount reflects those assumptions used in the determination of the fair market values 
of the properties. 

Pure Multi does not expect to obtain appraisals for each property at each reporting date.  Where  Pure Multi 
does not obtain an appraisal for a specific investment property at the reporting date, management uses specific 
indicators (i.e. market conditions, discount rate changes, etc.) and determines whether a change in fair value 
has occurred. During the year ended December 31, 2014, Pure Multi obtained independent appraisals on 93% 
of  the  investment  properties at  December  31, 2014  (December  31,  2013  –  100%).  Therefore  management 
undertook its own valuation process, as described above, on the investment properties where no independent 
appraisal was obtained. 

The significant assumptions made relating to the valuations of the investment properties are set out below:

EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTMENT 

On October 1, 2013, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, acquired a 19.99% interest in Sunstone San Brisas LP 
and a 20% interest in Sunstone San Brisas Apartments, LLC (collectively referred to as ”San Brisas”), located 
in Chandler, Arizona, for a purchase price of $5,600,000, plus standard closing costs and adjustments.   This 
acquisition was financed with cash and the assumption of a mortgage in the amount of $2,755,967 bearing a 
rate of interest of 5.63%.  As the stated rate of the assumed mortgage is greater than the current market rate of 
interest, an adjustment of $206,913 was determined to increase the assumed mortgage to market value and has 
been included in the determination of the cost of this acquisition. The mark to market adjustment of the assumed 
mortgage is amortized over the remaining term on an effective interest rate basis, which reduces the effective 
interest rate over the current term of the mortgage.  

On August 28, 2014, as described in note 5 to these consolidated financial statements, Pure Multi acquired the 
remaining 80% interest in San Brisas, resulting in a 100% ownership interest of the investment property. As a 
result of this transaction, as of August 28, 2014, Pure Multi’s interest in San Brisas is no longer measured using 
the equity method but instead the consolidation method. 

During the periods reported below, Pure Multi’s significant interest in the joint venture was a 20% share in the 
ownership of a 208-unit property, San Brisas, located in Chandler, Arizona.  This investment  was measured 
using the equity method:

MORTGAGE RESERVE FUND 

The mortgage reserve fund consists of cash on deposit requested by the lenders to be retained in escrow to pay 
for any repairs to the properties and certain costs.  These funds will be released to pay the respective obligations 
or once certain conditions are met, such as completion of repairs.  The term of the mortgage reserve fund is 
less than 12 months. 

8.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

Included in cash and cash equivalents is $4,720,490 of cash  held in trust by an escrow agency.   This cash 
represents the net proceeds received from the sale of the Windscape investment property.  This cash is readily 
available and will be released in less than 12 months, therefore is classified as a current asset.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On August 7, 2013, Pure Multi issued $23,000,000 of 6.5% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures 
(“6.5%  convertible  debentures”)  due  on  September  30,  2020.    Each  of  the  6.5%  convertible  debentures  is
denominated with a face value of $1,000 and is convertible at the holder’s option at any time into Class A Units
at conversion price of $5.65 per Class A Unit, in accordance with the terms of the trust indenture dated August 
7, 2013.  On or after September 30, 2016, but prior to September 30, 2018, the 6.5% convertible debentures 
may be redeemed by Pure Multi, in whole or in part, at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and 
unpaid interest thereon, provided the weighted average trading price of the Class A Units for the 20 consecutive 
trading days, ending on the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date on which notice of redemption is 
given, is at least 125% of the conversion price.  After September 30, 2018, the 6.5% convertible debentures 
may be redeemed by Pure Multi at any time.  During the  year ended December 31, 2014, none of the 6.5% 
convertible debentures have been converted into Class A Units.  At December 31, 2014, $23,000,000 of the 
face value of the 6.5% convertible debentures was outstanding.

PREFERRED UNITS OF SUBSIDIARY

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the US REIT issued 125 preferred units at $1,000 per unit for gross 
proceeds of $125,000.  On consolidation, the preferred units of the US REIT are reflected as a liability of Pure 
Multi.   

The preferred units are non-voting preferred units.  Unitholders holding preferred units are entitled to receive 
dividends from the US REIT at a per annum rate equal to 12.5%, payable on June 30 and December 31 of each 
year.    Unitholders  holding  preferred  units  will  be  allocated  such  return  in  priority  to  any  allocations  or 
distributions to all other classes and series of units of the US REIT.  However, after payment of such return to 
unitholders holding preferred units, preferred unitholders are not otherwise entitled to share in the income of 
the US REIT. 

73

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

The US REIT may redeem the preferred units at any time, for a price equal to $1,000 per preferred unit, plus 
accumulated and unpaid distributions and a redemption premium if the preferred units are redeemed before 
January 1, 2015.  The redemption premium is equal to $100 per preferred unit if redemption occurs on or before 
December 31, 2014. There is no redemption premium for redemptions after December 31, 2014. 

Due to the fixed distributions and preferred treatment for preferred units, they meet the definition of a liability.  
In addition, the Board does not expect to redeem any preferred units within the next year.  Thus, the preferred 
units are classified as non-current liabilities. 

Pure  Multi  declared  distributions  of  $15,625  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014  to  the  preferred 
unitholders (year ended December 31, 2013 – $14,888).

CREDIT FACILITY

On July 19, 2013, Pure Multi established a revolving credit facility with a lender in the amount of $9,900,000.  
At December 31, 2014 there was $5,546,485 outstanding (December 31, 2013 - $5,396,485).  The revolving 
credit facility is interest bearing at a variable interest rate based at 2.00% plus the London Interbank Offered 
Rate (“LIBOR”).  The revolving credit facility is secured by a charge in respect of Windsong and matures on
July 19, 2016.

PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

A.

Limited Partners and General Partner 

The capital of Pure Multi consists of an unlimited number of units of Pure Multi and the interest held by the 
Governing GP.  The Governing GP has made a capital contribution of $20 to Pure Multi and has no further 
obligation to contribute capital.  

From  date  of  formation  on  May  8,  2012  to  December  31,  2012  (“period  ended  December  31,  2012”),  the 
Managing GP subscribed for 200,000 Class B units (each a “Class B Unit”) of Pure Multi, at a price of $5.00 
per  Class  B  Unit,  for  gross  proceeds  to  Pure  Multi  of  $1,000,000,  which  entitles  the  Class  B  Unitholders, 
initially, a 5% interest in Pure Multi.  Pure Multi did not issue any additional Class B Units subsequent to this. 

From the date of formation, May 8, 2012, to December 31, 2013, Pure Multi issued 24,089,000 Class A Units 
for gross proceeds of $121,283,350, less offering costs.  

74

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

On May 21, 2014, Pure Multi issued, through a private placement, a total of 4,395,824 units (the “Units”), at a 
price of $4.55 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $20,000,999, less offering costs.  Each Unit consists of one Class 
A Unit and one-half Class A Unit purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant entitles 
the holder to acquire one additional Class A Unit from Pure Multi at a price of $5.15 per Class A Unit until 
November 20, 2016. 

On July 29, 2014, Pure Multi completed the closing of a public offering of 6,350,000 Class A Units on a bought 
deal basis, at a price of $4.75 per Class A Unit for gross proceeds of $30,162,500, less offering costs. 

Pure Multi is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A Units and Class B Units. 

The capital of Pure Multi is divided into Class A Units and Class B Units.  The Class A Units are the subject 
of the public offerings described in the Prospectus’ dated July 3, 2012, October 12, 2012, May 1, 2013 and 
July 22, 2014.  The Class B Units were subscribed for by the Managing GP on May 30, 2012.  Except as set 
out in the LP Agreement no Class A Unit or Class B Unit has any preference or priority over another.  

The Class A Units share in a 95% equity interest in all distributions and all net assets of Pure Multi and the 
Managing GP, as the holder of the Class B Units, share in a 5% equity interest in all distributions and all net 
assets of Pure Multi.  These respective interests, which are called the Class A Unit Percentage Interest and 
Class B Unit Percentage Interest, will remain fixed, notwithstanding the issue of further Class A  Units, until 
the occurrence of a Determination Event, as described below.  Following the occurrence of a Determination 
Event, the number of Class A Units to which the Class B Unitholder is entitled upon exercising Conversion 
Rights  becomes  fixed,  and  future  issuances  of  Class  A  Units  will  result  in  a  decline  in  the  Class  B  Unit 
Percentage Interest.  

All distributions are made to the holders of the Class A Units and the Class B Units in accordance with the 
Class A Unit Percentage Interest and Class B Unit Percentage Interest, respectively.  As further detailed in the 
LP Agreement, until a Determination Event occurs, distributions from Pure Multi will generally be made 95% 
to the Class A Units and 5% to the Class B Units. 

Pursuant to the LP Agreement, the Class B Unitholders as a class are entitled to convert some or all of their 
Class B Units into Class A Units based on the Specified Ratio.  Upon the Class B Unitholders exercising their 
Conversion Rights, they will own that number of Class A Units which is equal to the Class B Unit Percentage 
Interest (initially 5%) of all Class A Units outstanding after such conversion.  The Class B Unit Percentage 
Interest will remain fixed at 5% notwithstanding the issue of further Class A Units, until the occurrence of a 
Determination Event.  Following the occurrence of a Determination Event, the number of Class A Units to 
which the Class B Unitholder is entitled upon exercising the Conversion Rights attached thereto becomes fixed, 
and  future  issuances  of  Class  A  Units  will  result  in  a  decline  in  the  Class  B  Unit  Percentage  Interest.    A 
Determination Event is the earliest to occur of the following: (a) Pure Multi’s Market Capitalization exceeding 
$300,000,000 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days; (b) an arm’s length take-over bid being made for the 
Units, provided that not less than 51% of the Class A Units not held by the offer or are taken-up in such bid; 
and (c) substantially all of the assets of Pure Multi being sold or Pure Multi being liquidated.  

The Conversion Rights may be exercised by the Managing GP at any time provided that: 

(a) Pure  Multi  is  legally  entitled  to  comply  with  its  obligations  in  connection  with  the  exercise  of  the 
Conversion Rights; and  

(b)  the Class B Unitholder who exercises the Conversion Rights complies with all applicable securities laws.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

Upon the exercise of the Conversion Rights, the Class B Unitholders will receive that number of Class A Units 
which is equal to the Specified Ratio multiplied by the number of outstanding Class B Units.  As such, pursuant 
to  the  terms  of  the  LP  Agreement,  the  Class  B  Unitholders  will  receive  such  number  of  Class  A  Units 
representing  the  same  Class  B  Unit  Percentage  Interest  in  the  net  assets  of  Pure  Multi  as  was  previously 
designated in the form of Class B Units.  Subject to applicable laws, Pure Multi will redesignate all the interests 
of Class B Unitholders into Units at the Specified Ratio, as defined in LP Agreement, effective as of the date 
that Pure Multi receives a notice of exercise of the Conversion Rights.  Upon such occurrence, the interests of 
Class  B  Unitholders  will  be  redesignated  as  Class  A  Units.    The  Class  B  Units  will  not  be  required  to  be 
redeemed or cancelled. 

Pursuant to the LP Agreement, the Managing GP or any Affiliate or Associate of the Managing GP which is 
then the Class B Unitholder, has agreed that it will not dispose of more than one-third of the Class A Units 
received by it upon the conversion of the Class B Units in each consecutive twelve month period ending after 
the first anniversary of the earlier of: (i) the date a Determination Event occurs; and (ii) the date upon which 
the conversion is completed.  This limitation will not apply where the Conversion Rights have been exercised 
in connection with a takeover bid or a sale of substantially all of Pure Multi’s assets.

Allocation of net income or net loss 

Where Distributable Cash, as described in the LP Agreement, is paid in respect of Pure Multi’s year ended 
December 31 (“Fiscal Year”), the Net Income of Pure Multi in respect of that Fiscal Year shall be allocated 
among the Partners on the following basis: 

a)

b)

first, to the Governing GP 0.01% of the Net Income of Pure Multi to a maximum of $100 per annum; 

as to the balance: 

(i)

to the Class A Unitholders, as a class, an amount equal to the balance multiplied by a fraction, the 
numerator of which is the sum of the distributions received by the Class A Unitholders in respect of 
the Fiscal Year and the denominator of which is the total distributions made by Pure Multi in respect 
of the Fiscal Year and the amount so determined shall be allocated to each Class A Unitholder by 
multiplying such amount distributed by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of distributions 
received by such Class A Unitholder with respect to such Fiscal Year and the denominator of which 
is the aggregate amount of distributions made by Pure Multi to the Class A as a group with respect 
to such Fiscal Year; and 

(ii)

 to the Class B Unitholders, pro rata, an amount equal to the balance multiplied by a fraction, the 
numerator of which is the sum of the distributions received by the Class B Unitholders in respect of 
the Fiscal Year and the denominator of which is the total distributions made by Pure Multi in respect 
of the Fiscal Year. 

Where no Distributable Cash is paid in respect of a Fiscal Year, Net Income of Pure Multi in respect of that 
Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners on the following basis: 

a)

b)

first, to the Governing GP 0.01% of the Net Income of Pure Multi to a maximum of $100 per annum; 

as to the balance:  

(i)

(ii)

to the Class A Unitholders of record at the end of each month ending in such Fiscal Year, pro rata
in accordance with their respective number of units held by such Unitholder divided by the aggregate 
number of units outstanding in the same Class (“Proportionate Shares”), 95% (the “Class A Unit 
Percentage”) of the balance divided by 12; and

to the Class B Unitholders of record at the end of each month ending in such Fiscal Year, pro rata
in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, 5% (the “Class B Unit Percentage”) of the 
balance divided by 12.  Net Loss of Pure Multi in respect of that Fiscal Year shall be allocated among 
the Partners on the following basis:

Pure Multi defines capital as the aggregate of partners’ capital, preferred units of subsidiary and long term debt.  
Pure Multi’s objectives in managing capital are to maintain a level of capital that complies with investment 
and debt restrictions pursuant to the initial offering prospectus; complies with existing debt covenants, if any; 
funds its business strategies; and builds long-term partners’ value.  Pure Multi’s capital structure is approved 
by the board of directors of the Governing GP through its periodic reviews. 

The LP Agreement provides for a maximum indebtedness level of up to 70% of the gross book value.  The 
term  "indebtedness"  means  any  obligation  of  Pure  Multi  for  borrowed  money  (including  the  face  amount 
outstanding under any convertible debentures and any outstanding  liabilities of Pure Multi arising from the 
issuance of subordinated notes but excluding any premium in respect of indebtedness assumed by Pure Multi 
for  which  Pure  Multi  has  the  benefit  of  an  interest  rate  subsidy),  but  excludes  trade  accounts  payable, 
distributions  payable  to  unitholders,  preferred  units  of  subsidiary,  accrued  liabilities  arising  in  the  ordinary 
course of business and short-term acquisition credit facilities.  The LP Agreement defines “gross book value” 
as the book value of the assets of Pure Multi plus the amount of accumulated depreciation and amortization in 
respect of such assets (and related intangible assets), the amount of future income tax liability arising out of 
indirect acquisitions and excluding the amount of any receivable reflecting interest rate subsidies on any debt 
assumed by Pure Multi.  Pure Multi’s indebtedness is 57.9% as at December 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 –
64.0%).  Pure Multi was in compliance with all restrictions during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 
2013. 

There were no changes in Pure Multi’s approach to capital management during the year ended December 31,
2014.  The capital structure consisted of the following components at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 
2013:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value of financial instruments 

For certain of Pure Multi’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, 
mortgage  reserve  fund,  credit  facility,  and  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities,  the  carrying  amounts 
approximate the fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.   

The fair values of the mortgages payable and preferred units have been calculated based on discounted future 
cash flows using discount rates that reflect current market conditions for instruments having similar terms and 
conditions.  Discount rates are either provided by lenders or are observable in the open market. The fair value 
of the convertible debentures has been calculated using quoted prices in active markets. 

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of Pure Multi’s financial instruments:

Financial risk management 

The board of directors of the Governing GP has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight 
of Pure Multi’s risk management framework.  Pure Multi’s risk management policies are established to identify 
and analyze the risks faced by Pure Multi, 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 in response to Pure Multi’s activities.

In the normal course of business, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, is exposed to a number of risks that can 
affect  its  operating  performance.    These  risks  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  credit  risk,  interest  rate  risk, 
liquidity risk, currency risk and environmental risk. These risks, and the actions taken to manage them, are as 
follows: 

a. Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Pure Multi if a  tenant, customer or counterparty to a  financial 
instrument  fails to  meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally  from Pure Multi’s receivables 
from tenants. 

Pure Multi’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each tenant.  
Pure  Multi  minimizes  the  risk  by  checking  tenants’  credit  histories,  requesting  security  deposits  and 
initiating a prompt collection process.  All trade receivables are current. 

b. Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that the value of, or cash flows related to, a financial instrument 
will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.  Pure Multi is exposed to interest rate risk from 
the interest rate differentials between the market rate and the rates used on these financial instruments. 

79

Pure Multi-Family REIT LP  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Expressed in United States dollars 

Pure Multi manages its financial instruments and interest rate risks based on its cash flow needs and with a 
view to minimizing interest expense.  Whenever possible, Pure Multi, through the US REIT, tries to secure 
fixed interest rate mortgages.  As all of the mortgages payable bear interest at fixed rates and only the bank 
credit facility bears a variable interest rate, Pure Multi does not face significant interest rate risk.

c. Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that Pure Multi will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  
Real  estate  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 Pure Multi’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or 
investment conditions.  If Pure Multi were required to liquidate the investment properties, the proceeds to 
Pure Multi might be significantly less than the aggregate carrying value of such property. 

Pure Multi’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient cash available to meet 
its liabilities when due.  In addition, Pure Multi intends to refinance any mortgages which mature within 
six months. 

d. Currency risk 

Pure Multi is exposed to minimal currency risk since a small portion of the expenses is in Canadian dollars.   

e. Environmental risk 

Pure Multi, through the US REIT, is subject to various federal, state and municipal laws relating to the 
environment.    On  acquisition,  Pure  Multi  conducts  environmental  inspections  of  its  properties  and 
appropriate  testing  by  qualified  environmental  consultants  when  required  to  ensure  compliance  with  all 
applicable environmental laws.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Pure Multi measures investment properties at fair value at each balance sheet date, the fair value is the price 
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market 
participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  In certain circumstances, the initial fair 
value may be based on other observable current market transactions, without modification or on a valuation 
technique using market based inputs. 

Fair value measurements recognized in the statement of financial position are categorized in accordance with 
the following levels: 

(cid:120) Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
(cid:120) Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or valuation techniques where 

significant inputs are based on observable market data. 

(cid:120) Level 3: Valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data.

As disclosed above, the fair value methodology for Pure Multi’s investment properties is considered Level 3, 
as significant unobservable inputs are required to determine fair value.  Refer to note  5, for a description of 
how management determines fair value and for further details of the average capitalization rates and ranges for 
investment properties, including equity-accounted investees. 

Investment properties as at  December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 have been valued using the overall 
capitalization rate (“OCR”) method, an income based approach, whereby the stabilized net operating income 
is capitalized at the requisite OCR. 

Valuations determined by the OCR method are most sensitive to changes in capitalization rates.  The table 
below summarizes the sensitivity of the fair value of investment properties to changes in the capitalization rate 
at December 31, 2014:
