Brookfield Property Partners L.P.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY” or the “partnership”) was formed as a limited partnership under the laws of Bermuda, pursuant to a limited partnership agreement dated January 3, 2013, as amended and restated on August 8, 2013. BPY is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield Asset Management” or the “parent company”) and is the primary entity through which the parent company and its affiliates own, operate, and invest in commercial and other income producing property on a global basis.
The partnership’s sole material asset at September 30, 2018 is a 47% managing general partnership unit interest in Brookfield Property L.P. (the “operating partnership”), which holds the partnership’s interest in commercial and other income producing property operations. The partnership’s interest in the operating partnership is comprised solely of an interest in managing general partner units (“GP Units”). The GP Units provide the partnership with the power to direct the relevant activities of the operating partnership.
The partnership’s limited partnership units (“BPY Units” or “LP Units”) are listed and publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbols “BPY” and “BPY.UN”, respectively.
The registered head office and principal place of business of the partnership is 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| |
a) | Statement of compliance |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the partnership and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed.
These condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on October 31, 2018.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for accounting standards adopted as identified in Note c) below. Consequently, the information included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented in accordance with IFRS. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. Dollars rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated.
| |
c) | Change in operating segments |
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. On July 1, 2018, the partnership realigned its LP Investments segment (formerly referred to as Opportunistic) to include the corporate function of the Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, previously included in the Corporate segment, to more closely align with the how the partnership now presents financial information to the CODM and investors. As of September 30, 2018, the partnership is organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM. Segment disclosures for periods prior to the realignment of segments have been recast to reflect the changes in the partnership’s operating segments. See Note 35, Segment Information, for further discussion.

d) | Adoption of Accounting Standards |
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”)
The partnership adopted IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 specifies how and when revenue should be recognized as well as requiring more informative and relevant disclosures. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The standard supersedes IAS 18, Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts and a number of revenue-related interpretations. IFRS 15 applies to nearly all contracts with customers: the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. The partnership’s revenue from leases are outside the scope of IFRS 15. The partnership’s material revenue streams subject to IFRS 15 are hospitality revenue and non-lease components within lease arrangements arising from the recovery of certain operating expenses from tenants. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not result in any material change to the pattern of revenue recognition by the partnership. The partnership adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of comparatives and did not record any adjustment upon
adoption. The partnership made additional disclosures in Note 20, Commercial Property Revenue, Note 21, Hospitality Revenue and Note 34, Segment Information, as a result of the adoption.
Following the adoption of IFRS 15, the partnership has separately disclosed other revenue from tenants in Note 20, Commercial Property Revenue, which consists of non-lease components within lease arrangements arising from the recovery of certain operating expenses from tenants which are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15. Other revenue from tenants is recognized when the partnership has satisfied its performance obligation by delivering services as agreed upon in the lease agreements to tenants at an amount equal to the component of revenue allocated to such performance obligation.
The recognition pattern of hospitality revenue is not impacted upon adoption of IFRS 15. Room revenue is recognized net of taxes and levies. The partnership recognizes net wins from casino gaming activities, the difference between gaming wins and losses, as gaming revenue. Advance deposits from guests’ bookings of rooms and leisure activities are deferred and included as a liability until services are provided to guests. Similarly, the partnership recognizes a liability for deposits received from patrons before gaming activities occurs as well as for chips in patron’s possession. Revenue from accommodation is recognized over the period that the guest stays at the hotel; food and beverage revenue is recognized when goods and services are provided; and revenue from leisure activities is recognized when leisure activities are completed given the short duration.
The recognition pattern of fee revenue is not impacted upon adoption of IFRS 15. It is recognized over a period of time as the partnership satisfies its performance obligations as agreed upon in contracts with customers.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
The partnership adopted IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2018. IFRS 9 supersedes IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”). IFRS 9 establishes principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and financial liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows. This new standard also includes a new general hedge accounting standard which will align hedge accounting more closely to risk management. It does not fully change the types of hedging relationships or the requirement to measure and recognize ineffectiveness, however, it will allow more hedging strategies that are used for risk management to qualify for hedge accounting and introduce more judgment to assess the effectiveness of a hedging relationship.
The partnership adopted IFRS 9 retrospectively with no restatement of comparatives. The adoption did not result in any material adjustment to the carrying amounts of financial assets, financial liabilities or opening retained earnings.
The following table presents the types of financial instruments held by the partnership within each financial instrument classification under IAS 39 and IFRS 9:
|
| | | |

Other non-current financial liabilities | Other liabilities | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
Derivative liabilities | FVTPL | Fair value | FVTPL |
Accounts payable and other liabilities | Other liabilities | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
For financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the partnership assesses if there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition to determine whether lifetime or 12-month expected credit losses should be recognized. Any related loss allowances are recorded through profit or loss. The change in impairment policy did not have a material impact on the partnership’s financial statements.
The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any material impact to the partnership’s policy for hedge accounting applied to certain derivative instruments. The partnership’s accounting policy is outlined in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The preparation of the partnership’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the partnership’s accounting policies. The accounting policies and critical estimates and assumptions have been set out in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
| |
f) | Future Accounting Policy |
IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)
IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17, Leases and related interpretations and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted if IFRS 15 has also been applied. IFRS 16 brings most leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting, however, remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained.
The partnership has participated in strategic planning sessions with its subsidiaries and associates and has developed and implemented an adoption project plan. Using the population of existing contractual arrangements, the partnership has substantially completed its identification of leases that are required to be capitalized under the new standard. The partnership is currently quantifying the present value of the identified lease contracts to determine the impact on the January 1, 2019 balance sheet and is assessing the expected impact to other financial statement line items once the standard has been adopted. The partnership is progressing as planned in its adoption project plan. Next steps include completing analysis on the transitional adjustment, assessing the impact to internal controls and drafting the additional disclosures required by the new standard.
The partnership currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective approach, whereby any transitional impact is recorded in equity as of January 1, 2019 and comparative periods are not restated. The partnership intends to complete the transition using the current definition of a lease and expects to apply certain transition reliefs, practical expedients and policy choice options on adoption of the new standard.
The partnership will continue to evaluate the overall impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF GGP INC.
On March 26, 2018, the partnership entered into a definitive merger agreement with GGP Inc. (“GGP”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of GGP other than those shares already held by the partnership and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the agreement, GGP common shareholders had the right to elect, for each GGP share, to receive, subject to proration, (i) $23.50 in cash or (ii) either one BPY unit or one share of Class A stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BPR (“BPR Unit”), a new U.S. REIT security formed by recapitalizing GGP and amending its governing documents. Each BPR Unit is structured to provide an economic return equivalent to a LP Unit. The holder of a BPR Unit has the right, at any time, to request the share be redeemed for cash equivalent to the value of a LP Unit. In the event the holder of a BPR Unit exercises this right, the partnership has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with a LP Unit rather than cash.
On July 26, 2018, GGP shareholders approved the merger which closed on August 28, 2018. On closing the partnership controlled BPR as it held 87% of the voting stock of BPR through its 100% ownership of the BPR Class B and Class C shares. The balance of the voting rights in respect of BPR are held by the holders of the BPR Units.
Based on shareholder elections, which were subject to proration, cash totaling $9.05 billion was paid by GGP to its shareholders, other than the partnership, in the form of a pre-closing dividend on August 27, 2018. According to the terms of the agreement, the consideration payable on close of the merger was reduced by the amount of the pre-closing dividend. The pre-closing dividend was funded with new term debt, property-level refinancings, proceeds from the sale of partial interests in certain GGP properties and the issuance of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries of GGP.
The acquisition of GGP was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages. The partnership’s existing equity interest in GGP was remeasured to fair value immediately prior to the acquisition date of August 28, 2018 based on the partnership’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities of GGP at the time. As a result of this remeasurement, a loss of approximately $580 million was recognized in fair value gains, net.
Consideration paid on acquisition of control by the partnership was comprised of the following:
| |
• | 88 million LP Units with a fair value of $1,786 million determined with reference to the trading price of the LP Units on the closing date; |
| |
• | 161 million BPR Units with a fair value of $3,383 million determined with reference to the initial trading price of the BPR Unit; |
| |
• | Cash consideration of $200 million; and |
| |
• | Share-based payment awards to GGP employees with a fair value of $28 million. |
As discussed in Note 19, Equity, the BPR Units issued on closing represent a non-controlling interest in the partnership.
As of September 30, 2018, the valuation of the investment properties, equity accounted investments, debt obligations, deferred tax liabilities, transaction costs, certain working capital balances and the acquisition date fair value of the partnership’s existing equity interest in GGP were still under evaluation by the partnership. Accordingly, the business combination has been accounted for on a provisional basis.
The following table summarizes the provisional amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in addition to the consideration paid and transaction costs incurred:

| |
(2) | Includes the acquisition date fair value of the partnership’s previously held equity interest in GGP of $7,770 million. |
In connection with the acquisition of GGP, the partnership has recognized a bargain purchase gain of $657 million in fair value gains, net. The agreed transaction price and the fair value of the consideration transferred was less than the aggregate fair values of the individual assets acquired net of the liabilities assumed. The partnership determined the purchase price allocation, on a provisional basis, is complete and appropriately measured giving consideration to fact that the fair value of the investment properties acquired was determined based on transaction prices agreed with third parties for the sale of partial interests in certain of the GGP assets and valuation models prepared by an independent external appraiser.
In the period from August 28, 2018 to September 30, 2018, the partnership recorded revenue and net income in connection with this acquisition of approximately $129 million and $77 million, respectively. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, the partnership’s total revenue and net income would have been $6,142 million and $3,413 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
NOTE 4. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND COMBINATIONS
In addition to the acquisition of GGP, discussed in Note 3, Acquisition of GGP Inc., the partnership completed the following significant business combinations during 2018:
| |
• | On February 1, 2018, the partnership acquired a portfolio of 105 extended-stay hotel properties across the United States (“Extended-Stay Hotel Portfolio”) for total consideration of $764 million. |
| |
• | On February 1, 2018, the partnership acquired a portfolio of 15 student housing properties in the United Kingdom (“UK Student Housing IV”), for total consideration of £527 million ($752 million). |
| |
• | On August 3, 2018, the partnership acquired a 100% leasehold interest in 666 Fifth Avenue, a commercial office asset in New York, for consideration of $1,252 million. |
The partnership also completed several immaterial acquisitions during 2018 for total consideration of $3,056 million. The acquisitions were primarily LP Investments made by Brookfield-sponsored real estate funds to invest the fund capital. The partnership consolidates the acquired investments as Brookfield’s power as general partner, together with the partnership’s LP interests, provide the partnership with control over the investments.

Excluding the acquisition of GGP, in the period from each acquisition date to September 30, 2018, the partnership recorded revenue and net income in connection with these acquisitions of approximately $308 million and $80 million, respectively. If the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2018, the partnership’s total revenue and net income would have been $5,279 million and $2,870 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Transaction costs, which primarily relate to legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations and included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated income statement.

The partnership determines the fair value of each commercial property based upon, among other things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the applicable balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows in respect of such leases. Investment property valuations are completed by undertaking one of two accepted income approach methods, which include either: i) discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years including a terminal value based on the application
of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows; or ii) undertaking a direct capitalization approach whereby a capitalization rate is applied to estimated current year cash flows. In determining the appropriateness of the methodology applied, the partnership considers the relative uncertainty of the timing and amount of expected cash flows and the impact such uncertainty would have in arriving at a reliable estimate of fair value. The partnership prepares these valuations considering asset and market specific factors, as well as observable transactions for similar assets. The determination of fair value requires the use of estimates, which are internally determined and compared with market data, third-party reports and research as well as observable conditions. There are currently no known trends, events or uncertainties that the partnership reasonably believes could have a sufficiently pervasive impact across the partnership’s businesses to materially affect the methodologies or assumptions utilized to determine the estimated fair values reflected in these financial statements. Discount rates and capitalization rates are inherently uncertain and may be impacted by, among other things, movements in interest rates in the geographies and markets in which the assets are located. Changes in estimates of discount and capitalization rates across different geographies and markets are often independent of each other and not necessarily in the same direction or of the same magnitude. Further, impacts to the partnership’s fair values of commercial properties from changes in discount or capitalization rates and cash flows are usually inversely correlated. Decreases (increases) in the discount rate or capitalization rate result in increases (decreases) of fair value. Such decreases (increases) may be mitigated by decreases (increases) in cash flows included in the valuation analysis, as circumstances that typically give rise to increased interest rates (e.g., strong economic growth, inflation) usually give rise to increased cash flows at the asset level. Refer to the table below for further information on valuation methods used by the partnership for its asset classes.
Commercial developments are also measured using a discounted cash flow model, net of costs to complete, as of the balance sheet date. Development sites in the planning phases are measured using comparable market values for similar assets.
In accordance with its policy, the partnership generally measures and records its commercial properties and developments using valuations prepared by management. However, for certain recently acquired subsidiaries, including GGP, the partnership has used valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Additionally, a number of properties are externally appraised each year and the results of those appraisals are compared to the partnership’s internally prepared values.
The key valuation metrics for the partnership’s consolidated commercial properties are presented in the following tables below on a weighted-average basis:

(1) | The partnership obtained control of GGP during the third quarter of 2018 following the acquisition of the common shares not previously held by the partnership. As a result of the acquisition, GGP’s interest in joint ventures of $10,850 million was added to the balance of equity accounted investments, offset by the deconsolidation of the partnership’s 34% interest of $7,769 million and fair value loss of $580 million from adjusting the partnership’s interest in GGP to its fair value immediately prior to acquiring control. See Note 3, Acquisition of GGP Inc., for further information. |
| |
(2) | During the fourth quarter of 2017, in the Core Retail segment, the partnership exercised all of its outstanding warrants of GGP. Of these warrants, 16 million were exercised on a cashless basis and the remaining 43 million warrants on a full share settlement basis for approximately $462 million. The exercise resulted in the partnership’s acquisition of an additional 68 million common shares of GGP, increasing its ownership from 29% to 34%. The partnership determined its share of the net fair value of the incremental interests acquired in GGP’s identifiable assets and liabilities. The excess of its share of this net fair value over the cost of the investment of $442 million represents a gain that is included in share of net earnings from equity accounted investments for the year ended December 31, 2017. |

(3) | The partnership’s interest in 245 Park Avenue in Midtown New York was reclassified to assets held for sale in the first quarter of 2017 and sold in the second quarter of 2017. |

NOTE 7. PARTICIPATING LOAN INTERESTS
Participating loan interests represent interests in certain properties in Australia that do not provide the partnership with control over the entity that owns the underlying property and are held at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The instruments, which are receivable from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management, have contractual maturity dates of September 26, 2020 and February 1, 2023, subject to the partnership’s prior right to convert into direct ownership interests in the underlying commercial properties, and have contractual interest rates that vary with the results of operations of those properties.
The outstanding principal of the participating loan interests relates to the following properties:
|
| | | | | | | | | | |

(1) | In the third quarter of 2018, the partnership amended its agreements to allow the partnership to acquire the trust that holds these underlying properties instead of acquiring the properties directly. This amendment resulted in a change of control, which results in the partnership consolidating the results of these entities. |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the partnership recognized interest income on the participating loan interests of $2 million (2017 - $7 million) and $15 million (2017 - $21 million), respectively, and fair value gains of $9 million (2017 - $27 million) and $29 million (2017 - $57 million), respectively.

NOTE 9. GOODWILL
Goodwill of $1,124 million at September 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017 - $1,079 million) is primarily attributable to Center Parcs UK and IFC Seoul. The partnership performs a goodwill impairment test annually by assessing if the carrying value of the cash-generating unit, including the allocated goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount determined as the greater of the estimated fair value less costs to sell or the value in use.
NOTE 10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The partnership’s intangible assets are presented on a cost basis, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These intangible assets primarily represent the trademark assets related to Center Parcs UK and Atlantis.
The trademark assets of Center Parcs UK had a carrying amount of $943 million as of September 30, 2018 (December 31, 2017 - $964 million). They have been determined to have an indefinite useful life as the partnership has the legal right to operate these trademarks exclusively in certain territories and in perpetuity. The business model of Center Parcs UK is not subject to technological obsolescence or commercial innovations in any material way.
In addition, intangible assets include the trademark and licensing assets relating to Atlantis. At September 30, 2018, intangible assets of the Atlantis had a carrying value of $207 million (December 31, 2017 - $209 million). They have been determined to have an indefinite useful life as the partnership has the legal right to operate these intangible assets granted under perpetual licenses. The business model of Atlantis is not subject to technological obsolescence or commercial innovations in any material way.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the partnership reclassified the intangible assets of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which had a carrying value of $45 million, to assets held for sale. The majority of the intangible assets were sold to a third party in the first quarter of 2018, with the remainder sold in the third quarter of 2018.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective useful lives as listed above. Amortization expense is recorded as part of depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets expense.

(1) | Each unit within these classes of non-controlling interest has economic terms substantially equivalent to those of an LP unit. As such, income attributed to each unit or share of non-controlling interest is equivalent to that allocated to an LP unit. The proportion of interests held by holders of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Units and Exchange LP Units changed as a result of the issuance of the LP Units and BPR Units. Consequently, the partnership adjusted the relative carrying amounts of the interests held by Limited Partners and non-controlling interests based on their relative share of the equivalent LP Units. The difference between the adjusted value and the previous carrying amounts was attributed to current LP Units as ownership changes in the Statement of Changes in Equity. |

NOTE 29. UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION
The partnership grants options to certain employees under its amended and restated BPY Unit Option Plan (“BPY Plan”). Pursuant to the BPY Plan, options may be settled for the in-the-money amount of the option in LP Units upon exercise. Consequently, options granted to employees under the BPY Plan are accounted for as an equity-based compensation agreement.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the partnership incurred $4 million (2017 - $4 million) and $3 million (2017 - $13 million), respectively, of expense in connection with its unit-based compensation plans.
Awards under the BPY Plan (“BPY Awards”) generally vest 20% per year over a period of five years and expire 10 years after the grant date, with the exercise price set at the time such options were granted and generally equal to the market price of an LP Unit on the Nasdaq on the last trading day preceding the grant date. Upon exercise of a vested BPY Award, the participant is entitled to receive LP Units or a cash payment equal to the amount by which the fair market value of an LP Unit at the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the BPY Award. Subject to a separate adjustment arising from forfeitures, the estimated expense is revalued every reporting period using the Black-Scholes model as a result of the cash settlement provisions of the plan for certain employees. In terms of measuring expected life of the BPY Awards with various term lengths and vesting periods, BPY will segregate each set of similar BPY Awards and, if different, exercise price, into subgroups and apply a weighted average within each group.
The partnership estimated the fair value of BPY Awards granted during the period using the Black-Scholes valuation model, with inputs to the model and resulting weighted average fair value per option as follows:

b) | Restricted BPY LP Unit Plan |
The Restricted BPY LP Unit Plan provides for awards to participants of LP Units purchased on the Nasdaq (“Restricted Units”). Under the Restricted BPY LP Unit Plan, units awarded generally vest over a period of five years, except as otherwise determined or for Restricted Units awarded in lieu of a cash bonus as elected by the participant, which may vest immediately. The estimated total compensation cost measured at grant date is evenly recognized over the vesting period of five years.
As of September 30, 2018, the total number of Restricted Units outstanding was 153,782 (December 31, 2017 - 440,527) with a weighted average exercise price of $20.97 (December 31, 2017 - $21.08).
| |
c) | Restricted BPY LP Unit Plan (Canada) |
The Restricted BPY LP Unit Plan (Canada) is substantially similar to the Restricted BPY LP Unit Plan described above, except that it is for Canadian employees, there is a five-year hold period, and purchases of units are made on the TSX instead of the Nasdaq.
As of September 30, 2018, the total number of Canadian Restricted Units outstanding was 21,624 (December 31, 2017 - 21,624) with a weighted average exercise price of C$22.88 (December 31, 2017 - C$22.88).
| |
d) | Deferred Share Unit Plan |
In addition to the above, BPO has a deferred share unit plan. At September 30, 2018, BPO has 1,431,044 deferred share units (December 31, 2017 - 1,363,938) outstanding and vested.

NOTE 31. OBLIGATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER
In the normal course of operations, the partnership and its consolidated entities execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in transactions such as business dispositions, business acquisitions, sales of assets and sales of services.
Certain of the partnership’s operating subsidiaries have also agreed to indemnify their directors and certain of their officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevent the partnership from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither the partnership nor its consolidated subsidiaries have made significant payments under such indemnification agreements.
The partnership and its operating subsidiaries may be contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business or otherwise.
At September 30, 2018, the partnership has commitments totaling approximately $778 million for the development of Manhattan West in Midtown New York, Greenpoint Landing in Brooklyn, the SoNo Collection in Connecticut, the Staten Island Mall in New York, as well as the redevelopment of One Allen Center, Two Allen Center, and Three Allen Center in Houston, approximately £138 million ($180 million) for the development of 100 Bishopsgate in London and approximately AED 364 million ($99 million) for the development of ICD Brookfield Place in Dubai.
During 2013, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $4.4 billion Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners (“BSREP”) fund, a global private fund focused on making opportunistic investments in commercial property. The partnership, as lead investor, committed approximately $1.3 billion to the fund. As of September 30, 2018, there remained approximately $170 million of uncontributed capital commitments.
In April 2016, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $9.0 billion second BSREP fund to which the partnership had committed $2.3 billion as lead investor. As of September 30, 2018, there remained approximately $760 million of uncontributed capital commitments.
In November 2017, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $2.9 billion fifth Brookfield Real Estate Finance Fund (“BREF”) to which the partnership had committed $400 million. As of September 30, 2018, there remained approximately $295 million of uncontributed capital commitments.
In September 2018, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $1.0 billion third Brookfield Fairfield U.S. Multifamily Value Add Fund (“VAMF”) to which the partnership had committed $300 million. As of September 30, 2018, there remained approximately $240 million of uncontributed capital commitments.
The partnership maintains insurance on its properties in amounts and with deductibles that it believes are in line with what owners of similar properties carry. The partnership maintains all risk property insurance and rental value coverage (including coverage for the perils of flood, earthquake and named windstorm). The partnership does not conduct its operations, other than those of equity accounted investments, through entities that are not fully or proportionately consolidated in these financial statements, and has not guaranteed or otherwise contractually committed to support any material financial obligations not reflected in these financial statements.
NOTE 32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
| |
a) | Derivatives and hedging activities |
The partnership and its operating entities use derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage financial risks, including interest rate, commodity, equity price and foreign exchange risks.

The partnership and its operating entities use the following derivative instruments to manage these risks:
| |
• | foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposures to Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Brazilian Real, Indian Rupee and South Korean Won denominated net investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency denominated financial assets; |
| |
• | interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with planned refinancings and existing variable rate debt; and |
| |
• | interest rate caps to hedge interest rate risk on certain variable rate debt. |

Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as 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 (i.e., an exit price). Fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets represent a Level 1 valuation. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the partnership maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models. When all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are considered Level 3, which reflect the partnership’s market assumptions and are noted below. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
The following table outlines financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and the level of the inputs used to determine those fair values in the context of the hierarchy as defined above:

NOTE 33. RELATED PARTIES
In the normal course of operations, the partnership enters into transactions with related parties. These transactions have been measured at exchange value and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The immediate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Property Partners Limited. The ultimate parent of the partnership is Brookfield Asset Management. Other related parties of the partnership include Brookfield Asset Management’s subsidiaries and operating entities, certain joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method, as well as officers of such entities and their spouses.
The partnership has a management agreement with its service providers, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management. Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement, the partnership pays a base management fee (“base management fee”), to the service providers equal to 0.5% of the total capitalization of the partnership, subject to an annual minimum of $50 million plus annual inflation adjustments. The amount of the equity enhancement distribution is reduced by the amount by which the base management fee is greater than $50 million per annum, plus annual inflation adjustments.
The base management fee for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $25 million (2017 - $26 million) and $73 million (2017 - $78 million), respectively. The equity enhancement distribution is $1 million both for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 (2017 - $7 million and $20 million), respectively.
In connection with the issuance of Preferred Equity Units to Qatar Investment Authority (“QIA”) in the fourth quarter of 2014, Brookfield Asset Management contingently agreed to acquire the seven-year and ten-year tranches of Preferred Equity Units from QIA for the initial issuance price plus accrued and unpaid distributions and to exchange such units for Preferred Equity Units with terms and conditions substantially similar to the twelve-year tranche to the extent that the market price of the LP Units is less than 80% of the exchange price at maturity.

NOTE 34. SUBSIDIARY PUBLIC ISSUERS
BOP Split was incorporated for the purpose of being an issuer of preferred shares and owning the partnership’s additional investment in BPO common shares. Pursuant to the terms of a Plan of Arrangement, holders of outstanding BPO Class AAA Preferred Shares Series G, H, J and K, which were convertible into BPO common shares, were able to exchange their shares for BOP Split Senior Preferred Shares, subject to certain conditions. The BOP Split Senior Preferred shares are listed on the TSX and began trading on June 11, 2014. All shares issued by BOP Split are retractable by the holders at any time for cash.
In connection with an internal restructuring completed in July 2016, the partnership and certain of its related entities agreed to guarantee all of BPO’s Class AAA Preferred Shares and all of BPO’s debt securities issued pursuant to BPO’s indenture dated December 8, 2009.

NOTE 35. SEGMENT INFORMATION
IFRS 8, Operating Segments, requires operating segments to be determined based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assessing its performance. On July 1, 2018, the partnership realigned its LP Investments segment (formerly referred to as Opportunistic) to include the corporate function of the Brookfield-sponsored real estate opportunity funds, previously included in the Corporate segment, to more closely align with the how the partnership now presents financial information to the CODM and investors. As of September 30, 2018, the partnership is organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM.
The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of the partnership’s operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”). This performance metric does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may differ from similar metrics used by other companies and organizations. Management believes that while not an IFRS measure, FFO is the most consistent metric to measure the partnership’s financial statements and for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing its performance.
The partnership defines FFO as follows:
FFO: net income, prior to fair value gains, net, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and income taxes less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties share of these items. When determining FFO, the partnership also includes its proportionate share of the FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and associates.
