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) | Adoption of Accounting Standards |
IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)
The partnership adopted IFRS 16 effective January 1, 2019. It supersedes IAS 17, Leases and related interpretations. IFRS 16 brings most leases on-balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities 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 applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and comparative periods are not restated. The adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition of lease liabilities for operating leases of $873 million, ROU assets of $721 million that are classified as investment properties, $122 million that are classified as property, plant and equipment, $22 million that are classified as inventory and an immaterial impact to equity. These amounts do not include the lease liabilities and ROU assets of certain investments that were deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 4, Investment Properties for further information.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the partnership has applied the following practical expedients permitted by the standard on a lease-by-lease basis. These practical expedients are only available upon adoption and cannot be applied for any new lease executed after adoption:
| |
• | the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as of January 1, 2019 as short-term leases; |
| |
• | the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the ROU assets; |
| |
• | the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease; and |
| |
• | adjusting the measurement of the ROU assets by the amount of any provision for onerous leases recognized under IAS 37. |
The partnership has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will continue to be applied to leases entered or modified before January 1, 2019.
Lease obligations at December 31, 2018 are as follows, as disclosed in the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year-ended December 31, 2018:
|
| | | |
(US$ Millions) | Dec. 31, 2018 |
|
Less than 1 year | $ | 104 |
|
1-5 years | 401 |
|
More than 5 years | 5,631 |
|
Total | $ | 6,136 |
|
The lease obligations as disclosed in the table above included leases that are classified as finance leases, short-term leases and low-value leases, which are immaterial. It also included operating leases held by certain investments that were deconsolidated as of January 31, 2019. The partnership calculated the lease liabilities for the operating leases by discounting the future lease obligations at the respective incremental borrowing rates at the date of initial adoption. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities recognized at the date of initial adoption was 6.8%. Total lease liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consists of $36 million current lease liabilities and $839 million non-current lease liabilities.
Significant accounting policies
The partnership determines at the inception of a contract if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The criteria specified in IFRS 16 apply to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019. Lease components and non-lease components are separated on a relative stand-alone selling price basis for the partnership’s leases as lessor. For the partnership’s leases as lessee, the partnership applies the practical expedient which is available by asset class not to allocate contract consideration between lease and non-lease components. The change in definition of a lease mainly relates to the concept of control. IFRS 16 determines whether a contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the customer has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The partnership as lessee
The partnership recognizes a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) and leases of low value assets (“low-value leases”). For these leases, the partnership recognizes the lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the partnership uses its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment. This rate is expected to be similar to the interest rate implicit in the lease. Where a lease contains a parental guarantee, the incremental borrowing rate may be determined with reference to the parent rather than the lessee. The partnership uses a single discount rate to account for portfolios of leases with similar characteristics. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise of i) fixed lease payments, less any lease incentives; ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; iii) the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; iv) the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. Lease liability is presented in Accounts payable and other liabilities (current) and Other non-current liabilities (non-current) on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease liability is subsequently measured under the effective interest method that is increased by the interest expense on the lease liability recognized on the consolidated statements of income and reduced by lease payments made that is recognized on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities continue to be recognized in direct commercial property expense, direct hospitality expense or general and administrative expense lines on the consolidated statements of income.
ROU asset comprises the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs. ROU assets classified as investment properties are subsequently measured at fair value. ROU assets classified as property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured at depreciated cost basis over the lease term. If such lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the ROU asset reflects that the partnership expects to exercise a purchase option, the related ROU asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets classified as inventory are subsequently carried at cost subject to impairment. ROU assets are presented in the respective lines based on their classification on the consolidated balance sheets. Whenever the partnership incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized and measured under IAS 37. The costs are included in the related ROU asset.
The partnership remeasures lease liabilities and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU assets when i) the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate; ii) the lease payments have changed due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used); or iii) a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The partnership as lessor
IFRS 16 does not change substantially how a lessor accounts for leases. Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. Under IFRS 16, an intermediate lessor accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. The intermediate lessor is required to classify the sublease as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.
Critical judgments and estimates in applying IFRS 16
The partnership has applied critical judgments in the application of IFRS 16, including: i) identifying whether a contract (or part of a contract) includes a lease; ii) determining whether it is reasonably certain that lease extension or termination option will be exercised in determining lease term; iii) determining the classification of lease agreements for lessor leases; iv) determining whether variable payments are in-substance fixed; v) establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement; and vi) the fair value method of ROU assets classified as investment properties. The partnership also makes judgments in determining whether certain leases are operating or finance leases.
The partnership uses critical estimates in the application of IFRS 16, including the estimation of lease term and determination of the appropriate rate to discount the lease payments.
Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combination
The partnership adopted the Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3 Amendments”) effective January 1, 2019 in advance of its mandatory effective date. IFRS 3 Amendments clarifies the definition of a business in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. It has removed the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or processes and continuing to produce outputs and the reference to an ability to reduce costs, and requires, at a minimum, the acquired set of activities and assets to include an input and a substantive process to meet the definition of a business. IFRS 3 Amendments also provides for an optional concentration test to assess whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The partnership has adopted the standard prospectively.
After the adoption of the IFRS 3 Amendments, the partnership continues to account for business combinations in which control is acquired under the acquisition method. When an acquisition is made, the partnership considers the inputs, processes and outputs of the acquiree in assessing whether it meets the definition of a business. When the acquired set of activities and assets lack a substantive process in place but will be integrated into the partnership’s existing operations, the acquisition ceases to meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as asset acquisition. Assets acquired through asset acquisitions are initially measured at cost, which includes the transaction costs incurred for the acquisitions.
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, 2018 and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, except for the adopted accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2c) above.
NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The partnership did not complete any business combinations in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The partnership completed the following significant business combinations (prior to the adoption of IFRS 3 Amendments) during 2018 that were accounted for on a provisional basis in Note 4, Acquisition of GGP and Note 5, Acquisitions and Business Combinations of the partnership’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018:
| |
• | 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 $1,299 million. In the first quarter of 2019, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for 666 Fifth Avenue. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. This asset was deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 4, Investment Properties for further information. |
| |
• | On August 28, 2018, the partnership acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of GGP Inc. (“GGP”) (“GGP acquisition”) other than those shares previously held by the partnership and its affiliates, which represented a 34% interest in GGP prior to the acquisition. In the transaction, former GGP shareholders elected to receive, for each GGP common share, subject to proration, either $23.50 in cash or either one LP Unit or one BPR Unit. As a result of the GGP acquisition, 161 million BPR Units and 88 million LP Units were issued to former GGP shareholders. In the second quarter of 2019, the partnership completed the purchase price allocation for GGP. No material changes were made to the provisional purchase price allocation. |
| |
• | On December 7, 2018, the partnership acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Forest City Realty Trust Inc. (“Forest City”), a publicly traded company which owns a portfolio of office, multifamily and mixed-use assets across the U.S, for consideration of $6,948 million. During 2019, the partnership finalized the review over the fair value of the investment properties and property debt obligations as at the acquisition date and recognized an opening equity adjustment of $493 million that mostly consisted of a bargain purchase gain. The bargain purchase gain was reflecting the discount to net asset value of the previously publicly traded shares of Forest City. The |
partnership is currently reviewing the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability as part of the provisional purchase price allocation. This portfolio was deconsolidated by the partnership on January 31, 2019. See Note 4, Investment Properties for further information.

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 generally 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. Where there has been a recent market transaction for a specific property, such as an acquisition or sale of a partial interest, the partnership values the property on that basis. 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 this report. 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 subsidiaries, the partnership relies on quarterly valuations prepared by external valuation professionals. Management compares the external valuations to the partnership’s internal valuations to review the work performed by the 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.
(a)2019 Transactions
Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners III (“BSREP III”) deconsolidation
In the first quarter of 2019, BSREP III held its final close with total equity commitments of $15 billion. Prior to final close, the partnership had committed to 25%, or a controlling interest in the fund and as a result, had previously consolidated the investments made to date. Upon final close, on January 31, 2019, the partnership reduced its commitment to $1.0 billion, representing a 7% non-voting position. As a result, the partnership lost control and deconsolidated its investment in the fund, which primarily consists of Forest City and 666 Fifth Avenue. The partnership will recognize its investment in BSREP III as a financial asset, initially recognized at fair value and remeasured on each reporting date through fair value gain or loss. As a result of the deconsolidation, investment properties decreased by $11,499 million, equity accounted investments decreased by $1,434 million, property, plant and equipment decreased by $789 million and debt obligations decreased by $13,601 million.
Adoption of IFRS 16
The impact of the January 1, 2019 adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition of ROU investment properties of $721 million. Fair value loss related to IFRS 16 ROU assets for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1 million. As of June 30, 2019, ROU investment properties was $718 million.

NOTE 8. GOODWILL
Goodwill of $1,007 million at June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $1,109 million) is primarily attributable to Center Parcs UK and IFC Seoul.

NOTE 9. 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 $919 million as of June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $921 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 June 30, 2019, intangible assets of the Atlantis had a carrying value of $206 million (December 31, 2018 - $207 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.

NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES
The partnership is a flow-through entity for tax purposes and as such is not subject to Bermudian taxation. However, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable by the primary holding subsidiaries of the partnership (“Holding Entities”), any direct or indirect corporate subsidiaries of the Holding Entities and for the impact of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to such entities.
The components of income tax expense include the following:
|

|
The partnership’s income tax expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower book income before income taxes and the reversal of temporary differences resulting from an internal restructuring of the ownership of certain retail investments.

NOTE 18. EQUITY
The partnership’s capital structure is comprised of six classes of partnership units: GP Units, LP Units, redeemable/exchangeable partnership units of the Operating Partnership (“Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units”), special limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership (“Special LP Units”), limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP (“Exchange LP Units”) and BPR Units. In addition, the partnership issued Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 1 (“Preferred Equity Units”) in the first quarter of 2019.
| |
a) | General and limited partnership equity |
GP Units entitle the holder to the right to govern the financial and operating policies of the partnership. The GP Units are entitled to a 1% general partnership interest.
LP Units entitle the holder to their proportionate share of distributions and are listed and publicly traded on the Nasdaq and the TSX. Each LP Unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote for the purposes of any approval at a meeting of limited partners, provided that holders of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units that are exchanged for LP Units will only be entitled to a maximum number of votes in respect of the Redeemable/Exchangeable Partnership Units equal to 49% of the total voting power of all outstanding units.

Special limited partnership units
Brookfield Property Special L.P. (“Special L.P.”) is entitled to receive equity enhancement distributions and incentive distributions from the operating partnership as a result of its ownership of the Special LP Units.
There were 4,759,997 Special LP Units outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
| |
c) | Limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP |
The Exchange LP Units are exchangeable at any time on a one-for-one basis, at the option of the holder, subject to their terms and applicable law, for LP Units. An Exchange LP Unit provides a holder thereof with economic terms that are substantially equivalent to those of a LP Unit. Subject to certain conditions and applicable law, Exchange LP will have the right, commencing on the seventh anniversary of June 9, 2014, the completion of the acquisition of the remaining common shares of BPO, to redeem all of the then outstanding Exchange LP Units at a price equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of an LP Unit plus all declared, payable, and unpaid distributions on such units.

| |
d) | Class A shares of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. |
BPR Units were issued to former GGP common shareholders who elected to receive BPR Units as consideration. Each BPR Unit is structured to provide an economic return equivalent to an 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 an 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 an LP Unit rather than cash. As a result, BPR Units participate in earnings and distribution on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of LP Units. The partnership presents BPR Units as a component of non-controlling interest.

In total $184 million of gross proceeds were raised and $6 million in underwriting and issuance costs were incurred. There were 7,360,000 Preferred Equity Units outstanding with a carrying value of $178 million at June 30, 2019.

|
| |
(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 changes as a result of issuances, repurchases and exchanges. 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. |

NOTE 28. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, the partnership incurred $8 million (2018 - $1 million) and $11 million (2018 - $(1) 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.
There were no BPY Awards granted during the period ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE 30. 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 June 30, 2019, the partnership has commitments totaling:
| |
• | approximately $957 million for the development of Manhattan West in Midtown New York, Greenpoint Landing in Brooklyn, as well as the redevelopment of One Allen Center, Two Allen Center, and Three Allen Center in Houston; |
| |
• | approximately A$246 million ($173 million) for the development of Darling Park Complex, Jessie St Centre, 52 Goulburn Street, 50 George Street, 388 George Street and 680 George Street in Sydney; Southern Cross West Tower in Melbourne; 235 St Georges Terrace, 108 St George Terrace, Brookfield Place Tower 1 and Brookfield Place Tower 2 in Perth; |
| |
• | approximately £75 million ($95 million) for the development of 100 Bishopsgate and Principal Place Residential in London; and |
| |
• | approximately AED 267 million ($73 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.

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 June 30, 2019, there remained approximately $740 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 June 30, 2019, there remained approximately $270 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 June 30, 2019, there remained approximately $225 million of uncontributed capital commitments.
In January 2019, Brookfield Asset Management announced the final close on the $15.0 billion third BSREP fund to which the partnership has committed $1.0 billion. As of June 30, 2019, there remained approximately $785 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.

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 32. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 was $23 million (2018 - $24 million) and $47 million (2018 - $48 million), respectively. The equity enhancement distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3 million (2018 - nil) and $14 million (2018 - nil), respectively.
In connection with the issuance of Preferred Equity Units to to the Class A Preferred Unitholders 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 the Class A Preferred Unitholder 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 33. SUBSIDIARY PUBLIC ISSUERS
BOP Split was incorporated for the purpose of being an issuer of preferred shares and owning a portion of the partnership’s 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.
In April 2018, the partnership formed two subsidiaries, Brookfield Property Finance ULC and Brookfield Property Preferred Equity Inc. to act as issuers of debt and preferred securities, respectively. The partnership and certain of its related entities have agreed to guarantee securities issued by these entities.
The following table provides consolidated summary financial information for the partnership, BOP Split, BPO, Brookfield Property Finance ULC, Brookfield Property Preferred Equity Inc. and the holding entities:

NOTE 34. 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 how the partnership now presents financial information to the CODM and investors. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. All prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect the changes in the partnership’s operating segments. 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 standardized meanings 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 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.
