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 direct investments are a 49% managing general partnership units (“GP Units” or “GP”) interest in Brookfield Property L.P. (the “operating partnership”) and an interest in BP US REIT LLC, which hold the partnership’s interest in commercial and other income producing property operations. 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, 2020 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the partnership on November 5, 2020.

b)Basis of presentation

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, 2019, except for accounting standards adopted as identified in Note 2(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, 2019.

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: COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions, Amendment to IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16 Amendment”)

The partnership early adopted the IFRS 16 Amendment as of April 1, 2020. The IFRS 16 Amendment provides the partnership as lessee only with an optional exemption from assessing whether rent concessions related to COVID-19 meeting certain conditions are lease modifications. Such qualifying rent concessions are accounted for as if they are not lease modifications, generally resulting in the effects of rent abatements being recognized as variable lease payments. The Partnership has applied the practical expedient to all such qualifying rent concessions. The adoption of the IFRS 16 Amendment did not have a material impact on the results of the partnership.

d)Estimates

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, 2019 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, 2020.

Prior to the end of the first quarter, there was a global outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, which prompted certain responses from global government authorities across the various geographies in which the partnership owns and operates investment properties (“global economic shutdown” or “the shutdown”). Such responses, have included mandatory temporary closure of, or imposed limitations on, the operations of certain non-essential properties and businesses including office properties and retail malls and associated businesses which operate within these properties such as retailers and restaurants. In addition, shelter-in-place mandates and severe travel restrictions have had a significant adverse impact on consumer spending and demand in the near term. These negative economic indicators, restrictions and closure have created significant estimation uncertainty in the determination of the fair value of investment properties as of September 30, 2020. Due to

        7

uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the volatility of current markets, pace and size of government policy responses and the lack of private market transactions, for the current period, we did not make holistic changes to our discount rates and/or terminal capitalization rates on any of our sectors, but rather an asset-by-asset view of risk and long-term value was applied in consideration of a reduction in cashflows in our models. See Note 3, Investment Properties for further information. Management also considered changes to risk-free borrowing rates in consideration of risk applied in our models.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

The following table presents a roll forward of the partnership’s investment property balances, all of which are considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019:

	Nine months ended Sep. 30, 2020						Year ended Dec. 31, 2019

(1)The prior year primarily includes the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) through the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets.

(2)Property dispositions represent the fair value on date of sale.

(3)The prior year primarily includes the impact of the deconsolidation of Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners III (“BSREP III”) investments. See below for further information.

(4)Includes right-of-use commercial properties and commercial developments of $737 million and $9 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2020. Current lease liabilities of $45 million have been included in accounts payable and other liabilities and non-current lease liabilities of $711 million have been included in other non-current liabilities.

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. Except for the impacts of the shutdown which are discussed below, there are currently no other 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.

2020 Conditions

Global Economic Shutdown

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally, and actions taken in response to COVID-19 have interrupted business activities and supply chains; disrupted travel; contributed to significant volatility in the financial markets, resulting in a general decline in equity prices and lower interest rates; impacted social conditions; and adversely impacted local, regional, national and international economic conditions, as well as the labor markets. The shutdown did not materially impact the partnership’s commercial property revenue earned in the quarter. Future revenues and cash flows produced by these operating properties are more uncertain than normal as a result of the rapid impact to the global economy in response to measures put in place to control the pandemic. The partnership has adjusted cash flow assumptions for its estimate of near term disruptions to cash flows to reflect collections, vacancy and assumptions on new leasing.

We undertook a process to assess the appropriateness of the discount and terminal capitalization rates considering changes to property-level cash flows and any risk premium inherent in such cash flow changes as well as the current cost of capital and credit spreads. These considerations led us to make some discount rate and capitalization rate changes to certain of our assets, mostly within our Core Retail portfolio for assets where we have more exposure to anchor tenants who have recently filed for bankruptcy. As we learn more about the mid- and longer-term impacts of the pandemic on our business we will update our valuation models accordingly.

2019 Transactions

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, at the time, primarily consisted of Forest City Realty Trust (“Forest City”) and 660 Fifth Avenue. The partnership recognizes 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 $726 million. Fair value gains (loss) related to IFRS 16 ROU assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $(15) million (2019 - $(1) million). As of September 30, 2020, ROU investment properties was $746 million (December 31, 2019 - $752 million).

2020 Conditions

Due to the market uncertainty from the shutdown, the partnership has made adjustments to its cash flow models for all properties within the partnership’s equity accounted investments to reflect its assumptions with respect to rent collections, potential tenant bankruptcies, anticipated length of closures and travel restrictions. These assumptions considered all information available to the partnership at the time of the valuation. The partnership’s share of fair value losses primarily from the partnership’s Core Retail joint ventures reflects updated cashflow assumptions on a suite-by-suite basis with revised market leasing assumptions, vacancy reserve, downtime, retention assumptions and capital costs. The partnership has updated valuation metrics where necessary to reflect changes in the property level risk profile, most notably where we have concerns with anchor tenants who have recently filed for bankruptcy. Please see Note 3, Investment Properties for further information.

2019 Transactions

In the first quarter of 2019, the deconsolidation of BSREP III resulted in a decrease to equity accounted investments of $1,434 million. Please see Note 3, Investment Properties for further information.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the partnership acquired its joint venture partners’ incremental interest in Park Meadows in Colorado, Towson Town Center in Maryland, Perimeter Mall in Georgia, and Shops at Merrick Park in Florida, to bring its ownership to 100% and concurrently sold its interest in Bridgewater Commons in New Jersey to the joint venture partner. Prior to the acquisition, the partnership’s joint venture interest was reflected as equity accounted investments. As a result, the partnership gained control of the investments and consolidated its results.

NOTE 5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant, and equipment primarily consists of hospitality assets such as Center Parcs UK, a portfolio of extended-stay hotels in the U.S. and a hotel at International Financial Center (“IFC Seoul”).

The following table presents the useful lives of each hospitality asset by class:

Hospitality assets by class	Useful life (in years)
Building and building improvements	5 to 50+
Land improvements	14 to 15
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	2 to 15

In the first half of 2020, the hospitality sector had the most immediate and acute impact from the shutdown as the majority of the partnership’s hospitality investments were closed, and currently remain closed or are operating a reduced occupancy, either as a result of mandatory closure orders from various government authorities or due to severe travel restrictions. As a result of these closures, the partnership identified impairment indicators and performed impairment tests for each of the partnership’s hospitality investments based on revised cash flows and valuation metrics. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the partnership recognized impairment of its property, plant and equipment of $29 million and $246 million, respectively, of which nil and $179 million, respectively, relates to the Atlantis prior to deconsolidation of the investment. The impairmentwas recorded as a reduction in the revaluation surplus included in other comprehensive income.

In the third quarter of 2020, the partnership completed the recapitalization of the Atlantis with a consortium of investors who made a total commitment of $300 million in the form of preferred equity. The partnership committed to 41.5% of the total commitment, of which $54 million is unfunded as of September 30, 2020. An affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management committed to 41.5% and the remaining 17% was committed by third party investors. In connection with the recapitalization, the partnership and the affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management were granted equal approval rights which resulted in a change of control. The partnership deconsolidated its investment in the Atlantis and now accounts for its interest under the equity method (refer to Note 4, Equity Accounted Investments). The fair value of the equity accounted investment has been determined on a provisional basis as of September 30, 2020. The partnership recognized a gain on loss of control of $62 million in fair value gains, net.

(2)The prior year includes the impact of the deconsolidation of BSREP III investments. See Note 3, Investment Properties for further information. The current year includes the impact of deconsolidation of the Atlantis.

(3)The current year impairment losses were recorded in revaluation losses, net in other comprehensive income and fair value (losses) gains, net in the income statement, which was a result of the impairment tests performed on each of the partnership’s hospitality investments from the impact of the shutdown as discussed above.

NOTE 6. GOODWILL

Goodwill of $1,019 million at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $1,041 million) is primarily attributable to Center Parcs UK and IFC Seoul. The partnership normally 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.

The partnership tested the goodwill attributed to Center Parcs for impairment and trademark assets as of September 30, 2020 as a result of intermittent closures and occupancy restrictions in place due to the shutdown as well as subsequent closures in October 2020. Based on the impairment test, no impairment was recorded as the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit of $4,382 million exceeded the carrying value of the cash-generating unit of $4,105 million. The recoverable amount was determined based on a value-in-use approach based on a terminal capitalization rate of 7.8% and a discount rate of 9.8%.

NOTE 7. 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.

The trademark assets of Center Parcs UK had a carrying amount of $930 million as of September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $956 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.

At September 30, 2020, intangible assets of the Atlantis had a carrying value of nil (December 31, 2019 - $205 million) due to deconsolidation of the investment. Refer to Note 4, Equity Accounted Investments and Note 5, Property, Plant and Equipment for further detail.

Intangible assets by class	Useful life (in years)
Trademarks	Indefinite
Management contracts	40
Customer relationships	9
Other	4 to 7

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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the partnership recognized an impairment of its intangible assets related to Atlantis of $18 million. The recoverable amount was determined based on a value-in-use approach, which reflected a reduction in estimated operating cash flows as a result of the closure of Atlantis due to the shutdown. The impairment was recorded as a charge through the income statement during the first and second quarters of 2020.

The following table presents the components of the partnership’s intangible assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

(US$ Millions)	Sep. 30, 2020		Dec. 31, 2019
Derivative assets	$	92	$	80

Total accounts receivable and other	$	1,713	$	1,407

(1)     See Note 30, Related Parties, for further discussion

With respect to accounts receivable, the partnership recorded a $93 million loss allowance in commercial property operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the partnership has collected approximately 96% of third quarter office rents and 68% of third quarter retail rents. While working to preserve profitability and cash flow, the partnership is also working with its tenants regarding requests for lease concessions and other forms of assistance, although the partnership has not actually executed a significant number of agreements as of September 30, 2020. While the partnership anticipates that it may grant further rent concessions, such as the deferral or abatement of lease payments, such rent concession requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Where tenants are expected to be able to meet their lease obligations after concessions have been granted, the allowance for expected credit losses includes only the portion of the expected abatements that is deemed attributable to the current period, considering the weighted average remaining lease terms. Not all requests for rent relief will be granted as the partnership does not intend to forgo its legally enforceable contractual rights that exist under its lease agreements.

The partnership generally believes that it will be able to either extend the maturity date, repay, or refinance the debt that is scheduled to mature in 2020-2021, however, approximately 4% of its debt obligations represent non-recourse mortgages where the partnership has suspended contractual payment, and is currently engaging in modification or restructuring discussions with the respective creditors. The partnership is generally seeking relief given the circumstances resulting from the global economic slowdown, and may or may not be successful with these negotiations. If the partnership is unsuccessful, it is possible that certain properties securing these loans could be transferred to the lenders.

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

The partnership is a flow-through entity for tax purposes and as such is not subject to Bermudian taxation.

The components of income tax expense include the following:

	Three months ended Sep. 30,				Nine months ended Sep. 30,
(US$ Millions)	2020		2019		2020		2019

Deferred income tax	81		132		159		128

The partnership’s income tax expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to changes in book income/(loss). This decrease was partially offset by changes in tax legislation and increasing tax rates in certain investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense was also partially offset by a reversal of a timing difference resulting from an internal restructuring of how the partnership holds some of its retail investments that occurred in 2019.

c)Limited partnership units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP (“Exchange LP”)

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 June 9, 2021, 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.

BPYU Units were issued to former GGP Inc. (“GGP”) common shareholders who elected to receive BPYU Units as consideration. Each BPYU Unit is structured to provide an economic return equivalent to an LP Unit. The holder of a BPYU Unit has the right, at any time, to request the unit be redeemed for cash equivalent to the value of an LP Unit. In the event the holder of a BPYU 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, BPYU Units participate in earnings and distribution on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of LP Units. The partnership presents BPYU Units as a component of non-controlling interest.

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 26. 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, 2020, the partnership incurred $8 million and $20 million (2019 - $8 million and $19 million), respectively, of expense in connection with its unit-based compensation plans.

a)BPY Unit Option Plan

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. 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 September 30, 2020.

i.Equity-settled BPY Awards

The change in the number of options outstanding under the equity-settled BPY Awards at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

NOTE 28. 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, 2020, the partnership has commitments totaling:

•approximately $2,447 million for the development of Manhattan West in Midtown New York, Greenpoint Landing in Brooklyn, 755 Figueroa in Los Angeles and Halley Rise in Washington D.C. as well as the redevelopment of One Allen Center, Two Allen Center, and Three Allen Center in Houston;

•approximately A$1,069 million ($766 million) for the development of; 1 The Esplanade in Sydney; 405 Bourke Street in Melbourne; and Elizabeth Quay in Perth;

•approximately £16 million ($21 million) for the development of 100 Bishopsgate and Principal Place Residential in London;

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

        31

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:

	Sep. 30, 2020								Dec. 31, 2019

NOTE 32. SEGMENT INFORMATION

a)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. The partnership’s operating segments are organized into four reportable segments: i) Core Office, ii) Core Retail, iii) LP Investments and iv) Corporate. This is consistent with how the partnership presents financial information to the CODM and investors. These segments are independently and regularly reviewed and managed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the CODM.

b)Basis of measurement

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.

        35

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.

NOTE 33. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 5th, 2020, the board of directors declared a quarterly distribution on the partnership’s LP Units of $0.3325 per unit ($1.33 on an annualized basis) payable on December 31, 2020 to unitholders of record at the close of business on November 30, 2020.

In October 2020, the government of the United Kingdom announced a second national lockdown from November 5th through December 2nd in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible to forecast with certainty the full scope of the economic impact of the regional lockdown, but the partnership does not anticipate a material impact to the business.

In October 2020, the partnership entered into definitive agreements to sell its self-storage portfolio in the U.S. and a Core Office asset in London. The transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.
