INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT
Item 1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. Our fiscal year end is April 30th. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which may differ from US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Overview
We own and operate the RED Mountain Resort, a ski area in Rossland, British Columbia. We also own, and are developing, certain real estate surrounding RED Mountain.
We earn our revenues in five principal categories. In order of their contribution, they are: lift tickets and season passes, food and beverage sales, retail sales and equipment rental, property management and real estate sales. Our property management revenues are derived from property management services rendered to the owners of condominiums at the base of RED Mountain.
Our single largest source of revenue is the sale of lift tickets (including season passes) which represented approximately 82% and 85% of total revenues for the six-month periods ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. Lift ticket revenue is driven by the volume of lift tickets and season passes sold and their pricing. Most of our season pass products are sold before the start of the ski season.
The cost structure of our operations has a significant fixed component with variable expenses including, but not limited to, retail and food and beverage cost of sales, labor, power and utilities. As such, profit margins can fluctuate based on the level of revenues.
The timing and duration of favorable weather conditions impact our revenues in regard to the timing and number of skier visits. Though the amount of snowfall early in the ski season does encourage skier visits, our ski resort has snowmaking capabilities in the event that the natural snowfall is insufficient. Cold weather, however, is essential to a successful ski season. There is no way to predict favorable weather conditions in the future. We sell season passes prior to the start of the ski season to help mitigate any negative effects that unfavorable weather may have on our revenues.
In addition to our ski resort operations, we are now focusing on the other three seasons of the year and extending the RED brand to four-season activities. This effort began in December 2015, with the creation of the Get Lost Adventure Centre. Get Lost has a permanent location at the base of RED Mountain as well as a centralized on-line booking engine offering year-round concierge services for such recreational activities as mountain biking, mountaineering, fishing and trail rides in conjunction with established operators in the Kootenay region. We believe that the Four Star, 106 room Josie Hotel which opened in 2018, at the base of RED Mountain, which is owned and operated by a third party, has positioned itself as a true four-season resort and will take advantage of the activities offered at Get Lost. These activities, along with events, conferences and weddings, are expected to generate additional revenue and profits.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Our overall revenue for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $2,134,197, compared to $1,727,877 for the same period during 2017. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased season pass sales.
2 |
Lift ticket and season pass revenue for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $1,739,851, compared to $1,461,464 for the same period during 2017.
Food and beverage revenue for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $77,045, compared to $56,640 for the same period during 2017.
Retail sales and equipment rental revenue for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $993, compared to $0 for the same period during 2017.
Property management revenue for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $185,599, compared to $113,023 USD for the same period during 2017, which for the six month period ended was included under “Other Revenue”.
Other revenue for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $130,709, compared to $209,773, for the same period during 2017. Other revenue is comprised of day care services and facilities rentals. The decrease in other revenue was primarily due to property management revenue being classified separately for the six-month period ended October 31, 2017.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $669, compared to $4,554 for the same period during 2017.
Gross Profits
As a result of the foregoing, gross profit was $2,133,528 for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, compared to $1,723,323 for the same period during 2017.
Operating Expenses
Our overall operating expenses for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were $2,086,194, compared to $2,206,857, for the same period during 2017.
Labor and labor related expenses for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were $767,574, compared to $793,269 for the same period during 2017.
Depreciation expense for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $88,908, compared to $85,216 for the same period during 2017.
Selling and marketing expenses for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were $26,528, compared to $14,695 for the same period during 2017.
Equipment rental and lease expenses for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were $40,279, compared to $50,792, for the same period during 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to fewer equipment rentals.
Property taxes for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were $48,338, compared to $38,739, for the same period during 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to tax assessments.
General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were $1,114,567, compared to $1,224,146 for the same period during 2017.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Net income from operations for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $47,334, compared to a net loss from operations of $483,534, for the same period during 2017.
3 |
Other Expenses
Interest expense for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was ($188,805), compared to $302,425 for the same period during 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to a one-time event (debt conversion) in the prior year that created interest revenue.
Net Loss
Net loss for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, was $141,471, compared to $181,109, for the same period during 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Principal Sources of Cash
Our available cash is the highest in our fourth fiscal quarter primarily due to the seasonality of our resort business, and the sale of season passes for the next ski season. We had $518,777 in cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2018, compared to $71,893 at October 31, 2017. The increase in cash is primarily as a result of season pass sales and an infusion of $500,000 in cash by a director of our general partner.See – Debt and Credit Facilities. ]
We currently anticipate that cash flow from operations will continue to provide a significant source of our operating needs. We expect that our liquidity needs for the near term and the next fiscal year will be met by continued use of operating cash flows (primarily those generated in our third and fourth fiscal quarters).
Significant Uses of Cash
Our cash uses currently include operating expenditures and capital expenditures for assets to be used in operations. We have historically invested significant cash in capital expenditures for our resort operations and expect to continue to invest in the future. Resort capital expenditures for the six-month period ended October 31, 2018, were approximately $510,861, compared to $387,932 for the same period during 2017. Capital expenditures vary year by year based on available cash and our needs to update and add equipment.
Debt and Credit Facilities
The Bank of Montreal (the “BMO”) has provided an overdraft credit facility to Red Resort Limited Partnership (RRLP) in the principal amount of CDN$1,000,000, bearing interest at prime plus 1.5%, and secured by a vacant lot directly below the Morning Star development. When RRLP’s operating bank account balance reaches zero, the BMO Line of Credit Agreement allows RRLP to draw checks or make withdrawals of up to CDN$1,000,000. Interest is calculated and charged by BMO in any month when RRLP makes use of this line of credit (or overdraft). The interest charged to the operating account is dependent upon the amount the account has gone into overdraft and the length of time the account is in an overdraft position. Repayments of principal are made at the discretion of RRLP. The credit facility is to be used for general working capital. As of October 31, 2018 a balance of CDN $224,022 in principal was outstanding under this credit facility, with no interest accrued.
RRLP is a party to two fixed rate term loan agreements with BMO that are guaranteed by Leroi Acquisition Corp., RMR Acquisition Corp and Red Property Management Ltd. The first loan is for CDN$4,200,000, has a 300 month term, and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 3%. It requires monthly payments of interest and principal payments of CDN$28,000 in December, January, February, March, April and May of each year. The loan was used, in part, to pay down previously existing loans. The second loan is for CDN$1,600,000, has a 60 month term, and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 3%. It requires monthly payments of interest and principal of CDN$26,666.67 in December, January, February, March, April and May of each year. As of October 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance of the first loan was CDN$4,144,000, with no interest outstanding, and the outstanding principal balance of the second loan was CDN$1,546,667, with no interest outstanding.
In order to fund certain development activities and operations Jeff Busby, a director of the general partner, loaned RMR CDN$500,000 on July 7, 2017, CDN$500,000 on September 8, 2017 and CDN$500,000 on September 14, 2018. The loans are book-entry only, unsecured and bear interest at 6% per annum, compounded annually. Repayments of CDN$117,000 and CDN$129,100 were made on January 5, 2018, and February 1, 2018, respectively. As of October 31, 2018, an aggregate of CDN$1,253,900 in principal and CDN$66,231 in interest were due and outstanding to Mr. Busby.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared in United States Dollars, under the historical cost convention. The accounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its aforementioned subsidiaries and entities under common ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The ownership interest in subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Partnership are recorded as non-controlling interest and reported in management’s consolidated balance sheets within partnership interest. Losses attributed to the non-controlling interest and to the Partnership are reported separately in management’s consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Partnership will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.
While management’s projected cash flows are forecasted to be sufficient to meet the Partnership’s obligations over the next 12 months, management believes it is prudent to continue its capital raising efforts in case its forecast is not achieved. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, increased gross profit from organic revenue growth and managing and reducing operating and overhead costs.
However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Partnership will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at any time within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Partnership to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.
However, based upon an evaluation of the Partnership’s continued growth trajectory, past success in raising capital and meetings its obligations as well as its plans for raising capital discussed above, management believes that the Partnership is a going concern.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheets is comprised of cash at bank and on hand. Cash and cash equivalents include cash at hand and short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and are therefore considered to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash is comprised of term deposit funds which secure letters of credit. The deposits mature and are rolled over annually. The company has agreements in place with the Bank of Montreal that require the deposits related to certain credit facilities. As of October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, the restricted cash balance was $19,410 and $19,854, respectively.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Partnership establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively.

Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of purchased retail goods, food and beverage items and rental equipment. The Partnership’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using primarily an average weighted cost method.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation on assets is calculated using the diminishing balance method by applying the depreciation rate to the net book value of the asset, resulting in a diminishing annual charge. The cost/net book value is allocated over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
No. of years | ||
Building | 25 | |
Trail improvement | 12.5 | |
Lifts and tows and snow infrastructure | 16.7 | |
Furniture, fittings & equipment | 5 | |
Vehicles | 3.3 |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within the profit and loss account.
Property under development
The Partnership capitalizes as real estate held for sale and investment the original land acquisition cost, direct construction and development costs, property taxes, interest recorded on costs related to real estate under development and other related costs. The Partnership records capitalized interest once construction activities commence and real estate deposits have been utilized in construction. Development costs are applied against sale proceeds on a square footage basis.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill arose on the acquisition of Red Mountain Resort Inc. in 2004 and subsequent amalgamation with RMRAC and consists of the excess of the purchase price of the shares over the net book value of the assets of Red Mountain Resort Inc. at the date of acquisition. The goodwill is attributed substantially to land value. The Partnership tests goodwill annually for impairment. The testing of impairment consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the assets with their net carrying value. The Partnership determined that there was no impairment to goodwill for the six months ended October 31, 2018 and the year ended April 30, 2018.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Long-lived assets
The Partnership periodically reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Partnership recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. The Partnership does not believe any events or changes in circumstances indicating an impairment of the net carrying amount of a long-lived asset occurred during the six months ended October 31, 2018 or the year ended April 30, 2018.
Capital leases contracts
Assets held under equipment lease agreements are capitalized in the balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful life. The corresponding purchase obligation is capitalized in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of the obligation is charged to the profit or loss account over the period of the contract and represents a constant proportion of the balance sheet capital repayments outstanding.
Investment in joint ventures
The Partnership owns a 50% interest in That Seventies Project, a real estate development project, and has capitalized approximately $6.0 million and $ 6.0 million, in development assets as of October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, respectively.
The Partnership owns a 49.99% interest in the Hannah Creek Project, a real estate development project, and has capitalized approximately $1.8 million and $1.8 million, in development assets as of October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, respectively.
The Partnership owns a 46.49% interest in the Slalom Creek and has not incurred and or capitalized any costs in connection with this venture. This entity is expected to be dissolved in the near future.
The Partnership owns a 12.8% interest in the Red Mountain Hostel (CBT) Holdings Ltd., a joint venture project to construct and operate a hostel-style, short-term accommodation facility. The partnership contributed land with a fair market value of $274,023. As of October 31, 2018 the project is still under construction and the Partnership has not capitalized any costs in connection with this venture.
Foreign currencies
The functional currency of the Partnership is Canadian Dollar (CAD). The reporting currency of the financial statements is United States Dollars (USD). Income and expenses for each statement of profit and loss shall be translated at an average exchange rate for the year. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rates. All differences are taken to the other comprehensive income or loss.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in CAD into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized when they can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Partnership and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received less any trade discounts, volume rebates and returns.
Revenues are highly seasonal. The ski season generally runs from mid-December to early April. Red Property Management Ltd. Operates year round but sees limited business between May and November. Leroi Acquisition Corp. operates only during the ski season. Between May and November Red Resort Limited Partnership performs maintenance, completes capital projects and develops sales and marketing plans for the coming ski season.
Following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be met before revenue is recognized:
· | Lift revenue is derived from a wide variety of sources, including sale of lift tickets and season passes, and is recognized as services are performed. The Partnership records deferred revenue related to sale of season ski passes. The majority of season passes are sold from March 15 to April 30 each year for the following ski season and the related revenue is recognized in the first month of the new fiscal year. Season pass revenues received from May 1 to March 15 are recognized when received. |
· | Retail and rental revenue is derived from retail sales and equipment rentals business and is recognized as products are delivered or services are performed. |
· | Property management revenue is derived from providing reservations and property management services for the privately owned condominium rental units and is recognized as services are performed. |
· | Food and beverage revenue is derived from sale of food and beverage from three Partnership-owned restaurants and is recognized as products are delivered or services are performed. |
· | Real estate revenue primarily includes the sale of condominium units and land parcels and is recorded primarily using the full accrual method and occurs only upon the following: (i) substantial completion of the entire development project, (ii) receipt of certificates of occupancy or temporary certificates of occupancy from local governmental agencies, if applicable, (iii) closing of the sales transaction including receipt of all, or substantially all, sales proceeds (including any deposits previously received) and (iv) transfer of ownership. |

Selling and marketing expense
The Partnership expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Selling and marketing costs were $26,528 and $14,695 for the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from consolidated net earnings.
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted
The IASB and IFRIC have issued the following standards and with an effective date after the date of the financial statements and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 16 Leases-IFRS 16 specifies how a Partnership will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. IFRS 16 will be applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2019.
Unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use. The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits. Estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences. An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilization of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts- IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts with the scope of standard. An insurance contract is a contract in which one party accepts significant risk by agreeing to compensate the policy holder if a specified uncertain future event takes place. The standard is applicable to insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, which the entity issues or holds. Contracts that meet the definition but primarily exist to provide services for a fixed fee are subject to IFRS 17 unless the entity has applied IFRS 15 to the service contracts. IFRS 17 will be applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2021.
On initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfillment of cash flow or the contractual service margin. An entity shall include all future cash flows within each contract. At subsequent measurement the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Partnership.
NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Partnership makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the year of the change, if the change affects that year only, or in the year of the change and future years, if the change affects both.
Information about critical assumptions in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:
Taxation
The Limited Partnership accounts for income taxes in accordance with International Accounting Standard 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”).
· | Partnership |
Partnership income, losses, assets, and liabilities are all attributable to the partners. As per the Canada Income Tax Act, partnerships do not file separate tax returns. The partnerships file annual “information returns” setting out their income and details of the partners who are entitled to that income. It is the partners who are required to pay income tax. The limited partnership is simply a flow-through entity. The net income of the partners (for income tax purposes) of a limited partnership is based on the net income of the limited partnership.
The net income of the limited partnership, the Act states that it is treated as if it were a separate legal person: s. 96(1)(a). Include income and deduct allowable expenses and other credits. The limited partnership’s income will be attributed to the partners (as per the limited partnership agreement). Each partner must report their income or losses from the partnership and pay taxes accordingly: s. 96(1)(f).
· | Corporations |
The Partnership owns a number of entities that are classified as a Corporation for tax purposes:
For such Corporations: Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit and loss, except for income taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current income tax, if any, is the expected amount payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, calculated in accordance with applicable taxation laws and regulations, using income tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustments to amounts payable or receivable relating to prior years.

(US$) |
NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)
Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method based on temporary differences arising between the income tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using income tax rates and income tax laws and regulations that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income taxes are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. To the extent that the Partnership does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxing authority and the Partnership intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The Partnership did not record any Corporation related Current or Deferred income tax, since by tax law it does not flow through to the Partnership level.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Partnership measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Partnership is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Valuations are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The recorded amounts for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 9 – PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Property under development includes costs directly related to construction and carrying charges during construction such as interest and property taxes. Development costs are applied against sale proceeds on a square footage basis. The Partnership was created in 2004 to own companies that acquired the resort’s assets. The transactions resulted in goodwill of approximately $4.3 million. Substantially all of the goodwill was attributed to the value of the real estate associated with the acquisition. As such, goodwill has been allocated to land development costs since inception and has been amortized on a pro rata basis as cost of sales related to sales of real estate. The balance of goodwill attributed to land and development costs were approximately $3.1 million and $3.1 million as of October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, respectively.

No deferred tax asset in respect of corporation level tax losses has been recognized given the uncertainty over the timing of future profits against which they can be offset. Partnership management believes it is more likely than not that any such losses will not be recognized by the Partnership. As of April 30, 2018, if the Partnership had recorded a future benefit for income taxes, the amount would have totaled approximately $3.5 million. No events have taken place as of October 31, 2018 that would have materially impacted this estimate.
