Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To thePartners of TIMWEN Partnership

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TIMWEN Partnershipas of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, partners’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 28, 2014. The Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TIMWEN Partnership as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 28, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TIMWEN Partnership

Notes to Financial Statements

(In Thousands of Canadian Dollars)

1. Nature of operations

The TIMWEN Partnership is between Barhav Developments Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of TDL Group Corp. Ltd. (TDL)) and Wendy’s Restaurants of Canada Inc. (WROC), and was formed in 1995. The partnership leases restaurant facilities to WROC and TDL.

Fiscal year

The partnership’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The 2014, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years consisted of 52 weeks.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies partnership accounts

Partnership accounts

The accompanying financial statements include only the assets and liabilities of the business carried on under the name TIMWEN Partnership and do not include other assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the partners. No provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements since income of the partnership is taxable in the hands of the partners.

Basis of presentation

The partnership prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

The functional currency of the partnership is the local currency in which it operates, which is the Canadian dollar, as the majority of the partnership’s operations and cash flows are based in Canada and the partnership’s operations are primarily managed in Canadian dollars. The partnership’s reporting currency is the Canadian dollar.

Revenue-producing properties

Revenue-producing properties are stated at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Acquisition cost comprises land acquisition and building construction costs. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following rates:

Buildings     Up to 40 years

Leasehold improvements and deferred design costs and other     The lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term

Construction-in-progress        Stated at cost and is not amortized

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are analyzed for impairment at the individual restaurant level, which represents the lowest level of independent cash flow for the business. They are tested for impairment whenever an event or circumstance occurs that indicates impairment may exist, including a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the end of its estimated useful life. There were no such events in the current or prior year.

Leases

When determining the lease terms, the partnership includes the renewal period for which failure to renew the lease imposes an economic penalty in such an amount that a renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. The primary penalty to which the partnership is subject is the economic detriment associated with the existence of leasehold improvements that might be impaired if the partnership chooses not to exercise the available renewal options.

Minimum lease payments, including scheduled rent increases, are recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis (straight-line rent) over the applicable lease terms and any period during which the partnership has the use of the property but is not charged rent by a landlord. Lease terms are generally for 20 years and, in most cases, provide for rent escalations and renewal options.

Investment in Grimsby Food Court Ltd.

The investment in the Grimsby Food Court Ltd. is accounted for as an equity investment. The investment is analyzed for other than temporary impairment where evidence exists that there is an inability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amounts of the investment. No such indicator was noted in the current or prior year.

Deferred lease inducements

Lease inducements are leasehold improvements paid by landlords and are recorded as a liability and amortized as a reduction in rent expense. They are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term which is typically a minimum of 20 years.

Revenue recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on a percentage of sales volume and is recognized as earned.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
