DUNDEE CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
June 30, 2010
DUNDEE CORPORATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared with an effective date of August 10, 2010 and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Dundee Corporation, including the notes thereto, as at and for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”) and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Financial data has been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) unless otherwise specified. All amounts are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise speci fied.
Dundee Corporation (the “Company” or “Dundee Corporation” or “we”) is an independent publicly traded Canadian asset management company with its core focus in the areas of wealth management, real estate and resources. Wealth management activities are carried out by its 61% controlled subsidiary, DundeeWealth Inc. (“DundeeWealth”). Third party asset management and sub-advisory activities are carried out by Ned Goodman Investment Counsel Limited (“NGIC”), a registered portfolio manager and exempt market dealer across Canada, and an investment fund manager in the province of Ontario, and by Dundee Real Estate Asset Management (“DREAM”), the asset management division of Dundee Realty Corporation (“Dundee Realty”), our 70% owned subsidiary. In addition to our third party asset management activities, Dundee Corporation also owns and manages its own direct investments in these same core focus areas, through ownership of both publicly listed and private companies and through direct ownership in real estate and resource operations. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol DC.A.
The Company holds direct investments in various industry sectors and our ownership interest in these investments is established through different entities and structures which create differing accounting treatments. Our investments are accounted for as follows:
(i) | Our subsidiaries are not recorded as individual investments. Instead, the subsidiaries are consolidated in our financial statements, whereby 100% of the subsidiaries’ accounts are recorded on a line-by-line basis in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations, and are then subject to non-controlling interest. |
(ii) | The carrying values of our investments that are classified as equity accounted investees are adjusted by our share of earnings or losses in the investee, and by any dilution in our ownership interest. Our share of earnings or losses from equity accounted investees, as well as any gain or loss resulting from a dilution in our ownership interest, is reported in our consolidated statements of operations as “Share of earnings of equity accounted investees”. In addition, we may recognize a fair value adjustment against the carrying values of our equity accounted investments if their fair value falls below their carrying value and we determine that the decrease in fair value is other-than-temporary in nature. |
(iii) | Available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities are generally carried on the consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until a sale or other-than-temporary impairment is recognized, at which point cumulative unrealized gains or losses are transferred to net earnings. |
(iv) | Certain investments held by our subsidiaries have been classified as trading securities. Trading securities are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in net earnings. |
OPERATING SEGMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS
Changes in Segmented Information
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company redefined the business segments in which it operates in order to more appropriately reflect changes in its underlying business activities. A more detailed description of the changes in each business segment is provided below. Prior period segmented information has been restated to conform with the current period segmented presentation.
Wealth Management
The Company’s wealth management segment consists of the operations of DundeeWealth, a publicly traded wealth management company that provides diversified wealth management and investment solutions including alternative and tax-advantaged products, capital markets and advisory services to financial advisors, institutions, corporations and foundations, and innovative wealth management through independent financial advisors across Canada. Additional information regarding DundeeWealth may be accessed at www.dundeewealth.com.
Real Estate
The real estate segment consists of the business activities of Dundee Realty, a private company with operating activities in the land and housing business in Canada and the United States. These activities are supplemented by a portfolio of select income generating properties. Our real estate segment also includes the results of our 11% interest in Dundee Real Estate Investment Trust (“Dundee REIT”) (see “Real Estate Segment – Dundee REIT”). Additional information regarding Dundee REIT may be accessed at www.dundeereit.com.
Resource
The resource segment includes both our 54% interest in Eurogas Corporation (“Eurogas”) (www.eurogascorp.com), a company involved in oil and gas production in Ontario and the development of a natural gas storage facility in Spain, and our 53% interest in Eurogas International Inc. (“EII”) (www.eurogasinternational.com), a company which carries out oil and gas exploration and evaluation activities in Tunisia. The resource segment also includes certain other significant portfolio holdings, including our approximate 23% interest in Dundee Precious Metals In c. (“Dundee Precious”) (www.dundeeprecious.com) (see “Resource Segment – Dundee Precious Metals Inc.”), and our approximate 24% interest in Breakwater Resources Ltd. (“Breakwater”) (www.breakwater.ca) (see “Resource Segment – Breakwater Resources Ltd.”), all of which are accounted for on an equity basis.
Asset Management
Our asset management segment includes the activities undertaken by NGIC, by DREAM and by Dundee Resources Ltd. At June 30, 2010, NGIC and DREAM provided sub-advisory and investment services to approximately $6.8 billion of third party assets under management. NGIC, together with Dundee Resources Ltd., also provides investment services in respect of the Company’s portfolio of AFS securities, other than those investments associated with wealth management activities. These investments include both publicly traded and private companies in a variety of sectors as well as liquid securities such as mutual funds.
The asset management segment includes general corporate overhead costs, as well as interest and debt servicing costs, to the extent that such costs have not been specifically allocated to any operating division.
Significant Investments
The following table illustrates our significant portfolio investments, including our percentage ownership interest, the accounting treatment used to account for each investment, the book value of the investment (other than for consolidated subsidiaries), and the market values for investments that are publicly listed securities, determined using quoted trading prices as at June 30, 2010.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and are reported in Canadian dollars. We believe that important measures of our operating performance and the operating performance of our subsidiaries include certain measures that are not defined under Canadian GAAP and, as such, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Throughout this discussion, there will be references to the following performance measures which management believes are relevant in assessing the economics of our business. While these measures are non-GAAP, the Company uses them as supplementary measures to net earnings.
· | “AUM” or “Assets under Management” represent the period-end market value of client assets managed by our asset management subsidiaries on a discretionary basis and in respect of which our wealth management subsidiaries earn investment management fees and, in certain cases, performance fees. AUM are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. |
· | “AUA” or “Assets under Administration” represent the approximate period-end market value of client assets administered by our wealth management subsidiaries and in respect of which our wealth management subsidiaries earn commissions, trailer service fees and administrative or other similar fees. AUA are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. |
· | “EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We use this measure as a supplement to net earnings and cash flows. |
· | “Operating Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Other Non-Cash Items” or “Operating EBITDA” and “Operating Earnings” are set out in the consolidated statements of operations of the Company. |
· | “Contribution Margin” or “Margins” is an important measure of earnings in our real estate segment and represents real estate earnings before related selling, general and administrative expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. |

Net earnings for the period | | $ | 51,228 | | | $ | 29,873 | | | $ | 75,125 | | | $ | 21,629 | |
Improved earnings in our wealth management segment reflect the impact of the increase in DundeeWealth’s AUM during 2009 and the first half of 2010, with AUM levels reaching $38.0 billion at June 30, 2010. In May 2010, Dynamic Funds became the 8th largest fund company in Canada, with market share increasing to 4.11% at June 30, 2010, compared with 3.99% at March 31, 2010 and 3.33% at June 30, 2009.
During the first half of 2010, DundeeWealth disposed of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) for cash proceeds of $38.8 million, resulting in a gain of $33.3 million, before income taxes and non-controlling interests. In the comparative period of the prior year, net earnings before non-controlling interests from our wealth management segment included a pre-tax fair value adjustment gain of $46.0 million relating to DundeeWealth’s investment in floating rate notes (“FRNs”), offset by a pre-tax impairment loss of $9.5 million on DundeeWealth’s CLO portfolio.
Strengthened by stronger demand in essentially all markets, and most notably in western Canada, earnings in our real estate segment more than doubled to $25.8 million in the first six months of this year compared with $10.3 million earned in the same period of the prior year. Growth in operating EBITDA to $33.2 million during the first six months of 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $20.0 million), as well as improved equity earnings from our investment in Dundee REIT, contributed to this growth.
Earnings from our resource segment were $20.2 million during the first half of this year. This compares with earnings of $0.7 million in the first half of the prior year. This growth reflects stronger earnings from our equity accounted investments.
Earnings from asset management activities were $25.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Investment income of $34.5 million, stemming primarily from the sale of certain resource-based AFS securities, was offset by net operating expenses in this segment. In the first six months of the prior year, this segment incurred losses of $2.4 million.

Many of our investments during the first half of 2010 continued to be in the resource sector or were resource-based. We also received proceeds from dispositions of AFS securities of $102.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, including proceeds of $38.8 million from DundeeWealth’s disposition of certain CLO investments.

DundeeWealth Inc.
Results of Operations
During the first half of 2010, DundeeWealth earned operating EBITDA of $149.0 million and operating earnings of $84.1 million, before non-controlling interests. This compares with operating EBITDA of $63.7 million and operating earnings of $43.5 million for the same period of the prior year. As previously indicated, operating EBITDA in the first six months of 2010 includes a realized investment gain of $33.3 million on the disposition of a significant portion of DundeeWealth’s investment in CLOs. Operating earnings in the comparative period of the prior year included a fair value gain of $46.0 million relating to DundeeWealth’s investment in FRNs, partially offset by a $9.5 million fair value loss on its portf olio of CLOs.
DundeeWealth’s AUM increased to $38.0 billion at June 30, 2010, representing a 5% increase over AUM levels of $36.1 billion at December 31, 2009 and a 28% increase over AUM levels of $29.8 billion at June 30 of the prior year.

Through its Dynamic family of funds, DundeeWealth led the industry in net mutual fund sales, as reported by the Investment Funds Institute of Canada (“IFIC”). Gross additions to AUM during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $5.4 billion, an increase of 94% over gross additions of $2.8 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross additions was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in redemptions compared to the first six months of the prior year.
DundeeWealth’s consolidated revenues during the first half of 2010 were $465.8 million, including the $33.3 million in gains from the sale of CLOs. Excluding these investment gains, consolidated revenues increased 27% over consolidated revenues of $340.3 million during the first half of the prior year.

Management fee revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $275.0 million, representing an increase of $85.7 million or 45% over management fee revenues earned in the same period of the prior year. Management fee revenue is predominantly determined based on the market value of AUM calculated on the last business day of each month. Average AUM, excluding AUM in discretionary portfolios, increased by 42% to $35.7 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $25.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2009, significantly contributing to the growth in management fee revenues. In addition, the average management fee rate increased to 1.48% in the first half of 2010 compared with 1.44% in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Financial services revenues include commission and trailer fees, revenue from capital markets activities and portfolio trading revenues. Financial services revenues of $144.8 million earned during the first half of 2010 increased modestly over financial services revenues of $142.0 million earned during the same period of the prior year.
Retail commissions were $117.0 million in the first half of 2010 compared with $110.3 million in the same period of the prior year. Included in retail commissions are trailer service fee revenues which increased by $11.1 million period-over-period, reflecting improved market values in mutual fund AUA.
As DundeeWealth’s financial advisors operate through an open architecture advice network, they may provide their clients with a wide range of DundeeWealth’s as well as other investment products for their portfolios. Transactions by financial advisors in DundeeWealth’s own investment solutions strengthen growth in AUM. Commission and trailer service fee revenues earned by DundeeWealth’s financial division and paid by DundeeWealth’s investment management division were $37.6 million in the first six months of 2010 compared with $25.8 million earned in the same period of the prior year. In accordance with accounting requirements, these intersegment commission and trailer service fee revenues are eliminated and excluded from the determination of consolidated financial services revenue.
Capital markets activities are conducted through DundeeWealth’s IIROC (Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada) member firm, Dundee Securities Corporation (“Dundee Securities”). Aggregate revenue from capital markets activities during the first half of 2010 was $50.8 million compared with $44.9 million in the first half of the prior year.
Corporate finance revenue increased by 63% to $30.4 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $18.6 million earned during the same period of the prior year. During the first six months of 2010, Dundee Securities participated in 112 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – 82) public and private new issue transactions.
Offsetting growth in capital markets activities, DundeeWealth’s principal trading activities incurred losses of $2.7 million in the first six months of 2010, compared with revenue of $14.3 million in the prior year. The loss incurred reflects some significant reversals of market values, predominantly during the second quarter of 2010, as markets have trended down, compared to significant increases experienced during the second quarter of 2009.
Operating expenses in DundeeWealth, adjusted for intersegment distribution fees, were $316.8 million in the first six months of 2010, compared with $276.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Certain expenses, such as variable compensation costs, trailer service fees and amortization of deferred commissions have increased or decreased in direct correlation with the corresponding revenue streams or AUM levels.

For the six months ended June 30, | | 2010 | | | % Change | | | 2009 | |
OPERATING EXPENSES | | | | | | | | | |

Trailer service fees | | | 82.3 | | | | 47 | % | | | 55.9 | |
| | $ | 316.8 | | | | 15 | % | | $ | 276.6 | |
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs incurred by DundeeWealth were $145.2 million in the first six months of 2010 compared with $134.3 million in the first six months of 2009. This 8% increase was primarily in support of increased revenue levels.
Consistent with the increase in financial services levels, variable compensation costs after intersegment eliminations of $30.6 million (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $21.0 million) have increased by 3% to $89.3 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $86.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Average margins from retail activities were 21.3% in the first half of 2010, slightly lower than margins of 22.1% earned in the same period of the prior year. Margins from capital markets activities during the first half of 2010 decreased to 60% from 66% in the first six months of 2009. This decrease is primarily a result of changes in the mix of capital markets activities.
Trailer service fees are paid to brokers and financial advisors to assist them in providing ongoing support to clients who have invested in DundeeWealth's products. Trailer service fees are calculated as a percentage of the fair value of the associated AUM and we would therefore expect to see increases or decreases in trailer service fee expense corresponding to increases or decreases in our average AUM during any period. Trailer fee expense represents 29.9% (June 30, 2009 - 29.5%) of aggregate management fee revenues.
On a consolidated basis, amortization of deferred sales commissions was $47.9 million in the first six months of 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – $43.4 million). Commissions paid on sales of mutual funds were $68.6 million in the first six months of 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – $38.5 million). For accounting purposes, these commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. The average commission rate paid on asset gathering activities conducted on a deferred sales charge basis during the first half of 2010 was approximately 4.0% (six months ended June 30, 2009 – 4.0%).
Changes in Financial Condition
The following is a discussion of the more significant changes in DundeeWealth’s consolidated balance sheet items from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010.
Client Accounts Receivable, and Client Deposits and Related Liabilities
Client account balances represent funds owing from or belonging to clients, and amounts due to or from brokers and dealers that are pending settlement. While the amounts may vary significantly on a day-to-day basis, they do not necessarily reflect any meaningful change in DundeeWealth’s financial position. As at June 30, 2010, client accounts receivable were $491.1 million (December 31, 2009 – $401.8 million) and consist of $199.2 million in client margin accounts (December 31, 2009 – $168.0 million) and $291.9 million in day-to-day settlement amounts (December 31, 2009 – $233.8 million). Client deposits and related liabilities were $475.8 million (December 31, 2009 – $472.6 million).
Trading Securities Owned and Securities Sold Short
Securities owned and securities sold short represent trading positions in securities at DundeeWealth’s investment dealer subsidiary, Dundee Securities. Trading positions may vary significantly on a day-to-day basis depending upon trading strategies in response to market conditions and in anticipation of price movements and do not necessarily reflect any meaningful changes to DundeeWealth’s financial position. Trading positions are recorded at their fair value based on quoted prices where available, with changes in market values being included in principal trading revenue. As at June 30, 2010, securities owned and securities sold short totalled $94.0 million (December 31, 2009 – $118.0 million) and $58.8 million (December 31, 2009 – $23.1 million), respectively.
Floating Rate Notes included in Trading Securities
As at June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth held FRNs with a par value of $68.6 million and with an estimated fair value of $5.6 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth received interest and principal payments of $1.3 million, all of which was applied to reduce the carrying value of the FRNs.
DundeeWealth continues to use a valuation model to determine the fair value of FRNs as outlined on page 15 of the Company’s MD&A accompanying the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. There is no assurance that the pricing of these assets will not increase or decline in future periods, or that the FRNs will trade at a market value which is the same as their fair value. As a result, these estimates may change materially in subsequent reporting periods.
Available-for-Sale Securities - Collateralized Loan Obligations
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth disposed of certain of its investments in CLOs for cash proceeds of $38.8 million, realizing a gain on disposition of $33.3 million. As a result of the divestiture, at June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth held seven positions in CLOs, including U.S. dollar denominated CLOs with a par value of US$21.5 million and Euro denominated CLOs with a par value of €5.5 million.
A number of market factors which had previously exerted downward pressure on CLO pricing exhibited significant improvements throughout the latter part of 2009 and into early 2010. As a result, pricing related to DundeeWealth’s CLO portfolio has also improved significantly. The unrealized market appreciation on DundeeWealth’s portfolio of CLOs has been included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as the increase was not objectively related to a credit event in the underlying collateral.
Deferred Sales Commissions
Deferred sales commissions represent amounts paid to financial advisors for sales of investment products which are then deferred and amortized over a period of five years. The June 30, 2010 balance of $257.7 million represents an increase of $20.7 million over the balance of $237.0 million at December 31, 2009. The $20.7 million increase includes $68.6 million of commissions paid during 2010, net of amortization expense of $47.9 million.
Bank Indebtedness
Dundee Securities has available call loan facilities for $98.6 million with two Canadian chartered banks. These call loan facilities are secured by either unpaid client securities and/or securities borrowed or owned by Dundee Securities and are used primarily to facilitate the securities settlement process for both client and firm inventory positions and/or to finance margin account activity. Similar to client account balances, amounts borrowed pursuant to these call loan facilities may vary significantly on a day-to-day basis depending on securities trading activity, without necessarily representing a change in DundeeWealth’s financial position. Amounts borrowed pursuant to these call loan facilities are reported a s bank indebtedness. Dundee Securities had not drawn against these facilities at June 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009 - $4.8 million), although it has issued certain letters of credit against these facilities in the amount of $2.6 million.
Corporate Debt
In September 2009, DundeeWealth completed an offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.10% Series 1 notes due September 25, 2014 (the “Notes”). The terms of the Notes are detailed in note 13 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth incurred interest costs of $5.3 million in respect of the Notes.
Series 1 Preference Shares, DundeeWealth
DundeeWealth has issued 6,225,000 4.75% cumulative redeemable first preference shares, series 1 (“Series 1 preference shares, DundeeWealth”) at a price of $25.00 per share. These shares entitle the holder to a fixed preferential cumulative dividend at the rate of 4.75% per annum, payable quarterly. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth accrued dividends of $3.7 million in respect of these preference shares. The dividends are included as interest expense in net earnings, corresponding with the classification of the preference shares as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet.
Financial Instruments
From time to time, DundeeWealth’s brokerage subsidiary may enter into various derivative contracts to meet the needs of customers, earn trading income and manage exposure to market or foreign exchange risk. At June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth’s brokerage subsidiary held foreign exchange contracts which are being used to mitigate foreign exchange exposure for its clients. The principles of hedge accounting were not applied and therefore, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may impact our operating results. These foreign exchange contracts are included in trading securities owned or trading securities sold short, as appropriate, on our consolidated balance sheet.

Margins earned from revenue properties were $5.1 million in the first six months of 2010, compared with $7.1 million in the same period of 2009.
Ski operations in Colorado generated contribution margins of $2.8 million in the first six months of 2010, a 37% decrease from margins earned in the same period of the prior year. Margin decreases reflect poor ski conditions throughout the winter ski season, leading to fewer ski visits, as well as the recent weakness of the US dollar.
Contribution margins from Dundee Realty’s 50% interest in the Distillery Historic District were $1.0 million in the first six months of 2010, decreasing 54% from contribution margins realized in the same period of the prior year. Contribution margins in the prior year included the operations of Dundee Realty’s partner in the Distillery Historic District as the project was considered a variable interest entity and was consolidated until June 2009. After adjusting for the change in accounting treatment, contribution margins decreased by 7%, reflecting higher vacancies in retail space.
Dundee Realty provided financing for and holds a 20% interest in RMS Dalhousie Mountain (“RMS”), a windmill project in Nova Scotia. RMS has entered into a power purchase agreement for renewable energy with Nova Scotia Power Incorporated to supply energy at a fixed rate for the next 25 years. Operations commenced on a preliminary basis in February 2010 and generated contribution margins of $1.0 million from inception to June 30, 2010.
Revenue from land sales in the first six months of 2010 was $75.0 million generating contribution margins of $22.6 million or 30.1%. This compares with revenue of $19.6 million generating contribution margins of $7.1 million or 36.3% in 2009. The $15.5 million increase in contribution margins resulted primarily from a higher number of lot and parcel sales in all markets except Calgary. Contribution margins were adversely affected by a $1.8 million provision against an amount receivable from a builder who filed for creditor protection in June 2010. The associated four-acre land parcel is expected to be reclaimed and remarketed.
During the first six months of 2010, Dundee Realty sold 616 lots (first six months of 2009 - 167 lots) at an average selling price of $122,000 per lot (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $86,000 per lot) and 40 parcel acres (six months ended June 30, 2009 – eight parcel acres) at an average price of $456,000 per acre (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $562,000 per acre).
Dundee Realty continues to benefit from increased activity in all markets except Calgary where limited lots are available for sale. However, Dundee Realty is in the process of bringing online two recently acquired projects in that area that are expected to generate revenue in the near future and into 2011.
Housing and Condominiums
Revenue from sales of housing and condominium units increased in the first six months of 2010 to $61.2 million, from $48.3 million in the same period of 2009, generating contribution margins of $7.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Results during the first half of the prior year include the consolidation of the interest of Dundee Realty’s 50% partner in the Distillery Historic District, as it was considered a variable interest entity until June 2009. After adjusting for the change in accounting, the increase in revenues is approximately $17.9 million and is attributable to higher sales of homes and condominium units.
During the first six months of 2010, Dundee Realty sold 105 housing units in western Canada at an average selling price of $376,000 per unit, translating into a $5.6 million contribution margin. This compares with $6.4 million in contribution margins in the first six months of 2009, when 105 housing units were sold at an average selling price of $382,000 per unit. The decrease in average selling prices resulted in a corresponding decrease of $2.9 million in revenues and a $0.8 million decrease in contribution margins. At June 30, 2010, there were 123 housing units under construction, of which 80 were pre-sold.
In the first six months of 2010, Dundee Realty completed a further 151 home closings through its joint venture operations in Toronto, where sales revenue of $13.6 million resulted in a contribution margin of $3.0 million. In addition, Dundee Realty completed 78 condominium occupancies in Toronto, generating sales revenue of $10.9 million and a contribution margin of $1.1 million.
The additional sale of 13 units at the Base Camp One project in Colorado generated $4.0 million in revenue during the first six months of 2010, compared to the sale of five units generating $3.1 million in revenue during the same period of 2009. The average selling price of these units decreased from $617,000 per unit during the first six months of the prior year to $308,000 per unit in the current period, reflecting discounts required under a new marketing plan. There are three additional units under contract as at the end of the period. New pricing programs are in place for the remaining 38 units.

This new ski lift will replace the ageing Exhibition chair as the main access point from the base.
Real Estate Debt
Real estate debt as at June 30, 2010 was $168.5 million (December 31, 2009 - $180.8 million) including $40.4 million relating to a revolving term credit facility, with the balance divided among mortgages on revenue properties, land servicing loans, vendor take back financing of land purchases and housing construction loans. Debt is generally secured by charges on specific properties to which the debt relates. As at June 30, 2010, $80.4 million (December 31, 2009 - $50.1 million) of aggregate debt in our real estate segment was subject to a fixed, weighted average interest rate of 6.21% (December 31, 2009 – 7.55%) and matures between 2010 and 2030. A further $88.1 million (December 31, 2009 - $130.7 million) of real estate debt is subject to a weighted average variable interest rate of 4.55% (December 31, 2009 – 4.80%) and matures between 2010 and 2018.
The revolving term credit facility includes amounts available up to a formula-based maximum not to exceed $150 million. The facility bears interest at prime plus 3% or at the corporate bankers’ acceptance rate plus 4.25%. The facility is secured by a general security agreement and first charges against lots and parcels, as well as certain land held for development in Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary and Edmonton. At June 30, 2010, Dundee Realty had drawn $64.9 million against its revolving term credit facility, including $24.5 million in the form of letters of credit. The facility was renewed on October 16, 2009 and expires on November 30, 2011.
Dundee REIT
Dundee REIT is an unincorporated, real estate investment trust and is a leading provider of high quality, affordable business premises. It is focused on owning, acquiring, leasing and managing mid-sized urban and suburban office and industrial properties in Canada. At June 30, 2010, Dundee REIT’s portfolio consisted of approximately 9.3 million square feet of gross leasable area across Canada.
Since September 2009, Dundee REIT successfully raised approximately $404.4 million in equity financings, including $115.1 million completed during the second quarter of this year. These arrangements facilitated the acquisition of eight properties, enhancing Dundee REIT’s real estate portfolio by over two million square feet of office and industrial space in Toronto, Edmonton, Regina and Ottawa. The benefit of these acquisitions is reflected in improved revenues and net earnings during the first six months of 2010, which increased by 33% and 31%, respectively, compared with the same period of 2009. Occupancy rates at June 30, 2010 were 97%.
The Company’s share of earnings from its investment in Dundee REIT for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.7 million. We also recognized a dilution gain of $3.8 million following the equity issuances completed by Dundee REIT as we did not participate in these offerings. This compares with net equity losses of $1.8 million in the same period of 2009.
Dundee Corporation received distributions from Dundee REIT of $4.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $4.7 million), of which $1.0 million was reinvested in Dundee REIT as part of its dividend reinvestment program (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $nil).
At June 30, 2010, Dundee Corporation held, directly and indirectly, an 11% interest in Dundee REIT. We continue to equity account our investment as we are able to exert significant influence over the operations and financial results of Dundee REIT through our representation on the board of trustees, and through service arrangements and senior management representation. At June 30, 2010, the market value of our investment in Dundee REIT was $108.0 million.
RESOURCE SEGMENT
Earnings in the resource segment during the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $20.2 million compared to earnings of $0.7 million in the same period of 2009. Earnings from resource-based equity accounted investments were $22.0 million during the first six months of 2010 compared with equity earnings of $1.5 million in the same period of 2009.
Eurogas Corporation
Ontario Oil and Gas Projects
On June 29, 2010, Dundee Energy Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), a wholly-owned limited partnership of Eurogas, acquired a 95% working interest in onshore oil properties and a 65% working interest in offshore gas properties, all located in and around Lake Erie, Ontario (the “Acquisition”). As part of the Acquisition and through the ownership of the Partnership, Eurogas also acquired a 65% interest in certain other tangible assets, including drilling and completion vessels, gas plants and compressor stations and a 100% interest in oil storage tanks. The Acquisition also provides for ownership of certain seismic data. Eurogas paid $133.0 million to acquire the assets, subject to receipt of fi nal closing adjustments estimated to be between $2.0 million and $4.0 million.
The initial acquisition price as announced in April 2010 was $131.0 million. Expenses of the Acquisition were $5.5 million, including interest costs of $1.3 million, post closing costs including capital expenditures of $1.4 million and legal and advisory costs of $2.8 million. These amounts were added to the aggregate purchase price.
During the period from March 1, 2010, the effective date of the Acquisition, through to May 31, 2010, Eurogas earned $3.5 million, net of taxes, from the ongoing operation of these assets. These net operating amounts were applied to reduce the purchase price to $133.0 million. Eurogas has yet to receive the operating income to its account from May 31, 2010 through to the closing date of June 29, 2010. Part of the purchase price was funded using Eurogas’ cash and short term investments. The balance of the funding was provided by a revolving credit facility from a banking syndicate (see “Eurogas Corporation – Demand Revolving Credit Facility”).
Eurogas has allocated $113.4 million of the aggregate purchase price to oil and natural gas rights, net of an estimated asset retirement obligation of $7.3 million. The balance of the purchase price was allocated to other tangible property and taxes thereon.

| | $ | 133,048 | |
The assets, all located in and around Lake Erie, Ontario, include a 95% working interest in 65,000 acres of onshore oil properties as well as a 65% working interest in 902,000 acres of offshore gas properties. Current net production volumes from these assets include 706 barrels per day (“bpd”) of 42◦ API oil and condensate as well as 11.6 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas. Combined, this represents net production volumes of 2,639 barrels of oil equivalent per day1 (boed), expected to generate approximately $25.0 million of cash flows per annum.
Management, together with independent qualified reserves evaluators and engineers estimate proved reserves of 66 billion cubic feet of gas with a reserve life index2 of 16.3 years as well as 2 million barrels of oil with a reserve life index of 6.9 years.
As part of the Acquisition, Eurogas acquired a 65% ownership interest in certain other assets including an offshore fleet of drilling and completion vessels, three gas plants and three compressor stations, all located onshore, and a 100% interest in four oil batteries. The Acquisition includes ownership or licensing of 14,680 km of 2-D seismic and 431 km2 of 3-D seismic.
The Acquisition also provides Eurogas with potential growth opportunities, including a significant number of development drilling locations, as well as opportunities for well re-completions and the optimization of the existing infrastructure system. Importantly, Eurogas’ quest to acquire these assets includes the potential for the development of gas storage reservoirs as the gas reserves are gradually depleted over the next 16 years.
Demand Revolving Credit Facility
In connection with the Acquisition, on June 29, 2010, Eurogas arranged for an $80.0 million credit facility for the benefit of the limited partnership established for the purpose of holding the Ontario oil and natural gas assets. The credit facility was placed with a banking syndicate of Canadian chartered banks. The credit facility is structured as a demand revolving loan, and is subject to a tiered interest rate structure that varies based on the net debt to cash flow ratio generated by the Ontario oil and natural gas assets. The ratio is initially set at prime plus 3% for loans and letters of credit or, for bankers’ acceptances, at the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 4%.
At June 30, 2010, an aggregate of $63.9 million had been drawn against the facility, including $3.3 million in the form of a letter of credit. The credit facility is secured against all of the oil and natural gas assets acquired pursuant to the Acquisition.
Spanish Underground Gas Storage Project
Eurogas holds a 73.7% interest in Castor UGS Limited Partnership (“CLP”), which in turn holds a 33% interest in the Spanish Castor Exploration Permit through its investment in Escal, giving Eurogas an effective interest of 24.6% in the Castor UGS Project (“Castor UGS Project”). The Castor Exploration Permit covers the depleted Amposta Oilfield, which is being utilized by Escal for its underground gas storage project.
CLP has entered into agreements with ACS Servicios Comunicacions y Energia S.L. (“ACS”) and Enagas S.A. pursuant to which ACS acquired a 66.7% interest in Escal. In turn, Enagas S.A., the technical manager of the gas system and common carrier for the high pressure gas network in Spain, will acquire 50% of ACS’s interest in Escal at commissioning and start-up of the Castor UGS Project, subject to certain terms and conditions. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, ACS is responsible for providing equity and arranging project financing for the Castor UGS Project, including providing all guarantees that may be required through to the inclusion of the underground storage facility into the Spanish gas system. After the system is operational, Eurogas will be responsible for its proportionate share of any new capital investments which Eurogas anticipates will be covered by operating revenues.

| 2 Reserve life index was determined by dividing proved reserves at the expected acquisition date by expected annual production. For greater certainty, the reserve life index included only proved reserves and does not include probable or possible reserves. |
In 2009, Escal and its shareholders engaged a group of banks to lead a process to obtain project financing for the construction and commissioning of the Castor offshore and onshore facilities including pipelines, interest and guarantees during construction. On July 22, 2010, Eurogas announced that Escal had completed a 10-year, €1.3 billion project financing with a syndicate of 19 international banks. To provide security for the financing, CLP and the other shareholder of Escal have pledged their respective shares in Escal to the banking syndicate.
Construction of the project is advancing. Following completion of the process platform, which is expected in the third quarter of 2010, Escal will initiate a 12 well drilling program. Commencement of pipeline construction is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year. The targeted completion date for the Castor UGS Project is mid-2012.
Eurogas International Inc.
EII is currently conducting exploration programs for oil and natural gas offshore Tunisia in the Gulf of Gabes, where it holds an interest in the 1.0 million acre Sfax permit (“Sfax Permit”). EII is the non-operating partner in the permit. All costs associated with the Sfax Permit are capitalized as part of the exploration and evaluation phase of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, an aggregate of $2.0 million (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $2.1 million) was capitalized to the Tunisian asset pool.
EII, on behalf of the joint venture, is overseeing the reprocessing of four 3-D seismic surveys on the Sfax Permit. The 340 km2 Sfax program over the Ras-El-Besh and Jawhara oil prospects was completed and mapping has commenced. The 60 km2 and 460 km2 programs for Salloum and the Kerkennah Banks, respectively, and a portion of the older Ashtart 3-D survey are currently being reprocessed. Selected 2-D seismic lines will also be reprocessed to support the mapping of prospects and leads on the permit. Once completed, EII, together with its joint venture partner, will use the reprocessed data to remap the prospects and leads in order to determine a future course of action with respect to the drilling of an exploration well to satisfy an outstanding drilling obligation pursuant to the terms of the permit itself. Funding for the drilling of this well has not as yet been arranged by EII or the joint venture.
Seawolf Litigation
Atlas Petroleum Exploration Worldwide Ltd. (“APEX”), as operator under the Sfax joint venture, commenced arbitration proceedings against Seawolf Oilfield (Cyprus) Limited and Seawolf Oilfield Services Limited (collectively, “Seawolf”) under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration. APEX, on behalf of the joint venture, filed a statement of case seeking damages for misrepresentations and breach of a drilling contract in respect of the REB-3 well within the Ras-El-Besh concession, as well as payment of indemnities under the contract. Seawolf responded by filing a counterclaim. In April 2010, the parties reached an agreement in principle for a proposed settlement of the arbitration proceedings. The settlement provides for the payment, by Seawolf to the j oint venture, of US$12 million to be received over 18 months and which is to be secured by a bank guarantee from a recognized international bank. EII’s interest in the settlement proceeds is subject to final determination under its joint venture agreement with APEX and the joint venture’s farmout and settlement agreements with Delta, but will be no less than US$2.7 million or 22.5% of the settlement amount, and may reach a maximum of US$5.4 million or 45%. Settlement proceeds, when received, will be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of EII’s interest in oil and natural gas properties.
Nichromet Extraction Inc. (“Nichromet”)
Nichromet is an exploration and development stage company with exploration and reconnaissance licenses on mining properties located in Guatemala. ��In addition, Nichromet has developed metallurgical processes based on a chlorine leach technology. Nichromet has constructed a pilot plant and applied the technology to the asbestos tailings in the Thetford Mine area in Quebec and mineralized material from other worldwide provenance. Dundee Corporation holds 41.8 million common shares, representing a 51.1% interest. As such, effective June 30, 2010, the Company is consolidating the accounts of Nichromet in its consolidated financial statements. As Nichromet is a development stage company, it has no significant revenues.
Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Company acquired a further 8.4 million common shares of Nichromet, effectively increasing our holdings to 55.7%.
Equity Accounted Resource Investments
Breakwater Resources Ltd.
During the first six months of 2010, Breakwater reported net earnings of $49.5 million on gross sales revenue of $197.5 million, compared with a net loss of $11.0 million on gross sales revenue of $105.0 million during the first six months of 2009. Gross sales revenue and the resulting net earnings increased period-over-period primarily due to significantly higher metal prices and higher concentrate sales volumes.
On April 1, 2010, Breakwater announced that it had closed a third party flow-through share private placement consisting of 11.1 million shares at a price of $0.45 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million.
In June 2010, the shareholders of Breakwater approved the consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every 10 pre-consolidation shares. At June 30, 2010, we held 17.1 million shares of Breakwater, representing a 24% interest. The market value of our investment was approximately $41.7 million. In addition, we own 29 million warrants (BWR.WT.A) which, at June 30, 2010, had a market value of approximately $5.1 million.
Equity earnings from our investment in Breakwater for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $15.7 million (six months ended June 30, 2009 – loss of $0.5 million).
Dundee Precious Metals Inc.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, net revenue from sales of concentrates generated by Dundee Precious was US$81.4 million, an increase of 64% over net revenue of US$49.5 million generated in the corresponding prior year period. The growth is partially attributable to a 19% increase in deliveries of concentrates, as well as improved metals prices. Also contributing to the increase in net revenue is the inclusion of Namibia Custom Smelters (Pty) Ltd., a metals processing and smelting unit operating in Tsumeb, Namibia, which Dundee Precious acquired in late March 2010.
Gross profits from mining operations were US$16.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with gross profits of US$10.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in gross profits is consistent with the growth in net revenues, reflecting higher gold, copper, and zinc prices as well as increases in concentrate deliveries. These increases are partially offset by unfavourable mark-to-market adjustments and final settlements.
Dundee Precious reported a net loss of US$31.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with a net loss of US$2.1 million in the prior year period. The net loss in the first half of 2010 included an impairment provision of US$50.6 million taken against the planned construction of a metals processing facility (“MPF”) in Chelopech as the Bulgarian Supreme Administrative Court’s final decision to revoke the MPF Environmental Impact Assessment renders it unlikely that the MPF project will proceed. Dundee Corporation had previously provided against the carrying value of these assets as part of its recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment against its carrying value of Dundee Precious on December 31, 2008. Accordingly, Dundee Corporation’s earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2010 do not include its share of the provision realized by Dundee Precious. As a result, we realized equity earnings from our investment in Dundee Precious of $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2009 - $4.8 million).
In the first quarter of 2010, Dundee Precious completed a public offering of 20 million of its common shares at a price of $3.30 per share, for gross proceeds of $66 million. Dundee Corporation acquired 8,881,200 common shares in the public offering, increasing our interest in Dundee Precious from 20% to 23%.
At June 30, 2010, we held approximately 28.3 million shares and 3.9 million warrants of Dundee Precious with an aggregate market value of $136.0 million.
In April 2010, Dundee Precious entered into a definitive business combination agreement for the sale of its Timok and Potoj Cuka gold projects located in Serbia (the “Projects”), which, when completed, results in Dundee Precious owning an approximate 50.3% interest in Avala Resources Ltd., a company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Other Equity Accounted Resource Investments

Our share of earnings from these investments for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $0.1 million (six months ended June 30, 2009 – equity losses of $2.8 million). Together, these investments represent a market value of $8.4 million as at June 30, 2010.

In comparison, head office costs in the prior year were $11.1 million. Prior year comparative results were net of a $1.3 million adjustment to a previously estimated salary related cost, reducing net expenses in that period.
Corporate Interest Expense
Corporate interest expense was $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $9.3 million in the same period of 2009. Decreases in interest expense reflect lower average levels of bank borrowings during the current six month period.
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 29.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – 34.8%). The effective tax rate for 2010 was below the statutory combined federal and provincial tax rate of 31% primarily as a result of the realization of certain future tax assets at higher tax rates than originally anticipated, partially offset by non-deductible items, including stock based compensation and preference share dividends.

Revolving Term Credit Facility – Corporate
The Company has established a $200 million revolving term credit facility, which expires on November 9, 2010. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either the bank’s prime lending rate for loans plus 1.25% or, for bankers’ acceptances, at the bank’s then prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate plus 2.25%. The Company is subject to a standby fee of 0.7875%. As at June 30, 2010, $11.9 million was drawn against the facility.
The facility is subject to certain covenants, including maintenance of minimum levels of specific assets, restrictions on the existence of secured indebtedness, restrictions on the redemption, purchase or repayment of the exchangeable debentures and restrictions on the prepayment and payment of interest on the exchangeable debentures. In certain limited circumstances, we may be required to pledge certain of our investments as security against amounts borrowed pursuant to the amended facility.
The credit facility provided to the Company is subject to an annual renewal. There can be no assurance that the credit facility will be renewed on November 9, 2010 under the same terms and conditions as provided in the current credit facility.
5.85% Exchangeable Unsecured Subordinated Debentures
The Company’s exchangeable debentures mature on June 30, 2015. Each $1,000 exchangeable debenture can be exchanged, at the option of the holder, for 33.6134 units of Dundee REIT, subject to certain conditions. This represents an exchange price of $29.75 per Dundee REIT unit. At June 30, 2010, approximately $9.5 million remained outstanding pursuant to these exchangeable debentures. We have placed sufficient units into escrow established for this purpose to satisfy any potential obligation pursuant to the exchangeable debentures.
Debt of Subsidiaries
A more detailed discussion of corporate debt in each of our business segments is discussed under “Segmented Results of Operations ”.
Future Income Tax Liabilities
Our net future income tax liability at June 30, 2010 was $29.2 million, which represents future income tax assets of $154.4 million offset by future income tax liabilities of $183.6 million. This compares to a net future income tax liability of $40.2 million at December 31, 2009. Details of the components of the Company’s future income tax assets and future income tax liabilities are included in note 20 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Future income tax liabilities in respect of the wealth management segment for the first six months of 2010 include $87.6 million (December 31, 2009 - $87.8 million) relating to investment management contracts acquired in previous business combinations and $70.9 million (December 31, 2009 - $67.2 million) associated with deferred sales commissions.
Included in future income tax assets at June 30, 2010 is $120.3 million (December 31, 2009 – $113.5 million) representing the Company’s estimate of the benefit realizable from tax loss carry forwards. The benefit recognized in respect of these tax loss carry forwards at June 30, 2010 is based on aggregate income tax losses of $512.8 million (December 31, 2009 - $492.0 million).
Non-Controlling Interest

Normal Course Issuer Bid
On March 30, 2009, the Company obtained approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to purchase its Subordinate Shares in the market for cancellation pursuant to a renewed normal course issuer bid. On March 30, 2010, we received regulatory approval to continue our normal course issuer bid from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Subject to certain conditions, we may purchase up to a maximum of 5.4 million Subordinate Shares during the allotted time period, representing 10% of our public float. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we purchased 3,727,400 Subordinate Shares at a cost of $49.9 million for cancellation pursuant to the provisions of our normal course issuer bid.
As at June 30, 2010, we had granted 1,645,000 options with a weighted average exercise price of $8.51, of which 330,000 were exercisable, as holders had met the vesting criteria.

At June 30, 2010, there were 6.0 million Preference shares, series 1 and 5.2 million Preference shares, series 2 outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we paid dividends of $3.8 million and $4.4 million on the Preference shares, series 1, and Preference shares, series 2, respectively. The dividends associated with the Preference shares, series 1 have been included as interest expense in net earnings to correspond with the classification of these shares as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Significant Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents
As at June 30, 2010, cash and cash equivalents were $484.5 million compared with $480.2 million at December 31, 2009. We generated net cash inflows during the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $4.3 million. Significant cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2009 are as follows:
Significant Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided from operating activities | | $ | 168,014 | | | $ | 202,929 | |
| · | The effect of changes in client account balances and securities owned and sold short held by DundeeWealth and by Dundee Merchant Bank will vary significantly on a day-to-day basis as previously noted. These changes will cause movements in cash in our operating subsidiaries. Changes in cash resulting from these types of transactions may not necessarily reflect any meaningful change in our own financial position, or that of our subsidiaries. During the first half of 2010, variations in these balances resulted in net cash outflows of $19.5 million (six months ended June 30, 2009 – $131.1 million net cash inflows). |
| · | Changes in amounts owing on bank indebtedness reflects the use of DundeeWealth’s brokerage subsidiary’s call loan facilities. These balances may also vary significantly on a period-by-period basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth repaid $4.8 million against these facilities on a net basis. By comparison, in the same period of the prior year, changes in call loan balances generated cash inflows of $13.7 million. |
| · | Changes in working capital amounts, including changes in accounts receivable, net of accounts payable, generated cash inflows of $58.1 million in the first half of 2010, partially related to the receipt of performance fee revenues earned on December 31, 2009. In the first quarter of the prior year, these working capital items generated operating cash inflows of $7.6 million. |
| · | During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Dundee Realty generated cash of $30.7 million from activities related to the development of land, housing and condominium inventory. In the same period of the prior year, these real estate activities utilized cash of approximately $59.6 million. |

| · | Our subsidiaries paid dividends to non-controlling shareholders during the first six months of 2010 of $18.1 million (June 30, 2009 – $3.3 million). |
DundeeWealth’s main operating subsidiaries function in regulated environments and are therefore required to maintain levels of capital in liquid assets in accordance with regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2010, all of DundeeWealth’s regulated entities exceeded their minimum regulatory capital requirements with working capital of $387.4 million (December 31, 2009 – $353.0 million) in DundeeWealth’s investment management business and excess regulatory capital of $30.4 million (December 31, 2009 – $38.5 million) in brokerage operations. In the case of DundeeWealth’s brokerage operations, the amount of capital that exists within the regulated entities dictates the level of business operations within the securities firm, including margin lending, securities trading and corporate f inance commitments. Furthermore, DundeeWealth’s ability to transfer cash resources out of these regulated subsidiaries may be limited by their requirement to comply with these formulas.
Cash Requirements
Our capital management and funding objectives include ensuring that the Company is compliant with all of its ongoing obligations, including ensuring that all of its regulated entities meet relevant regulatory capital requirements and ensuring that we are able to meet our financial obligations as they become due, whilst ensuring compliance with all applicable debt covenants. In determining our capital allocation, we consider the use of capital to effectively manage the land and housing business in the real estate segment and to adequately provide for exploration, evaluation and development activities in the resource segment. Our capital management objectives also include ensuring that the Company has sufficient capital available to benefit from acquisitions and other opportunities, should they arise, and ensuring a dequate returns for shareholders. The Company regularly assesses its capital management practices in response to changing economic conditions.
On an ongoing and consolidated basis, the Company will require cash to support regulatory capital in its regulated subsidiaries, to finance the sales commissions associated with new products, to develop our real estate inventory and our resource related properties, to purchase corporate investments, to meet the obligations under our other contractual commitments and to finance interest and dividend payments on our preference shares and debt obligations. The Company may also require cash to finance new business initiatives. The potential success of these business initiatives may necessitate increased capital beyond anticipated levels.
The Company continues to maintain a $200 million revolving term credit facility. At June 30, 2010, we had drawn $11.9 million against the facility.
A recurring capital requirement within DundeeWealth is the financing required for mutual fund sales commissions, which DundeeWealth continues to fund internally, thereby permitting it to retain all of the management fees and redemption fees associated with the new assets and to benefit from the tax deduction associated with the commission expense.
As discussed above, DundeeWealth’s brokerage operations must comply with a regulatory capital formula. The brokerage subsidiary requires additional capital if operating levels increase, and also if it incurs significant losses or increases its exposures as determined by a capital formula. For example, in periods of significant decline in equity values, additional levels of capital may be required to support client lending in margin accounts.
With the completion of DundeeWealth’s issuance of Notes in 2009 for cash proceeds of $197.9 million, as well as strong operating cash flows, DundeeWealth believes that it has sufficient resources to fully support any operational requirements and initiatives and to act on any opportunities which may become available.
Our real estate segment requires working capital to finance the development of planned land and housing and condominium projects. The revolving term credit facility of $150 million in our real estate segment provides us with increased flexibility to operate this business efficiently.
Eurogas recently completed an acquisition of certain oil and natural gas assets in Ontario. Estimated annual cash flows from these assets, before associated income taxes, is approximately $25.0 million. Eurogas plans to fund its capital program with cash provided by operating activities, or through draws against its recently established demand credit facility.
On a consolidated basis, we believe that our operating cash flows, combined with our available lines of credit, provide sufficient cash resources for the Company to conduct its operations for the foreseeable future.

QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009
Net earnings in the second quarter of 2010 were $51.2 million, an increase of $21.3 million over net earnings of $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.
SEGMENTED EARNINGS INFORMATION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2010
Wealth Management Segment
In the second quarter of 2010, DundeeWealth earned operating EBITDA of $74.5 million compared with operating EBITDA of $40.7 million earned in the second quarter of the prior year. Notwithstanding increased global market unrest in May and June of this year, the increase in operating EBITDA is reflective of improved average AUM levels experienced during the latter half of 2009 and the first half of 2010. Operating EBITDA was also enhanced by investment income of $14.7 million generated by the sale of certain of DundeeWealth’s CLO investments.
Operating earnings generated by DundeeWealth during the second quarter of 2010 were $41.5 million, a decrease of $20.7 million from operating earnings of $62.2 million earned in the second quarter of the prior year. Prior period results benefitted from a net $45.5 million fair value gain related to DundeeWealth’s portfolio of investments, including its investments in FRNs.
Average AUM levels increased to $36.4 billion in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $26.9 billion in the second quarter of the prior year, reflecting both strong asset gathering activities and significant market appreciation in underlying assets. This resulted in increased management fee revenues, which grew to $140.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $100.9 million earned in the same period of 2009. Associated trailer service fee expense increased to $42.2 million in the second quarter of this year compared with $30.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, consistent with the increase in value of trailer fee paying AUM.
Revenue from financial services activities was $69.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $80.6 million earned in the second quarter of the prior year. Correspondingly, variable compensation costs decreased from $45.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year to $42.2 million in the second quarter of the current year. Approximately 58% (second quarter of 2009 – 60%) of gross margin in the second quarter was generated by capital markets activities with the balance being attributed to retail distribution.
SG&A expenses, including distribution fees, of $72.2 million incurred by DundeeWealth during the second quarter of 2010 remained relatively unchanged from costs of $71.4 million incurred in the second quarter of the prior year.
Real Estate Segment
Land and Housing Operations
Land and housing operations in our real estate segment generated contribution margins of $18.4 million or 19.7% on revenues of $93.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. This compares with margins of $14.9 million or 27.5% on revenues of $54.1 million in the same quarter of 2009.

* Excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization
Contribution margins from revenue properties increased marginally to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with $2.7 million earned in the second quarter of the prior year. RMS Dalhousie Mountain became fully operational during the second quarter of this year, generating contribution margins of $0.8 million. However, the impact of poor snow conditions, compounded by a weaker U.S. dollar, resulted in a decrease in contribution margins from ski operations in Colorado relative to the same period of the prior year.
Revenue from land sales in the second quarter of 2010 was $38.5 million generating contribution margins of $9.2 million or 23.8%. This compares with revenues of $15.6 million generating contribution margins of $6.8 million or 43.2% in 2009. Substantially higher lot and parcel sales increased net contribution margins by $2.4 million. In the second quarter of 2010, Dundee Realty sold 314 lots at an average selling price of $128,000 per lot and 31 parcel acres at an average price of $416,000 per parcel. This compares with 112 lots at an average selling price of $93,000 per lot and eight parcel acres at an average price of $591,000 per parcel acre in the same quarter of 2009.
Revenue from sales of housing and condominium units increased in the second quarter to $43.1 million from $26.7 million in the same quarter of 2009. During the quarter, Dundee Realty sold 61 units in western Canada at an average selling price of $302,000 per unit translating into a $3.5 million contribution margin. This compares to a $3.4 million contribution margin in 2009 following the sale of 50 units at an average selling price of $361,000 per unit.
Dundee Realty completed 120 home closings at an average selling price of $462,000 through a joint venture operation in Toronto, generating revenues of $10.7 million and contribution margins of $1.9 million. Dundee Realty also completed 78 condominium occupancies at an average selling price of $280,000 in its joint venture operations in Toronto. These condominium occupancies generated revenue of $10.9 million and contribution margins of $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2010.
During the second quarter, an additional ten units were sold at the Base Camp condominium project in Colorado generating $2.8 million in revenue. This compares with four closings in the second quarter of 2009, generating $2.5 million in revenue. Due to difficult market conditions in the U.S., the average selling price decreased from $625,000 in the second quarter of 2009 to $280,000 per unit in the second quarter of the current year.
Dundee REIT
Our equity earnings in respect of Dundee REIT were $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with equity losses of $1.2 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Prior year results reflect our share of a $9.0 million provision against the carrying value of a commercial retail mall in Atlanta.
Resource Segment
Our resource segment generated an operating EBITDA loss of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, relatively unchanged from an operating EBITDA loss of $1.0 million in the same period of 2009.
Our share of earnings from our resource-based equity accounted investments was $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with earnings of $2.9 million in the same period of 2009.
Breakwater
Breakwater generated net earnings of $24.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss of $4.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Operating margins increased both as a result of a 46% increase in concentrate sales and significantly higher metal prices.
Our share of earnings from our investment in Breakwater was $8.1 million in the second quarter of this year compared with our share of losses of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Dundee Precious
In the second quarter of 2010, Dundee Precious generated net earnings of US$16.4 million compared to net earnings of US$2.8 million in the corresponding prior year period. The increase in earnings reflects higher gross profits from mining operations.
The increase in gross profits from mining operations reflects higher deliveries of concentrate and lower production costs. These positive factors were offset by unfavourable mark-to-market adjustments and final settlements in the second quarter of 2010 relative to the corresponding period of 2009.
Our share of earnings from our investment in Dundee Precious was $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with our share of losses aggregating $3.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

· | Real estate operations are project driven. Real estate revenue and associated real estate operating costs are only included in operations in periods where a development project is completed and sold. Otherwise, these costs are deferred in real estate inventory. This may also cause significant fluctuations in net operating earnings from period-to-period. |
· | Investment income includes income earned from dispositions of our investment holdings. Investment gains or losses are only recorded when we dispose of an investment and we therefore experience significant quarterly fluctuations in these amounts, depending on when we actually effect a disposition. |
· | Our share of earnings of equity accounted investees is included in net earnings for each quarter. Earnings from each of our equity accounted investees and dilution gains and losses in investee companies may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period and may depend on market forces or other operating conditions that are not necessarily under our control. As a result of the global economic crisis in the latter part of 2008, our resource segment experienced significant decreases in commodity prices and rising operating costs, which had an adverse effect on our share of earnings in the third and fourth quarters of 2008. |
COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Other than as disclosed in the notes to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010, there have been no substantive changes in the description and nature of commitments, contingencies and off-balance sheet arrangements from those described in note 26 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the associated MD&A as at and for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Subsidiaries of the Company are defendants in various legal actions. These subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend themselves against these claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters and the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, based on information currently available, that these are not material liabilities, that adequate provisions have been made for any liabilities and that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There have been no significant changes in the nature and scope of related party transactions to those described in note 28 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and on page 46 of the accompanying MD&A.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Certain accounting policies are critical to understanding our results of operations and financial conditions. Some of these policies require that we make certain judgements and estimates on matters that are uncertain. These estimates affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses. Changes to these estimates may result in material changes to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as those disclosed in notes 1 and 2 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. A summary of the more significant judgements and estimates made by management is provided on pages 47 to 51 to the Company’ s MD&A as at and for the year ended December 31, 2009.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In February 2008, the CICA Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises will be converged with IFRS effective in calendar year 2011. The implementation of IFRS will apply to the Company's interim and annual financial statements beginning on January 1, 2011, including the restatement of comparative amounts for 2010.
The Company has established an IFRS implementation committee (“the Committee”) with a mandate to oversee the conversion process. The primary focus of the Committee throughout 2009 was the identification and analysis of key differences between IFRS and the Company’s current accounting policies, which included a preliminary assessment of the various accounting alternatives offered by IFRS and consideration of related changes to business processes and internal controls. Pages 52 through 55 of our MD&A accompanying our 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements provide a comprehensive discussion of the key elements of our transition plan and key milestones for implementation. There have been no significant changes to the structure of timing of the Company’s IFRS conversion program outlined therein.
The Company regularly monitors the development in standards from the International Accounting Standards Board, the AcSB, as well as regulatory requirements from the Canadian Securities Administrators. The following is a progress update on the Company’s IFRS conversion program for the second quarter of 2010.
Analysis of IFRS Accounting Policies Affecting the Company
| · | IFRS 1: First-time Adoption of IFRS |
IFRS 1 provides the framework for the first time adoption of IFRS and specifies that, in general, an entity shall apply the principles under IFRS retrospectively. IFRS 1 also specifies that the adjustments that arise on retrospective conversion to IFRS from Canadian GAAP should be directly recognized in retained earnings. Certain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to retrospective application are provided for under IFRS 1. While the Company continues to analyze the various accounting policy choices available under IFRS 1, certain tentative conclusions have been reached. The optional exemptions expected to be applied are as follows:
| · | Business combinations – IFRS 1 allows for the guidance under IFRS 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. The Company intends to adopt IFRS 3 prospectively, meaning that only business combinations that occur on or after January 1, 2010 would be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. |
| · | Oil and gas properties – IFRS 1 allows a first-time adopter using full cost method of accounting under its previous GAAP to elect to measure oil and gas assets at the date of transition to IFRS on the following basis: (a) exploration and evaluation assets at the amount determined under previous GAAP and (b) assets in the development or production phases at the amount determined under previous GAAP, allocated to the underlying assets pro rata using reserve volumes or reserve values as of that date. The Company expects to elect this exemption. A more complete assessment of the impact of IFRS on the Company’s oil and gas assets is expected to be completed by September 30, 2010. |
| · | Cumulative translation differences – IFRS 1 permits cumulative translation gains and losses to be reset to zero at the transition date. This will result in the exclusion of translation differences that arose prior to the transition date from gains or losses on a subsequent disposal of a foreign operation. The Company expects to elect this exemption. |
| · | Share-based payments – IFRS 1, a first-time adopter is not required to apply IFRS 2: Share-based payments to equity instruments granted on or before November 7, 2002 or granted after November 7, 2002 but vested at the date of transition. The Company intends to elect this exemption and only apply IFRS 2 to those equity instruments that were not vested as at January 1, 2010. |
| · | IFRS 2: Share-based Payments |
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at grant-date fair value under both IFRS and Canadian GAAP. However, there are differences related to the timing of expense recognition under the respective standards that impact the Company’s share-based payment programs. The Company has identified the specific differences in accounting for share-based payments under IFRS and is currently amending its share-based payment models in order to quantify the impact upon transition. The Company has substantially completed this quantification exercise and does not expect the changes to have a significant impact on its financial statements upon transition to IFRS.
| · | IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements |
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company determines whether it should consolidate an entity using two different frameworks: the variable interest entity (“VIE”) and voting control models. Under IFRS, the Company will consolidate an entity based solely on control, which is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefit. Control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than one half of an entity’s voting power, but also exists when the parent owns half or less of the voting power but has legal or contractual rights to control, or de facto control. The Company has substantially completed its assessment of the impact of adopting the IFRS consolidation model and does not expect the changes to have a significant impac t on its financial statements upon transition to IFRS.
| · | IAS 36: Impairment of Assets |
The Company has revised its impairment testing models to comply with the requirements of IAS 36, and does not expect adoption of these new models to cause any significant change in financial reporting.
| · | IAS 39: Financial Instruments |
An additional matter identified during the quarter relates to the recognition of gains or losses arising from the translation of foreign currency denominated AFS debt securities. The Company’s portfolio of CLOs has historically generated such foreign currency gains and losses and, under Canadian GAAP, the amounts have been recorded in OCI. Under IFRS, these gains and losses will be recorded in earnings. Upon transition to IFRS, the cumulative amounts recorded in OCI will be transferred to retained earnings and future gains and losses will be recorded in earnings.
| · | IAS 40: Investment Property |
Revenue properties held by Dundee Realty are generally considered investment properties as defined by IAS 40. Investment property includes property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for administrative purposes, or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Similar to Canadian GAAP, investment property is initially measured at cost under IAS 40. However, subsequent to initial recognition, IAS 40 requires that an entity choose either the cost or fair value model to account for its investment property. The Company has tentatively concluded that it will account for its investment property under the fair value model, and is in the process of gathering the transition date information required to support this model .
Skeleton Financial Statements
The Company has continued to focus on its skeleton IFRS-based financial statement disclosures for each of its significant business segments and for the Company itself, in order to identify additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures required under IFRS.
Control Environment
The Company has evaluated its financial information systems and processes and the financial reporting impact of the implementation of the standards identified above. Based on existing IFRS, management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and underlying financial information systems and processes are appropriately designed and properly functioning for an IFRS reporting environment.
A subsidiary of the Company recently acquired certain producing oil and natural gas assets. The acquisition of these assets will result in a significant change in the Company’s resource segment and is expected to add a significant number of disclosure controls and procedures and underlying changes to the financial information systems. The Company will incorporate an assessment of the impact of IFRS to these systems and controls to its overall IFRS implementation plan.
Next Steps
In addition to the areas of focus outlined above, the Committee is prioritizing certain IFRS conversion related activities that should be completed within a reasonable time period following January 1, 2010, the Company’s IFRS transition date.
The Committee will continue to monitor results from the existing conversion plan, as well as ongoing changes to IFRS, and adjust our transition and implementation plans accordingly. The Company’s transition remains aligned to our implementation schedule and it is on track to meet the timelines essential to the changeover.
In accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-109, the Company has filed certificates signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certifying that, among other things, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and the design of internal control over financial reporting are adequate. The financial disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that material financial information has been duly disclosed by the Company. Furthermore, internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and its compliance with Canadian GAAP in its consolidated financial statements.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have also evaluated whether there were changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. No changes were identified during their evaluation.
It should be noted that while the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objective of the control system is met.
The Company is exposed to a number of risks that have the potential to affect its operating and financial performance. These risks have been detailed in the section entitled “Managing Risk” in the Company’s MD&A as at and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form. At June 30, 2010 the Company has not identified any material changes to the risk factors affecting our business and our approach to managing those risks, except as set out below.
The Company has initiated an assessment of the risks associated with the Ontario oil and gas project (see “Resource Segment – Eurogas Corporation”). The Company is exposed to the following additional risks as a result of the Acquisition which are in addition to the risks identified in the December 31, 2009 MD&A.
Volatility of Oil and Natural Gas Prices
The Company's financial performance is highly sensitive to prevailing prices of oil and natural gas. Fluctuations in oil or natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, the value of its reserves and its level of spending for oil and gas exploration and development. Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate in response to changes in the supply of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are largely beyond the Company’s control. The volatility of oil and natural gas prices could have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s financial performance.
Uncertainty of Reserve Estimates
The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex and involves a significant number of assumptions in evaluating available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data; therefore, reserves estimates are inherently uncertain. The Company relied on external evaluation of reserves in its evaluation of the Acquisition along with internally generated analysis. These estimates of proved reserves based on production history, results of exploration and development drilling, prevailing oil and gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, may be adjusted. In addition, there are numerous uncertainties in forecasting the amounts and timing of future production, costs, expenses and the results of exploration and development projects. All estimates are, to some degree, uncertain and classifications of reserves are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty involved. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves, the classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and the measure of discounted future net cash flows, may vary
substantially. The Company’s actual production, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will likely vary from such estimates and such variances could be material.
Health and Safety
The Company’s oil and gas production operations are subject to many risks, including the possibility of fire, explosions, mechanical failure, pipe failure, chemical spills, accidental flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, sour gas releases, contamination of oil and gas, storms or other adverse weather conditions and other occurrences or incidents, which could result in personal injury or loss of life, damage or destruction of properties, environmental damages, cost of remedying such conditions or incidents, regulatory investigations and penalties and liability to third parties. The Company has a health, safety, security, environmental and operational integrity process to mitigate these risks. The Company also mitigates insurable risks to protect against significant losses by maintaining a comprehensive i nsurance program, while maintaining levels and amounts of risk within the Company that management believes to be acceptable. The Company believes its liability and property insurance is appropriate to its business and consistent with common industry practice, although such insurance will not provide coverage in all circumstances.
Labour Costs and Labour Relations
Labour costs constitute a significant portion of the operating costs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain such costs at levels which do not negatively affect its business, results from operations and financial condition. To the extent that labour costs are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, there can be no assurance that future agreements with the employees' unions or the outcome of arbitrations will be on terms consistent with expectations or comparable to agreements entered into by competitors. Any future agreements or outcome of negotiations, mediations or arbitrations including in relation to wages or other labour costs or work rules may result in increased labour costs or other charges, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s busi ness results from operations and financial condition. A portion of the Company’s employees are unionized and their long-term collective bargaining agreement expired on June 30, 2010. There can be no assurance that there will not be a labour conflict that could lead to an interruption or stoppage in operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company’s public communications may include written or oral forward looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this MD&A, and may be included in other filings with the Canadian and United States securities regulators, stock exchanges or in other communications. All such statements constitute forward looking information within the meaning of securities law and are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario) and under equivalent applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. Forward looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about anticipated future events or results including comments with respect to our objectives and priorities for 2010 and beyond, strategies or further actions with resp ect to the Company, its products and services, business operations, financial performance and condition. Forward looking statements are statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates” or similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Such statements are based on the current expectations of management of the Company and inherently involve numerous risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, including economic factors and those affecting the financial services, real estate and resource industries generally. The forward looking information contained in this MD&A is presented for the purpose of assisting our shareholders in understanding our business operations and strategic priorities and objectives as at the periods indicated and may not be a ppropriate for other purposes.
The risks, uncertainties and other factors that may influence actual results are referenced in the section entitled “Managing Risk” in the Company’s annual MD&A accompanying its 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, as amended herein. Actual results may differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this MD&A, depending upon, among other factors, general economic and market conditions; our ability to execute our strategic plans and meet financial obligations; the performance of the Company’s principal subsidiaries; the Company’s ability to raise additional capital; our ability to create, attract and retain AUM and AUA; risks relating to trading activities and investments; potential liability of the Company and its subsidiaries under securities laws and for v iolations of investor suitability requirements; competition faced by the Company; regulation of the Company’s businesses; risks associated with the Company’s real estate and resource businesses and the Company’s investment holdings in general, including risks associated with oil and gas and mining exploration, development
and processing activities, environmental risks, inflation, changes in interest rates, commodity prices and other financial exposures; the availability and adequacy of insurance coverage for the Company and its subsidiaries; maintenance of minimum regulatory capital requirements for certain of the Company’s subsidiaries; and the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to attract and retain key personnel. The preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors that may influence actual results, and are identified based upon information available as of August 10, 2010.
Assumptions about the future performance of the Canadian, European and United States economies were material factors considered by management when setting the Company’s strategic priorities and objectives, and when determining our financial targets. In determining our expectations for economic growth in the financial services, real estate and resource sectors, we considered historical economic data provided by the Canadian government and its agencies and current market conditions, including the status of the current economic and credit crisis, which factors are unpredictable and may impact the Company’s performance.
Forward looking statements contained in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and, while forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions that the Company considers reasonable, actual events and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward looking statements made by the Company. Prospective investors are cautioned to consider these and other factors carefully when making decisions with respect to the Company and not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. As evidenced by market events in 2008 and early 2009, circumstances affecting the Company may change rapidly. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any such forward looking statements, whether as a resu lt of new information, future events or otherwise.

1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
These interim consolidated financial statements of Dundee Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting principles and methods of application as those disclosed in Notes 1 and 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”). The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are made based on information available as at the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassification of 2009 Amounts
The consolidated financial statements for the comparative period ended June 30, 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for 2010.
| BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS |
AND REORGANIZATIONS
Transactions Completed During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Acquisition of Oil and Natural Gas Properties in Ontario by Eurogas Corporation (“Eurogas”)
On June 29, 2010, Dundee Energy Limited Partnership (“DELP”), Eurogas’ wholly-owned limited partnership, acquired a 95% working interest in onshore oil properties and a 65% working interest in offshore gas properties, all located in and around Lake Erie, Ontario. As part of the acquisition, DELP also acquired a 65% interest in certain other tangible assets, including drilling and completion vessels, gas plants and compressor stations and a 100% interest in oil storage tanks. The acquisition also provides for ownership of certain seismic data. The assets were acquired for aggregate cash consideration of $133,048,000, including estimated transaction costs of $2,769,000. The allocation of the cash consideration to the various net assets acquired was based on a preliminary assessment of their underlying fair values and is summarized below:
Net assets acquired | | | |
Oil and natural gas rights | | $ | 113,425 | |
Other tangible assets | | | 27,373 | |
Asset retirement obligation | | | (7,291 | ) |
Future income tax liability | | | (459 | ) |
| | $ | 133,048 | |
Aggregate purchase price | | | | |
Cash | | $ | 133,048 | |
| | $ | 133,048 | |
Oil and natural gas rights and other tangible assets acquired have been included with “real estate, capital and other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Acquired resource properties with proved reserves will be depleted over proved reserves using a unit of production method. For purposes of these calculations, production and reserves of natural gas are converted to barrels (bbls) on an energy equivalent basis at a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas for one barrel (bbl) of oil. Depletion rates will be updated annually unless there is a material change in circumstances, in which case they would be updated more frequently. Acquisition costs of probable reserves are not depleted or amortized while under active evaluation for commercial reserves. Costs are transferred to depletable costs as proved reserves are recognized.
Acquisition of Nichromet Exploration Inc. (“Nichromet”).
On May 28, 2010, the Company completed a series of share purchase agreements to acquire a 51% interest in Nichromet Exploration Inc., a resource-based private company, for aggregate cash consideration of $3,692,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method with the aggregate purchase price allocated to the fair value of the net assets acquired.

Dilution of Interest in Dundee Realty Corporation
In 2006, the non-controlling shareholder of Dundee Realty Corporation (“Dundee Realty”) was granted options through the issuance of a class of Dundee Realty shares that enabled the non-controlling shareholder to acquire additional common shares of Dundee Realty over a six-year period, at an aggregate cost of approximately $10,698,000. If exercised, the non-controlling shareholder’s interest in Dundee Realty would increase to 30%. Prior to January 1, 2010, the non-controlling shareholder had paid $5,349,000 towards the exercise of these options.
In February 2010, the Company agreed to permit the acceleration of vesting requirements of the option arrangement, following which the non-controlling shareholder exercised all outstanding options for a further $5,349,000. As a result, the non-controlling shareholder’s interest increased to 30%, diluting the Company’s interest in Dundee Realty from 74% at December 31, 2009 to 70%. The Company recognized a dilution loss of $4,926,000 in respect of the transaction.
In the three and six months ended June 30 of the prior year, the Company recognized a dilution gain of $24,000 and $48,000 respectively, associated with changes in the non-controlling shareholder’s interest in Dundee Realty.
Changes in Ownership of DundeeWealth Inc.
From time to time, DundeeWealth Inc. (“DundeeWealth”) may issue common shares from its treasury to settle share incentive awards to employees and financial advisors, or otherwise. Unless the Company participates in the issuance of common shares from treasury on a pro-rata basis, such issuances will result in a dilution of the Company’s interest in DundeeWealth. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the issuance of common shares from treasury by DundeeWealth resulted in the Company recognizing a dilution loss of $23,000 and $1,311,000, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2009 – dilution gains of $479,000 and $707,000, respectively).
Equity Changes in Eurogas Corporation
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a dilution gain of $4,000 and $9,000, respectively, associated with changes in the equity of Eurogas (three and six months ended June 30, 2009 – dilution loss of $41,000).
Transactions Completed During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
During the three months ended June 30 of the prior year, the Company purchased 150,000 common shares of DundeeWealth for cash consideration of $1,281,000, marginally increasing the Company’s ownership interest. The increase in ownership was accounted for as a step acquisition in DundeeWealth, with the aggregate purchase price allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired as outlined in the table below. The amount allocated to investment management contracts was included in “Goodwill and other intangible assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The investment management contracts have an indefinite life and are therefore not subject to amortization.

Deconsolidation of Variable Interest Entity
During the first six months of the prior year, the Company’s real estate subsidiary held a 50% interest in The Distillery Historic District (the “co-ownership”). At the time of investment in the co-ownership, the real-estate subsidiary provided funds to the other co-owners to invest in the co-ownership. The co-ownership was determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company was considered the primary beneficiary and accordingly, the accounts of the VIE had been consolidated. In the second quarter of 2009, the co-owners repaid the funds advanced and as a result, the co-ownership is no longer considered a VIE. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2009, the Company deconsolidated 50% of the co-ownership.

From time to time, DundeeWealth’s brokerage subsidiary may sell securities that it does not own and will therefore be obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. The subsidiary may incur a loss if the market value of these securities subsequently increases.
During the three and six months ended June, 2010, DundeeWealth received interest and principal payments of $464,000 and $1,276,000 in respect of its portfolio of floating rate notes (“FRNs”) received on the restructuring of asset-backed commercial paper (“ABCP”). Amounts received were applied to reduce the carrying value of the FRNs. Subsequently, DundeeWealth recognized market appreciation of $464,000 and $1,276,000 during the same three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2009 – $46,047,000) in respect of the FRNs.

Unrealized changes in the fair values of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities, other than changes that are determined to be other-than-temporary impairments in fair value, are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized unrealized fair value losses of $31,183,000 (six months ended June
30, 2009 – fair value gains of $40,495,000), including fair value losses of $45,930,000 incurred during the second quarter of the current year (three months ended June 30, 2009 – fair value gains of $25,522,000).

Significant Transactions in Equity Accounted Investments
Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (“Dundee Precious”)
During the first quarter of 2010, Dundee Precious completed a public offering of 20,000,000 common shares of Dundee Precious at a price of $3.30 per share. The Company purchased an aggregate of 8,881,200 common shares of Dundee Precious pursuant to the offering at a cost to the Company of $29,308,000. As a result of the acquisition, the Company’s interest in Dundee Precious was increased from 20% to 23% at June 30, 2010.
Dundee Real Estate Investment Trust (“Dundee REIT”)
Dundee REIT completed public offerings in each of January, March and June 2010 pursuant to which it issued approximately 14,795,000 units of Dundee REIT for aggregate proceeds, before transaction costs, of $333,680,000. The Company did not participate in the offerings and accordingly, the Company’s interest in Dundee REIT was diluted to 11% at June 30, 2010. The Company continues to account for its investment in Dundee REIT on an equity basis as it is able to exert significant influence over the operations and financial results of Dundee REIT through its representation on the board of trustees of Dundee REIT, through services arrangements and through senior management representation.
Effect of Dilution of Interest on Share of Earnings of Equity Accounted Investees
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company realized dilution gains of $3,468,000 and $5,223,000, respectively, (three and six months ended June 30, 2009 – dilution loss of $373,000 and $1,470,000, respectively) in respect of equity accounted investments. These dilution amounts include $3,792,000 resulting from the Company’s dilution in Dundee REIT as previously discussed, of which $2,133,000 was realized during the second quarter of the current year.

Net future income tax liabilities | | $ | 29,178 | | | $ | 40,188 | |
The future income tax assets arise from available income tax loss carry forwards from current and prior years and future income tax deductions. A valuation allowance is recorded in respect of the total future income tax asset when management believes it is more likely than not that some or all of the future income tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of estimated future taxable income, the nature of the future income tax assets and potential tax planning strategies, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance of $11,156,000 is required in respect of its future income tax assets as at June 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009 – $13,020,000).
DundeeWealth realized a capital loss in respect of the sale of certain assets in a prior year. While the tax benefit of $12,451,000 in respect of this loss was not recognized in the consolidated financial statements or the table above, the loss can be carried forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains.
As at June 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had operating loss carry forwards of $562,557,000 (December 31, 2009 – $541,834,000). A summary of the operating loss carry forwards by year of expiry is as follows:

FAIR VALUE
All of the Company’s financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at carrying values that are representative of, or approximate their fair value, with the exception of the Company’s Preference shares, series 1 and the Series 1 preference shares, DundeeWealth, which had fair values as at June 30, 2010 of $144,660,000 and $148,466,000, respectively (December 31, 2009 – $129,900,000 and $145,043,000, respectively).
Fair Value Methods
Trading Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair value of trading securities owned and obligations related to trading securities sold short are based on quoted bid or ask market prices where available; otherwise, fair values are estimated using independent bid or ask quoted market prices of similar securities or other third-party evidence.
Available-for-Sale Financial Assets
The fair value of AFS financial assets is determined using quoted market prices from active markets where available. Fair value for CLOs and other structured products, for which market quotations are not readily available, is provided by the third party underwriter of the financial instrument in the form of an indicative bid value or, where available, the most recent trading price of such individual security. The third party underwriter uses a valuation model that incorporates prevailing primary and secondary market conditions and deal specific parameters. This valuation model is based, in part, on assumptions that may not be supported by observable market prices or rates. Indicative bid values provided are independently assessed by qualified professionals to ensure that th ey are reasonable.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in determining fair values. Changes in fair value measurements for financial instruments categorized as Level 3 are as follows:
| Three months ended | | Six months ended | |
| | 30-Jun-10 | | | 30-Jun-10 | |
Balance, beginning of period | | $ | 55,503 | | | $ | 68,678 | |
Net realized/unrealized gains in net earnings | | | 15,189 | | | | 34,630 | |
Net unrealized gains in other comprehensive income | | | (14,627 | ) | | | (24,473 | ) |
Dispositions and other proceeds | | | (17,271 | ) | | | (40,041 | ) |
Balance as at June 30, 2010 | | $ | 38,794 | | | $ | 38,794 | |
Level 3 inputs include inputs that are not based on observable market data and that are significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in estimating fair value of the financial instrument.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Detailed disclosures on the Company’s financial instruments are included in note 24 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and in the “Managing Risks” section of the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis as at and for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Market Risk
The following table illustrates the Company’s financial instruments which are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and are exposed to fair value risk. The table demonstrates the effect to net earnings and OCI, before associated income taxes and non-controlling interest, of a 3% absolute change in the fair value of the Company’s trading portfolio and portfolio of AFS securities.
| | 2010 | | | | | | 2009 | | | | |
| | Effect on | | | | | | Effect on | | | | |
For the six months ended June 30, | | Net earnings | | | OCI | | | Net earnings | | | OCI | |
Trading securities owned, net of trading securities sold short | | $ | 824 | | | $ | n/a | | | $ | 9,311 | | | $ | n/a | |

Mutual fund investments managed by a subsidiary | | | n/a | | | | 3,754 | | | | n/a | | | | 2,484 | |
Other portfolio investments | | | n/a | | | | 3,607 | | | | n/a | | | | 2,411 | |
(i) Other-than-temporary impairments in the fair value of AFS securities are recorded in net earnings.
The embedded exchange feature related to the Company’s exchangeable debentures is recorded at fair value, provided that such fair value adjustment does not result in an aggregate carrying value that is below the principal value of the exchangeable debentures outstanding. The Company has determined that at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of the embedded exchange feature was $nil and therefore, the exchangeable debentures were carried at their amortized cost.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate corporate debt, on client account margin loans and credit balances and, to a lesser extent, on cash and cash equivalents and on amounts related to securities borrowing activities. The following table illustrates the effect to net earnings, before associated income taxes and non-controlling interest, of a 50 basis point absolute change in market interest rates to these items.
| | |
| Effect on Net Earnings | |
| 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| $ | 3 | | | $ | 509 | |
| | 71 | | | | 433 | |
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk related to its investments in CLOs is discussed under the section “Specific Risks Associated with Operating Segments – Wealth Management”. Interest rate risk associated with variable rate real estate debt is discussed under the section “Specific Risks Associated with Operating Segments – Real Estate.”
The Company may be exposed to foreign exchange transaction and translation risk due to the volatility of foreign exchange rates, primarily arising on its U.S. dollar and Euro denominated investments, as well as on its corporate borrowings, to the extent that such borrowings were drawn in a foreign currency. In the prior year, DundeeWealth had drawn on a credit facility in foreign denominated currencies. As these amounts were repaid during 2009, the Company’s exposure to currency risk on borrowings is minimal. During the first six months of the prior year, a 3% change in foreign exchange rates on amounts borrowed in foreign currencies would have changed net earnings by $2,515,000.
The Company’s currency risk exposure on foreign denominated investments in CLOs is discussed under the section “Specific Risks Associated with Operating Segments – Wealth Management”.
DundeeWealth’s brokerage subsidiary enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to manage currency risk on pending securities settlements in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. At June 30, 2010, the notional value of outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts was $232,535,000 (December 31, 2009 – $193,089,000). Given the short-term nature of these foreign exchange contracts, any changes in fair value stemming from reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates would have a nominal effect on net earnings.
Market Risk in Assets under Management and Assets under Administration
Assets under management (“AUM”) are exposed to various forms of market risk including, but not limited to, fair value risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks transfer to DundeeWealth through the generation of management fee revenues, net of associated trailer service fees. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, a 3% change in the net asset value of AUM would change net earnings before taxes and non-controlling interest, by approximately $5,324,000 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – $3,920,000), before accounting for any changes in performance fees that may be generated by such a change in value.
The following table provides additional insight into the Company’s risk exposure to fluctuations in the fair value of AUM.
| | AUM by Asset Type | | | | AUM by Base Currency | |
| | June 30, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | | | | June 30, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
Equity | | $ | 26,797,000 | | | $ | 26,259,000 | | Canadian dollars | | $ | 27,515,000 | | | $ | 26,543,000 | |
Fixed income | | | 11,252,000 | | | | 9,821,000 | | U.S. dollars | | | 7,943,000 | | | | 6,903,000 | |
| | | | | | | | | Other | | | 2,591,000 | | | | 2,634,000 | |
| | $ | 38,049,000 | | | $ | 36,080,000 | | | | $ | 38,049,000 | | | $ | 36,080,000 | |
The Company also incurs market risk exposure to fluctuations in assets under administration (“AUA”). While DundeeWealth does not quantify its exposure to these risks in isolation, it does monitor the portion of its AUA of $17.7 billion (December 31, 2009 – $18.1 billion) which earns trailer fee revenues, a significant component of financial services revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, a 3% change in the net asset value of these AUA would result in a $356,000 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – $291,000) change in net earnings, before taxes and non-controlling interest.
Credit Risk
DundeeWealth manages its credit risk in certain types of trading activities through the establishment of aggregate limits by individual counterparty, reviewing security and loan concentrations and marking-to-market collateral provided on certain transactions.
The real estate segment manages its exposure to credit risk by attracting tenants and land buyers of sound financial standing, diversifying its mix of tenants and ensuring adequate security has been provided in support of loans. It also monitors tenant payment patterns and regularly discusses potential tenant issues with property managers.
Liquidity Risk
The following table summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities as at June 30, 2010.
| | Carrying Amount | | Contractual Term to Maturity |
Bank indebtedness (note 10) | | $ | - | | No fixed term to maturity |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | | 270,108 | | Typically due within 20 to 90 days |

Specific Risks Associated with Operating Segments
Wealth Management
Collateralized Loan Obligations
At June 30, 2010, DundeeWealth held seven positions (December 31, 2009 – 27 positions) in CLOs, including U.S. dollar denominated CLOs with a par value of US$21,520,000 (December 31, 2009 – US$87,717,000) and Euro denominated CLOs with a par value of €5,500,000 (December 31, 2009 – €15,500,000). The CLOs are collateralized by a diversified portfolio of senior secured first-lien corporate loans and are, for the most part, unlevered. Of the seven positions held, one was rated BBB (December 31, 2009 – five), four were rated BB (December 31, 2009 – 12) and the remaining two positions were investments in equity tranches (December 31, 2009 – 10).
DundeeWealth continues to monitor the fundamental credit quality of loans supporting its CLOs using three standard macro economic measures including over-collateralization tests, the weighted average rating factor of the underlying portfolios and the number of CCC-rated loans supporting the collateral. In the first six months of the prior year, the Company concluded that these factors contributed to objective evidence of financial difficulty of the collateral supporting each CLO investment and accordingly, it recognized a fair value loss in net earnings of $9,501,000.
In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s CLO portfolio appreciated by $332,000, notwithstanding the continued issues relating to the credit quality of the underlying collateral. To the extent that this market appreciation remains unrealized at June 30, 2010, the Company recognized this market appreciation in OCI as the increase was not objectively related to a credit event in the underlying collateral.
In addition to fair value risk, DundeeWealth incurs interest rate risk and currency risk related to its portfolio of CLO investments. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and OCI, before associated income taxes and non-controlling interest, of a 3% change in foreign exchange rates and a 50 basis point change in interest rates. The effect of changes to OCI would be transferred to net earnings if such change was determined to be other-than-temporary.

DundeeWealth’s approach to estimating fair value of FRNs consists of a review of the asset class associated with each FRN, a review of available public information concerning the FRN and other industry information. Fair value of the underlying assets is affected by a wide variety of factors including, but not limited to, current and expected default and delinquency experience for assets underlying the FRNs, the weighted average life of the assets, the vintage of asset origination, changes in credit spreads and the global pricing of structured finance assets. Some observable market indices used in this approach include: tracking the changes in spreads for the investment grade North American Credit Index and its European counterpart, and market prices for reference portfolios of various asse t classes such as commercial mortgages, lines of credit, equipment leases, auto leases and trade receivables. However, this valuation technique also requires making various assumptions that may not be supported by observable market prices or rates.
While DundeeWealth’s valuation technique, as outlined above, has taken into account the recent economic environment, there is no assurance that the pricing of these assets will not increase or decline in future periods, or that the FRNs will trade at a market value which is the same as their fair value. As a result, these estimates may change materially in subsequent reporting periods.
Real Estate
Real estate debt included in the Company’s real estate segment creates specific interest rate risk and liquidity risk. In addition, the foreign exchange forward contract in the real estate segment creates currency risk.
Dundee Realty is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate debt. Interest incurred to finance land and housing developments is capitalized to the cost of inventory, while interest incurred to finance operations is charged to net earnings. A 50 basis point change in market interest rates would change net earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2010, before taxes and non-controlling interest by $69,000 (six months ended June 30, 2009 – $289,000) and would change the carrying value of inventory at June 30, 2010 by $41,000 (December 31, 2009 – $318,000).
The following table summarizes the scheduled principal repayments and debt maturities in respect of real estate debt.

Resource
Eurogas incurs interest rate risk through its investments in discounted notes and GICs and, to a lesser extent, in its cash position. For every 50 basis point increase in market interest rates, net earnings before taxes and non-controlling interest, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 would increase by approximately $160,000 and conversely, a 50 basis point decrease in market interest rates would decrease net earnings before taxes and non-controlling interest by $134,000.
As a result of the establishment of a credit facility in connection with the acquisition of oil and natural gas assets (note 2), Eurogas will also be exposed to interest rate risk on bank borrowings. As the credit facility was established on June 29, 2010, the impact of changes in interest rates to net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 would be minimal.
Eurogas’ equity investment in Escal is considered a self-sustaining operation and the current method is used for translating the results of its operations with unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments included in OCI. A 3% change in the foreign exchange translation rate of Euros to Canadian dollars would change the value of the equity investment in Escal by approximately $71,000 (December 31, 2009 – $81,000), with the unrealized foreign exchange amount recognized in OCI.
Equity Accounted Investments
The various risk factors discussed above may impact the Company’s equity accounted investments and therefore impact future net earnings and OCI. The Company, however, does not measure or monitor these risks in isolation.
The Company defines the capital that it manages as the aggregate of its shareholders’ equity and interest bearing debt, including outstanding preference shares. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Company’s capital as at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Type of capital | | June 30, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
Shareholders' equity | | $ | 1,134,364 | | | $ | 1,119,982 | |

Detailed disclosures of the Company’s objectives when managing capital are included in note 25 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
At June 30, 2010, regulated subsidiaries exceeded required levels of regulatory capital, with excess working capital of $387,414,000 (December 31, 2009 – $352,978,000) in its investment management business and excess regulatory capital of $30,361,000 (December 31, 2009 – $38,449,000) in its brokerage business.
As at June 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries complied with all regulatory capital requirements and all debt covenants.
24. | COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS |
Other than as disclosed below, there have been no substantive changes to the description and nature of commitments, contingencies and off-balance sheet arrangements from those described in note 26 to the 2009 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Land Purchase Agreements and Estimated Costs to Complete
At June 30, 2010, Dundee Realty has commitments under land purchase agreements totalling $1,012,000 (December 31, 2009 – $36,762,000) which will become payable in future periods upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to these agreements. Estimated costs to complete land and housing and condominium projects which have not been accrued at June 30, 2010 were $1,790,000 (December 31, 2009 – $2,801,000).
Joint Ventures and Co-ownerships
Dundee Realty may conduct its real estate activities from time to time through joint ventures with third party partners. At June 30, 2010, the Company is contingently liable for the obligations of the other owners of the unincorporated joint ventures in the amount of $38,061,000 (December 31, 2009 – $27,778,000). The Company would have available to it the other venturers’ share of assets to satisfy the obligations that may arise.
Legal Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal actions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time and the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, based on information currently available, that these are not material liabilities, adequate provisions have been made for any liabilities and the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
Pledge of Interest in Castor UGS Limited Partnership
Escal UGS S.L. (“Escal”) (note 6) has established a credit facility with an international banking syndicate for up to €1.3 billion for the construction and development of its underground natural gas storage facility. Eurogas has assigned a limited recourse guarantee of its interest in Castor UGS Limited Partnership, the partnership structure through which Eurogas holds its interest in Escal, as security pursuant to the credit facility.
25. | FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES |
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In February 2008, the AcSB affirmed that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises will be converged with IFRS effective in calendar year 2011. The implementation of IFRS will apply to the Company's interim and annual consolidated financial statements beginning on January 1, 2011, including the restatement of comparative amounts for 2010. As a result, the Company will publish its first consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
While IFRS standards are premised on a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP, there are differences in the areas of recognition, measurement and disclosure that may materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. The transition to IFRS represents a significant initiative by the Company and as such, the Company has established an IFRS implementation committee with a mandate to oversee the conversion process. An assessment has been completed to identify the key accounting differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS. The impact of these differences to the Company’s consolidated financial results at the time of transition and on implementation is currently being assessed. Based on existing IFRS, significant differences to Canadian GAAP that may m aterially impact the Company’s financial results include, but are not limited to, fair value determination and accounting for investment properties, accounting for oil and gas assets and resource properties, principals of consolidation, measurement of contingencies, income taxes and impairment of assets. The impact of IFRS to the Company at the transition will depend on the IFRS standards in effect at the time, accounting elections that have not yet been made and the prevailing business and economic facts and circumstances.
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company redefined the business segments in which it operates in order to more appropriately reflect changes in its underlying business activities. A more detailed description of the changes in each business segment is provided below. Prior period segmented information has been restated to conform with the current period segmented presentation.
Wealth Management
The wealth management segment consists of the operations of DundeeWealth and its various operating subsidiaries. Through these subsidiaries, DundeeWealth provides diversified wealth management and investment solutions including alternative and tax-advantaged products, capital markets and advisory services to financial advisors, institutions, corporations and foundations, and innovative wealth management through independent financial advisors across Canada.
Real Estate
The real estate segment consists of the business activities of Dundee Realty, a private company with operating activities in the land and housing business in Canada and the United States. These activities are supplemented by a portfolio of select income generating properties. The Company’s real estate segment also includes the results of its 11% interest in Dundee REIT.
Resource
Activities in the resource segment are primarily carried out through Eurogas, an oil and gas company that carries on exploration, development, production, acquisition and natural gas storage activities and has interests in Ontario, Spain and Tunisia. The resource segment also includes activities related to the Company’s interests in Dundee Precious Metals Inc. and Breakwater Resources Ltd., which are accounted for by the equity method.
Asset Management
The Company’s asset management activities are carried out through Ned Goodman Investment Counsel Limited (“NGIC”), Dundee Real Estate Asset Management (“DREAM”), and through Dundee Resources Ltd. NGIC and DREAM provide sub-advisory and investment services to third party assets under management. NGIC, together with Dundee Resources Ltd., also provides investment services in respect of the Company’s portfolio of AFS securities, other than those investments associated with wealth management activities. These investments include both publicly traded and private companies in a variety of sectors as well as liquid securities such as mutual funds.
The asset management segment includes general corporate overhead costs, as well as interest and debt servicing costs, to the extent that such costs have not been specifically allocated to any operating division.
