BTBS OBJECTIVES
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

i) to expand its real estate asset base and increase its net operating
income to fund distributions through an accretive acquisition and
property management program;

ii) to increase its asset value and maximize long-term unit value
through active portfolio management; and

iii) to generate stable and growing cash distributions on a tax efficient

basis for unitholders.

2
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

BTB focuses on geographic markets located in Ontario and

Quebec, acquiring assets with:
Long-term leases;
Low vacancy rates; or
High credit tenants including government, national, or multinational
businesses.
BTB acquires properties in the range of $10 to $50 million per
asset.
In these target markets, this category of assets is typically too large
for local investors to acquire or too small to be attractive to larger
real estate investment trusts or institutional buyers, reducing overall
buyer competition in this segment.
BTB is internally managed.

As at December 31, 2016, the weighted average contractual interest rate of the REITs long-
term debt stood at 4.16%, i.e. 3.79% for mortgages payable and 7.03% for convertible
debentures. The average maturity of mortgage loans is 5.9 years.

SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN 2016
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On June 30, 2016, and July 19, 2016, on the exercising of the overallotment
option, the Trust issued approximately 7.2 million units at $4.55 by public
subscription, for approximately $31 million in proceeds, net of underwriting
fees and issue expenses.

The proceeds of issue were used to redeem the Series D debentures in the
amount of $23 million bearing interest at 7.25% and a portion of the
acquisition line of credit in the amount of $6.1 million bearing interest at
5.95%.

These transactions reduced the Trusts overall debt rate by 400 basis points.

These transactions also reduced the per-unit ratios by 1.2 per quarter and
significantly increased the various payout ratios, FFO by 10% and AFFO by
6%.

16
SIGNIFICANT EVENT IN 2016 (contd)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

These transactions also resulted in the write-off of unamortized financing

expenses and the liability component of the convertible debenture. This write-
off, a non-recurring transaction totalling $1,088, is not, in accordance with
REALpacs recommendations, adjusted into the calculation of FFO. If it had
been taken into account, FFO and recurring FFO would have increased by
2.6 per unit for the quarter.
Although our FFO increased from 2015 to 2016, from $16M to $17M, because
of the reduction of the debentures, our FFO ratio increased from 88,6% to
92.8%. Had we not redeemed the debentures, we would have ended the year
at 82.4%.
Although our AFFO increased from 2015 to 2016, from $17M to $17,3M, our
AFFO ratio increased from 89% to 94.5%. Had we not redeemed the
debentures, we would have ended the year at 88%.
Management considers that the long term benefits of the reduced debt rate
outweigh the short term consequences of the deterioration in the various per-
unit and payout ratios.

BTBs INTERNAL GROWTH
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

BTB increased its rental revenues by 5.6% for its 2016 lease renewals and
by 10.1% for its lease renewals for Q4-2016.

BTB has implemented and actively manages its capital improvement

program to ensure that the quality of the portfolio meets the standards of
competitive properties and allows the properties to retain structural and
aesthetic integrity for their intended useful life.

Managements extensive experience capitalizes on upside potential for its

properties.

20
BTBs INTERNAL GROWTH
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

BTBs internal growth strategy focuses on increasing rental income

by:

Maintaining harmonious relations with its tenants

Leasing rapidly vacant or soon to be vacated spaces
Being proactive in its day-to-day property management
BTB listens to its clients needs. By initiating lease renewals early
in the process, BTB minimizes transaction costs associated with
marketing, leasing and tenant improvements and minimizes costs
associated with renovations and interruptions in rental income
resulting from periods of vacancy.
