InnVest REIT Reports Third Quarter Results

    - Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid -

    TORONTO, Nov. 7 /CNW/ - InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:
INN.UN) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
    "We delivered continued growth this quarter highlighted by a same-store
revenue per available room ("RevPAR") increase of 2.1%, stable margins and
improvements in distributable income and funds from operations per unit,"
commented Kenny Gibson, InnVest's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"InnVest's business strategy since its inception has been to assemble a
diversified portfolio; by geography, by customer and by brand. Our
diversification, combined with our hotel managers' expertise, helps drive
stable operating earnings for the portfolio."

    Third Quarter Highlights

    -   Improved revenue per available room 2.1% on a same hotel basis driven
        by a 5.1% increase in average daily rates ("ADR");

    -   Increased hotel operating income by 31.5% to $64.6 million, an
        increase of $15.5 million over 2007. Acquisitions completed in late
        2007, including the addition of 11 upscale and first-class hotels
        (the "Legacy Portfolio"), contributed the majority of the increase,
        with InnVest's Base Portfolio improving 2.3%;

    -   Maintained hotel operating income margins on a same hotel basis at
        36.6%;

    -   Generated net income from continuing operations of $24.5 million in
        2008 compared to $30.0 million in 2007. Excluding the change in
        future income taxes, net income from continuing operations was
        relatively unchanged at $24.8 million compared to $24.9 million for
        the same period in 2007;

    -   Increased distributable income by 17.2% to $40.6 million.
        Distributable income improved over $0.02 per unit to $0.497 per unit
        diluted;

    -   Invested $9.7 million in our hotels to maintain and enhance the
        portfolio's competitive position, funded from restricted cash
        reserves, capital loan facilities and cash from operations; and

    -   Sold two hotels for $12.9 million less closing costs, resulting in
        accounting gains on sale of $1.3 million.

    1.  Funds from operations and distributable income are measures of
        earnings and cash flow that are not required or do not have a
        prescribed meaning under Canadian generally accepted accounting
        principles, and accordingly, may not be comparable to similar
        measures used by other organizations. Funds from operations and
        distributable income per unit are calculated on a basis consistent
        with earnings per unit.

    For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the REIT has
categorized 131 of its 133 hotels owned for the entire current and comparative
period as its "Base Portfolio", with the remaining two hotels being classified
as discontinued operations. Twelve hotels acquired in 2007, which include the
Legacy Portfolio are categorized as the "2007 Acquisitions". Operating results
for three assets acquired or developed were capitalized in accordance with the
REIT's accounting policy. All of the 2007 Acquisitions were acquired during
the third quarter of 2007 and therefore were not included for the entire
comparative period. Specifically, the Legacy Portfolio was acquired on
September 18, 2007. As a result, third quarter and year-to-date results in
2007 only include 13 days of comparative operating results for these assets.

    FINANCIAL REVIEW

    Three months ended September 30, 2008

    Third quarter hotel revenues increased $57.9 million, or 42.5%, to
$193.8 million. The full period inclusion of the 2007 Acquisitions contributed
the majority of this increase, generating $54.8 million in incremental hotel
revenues as compared to the third quarter of 2007. Revenues for InnVest's Base
Portfolio increased 2.4% or $3.0 million.
    Overall, a 5.1% increase in ADR as compared to the prior year offset
occupancy declines during the period, resulting in Base Portfolio RevPAR
growth of 2.1% for the third quarter. These trends are similar to those
experienced through the first half of the year as the Trust continues to focus
its efforts to drive room rates throughout the portfolio.
    Room revenues increased $40.7 million during the quarter to
$157.4 million. The Base Portfolio contributed $111.4 million of these
revenues with recent acquisitions contributing the balance. The year-over-year
increase was primarily driven by the $38.3 million in incremental room
revenues from the 2007 Acquisitions given their full period inclusion in the
third quarter of 2008. Consistent with the RevPAR performance, InnVest's Base
Portfolio saw room revenues improve 2.1% led by continued efforts to drive
room rates throughout the portfolio.
    The Quebec region continued to achieve the highest room revenue growth,
increasing 11.0% as compared to 2007. This growth was driven by hotels in
Quebec City which are benefiting from festivities associated with the city's
400th anniversary celebrations. Room revenues at the Hilton Quebec City during
the seasonally strong third quarter were up almost 40% as compared to the
prior year. The western region realized room revenue growth of 1.4% over the
prior year. Continued emphasis on room rate growth in the region, up 6.1% this
quarter, was somewhat offset by occupancy declines. Lower crew business from
the oil and gas and energy sectors is impacting occupancies in certain
markets. Occupancies were also impacted through the completion of extensive
renovations at one hotel during the quarter. For the Atlantic and Ontario
regions, occupancy declines offset the ADR growth achieved leading to modest
year-over-year RevPAR declines.
    Non-room revenues for the third quarter totaled $36.5 million, up
$17.2 million or 89.1% compared to the prior year. The Base Portfolio
contributed $16.0 million of these revenues with recent acquisitions
contributing the balance. This growth reflects the incremental non-room
revenues generated by the full period inclusion of hotels the REIT acquired in
2007. The majority of the hotels acquired were full-service hotels which
typically generate a higher proportion of total revenues from non-room
revenues such as food and beverage sales. Ongoing efforts to maximize all
ancillary revenue sources contributed to a 4.5% improvement in non-room
revenues from the Base Portfolio compared to the prior period, despite the
decline in overall occupancies for the period.
    Hotel expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased by
$42.4 million when compared to the same period in 2007. This increase reflects
$40.4 million in higher expenses incurred from the full period inclusion of
the 2007 Acquisitions. Hotel expenses for the Base Portfolio were up 2.5% over
the prior year reflecting inflationary cost increases and reflect several
steps taken by the Trust to manage costs throughout the portfolio.
    Third quarter hotel operating income ("HOI") improved by 31.5% or $15.5
million to $64.6 million. The Base Portfolio contributed $46.7 million of the
third quarter HOI. The full period inclusion of the 2007 Acquisitions
contributed $14.4 million of the overall HOI increase. The Base Portfolio HOI
improved $1.1 million, or 2.3%, reflecting the profitability impact of the
modest top-line revenue growth achieved.
    Modest top-line revenue growth combined with efforts to contain costs
throughout the portfolio enabled the Trust to maintain operating margins for
its Base Portfolio at 36.6%. Overall, the REIT's hotel operating income margin
declined 2.8 points to 33.3% for the third quarter of 2008 as compared to
2007. The decline is attributable to the impact of the 2007 Acquisitions which
generate a larger portion of their business in non-room revenues, which
typically yield lower margins.
    Other income and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008
totaled $39.8 million, up $15.6 million as compared to the prior period in
2007. The third quarter increase is primarily attributable to higher
depreciation and amortization of $8.6 million, as well as increased interest
expenses of $5.8 million resulting from the full period inclusion of the 2007
Acquisitions. The prior period also included $1.4 million in other income
which primarily represented interest income earned on the $270 million of
equity and convertible debentures proceeds raised in early August which were
held until the closing of the Legacy Portfolio acquisition in mid September.
    InnVest's net income from continuing operations for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 was $24.5 million or $0.330 per unit basic ($0.320
diluted), compared with $0.450 per unit basic ($0.420 diluted) in the prior
year. Excluding the change in future income taxes, net income from continuing
operations was relatively unchanged at $24.8 million compared to $24.9 million
for the same period in 2007.
    Third quarter results included a gain of $1.3 million relating to the
sale of two assets previously classified as held for sale. This gain was
offset by a writedown of $1.6 million on two remaining assets held for sale.
    InnVest earned funds from operations ("FFO") for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 of $47.6 million or $0.641 per unit basic ($0.583 diluted)
as compared to FFO of $39.4 million or $0.592 basic ($0.535 diluted) for the
same period in 2007. The $8.0 million increase is driven by the $15.5 million
improvement in hotel operating income for the quarter which was somewhat
offset by higher interest expenses of $5.8 million.
    Distributable income improved $6.0 million, or 17.2%, to $40.6 million or
$0.547 per unit basic ($0.497 diluted) for the three months ended September 30
2008. This compares to distributable income of $34.6 million or $0.520 per
unit basic ($0.474 diluted) in the prior year.
    Distributions declared during the quarter totaled $20.8 million or
$0.28125 per unit.

    Nine months ended September 30, 2008

    Year-to-date hotel revenues increased by $182.7 million, or 54.8%, to
$516.4 million. The full period inclusion of the 2007 Acquisitions contributed
the majority of this increase, generating $171.7 million in incremental hotel
revenues as compared to the prior period. Revenues for InnVest's Base
Portfolio increased 3.4% or $11.0 million as compared to the prior year.
    Overall, a 5.4% increase in ADR was offset by a 1.4 point decline in
overall occupancy for the Base Portfolio. Year-to-date RevPAR increased 3.2%.
    Hotel expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by
$139.1 million when compared to the same period in 2007. This reflects $131.9
million in higher expenses incurred following the full period inclusion of the
hotels acquired in 2007. Hotel expenses for the Base Portfolio were up 3.2%
over the prior year.
    Year-to-date HOI improved by 43.3% or $43.6 million to $144.3 million.
The full period inclusion of the 2007 Acquisitions contributed $39.8 million
of the overall HOI increase. The Base Portfolio improved 3.9% or $3.8 million
reflecting the positive contribution from its RevPAR growth combined with
diligent cost controls implemented throughout the portfolio.
    Top-line revenue growth combined with efforts to contain costs throughout
the portfolio enabled the Trust to improve year-to-date operating margins for
its Base Portfolio by 0.1 points to 30.3%. Overall for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, the REIT's hotel operating income margin declined 2.3
points to 27.9% as compared to 2007. The decline is attributable to the impact
of the 2007 Acquisitions which generate a larger portion of their business in
non-room revenues, which typically yield lower margins.
    Other income and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
totaled $121.4 million, up $46.8 million as compared to the prior year. The
increase is attributable to higher depreciation and amortization of $26.0
million, as well as increased interest expenses of $20.7 million resulting
from the full period inclusion of the 2007 Acquisitions. Year to date
corporate and administrative costs declined $1.5 million, primarily realized
in the first quarter, in connection with land transfer tax and legal costs
associated with the corporate reorganization completed in early 2007. These
savings were largely offset by a $1.4 million reduction in other income in
2008 owing to interest earned in 2007 on the interim holding of cash balances
from equity and convertible debentures raised in advance of their deployment
for the Legacy Portfolio acquisition.
    InnVest's net income from continuing operations was $27.4 million or
$0.373 per unit basic ($0.372 diluted), compared to $0.405 per unit basic and
diluted in the prior year.
    Year-to-date earnings include a $3.9 million writedown of the book value
of assets held for sale. This writedown was partially offset by a gain of $1.3
million relating to the sale of two assets in the third quarter. Two assets
remain classified as held for sale.
    InnVest earned FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $89.0
million or $1.208 per unit basic ($1.144 diluted) as compared to FFO of $69.3
million or $1.168 basic ($1.089 diluted) for the same period in 2007. The
$19.7 million increase is driven by the $43.6 million improvement in hotel
operating income for the period which was somewhat offset by higher interest
expenses of $20.7 million.
    Distributable income improved $13.9 million to $72.2 million or $0.980
per unit basic ($0.931 diluted) for the nine months ended September 30 2008.
This compares to distributable income of $58.3 million or $0.983 per unit
basic ($0.931 diluted) in the prior year.
    Distributions declared year-to-date totaled $62.2 million or $0.8438 per
unit.

    BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

    The REIT's cash position at September 30, 2008 was $26.2 million, of
which $3.0 million is restricted under the REIT's Declaration of Trust for the
replacement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment and for capital
improvements. At September 30, 2008, the REIT's leverage excluding and
including convertible debentures was 46.2% and 55.3% respectively.
    Continuing with its strategy of investing in its hotels, InnVest deployed
approximately $9.7 million for capital asset improvements during the third
quarter and committed an additional $2.3 million. Year-to-date capital
investments totaled $28.3 million.
    InnVest has an operating line of $40.0 million to fund short-term changes
in working capital. At September 30, 2008, this credit facility was undrawn.
In addition, the REIT has access to a loan facility, granted in conjunction
with property mortgages, with up to $29.1 million availability remaining to
fund 50% to 100% of capital expenditures incurred at individual hotels. At
September 30, 2008, the REIT has drawn $7.0 million on this facility.

    INCOME TAX DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE

    In 2007, 40% of the distributions made during that year were not taxable
to unitholders. Similarly, for calendar 2008, the REIT estimates that
approximately 40% of unitholder distributions will not be taxable to
unitholders.

    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

    The Trust also announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX")
has accepted its notice of intention to conduct a normal course issuer bid to
enable it to purchase up to 5,924,617 of its 74,410,729 trust units ("Units")
outstanding as at October 31, 2008, representing approximately 10% of
InnVest's public float of 59,246,173 units, pursuant to TSX rules. The average
daily trading volume for the six calendar months prior to the date hereof was
194,197 Units (25% being 48,549 Units).
    Purchases under the bid may commence November 11, 2008 and will terminate
on November 10, 2009. Purchases will be made at the prevailing market price at
the time. Units purchased will be cancelled. InnVest has not purchased any
Units on the open market within the past 12 months.
    InnVest issues additional Units each month through its distribution
reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). Unit repurchases will help to minimize the
dilutive effect of those issuances. Furthermore, InnVest believes that the
market price of its Units at certain times may be attractive and that the
purchase of Units from time to time would be an appropriate use of InnVest's
funds. Depending on the price of the Units and other factors, management
believes that repurchasing InnVest's Units can provide long-term benefits for
investors who continue to hold Units, by increasing their proportionate
interest in InnVest.
    The Trust also announced today that it has amended its DRIP to eliminate
the 3% discount offered to unitholders who elect to participate in the DRIP.
    On October 9, 2008, the REIT adopted a Unitholder rights plan (the
"Plan"), which will be in effect for a maximum of 180 days, following which it
will expire automatically. InnVest did not adopt the Plan in response to any
specific take-over proposal, nor has it been made aware of any such proposal.
The Plan is intended to ensure that Unitholders receive fair treatment in the
event of an unsolicited attempt to gain control of InnVest and, in such event,
to ensure Unitholders receive full value and that the Board of Trustees has
time to consider alternatives to maximize Unitholder value. The Board believes
that the implementation of the Plan is particularly important at the present
time given the volatility in the markets and the Board's view that InnVest's
Units are currently significantly undervalued.
    The rights will only become exercisable upon the occurrence of certain
triggering events, including the acquisition by a person or group of persons
of 15% or more of the outstanding Units in a transaction not approved by the
Board. On October 28, 2008, the Toronto Stock Exchange advised InnVest that it
has deferred its consideration of adoption of the Plan based on the fact that
the Plan will expire within 180 days of its effective date. In the interim,
the Plan remains in full effect in accordance with its terms.
    During the third quarter, InnVest sold two hotels. The Travelodge Toronto
East (155 rooms) was sold on August 21, 2008 for $6.7 million less closing
costs. The Quality Inn Downtown Montreal (96 rooms) was sold on August 26,
2008 for $6.2 million less closing costs. Net proceeds from the sales were
used to settle outstanding mortgage debt on these assets of $890 and $2.2
million, respectively. These assets had been classified as held for sale since
the fourth quarter of 2007. InnVest has two additional assets classified as
held for sale as at September 30, 2008.
    On September 15, 2008, InnVest exercised the first five-year extension
term on the Master Hotel Management Agreement with Westmont, extending the
expiration to July 25, 2017. InnVest's independent trustees approved the
extension following a review by third party hospitality consulting firms in
Canada.

    OUTLOOK

    While industry forecaster Pannell Kerr Forster is anticipating positive
RevPAR growth for the Canadian lodging industry in 2009, the current global
economic uncertainty leads us to a cautious outlook in the near-term.
    Volatile global credit and financial conditions have contributed to
significant uncertainty in economic activity globally and resulted in
significant constraints on access to capital. To date, such economic
uncertainties have primarily contributed to softening group bookings in
InnVest's larger urban hotels. In anticipation of these trends, the Trust has
taken steps to actively manage costs throughout the portfolio to minimize the
impact on profitability.
    Having successfully refinanced a large part of our portfolio in early
2008, InnVest has no significant debt maturities until July 2010. The Trust's
geographic, customer and brand diversity, which contributes to the resiliency
of the portfolio, positions the REIT to manage the potential near-term
operating impact of the current economic environment.

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    September 30, 2008 (all dollar amounts are in thousands, except unit and
    per unit amounts) (Unaudited)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1.  Basis of Presentation

    InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust ("InnVest" or the "REIT") is an
    unincorporated open-ended real estate investment trust governed by the
    laws of Ontario. The REIT began operations on July 26, 2002. The units of
    the REIT are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol of
    "INN.UN". As at September 30, 2008, the REIT owned 148 Canadian hotels
    operated under international brands and has a 50% interest in Choice
    Hotels Canada Inc. ("CHC").

    The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are
    prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
    principles ("GAAP"). The accounting principles used in these financial
    statements are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated
    financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, except as
    disclosed in Note 2. These financial statements do not include all the
    information and disclosure required by GAAP for annual financial
    statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual
    consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

    Revenues earned from hotel operations fluctuate throughout the year, with
    the third quarter being the highest due to the increased level of leisure
    travel in the summer months, and the first quarter being the lowest as
    leisure travel tends to be lower at that time of year.

    2.  Significant Accounting Policies

    The accounting policies followed in preparation of these financial
    statements are consistent with those as set out in the audited financial
    statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, except as follows:

    Capital Disclosures

    Effective January 1, 2008, the REIT adopted the Canadian Institute of
    Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Section 1535 - Capital Disclosures. This
    standard specifies the disclosure of (i) an entity's objectives, policies
    and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the
    entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any
    capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences
    of such non-compliance (see Note 12).

    Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Presentation

    Effective January 1, 2008, the REIT adopted two new CICA accounting
    standards: Section 3862 - Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Section
    3863 - Financial Instruments - Presentation. These new standards replace
    Section 3861 - Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. These
    standards revise and enhance disclosure requirements, and carry forward,
    unchanged, existing presentation requirements. These new standards place
    increased emphasis on disclosure about the nature and extent of risks
    arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks
    (see Note 14).

    Newly Built Hotels Acquired or Developed

    The REIT has retroactively implemented a new accounting policy with
    respect to costs capitalized to development properties. Capitalized costs
    include interest on hotel specific debt, property taxes, general and
    administrative expenses incurred directly in connection with the
    acquisition and development of hotel properties, and net operating losses
    until the earlier of hotel operating income break-even or one year (see
    Note 4).

    3.  Acquisitions

    On February 12, 2008, the REIT purchased the Staybridge Suites Guelph for
    $17,423 including transaction costs. The acquisition was funded through
    new mortgage debt of $8,300 and cash on hand.

    During the year ended December 31, 2007, InnVest became the owner of
    nine, and the lessee of two, of the following eleven first class hotels:
    The Fairmont Palliser, Sheraton Suites Calgary Eau Claire, Delta Calgary
    Airport, Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, Delta Winnipeg Hotel, Delta Ottawa
    Hotel and Suites, Delta Centre-Ville, Delta Beauséjour, Delta Prince
    Edward, Delta Barrington and the Delta Halifax (collectively, the "Legacy
    Portfolio"). The REIT also completed the purchases of the Staybridge
    Suites London and the Holiday Inn Express North Bay in 2007.

    The purchase price allocations associated with these acquisitions are
    summarized as follows:

    Included in Hotel Properties are two newly built hotels acquired and one
    hotel developed internally adjacent to a hotel owned by the REIT, with a
    combined net book value of $52,852 (December 31, 2007 - $29,828).
    Included in this balance is $1,235 (December 31, 2007 - $ nil) of net
    operating losses. No depreciation has been recorded for these three
    hotels under the REIT's Significant Accounting Policy - Newly Built
    Hotels Acquired or Developed (see Note 2). One of the newly built hotels
    opened in July 2007, therefore net operating losses are no longer

    8. Bank Indebtedness

    In the first quarter of 2008, the REIT provided five unencumbered
    properties as additional security for its operating line which was
    increased from $25,000 to $40,000. The operating line bears interest at
    Canadian bank prime rate plus 0.5% or the Canadian Bankers' Acceptance
    rate plus 1.5%. With the addition of the five properties, the operating
    line is now secured by 14 properties and is payable on demand.

    A bridge loan was funded on March 19, 2008 for $9,000, whereby the REIT
    provided an additional unencumbered hotel as security. The bridge loan
    bears interest at Canadian Bankers' Acceptance rate plus 2.0%, is for a
    term of one year, and requires interest payments only.

    The REIT's bridge loan facility of $215,000, entered into as part of the
    closing for the acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio in 2007, was paid in
    full in the first quarter of 2008 as part of the refinancing of these
    assets (See Note 9). Deferred financing costs related to this bridge loan
    were written off as part of depreciation and amortization expense.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Substantially all of the REIT's assets have been pledged as security

    weighted average interest rate of 5.8% (December 31, 2007 - 6.4%) and a
    weighted average effective interest rate of 6.1% (December 31, 2007 -
    6.5%). The long-term debt is repayable in average monthly payments of
    principal and interest totalling $5,443 (December 31, 2007 - $4,805) per
    month, and matures at various dates from June 1, 2009 to March 21, 2018.

    Scheduled repayment of long-term debt is as follows:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The current portion of long-term debt on the balance sheet is based on
    the twelve months ending September 30, 2009, whereas the repayment
    schedule above reflects the fiscal year.

    The estimated fair value of the REIT's long-term debt at September 30,
    2008 was approximately $937,071 (December 31, 2007 - $717,463). This
    estimate was determined by discounting expected cash flows at the
    interest rates currently being offered to the REIT for debt of the same
    remaining maturities.

    Long-term debt includes $87,141 (December 31, 2007 - $79,777) of
    mortgages payable, which are subject to floating interest rates. Annual
    interest expense will increase by $871 for every 1% increase in the base
    Bankers' Acceptance rate.

    As part of the Staybridge Suites Guelph acquisition (see Note 3), the
    REIT obtained $8,300 of new debt bearing an interest rate of 5.5% for a
    ten-year term. The issuance costs associated with the debt amounted to
    $11.

    On February 29, 2008, the REIT received $343,000 of the $350,000 mortgage
    financing on 10 of the 11 hotels in the Legacy Portfolio. Existing debt
    of $154,765 was paid out and the REIT obtained new debt of $40,000 on two
    assets which were previously unencumbered. Transaction costs of $4,509
    were incurred for this transaction. InnVest fixed the interest rates on
    $370,000, with the remaining $20,000 subject to floating rates. The
    weighted average term to maturity is 4.9 years and the weighted average
    blended interest rate is 5.6%.

    A portion of the proceeds from the February 29, 2008 refinancing
    transaction were used to repay the balance of the $215,000 bridge loan
    facility entered into for the acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio in
    2007, which had a maturity date of June 13, 2008.

    Interest expense on mortgages and other debt, interest on operating and
    bridge loans, as well as convertible debentures interest are considered
    operating items in the statement of cash flows.

    The REIT has access to a loan facility, granted in conjunction with
    property mortgages, of up to $29,054 available to fund 50% to 100% of
    capital expenditures incurred at individual hotels. At September 30,
    2008, the REIT has drawn $7,046 on this facility (December 31, 2007 -
    nil).

    12. Capital Management

    The REIT manages its capital, which is defined as the aggregate of
    unitholders' equity and debt, under the terms of the Declaration of
    Trust. The REIT's capital management objectives are to ensure compliance
    with debt and investment restrictions outlined in its Declaration of
    Trust as well as external existing debt covenants, allow for the
    implementation of its acquisition strategy and hotel property
    refurbishment program and finally build long-term unitholder value.
    Issuances of equity and debt are approved by the Board of Trustees (the
    "Board") through their review and approval of the REIT's strategic plan
    and annual budget plan, along with changes to the approved plans
    periodically throughout each year.

    At September 30, 2008, InnVest's primary contractual obligations
    consisted of long-term mortgage obligations and convertible debentures.
    InnVest is not permitted to exceed certain financial leverage amounts
    under the terms of the Declaration of Trust. The REIT is permitted to
    hold indebtedness excluding convertible debentures up to a level of 50%
    of gross asset value. Further, the REIT is permitted to have indebtedness
    and convertible debentures up to a level of 60% of gross asset value. The
    Declaration of Trust also governs that individual property mortgages, or
    mortgages on a pool of properties, cannot exceed 75% of the value of the
    underlying property. InnVest calculates indebtedness in accordance with
    GAAP excluding non-interest bearing indebtedness, trade accounts payable,
    and any future income tax liability. InnVest calculates gross asset value
    as the total book value of assets on the REIT's balance sheet, plus the
    accumulated depreciation and amortization, less future income tax
    liabilities.

    At September 30, 2008, the REIT's leverage excluding and including
    convertible debentures was 46.2% and 55.3% respectively, calculated as
    follows:

    (1) Adjusted to eliminate financing issuance costs and include long-term

    The REIT's Declaration of Trust also includes guidelines that limit
    capital expended to, among other items, the following:

    (a) Direct and indirect investments in real property on which hotels are
        situated and the hotel business conducted thereon, primarily in
        Canada, and in entities whose activities consist primarily of
        franchising hotels;
    (b) Temporary investments held in cash, deposits with a Canadian
        Chartered bank or trust company, short term government debt
        securities or in money market instruments of, or guaranteed by, a
        Schedule 1 Canadian bank, short term commercial paper, notes, bonds
        of other debt securities of a Canadian entity having a rating of at
        least R-1 (Mid) by Dominion Bond Rating Service or A-1 (Mid) by
        Standard & Poor's Corporation maturing prior to one year from the
        date of issue; and
    (c) Investments in mortgages or mortgage bonds, where the related
        security is a first mortgage on income producing real property which
        otherwise complies with (a) above and is subject to certain leverage
        limits and debt service coverage. The aggregate value of such
        investments shall not exceed 20% of the unitholders' equity;

    The REIT is in compliance with these guidelines.

    The REIT is also subject to certain restrictions on the issuance of
    equity as discussed in Note 13. The REIT can issue on a non-cumulative
    basis a total of approximately $143 million in equity annually in each of
    2008 through 2010 and maintain its relief from taxation to the end of
    2010.

    As outlined in the Declaration of Trust, the REIT is required to
    distribute monthly to unitholders not less than one-twelfth of eighty
    percent (80%) of distributable income of the REIT for the calendar year
    (see Note 17).

    The REIT maintains an operating line of $40 million with a Canadian
    Chartered bank with the following covenants in addition to the leverage
    limits under the Declaration of Trust:

    (a) Trailing twelve months consolidated earnings before interest, taxes,
        depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") to consolidated interest
        expense of not less than 2.0 times (actual being 2.6 times at
        September 30, 2008 and 2.8 times at December 31, 2007);
    (b) Trailing twelve months consolidated EBITDA to consolidated debt
        service of not less than 1.5 times (actual being 2.3 times at
        September 30, 2008 and 2.3 times at December 31, 2007); and
    (c) Unitholders' Equity of not less than $300,000 (actual being $579,131
        at September 30, 2008 and $604,666 at December 31, 2007).


    13. Income Taxes and Future Income Tax Liability

    InnVest currently qualifies as a Mutual Fund Trust for income tax
    purposes. As required by its Declaration of Trust, InnVest intends to
    distribute all taxable income to its unitholders and to deduct these
    distributions for income tax purposes (Note 17).

    In June 2007, a Bill was enacted for the taxation of publicly traded
    trusts, including income trusts (the "Bill"). The Bill applies to
    publicly traded trusts which existed prior to November 1, 2006 starting
    with taxation years ending in 2011, except for those trusts that qualify
    for the real estate investment trust ("Qualifying REIT") exception
    included in the legislation. An existing trust may lose its relief from
    taxation in the interim periods to 2011 where it undergoes "undue
    expansion". Pursuant to the legislation, a REIT which carries on Canadian
    hotel operations (including through subsidiaries) will not be a
    Qualifying REIT. As a result, InnVest will be subject to tax starting
    January 1, 2011.

    The Bill may adversely affect the level of cash distribution to
    unitholders commencing in 2011 if InnVest does not become a Qualifying
    REIT by then. Management is reviewing whether it is feasible to
    reorganize InnVest so that non-qualifying operations and assets are
    transferred under a plan of arrangement to a taxable entity that is held
    by InnVest unitholders, and that the InnVest hotels, which continue to be
    owned by the REIT, are leased by it to the taxable entity. It is not
    possible at this preliminary juncture to provide any assurances that any
    such reorganization or a similar reorganization can or will be
    implemented before 2011, or that any such reorganization, if implemented,
    would not result in material costs or other adverse consequences to
    InnVest and its unitholders.

    14. Financial Instruments

    Risk Management

    In the normal course of business, the REIT is exposed to a number of
    risks that can affect its operating performance. These risks, and the
    actions taken to manage them, are as follows:

    Interest Rate Risk

    The time period over which Management is spreading the debt maturities
    implies an average term to maturity of approximately five years. This
    strategy reduces the REIT's exposure to re-pricing risk resulting from
    short-term interest rate fluctuations in any one year. Management is of
    the view that such a strategy will provide the most effective interest
    rate risk management for debt.

    The REIT's floating rate debt balance is monitored by Management to
    minimize the REIT's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. As at
    September 30, 2008 the REIT's floating rate debt balance of $87,141
    (December 31, 2007 - $79,777) is approximately 9.1% of total long-term
    debt.

    Credit Risk

    Credit risks relate to the possibility that hotel guests, either
    individual or corporate, do not pay the amounts owed to the REIT. The
    REIT mitigates this risk by limiting its exposure to customers allowed to
    pay by invoice after check out ("direct bill"). Accounts receivable as at
    September 30, 2008 is $34,663 (December 31, 2007 - $28,677). InnVest
    reviews accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts is
    adjusted for any balances which are determined by management to be
    uncollectable. This provision adjustment is expensed in the hotel
    operating income. The allowance as at September 30, 2008 is $547
    (December 31, 2007 - $670) or 1.6% (December 31, 2007 - 2.3%) of total
    receivables. The amount included in hotel expenses for the nine months
    ended September 30, 2008 is $42 (nine months ended September 30, 2007 -
    $111).

    Liquidity Risk

    Liquidity risk arises from the possibility of not having sufficient debt
    and equity capital available to the REIT to fund its growth and capital
    maintenance programs and refinance its obligations as they arise.

    There is a risk that lenders will not refinance maturing debt on terms
    and conditions acceptable to the REIT or on any terms at all.
    Management's strategy mitigates the REIT's exposure to excessive amount
    of debt maturing in any one year. There is also a risk that bank lenders
    will not refinance the operating credit facility on terms and conditions
    acceptable to the REIT or on any terms at all.

    Fair Values

    The fair values of the REIT's financial assets and liabilities,
    representing net working capital, approximate their recorded values at
    September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 due to their short-term nature.

    The fair value of the REIT's long-term debt is less than the carrying
    value by approximately $18,658 at September 30, 2008 (December 31, 2007 -
    fair value exceeded carrying value by approximately $1,764) due to
    changes in interest rates since the dates on which the individual
    mortgages were received. The fair value of long-term debt has been
    estimated based on the current market rates for mortgages with similar
    terms and conditions.

    The fair value of the REIT's convertible debentures is less than the
    carrying value by approximately $11,911 at September 30, 2008
    (December 31, 2007 - fair value exceeded carrying value by approximately
    $3,530). The fair value of convertible debentures has been estimated
    based on the market rates for convertible debentures as at September 30,
    2008 and December 31, 2007.

    Letters of Credit

    As at September 30, 2008 the REIT has letters of credit totaling $3,718
    (December 31, 2007 - $3,378) held on behalf of security deposits for
    various utility companies and liquor licenses, and additional security
    for the pension liabilities.

    15. Unitholders' Equity

    The REIT is authorized to issue an unlimited number of units, each of
    which represents an equal undivided beneficial interest in any
    distributions from the REIT. All units are of the same class with equal
    rights and privileges. Per the Declaration of Trust, units cannot be
    issued from treasury unless the trustees consider it not to be dilutive
    to ensuing annual distributions of distributable income to existing
    unitholders.

    Trustee Compensation Plan

    The members of the Board of Trustees receive 50% of their annual retainer
    in units (based on the then current market price of the units). The REIT
    has set aside 100,000 units in reserve for this purpose. The balance in
    this reserve account at September 30, 2008 is 27,955 units. Under the
    Trustee Compensation Plan, 11,464 units were issued during the nine
    months ended September 30, 2008 (nine months ended September 30, 2007 -
    6,519 units).

    Executive Compensation Plan

    The senior executives participate in the executive compensation plan
    under which units are granted by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
    The REIT has reserved a maximum of 1,000,000 units for issuance under the
    plan. The balance in this reserve account at September 30, 2008 is
    823,200 units. A unit granted through the plan entitles the holder to
    receive, on the vesting date, the then current fair market value of the
    unit plus the value of the cash distributions that would have been paid
    on the unit if it had been issued on the date of grant assuming the
    reinvestment of the distribution into REIT units. The payment will be
    satisfied through the issuance of units.

    The following table summarizes the status of the executive compensation
    plan at September 30, 2008, excluding granted units which have fully
    vested:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In March 2008, the Board of Trustees approved the granting of
    20,455 units effective as of January 1, 2008. These units vest equally on
    the third and fourth anniversaries of the effective date of grant.

    Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP")

    The REIT has a DRIP whereby eligible Canadian unitholders may elect to
    have their distributions of income from the REIT automatically reinvested
    in additional units. Unitholders who so elect will receive a further
    bonus distribution of units equal in value to 3% of each distribution
    that was reinvested.

    All of the convertible debentures have been included in the three months
    ended September 30, 2008 and the three months ended September 30, 2007
    per unit calculations above, but have been excluded in the nine months
    ended September 30, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007
    calculations because the impact of the conversions would not be dilutive.
    The dilutive effect of the executive compensation plan has been included
    in all of the calculations.

    17. Distributions to Unitholders

    Distributions to unitholders are computed based on distributable income
    as defined by the Declaration of Trust (Note 12).

    Distributable income is a measure of cash flow that is not defined under
    Canadian GAAP and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures
    used by other entities. Distributable income per unit has been calculated
    on a basis consistent with that prescribed by Canadian GAAP for
    calculating earnings per unit.

    Distributable income is defined as net income in accordance with Canadian
    GAAP, subject to certain adjustments as set out in the Declaration of
    Trust, including adding back depreciation and amortization, amortization
    of fair value debt adjustment and future income tax (recovery) expense,
    excluding any gains or losses on the disposition of real property and
    future income taxes, deducting the amount calculated, at 4% of hotel
    revenues, for the reserve for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and
    equipment and capital improvements, the accretion on convertible
    debentures that is included in the computation of net income, and making
    any other adjustments determined by the trustees of the REIT in their
    discretion. As outlined in the Declaration of Trust, the REIT is required
    to distribute monthly to unitholders not less than one-twelfth of eighty
    percent (80%) of distributable income of the REIT for the calendar year.
    However given the seasonality of operations the REIT typically
    distributes less than 80% of its distributable income during the second
    and third quarters.

    18. Management Agreements

    Westmont Hospitality Canada Limited

    On July 26, 2002, the REIT entered into a Management Agreement for hotel
    management and accounting services and an Administrative Services
    Agreement (the "Agreements") with Westmont Hospitality Management Canada
    Limited ("Westmont"). Westmont is considered a related party to the REIT
    as a result of its ability to exercise significant influence through the
    Agreements. Westmont manages all but fifteen of the REIT's hotels.

    The Agreements have an initial term of 10 years with two successive
    five-year renewal terms, subject to the consent of Westmont and approval
    of the REIT. On September 15, 2008, the REIT exercised the first
    five-year extension term on the Agreements, extending the expiration to
    July 25, 2017. The REIT's independent trustees approved the extension
    following a review by third party hospitality consulting firms in Canada.
    The Agreements provide for the payment of an annual management fee to
    Westmont in an amount equal to 3.375% of gross revenues during the term
    of the Agreements, including renewal periods. In addition, Westmont may
    receive an annual incentive fee if the REIT achieves distributable income
    (see Note 17) in excess of $1.25 per unit. No management incentive fees
    were paid during the periods presented. Accounting fees are calculated
    based on a fixed charge per room which increases by the Consumer Price
    Index change annually.

    In addition to the base management fee and incentive fee, Westmont is
    entitled to reasonable fees based on a percentage of the cost of
    purchasing certain goods and supplies and certain construction costs and
    capital expenditures, fees for accounting services, reasonable
    out-of-pocket costs and expenses (other than general and administrative
    expenses or overhead costs except as otherwise provided in the
    Administrative Services Agreement) and project management and general
    contractor service fees related to hotel renovations managed by Westmont.

    Also, for certain hotels owned by InnVest and not managed by Westmont,
    Westmont is entitled to an asset management fee based on a fixed
    percentage of the purchase price of the hotel or a fixed percentage of
    Hotel operating income, subject to an annual minimum fee.

    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the
    fees charged to the REIT pursuant to the Agreements were as follows:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, salaries of REIT employees paid by Westmont and reimbursed
    by the REIT were $132 (September 30, 2007 - $159). Included in accounts
    payable and accrued liabilities are amounts owed to Westmont at
    September 30, 2008 totalling $1,812 (December 31, 2007 - $1,137).

    Other Management Agreements

    The REIT entered into management agreements with Hilton Canada Co.
    ("Hilton") to manage the two Hilton hotels acquired in 2006. The
    agreements provide for the payment of an annual management fee to Hilton
    in an amount equal to 2.5% until September 30, 2008 and then 3.0% of
    gross revenues during the balance of the term of the agreements. The
    agreements mature on December 31, 2026. For the nine months ended
    September 30, 2008, total management fees paid to Hilton were $858
    (September 30, 2007 - $595).

    The REIT assumed the hotel management agreements with Delta Hotels
    Limited ("Delta"), dated January 1, 2003 when two Delta hotels were
    purchased in 2006. The agreements provide for the payment of an annual
    management fee to Delta in an amount equal to 3% of total revenues from
    the hotel, plus 0.5% of total revenues from the hotel if the hotel's
    annual gross operating profit is greater than the budgeted gross
    operating profit. The agreements mature on December 31, 2015, with two
    ten-year extension options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
    total management fees paid to Delta were $382 (September 30, 2007 -
    $475).

    With the acquisition of the Legacy Portfolio in September 2007, InnVest
    assumed the existing hotel management agreements with Fairmont Hotel and
    Resorts ("Fairmont") or Delta for each of the Legacy Portfolio hotels.
    The agreements provide for the payment of a base management fee and an
    incentive management fee to either Fairmont or Delta. Legacy was also
    subject to a portfolio incentive fee on 11 of its 25 hotels, of which six
    are now owned or leased by InnVest. The base management fee is equal to
    3% of total revenues from the hotel for nine of the hotels and 2% of
    total revenues for the remaining two hotels. The agreements mature from
    December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2047. The incentive fees are calculated
    based on net operating income from hotel operations plus amortization
    less the capital replacement reserve, in excess of a threshold. For the
    nine months ended September 30, 2008, total management fees paid for the
    Legacy Portfolio were $8,338 (for the 13 day period from September 18 to
    September 30, 2007 - $598).

    On March 30, 2007, the REIT sold a hotel held for sale in Atlantic Canada
    for $2,350 less closing costs of $250, and recorded a gain of $659. On
    April 10, 2007, an Ontario asset held for sale was sold for $4,650 less
    closing costs of $350, and the REIT recorded a gain of $174. The debt
    owing of $1,010 and $1,181 respectively was paid out of the proceeds.
    Both these hotels had been reclassified to assets held for sale in 2006.

    In addition to the operations of these hotels, the results of
    discontinued operations are comprised of three Ontario hotel properties
    and one Quebec hotel property reclassified as assets held for sale on
    December 18, 2007.

    During August 2008 the REIT sold two hotel properties reclassified to
    assets held for sale on December 18, 2007. One of the Ontario hotel
    properties was sold on August 21, 2008 for $6,700 less closing costs of
    $421 resulting in a gain of $622. The Quebec hotel property was sold on
    August 26, 2008 for $6,200 less closing costs of $469 resulting in a gain
    of $638. The debt owing of $890 and $2,174 respectively was paid out of
    the proceeds.
