Consolidated net operating income increased by $32.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, to $73.5 million, compared to $41.3 million in 2012. The increase was predominantly due to the U.S. acquisitions (24 properties acquired during the current year and three properties acquired during the third quarter of 2012), which increased NOI by US$31.0 million in 2013 and the change in the U.S. foreign exchange rate which increased NOI by $1.3 million. The changes in the Canadian properties and for the remaining U.S. properties were not significant.

FFO increased by $14.9 million in during the year ended December 31, 2013, to $34.7 million ($0.77 per unit) compared to $19.7 million ($0.64 per unit) in 2012. The increase in FFO is mainly attributable to the U.S. acquisitions which had a positive impact on NOI of US$31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and a decrease in current income taxes of $0.8 million.  These items were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $13.9 million, due to the mortgages on the U.S. acquisitions and the convertible debentures issued during the first quarter of 2013, and an increase in trust expenses of $4.1 million, predominantly due to an increase in asset management fees on the acquisitions completed in 2013, an increase in professional fees for audit, tax and appraisal services and the asset management incentive distribution fee relating to the REIT exceeding the annual FFO threshold of $0.66 per unit. The change in foreign exchange rates had a positive impact on FFO of $0.7 million.
