Normalized net  operating  income  increased  by  $16.8 million  during  the  year  ended  December 31, 2014, to $90.2 million, compared to $73.5 million in 2013.  The increase was due to the U.S. acquisitions, which increased NOI by US$12.4 million in 2014, an increase of US$1.2 million in NOI for the remaining U.S. properties and the change in the U.S. foreign exchange rate which increased NOI by $3.9 million.  These items were partially offset by a decrease in NOI for the Canadian properties of $0.7 million.

The increase is mainly due an increase in normalized NOI of $16.8 million and increase in other income of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $5.2 million and an increase in trust expenses of $2.3 million.  The change in foreign exchange rates had a positive impact on FFO of $2.3 million.
