Portfolio Manager
o  In early 2014 Dream acquired the right to manage four
funds that had diﬃculties meeting their investment and
liquidity objectives and were facing many structural issues
o  We restructured and launched the funds as Dream
Alternatives Trust (“DAT”) on July 8, 2014 with
$1 billion in gross assets
DAT is structured so that it
has tremendous flexibility
which allows us to be
opportunistic in our
investment decisions

All of our renewable power projects have a 20 year
purchase agreement with the government or a
regulated utility to sell electricity at a fixed
contract rate above market rate, providing stable
and predictable cash flows to the Trust
As both a landlord and a solar power investor, DAT is well positioned
in the Ontario rooftop solar space to develop new commercial
partnerships as well as develop solar projects on existing properties.

Dream Alternatives Trust – Non-IFRS Measures & Forward Looking Information
Forward Looking Information
This presentation may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation including but not limited to the acquisition of our expected return
on our future renewable power projects and the timing of commencement and completion of our retail and residential development projects. Forward-looking information is based
on a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Trust’s control, which could cause actual results to diﬀer
materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to general and local economic
and business conditions, employment levels, mortgage and interest rates and regulations, regulatory risks, environmental risks, consumer confidence, the financial condition of
tenants and borrowers, local real estate conditions, adverse weather conditions and variability in wind conditions and solar irradiation, reliance on key clients, partners and
personnel, the uncertainties of acquisitions and new projects, inflation and competition. All forward looking information in this presentation speaks as of May 12, 2015. The Trust
does not undertake to update any such forward looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information about these
assumptions and risks and uncertainties is disclosed in filings with securities regulators filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). These filings are also available at the Trust’s website at
www.dreamalternatives.ca.
Non-IFRS Measures
The Trust’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). In this presentation, as a complement to
results provided in accordance with IFRS, the Trust discloses and discusses certain non-IFRS financial measures including adjusted funds available for distribution (“AFAD”),
annualized AFAD, debt-to-gross book value, adjusted net asset value per unit, and yield, as well as other measures discussed elsewhere in this release. These non-IFRS measure are
not defined by IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. The Trust has presented such non-IFRS
measures as Management believes they are relevant measures of our underlying operating performance and debt management. Non-IFRS measures should not be considered as
alternatives to net income, total comprehensive income or cash flows generated from operating activities or comparable metrics determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators
of the Trust’s performance, liquidity, cash flow and profitability. For a full description of these measures and where applicable a reconciliation to the most directly comparable
measure calculated in accordance with IFRS please refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” in the Trust’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended March 31, 2015.
