Dear

Canada Office Properties (“BOX”) (TSX: BOX.UN, NYSE: BOXC), our first full year operating as a real estate investment
trust (REIT). In addition to another year of solid operating and financial results, we executed a major transaction in the latter
part of the year, acquiring a 25% interest in nine office buildings, including the prestigious First Canadian Place in Toronto,
and six properties in a new market, our nation’s capital, Ottawa.



Our newest properties are:







TORONTO





First Canadian Place

151 Yonge St.

Today, we are invested in 28 office properties
totaling 20.7 million square feet across Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver. We truly believe that Brookfield Canada Office
Properties provides the best option for those wishing to invest in the most prestigious office properties around the country.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE





Funds From Operations (FFO) was $127.0 million
in 2011, a 7% increase from the 2010 total of $119.2 million. Commercial property net operating income likewise increased by 7%
year-over-year, from $219.5 million in 2010 to $234.6 million in 2011.



Net income, which under IFRS measures changes in the fair
values of an entity’s assets, increased to $355.4 million, up 8% from the 2010 total of $329 million.





LEASING





BOX achieved a full-year leasing total of
2.9 million square feet and our occupancy rate finished the year at 96.2%. On a same-property basis, excluding the acquisition
of the Canadian Office Fund assets, occupancy increased to 97.7%, up 60 basis points from year-end 2010. This rate compares favourably
with the Canadian national average of 92.7%.



In addition, BOX reduced its same-property
2012 lease-expiry exposure by 4.1% to 2.0% and reduced its lease-expiry exposure through 2015 by 19%, ensuring stability of future
cash flows.



This strong performance is attributable to both
our proactive leasing efforts as well as solid commercial real estate fundamentals in our core operating markets.



Leasing highlights for 2011 include:

| | · | A 10-year renewal with Talisman Energy for 527,000 square feet at
Bankers Hall, Calgary.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | An average 14-year renewal and expansion with Enbridge
Inc. for 300,000 square feet at Fifth Avenue Place, Calgary.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | A three-year renewal and expansion with the Department
of Justice for 204,000 square feet at Exchange Tower, Toronto.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | An average 17-year renewal and expansion with Suncor
Energy Inc. for 196,000 square feet at Suncor Energy Centre, Calgary.

| | · | A 15-year renewal with Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt for 191,000 square
feet at First Canadian Place, Toronto.

at 105 Adelaide St.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | An average seven-year renewal and expansion with Citco
Inc. for 116,000 square feet at Hudson’s Bay Centre.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

















CAPITAL INITIATIVES





Taking advantage of the attractive interest-rate
environment, we executed several capital initiatives of note during 2011, including:





| | · | New financing on Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower for $405 million.
The financing holds a 10-year term at a fixed rate of 4.426%. The new loan was used to repay the existing construction financing.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Refinancing of Fifth Avenue Place in Calgary with 10-year first mortgage
bonds totaling $350 million (BOX’s share: $175 million) generating net proceeds of $109 million. The bonds were given an
‘A’ rating by DBRS and bear interest at 4.71% per annum.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Refinancing of Queen’s Quay Terminal in Toronto for $90 million,
generating net proceeds of $58 million. The new loan has a 10-year term maturing April 1, 2021, and bears interest at 5.40% per
annum.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · | Increasing BOX’s liquidity by securing a new $125 million corporate
credit facility, which was subsequently upsized to $200 million following year-end.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The proceeds of these financing initiatives
were used to acquire the 25% interest in the nine office properties mentioned earlier in this letter, which at the time of the
transaction had a total asset value of $362 million.



SUSTAINABILITY





We continue the comprehensive greening
of our office portfolio in an effort to curtail energy use and carbon emissions, and lower operating costs. Our newest trophy building
– First Canadian Place – is in the final stages of a recladding and renovation project that will make it one of most
environmentally responsible office buildings in the country.



In 2012, BOX anticipates achieving LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification at the following properties:



| | · | Brookfield Place, Toronto: LEED EB:OM Gold
| | - | ------------------------------------------

| | · | Exchange Tower, Toronto: LEED EB:OM Gold
| | - | ----------------------------------------

| | · | HSBC Building, Toronto: LEED EB:OM Gold

LEADERSHIP





In June, Tom Farley
stepped down as BOX’s Chief Executive Officer to take on a global asset management role with the Trust’s majority
shareholder, Brookfield Office Properties (TSX, NYSE: BPO). Tom remains on the BOX leadership team as Chairman of the Board of
Trustees. At that time, I was appointedChief Executive Officer of BOX, and I’m pleased to pen this letter to you personally
for the first time. I also took a seat on the Board as we expanded to a group of seven Trustees.

We also were happy
to welcome back Bryan Davis as Chief Financial Officer, replacing Rael Diamond, who was appointed to that same role with a Brookfield
affiliate.

TRADING ON NYSE





Subsequent to the end of the year, BOX
units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the stock symbol “BOXC.” We feel that listing on the
NYSE will open up the opportunity to a wider range of investors looking to invest in the best commercial office properties in Canada.



NAME CHANGE





Also subsequent to year-end, we officially changed
the name of the REIT to “Brookfield Canada Office Properties.” The reasoning behind the change is to limit confusion
with the parent company (Brookfield Office Properties Inc.) and to further emphasize BOX’s purely Canada-focused operating
strategy.



2012 OUTLOOK & PRIORITIES





The outlook for 2012 is encouraging as BOX
moves forward as Brookfield’s pure-play Canadian office property vehicle. Fundamentals remain strong in our core markets,
allowing us to sustain cash flows and high occupancy rates backed by long-term leases.

We will continue to seek lease renewals
ahead of expiries, and maintain our financial flexibility through various initiatives in the capital markets.



On behalf of our employees and the Board
of Trustees, I thank you for your continued support.



Sincerely,







Jan Sucharda



Chief Executive Officer



March 7, 2012

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Results

March 5, 2012



PART I – OBJECTIVES AND FINANCIAL
HIGHLIGHTS



BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Financial data included in this Management’s
Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2011, includes material information up to March
5, 2012. Financial data provided has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). All dollar references, unless otherwise stated,
are in millions of Canadian dollars except per unit amounts. Amounts in U.S. dollars are identified as “US$.”



Brookfield Canada Office Properties (“BOX”
or the “Trust”) was formed in connection with the reorganization of BPO Properties Ltd. (“BPP”) on May
1, 2010, in which BPP’s directly owned office assets were transferred to the Trust. In connection with the reorganization,
the Trust also acquired the interests of Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO” or “Brookfield Office Properties”)
in Brookfield Place, which includes Bay Wellington Tower and partial interests in the retail concourse and parking operations.



The following discussion and analysis
is intended to provide readers with an assessment of the performance of BOX over the past two years as well as our financial position
and future prospects. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and appended notes, which begin
on page 32 of this report. In our discussion of operating performance, we refer to commercial property net operating income, funds
from operations, and adjusted funds from operations on a total and per-unit basis. We define commercial property net operating
income as income from commercial property operations after direct property operating expenses, including property administration
costs have been deducted but prior to deducting interest expense, general and administrative expenses, and fair value gains (losses).
We define funds from operations as net income prior to one-time transaction costs, fair value gains (losses), and certain other
non-cash items, if any. Adjusted funds from operations is defined as funds from operations net of normalized second-generation
leasing commissions and tenant improvements, normalized sustaining capital expenditures, and straight-line rental income. Commercial
property net operating income is an important measure that we use to assess operating performance of our commercial properties,
and funds from operations is a widely used measure in analyzing real estate. Adjusted funds from operations is a measure used to
assess an entity’s ability to pay distributions. We provide the components of commercial property net operating income on
page 17, a reconciliation of net income to funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations on page 20, and a reconciliation
of cash generated from operating activities to adjusted funds from operations on page 20. Commercial property net operating income,
funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore
may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.



Additional information, including our Annual
Information Form, is available on our Web site at www.brookfieldcanadareit.com
or at www.sedar.com.



OVERVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

The Trust invests and operates commercial
office properties in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver.



At December 31, 2011, the fair value of BOX’s
total assets was $4,698.1 million. During 2011, we generated $355.4 million of net income ($3.81 per unit), $127.0 million of funds
from operations ($1.36 per unit), and $95.4 million of adjusted funds from operations ($1.02 per unit).

COMMERCIAL-PROPERTY OPERATIONS

Our strategy is to own premier properties
in dynamic and supply-constrained markets with high barriers to entry, creating one of Canada’s most distinguished portfolios
of office properties. Our commercial-property portfolio consists of interests in 28 properties totaling 20.7 million square feet,
including 4.0 million square feet of parking. Our markets are the financial, government and energy sectors in the cities of Toronto,
Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver. Our strategy is concentrating operations within a select number of Canadian gateway cities with
attractive tenant bases in order to maintain a meaningful presence and build on the strength of our tenant relationships within
these markets.



We remain focused on the following strategic
priorities:



| | · | Realizing value from our investment properties through proactive leasing initiatives;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Prudent capital management, including the refinancing of mature investment properties; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · | Acquiring high-quality investment properties in our primary markets for value when opportunities
arise.

Excludes working capital.



On December 1, 2011, we acquired from
our parent company, BPP, a 25% interest in nine office assets from its Canadian Office Fund portfolio totaling 6.5 million square
feet in Toronto and Ottawa (the “Acquired Assets” or the “Acquisition”). The purchase price of $362.1 million
was based on the fair values of the Acquired Assets as at December 1, 2011, which were valued by management and supported by valuations
prepared by qualified external valuation professionals. The Acquisition was funded through existing liquidity and assumption of
debt of $140.0 million.



An important characteristic of our portfolio
is the strong credit quality of our tenants. We direct special attention to credit quality, particularly in the current economic
environment, in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of rental revenues through economic cycles. Major tenants with over
500,000 square feet of space in the portfolio include government and related agencies, Suncor Energy Inc., Bank of Montreal, Imperial
Oil and Talisman Energy. A detailed list of major tenants is included in Part III (“Risks and Uncertainties”) of this
MD&A, beginning on page 22.





|5 | 2011 Annual Report
|- | ------------------











Our strategy is to sign long-term leases
in order to mitigate risk and reduce our overall re-tenanting costs. We typically commence discussions with tenants regarding their
space requirements well in advance of the contractual expiration, and although each market is different, the majority of our leases,
when signed, extend between five and 10-year terms. As a result of this strategy, approximately 6.3% of our leases, on average,
mature annually up to 2015.



Our average lease term is nine years. The following
is a breakdown of lease maturities by region with associated in-place rental rates:

Although we monitor and analyze our
financial performance using a number of indicators, our primary business objective of generating reliable and growing cash flow
is monitored and analyzed using net income, commercial property net operating income, funds from operations, and adjusted funds
from operations. Although net income is calculated in accordance with IFRS, commercial property net operating income, funds from
operations, and adjusted funds from operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely
to be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. We provide the components of commercial property net operating
income and a full reconciliation of net income to funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations beginning on page 17
of this MD&A.



Commercial property net operating
income

Commercial property net operating income
is defined as income from commercial property operations after direct property operating expenses, including property administration
costs have been deducted but prior to deducting interest expense, general and administrative expenses, and fair value gains (losses).
Commercial property net operating income is used as a key indicator of performance, as it represents a measure over which management
of our commercial property operations has control.



Funds from Operations

We define funds from operations as
net income prior to one-time transaction costs, fair value gains (losses), and certain other non-cash items, if any. Funds from
operations does not represent or approximate cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS. We provide
a reconciliation of net income to funds from operations on page 20.



Adjusted Funds from Operations

Adjusted funds from operations is defined
as funds from operations net of normalized second-generation leasing commissions and tenant improvements, normalized sustaining
capital expenditures, and straight-line rental income. Adjusted funds from operations is a widely used measure used to assess
an entity’s ability to pay distributions. We provide a reconciliation of funds from operations to adjusted funds from operations
on page 20. We also provide a reconciliation of cash generated from operating activities to adjusted funds from operations on
page 20.



Net Income

Net income is calculated in accordance
with IFRS. Net income is used as a key indicator in assessing the profitability of the Trust.



Although we believe funds from operations
is a widely used measure to analyze real estate, we believe that funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, commercial
property net operating income, and net income are all relevant measures.

The key valuation metrics for our investment
properties are as follows:



|               |  | December 31, 2011 |     |  | December 31, 2010 | 
|-------------- |  | ----------------- | --- |  | ----------------- |

|Western region |  |                   | 410 |  |                   | 
|Average        |  | $                 | 397 |  |                   | 



Values are most sensitive to changes
in discount rates and timing or variability of cash flows.



Upon the signing of the majority of
our leases, we provide a capital allowance for tenant improvements or tenant inducements for leased space in order to accommodate
the specific space requirements of the tenant. In addition to these allowances, leasing commissions are paid to third-party brokers
and Brookfield Properties Management Corporation. For the year ended December 31, 2011, such expenditures totaled $50.8 million
(compared to $38.9 million in 2010). The increase is primarily related to tenant installation costs incurred on the lease-up of
space at Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower, Suncor Energy Centre, Fifth Avenue Place, Bay Wellington Tower and Bankers Hall.



We also invest in ongoing maintenance
and capital improvement projects to sustain the high quality of the infrastructure and tenant service amenities in our properties.
Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $17.9 million (compared to $12.6 million in 2010). These expenditures
exclude repairs and maintenance costs. Fluctuations in our capital expenditures vary period over period based on required and
planned expenditures on our investment properties. Capital expenditures include non-sustaining capital expenditures, which represent
improvements to an asset or reconfiguration of space to increase rentable area or increase current rental rates, and sustaining
expenditures, which are those required in order to maintain the properties in their current operating state and exclude projects
that are considered to add productive capacity. For the year ended December 31, 2011, non-sustaining capital expenditures primarily
consist of washroom upgrades and fire alarm system upgrades at various properties and the re-cladding project at First Canadian
Place. Capital expenditures are recoverable in some cases through contractual tenant cost-recovery payments. During the year ended
December 31, 2011, $10.6 million of our total capital expenditures were recoverable, compared with $7.3 million during the prior
year.

|- | ------------------











The following table summarizes the second-generation
leasing commissions, sustaining capital expenditures, and tenant improvements recorded on our investment properties during the
year ended December 31, 2011, as well as the normalized level of activities. The normalized activities are used in calculating
adjusted funds from operations and they are estimated based on historical spend levels as well as anticipated spend levels over
the next few years. Second-generation leasing commissions and tenant improvements vary with the timing of renewals, vacancies,
and tenant mix. These costs historically have been lower for renewals of existing tenants compared to new tenants. Refer to the
reconciliation of funds from operations to adjusted funds from operations on page 20.



For the year ended December 31, 2011, second-generation
leasing commissions and tenant improvements consisted primarily of leasing commissions incurred at Bay Wellington Tower, Exchange
Tower, 105 Adelaide St. West, Hudson’s Bay Centre, Bankers Hall, Suncor Energy Centre, Fifth Avenue Place, and Royal Centre,
and tenant improvements at Bankers Court and Suncor Energy Centre related to tenant build-outs.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND CORPORATE DEBT

Commercial property and corporate debt
(current and non-current) totaled $1,980.3 million at December 31, 2011 (compared to $1,591.8 million at December 31, 2010). Commercial
property and corporate debt at December 31, 2011 had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.5%. Debt on our investment properties
are mainly non-recourse, thereby reducing overall financial risk to the Trust.



We attempt to match the maturity of our commercial
property and corporate debt portfolio with the average lease term of our properties. At December 31, 2011, the average term to
maturity of our commercial property and corporate debt was five years, compared to our average lease term of nine years.



During the first quarter of 2011, we completed
the refinancing of Queen’s Quay Terminal in Toronto for $90.0 million, generating net proceeds of $58.0 million after repayment
of the previous mortgage. The new debt has a 10-year term maturing April 1, 2021, and bears interest at 5.40% per annum.



During the second quarter we established bilateral
agreements with five Canadian chartered banks for an aggregate revolving unsecured credit facility of $125.0 million with a three-year
term and one one-year extension option and bears interest at bankers’ acceptance plus 2%. As of December 31, 2011, the balance
drawn on these facilities was $120.0 million.



During the third quarter of 2011, we completed
the refinancing of Fifth Avenue Place in Calgary for $175.0 million, generating net proceeds of $109.0 million after repayment
of the previous mortgage. The new debt has a 10-year term maturing August 5, 2021, and bears interest at 4.71% per annum.



During the fourth quarter of 2011, the construction
financing on Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower in Toronto was repaid and replaced with permanent financing totaling $405.0 million.
The new loan has a 10-year term maturing December 21, 2021, and bears interest at 4.426% per annum.

CREDIT RATINGS

Our access to financing depends on, among
other things, suitable market conditions and the maintenance of suitable long-term credit ratings. Our credit ratings may be adversely
affected by various factors, including increased debt levels, decreased earnings, declines in customer demand, increased competition,
a further deterioration in general economic and business conditions and adverse publicity. Any downgrades in our credit ratings
may impede our access to capital markets or raise our borrowing rates.



We are currently rated by one credit rating
agency, Dominion Bond Rating Service Inc. (“DBRS”). We are committed to arranging our affairs to maintain this rating
and improve further over time.



Our credit rating at December 31, 2011, and
at the date of this report was:



|              |  |  | DBRS        | 
|------------- |  |  | ----------- | 
|Issuer Rating |  |  | BBB(stable) | 



Credit ratings are intended to provide investors
with an independent measure of the credit quality of an issue of securities. The credit rating presented is not a recommendation
to purchase, hold or sell our Trust Units, as such rating does not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular
investor. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for any given period or that any rating will not be revised
or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant.



CORPORATE GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENT OBLIGATIONS

We may be contingently liable with respect
to litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In addition, we may execute agreements that provide for
indemnifications and guarantees to third parties. Disclosure of commitments, guarantees, and contingencies can be found in Note
16 of the consolidated financial statements.



INCOME TAXES

The Trust is a “mutual fund trust”
pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Trust distributes or designates all taxable earnings to unitholders, and as
such, under current legislation, the obligation to pay tax rests with each unitholder. No current and deferred tax provisions
are required on the Trust’s income.



ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Accounts payable and other liabilities totaled
$106.9 million at December 31, 2011 (compared to $70.5 million at December 31, 2010). The increase is primarily related to the
Acquired Assets, the placement of semi-annual debt at Fifth Avenue Place during 2011, and timing of accrued liabilities.



A summary of the components of accounts payable
and other liabilities is as follows:



|(Millions)                               |  | Dec. 31, 2011 |       |  | Dec. 31, 2010 |

In November 2011, we renewed our normal course
issuer bid for our Trust Units for a further one-year period. During the twelve-month period commencing November 5, 2011, and
ending November 4, 2012, we may purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange up to 1,305,347 Trust Units, representing approximately
5% of our issued and outstanding Trust Units. A copy of the Notice of Intention relating to our normal course issuer bid may be
requested at no charge from the Trust. No Trust Units were repurchased by the Trust under this program for the year ended December
31, 2011.



Trust Units

Each Trust Unit is transferable and represents
an equal, undivided, beneficial interest in BOX and any distributions, whether of net income, net realized capital gains, or other
amounts, and in the event of the termination or winding-up of the Trust, in the Trust’s net assets remaining after satisfaction
of all liabilities. All Trust Units rank among themselves equally and ratably without discrimination, preference, or priority.
Each Trust Unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote at all meetings of unitholders or with respect to any written resolution
of unitholders. The Trust Units have no conversion, retraction, or redemption rights.



Special Voting Units

Special Voting Units are only issued in tandem
with Class B limited partnership units (“Class B LP Units”) of Brookfield Office Properties Canada LP (“BOPC
LP”) and are not transferable separately from the Class B LP Units to which they relate and upon any transfer
of Class B LP Units, such Special Voting Units will automatically be transferred to the transferee of the Class B
LP Units. As Class B LP Units are exchanged for Trust Units or purchased for cancellation, the corresponding Special
Voting Units will be cancelled for no consideration.



Each Special Voting Unit entitles the holder
thereof to one vote at all meetings of unitholders or with respect to any resolution in writing of unitholders. Except for the
right to attend and vote at meetings of the unitholders or with respect to written resolutions of the unitholders, Special Voting
Units do not confer upon the holders thereof any other rights. A Special Voting Unit does not entitle its holder to any economic
interest in BOX, or to any interest or share in BOX, or to any interest in any distributions (whether of net income, net realized
capital gains, or other amounts), or to any interest in any net assets in the event of termination or winding-up.



Non-Controlling interest

We classify the outstanding Class B LP Units
as non-controlling interest for financial statement purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Class B LP Units are exchangeable on
a one-for-one basis (subject to customary anti-dilution provisions) for Trust Units at the option of the holder. Each Class B
LP Unit is accompanied by a Special Voting Unit that entitles the holder thereof to receive notice of, to attend, and to vote
at all meetings of unitholders of BOX. The holders of Class B LP Units are entitled to receive distributions when declared by
BOPC LP equal to the per-unit amount of distributions payable to each holder of Trust Units. However, the Class B LP Units have
limited voting rights over BOPC LP.



The following tables present distributions
declared to Trust unitholders and non-controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

|Brookfield Canada Office
    Properties | 14
|--------------------------------------- | --











We determine annual distributions to unitholders
by looking at forward-looking cash flow information, including forecasts and budgets and the future business prospects of the
Trust. We do not consider periodic cash flow fluctuations resulting from items such as the timing of property operating costs,
property tax installments, or semi-annual debenture and mortgage payable interest payments in determining the level of distributions
to unitholders. To determine the level of cash distributions made to unitholders, we consider the impact of, among other items,
the future growth in the income-producing portfolio, future acquisitions, and leasing related to the income-producing portfolio.
Annual distributions to unitholders are expected to continue to be funded by cash flows generated from our portfolio.



CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

We employ a broad range of financing strategies
to facilitate growth and manage financial risk, with particular emphasis on the overall reduction of the weighted-average cost
of capital, in order to enhance returns for unitholders. Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are to:

| | • | fund recurring expenses;
| | - | ------------------------

| | • | meet debt service requirements;
| | - | -------------------------------

| | • | make distributions;
| | - | -------------------

| | • | fund those capital expenditures
                                                                    deemed mandatory, including tenant improvements; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | • | fund investing activities,
                                                                    which could include:
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | § | discretionary
                                                                                                               capital expenditures;
                                                                                                               and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | § | property
                                                                                                               acquisitions.

We believe that our liquidity needs will be
satisfied using cash on hand and cash flows generated from operating and financing activities. Rental revenue, recoveries from
tenants, interest and other income, available cash balances, draws on our credit facilities and refinancings (including upward
refinancings) of maturing indebtedness are our principal sources of capital used to pay operating expenses, distributions, debt
service, capital expenditures, and leasing costs in our commercial-property portfolio. We seek to increase income from our existing
properties by controlling operating expenses and by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy
rates and support increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover. We believe our revenue, along with proceeds from financing
activities, will continue to provide the necessary funds for our short-term liquidity needs and to fund anticipated ongoing distributions.
However, material changes in these factors may adversely affect our net cash flows.



Our principal liquidity needs for periods
beyond the next year are for scheduled debt maturities, unit distributions, and capital expenditures. We plan to meet these needs
with one or more of the following:



| | • | cash flow from operations;
                                                                    and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | • | refinancing opportunities.
| | - | --------------------------



Our commercial property and corporate debt
is primarily fixed-rate and non-recourse to the Trust. These investment-grade financings are typically structured on a loan-to-appraised-value
basis of between 55% and 65% as market conditions permit. In addition, in certain circumstances where a building is leased almost
exclusively to a high-credit-quality tenant, a higher loan-to-value financing, based on the tenant’s credit quality, is
put in place at rates commensurate with the cost of funds for the tenant. This reduces our equity requirements to finance commercial
property and enhances equity returns.



Most of our borrowings are in the form of
long-term property-specific financings with recourse only to the specific assets. Limiting recourse to specific assets ensures
that poor performance within one area does not compromise our ability to finance the balance of our operations. Our maturity schedule
is fairly diversified so that financing requirements in any given year are manageable.



Our focus on structuring financings with investment-grade
characteristics ensures that debt levels on any particular asset can typically be maintained throughout a business cycle. This
enables us to limit covenants and other performance requirements, thereby reducing the risk of early payment requirements or restrictions
on the distribution of cash from the assets being financed.



To help ensure we are able to react to investment
opportunities quickly and on a value basis, we attempt to maintain a high level of liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity
consist of cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we structure our affairs to facilitate monetization of longer-duration assets
through financings, co-investor participations, or refinancings.



At December 31, 2011, we had approximately
$40.5 million of liquidity consisting of $35.5 million of cash on hand, and $5.0 million of undrawn capacity on our credit facility.

Cost of Capital

We continually strive to reduce our
weighted-average cost of capital and improve unitholders’ equity returns through value-enhancement initiatives and the consistent
monitoring of the balance between debt and equity financing.



As of December 31, 2011, our weighted-average
cost of capital, assuming a 9.0% return on equity, was 7.4%. Our cost of capital is lower than many of our peers because of the
greater amount of investment-grade financing that can be placed on our assets, which is a function of the high-quality nature
of both the assets and the tenant base that composes our portfolio.



The following schedule details the capitalization
of the Trust and the related costs thereof:

REVENUE

Revenue from commercial properties includes
rental revenues earned from tenant leases, straight-line rent, percentage rent, and additional rent from the recovery of operating
costs and property taxes. Revenue from investment properties totaled $445.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 (compared
to $426.4 million in 2010). The increase is primarily due to the increase in occupancy at Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower and the
continued growth in same property revenues.



The components of revenue are as follows:

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY NET OPERATING INCOME

Our commercial property net operating income
for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $234.6 million (compared to $219.5 million in 2010). The increase is primarily due to
the increase in occupancy at Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower and the continued growth in same property commercial property net
operating income.

|17 | 2011 Annual Report
|-- | ------------------











Our strategy of owning premier properties
in high-growth, and in many instances supply-constrained markets with high barriers to entry, along with our focus on executing
long-term leases with strong credit-rated tenants, has created one of Canada’s most distinguished portfolios of office properties.
In the past, this strategy has reduced our exposure to the cyclical nature of the real estate business. In 2011, we continued
to reduce our lease expiry profile. We feel confident with our current rollover risk exposure and are focused on working toward
renewals on expiries in the upcoming months, as well as continuing to manage our rollover exposure in the future years.



Our leases generally have clauses that provide
for the collection of rental revenues in amounts that increase every five years, with these increases negotiated at the signing
of the lease. The large number of high-credit-quality tenants in our portfolio lowers the risk of not realizing these increases.
IFRS requires that these increases be recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. For the year ended December
31, 2011, we recognized $12.8 million of straight-line rental revenue (compared to $19.7 million in 2010). The decrease over the
prior year is primarily due to the expiry of free rent periods for the first generation tenants at Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower
in Toronto.



Commercial property operating costs, which
include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, cleaning, and other property-related expenses, were
$210.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 (compared to $206.9 million in 2010).



Substantially all of our leases are net leases,
in which the lessee is required to pay its proportionate share of the property’s operating expenses such as utilities, repairs,
insurance, and taxes. Consequently, leasing activity is the principal contributor to the change in same-property commercial property
net operating income. Our total portfolio occupancy rate on a same-property basis, excluding the Acquisition, increased to 97.7%,
up 60 basis points from year-end 2010. At December 31, 2011, average in-place net rent throughout the portfolio was $27 per square
foot, compared with an average market net rent of $30 per square foot.



The following table shows the average lease
term, in-place rents, and estimated current market rents for similar space in each of our markets as of December 31, 2011:

square feet and accelerated expiries of 2,350,000. The average leasing net rent was $32 per square foot, which is an increase
of 14.3% over the average expiring net rent of $28 per square foot.

Additionally, during the year ended December
31, 2011, tenant improvements and leasing costs related to leasing activity that occurred averaged $19.97 per square foot, compared
to $19.93 per square foot during 2010.



INVESTMENT AND OTHER INCOME

Investment and other income totaled $1.3 million
in 2011 (compared to $1.0 million in 2010). The amounts primarily include interest earned on cash balances.



INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense totaled $91.9 million in
2011 (compared to $86.2 million in 2010). The increase is due to the rise in the floating rate applicable to Bay Adelaide Centre
West Tower prior to the permanent financing arranged in December 2011, coupled with the permanent fixed rate financing placed
on Bankers Court during the fourth quarter of 2010 and the up-financings of Queen’s Quay Terminal during the first quarter
of 2011 and Fifth Avenue Place during the third quarter of 2011.



GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $17.0
million in 2011 (compared to $15.1 million in 2010). The increase is due to an increase in professional fees and asset management
fees during the year.



TRANSACTION COSTS

Transaction
costs were $0.9 millionin 2011 (compared to $4.9 million in 2010).
The decrease is due to professional fees incurred related to consulting and legal services in connection with the reorganization
of certain assets of BPP into BOX during 2010. Costs incurred during 2011 related to consulting and legal services in connection
with the Acquisition.



INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The Trust is a “mutual fund trust”
pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Trust distributes or designates all taxable earnings to unitholders, and as
such, under current legislation, the obligation to pay tax rests with each unitholder. No current and deferred tax provisions
are required on the Trust’s income.



FAIR VALUE GAINS

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the
Trust recognized fair value gains of $229.3 million (compared to $214.7 million in 2010). Fair value adjustments are determined
based on the movement of various parameters on a quarterly basis, including changes in projected cash flows as a result of leasing
and timing, discount rates, and terminal capitalization rates.

(1)As the components used in calculating adjusted funds from operations vary period to period, a normalized level of activity
is estimated based on historical spend levels as well as anticipated spend levels over the next few years. Sustaining capital
expenditures relate to capital items that are required to maintain the properties in their current operating state and exclude
projects that are considered to add productive capacity.

(2) Distributions are annualized.



Adjusted funds from operations is calculated
by adjusting funds from operations for straight-line rental income, normalized second-generation leasing commissions and tenant
improvements, and sustaining capital expenditures for maintaining the infrastructure and current rental revenues of our properties.
There is no standard industry defined measure of adjusted funds from operations; therefore, our methodology of calculating adjusted
funds from operations will differ from other entities and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities.

PART III – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES



BOX’s financial results are affected
by the performance of our operations and various external factors influencing the specific sectors and geographic locations in
which we operate, as well as macroeconomic factors such as economic growth, inflation, interest rates, regulatory requirements
and initiatives, and litigation and claims that arise in the normal course of business.



Our strategy is to invest in premier assets
that generate sustainable streams of cash flow. Although high-quality assets may initially generate lower returns on capital,
we believe that the sustainability and future growth of their cash flows is more assured over the long term and, as a result,
warrant higher valuation levels. We also believe that the high quality of our asset base protects the Trust against future uncertainty
and enables us to invest with confidence when opportunities arise.



The following is a review of the material
factors and the potential impact these factors may have on our business operations. A more detailed description of our business
environment and risks is contained in our Annual Information Form, which is posted on our web site at www.brookfieldcanadareit.comor at www.sedar.com.



PROPERTY-RELATED RISKS

Our strategy is to invest in high-quality
office properties as defined by the physical characteristics of the asset and, more important, the certainty of receiving rental
payments from large corporate tenants (with investment-grade credit ratings – see “Credit Risk” below) that
these properties attract. Nonetheless, we remain exposed to certain risks inherent in the core office-property business.



Commercial property investments are generally
subject to varying degrees of risk depending on the nature of the property. These risks include changes in general economic conditions
(such as the availability and costs of mortgage funds), local conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand
for real estate in the markets in which we operate), the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other landlords
with competitive space, and our ability to provide adequate maintenance at an economical cost.



Certain significant expenditures, including
property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs, and related charges, must be made regardless of whether
a property is producing sufficient income to service these expenses. Our office properties are subject to mortgages that require
substantial debt service payments. If we become unable or unwilling to meet mortgage payments on any property, losses could be
sustained as a result of the mortgagee’s exercise of its rights of foreclosure or of sale. We believe the stability and
long-term nature of our contractual revenues effectively mitigates these risks.



As owners of premier office properties, lease
rollovers also present a risk, as continued growth of rental income is dependent on strong leasing markets to ensure expiring
leases are renewed and new tenants are found promptly to fill vacancies. Refer to “Lease Rollover Risk” on page 23
of this MD&A for further details.



INTEREST RATE AND FINANCING RISK

We attempt to stagger the maturities of our
mortgage portfolio evenly over a 10-year time horizon. We believe that this strategy will most effectively manage interest rate
risk.



As outlined under “Capital Resources
and Liquidity,” on page 15 of this MD&A, we have an ongoing need to access debt markets to refinance maturing debt as
it comes due. There is a risk that lenders will not refinance such maturing debt on terms and conditions acceptable to us or on
any terms at all. Our strategy to stagger the maturities of our mortgage portfolio attempts to mitigate our exposure to excessive
amounts of debt maturing in any one year.



Approximately 6.0% of our outstanding commercial
property and corporate debt at December 31, 2011 is floating-rate debt (December 31, 2010 – 25.3%) and subject to fluctuations
in interest rates. The effect of a 100-basis point increase in interest rates on interest expense relating to our floating-rate
debt, all else being equal, is an increase in interest expense of $1.2 million on an annual basis or approximately $0.01 per unit.
In addition, there is interest rate risk associated with the Trust’s fixed rate debt due to the expected requirement to
refinance such debts in the year of maturity. The effect of a 100 basis-point increase in interest rates on interest expense relating
to fixed rate debt maturing within one year, all else being equal, is an increase in interest expense of $2.0 million on an annual
basis or approximately $0.02 per unit.



The analysis does not reflect the impact a
changing interest rate environment could have on our overall performance and, as a result, it does not reflect the actions management
may take in such an environment.



We currently have a level of indebtedness
for the Trust of 42.7% of the fair market value of our investment properties based on December 31, 2011 investment property valuations.
This level of indebtedness is considered by the Trust to be conservative and, based on this, the Trust believes that all debts
will be financed or refinanced as they come due in the foreseeable future.

|----------------------------------- | --















CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from the possibility that
tenants may be unable to fulfill their lease commitments. We mitigate this risk by ensuring that our tenant mix is diversified
and by limiting our exposure to any one tenant. We also maintain a portfolio that is diversified by property type so that exposure
to a business sector is lessened. Currently, no single tenant represents more than 13.8% of total leasable area and 4.2% of commercial
property revenue.

We attempt to mitigate our credit risk by
signing long-term leases with tenants who have investment-grade credit ratings.



The following list shows our top 20 largest
tenants by leasable area in our portfolio and their respective lease commitments:

LEASE ROLLOVER RISK

Lease roll-over risk arises from the possibility
that we may experience difficulty renewing leases as they expire or in re-leasing space vacated by tenants upon early lease expiry.
We attempt to stagger our lease-expiry profile so that we are not faced with disproportionate amounts of space expiring in any
one year. Approximately 6.3% of our leases mature annually up to 2015. Our portfolio has a weighted-average lease life of nine
years. We further mitigate this risk by maintaining a diversified portfolio mix by geographic location and by proactively leasing
space in advance of its contractual expiry.



The following table sets out lease expiries,

ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

As an owner of real property, we are subject
to various federal, provincial, and municipal laws relating to environmental matters. Such laws provide that we could be liable
for the costs of removing certain hazardous substances and remediating certain hazardous locations. The failure to remove or remediate
such substances or locations, if any, could adversely affect our ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real
estate as collateral and could potentially result in claims against us. We are not aware of any material non-compliance with environmental
laws at any of our properties nor are we aware of any pending or threatened investigations or actions by environmental regulatory
authorities in connection with any of our properties or any pending or threatened claims relating to environmental conditions
at our properties.





|23 | 2011 Annual Report
|-- | ------------------













We will continue to make the necessary capital
and operating expenditures to ensure that we are compliant with environmental laws and regulations. Although there can be no assurances,
we do not believe that costs relating to environmental matters will have a material effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations. However, environmental laws and regulations can change and we may become subject to more stringent environmental
laws and regulations in the future, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.



OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Real estate is relatively illiquid. Such illiquidity
may limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. Also, financial
difficulties of other property owners resulting in distressed sales could depress real estate values in the markets in which we
operate.



Our investment properties generate a relatively
stable source of income from contractual tenant rent payments. Continued growth of rental income is dependent on strong leasing
markets to ensure expiring leases are renewed and new tenants are found promptly to fill vacancies.



We are substantially protected against short-term
market conditions, as most of our leases are long-term in nature with an average term of nine years.



INSURANCE RISKS

The Trust maintains insurance on its properties.
The Trust maintains all-risk property insurance and rental-value coverage (including coverage for the perils of flood, earthquakes,
and windstorms). The Trust’s all-risk policy limit is $1.5 billion per occurrence. The Trust’s earthquake limit is
$500.0 million per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, and it is subject to a $100,000 (dollars) deductible for all locations
except British Columbia, where the deductible is 3% of the values for all locations where the physical loss, damage, or destruction
occurred. The flood limit is $500.0 million per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, and is subject to a deductible of $25,000
(dollars) combined for all losses arising from the same occurrence. Windstorm is included under the all-risk coverage and has
$1.5 billion limits per occurrence with a $10,000 (dollars) deductible.



The Trust has insurance covering certain acts
of terrorism for up to $1.0 billion of damage and resulting business-interruption costs. The Trust continues to seek additional
coverage equal to the full replacement cost of its assets; however, until this type of coverage becomes commercially available
on an economically reasonable basis, any damage or business-interruption costs as a result of uninsured acts of terrorism could
result in a material cost to the Trust.



DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We utilize derivative financial instruments
from time to time, primarily to manage financial risks, including interest rate, commodity, and foreign-exchange risks. Hedge
accounting is applied where the derivative is designated as a hedge of a specific exposure, and there is reasonable assurance
the hedge will be effective in offsetting an identified risk. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial
instruments designated as hedges of financial risks are included in income as an offset to the hedged item in the period the underlying
asset, liability, or anticipated transaction to which they relate arise.



Derivative financial instruments that are
not designated as hedges are carried at estimated fair values, and gains and losses arising from changes in fair values are recognized
in income as a component of interest and other income in the period the changes occur. The use of non-hedging derivative contracts
is governed by documented risk management policies and approved limits.



The primary risks associated with our use
of derivatives are credit risk and price risk. Credit risk is the risk that losses will be incurred from the default of the counterparty
on its contractual obligations. The use of derivative contracts is governed by documented risk-management policies and approved
limits, which includes an evaluation of the creditworthiness of counterparties, as well as managing the size, diversification,
and maturity of the portfolio. Price risk is the risk that we will incur losses from derivatives from adverse changes in foreign-exchange
rates and gas prices. We mitigate price risk by entering only into derivative transactions where we have determined a significant
offset exists between changes in the fair value of, or the cash flows attributable to, the hedged item and the hedging item.

PART IV – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AND ESTIMATES



CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Related Party Disclosures – Revised
Definition of Related Parties

On November 4, 2009, the IASB issued a revised
version of IAS 24, “Related Party Disclosures” . IAS 24 requires entities to disclose in their financial statements
information about transactions with related parties. Generally, two parties are related to each other if one party controls, or
significantly influences, the other party. IAS 24 has simplified the definition of a related party and removed certain of the
disclosures required by the predecessor standard. The revised standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January
1, 2011. The related party disclosures included in the Trust’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the revised standard.



Future
accounting policy changes

Financial instruments

IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”
is a multi-phase project to replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets.
In October 2010 the IASB reissued IFRS 9, incorporating new requirements on accounting for financial liabilities and carrying
over from IAS 39 the requirements for de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In December 2011, the IASB
issued “Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures”, which amended the effective date of IFRS 9
to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and modified the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated
disclosures in IFRS 7. Early adoption is permitted. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 to add new requirements for impairment of
financial assets measured at amortized cost and hedge accounting. On completion of these various phases, IFRS 9 will be a complete
replacement of IAS 39.



Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”
establishes principles for the preparation of financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. The standard
defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the financial
statements of the reporting entity. The standard also sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated
financial statements.



Joint Arrangements

IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”
replaces the existing IAS 31, “Interests in Joint Ventures”. IFRS 11 requires that an entity consider whether a joint
arrangement is structured through a separate vehicle, as well as the terms of the contractual arrangement and other relevant facts
and circumstances, to assess whether the venture is entitled to only the net assets of the joint arrangement (a “joint venture”)
or to its share of the assets and liabilities of the joint arrangement (a “joint operation”). Joint ventures are accounted
for using the equity method, whereas joint operations are accounted for using proportionate consolidation.



Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in
Other Entities” applies to entities that have an interest in a subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate or an unconsolidated
structured entity. The standard requires the reporting entity to disclose information that enables users of financial statements
to evaluate (i) the nature of, and risks associated with, the reporting entity’s interests in other entities and (ii) the
effects of those interests on the reporting entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.



Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement”
replaces the current guidance on fair value measurement in IFRS with a single standard. The standard defines fair value, provides
guidance on its determination and requires disclosures about fair value measurements but does not change the requirements about
the items that should be measured and disclosed at fair value.



Each of the above are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, except for IFRS 9 which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January
1, 2015. Earlier application is permitted for each standard. The Trust anticipates adopting each of the above in the first quarter
of the year for which the standard is applicable and is currently evaluating the impact of each to its consolidated financial
statements.





|25 | 2011 Annual Report
|-- | ------------------













critical
accounting policies

Our critical accounting policies are
those that we believe are the most important in portraying our financial condition and results of operations, and require the
most subjective judgment and estimates on the part of management.



Investment Properties

Investment properties include commercial
properties held to earn rental income. Commercial properties are recorded at fair value, determined based on available market
evidence, at the balance sheet date. We determine the fair value of each investment property based upon, among other things, rental
income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the balance
sheet date, less future cash flows in respect of such leases. Fair values are primarily determined by discounting the expected
future cash flows, generally over a weighted-average term of 11 years, including a terminal value based on the application of
a capitalization rate to estimated year 12 cash flows.



Tax

The
Trust is a “mutual fund trust” pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Trust distributes or designates
all taxable earnings to unitholders, and as such, under current legislation, the obligation to pay tax rests with each unitholder.
Deferred income taxes are not recognized in the Trust’s financial statements on the basis that the Trust can deduct distributions
paid such that its liability for income taxes is substantially reduced or eliminated for the year, and the Trust intends to continue
to distribute its taxable income and continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for the foreseeable future.



Revenue Recognition

We
account for our leases with tenants as operating leases as we have retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership
of our investment properties. Revenue recognition under a lease commences when the tenant has a right to use the leased asset.
Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date or, where we are required to make additions to the property in the form
of tenant improvements that enhance the value of the property, upon substantial completion of those improvements. The total amount
of contractual rent to be received from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease; a
straight-line rent or free-rent receivable, which is included in the carrying amount of investment property, is recorded for the
difference between the rental revenue recorded and the contractual amount received. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded,
if necessary, for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments. The computation of
this allowance is based on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status as well as certain industry-specific or
geography-specific credit considerations. We also make judgments with respect to whether tenant improvements provided in connection
with a lease enhance the value of the leased property, which determines whether such amounts are treated as additions to investment
property as well as the point in time at which revenue recognition under the lease commences. In addition, where a lease allows
a tenant to elect to take all or a portion of any unused tenant improvement allowance as a rent abatement, we must exercise judgment
in determining the extent to which the allowance represents an inducement that is amortized as a reduction of lease revenue over
the term of the lease.



Rental revenue also
includes percentage participating rents and recoveries of operating expenses, including property taxes. Percentage participating
rents are recognized when tenants’ specified sales targets have been met. Operating expense recoveries are recognized in
the period that recoverable costs are chargeable to tenants.





Financial Instruments

We classify our financial instruments
into categories based on the purpose for which the instrument was acquired or issued, its characteristics, and our designation
of the instrument. The category into which we classify a financial instrument determines its measurement basis (e.g., fair value,
amortized cost) subsequent to initial recognition. We hold financial instruments that represent secured debt and equity interests
in commercial properties that are measured at fair value. Estimation of the fair value of these instruments is subject to the
estimates and assumptions associated with valuation of investment properties.



Fair value is the amount that willing parties
would accept to exchange a financial instrument based on the current market for instruments with the same risk, principal, and
remaining maturity. The fair value of interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities is determined by discounting the contractual
principal and interest payments at estimated current market interest rates for the instrument. Current market rates are determined
by reference to current benchmark rates for a similar term and current credit spreads for debt with similar terms and risk.



USE OF
ESTIMATES

The preparation of our annual financial
statements requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the annual financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of our ongoing evaluation of these estimates forms the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions.





|Brookfield Canada Office Properties | 26
|----------------------------------- | --













RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of operations, the Trust
enters into various transactions on market terms with related parties that have been measured at exchange value and are recognized
in the consolidated financial statements.



The Trust has entered into two service-support
agreements with Brookfield Properties Management Corporation (“BPMC”), a subsidiary of BPP, dated May 1, 2010, for
the provision of property management, leasing, construction, and asset management services. The purpose of the agreements is to
provide the services of certain personnel and consultants as are necessary to help the Trust operate and manage its assets and
tenant base; it also includes a cost-recovery for administrative and regulatory compliance services provided. The fees paid to
BPMC are calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Included in operating expenses during the year ended December
31, 2011, are amounts paid to BPMC for property management services of $12.4 million (compared to $11.7 million in 2010). Included
in investment properties during the year ended December 31, 2011, are amounts paid to BPMC for leasing and construction services
of $6.9 million (compared to $3.8 million in 2010). Included in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December
31, 2011, are amounts paid to BPMC for asset management and administrative and regulatory compliance services of $12.6 million
(compared to $11.5 million in 2010).



Included in rental revenues during the year
ended December 31, 2011, are amounts received from Brookfield Asset Management Inc., the ultimate parent of BPP, and its affiliates
of $2.4 million, which is consistent with the amount earned during 2010.

PART V – BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK



OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

Our 2011 performance was strong, with solid
financial results, three million square feet of total leasing and an acquisition of interests in the nine assets of the Canadian
Office Fund. As we see strong real estate fundamentals in our core markets including a new market, Ottawa, we are excited going
into 2012 to continue to operate as Canada’s pre-eminent office REIT.



disclosure
controls and procedures

Management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in the Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 52-109) as of December 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures as of December
31, 2011, are effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Trust would be made known
to us by others within those entities.



Internal
Controls over Financial Reporting

Management of the Trust is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and effected
by the Board of Trustees, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Management assessed both the design and operating effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established by the COSO control framework and National Instrument 52-109. Based on
this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2011, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting
is effective.



Due to its inherent limitations, internal
controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation
to the effectiveness of internal control over the financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



Management
took appropriate steps that enabled it to conclude that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, no changes were made to
internal controls over financial reporting that would have materially affected or would be reasonably considered to materially
affect these controls.

Management’s
Responsibility for the Financial Statements



The consolidated financial statements and management’s financial
analysis and review contained in this annual report are the responsibility of the management of the Trust. To fulfill this responsibility,
the Trust maintains a system of internal controls to ensure that its reporting practices and accounting and administrative procedures
are appropriate and provide assurance that relevant and reliable financial information is produced. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board and, where appropriate, reflect estimates based on management’s best judgment in the circumstances. The financial
information presented throughout this annual report is consistent with the information contained in the consolidated financial
statements.



Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent auditors appointed by
the unitholders, have audited the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards
to enable them to express to the Board of Trustees and unitholders their opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Their
report as independent auditors is set out on the following page.



The consolidated financial statements have been further examined
by the Board of Trustees and by its Audit Committee, which meets with the auditors and management to review the activities of
each and reports to the Board of Trustees. The auditors have direct and full access to the Audit Committee and meet with the committee
both with and without management present. The Board of Trustees, directly and through its Audit Committee, oversees management’s
responsibilities and is responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report



To the Board of Trustees and Unitholders of Brookfield Canada
Office Properties



We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of Brookfield Canada Office Properties (formerly, Brookfield Office Properties Canada) (the “Trust”), which comprise
the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.



Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements



Management is responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.



Auditor's
Responsibility



Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.



An audit
involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing on opinion or the effectiveness
of the Trust’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements.



We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.



Opinion



In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as at December
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements



NOTE 1: NATURE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST

Brookfield Canada Office Properties (the “Trust”
or “BOX”) is an unincorporated, closed-end real estate investment trust (“REIT”) established under and
governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and created pursuant to a declaration of trust dated March 19, 2010. Although it
is intended that BOX qualifies as a “mutual fund trust” pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada), BOX is not
a mutual fund under applicable securities laws.



The Trust is a subsidiary of BPO Properties
Ltd. (“BPP”), which owns an aggregate equity interest in the Trust of 83.3% as of December 31, 2011 consisting of 40.5%
of the issued and outstanding units of BOX (“Trust Units”) and 100% of the issued and outstanding Class B limited partnership
units (“Class B LP Units”) of Brookfield Office Properties Canada LP (“BOPC LP”), a subsidiary of BOX that
owns direct interests in the Trust’s investment properties. BOX primarily invests in and operates commercial office properties
in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver. The registered and operating office of the Trust is Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street,
Suite 330, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2T3.



The formation of the Trust involved the reorganization
of certain of BPP’s commercial office assets under BOX. In addition, BOX acquired Brookfield Office Properties Inc.’s
(“BPO”) interest in Brookfield Place, BPO’s flagship office complex in Toronto, which consists of Bay Wellington
Tower and a partial interest in the associated retail concourse and parking operations (the “Brookfield Place Interest”).
The transactions were effected pursuant to a plan of arrangement under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act
(the “Arrangement”). Prior to the Arrangement becoming effective, BPP and various other wholly-owned subsidiary entities
of BPP transferred directly owned office assets (the “Contributed Assets”) to BOPC LP in exchange for the assumption
of debt and the issuance of Trust Units and Class B LP Units. The purchase price for the Brookfield Place Interest was satisfied
by the payment of approximately $100.0 million in cash, the assumption of debt, and the issuance of Class B LP Units. Select assets
of BPP, including the Canadian Office Fund and certain development properties, as well as certain other assets that are not permitted
to be owned by BOX under rules governing REITs, were retained by BPP for consideration satisfied through the issuance of equity
in BOX.



Pursuant to the Arrangement, holders of BPP’s
common shares, other than BPO, received one Trust Unit for each common share held.



NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| | (a) | Statement of compliance
| | --- | -----------------------

The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).



| | (b) | Basis of presentation
| | --- | ---------------------

The financial statements are prepared on a
going concern basis and have been presented in Canadian dollars rounded to the nearest million. The transfer of the Contributed
Assets and the Brookfield Place Interest into the Trust represented a transaction between entities under common control. As such,
the carrying amounts of the Contributed Assets and the Brookfield Place Interest reflect those previously reported in the consolidated
financial statements of BPP and BPO.



| | (c) | Basis of consolidation
| | --- | ----------------------

The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries consisting of BOPC GP Inc. and BOPC LP, which are the entities over
which the Trust has control. Control exists when the Trust has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. The Trust holds all of the Class A Limited Partnership Units
of BOPC LP (“Class A LP Units”). The holders of the Class A LP Units are entitled to vote at all meetings of the partners
of BOPC LP. In addition, BOX is the sole shareholder of BOPC GP Inc., the general partner of BOPC LP, which has full power and
exclusive authority to administer, manage, control and operate the business and affairs of BOPC LP. Non-controlling interests in
the equity and results of the Trust are shown separately in equity on the consolidated balance sheets.



|Brookfield Canada Office Properties | 36
|----------------------------------- | --











| | (d) | Interests in joint ventures
| | --- | ---------------------------

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement
pursuant to which the Trust and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control whereby the strategic
financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties
sharing control.



The Trust undertakes its activities under joint
venture arrangements through direct interests in the joint venture’s assets, rather than through the establishment of a separate
entity. Accordingly, the Trust’s proportionate share of jointly controlled assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are
recognized in the consolidated financial statements and classified according to their nature.



| | (e) | Investment properties
| | --- | ---------------------

Investment properties
include commercial properties held to earn rental income. Commercial properties are recorded at fair value, determined based on
available market evidence, as at the consolidated balance sheet date. Related fair value gains and losses are recorded in net income
in the period in which they arise.



Initial direct leasing
costs incurred by the Trust in negotiating and arranging tenant leases are added to the carrying amount of investment properties.



| | (f) | Assets held for sale
| | --- | --------------------

Non-current assets
and groups of assets and liabilities that comprise disposal groups are categorized as assets held for sale where the asset or disposal
group is available for sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable. For this purpose, a sale is highly probable
if management is committed to a plan to achieve the sale, there is an active program to find a buyer, the non-current asset or
disposal group is being actively marketed at a reasonable price, the sale is anticipated to be completed within one year from the
date of classification, and it is unlikely there will be changes to the plan. Where an asset or disposal group is acquired with
a view to resale, it is classified as a non-current asset held for sale if the disposal is expected to take place within one year
of the acquisition and it is highly likely that the other conditions referred to above will be met within a short period following
the acquisition. Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are carried at the lesser of carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell. The profit or loss arising on re-classification or sale of a disposal group is recognized as discontinued operations.



| | (g) | Provisions
| | --- | ----------

A provision is a liability
of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized when the Trust has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result
of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures
expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Provisions are remeasured at each balance sheet date using the current discount
rate. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.



| | (h) | Revenue recognition
| | --- | -------------------

The Trust has retained substantially
all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its investment properties and therefore accounts for leases with its tenants as operating
leases. Revenue recognition under a lease commences when the tenant has a right to use the leased asset. Generally, this occurs
on the lease inception date or, where the Trust is required to make additions to the property in the form of tenant improvements
that enhance the value of the property, upon substantial completion of those improvements. The total amount of contractual rent
to be received from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease; a straight-line rent receivable,
which is included in the carrying amount of investment property, is recorded for the difference between the rental revenue recorded
and the contractual amount received.



Rental revenue also includes percentage
participating rents and recoveries of operating expenses, including property and capital taxes. Percentage participating rents
are recognized when tenants’ specified sales targets have been met. Operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period
that recoverable costs are chargeable to tenants.



| | (i) | Financial instruments and derivatives
| | --- | -------------------------------------

Derivative instruments are recorded on the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value, including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts
and that are not closely related to the host contract, and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments
are recognized in net income in the period the changes occur.



|37 | 2011 Annual Report
|-- | ------------------











The following summarizes the Trust’s
classification and measurement of financial instruments:



|Financial assets and liabilities       |  | Classification        |  | Measurement   
|-------------------------------------- |  | --------------------- |  | --------------
|Cash and cash equivalents              |  | Loans and receivables |  | Amortized cost
|Tenant receivables                     |  | Loans and receivables |  | Amortized cost
|Commercial property and corporate debt |  | Other liabilities     |  | Amortized cost
|Accounts payable and other liabilities |  | Other liabilities     |  | Amortized cost



| | (j) | Cash and cash equivalents
| | --- | -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.



| | (k) | Non-controlling interest
| | --- | ------------------------

Class B LP Units are classified as non-controlling
interest and are presented as a component of equity as they represent equity interests in BOPC LP not attributable, directly or
indirectly, to the Trust.



| | (l) | Income taxes
| | --- | ------------

The Trust is a “mutual fund trust”
pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Trust intends to distribute or designates all taxable earnings to unitholders
and, under current legislation, the obligation to pay tax rests with each unitholder. No current or deferred tax provision is recognized
in the Trust’s financial statements on the Trust’s income.



| | (m) | Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------

The following are the critical judgments that
have been made in applying the Trust’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the
consolidated financial statements:



| | (i) | Leases
| | --- | ------



| |  | The Trust’s policy for revenue recognition on investment properties is described in Note
2(h). In applying this policy, the Trust makes judgments with respect to whether tenant improvements provided in connection with
a lease enhance the value of the leased property, which determines whether such amounts are treated as additions to investment
property as well as the point in time at which revenue recognition under the lease commences. In addition, where a lease allows
a tenant to elect to take all or a portion of any unused tenant improvement allowance as a rent abatement, the Trust must exercise
judgment in determining the extent to which the allowance represents an inducement that is amortized as a reduction of lease revenue
over the term of the lease.
| |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The Trust also makes judgments in determining whether certain leases, in particular those tenant
leases with long contractual terms where the lessee is the sole tenant in a property and long-term ground leases where the Trust
is lessor, are operating or finance leases. The Trust has determined that all of its leases are operating leases.
| |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Investment property
| | ---- | -------------------

The Trust’s accounting policies
relating to investment property are described in Note 2(e). In applying this policy, judgment is applied in determining whether
certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property. Judgment is also applied in determining the extent and frequency
of independent appraisals.



| | (iii) | Income taxes
| | ----- | ------------

Deferred income taxes are not recognized
in the Trust’s financial statements on the basis that the Trust can deduct distributions paid such that its liability for
income taxes is substantially reduced or eliminated for the year, and the Trust intends to continue to distribute its taxable income
and continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for the foreseeable future.



| | (iv) | Common control transactions
| | ---- | ---------------------------



| |  | IFRS does not include specific measurement guidance for transfers of businesses or subsidiaries
between entities under common control. Accordingly, the Trust has developed a policy to account for such transactions taking into
consideration other guidance in the IFRS framework and pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies. The Trust’s
policy is to record assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transfers of businesses or subsidiaries between entities under
common control at the carrying value on the transferor’s financial statements. Differences between the carrying amount
of the consideration paid or received, where the Trust is the transferor, and the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities
transferred are recorded directly in equity.
| |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (n) | Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------

The Trust makes estimates and assumptions that
affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amount
of earnings for the period. Actual results could differ from estimates. The estimates and assumptions that are critical to the
determination of the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements relate to the following:



| | (i) | Investment property
| | --- | -------------------

The critical estimates and assumptions
underlying the valuation of investment properties are set out in Note 6.



|Brookfield Canada Office Properties | 38
|----------------------------------- | --











| | (ii) | Prior period general and administrative expenses and property management fees
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial results of the Trust are
presented on a continuity-of-interest basis as discussed in Note 2(b). Comparative amounts represent a carve-out from the historical
consolidated financial statements of BPP combined with the acquired interest in the Brookfield Place Interest. As such, the amounts
included as general and administrative expenses and property management fees are estimates and do not necessarily approximate the
expenses and fees that the Trust would have incurred had the Trust been a stand-alone entity during the prior periods presented.



NOTE 3: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Related Party Disclosures – Revised
Definition of Related Parties

On November 4, 2009, the IASB issued a revised
version of IAS 24, “Related Party Disclosures”. IAS 24 requires entities to disclose in their financial statements
information about transactions with related parties. Generally, two parties are related to each other if one party controls, or
significantly influences, the other party. IAS 24 has simplified the definition of a related party and removed certain of the disclosures
required by the predecessor standard. The revised standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
The related party disclosures included in these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the revised standard.



NOTE 4: FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES

| | (a) | Financial instruments
| | --- | ---------------------

IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”
is a multi-phase project to replace IAS 39. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets.
In October 2010 the IASB reissued IFRS 9, incorporating new requirements on accounting for financial liabilities and carrying over
from IAS 39 the requirements for de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In December 2011, the IASB issued
“Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures”, which amended the effective date of IFRS 9 to annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and modified the relief from restating comparative periods and the associated disclosures
in IFRS 7. Early adoption is permitted. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 to add new requirements for impairment of financial assets
measured at amortized cost and hedge accounting. On completion of these various phases, IFRS 9 will be a complete replacement of
IAS 39.



| | (b) | Consolidated Financial Statements
| | --- | ---------------------------------

IFRS 10, “Consolidated
Financial Statements” establishes principles for the preparation of financial statements when an entity controls one or more
other entities. The standard defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for determining which entities
are consolidated in the financial statements of the reporting entity. The standard also sets out the accounting requirements for
the preparation of consolidated financial statements.



| | (c) | Joint Arrangements
| | --- | ------------------

IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements” replaces
the existing IAS 31, “Interests in Joint Ventures”. IFRS 11 requires that an entity consider whether a joint arrangement
is structured through a separate vehicle, as well as the terms of the contractual arrangement and other relevant facts and circumstances,
to assess whether the venture is entitled to only the net assets of the joint arrangement (a “joint venture”) or to
its share of the assets and liabilities of the joint arrangement (a “joint operation”). Joint ventures are accounted
for using the equity method, whereas joint operations are accounted for using proportionate consolidation.



| | (d) | Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
| | --- | -----------------------------------------

IFRS 12, “Disclosure
of Interests in Other Entities” applies to entities that have an interest in a subsidiary, a joint arrangement, an associate
or an unconsolidated structured entity. The standard requires the reporting entity to disclose information that enables users of
financial statements to evaluate (i) the nature of, and risks associated with, the reporting entity’s interests in other
entities and (ii) the effects of those interests on the reporting entity’s financial position, financial performance and
cash flows.



| | (e) | Fair Value Measurement
| | --- | ----------------------

IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement”
replaces the current guidance on fair value measurement in IFRS with a single standard. The standard defines fair value, provides
guidance on its determination and requires disclosures about fair value measurements but does not change the requirements about
the items that should be measured and disclosed at fair value.



Each of the above are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, except for IFRS 9 which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January
1, 2015. Earlier application is permitted for each standard. The Trust anticipates adopting each of the above in the first quarter
of the year for which the standard is applicable and is currently evaluating the impact of each to its consolidated financial statements.



|39 | 2011 Annual Report
|-- | ------------------











NOTE 5:
acquisition of INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

On
December 1, 2011, the Trust acquired from its parent company, BPP, a 25% interest in nine office assets from BPP’s Canadian
Office Fund portfolio totaling 6.5 million square feet in Toronto and Ottawa (the “Acquired Assets” or the “Acquisition”).
The purchase price of $362.1 million was based on the fair values of the Acquired Assets as at December 1, 2011, which were valued
by qualified external valuation professionals. The Acquisition was funded through existing liquidity and assumption of debt of
$140.0 million.



Consistent
with its policy for transactions with entities under common control, the Trust has measured the Acquired Assets and related debt
at their carrying amounts. As such, the Trust recognized a total of $11.0 million in contributed surplus for the difference between
the amount paid and the carrying amount (allocated as $3.1 million to contributed surplus and $7.9 million to non-controlling interest).



The
earnings from the Trust’s interest in the Acquired Assets are included in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive
income commencing from December 1, 2011. The rental revenues and net income recognized during this period was $5.9 million and
$2.8 million, respectively. The assets, liabilities, and earnings from the Trust’s interest have been proportionately consolidated
in the consolidated financial statements. Total rental revenues and net income of the Acquired Assets for the year ended December
31, 2011 was $60.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively. These amounts do not include certain ground rent expenditures, which
are expected to be incurred commencing in 2014.

Other changes represent net straight-line
rent recognized in accordance with IAS 17, “Leases” that is implied within the fair value of investment properties.



Investment properties with an aggregate
fair value of $1,521.2 million (compared to $140.4 million at December 31, 2010) were valued by qualified external valuation professionals.



All properties were valued by the Trust
based on available market evidence. The Trust determined the fair value of each investment property based upon, among other things,
rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases reflecting market conditions at the applicable
balance sheet dates, less future cash outflows with respect to such leases. Fair values were primarily determined by discounting
the expected future cash flows, generally over a weighted-average term of 11 years, including a terminal value based on the application
of a capitalization rate to estimated year 12 cash flows. In accordance with its policy, the Trust measures its investment properties
using valuations prepared by management. In connection with determining these values, the Trust obtains valuations of selected
investment properties prepared by qualified external valuation professionals and considers the results of such valuations in arriving
at its own conclusions on values.



The key valuation metrics for the Trust’s
investment properties are set out in the following tables:



|               |  | December 31, 2011 |     |   | December 31, 2010 | 
|-------------- |  | ----------------- | --- | - | ----------------- | 
|               |  | Discount Rate     |     |   | Terminal CapRate  | 
|Eastern region |  |                   | 6.6 | % |                   | 
|Western region |  |                   | 6.8 | % |                   | 
|Average        |  |                   | 6.7 | % |                   | 



Values are most sensitive to changes
in discount rates and timing or variability of cash flows.



Included in investment properties is
$121.1 million (compared to $92.3 million at December 31, 2010) of net straight-line rent receivables arising from the recognition
of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term in accordance with IAS 17, “Leases.”



|Brookfield Canada Office Properties | 40
|----------------------------------- | --











Investment properties with a fair value
of approximately $825.2 million (compared to $516.0 million at December 31, 2010) are situated on land held under leases or other
agreements largely expiring after the year 2023. Investment properties do not include any properties held under operating leases.



Investment properties with a fair value
of $4,253.9 million (compared to $2,934.0 million at December 31, 2010) are pledged as security for commercial property and corporate
debt.



NOTE 7: INVESTMENT
IN JOINTLY CONTROLLED ASSETS

The Trust’s interests in the following
properties are subject to joint control and, accordingly, the Trust has recorded its share of the related assets, liabilities,

(1)On December 1, 2011, the Trust
acquired a 25% interest in nine office assets from BPP’s Canadian Office Fund portfolio.



First Canadian Place is owned through First
Place Tower Brookfield Properties Inc., a joint venture company. The office tower is subject to a land lease with respect to 50%
of the land on which the property is situated. The land lease will expire on December 1, 2023 subject to an extension under certain
circumstances. At the expiry of the land lease, the other land owner will have the option to acquire, for a nominal amount, an
undivided 50% beneficial interest in the office tower.



Summarized financial information in respect
of the Trust’s interest in jointly controlled assets is set out below:

For the year ended December 31, 2011, interest
of $91.9 million (compared to $86.2 million in 2010) was recorded on commercial property and corporate debt.



Approximately 6.0% of the Trust’s outstanding
commercial property and corporate debt at December 31, 2011, is floating rate debt (compared to 25.3% at December 31, 2010). The
effect of a 100 basis-point increase in interest rates on interest expense relating to floating rate debt, all else being equal,
is an increase in interest expense of $1.2 million on an annual basis. In addition, there is interest rate risk associated with
the Trust’s fixed rate debt due to the expected requirement to refinance such debts in the year of maturity. The effect of
a 100 basis-point increase in interest rates on interest expense relating to fixed rate debt maturing within one year, all else
being equal, is an increase in interest expense of $2.0 million on an annual basis.



The fair value of commercial property and corporate
debt is determined by discounting contractual principal and interest payments at estimated current market interest rates for the
instrument. Current market interest rates are determined with reference to current benchmark rates for a similar term and current
credit spreads for debt with similar terms and risks. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of commercial property and corporate
debt exceeds the principal loan value of these obligations by $72.5 million (compared to an excess of $66.8 million at December
31, 2010).



|Brookfield Canada Office Properties | 42
|----------------------------------- | --











Interest rate risk arises when the fair value
or future cash flows of commercial property and corporate debt fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financing
risk arises when lenders will not refinance maturing debt on terms and conditions acceptable to the Trust, or on any terms at all.
The Trust attempts to stagger the maturities of its borrowings, as well as obtain fixed-rate debt as the means of managing interest
rate risk. The Trust has an ongoing need to access debt markets to refinance maturing debt as it comes due. The Trust’s strategy
to stagger its borrowing maturities attempts to mitigate the Trust’s exposure to excessive amounts of debt maturing in any
one year. The Trust has debt totaling $195.6 million maturing in 2012, representing 9.9% of the Trust’s total debt outstanding
at December 31, 2011, of which $165.9 million, $9.9 million and $19.8 million matures in the second, third and fourth quarter of
2012, respectively.



During the first quarter of 2011, the Trust
completed the refinancing of Queen’s Quay Terminal in Toronto for $90.0 million, generating net proceeds of $58.0 million
after repayment of the previous mortgage. The new debt has a 10-year term maturing April 1, 2021, and bears interest at 5.40% per
annum.



During the second quarter the Trust
established bilateral agreements with five Canadian chartered banks for an aggregate revolving unsecured credit facility of $125.0
million with a three-year term and one one-year extension option and bears interest at bankers’ acceptance plus 2%. As of
December 31, 2011, the balance drawn on these facilities was $120.0 million.



During the third quarter of 2011, the
Trust completed the refinancing of Fifth Avenue Place in Calgary for $175.0 million, generating net proceeds of $109.0 million
after repayment of the previous mortgage. The new debt has a 10-year term maturing August 5, 2021, and bears interest at 4.71%
per annum.



During the fourth quarter of 2011, the
construction financing on Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower in Toronto was repaid and replaced with permanent financing totaling $405.0
million. The new loan has a 10-year term maturing December 21, 2021, and bears interest at 4.426% per annum.

(1)Represents eight months of
distributions in 2010 as the Trust was formed on May 1, 2010.



The Trust has implemented a distribution reinvestment
plan (“DRIP”), which allows certain Canadian resident unitholders to elect to have their distributions reinvested in
additional Trust Units. No brokerage commissions or service charges are payable in connection with the purchase of Trust Units
under the DRIP and the Trust will pay all administrative costs. The automatic reinvestment of distributions under the DRIP does
not relieve holders of Trust Units of any income tax applicable to such distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2011, $332,231
(dollars) or 14,957 Trust Units were paid through the DRIP, compared to $51,954 (dollars), or 2,419 Trust Units in 2010.

In November 2011, the Trust renewed its normal
course issuer bid for its Trust Units for a further one-year period. During the twelve-month period commencing November 5, 2011,
and ending November 4, 2012, the Trust may purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange up to 1,305,347 Trust Units, representing approximately
5% of its issued and outstanding Trust Units. A copy of the Notice of Intention relating to its normal course issuer bid may be
requested at no charge from the Trust. No Trust Units were repurchased by the Trust under this program for the year ended December
31, 2011.



Trust Units

Each Trust Unit is transferable and represents
an equal, undivided, beneficial interest in BOX and any distributions, whether of net income, net realized capital gains, or other
amounts, and in the event of the termination or winding-up of the Trust, in the Trust’s net assets remaining after satisfaction
of all liabilities. All Trust Units rank among themselves equally and ratably without discrimination, preference, or priority.
Each Trust Unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote at all meetings of unitholders or with respect to any written resolution
of unitholders. The Trust Units have no conversion, retraction, or redemption rights.



Special Voting Units

Special Voting Units are only issued in tandem
with Class B LP Units of BOPC LP and are not transferable separately from the Class B LP Units to which they
relate. Upon any transfer of Class B LP Units, such Special Voting Units will automatically be transferred to the transferee
of the Class B LP Units. As Class B LP Units are exchanged for Trust Units or purchased for cancellation, the
corresponding Special Voting Units will be cancelled for no consideration.



Each Special Voting Unit entitles the holder
thereof to one vote at all meetings of unitholders or with respect to any resolution in writing of unitholders. Except for the
right to attend and vote at meetings of the unitholders or with respect to written resolutions of the unitholders, Special Voting
Units do not confer upon the holders thereof any other rights. A Special Voting Unit does not entitle its holder to any economic
interest in BOX, or to any interest or share in BOX, or to any interest in any distributions (whether of net income, net realized
capital gains, or other amounts), or to any interest in any net assets in the event of termination or winding-up.

Non-Controlling interest

The Trust classifies the outstanding Class
B LP Units as non-controlling interest for financial statement purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Class B LP Units are exchangeable
on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary anti-dilution provisions) for Trust Units at the option of the holder. Each Class
B LP Unit is accompanied by a Special Voting Unit that entitles the holder thereof to receive notice of, to attend, and to vote
at all meetings of unitholders of BOX. The holders of Class B LP Units are entitled to receive distributions when declared by BOPC
LP equal to the per unit amount of distributions payable to each holder of Trust Units. However, the Class B LP Units have limited
voting rights over BOPC LP.

(b) Commercial property operations

The Trust generally leases investment properties
under operating leases with lease terms between five and 10 years, with options to extend up to five additional years.



Future minimum rental commitments on non-cancellable
tenant operating leases are as follows:



|(Millions)                                    |  | 2011 |         |  | 2010 |

Operating expenses include ground rent expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2011, of $4.0 million (compared to $4.3 million in 2010) representing rent expense associated with
operating leases for land on which certain of the Trust’s investment properties are situated. These leases have remaining
terms of between 12 and 103 years. The Trust does not have an option to purchase the leased land at the expiry of the lease periods.



Future minimum lease payments under these arrangements
are as follows:



|(Millions)                                    |  | 2011 |       |  | 2010 |

(c) Investment and other income

Investment and other income was $1.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2011 (compared to $1.0 million in 2010). The amounts primarily include interest earned on cash
balances.





NOTE 16: GUARANTEES, CONTINGENCIES, AND
OTHER

(a) In the normal course of operations, the
Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties in
transactions such as business dispositions, business acquisitions, lease-up of development properties, sales of assets, and sales
of services.



(b) The Trust and its operating subsidiaries
are contingently liable with respect to litigation and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business or
otherwise. A specific litigation is being pursued against one of the Trust’s subsidiaries related to security on a defaulted
loan. At this time, the amount of contingent cash outflow related to the litigation and claims currently being pursued against
the Trust is uncertain and could be up to $42.0 million in the event the Trust is completely unsuccessful in defending the claims.



|45 | 2011 Annual Report
|-- | ------------------











(c) The Trust has entered into fixed gas-purchase
contracts with a third-party gas supplier, which cover the period from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012. As of December 31,
2011, the remaining commitment for the Trust to purchase gas for its facilities was $1.4 million.



(d) The Trust has currently guaranteed up to
$125.0 million related to its unsecured credit facility. Subsequent to year-end, this guarantee has increased to up to $200.0 million.



(e) As of December 31, 2011 the Trust had commitments
totaling $5.0 million to third parties for the First Canadian Place re-cladding and re-positioning project in Toronto.



(f) The Trust maintains insurance on
its properties. The Trust maintains all-risk property insurance and rental-value coverage (including coverage for the perils of
flood, earthquakes, and windstorms). The Trust’s all-risk policy limit is $1.5 billion per occurrence. The Trust’s
earthquake limit is $500.0 million per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, and it is subject to a $100,000 (dollars) deductible
for all locations except British Columbia, where the deductible is 3% of the values for all locations where the physical loss,
damage, or destruction occurred. The flood limit is $500.0 million per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, and is subject to
a deductible of $25,000 (dollars) combined for all losses arising from the same occurrence. Windstorm is included under the all-risk
coverage and has $1.5 billion limits per occurrence with a $10,000 (dollars) deductible.



The Trust has insurance covering certain
acts of terrorism for up to $1.0 billion of damage and resulting business-interruption costs. The Trust continues to seek additional
coverage equal to the full replacement cost of its assets; however, until this type of coverage becomes commercially available
on an economically reasonable basis, any damage or business-interruption costs as a result of uninsured acts of terrorism could
result in a material cost to the Trust.



NOTE 17: SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Trust has only one business segment: the
ownership and operation of investment properties in Canada.



NOTE 18: RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of operations, the Trust
enters into various transactions on market terms with related parties that have been measured at exchange value and are recognized
in the consolidated financial statements.



The Trust has entered into two service-support
agreements with Brookfield Properties Management Corporation (“BPMC”), a subsidiary of BPP, dated May 1, 2010, for
the provision of property management, leasing, construction, and asset management services. The purpose of the agreements is to
provide the services of certain personnel and consultants as are necessary to help the Trust operate and manage its assets and
tenant base; it also includes a cost-recovery for administrative and regulatory compliance services provided. The fees paid to
BPMC are calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Included in operating expenses during the year ended December
31, 2011, are amounts paid to BPMC for property management services of $12.4 million (compared to $11.7 million in 2010). Included
in investment properties during the year ended December 31, 2011, are amounts paid to BPMC for leasing and construction services
of $6.9 million (compared to $3.8 million in 2010). Included in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December
31, 2011, are amounts paid to BPMC for asset management and administrative and regulatory compliance services of $12.6 million
(compared to $11.5 million in 2010).



Included in rental revenues during the year
ended December 31, 2011, are amounts received from Brookfield Asset Management Inc., the ultimate parent of BPP, and its affiliates
of $2.4 million, which is consistent with the amount earned during 2010.



NOTE 19: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND LIQUIDITY



The Trust employs a broad range of financing
strategies to facilitate growth and manage financial risk.



The Trust continually strives to reduce
its weighted-average cost of capital and improve unitholders’ equity returns through value-enhancement initiatives and the
consistent monitoring of the balance between debt and equity financing. As of December 31, 2011, the weighted-average cost of capital,
assuming a 9.0% return on equity, was 7.4%, which is consistent with December 31, 2010.

| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Commercial property and corporate debt

The Trust’s commercial property
and corporate debt is primarily fixed-rate and non-recourse to the Trust, thereby reducing the overall financial risk to the Trust.
These financings are typically structured on a loan-to-appraised value basis of between 55% and 65% when the market permits. In
addition, in certain circumstances where a building is leased almost exclusively to a high-credit quality tenant, a higher loan-to-value
financing, based on the tenant’s credit quality, is put in place at rates commensurate with the cost of funds for the tenant.
This reduces equity requirements to finance investment property and enhances equity returns.



The Trust is subject to certain covenants
on its borrowings, including debt service coverage and loan-to-value thresholds. As of December 31, 2011, the Trust was in compliance
with all of its covenants.



The Trust’s strategy is to satisfy
its liquidity needs using cash on hand, cash flows generated from operating activities, and cash provided by financing activities.
Rental revenue, recoveries from tenants, interest and other income, available cash balances, draws on credit facilities, and refinancings,
including upward refinancings, of maturing indebtedness are the Trust’s principal sources of capital used to pay operating
expenses, distributions, debt service, and recurring capital and leasing costs in its investment property portfolio.



The principal liquidity needs for periods
beyond the next year are for unit distributions, scheduled debt maturities, and capital expenditures. The Trust’s strategy
is to meet these needs with one or more of the following:



| | • | cash flow from operations; and
| | - | ------------------------------

| | • | refinancing opportunities.
| | - | --------------------------



The Trust attempts to match the maturity of
its commercial property and corporate debt portfolio with the average lease terms of its properties. At December 31, 2011, the
average term to maturity of the Trust’s commercial property and corporate debt portfolio was five years and the Trust’s
average lease term of its properties was approximately nine years. The Trust will continue to make efforts to match the maturity
of the commercial property and corporate debt portfolio with the average lease term of its properties.



The
following table presents the contractual maturities of the Trust’s financial liabilities:



|                                          |  |       |         |  | Payments Due By Period |
