SUMMARY NOTES Some properties better than others, but no one has lost money with us.

Many investments look good on paper before the project starts. We have made some mistakes early on, but have learned from our experiences. We constantly review our portfolio, weeding out those properties that do not per-form up to our expectations and in this way we maximize profit across the range of properties contained within each Limited Partnership.For example: We bought a 45 suite apartment building in Detroit, MI because it was “cheap”. We bought for $650,000 ($250,000 and issuance of $400,000 worth of LP4 units) or $14,400 per door. We sold this asset after 1 ½ years for $100,000 to rid ourselves of a management headache, ongoing required major upgrade requirements, rent collection challenges, and negative cash-flow, especially in winter. This loss represented about 6% of LP4’s total investment of over $10M – an unfortunate but very tiny comparable loss. Over more than a decade, we have purchased in excess of 30 properties, and in only 2 cases did the properties go down in value compared to our purchase price. One of those 2 properties are located in the United States,

where the property market has experienced the greatest property market collapse since the 1930s. The only Canadian property sold below what

we paid for it, was a 64-suite building in Powell River that we sold in December 2010, and this still yielded a 50% ROI to the limited

partner investors who purchased it in 2005. In fact, our overall record of success in the face of such turbulent times is a testament to the strength of our business model.The ROI is usually a combination of cash-flow, mortgage paydown and equity upside. Equity upside is achieved

though time/inflation, impeccable property management, value improvements, rent increases or re-positioning. In any

investment you should look first at a return OF your money, then at a return ON your money!

CURRENT THINKING Maintain focus on the bottom line.

In today’s uncertain economic climate we are fortunate to be invested in apartment buildings in regional econo-mies that continue to have a bright future. Some property markets have lived through a market correction, such as that in Alberta, and now it is time to buy there again as underlying market fundamentals return to the fore. A

good example of this is the 120-suite Calgary building pictured at left, which we purchased in December 2010 for $14.65 million. This building was appraised in February 2015 for $22,500,000, almost $8M over the purchase price.Our unrelenting focus on minimizing overhead at Prestigious Properties corporate head office, and on a building-by-building basis, will continue to be our guiding philosophy through 2016. We consider the belt-tightening of the last few years to be the new normal-- a lesson that some banks, investment companies and govern-ments around the world still fail to fully appreciate.

Today, we still find decent properties with excellent upside and value improvement potential in BC, AB, SK, and yes, in Ontario or the US, in places like Texas, although currently we are primarily focused on AB and SK. Rents are rising in Western Canada and select US growth markets with strong in-migration. Construction costs and building replacement values are much higher than with older buildings, leaving much room for growth with cash-flow for years to come. We like to point out that we do not aim for 0% vacancy but for maximum revenue. Much like airlines or hotels we strive for yield management or load management, such that the less vacancies in a building, the higher the rent for the same suite. Ultimately, the value of a multi-family real estate investment is dependent on the cash flow it is able to generate, and this can be greatly affected by even small improvements in how we do things anywhere along the value chain. From researching and executing the initial purchase, to capital and operating improvements, working with banks, marketing and management over time, to eventually selling the asset. When you own a building, the “Kaizen” approach works best: continuous small improvements to the properties and their managers, including head office. When you own a property over a number of years these value amplifications through Kaizen really add up for our investors.
