BALANCE SHEET

On February 27, 2013, InnVest issued $115.0 million of Series G - 5.75% convertible debentures with proceeds primarily used to redeem InnVest's $75.0 million Series B - 6.00% convertible debentures on April 1, 2013. Incremental proceeds will be used to fund InnVest's capital investment program.

As of March 31, 2013, InnVest had $93.3 million of cash (including restricted cash), $75.0 million of which was applied to redeem the Series B Debentures on April 1, 2013. As at the end of the quarter, InnVest has $36.8 million of capacity on its credit facility.

Pro forma the redemption of its Series B - 6.0% convertible debentures, InnVest's leverage at March 31, 2013 including convertible debentures was 66.5% (46.0% excluding convertible debentures).

InnVest has no debt maturities until March of 2014 and a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%.

INCOME TAX DEFERRAL

For 2013, InnVest estimates that the non-taxable portion of the distributions made to unitholders during the year will approximate 30% (2012 - 40%). This estimate may change materially based on InnVest's asset disposition activity during the year.

OUTLOOK

Uncertainty in the world economy continues to impact the lodging industry. InnVest's broad, diversified portfolio remains a key advantage in the current environment.

Canadian lodging industry fundamentals remain favourable, with improving demand expectations through the balance of the year.

Over the next two years, InnVest expects to divest of low-yielding assets and reinvest proceeds generated to undertake an extensive capital program to enhance its product offering at a number of select hotels. These targeted investments are expected to improve the portfolio's competitive positioning and operating performance through increased occupancies and rates. An enhanced product, coupled with improving demand and constrained new supply should enable InnVest to realize cash flow growth.

NOMINEES FOR ELECTION TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES

InnVest will be hosting its annual and special meeting of unitholders (the "Meeting") on June 5, 2013 in Toronto. At the Meeting, it is proposed that five Trustees be elected by the Unitholders so that there are a total of seven Trustees. There are presently four elected Trustees and a total of six Trustees. Two of the current Trustees, Frank Anderson and Morton G. Gross, are seeking re-election at the Meeting. Michael P. Kitt and Minhas N. Mohamed are not seeking re-election. InnVest's Board of Trustees has nominated three new nominees, Edward W. Boomer, Laurence S. Geller and Fernand Perreault. The new nominees have extensive backgrounds in the real estate and hospitality industries and are expected to contribute significantly to InnVest's strategy and corporate governance in the years ahead.

Information about all nominees will be included in InnVest's management information circular for the Meeting which will be mailed to unitholders of record as of April 30, 2013 early next week and will thereafter be made available on the Canadian Securities Administrators' System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") located at www.sedar.com and on InnVest's website at www.innvestreit.com.
