SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 2
The ownership structure of the Corporation’s various investments is diverse, resulting in different methods of accounting for such
investments. Generally, the Corporation accounts for its investments as either (i) subsidiaries; (ii) equity accounted investments;
or (iii) direct investments. The previous chart illustrates significant investments included in the Corporation’s existing portfolio
at September 30, 2014, and details the method of accounting that has been applied in order to account for each investment.
Subsidiaries include those investment structures for which the Corporation is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Subsidiaries are not recorded as individual investments in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Instead,
subsidiaries are consolidated, with 100% of the subsidiaries’ underlying accounts recorded on a line-by-line basis within the
Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. The share of assets, liabilities, net earnings or loss and other
comprehensive income or loss (“OCI”) of the subsidiary belonging to other investors and not attributable to the Corporation
are reported in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as “Non-controlling interest”.
Equity accounted investments are those investment structures over which the Corporation may exert significant influence,
or over which it has joint control relating to financial and operating policy decisions. The carrying values of equity
accounted investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted by the Corporation’s share of net earnings
or loss, less any dividends or distributions received, and the Corporation’s share of OCI generated by the investee company.
The carrying value of an equity accounted investment is subsequently adjusted to reflect any dilution in the Corporation’s
ownership interest. The share of net earnings and OCI from equity accounted investments, as well as any gain or loss
resulting from a dilution in ownership interest, are reported in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of operations as
“Share of earnings (or OCI) from equity accounted investments”. Dividends or distributions received from equity
accounted investments are not reported as revenues. Rather, any amounts received are reported in the Corporation’s
financial statements as a reduction in the carrying value of the equity accounted investment.
Investments – All other investments have been designated as investments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
These investments are carried in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements at their fair value, with changes in
period-over-period fair values recorded in net earnings. Investments at FVTPL include investments associated with the
Corporation’s brokerage business and which have been separately designated as “Brokerage securities owned” or
“Brokerage securities sold short” in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of financial position.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Corporation believes that important measures of its operating performance, including the operating performance of its
subsidiaries, include certain performance measures that are not defined under IFRS and as such, may not be comparable to
similar performance measures used by other companies. Throughout this MD&A and the Corporation’s MD&A as at and for the
year ended December 31, 2013, there will be references to certain performance measures which management believes are
relevant in assessing the economics of its business. While these performance measures are not formally recognized by IFRS, the
Corporation believes that they are informative and provide further insight as supplementary measures to net earnings and cash
flows.
“AUA” or “Assets under Administration” represent the approximate period-end value of client assets administered by the
Corporation’s brokerage subsidiaries and in respect of which these subsidiaries earn commission revenue and other similar
fees from clients. AUA are not included in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of financial position. “AUM” or “Assets under Management” represent the period-end value of client assets managed by the Corporation’s
capital markets, wealth management and asset management subsidiaries on a discretionary basis and in respect of which
these subsidiaries earn management fee revenue and, in certain cases, performance fee revenue. AUM are not included in
the Corporation’s consolidated statements of financial position. “Barrel of Oil Equivalent” or “boe” is calculated at a barrel of oil conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of
natural gas to one barrel (“bbl”) of oil (6 Mcf to 1 bbl), based on an energy equivalency conversion method which is
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not always represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 3
“Contribution Margin” or “Margin” is an important measure of earnings in each business segment and generally
represents core revenues less cost of sales, and excludes related general and administrative expenses, depreciation and
depletion, interest expense, and income taxes. “Market Value” of an investment is generally determined using quoted market prices on prescribed stock exchanges. “Field Level Cash Flows” are calculated as revenue from oil and natural gas sales, less royalties and cost of sales. Field
level cash flows contribute to working capital, including debt management, as well as to the funding of capital expenditure
requirements for the Corporation’s resource-based business activities. “Field Netbacks” refer to field level cash flows expressed on a measurement unit or barrel of oil equivalent basis. “Per Day Amount” or (“/d”) is used throughout this MD&A to reflect oil and gas production volumes on an average per
day basis. “Probable Reserves” are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally
likely that the actual remaining reserves quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved
plus probable reserves. “Proved Reserves” are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely
that the actual remaining reserves quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013
Consolidated Net Earnings
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation incurred a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee
Corporation of $140.2 million or a loss of $2.68 per share. This compares with earnings of $513.4 million or $9.37 per share
generated during the same period of the prior year, including an after-tax gain of $599.4 million relating to the completion of the
distribution of the Corporation’s 70% interest in Dundee Realty Corporation (“Dundee Realty”) pursuant to a tax efficient plan of
arrangement that resulted in the establishment of DREAM Unlimited Corp. (“DREAM”). The Corporation retained a 29%
interest in DREAM, whose business activities include residential land development, housing and condominium development and
asset management activities for certain infrastructure investment vehicles.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 4
The operations of Dundee Realty, prior to completion of the transaction as outlined above, have been included in the comparative
information to the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as “Discontinued operations”. Excluding the
effect of discontinued operations, the Corporation’s net loss from continuing operations attributable to owners of Dundee
Corporation decreased by a further $26.9 million in the first nine months of 2014, when compared with the net loss from
continuing operations attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation incurred during the first nine months of the prior year. The
previous table summarizes the Corporation’s net earnings or loss on a per segment basis.
Significant contributions to changes in period-over-period results include the following:
Included in the “Corporate and other portfolio holdings” segment are gains or losses representing changes in the market
values of the Corporation’s investment portfolio designated as investments at FVTPL. Changes in the fair value of
investments are determined by equity and credit markets and are expected to result in significant quarterly fluctuations in net
earnings. Declines in the fair value of the Corporation’s portfolio of investments during the nine months ended September
30, 2014 were $108.4 million. This compares with declines of $147.1 million incurred during the same period of the prior
year. The Corporation believes that equity and credit markets do not necessarily correctly reflect the underlying value of
certain assets and therefore, the Corporation’s operating results do not necessarily provide predictive value to readers of the
Corporation’s financial statements.
Also included in the “Corporate and other portfolio holdings” segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2014
are losses of $27.2 million relating to the Corporation’s share of losses of its underlying equity accounted investees. In the
same period of 2013, the Corporation recognized earnings of $27.9 million as its share of earnings from these equity
accounted investees. Included in the current year equity accounted losses is $22.3 million relating to the Corporation’s share
of impairment amounts recognized by Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (“Dundee Precious”) in respect of certain of its
investment properties in Armenia.
Included in operating results during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are expenses of $24.5 million relating to
United Hydrocarbon International Corp. (“UHI”). The Corporation began to consolidate the operating results of UHI on
June 30, 2013.
Also included in operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are losses of $2.7 million and $3.0 million
relating to the operations of AgriMarine Holdings Inc. and Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation, respectively. The
Corporation began to account for these investments on a consolidated basis during the third quarter of 2014.
In the early part of 2014, the Corporation restructured the operations of its agricultural operating subsidiary, Blue Goose
Capital Corp. (“Blue Goose“). As a result of these initiatives, Blue Goose incurred an operating loss of $21.3 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including $11.5 million relating directly to these initiatives. This compares with
an operating loss of $8.5 million in the same period of the prior year.
The net loss from the Corporation’s brokerage subsidiary was $5.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014,
compared with a net loss of $25.5 million incurred in the same period of the prior year. Brokerage operations benefited
from increased corporate finance activities and improved portfolio trading gains.
The Corporation’s oil and gas operating subsidiary also generated improved earnings, primarily as a result of improved
commodity prices, most notably during the earlier months of the year and in response to severe winter weather conditions.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 6
Union Group is developing a diversified portfolio of mineral assets, including iron ore, gold, nickel and diamonds. Union
Group’s mineral properties are located predominantly in Uruguay and are currently in the exploration phase. In addition,
Union Group has been granted the necessary approvals to complete an environmental impact assessment, which is required
in order to undertake exploration activities on its 50% farm-in interest in the Z34 Block, a prospective oil and gas asset in
Peru. Union Group has also invested in power generation projects and is currently constructing two run-of-river
hydropower projects of 27 MW combined capacity, and it is developing a portfolio of other greenfield renewable energy
projects representing an additional 900 MW. Power generation projects are located primarily in Peru. Prime real estate
properties are located in Uruguay and include income generating properties, residential development projects and other
landholdings. Union Group’s portfolio also includes a minority interest in Union Agriculture Group, (www.uag.com.uy), the
largest corporate agricultural landholder and operator in Uruguay and a leading producer of agricultural products for global
export.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Union Group generated losses of approximately US$1.4 million,
primarily as a result of a US$2.2 million increase in pre-operative expenses associated with launching the power generation
project and a US$0.6 million increase in expenses related to mineral and oil and gas exploration; partially offset by a US$1.6
million increase in revenues due to asset management activities. The Corporation’s share of these losses was $0.7 million.
Paragon Holdings (Smithe Street) ULC (“Paragon Holdings”), Edgewater Casino ULC and Edgewater Casino LP
On April 1, 2014, the Corporation received the necessary British Columbia gaming regulatory approvals to complete a series
of transactions which resulted in the Corporation converting its $37.5 million participating loan to Edgewater Casino Resort
Development for (i) 50% of the shares of Paragon Holdings; (ii) 50% of the shares of Edgewater Casino ULC, the general
partner of Edgewater Casino LP and the holder of an 86% interest in Edgewater Casino LP; and (iii) a 7% direct interest in
Edgewater Casino LP, the operator of the Edgewater Casino, a boutique casino located in downtown Vancouver, British
Columbia (which, on a combined basis, provides the Corporation, directly and indirectly, with a 50% interest in the
operations of the Edgewater Casino).
The developer, Paragon Holdings, which is now jointly owned by the Corporation and affiliates of Paragon Gaming Inc.
(“Paragon Gaming”), a Las Vegas based casino resort developer and operator, has the rights to design, develop and operate a
mixed-use comprehensive development project adjacent to B.C. Place stadium. The new development will feature two
luxury resort hotels, a conference centre, restaurants, parking, retail space and a new location for the existing Edgewater
Casino. The Corporation and Paragon Gaming have entered into certain contracts pursuant to which entities jointly
controlled by Dundee 360 and Paragon Gaming will assume responsibility for the development, construction and
management of the new complex. The Corporation and Paragon Gaming are currently in the process of raising project
financing for the development.
The Corporation assessed its ability to exert significant influence over the operations and financial results of Paragon
Holdings, given its current interest shareholdings, its representation on the board of directors and joint approval voting
power. Accordingly, on April 1, 2014, the Corporation began to account for its investment in Paragon Holdings and the
Edgewater Casino using the equity method. From April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, the Corporation recognized equity
losses from its investment in Paragon Holdings of $4.0 million, representing its share of significant legal and consulting
costs as Paragon Holdings continues to make significant advancements in the new development, and equity earnings from its
investment in Edgewater Casino of $2.0 million.
Android Industries, LLC (“Android”)
In early 2014, the Corporation acquired, both directly and indirectly, a 20% interest in Android (www.android-ind.com), a
private leading high technology-enabled assembler and sequencer of complex assemblies for the automotive industry.
Android currently operates 11 production facilities in North America and Europe, each strategically located in close
proximity to its customers. Android’s business model enables original equipment manufacturers to outsource complex
module assembly operations. Android uses this differentiated foundation to assemble a diverse range of automotive
modules, including power trains, chassis, tires and wheels, instrument panels, and door trim and hardware, utilizing complex
systems and equipment designed and built by Android. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the
Corporation’s share of equity losses from its investment in Android was $0.7 million.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 7
Cambridge Medical Funding Group II, LLC (“Cambridge Medical”)
In April 2014, the Corporation invested US$10 million to acquire a 50% interest in Cambridge Medical Funding Group II,
LLC, a New Jersey based receivables finance company with a proprietary system that facilitates the collection of American
no-fault and workers’ compensation receivables for medical facilities including hospitals, surgical centers, and single
medical providers resident in certain states. For the period from April 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, the Corporation’s
share of equity losses from its investment in Cambridge Medical was $0.5 million.
Earnings and Losses from Equity Accounted Investments
The Corporation realized losses of $27.1 million (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – earnings of $27.9 million) from
equity accounted investments, including dilution gains of $0.3 million (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – $7.4 million).
(i) During 2013, the Corporation determined that it no longer had significant influence over the operations and financial results of these investees. Accordingly,
these investments were reclassified to the Corporation's investment portfolio as investments at FVTPL.
(ii) Real estate joint venture investments were acquired as part of the plan of arrangement with Dundee 360. See “Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation”.
Dundee Precious Metals Inc.
Dundee Precious (www.dundeeprecious.com) is a Canadian based international mining company engaged in the acquisition,
exploration, development, mining and processing of precious and base metals in Bulgaria, Namibia, Armenia and Serbia.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, revenue from sales generated by Dundee Precious was US$234.7 million, a
decrease of US$25.5 million from revenue of US$260.2 million generated in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was
mainly attributable to lower volumes of payable metals in concentrate sold as a result of lower metals production, and lower
metal prices, partially offset by higher volumes of concentrate smelted and toll rates reflecting improved contract terms and lower
third party treatment charges. Revenue less cost of sales (“gross profit”) from mining operations was US$39.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with US$69.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in
gross profit is consistent with Dundee Precious’ decrease in net revenue, reflecting lower volumes of payable metals in
concentrate sold partially offset by higher volumes and toll rates, higher depreciation and a higher cost per tonne of concentrate
sold, partially offset by the favourable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
The net loss attributable to its common shareholders of Dundee Precious was US$80.4 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, compared with net earnings of US$3.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The net loss was due
primarily to an impairment provision of US$70.0 million on certain property in Armenia. The Corporation’s share of the loss
from its investment in Dundee Precious was $22.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (nine months ended
September 30, 2013 – $1.5 million earnings).

At September 30, 2014, the Corporation held an aggregate of 35.5 million common shares of Dundee Precious with a market
value of $157.1 million, representing a 25% equity interest.
Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation (“Eagle Hill”)
Eagle Hill (www.eaglehillexploration.com) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the exploration and
development of the high-grade Windfall Lake Gold Deposit, located between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in Quebec. This area
is known for its gold and copper production and excellent infrastructure for exploration and mining. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation recognized losses of $0.7 million relating to its investment in Eagle Hill. At
September 30, 2014, the Corporation held an aggregate of 140.5 million common shares, or a 29% interest in Eagle Hill,
including 29.1 million shares acquired earlier in the current year. The market value of the Corporation’s investment in Eagle Hill
at September 30, 2014 was $4.2 million.
Escal UGS S.L. (“Escal”)
The carrying value of the Corporation’s investment in Escal at September 30, 2014 is $nil. In July 2014, Escal filed an
application for the relinquishment of the exploitation concession related to the Castor underground natural gas storage project in
Spain, which was acknowledged by the Spanish authorities by royal decree subsequent to September 30, 2014. Under the terms
of the royal decree: (i) Escal will receive €1.35 billion within 35 days of the date of the royal decree, and (ii) Escal will receive
certain other remuneration rights, including financial remuneration for the period from the provisional commissioning date of the
Castor project on July 5, 2012 through to October 4, 2014, being the date the royal decree went into force, as well as the
reimbursement of operating and maintenance costs incurred during this period. The final determination and timing of these
additional remuneration rights have not yet been finalized. It is anticipated that the amounts received by Escal will be applied
towards the repayment of €1.38 billion of outstanding bonds issued by Watercraft Capital S.A., Escal’s financing vehicle. The
royal decree further stipulates that the Castor project will remain mothballed until the Spanish government is satisfied with
technical studies and reports on the commissioning of such facilities. Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., the technical manager of the
Spanish gas system, has been tasked with completing these studies and it will be entrusted with ongoing care and maintenance of
the facilities as soon as practicable. However, in accordance with the terms of the decree, Escal and its shareholders remain
responsible for any possible flaws or defects in the facilities associated with the Castor project that become apparent during the
ten years following the issuance of the royal decree.
Portfolio Investments

Income from Corporate Investments
The Corporation recognizes changes in the fair values of its investments in its net earnings or loss. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, the fair value of the Corporation’s portfolio of investments declined by $108.4 million (nine months ended
September 30, 2013 – decline of $147.1 million).
The loss in the value of investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included a loss of $81.8 million relating
to the Corporation’s investment in 21,636,288 Class A subordinate voting shares of DREAM, reflecting a decline in the trading
value of these shares from $16.90 per share at December 31, 2013 to $13.12 per share at September 30, 2014. A further $18.0
million loss was recognized in respect of the Corporation’s investment of 5,698,500 shares of African Minerals Ltd., a minerals
exploration, development and mining company with significant interests in Sierra Leone, with the underlying per share value
falling from £1.97 per share on December 31, 2013 to £0.17 per share on September 30, 2014.
DEVELOPMENTS IN ASSET MANAGEMENT
In July 2014, the Corporation announced that it was reorganizing its business activities into two separate divisions; wealth
management and merchant banking.
As currently envisioned, the wealth management division will encompass the activities of the Corporation’s subsidiaries,
Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Inc. (“GCIC”), a registered portfolio manager and exempt market dealer across
Canada and an investment fund manager in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland; and Dundee Securities Ltd., a
full service securities broker and member of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. The Corporation’s
strategy for its wealth management division is to build an independent, integrated and diversified financial services firm by
recreating the environment that led to the past success of the Corporation’s previously owned subsidiary DundeeWealth Inc.,
which the Corporation sold in February 2011, while allowing it to capture new opportunities in investment management,
including exchange traded funds (ETFs) and alternative investments.
GOODMAN & COMPANY, INVESTMENT COUNSEL INC.
At September 30, 2014, GCIC reported total AUM of $206.5 million, compared with AUM of $497.1 million at December 31,
2013. In order to streamline the core focus of its investment management activities, GCIC terminated its sub-advisory activities
in respect of certain mutual funds and concurrently, it assumed full management for the “CMP”, “CDR” and “Canadian
Dominion Resources” limited partnership investment products, including the management of the oil and gas components of these
portfolios which had previously been sub-advised by third parties.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 11
The termination of sub-advisory activities decreased levels of AUM by $249.3 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2014 as outlined below.
Corresponding to reduced levels of AUM as outlined above, revenues earned by GCIC during the nine months ended September
30, 2014 decreased to $2.4 million, compared with $3.4 million earned in the same period of the prior year.
Management fee revenue earned by GCIC is largely based on the fair value of AUM as calculated on the last business day of
each month. Average AUM decreased by 54% to $307.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared
with $666.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During this period, the average management fee rate
increased to 1.2% in the first nine months of 2014 as compared with 0.7% for the same period of 2013. Despite the decrease in
AUM, the average management fee rate increased, predominantly as a result of GCIC assuming full management of previously
sub-advised assets in the current year as described above.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, GCIC incurred a net loss before income taxes of $1.1 million (nine months
ended September 30, 2013 – loss of $3.4 million). Prior year losses include a compensatory amount of $2.3 million that had been
accrued in anticipation of growth in AUM in excess of amounts subsequently realized. These compensatory amounts were
subsequently reversed in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
Consistent with year-to-date returns, management fee revenue earned by GCIC during the third quarter of 2014 was $0.8 million,
a decrease compared with management fee revenue of $1.0 million earned during the same period of the prior year. During the
third quarter of 2014, GCIC incurred a net loss of $0.2 million, compared with a net loss in the third quarter of 2013 of $2.0
million, reflecting the effect of the compensatory accrual as outlined above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Assets Under Management and Assets Under Administration
In March 2014, Dundee Securities completed a transaction pursuant to which it acquired 55 new retail advisors, and added
approximately $2 billion to its existing base of AUM and AUA. The purchase consideration for the transaction was
approximately $16.0 million. The transaction added retail advisors to Dundee Securities’ existing offices in Toronto, Montreal,
Calgary and Vancouver, and it also resulted in the establishment of new offices in Ottawa and Victoria.
Partially stemming from assets acquired in the transaction, AUA increased to $4.8 billion at September 30, 2014, compared with
AUA levels of $3.0 billion at the end of December 2013 and $2.9 billion at September 30, 2013.
AUM also increased during the same period, with AUM levels at September 30, 2014 exceeding $1.1 billion, a 33% increase
over AUM of $0.9 billion at December 31, 2013 and a 38% increase over AUM levels of $0.8 billion a year earlier.
Correspondingly, management fee revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased to $9.9 million,
compared with $4.9 million of management fees earned in the same period of the prior year.
Financial Services Revenue
Investment banking revenue, including revenue from new issues and advisory services fees, was $40.1 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2014, a 103% increase over the $19.7 million of revenue earned in the same period of the prior
year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee Securities participated in 106 (nine months ended September
30, 2013 – 84) public and private new issue transactions, with the mining and oil and gas sectors representing 43% of new issue
activity. These new issue financings generated revenue of $30.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a
significant increase compared with the $13.8 million of revenue earned in the same period of the prior year. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee Securities earned advisory services fees of $9.6 million, compared with $5.9 million
in the same period of the prior year. Advisory mandates are generally long term in nature, and fees are earned only on the
successful completion of a transaction.

Commission revenue increased by 36% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $36.7 million, compared with $27.0
million earned in the same period of the prior year. This increase reflects improvements in both the institutional and retail
divisions and includes increases resulting from the previously discussed acquisition of new retail advisors in March 2014.
Principal trading activities generated trading losses of $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared
with losses of $13.9 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting market appreciation of proprietary investment banking
positions and decreased facilitation trading losses, partially offset by decreased revenues from Dundee Securities’ portfolio of
trading securities.
Variable Compensation Expense
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, variable compensation expense paid to capital markets professionals was
$46.4 million (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – $24.0 million), representing approximately 54% (nine months ended
September 30, 2013 – 63%) of related financial services and management fee revenue, resulting in contribution margins of 46%
(nine months ended September 30, 2013 – 37%). The current year’s variable compensation reflects the higher compensation
levels that are inherent in the acquisition of the new retail advisors. The prior year’s contribution margin included amounts
accrued in excess of the normal payout model due to unusual losses on proprietary inventory positions. Capital markets
professionals and financial advisors are compensated on a variable scale, based on revenues generated. Certain capital markets
professionals may also be compensated based on the profitability of their respective division.
Dundee Securities incurred general and administrative expenses of $51.5 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2014, compared with general and administrative expenses of $44.8 million incurred in the same period of the prior year. The
increase is primarily attributable to infrastructure costs associated with the previously discussed acquisition of new retail
advisors.

DUNDEE 360 REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
Dundee 360 (formerly 360 VOX Corporation) is a global real estate company that offers comprehensive service in the
investment, development, sales, marketing, operations and management of real estate assets. Prior to July 2, 2014, the
Corporation held 49.0 million shares of Dundee 360, representing an 18% interest. The Corporation’s investment in Dundee 360
was accounted for as an equity accounted investment.
On July 2, 2014, the Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Dundee 360 that it did not already
own. Under the terms of the arrangement, other former shareholders of Dundee 360 exchanged their shares in Dundee 360 for
2,779,983 Class A subordinate voting shares of the Corporation, with an approximate value at the date of completion of the
arrangement of $45.5 million. Following completion of the arrangement, Dundee 360 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation began consolidating the operating results, cash flow and net assets of Dundee 360
from the date of the completion of the arrangement.
The aggregate purchase consideration for Dundee 360 was $55.3 million, including the $45.5 million fair value of the 2,779,983
Class A Subordinate voting shares of the Corporation that were issued on the date of the completion of the arrangement, as well
as $9.8 million in value attributed to the shares of Dundee 360, which the Corporation owned prior to the arrangement. A
summary of the allocation of the aggregate consideration transferred to the fair value of the net assets acquired is summarized
below. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired are preliminary and may be revised when estimates
and assumptions and the valuations of assets and liabilities are finalized within 12 months of the respective acquisition date.
The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition primarily reflects the estimated value of identified future real estate development
projects which are anticipated to result in the formalization of asset management and development contracts in the foreseeable
future, including a project in the Gangwon Province of the Republic of Korea to develop a leisure, tourism and commercial hub
within the East Coast Free Economic Zone.

September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the period from the date of acquisition on July 2, 2014 to September 30, 2014, Dundee 360 generated a net loss
attributable to the owners of Dundee Corporation of $3.0 million, including $2.9 million of depreciation, a large part of which
reflects the amortization of intangible assets acquired as outlined above.

period of 25 years ending in 2029, with a unilateral right to extend these rights for an additional 25-year term. Franchise fees
pursuant to this arrangement are 6% of gross commission revenues with minimum annual payments of US$960,000.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee 360 earned gross commission revenues for the listing, marketing
and selling of real estate assets of $20.9 million. Commission expense payouts to associated brokers and agents in respect of this
revenue stream were $19.2 million during this period, providing Dundee 360 with a contribution margin of $1.7 million or 8%.

Hospitality and Asset Management Activities
Hospitality and asset management activities encompass the management and development of international hotel, resort,
residential and commercial properties.
Dundee 360 has entered into an asset management agreement with Ivanhoé Cambridge, a subsidiary of the Caisse de dèpôt et
placement du Québec pension fund. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Dundee 360 will provide hotel management services
for a portfolio of Canadian hotels that operate under the “Fairmont” banner in exchange for a fee calculated on the portfolio
value of the hotels under management, subject to an annual minimum fee. The asset management agreement expires in January
2017.
In addition to these hospitality and asset management arrangements, Dundee 360 has entered into several project management
and procurement agreements with the Fairmont hotels to oversee several refurbishments and infrastructure capital projects.
Dundee 360 has also entered into a series of agreements with members of Enchantment Group, a resort company based in the

expire in May 2025, Dundee 360 will manage the “Enchantment Resort” in Sedona, Arizona including the “Mii Amo”

acquire an interest in the Tides Resort and Tides Inn. The option carries a penalty of $1.0 million if such option is not exercised.
Under the terms of these arrangements, Dundee 360 is also committed to assume 50% of any operating losses incurred by the
Tides Inn for a period of up to three years commencing November 13, 2015. Dundee 360 has not recorded a liability in respect
of these amounts as such liability cannot be reasonably estimated.
Pursuant to an agreement with Northlight Asset Management II LLC, a United States based manager of private equity, debt and
real estate assets, Dundee 360 will manage the Seven Canyons Golf Course, an 18-hole, Tom Weiskopf designed golf course in
Sedona, Arizona, for an initial term of 30 years ending in May 2043. Dundee 360 will provide management services in exchange

management activities.

Clearpoint Resort
Dundee 360 has an approximate 78% interest in Clearpoint Resort Limited, a Maltese corporation (“CRLM”), through

September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 17
Located in Cavtat, Croatia, and in close proximity to Dubrovnik, Clearpoint Resort will be a master planned hotel, marina
and recreational accommodations project developed on a terraced hillside reaching down to the Cavtat harbour. The

estate assets”.
CRLM is subject to a loan arrangement with the Erste & Steiemarkische Bank. Amounts owing on September 30, 2014
pursuant to this loan arrangement were €3.1 million and the loan bears interest at Euribor plus 6.75%. Subsequent to
September 30, 2014, Dundee 360 facilitated the repayment of a further €0.5 million in respect of this loan, in exchange for
an additional 3% equity interest in CRLM, which increases its interest in CRLM to approximately 80%.

Province of the Republic of Korea to develop a leisure, tourism and commercial hub within the East Coast Free Economic

within the next 12 months.
DUNDEE ENERGY LIMITED
Dundee Energy (www.dundee-energy.com) is a Canadian-based company focused on creating long-term value through the
development and acquisition of high-impact energy projects. Dundee Energy’s common shares trade on the TSX under the
symbol “DEN”.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee Energy generated net earnings of $2.7 million attributable to owners
of Dundee Corporation. This compares to a net loss attributable to owners of Dundee Corporation of $1.7 million incurred
during the same period of the prior year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales and Production Volumes
Dundee Energy holds interests, both directly and indirectly, in the largest accumulation of producing oil and natural gas assets in
southern Ontario. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, sales of oil and natural gas, net of royalty interests, were
$30.7 million, an increase of $5.8 million over revenues earned during the same period of the prior year. The effect of improved
commodity prices increased revenues by approximately $7.4 million, although these results were partially offset by reduced
production volumes, which decreased revenues by $1.6 million. From time-to-time, Dundee Energy may mitigate its exposure to
price volatility, including currency risk associated with commodity pricing, by entering into fixed price commodity contracts in
Canadian dollars.

Field Level Cash Flows and Field Netbacks
Field level cash flows from natural gas, before realized amounts related to risk management contracts, increased to $10.4 million
or $3.88/Mcf during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $4.3 million or $1.57/Mcf in the same period of
the prior year. Dundee Energy realized an average price on sales of natural gas of $7.29/Mcf during the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, 64% higher than the average price of $4.45/Mcf realized in the same period of the prior year. The increase is
reflective of severe weather conditions experienced in Ontario from January to April 2014 and the high volatility in natural gas
commodity prices during the winter months at the Dawn Hub, a leading provider of natural gas supply to the greater Toronto
market area.
Field level cash flows from oil and liquids, before realized amounts related to risk management contracts, decreased to $9.4
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $9.6 million generated during the same period of the
prior year. Despite the decline in field level cash flows, field netbacks, before realized amounts related to risk management
contracts, increased to $58.76/bbl during the first nine months of 2014 compared with $54.56/bbl in the same period of the prior
year, reflecting higher commodity prices, offset by lower production volumes. Risk management contracts reduced field level
cash flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 by $0.3 million or $2.12/bbl. As a result, field netbacks from oil
production and sales were $56.64/bbl during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with $54.61/bbl earned in the
same period of the prior year.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Capital Expenditures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee Energy expended $5.6 million on capital projects, compared with
$8.8 million in the same period of the prior year.
Approximately $0.8 million of capital expenditures were incurred offshore, including $0.7 million on four exploratory new
horizon tests and $0.1 million in upgrading offshore facilities. Initial results from two of the four exploratory tests were positive
and may lead to additional testing and a subsequent horizontal drilling program.
Capital expenditures on onshore properties were $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including $1.2
million in drilling costs. To date, Dundee Energy has drilled one vertical development well and one re-entry horizontal sidetrack
well. While initial results are encouraging, the re-entry horizontal well came back into production late in the quarter at 42 bbl/d
and has subsequently settled in at 18 bbl/d. Dundee Energy is still testing the vertical development well to evaluate its economic
viability. In addition to these drilling activities, Dundee Energy expended $0.1 million in final costs associated with two
workovers commenced in late 2013 and $0.3 million on efficiency and equipment upgrades to onshore facilities.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 20
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee Energy incurred costs of $0.7 million on completing 2-D and 3-D
seismic work, which had been started in late 2013, and $2.1 million on two exploration wells on certain undeveloped land. The
vertical exploration well requires further testing and analyses to determine flow rates and its economic viability. The second
exploration well, in which Dundee Energy is a non-operating 50% working interest partner, has shown good test results to date.
Dundee Energy and the operator of this well are currently working on a plan to tie-in this well, in order to bring it into production
in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Demand Revolving Credit Facility
A subsidiary of Dundee Energy has established a $70.0 million credit facility with a Canadian Schedule I Chartered Bank. The
credit facility is structured as a demand revolving loan, and is subject to a tiered interest rate structure that varies based on the net
debt to cash flow ratio generated by the subsidiary. Based on current ratios, draws on the credit facility bear interest at prime
plus 3.5% for loans and letters of credit or, for bankers’ acceptances, at the bankers’ acceptance rate plus 4.5%. At September
30, 2014, an aggregate of $64.0 million had been drawn against the facility.
UNITED HYDROCARBON INTERNATIONAL CORP.
UHI (www.unitedhydrocarbon.com), is a private Canadian company engaged in oil and gas exploration, development and
production activities in the Republic of Chad. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation held 49.9 million shares of UHI
representing a 35% equity interest. In addition to its equity investment, at September 30, 2014, the Corporation had advanced
$241.7 million to UHI, including $201.7 million advanced pursuant to the terms of senior secured convertible debentures issued
by UHI and carrying an interest rate of 12% per annum, and $40.0 million advanced pursuant to promissory notes bearing interest
at prime plus 2%. The Corporation also holds certain common share purchase warrants. The Corporation’s equity interest,
combined with advances to UHI, and the granting to the Corporation of share purchase warrants, provides the Corporation with
the ability to control the business activities of UHI and accordingly, the Corporation accounts for its investment in UHI on a
consolidated basis.
UHI has entered into a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) with the government of the Republic of Chad through its wholly-
owned subsidiary, United Hydrocarbon Chad Ltd. Specific details outlining the terms of the PSC are provided on pages 18 and
19 of the management’s discussion and analysis accompanying the Corporation’s 2013 Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements. The PSC provides UHI with the exclusive right to explore and develop oil and gas reserves in four distinct
contractual zones: the DOC Block and the DOD Block (together the “Doba Basin”); the Lake Chad Block; and the Largeau
Block. UHI is currently focusing its efforts on the DOC, DOD and Lake Chad Blocks, and will evaluate the Largeau Block as
part of its long-term strategy as the Largeau Block is more remote and relatively unexplored.

Doba Basin Exploration and Development Program
The Doba Basin is located in southern Chad and includes both the DOC and DOD Blocks. Two oil discoveries from previous
operators in the Doba Basin, at Belanga and M’Biku, are situated in close proximity to producing fields currently operated by
Exxon. In 2013, United Hydrocarbon Chad Ltd. procured a rig contract and a rig service contract in anticipation of beginning
exploration work initially focused on these existing discoveries. The rig was mobilized late in 2013 and drilling began in January
2014. To date, UHI has drilled nine wells in the Doba Basin, including three wells drilled at a combined cost of $19.7 million
during the third quarter of 2014.
Drilling activities resulted in four successful oil appraisal wells at Belanga, one new oil discovery close by at an area named Lara,
three cased oil wells and one dry hole. In the first half of 2014, UHI completed a 146 km2 3-D seismic program over the Belanga
oil discovery and a 57 km2 3-D seismic program over the M’Biku oil discovery. The processing and interpretation of the Belanga
3-D seismic data was recently completed and will be used to define future drilling locations. The data from the M’Biku 3-D
program was recently processed and the interpretation is in progress. UHI also acquired an additional 174 kilometres of 2-D
seismic on other areas of the DOC and DOD Blocks to refine existing exploration prospects.
With completion of the recent technical work, UHI is proceeding with development of the Belanga and Lara discoveries, which
will include the filing of an application with the government of the Republic of Chad for an exploitation development area
encompassing both discoveries. Planning is underway to order long lead-time items required to produce up to 15,000 bbl/d from
the Doba Basin area by the beginning of 2016. With the expectation of near-term production, UHI has initiated discussions with
third parties to gain access to the export pipeline system in order to carry any production to market.
Lake Chad Block
Two oil discoveries from previous operators within the 1.8 million acres Lake Chad Block are included in the PSC, namely the
Kumia and Kanem discoveries. In addition, and with 7,400 kilometres of 2-D seismic data, previous operators identified
approximately 200 other exploration leads or prospects on the block. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, UHI
prepared an environmental impact study and conducted reconnaissance visits to Lake Chad to prepare for the commencement of
its exploration program, which is expected to begin by the middle of 2015.
Cash Resources
UHI does not generate revenue from operations and it currently relies on its ability to raise funds through capital markets or
through debt from the Corporation. There can be no assurance that UHI will be successful in raising alternative funds to support
future operations. During September 2014, the Corporation and UHI announced that they had engaged Wells Fargo Securities,
LLC and Goodman Merchant Capital Inc. as financial advisors in conjunction with the raising of up to US$250 million pursuant
to a private placement, the proceeds of which will be deployed by UHI in connection with its ongoing oil-focused exploration
and development programs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
UHI currently capitalizes costs that are directly related to its exploration work, including all costs incurred in Chad, as well as
certain costs incurred at head office that relate specifically to the project in Chad.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and in recognition of the contribution made by the Corporation towards an oil
discovery as outlined previously, UHI awarded 20,000,000 treasury shares to the Corporation, with a value of $10.0 million.
Concurrently, the board of directors of UHI amended the terms of certain outstanding warrants for the issuance of common
shares of UHI, accelerating the vesting criteria and resulting in the recognition of compensation expense of $9.0 million. These
transactions resulted in the recognition of expenses aggregating $19.0 million, significantly contributing to losses of $2.0 million
and $24.5 million incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively (three months ended
September 30, 2013 – $2.5 million). For consolidation purposes, and in accordance with accounting requirements, the $10.0
million expense related to the discovery bonus paid by UHI to the Corporation has been eliminated against revenues earned
directly by the Corporation.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 22
DUNDEE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Dundee Sustainable Technologies Inc. (formerly Nichromet Extraction Inc.) (“Dundee Technologies”)
(www.dundeetechnologies.com) is engaged in the development of new technologies for treatment of refractory ores. Dundee
Technologies has developed proprietary hydrometallurgical processes for the extraction of base and precious metals from ores,
concentrates and tailings, which cannot be exploited with conventional processes because of internal refractoriness or
environmental considerations.
Cyanidation, a commonly used way of processing gold, produces a large amount of highly contaminated tailings. Dundee
Technologies uses a patented innovative approach, chlorination, to extract precious metals. In addition to environmental benefits,
the cyanide-free process allows the exploitation of gold deposits that are not extractable using conventional methods. The
primary benefits of this new technology are shorter processing times, reduced emissions due to lower energy consumption, and
increased mining productivity by reclaiming process waste and remediating tailings.
The process developed by Dundee Technologies has been recognized as a “green technology”, for which it has been awarded a
$5.7 million grant for the construction of a demonstration plant, including $0.7 million from the Government of Quebec and $5.0
million from the Government of Canada through its Sustainable Development Technology Fund. Construction of the
demonstration plant, which commenced in June 2013, is budgeted at $27.0 million. The design has been completed and the
commissioning of the demonstration facilities is scheduled for completion by the end of March 2015. The demonstration plant
will have a capacity of 15 tonnes per day in order to assess, on an industrial scale, the chlorination extraction technology under
continuous operating conditions. This pre-commercialization demonstration plant will serve as a reference for the establishment
of full-scale plants operating with the same technology. At September 30, 2014, Dundee Technologies had expended $9.5
million towards completion of the demonstration plant.
In the short term, the Dundee Technologies business model encompasses the licensing of its chlorination extraction technology to
third parties in exchange for a royalty interest. Cyanide has been banned for usage by many countries and there are a significant
number of gold ore bodies that are dormant for lack of a process that can extract gold without cyanide. As the technology is of
particular interest to gold mining companies, the price of gold will be a significant factor in Dundee Technologies’ future
business development.
Reflective of its current stage of development, Dundee Technologies does not report any revenue. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, it incurred a net loss of $7.1 million (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – $2.7 million) including $2.5
million incurred during the third quarter of 2014 (three months ended September 30, 2013 – $0.9 million). Year-to-date costs
include $6.5 million relating to the cost of the demonstration plant, of which $2.1 million was incurred during the third quarter of
2014.
Acquisition of Resources Properties
On April 1, 2014, Dundee Technologies completed a three cornered amalgamation with Creso Exploration Inc. (“Creso”), a
mineral resource company with its principal mining exploration holdings located at the Shining Tree mining camp in northern
Ontario, following which Dundee Technologies indirectly acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Creso that
it did not already own. On April 8, 2014, the subordinate voting shares of the newly amalgamated Dundee Technologies began
trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: DST). The Corporation retains multiple voting shares of Dundee
Technologies, which are convertible, at the option of the Corporation, into subordinate voting shares of Dundee Technologies, for
no additional consideration. The multiple voting shares of Dundee Technologies are not listed on a stock exchange. At
September 30, 2014, and following completion of the amalgamation as outlined above, the Corporation owned 128.1 million
subordinate voting shares and 50.0 million multiple voting shares of Dundee Technologies, giving the Corporation a 64% equity
interest and an 86% voting interest in Dundee Technologies.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 23
In connection with the amalgamation of Creso as outlined above, Dundee Technologies acquired land interests previously held by
Creso, including a land package which Creso had acquired through staking or optioning large areas of ground adjacent to its
100% interests in the Tyranite, Minto, Duggan and Mann properties in the Shining Tree camp of northern Ontario. At the time of
completion of the amalgamation, Dundee Technologies determined that the fair value of these acquired resource properties was
$22.1 million. The acquisition of Creso may provide Dundee Technologies with an opportunity to develop the underlying gold
deposits located on these lands, using Dundee Technologies’ technological processes.
EUROGAS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Eurogas International Inc. (“Eurogas International”) (www.eurogasinternational.com), is a publicly traded (CSE: EI) oil and
natural gas exploration company. In June 2003, Eurogas International entered into a joint operating agreement with Atlas
Petroleum Exploration Worldwide Ltd. (“APEX”), pursuant to which Eurogas International and APEX (jointly, the “Original
Contractors”) agreed to undertake exploration, appraisal and extraction activities on the Sfax permit (“Sfax Permit”), which
currently covers approximately 800,000 acres in the shallow Mediterranean waters in the Gulf of Gabes, offshore Tunisia and
southeast of the city of Sfax. Eurogas International held a 45% working interest in the arrangement. APEX held the remaining
55% working interest, and was the operator of the project.
In January 2014, Eurogas International completed a farmout agreement with DNO Tunisia AS (“DNO” and the “DNO
Agreement”) with respect to the Sfax Permit and the associated Ras El Besh development concession. The DNO Agreement
provides for DNO acquiring an 87.5% working interest in the Sfax Permit in exchange for an upfront, non-refundable cash
payment of US$6 million to the Original Contractors, and the carrying of 100% of all future costs associated with the Sfax
Permit. Under the terms of the DNO Agreement, and with the approval of the Tunisian authorities, DNO has also contractually
assumed full responsibility for all drilling obligations associated with the Sfax Permit, including any compensatory payments that
may arise as a result of non-compliance. In that regard, DNO has provided a full guarantee to the Tunisian governmental
authorities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Eurogas International received cash of $2.9 million (US$2.7
million), representing its proportionate share of the cash received at closing. Amounts received by Eurogas International were
deducted from the carrying value of Eurogas International’s exploration and evaluation properties, which at September 30, 2014
was $9.1 million (December 31, 2013 – $11.9 million).
Under the terms of the DNO Agreement, the Original Contractors will be entitled to 12.5% of the profit oil or profit gas
component of production from the Sfax Permit, to a maximum of US$125 million (or 12.5% of the profit oil or profit gas from
the production of 75 million barrel of oil equivalents, whichever comes first). Thereafter, the Original Contractors are entitled to
6.25% of the profit oil or profit gas component of production from the Sfax Permit to a maximum of an additional US$75 million
(or 6.25% of the profit oil or profit gas component from the production of an additional 45 million barrel of oil equivalents,
whichever comes first). Eurogas International is entitled to 45% of any payments made to the Original Contractors under these
arrangements.
The Original Contractors have conceded a temporary deferral of 50% of their entitlement to a share of the profit oil or profit gas
component of production from the Sfax Permit, as outlined above, until such time as DNO recovers $150 million of total incurred
costs, including costs to be incurred by DNO subsequent to completion of the DNO Agreement, from the cost oil or cost gas
component of production on the Sfax Permit. In addition to their entitlement to a share of the profit oil or profit gas, the DNO
Agreement also provides the Original Contractors with entitlement to receive 20% of the cost oil or cost gas component of
production from the Sfax Permit, to a maximum of the lesser of 18% of the costs incurred by the Original Contractors prior to
completion of the DNO Agreement, or US$20 million.
Subsequent to September 30, 2014, DNO began the drilling of the Jawhara-3 well, the first of several exploration and appraisal
wells planned by DNO on the Sfax Permit. The Jawhara-3 well will be drilled four kilometres north of the Jawhara-1 discovery
well, which flowed 1,500 barrels of oil per day, and will test the Douleb and Bireno reservoirs in the up dip Jawhara structure. A
second exploration well is anticipated in the first half of 2015.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 24
In prior years, the Original Contractors had entered into a farmout option agreement with a third party in respect of the Sfax
Permit. The third party subsequently exited the farmout option agreement and under a settlement agreement, the third party
forfeited its entitlement under the farmout option agreement in exchange for a portion of certain payments, if and when received
by the Original Contractors, to a maximum of $20 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Eurogas International incurred a loss before income taxes of $0.8 million
(nine months ended September 30, 2013 – $0.6 million).
BLUE GOOSE CAPITAL CORP.
Blue Goose (www.bluegoosepurefoods.com) is a Canadian private company focused on the production, distribution and sale of
organic and natural beef, chicken and fish. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation held an 86% interest in Blue Goose.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Blue Goose incurred a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee
Corporation of $17.9 million. This compares with a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee Corporation of $7.1 million in
the same period of the prior year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Blue Goose has been executing a restructuring of its operations following a
two-year period of intense growth and expansion, including the completion of a substantial number of acquisitions. Under new
leadership, Blue Goose has been re-engineering certain processes to lower operating costs, it has initiated a shift in the
company’s marketing strategy (away from selling only to national retailers to selling to national retailers and higher-margin
restaurant, specialty store, and export customers), and it began selling non-core assets and surplus inventory. Included in the net
loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were costs of $11.5 million relating to these initiatives, of which $6.0
million have been included in the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as “Cost of sales” as they relate to
the usability of previously stockpiled inventory and $5.5 million as “Depreciation and depletion”, reflecting changes in the
estimated useful lives and ultimate recoverability of property, plant and equipment.

Contribution Margins
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Blue Goose incurred negative contribution margins of $6.1 million on sales
of $61.4 million, compared with a positive contribution margin of $1.0 million on sales of $28.3 million in the same period of the
prior year.
Contribution margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were adversely affected by a $6.0 million reduction in
the estimated recoverable amount of stockpiled inventory, including associated compost and fertilizer inventory, and feed
inventory. These losses were offset by the recognition of an $11.0 million gain in the estimated fair value of livestock recorded
during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily attributable to growth of the cattle herd. This compares to an
estimated fair value gain of $6.8 million recognized in the same period of the prior year.
Blue Goose’s abattoir, located in British Columbia, received full federal certification in August 2013, allowing it to sell its
products across the country. Accordingly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Blue Goose opted to sell its entire
northern Ontario 1,300 cattle herd, weighing roughly 554,000 kilograms, for revenue of $1.7 million, in order to concentrate its
beef operations out of the province of British Columbia and in proximity to the abattoir. Excluding the impact of the sale of the
northern Ontario cattle herd, beef unit sales decreased marginally to 1.1 million kilograms during the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, compared with beef unit sales of 1.2 million kilograms in the same period of the prior year. Despite the
marginal decrease in volumes, revenues from beef sales were $11.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014
(excluding the sale of the northern Ontario cattle herd), compared with $7.5 million in the same period of the prior year,
reflecting the sale of higher quality cuts of beef in the current period for which Blue Goose was able to demand higher prices.
Beef contribution margins, before the effect of fair value changes, were negative $6.6 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, compared with negative contribution margins of $5.9 million incurred during the same period of the prior
year.
Blue Goose has grown its sales of organic and natural chicken in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, through expanded
sales capabilities and by cross-selling to its existing client base within existing channels. Blue Goose continues taking the
necessary steps to improve margins in the chicken division by finding cost efficiencies through strategic relationships and by
eliminating duplicate chicken processing and distribution costs as much as possible.
The cultivation and subsequent sales of natural and organic fish product in Blue Goose’s aquaculture business is cyclical in
nature. During the spring and summer months, significant costs are incurred to promote growth of fish stock, with sales
anticipated in the remaining months of the year and early into the following year. Having experienced significant physical
growth during the spring and summer of 2014, fish stocks are essentially ready for market, and shipments are expected to be
robust during the remainder of the year.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Changes in the Carrying Value of Land and Other Capital Assets
Blue Goose has acquired high quality, productive land acreage that is fully irrigated, and which provides quality hay for winter
cattle feeding. Blue Goose landholdings are comprised of over 1.1 million acres, including both freehold (deeded) acres and
leasehold acreage in British Columbia, Ontario and Colorado.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 26
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Blue Goose reassessed the usefulness of, and recoverable amount of land
assets attributed to its beef operations in northern Ontario. As a consequence, land carrying values were reduced by $3.8 million
early in 2014 and Blue Goose took measures to divest itself of non-strategic landholdings. During the third quarter of 2014, Blue
Goose successfully sold approximately 2,000 acres of land for $3.2 million. While Blue Goose intends to sell its remaining
landholdings in northern Ontario, the upcoming winter season could delay the completion of this initiative.
Blue Goose previously developed a fertilizer plant through which it had intended to package and distribute fertilizer by-products
of its organic and natural protein production. At December 31, 2013, the fertilizer plant asset had a net book value of $2.1
million. During the early part of 2014, Blue Goose reassessed the production capacity of the plant in light of market distribution
initiatives and determined that its carrying amount should be reduced by $1.7 million. Blue Goose intends to sell this plant when
a suitable buyer is found.
Changes in Livestock Carrying Values
Blue Goose has increased its herd count to 12,603 as at September 30, 2014, up from 12,122 at December 31, 2013. In addition
to its organic cattle herds in British Columbia, Blue Goose had expanded its herd of Wagyu cattle (more commonly known as
“Kobe beef”) which it produces through Emma Farms Cattle Company (“Emma Farms”) in Colorado and Oklahoma. At
September 30, 2014, Emma Farms had a herd size of 874 purebred Wagyu. The Wagyu beef product is in high demand by
upscale restaurants throughout the United States.
Corporate Debt
Blue Goose and its subsidiaries have entered into several loan arrangements including a $14.8 million fixed term facility
maturing July 1, 2027 and bearing interest at 5.2% annually. This term loan is secured by a first charge mortgage against various
real estate assets held by Blue Goose and by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blue Goose. In addition, Blue Goose has
established a $10.0 million fixed term facility secured by ranch property in western Canada. The fixed term facility bears interest
at 3.05% per annum.

Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blue Goose have entered into various credit facilities for up to $23.5 million with certain
Canadian Schedule I Chartered Banks. Borrowings under these arrangements bear interest at a rate per annum ranging from the
bank’s prime lending rate plus 0.50% to 1.30%. The facilities are secured by general security agreements against the assets of
each respective subsidiary and are guaranteed by Blue Goose. Certain of these loan arrangements require that Blue Goose and its
subsidiaries meet financial debt covenants customary to such loan arrangements, including the maintenance of certain interest
coverage ratios in excess of specified amounts and covenants that limit the amount of liabilities that may be assumed by Blue
Goose and its subsidiaries. These loan arrangements also oblige Blue Goose to comply with certain reporting requirements,
including the delivery of financial information and debt covenant certification as provided for in the loan agreements. During the
second quarter of 2014, Blue Goose experienced an increase in leverage and as such, at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014,
Blue Goose exceeded its maximum leverage threshold, and it did not comply with the associated compliance requirements. Blue
Goose is currently in negotiations with the lender and is endeavouring to comply with the delivery of financial information as
required by such arrangements.
On October 1, 2013, Blue Goose’s U.S. subsidiary secured a 4.70% US$6.0 million real estate loan secured against land in
Colorado and a US$1.0 million variable interest rate operating line secured against the assets of the U.S. subsidiary. Both
facilities are guaranteed by Blue Goose.
In aggregate, at September 30, 2014, Blue Goose and its subsidiaries had drawn $52.4 million (December 31, 2013 – $50.0
million) pursuant to these various loan arrangements.
AGRIMARINE HOLDINGS INC.
AgriMarine Holdings Inc. (www.agrimarine.com) (“AgriMarine”) is a CSE listed company (CSE:FSH), specializing in
conventional and innovative fish farming, and in developing sustainable aquaculture technologies.
On July 3, 2014, the Corporation completed the conversion of three convertible notes to acquire 102,490,753 common shares of
AgriMarine. The convertible notes, which had an aggregate principal value of $18.5 million and aggregate accrued and unpaid
interest of $2.2 million, were issued to the Corporation in connection with a series of loans advanced to AgriMarine in 2013.
When aggregated with the Corporation’s existing position, the Corporation now owns or controls 103,709,086 shares of
AgriMarine, representing an approximate 94.5% interest. The Corporation has determined that the exercise of the convertible
notes is a transaction that represents a business combination, with the Corporation as the acquirer of AgriMarine. Accordingly,
the Corporation began consolidating the operating results, cash flow and net assets of AgriMarine from the date of the exercise of
the conversion right.
The aggregate purchase consideration for AgriMarine was $20.9 million. A summary of the allocation of the aggregate
consideration transferred to the fair value of the various identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is provided below. The
determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired are preliminary and may be revised when estimates and
assumptions and the valuations of assets and liabilities are finalized within 12 months of the respective acquisition date.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 28
The Corporation has attributed a value of $14.7 million to intangible assets acquired. Included in intangible assets are certain
patents and trademarks developed and registered by AgriMarine and associated with its semi-closed floating rearing container
technology developed to improve fish farming practices. This intangible asset will be amortized over its expected useful life. The
remaining $1.1 million intangible asset relates to a farming license. The farming license is not amortized as it is considered to
have an indefinite life based on AgriMarine’s intent and ability to renew the license without substantial cost or material
modification to the existing terms and conditions.
In December of 2013, AgriMarine acquired West Coast Fishculture (Lois Lake) Ltd. (“WCFC”), the premier producer and
supplier of steelhead salmon in British Columbia. WCFC has built up a brand name that is recognized for its quality and
sustainability. WCFC conforms to United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s Code of Conduct for Responsible
Fisheries, while its Lois Lake steelhead brand is “Ocean Wise™ recommended” by the Vancouver Aquarium as an ocean-
friendly seafood choice. AgriMarine has installed four semi-closed containment tanks at WCFC’s farm at Lois Lake, BC, which
have been fully commissioned subsequent to September 30, 2014. Lois Lake offers an optimal sheltered site with excellent water
quality that can support the installation of the rearing tanks, where AgriMarine will focus on accelerated crop turnover and
demonstrate the anticipated performance benefits of its semi-closed containment technology. AgriMarine will continue to
assemble and install tanks as WCFC expands operations. AgriMarine also has a production facility located in Benxi County,
Liaoning Province, China (“Benxi AgriMarine”). Benxi AgriMarine is in active production of salmon and trout for the local
market and continues to modernize and upgrade its production facilities and processes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, AgriMarine incurred a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee
Corporation of $2.5 million. Included in the third quarter loss is a $1.2 million writedown of its biological assets and inventory,
largely due to extraordinary mortalities of salmon at its net pen fish farming sites, resulting from unusually high surface water
temperatures over the summer months. With the installation of the technologically advanced containment tanks to replace the net
pens, these adverse environmental effects should be largely mitigated in the future as the containment tanks provide better
temperature control and a more favourable environment for growth.

Contribution Margins
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, AgriMarine incurred negative contribution margins of $1.5 million on sales
of $1.6 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, AgriMarine generated revenue of $1.6 million and contribution margins
before fair value changes and writedowns of approximately 7% or $0.1 million. The volume of fish sold during the three months
ended September 30, 2014 was 238,000 kilograms, representing an average selling price of $6.83 per kilogram. The cost of sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1.5 million or $6.35 per kilogram sold.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, AgriMarine had a reduction in fair value for its biological assets of $0.4
million, of which $0.3 million was due to the increased estimated cost of harvest, given the higher mortality rate presented in the
current fish stocks as a result of higher surface water temperatures during the summer, as previously outlined. Along with the
new tanks being commissioned at Lois Lake, AgriMarine is also working to rapidly regrow the biomass at its farm sites.
OTHER CONSOLIDATED BALANCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
General and Administrative Expenses
Generally, head office costs, including costs associated with corporate governance and related public company costs, are
accumulated and reported as head office costs and are not allocated to other operating segments. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, the Corporation incurred general and administrative expenses of $4.7 million, compared with general and
administrative expenses of $23.7 million incurred in the same period of the prior year.
As part of the distribution of Dundee Realty completed in May 2013, the Corporation adjusted the settlement terms of its stock
based compensation arrangements to provide holders of such incentive arrangements with an equivalent distribution entitlement
provided to other shareholders as part of the distribution. These adjustments to stock based compensation arrangements are
recognized as liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net earnings. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2014, the fair value of these liabilities decreased by $9.7 million, with a corresponding reduction in stock based
compensation expense.
In addition to the effect of stock based compensation, and following an assessment of ongoing operational results, the
Corporation also adjusted its estimate of incentive compensation. This assessment further reduced liabilities previously accrued
by $6.0 million, with a corresponding reduction in general and administrative expenses.

Corporate Interest Expense
Corporate interest expense, before intersegment eliminations, was $6.5 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2014, a $4.9 million decrease from the $11.4 million of interest expense incurred in the same period of the prior year, reflecting a
decrease in average borrowings over the respective periods.
Income Tax Recovery
The Corporation’s effective income tax recovery rate was 9.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (nine months
ended September 30, 2013 – 29.2%). This effective income tax recovery rate is significantly different than the statutory
combined federal and provincial tax rate of 26.5% and can be attributed primarily to losses incurred by certain subsidiaries, the
benefit of which was not recognized in the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as to the non-
taxable portion of losses realized on the disposition of certain of the Corporation’s investments.
Net Deferred Income Tax Liabilities
The Corporation’s net deferred income tax liabilities at September 30, 2014 were $69.9 million, and represent deferred income
tax liabilities of $110.6 million, offset by deferred income tax assets of $40.7 million. This compares to net deferred income tax
liabilities of $75.2 million at December 31, 2013. Components of the Corporation’s net deferred income tax liabilities are
detailed in note 28 to the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred income tax liabilities decreased
as a result of declines in the market value of the Corporation’s investments, as well as the divestiture of certain of the
Corporation’s investments. These declines were partially offset by the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities associated
with the acquisitions of Dundee 360 and AgriMarine.
The Corporation’s aggregate income tax loss carry forwards at September 30, 2014 were $225.1 million (December 31, 2013 –
$80.6 million). Included in the Corporation’s deferred income tax balances is a deferred tax asset of $16.1 million (December 31,
2013 – $8.9 million) in respect of these tax losses.
Corporate Debt
On January 23, 2014, as amended on June 9, 2014 and June 27, 2014, the Corporation established a credit facility for up to $205
million. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had drawn $32.6 million against these arrangements.
On November 13, 2014, the Corporation established a $300 million, three-year revolving term credit facility with a syndicate of
Canadian Schedule I Chartered Banks. Concurrently, the Corporation repaid amounts outstanding pursuant to its previously
established credit arrangements, and borrowing availabilities under previous arrangements were terminated. Borrowings under
the $300 million credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate for loans plus 0.45% or, at the
Corporation’s option, at the prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate or London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.45%.
Draws against the $300 million credit facility are contingent on, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios
relating to the fair value of certain of the Corporation’s investments, and are subject to other customary restrictions, including
restrictions on the existence of other secured indebtedness. The Corporation has granted a first ranking security over all of its
assets as security against amounts borrowed under these arrangements.

Share Capital
Preference Shares
In accordance with the terms of the Corporation’s Preference Shares, series 2, on August 26, 2014, the Corporation announced
that it did not intend to exercise its right to redeem the Preference Shares, series 2 and accordingly, holders had the right, at their
option, to convert all or part of their Preference Shares, series 2 on a one-for-one basis into Preference Shares, series 3.
Shareholders who did not exercise their right to convert retained their Preference Shares, series 2, subject to the 5.688% dividend
rate applicable to the Preference Shares, series 2 for the 5-year period commencing on September 30, 2014 to, but excluding
September 30, 2019. Of the 5,200,000 Preference Shares, series 2 outstanding prior to the exercise of the conversion right,
1,720,615 shares with a face value of $43.0 million were converted on September 30, 2014 to Preference Shares, series 3. At
September 30, 2014, an aggregate 3,479,385 Preference Shares, series 2 remained outstanding.
The 1,720,615 Preference Shares, series 3 issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares, series 2 have an initial 5.04%
dividend rate, and, in accordance with their terms, are subject to a quarterly floating rate of interest based on the three-month

using the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Class A subordinate voting shares of the Corporation for the
period ended on the trading day preceding the entering into of the plan of arrangement pursuant to which the acquisition of
Dundee 360 was completed.
On April 7, 2014, the Corporation announced that it had received regulatory approval for the renewal of its normal course issuer
bid from April 8, 2014 to April 7, 2015. The normal course issuer bid allows the Corporation to purchase up to a maximum of
2,550,098 Class A subordinate voting shares for subsequent cancellation, representing approximately 5% of the public float at the
time approval for the normal course issuer bid was granted. In May 2014, the Corporation purchased 615,000 Class A
subordinate voting shares pursuant to the terms of its normal course issuer bid at a cost of $10 million.

As at September 30, 2014, the Corporation had granted 1,237,500 options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.40, all of
which were exercisable as holders had met the vesting requirements. Outstanding stock option arrangements expire in February
2015. Each option entitles the holder thereof, upon payment of the associated exercise price, to one Class A subordinate voting
share of the Corporation and to the value of one Class A subordinate voting share of DREAM Unlimited Corp. which value may
be settled, at the option of the Corporation, in cash or in additional Class A subordinate voting shares of the Corporation with a
value, at the time of the exercise of the option, equal to the value of the Class A subordinate voting share of DREAM Unlimited
Corp.
In addition to outstanding options, at September 30, 2014, there were 1,252,452 deferred share units outstanding under the
Corporation’s deferred share unit plan, each deferred share unit of which tracks the value of the Corporation’s Class A
subordinate voting shares. In addition, the Corporation had awarded 1,332,430 deferred share units that track the value of a Class
A subordinate voting share of DREAM Unlimited Corp.
The terms of the Corporation’s share based compensation arrangements are summarized in note 24 to the Corporation’s 2013
Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at September 30, 2014, the Corporation had cash of $156.0 million, compared with cash of $183.8 million at December 31,
2013. Included in the Corporation’s consolidated cash balance is $103.9 million of cash used in the operating business of the
Corporation’s asset management and brokerage subsidiaries. These subsidiaries function in regulated environments and are
therefore required to maintain levels of capital in liquid assets, in accordance with regulatory requirements. The amount of
capital that exists within these regulated entities may dictate the level of business operations, including margin lending, securities
trading and corporate finance commitments. Furthermore, the ability to transfer cash resources out of these regulated subsidiaries
may be limited by their requirement to comply with regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2014 and December 31,
2013, the Corporation’s regulated subsidiaries exceeded their minimum regulatory capital requirements.
As previously discussed, Blue Goose experienced an increase in leverage and as such, at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014,
Blue Goose exceeded its maximum leverage threshold, and it did not comply with the associated compliance requirements. Blue
Goose is currently in negotiations with lenders and is endeavouring to comply with the delivery of financial information as
required by such arrangements.
Significant Sources and Uses of Cash
Significant transactions affecting cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013,
excluding cash flows associated with discontinued operations, are discussed below.
Significant Cash Flows – Operating Activities
* Adjusted net earnings are equal to net earnings or loss adjusted for net earnings from discontinued operations, gain on distribution of assets, dividends received
from discontinued operations and items not affecting cash and other adjustments.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 2013
Operating activities:
Adjusted net earnings* (29,238)$ (33,915)$
Changes in balances relating to investment dealer activities (5,110) 32,762
Changes in agricultural inventory 14,247 2,901
Changes in other working capital amounts (10,290) (7,716)
Changes in income taxes 30,500 (29,357)
Cash provided from (used in) operating activities 109$ (35,325)$
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 33
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, balances related to investment dealer activities, including client account
balances and brokerage securities owned and sold short resulted in net cash outflow of $5.1 million (nine months ended
September 30, 2013 – $32.8 million of net cash inflow). The effect of changes in balances related to investment dealer
activities will vary significantly on a day-to-day basis to reflect the underlying business activities undertaken in that period.
Cash flows from period to period resulting from these types of transactions may not necessarily reflect any meaningful
change in the Corporation’s financial position, or that of its subsidiaries.
Changes in agricultural inventory balances resulted in cash inflow of $14.2 million (nine months ended September 30, 2013
– $2.9 million).
Changes in other working capital amounts and changes in cash relating to the Corporation’s income tax positions reflect
changes in the underlying level of business activities.
Significant Cash Flows – Investing Activities
Cash required or derived from trading in the Corporation’s investment portfolio, including equity accounted investments,
will vary from period to period and is dependent on trading activity and strategies that may evolve in response to global
market conditions or otherwise. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation generated net cash of
$140.5 million from trading in its investment portfolio (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – $308.5 million). Included
in these cash flows is $199.7 million from the sale of units of DREAM Office REIT and DREAM Global REIT, which was
completed in July 2014.

Cash Requirements
The Corporation’s capital management and funding objectives include ensuring that the Corporation is compliant with all of its
ongoing obligations, including compliance with all applicable debt covenants, and ensuring that the Corporation is able to meet
its financial obligations as they become due. In determining its capital allocation, the Corporation considers relevant regulatory
capital requirements in order to effectively manage its capital markets business, and resources required for the development of
resource, agricultural and real estate opportunities. The Corporation’s capital management objectives also include ensuring that it
has sufficient capital available to benefit from acquisitions and other opportunities, should they arise, and ensuring adequate
returns for shareholders. The Corporation regularly assesses the allocation of its capital resources in response to changing
economic conditions.
The Corporation’s intention is to meet short-term liquidity requirements through funds from operations, working capital reserves
and operating debt facilities. In addition, the Corporation anticipates that its operations will continue to provide the cash
necessary to fund expenses and debt service requirements. Capital may also be generated through dispositions of investments as
the Corporation repositions its investment portfolio in a manner consistent with its stated strategy to maintain a conservative level
of debt, while ensuring that sufficient capital is available to execute the Corporation’s business plan at all times.
On a consolidated basis, the Corporation believes that operating cash flow, combined with available lines of credit and its
portfolio of investments, provide sufficient cash resources for the Corporation to conduct its operations for the foreseeable future,
including supporting the capital requirements of its regulated subsidiaries, funding the payment of dividends and interest
payments on preference shares and debt obligations, and supporting subsidiaries in order to remedy excess leverage situations, if
the need arises. On an ongoing basis, the Corporation may also require cash to develop its energy, resource, agricultural and real
estate initiatives or to invest in other opportunities, including growth opportunities related to its portfolio of investments. If
required, the Corporation may consider alternative financing options for certain investment initiatives, including possible debt or
equity issuances.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 37
Consistent with year-to-date results, approximately $42.9 million of the decline in value of the portfolio reflects a decline in the
trading value of Class A subordinate voting shares of DREAM, while $5.4 million of the quarterly decline relates to the
Corporation’s investment in African Minerals Ltd. Quarterly results were also impacted by $16.5 million of depreciation in the
Corporation’s investments in DREAM Office REIT and DREAM Global REIT, prior to their sale in early July 2014.
DUNDEE SECURITIES LTD.
During the third quarter of 2014, Dundee Securities generated a net loss attributable to the owners of Dundee Corporation of $7.2
million, compared with $15.2 million incurred during the third quarter of the prior year.
Revenues increased to $23.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with revenues of $9.0 million generated in the same
period of the prior year.
Management fee revenue earned during the third quarter of 2014 was $3.9 million, compared with management fee revenue of
$1.7 million earned during the same period of the prior year. Consistent with year-to-date results, the increase reflects both the
growth in AUM levels, as well as an increase in the number of advisors following completion of the acquisition of retail advisors
in March 2014.
Investment banking revenue more than doubled in the current quarter to $9.5 million, compared with revenue of $4.3 million in
the third quarter of the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in new issue transactions. During the three months ended
September 30, 2014, Dundee Securities participated in 37 (three months ended September 30, 2013 – 24) public and private new
issue transactions with the mining and oil and gas sectors, representing 38% of new issue activity. These new issue financings
generated revenue of $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase over the $3.6 million generated in the same period of
the prior year. Advisory services fees earned in the third quarter of 2014 were $5.0 million, which is also significantly more than
the $0.7 million earned in the third quarter of the prior year.
Commission revenue increased to $11.8 million in the current quarter, compared with $7.9 million earned in the same period of
the prior year. This 50% increase reflects the impact of the new retail advisors added in March 2014.

SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 38
Variable compensation expense was $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $9.0 million in the third quarter of
2013, reflective of the higher revenue in the current quarter. The increase is primarily the result of the higher compensation
levels that are inherent in the acquisition of the new retail advisors and also reflects amounts accrued in the third quarter of the
prior year in excess of the normal payout model due to unusual losses on proprietary inventory positions during that period.
Consistent with year-to-date results, general and administrative expenses increased to $17.5 million in the third quarter of 2014,
compared with $14.7 million incurred in the third quarter of the prior year, reflecting the costs associated with assuming the
business activities of the new retail advisors in March 2014.

Field level cash flows in the third quarter of 2014, before realized risk management contract gains or losses, were $4.1 million, a
12% decrease over field level cash flows of $4.7 million generated in the third quarter of the prior year, primarily reflecting
reduced production volumes and commodity prices for oil and liquids.
Field netbacks in the third quarter of 2014, before realized risk management contracts gain or losses, were $18.02/boe, an 8%
decrease over field netbacks of $19.59/boe generated in the third quarter of the prior year. The decrease was mainly as a result of
lower overall commodity prices. Realized losses resulting from Dundee Energy’s risk management contracts reduced field
netbacks in the third quarter of 2014 by $0.55/boe. In the comparable period of 2013, these contracts reduced field level cash
flows by $0.73/boe.
BLUE GOOSE CAPITAL CORP.
During the third quarter of 2014, Blue Goose incurred a net loss attributable to the owners of the parent of $1.5 million,
compared with a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of $1.8 million incurred in the same quarter of the prior year.
During the third quarter of 2014, Blue Goose generated contribution margins of $1.1 million on revenues of $19.8 million. This
compares with a contribution margin of $2.4 million on revenues of $14.8 million incurred in the same quarter of 2013.
Contribution margins during the third quarter of 2014 were enhanced by the recognition of a $4.0 million gain in the estimated
fair value of livestock, primarily attributable to growth of the fish stock. This compares to an estimated fair value gain of $2.9
million recognized in the same period of the prior year.

CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY BUSINESS TRENDS
In the second quarter of 2013, the Corporation realized a gain from discontinued operations of $599.4 million relating to the
distribution of Dundee Realty. Included in net earnings or losses are amounts reflecting changes in the fair value of the Corporation’s direct investments in
public and private securities. As previously noted, changes in the fair value of investments are determined by equity and
credit markets and are expected to result in significant quarterly fluctuations in net earnings. The Corporation believes that
equity and credit markets do not necessarily correctly reflect the underlying value of certain assets. As a consequence,
management of the Corporation believes that the amount of unrealized gains or losses that will be included in net earnings or
loss in any given period typically provides little analytical or predictive value to the readers of the Corporation’s financial
information. The Corporation’s share of earnings or losses from equity accounted investments is included in net earnings or loss for each
quarter. Earnings or losses from each equity accounted investee and dilution gains and losses from these investments will
fluctuate from period to period and may depend on market forces or other operating conditions that are not necessarily under
the Corporation’s direct control.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and other items in net earnings and the
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates made by management that
are, by their very nature, uncertain.
The Corporation evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that the Corporation believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and other items in net
earnings that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant judgments and estimates made by management in the preparation
of its financial information is provided in note 4 to the 2013 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and is updated in note 4
to the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than as disclosed in note 3 to the September 2014
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no changes in the accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
the Corporation’s September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from those detailed in note 3 to the Corporation’s
2013 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The changes in accounting policies adopted during the first nine months of
2014 did not have a material impact to the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 52-109, and subject to the limitation on scope of
design as outlined below, the Corporation has filed certificates signed by its Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer certifying that, among other things, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and the design of internal control
over financial reporting are adequate as at September 30, 2014.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the
reports it files or submits under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that
such information is accumulated and reported to management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow required disclosures to be made in a timely fashion. Based on their evaluation, and
subject to the limitation on scope as outlined below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of
September 30, 2014, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation have also assessed whether there were any
changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
Subject to the limitation on scope as outlined below, there were no changes identified during their assessment.
Limitation on Scope of Design
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have limited the scope of the design of disclosure controls and
procedures and the design of internal control over financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures of Dundee 360
and AgriMarine, the results of which have been included in the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The
scope of limitation is in accordance with Section 3.3 of National Instrument 52-109, which permits an issuer to limit its design of
disclosure controls and procedures, and the design of internal control over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies and
procedures of a company acquired not more than 365 days before the end of the financial period to which the certificate relates.
A summary of the financial information for each of Dundee 360 and AgriMarine is provided under the sections entitled
“Segmented Results of Operations – Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation” and “Segmented Results of Operations – AgriMarine
Holdings Inc.” respectively.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 42
MANAGING RISK
Except as noted below, there have been no significant changes to the nature and scope of the risks faced by the Corporation as
described in the Corporation’s 2013 Annual Information Form under “Risk Factors” which is available on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com. These business risks should be considered by interested parties when evaluating the Corporation’s performance
and its outlook.
Realization of Real Estate Development Projects including Developments through Real Estate Joint Ventures
The ultimate realization of real estate investments, including Dundee 360’s investments in real estate joint ventures (notes 12 and
13 to the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements) is dependent upon Dundee 360’s ability to retain the
associated development rights, to successfully arrange for the necessary financing to complete the developments, and to the
successful development and use of the tourism assets, or alternatively, sale of the asset. In addition, the success of these real
estate development projects is dependent upon the cooperation of joint venture partners in approving the development plans and
course of action, in obtaining the necessary government approvals and in managing other regulatory and governmental matters.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Dundee Corporation’s public communications may include written or oral forward looking statements. Statements of this type
are included in this MD&A, and may be included in other filings with the Canadian regulators, stock exchanges or in other
communications. All such statements constitute forward looking information within the meaning of securities law and are made
pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of applicable securities laws. Forward looking statements may include, but are not
limited to, statements about anticipated future events or results including comments with respect to the Corporation’s objectives
and priorities for 2014 and beyond, and strategies or further actions with respect to the Corporation, its products and services,
business operations, financial performance and condition. Forward looking statements are statements that are predictive in
nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”,
“believes”, “estimates” or similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Such statements are based on
current expectations of the Corporation’s management and inherently involve numerous risks and uncertainties, known and
unknown, including economic factors and those affecting the financial services, energy, resources, agriculture and real estate
industries generally. The forward looking information contained in this MD&A is presented for the purpose of assisting
shareholders in understanding business and strategic priorities and objectives as at the periods indicated and may not be
appropriate for other purposes.
A number of risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking
statements contained in this MD&A, including, among other factors, those referenced in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the
Corporation’s Annual Information Form, which include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions; the
Corporation’s ability to execute strategic plans and meet financial obligations; the performance of the Corporation’s principal
subsidiaries; the Corporation’s ability to raise additional capital; the Corporation’s ability to create, attract and retain AUM and
AUA; risks relating to trading activities and investments; competition faced by the Corporation; regulation of the Corporation’s
businesses; successful integration of the Corporation with acquired businesses and the realization of any anticipated synergies;
risks associated with the Corporation’s operating businesses and the Corporation’s investment holdings in general, including risks
associated with oil and gas and mining exploration, development and production activities, environmental risks, inflation,
changes in interest rates, commodity prices and other financial exposures; the availability and adequacy of insurance coverage for
the Corporation and its subsidiaries; maintenance of minimum regulatory capital requirements for certain of the Corporation’s
subsidiaries; potential liability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries under securities laws and for violations of investor
suitability requirements; and the ability of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to attract and retain key personnel. The preceding
list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors that may influence actual results, and is compiled based upon information
available as of November 14, 2014.
SEPTEMBER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORATION 43
Forward looking statements contained in this MD&A are based upon assumptions about the future performance of the Canadian,
European and United States economies, which were material factors considered by management when setting Dundee
Corporation’s strategic priorities and objectives. In determining expectations for economic growth in the financial services,
energy, resource, agriculture and real estate sectors, the Corporation considered historical economic data provided by the
Canadian government and its agencies, and market and general economic conditions, which factors are unpredictable and may
impact the Corporation’s performance.
Forward looking statements contained in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and, while forward looking
statements are based on certain assumptions that the Corporation considers reasonable, actual events and results could differ
materially from those expressed or implied by forward looking statements made by the Corporation. Prospective investors are
cautioned to consider these and other factors carefully when making decisions with respect to the Corporation and not place
undue reliance on forward looking statements. Circumstances affecting the Corporation may change rapidly. Except as may be
required by applicable law, the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any such forward
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Corporation has accounted for its acquisition of AgriMarine as a business combination. The aggregate purchase
consideration for AgriMarine was $20,879,000 and included (i) the fair value of certain converted notes, including
outstanding interest thereon, of $20,763,000, and (ii) an aggregate of $116,000, being the fair value of 1,218,333 common
shares of AgriMarine previously held by the Corporation. A summary of the allocation of the aggregate consideration
transferred to the fair value of the various identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is summarized below. The
determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired are preliminary and may be revised when estimates and
assumptions and the valuations of assets and liabilities are finalized within 12 months of the respective acquisition date.
The Corporation has attributed a value of $14,711,000 to intangible assets acquired. Included in intangible assets are certain
patents and trademarks developed and registered by AgriMarine and associated with its semi-closed floating rearing
container technology developed to improve fish farming practices. This intangible asset will be amortized over its expected
useful life. The remaining $1,100,000 intangible asset relates to a farming license. The farming license is not amortized as
it is considered to have an indefinite life based on AgriMarine’s intent and ability to renew the license without substantial
cost or material modification to the existing terms and conditions.

Acquisition of Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation (formerly 360 VOX Corporation) – July 2014
On July 2, 2014, the Corporation completed a plan of arrangement that resulted in the acquisition by the Corporation of all
of the issued and outstanding common shares of Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation (“Dundee 360”) that it did not already
own. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dundee 360 is engaged in the business of developing and managing
international hotel, resort, residential and commercial real estate projects.
Prior to completion of the plan of arrangement, the Corporation held 49,028,138 common shares of Dundee 360,
representing an 18% equity interest. Under the terms of the plan of arrangement, other former shareholders of Dundee 360
exchanged their shares in Dundee 360 for 2,779,983 Class A subordinate voting shares (“Subordinate Shares”) (note 22) of
the Corporation and, upon completion of the plan of arrangement, Dundee 360 became a private, wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Corporation. Prior to completion of the plan of arrangement, the common shares of Dundee 360 traded on the TSX
Venture Exchange under the symbol “VOX”.
The aggregate purchase consideration for Dundee 360 was $55,347,000, including (i) the fair value of the Corporation’s
original 18% interest in Dundee 360 at the date of completion of the plan of arrangement, being $9,806,000, and (ii) the fair
value of the 2,779,983 Subordinate Shares of the Corporation on the date of the completion of the plan of arrangement,
being $45,541,000. A summary of the allocation of the aggregate consideration transferred to the fair value of the net assets
acquired in the above transaction is summarized below. The determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired
are preliminary and may be revised when estimates and assumptions and the valuations of assets and liabilities are finalized
within 12 months of the respective acquisition date.
Goodwill
Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill
recorded as part of the acquisition primarily reflects the estimated value of identified future real estate development projects
which are anticipated to result in the formalization of asset management and development contracts in the foreseeable future,
including a project in the Gangwon Province of the Republic of Korea to develop a leisure, tourism and commercial hub
within the East Coast Free Economic Zone. Goodwill has been allocated to the Dundee 360 operating segment.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as at and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2014 (“September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (“IASB”), and with interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”)
which the Canadian Accounting Standards Board has approved for incorporation into Part 1 of the CPA Canada Handbook –
Accounting, as applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard
(“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read
in conjunction with the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31,
2013 (“2013 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”) which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as applicable for
annual financial statements. The September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issuance
by the Board of Directors on November 14, 2014.
The September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements follow the same accounting principles and methods of
application as those disclosed in note 3 to the 2013 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, except as described below.
Policies Adopted Pursuant to Acquisitions Completed During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a
business combination, less accumulated impairment charges, and is allocated to the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) expected
to benefit from the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing. On an annual basis or more frequently if there are
potential indicators of impairment, the carrying value of a CGU, including its allocated goodwill, is compared to its
recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Goodwill impairment, if any,
is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount of a CGU, and is charged to net earnings.
Goodwill impairment charges cannot be reversed for subsequent increases in a CGU’s recoverable amount. Goodwill is
derecognized on disposal of a CGU to which goodwill was previously allocated, with the difference between the proceeds
and carrying value of the CGU (inclusive of goodwill and unrealized balances recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income) recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised primarily of brand, franchise, trademark rights and customer lists, resort development
contracts, construction management contracts, hospitality management agreements, hotel renovation contracts, asset
management agreements, agency relationships and other acquired identifiable non-monetary assets without physical form.
Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost or at fair value when acquired through a business combination, and are
subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, where amortization is calculated using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of those intangible assets with a finite life. The intended use, expected
life and economic benefit to be derived from intangible assets with a finite life are re-evaluated by the Corporation when
there are potential indicators of impairment. Indefinite-life intangible assets are not subject to amortization but are assessed
for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are potential indicators of impairment. If events or changes in
circumstances indicate that a previously recognized impairment loss has decreased or no longer exists, a reversal is
recognized in net earnings to the extent that the carrying amount of the intangible asset after reversal does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have resulted had no impairment taken place.
SEPTEM BER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORAT I ON 55
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets include land and direct costs relating to the underlying development opportunities which are capitalized as
incurred. Direct costs include architectural services, design and engineering services, market studies, feasibility studies, legal
costs, and overhead directly attributable to the development projects. The carrying value of real estate assets are not
amortized and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Revenue Recognition in Dundee 360
Real estate revenue is comprised of (i) commission revenues from brokerage sales of real estate which are recorded on a
gross basis and which are recognized when the parties are bound by the terms of the underlying contracts, all consideration
has been exchanged, all conditions precedent to closing have been performed and transfer of significant risk and rewards of
ownership have occurred; (ii) consulting and management fee revenue which is recognized when earned and realized or
realizable under the terms of the underlying agreement; and (iii) sales and marketing fees and revenue from the sales of
condominium units which are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, usually in the form of any
executed sales agreement, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of units can be
estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the units, and the amount of revenue can be
measured reliably. Revenue from condominium unit sales is recognized in net earnings in proportion to the stage of
completion of the units.
Changes in Accounting Policies Implemented During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
The Corporation has adopted the following new and revised accounting standards, including any consequential amendments
thereto, effective January 1, 2014. Changes in accounting policies adopted by the Corporation were made in accordance
with the applicable transitional provisions as provided in those standards and amendments.
IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” (“IAS 32”)
On January 1, 2014, the Corporation implemented certain amendments to IAS 32 which require the Corporation to provide
clarification on the requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities on the statement of financial position.
The implementation of amendments to IAS 32 had no impact to the Corporation’s September 2014 Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements.
IAS 36, “Impairment of Assets” (“IAS 36”)
On January 1, 2014, the Corporation implemented certain amendments to IAS 36 which require that the Corporation
disclose, if appropriate, the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit, and the basis for the determination of fair
value less costs of disposal or value-in-use of the asset, when an impairment loss is recognized or when an impairment loss
is subsequently reversed. The implementation of amendments to IAS 36 had no impact to the Corporation’s September
2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
IFRIC 21, “Levies” (“IFRIC 21”)
On January 1, 2014, the Corporation implemented IFRIC 21 which provides an interpretation on IAS 37, “Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” (“IAS 37”), with respect to the accounting for levies imposed by
governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have
a present obligation as a result of a past event. The interpretation clarifies that the obligating event is the activity described
in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The implementation of IFRIC 21 had no material impact to
the Corporation’s September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“IFRS 10”)
On January 1, 2014, the Corporation adopted certain amendments to IFRS 10 relating to the exception to the consolidation
requirements as outlined in IFRS 10 as they apply to investment entities. The implementation of these amendments had no
impact to the Corporation’s September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
SEPTEM BER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORAT I ON 56
Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards not yet Effective
IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”)
In July 2014, the IASB issued final amendments to IFRS 9, replacing earlier versions of IFRS 9 already adopted by the
Corporation. These amendments to IFRS 9 introduce a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model for
financial assets which will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses, and a fair value through other
comprehensive income category for financial assets that are debt instruments. Other previously issued amendments to IFRS
9 that have not yet been adopted by the Corporation include a substantially reformed approach to hedge accounting and
requirements to recognize gains or losses that relate to the effect of a Corporation’s own credit risk in measuring liabilities
elected to be measured at fair value outside of profit or loss. The amendments to IFRS 9 that are not yet adopted by the
Corporation are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and are available for earlier adoption.
The Corporation has yet to assess the full impact of the amendment to IFRS 9 to its consolidated financial statements, and it
has not yet determined whether the new amendments will be adopted earlier than at the required date of implementation.
IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements” (“IFRS 11”)
In May 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 11 to address the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint
operations. The amendments address how a joint operator should account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint
operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business. IFRS 11, as amended, now requires that such
transactions shall be accounted for using the principles related to business combinations accounting as outlined in IFRS 3,
“Business Combinations”. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of
adopting this amendment to its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”)
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, which supersedes IAS 18, “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and other
interpretive guidance associated with revenue recognition. IFRS 15 provides a single model to determine how and when an
entity should recognize revenue, as well as requiring entities to provide more informative, relevant disclosures in respect of
its revenue recognition criteria. IFRS 15 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2017, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact that
IFRS 15 may have on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
IAS 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“IAS 16”) and IAS 38, “Intangible Assets” (“IAS 38”)
In May 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 to clarify acceptable methods of depreciation and
amortization. The amended IAS 16 eliminates the use of a revenue-based depreciation method for items of property, plant
and equipment. Similarly, amendments to IAS 38 eliminate the use of a revenue-based amortization model for intangible
assets except in certain specific circumstances. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation is in the process of
evaluating the impact of adopting these amendments to its consolidated financial statements.
IAS 16 and IAS 41, “Agriculture” (“IAS 41”)
In June 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 which require biological assets that meet the definition of
a bearer plant to be accounted for as property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16. The amendments are to be
applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application
permitted. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its consolidated
financial statements.

The preparation of the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Corporation to make
judgments in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. These judgments, estimates
and assumptions affect the Corporation’s reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and other items in net earnings, and
the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any. The Corporation evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis.
Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Corporation believes are
reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of
assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenues and other items in net earnings that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other than as
outlined below, there have been no significant changes in accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the
Corporation in the preparation of the September 2014 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements from those judgments,
estimates and assumptions disclosed in note 4 to the 2013 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Assessment of Goodwill for Potential Impairment
Goodwill is assessed annually for impairment or more frequently if there are potential indicators of impairment. In
assessing for possible impairment of goodwill, the Corporation estimates the recoverable amount of each of its CGUs to
which goodwill has been assigned using one or more generally accepted valuation techniques, which requires the making of
a number of assumptions, including assumptions about future revenue, net earnings, corporate overhead costs, capital
expenditures, cost of capital, and the growth rate of operations. The recoverable amount of each CGU is compared to its
carrying value, inclusive of assigned goodwill. If the recoverable amount of a CGU is determined to be less than its
carrying value, the excess is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss. The estimated recoverable amounts are sensitive to
the assumptions used in the valuations. Given the variability of future-oriented financial information, goodwill impairment
tests are subjected to significant sensitivity analysis.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets, including real estate assets in the pre-development phase are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. In calculating net realizable value, management must estimate the selling price of the assets based on prevailing
market prices at the dates of the consolidated statements of financial position, discounted for the time value of money, if
material, less estimated costs of completion and estimated selling costs. If estimates are significantly different from actual
results, the carrying value of such real estate assets may be overstated or understated on the consolidated statements of
financial position and accordingly, net earnings in a particular period may be overstated or understated.
Accounting for Commission Revenue – Principal versus Agency
Dundee 360 has entered into a master franchise agreement for the right to the “Sotheby’s International Realty” name and
related trademarks in Canada. Through these arrangements, Dundee 360 earns commission revenues from the listing,
marketing and selling of real estate. Significant judgment has been applied in determining whether Dundee 360 acts as an
agent in these transactions, rather than as principal. The assessment of whether Dundee 360 acts as agent or principal
impacts whether accounting for commission revenue should be on a gross or net basis. Dundee 360 has determined that it
acts as principal, as it is directly responsible for providing the underlying service and accordingly, it accounts for commission
revenues on a gross basis.
Recognition of Contingent Payments in Development Projects
Provisions may be recorded by Dundee 360 when it has determined that it has a present obligation, whether legal or
constructive and that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Management uses judgment in assessing the magnitude and
timing of the potential economic exposure and the likelihood of a future event occurring. Actual results may differ
significantly from these estimates.

Distribution of Dundee Realty Corporation to Shareholders – May 2013
On May 16, 2013, the Corporation’s shareholders approved a corporate restructuring, through a tax efficient plan of
arrangement (the “Arrangement”), that resulted in the Corporation exchanging its 70% interest in Dundee Realty
Corporation (“Dundee Realty”), a real estate subsidiary, for certain shares of DREAM Unlimited Corp. (“DREAM”), a
holding company established for the purpose of completing the Arrangement. The transaction was completed on May 30,
2013. In accordance with the terms of the Arrangement, the shares of DREAM received by the Corporation were effectively
distributed to shareholders of the Corporation such that holders of the Corporation’s Subordinate Shares received one Class
A subordinate voting share of DREAM for each Subordinate Share held, and holders of the Corporation’s Class B common
shares (“Class B Shares”) received one Class B common share of DREAM for each such Class B Share held. At completion
of the Arrangement, the Corporation retained a 28.57% interest in DREAM, providing it with a 20% indirect interest in
Dundee Realty.
The assets and liabilities of Dundee Realty derecognized on May 30, 2013, and the resulting gain on the distribution of such
net assets to the Corporation’s shareholders is illustrated in the following table.

Change of Ownership Interests in Subsidiaries
Dundee Sustainable Technologies Inc.
In consideration for the acquisition of Creso (note 2) in April 2014, DSTI issued 63,615,477 subordinate voting shares from
its treasury and it issued 2,545,000 options and 12,456,566 warrants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014,
DSTI also issued subordinate voting shares from its treasury upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options. As a result
of these transactions, the Corporation’s interest in DSTI was diluted from 83% at December 31, 2013 to 64% at September
30, 2014 resulting in the Corporation recognizing an increase to contributed surplus of $9,849,000. During the first nine
months of the prior year, the Corporation acquired 67,744,510 common shares of DSTI for $7,487,000, including shares
pursuant to the exercise of warrants, shares acquired in private transactions from other third-party shareholders and other
non-monetary transactions. The acquisitions caused the Corporation’s interest in DSTI to increase from 75% at December
31, 2012 to 83% at September 30, 2013, and resulted in a decrease in contributed surplus of $1,177,000.
United Hydrocarbon International Corp. (“UHI”)
On June 30, 2013, and through a series of transactions, the Corporation had acquired 27,400,000 shares or 28% of UHI, a
private oil and gas exploration, development and production company with activities in the Republic of Chad. In addition to
its investment in shares of UHI, the Corporation had advanced $46,827,000 in senior secured convertible debentures
carrying an interest rate of up to 12% per annum, and it had received certain common share purchase warrants. The
Corporation’s investment in the senior secured convertible debentures, and the granting to the Corporation of share purchase
warrants, provided the Corporation with the ability to control the business activities of UHI. The Corporation determined
that these transactions represented a business combination, with the Corporation as the acquirer. Accordingly, the
Corporation began consolidating the operating results, cash flow and net assets of UHI effective June 30, 2013.
The following table illustrates the total consideration transferred for the acquisition of UHI at September 30, 2013 and the
Corporation’s allocation of the consideration transferred to the acquired net assets of UHI.

Subsequent to June 30, 2013 and prior to September 30, 2013, the Corporation acquired $19,900,000 senior secured
convertible debentures of UHI and it received an additional 2,500,000 common shares of UHI pursuant to warrants granted
as part of its lending arrangements with UHI. These transactions resulted in the Corporation recognizing an increase to
contributed surplus of $1,028,000. A further $29,700,000 of senior secured convertible debentures of UHI were acquired
after September 30, 2013 and prior to December 31, 2013 and, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the
Corporation advanced a further $145,279,000 to UHI. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had advanced an aggregate
of $241,706,000 to UHI.
During the first nine months of 2014, and in recognition of the contribution made by the Corporation towards an oil
discovery, UHI awarded 20,000,000 treasury shares to the Corporation, with a value of $10,000,000 (the “Discovery
Bonus”). Concurrently, the board of directors of UHI amended the terms of certain outstanding warrants, accelerating their
vesting criteria and resulting in the recognition of compensation expense of $8,980,000. Along with other issues of common
shares of UHI from treasury pursuant to share incentive arrangements, these transactions increased the Corporation’s interest
in UHI from 29% at December 31, 2013 to 35% at September 30, 2014. The difference between the aggregate of the fair
value of the common shares of UHI issued from treasury together with the compensation amount resulting from the
modification of the vesting criteria of the warrant and the corresponding dilutive effect to non-controlling interest was
$9,539,000, and has been recognized in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as an increase in contributed
surplus.
Blue Goose Capital Corp. (“Blue Goose”)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation acquired 100,000 common shares of Blue Goose for
$1,000,000 (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – 2,760,000 common shares of Blue Goose for $27,600,000).
Concurrent with these investments, Blue Goose also issued shares to its non-controlling shareholders for cash or under share
incentive arrangements and/or in consideration for acquisitions. On a net basis, the Corporation’s investment in Blue Goose
increased from 84% at December 31, 2013 to 86% at September 30, 2014 (September 30, 2013 – 82%; December 31, 2012
– 83%), resulting in a decrease in contributed surplus of $337,000 (nine months ended September 30, 2013 – increase of
$174,000).
Dundee Energy Limited (“Dundee Energy”)
Changes in the net equity of Dundee Energy during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulted in the Corporation
recognizing an increase in contributed surplus of $111,000. In April 2013, the Corporation had purchased 15,771,991 flow-
through common shares of Dundee Energy pursuant to a rights offering to its shareholders at a cost of $6,151,000. The
purchase increased the Corporation’s interest in Dundee Energy to 58% at September 30, 2013, compared with 57% at the
end of the prior year, and resulted in a decrease of $747,000 in contributed surplus.

Risk Management Contracts
At September 30, 2014, Dundee Energy had entered into a risk management contract in respect of its oil production, the
terms of which are illustrated in the following table. These derivative instruments are not designated in a qualifying hedge
relationship and accordingly, they are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) and
are measured at their estimated fair value with changes recorded in net earnings in the period in which they occur.
Dundee Energy has determined that its risk management contract at September 30, 2014 resulted in an asset balance of
$129,000. The risk management contract outstanding on December 31, 2013 had a fair value liability balance of $92,000
and was settled in early 2014.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee Energy recognized a gain of $376,000 and a loss of
$116,000 respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 – loss of $509,000 and $661,000 respectively)
from changes in the fair value of these risk management contracts.
The commodity prices used to determine the market value of risk management contracts reflect management’s best estimate
of future market prices for the underlying commodity as at the measurement date, and considers various other factors.
However, future commodity market prices will vary from those used in such determination and it is possible that such
variations could be material, causing volatility in the Corporation’s financial results.

Embedded Derivatives
The Corporation has determined that the redemption option feature of the Corporation’s preference shares, series 4
(“Preference Shares, series 4”) meets the definition of an embedded derivative, as the economic risks and characteristics of
the redemption option are not closely related to that of the Preference Shares, series 4. Accordingly, the embedded
redemption option has been bifurcated from the Preference Shares, series 4 and has been recognized in the consolidated
financial statements as a derivative financial instrument. The Corporation has determined that the estimated fair value of the
embedded derivative option was $1,620,000 at September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – $1,920,000). The fair value of
the embedded redemption option was measured using an interest rate option pricing method.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation recognized a loss on these embedded
derivatives of $nil and $300,000 respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Corporation recognized a loss on derivative financial
instruments of $180,000 and $3,480,000 respectively, relating to the embedded derivative feature associated with its
preference shares, series 1. The Corporation’s preference shares, series 1 were cancelled in accordance with the terms of the
Arrangement with Dundee Realty (note 5).
Warrants and Options Associated with Investments
Included in the Corporation’s portfolio of investments are warrants and/or options, which were acquired directly by the
Corporation, or which were received by the Corporation as consideration for the Corporation’s investment in the underlying
investee. These warrants and/or options are derivative financial assets and are carried in the Corporation’s consolidated
statements of financial position at their estimated fair value, determined using a modified Black Scholes option pricing
model.

subsequently assessed its ability to exert significant influence over the operations and financial results of the underlying
investees, given its current ownership interest, its representation on the board of directors, and joint approval voting power.
Accordingly, on April 1, 2014, the Corporation began to account for these investments using the equity method.

The carrying value of the Corporation’s investment in Escal at September 30, 2014 is $nil. In July 2014, Escal filed an
application for the relinquishment of the exploitation concession related to the Castor underground natural gas storage
project in Spain, which was acknowledged by the Spanish authorities by royal decree subsequent to September 30, 2014.
Under the terms of the royal decree: (i) Escal will receive €1.35 billion within 35 days of the date of the royal decree, and
(ii) Escal will receive certain other remuneration rights, including financial remuneration for the period from the provisional
commissioning date of the Castor project on July 5, 2012 through to October 4, 2014, being the date the royal decree went
into force, as well as the reimbursement of operating and maintenance costs incurred during this period. The final
determination and timing of these additional remuneration rights have not yet been finalized. It is anticipated that the
amounts received by Escal will be applied towards the repayment of €1.38 billion of outstanding bonds issued by Watercraft
Capital S.A., Escal’s financing vehicle. The royal decree further stipulates that the Castor project will remain mothballed
until the Spanish government is satisfied with technical studies and reports on the commissioning of such facilities. Enagás
Transporte, S.A.U., the technical manager of the Spanish gas system, has been tasked with completing these studies and it
will be entrusted with ongoing care and maintenance of the facilities as soon as practicable. However, in accordance with
the terms of the decree, Escal and its shareholders remain responsible for any possible flaws or defects in the facilities
associated with the Castor project that become apparent during the ten years following the issuance of the royal decree.

DREAM Office Real Estate Investment Trust (formerly “Dundee REIT”)
and DREAM Global Real Estate Investment Trust (formerly “Dundee International REIT”)
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation accounted for its investments in DREAM Office REIT and
DREAM Global REIT on an equity basis as it was able to exert significant influence over the operations and financial
results of these investees through its representation on the board of trustees and through senior management representation.
Following completion of the Arrangement with Dundee Realty (note 5), the management structure associated with Dundee
Realty was immediately decentralized. Furthermore, in early 2014, the Corporation’s representative to the board of trustees
of each of DREAM Office REIT and DREAM Global REIT resigned his position on the board of trustees. As a result of
these changes, the Corporation’s investment in each of these entities has been reclassified as an investment at FVTPL (note
10).
DREAM Unlimited Corp.
In connection with the distribution of assets to shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement with Dundee Realty (note 5), the
Corporation retained 21,636,222 Class A subordinate voting shares of DREAM, which represented a 29% interest in
DREAM and a 20% indirect interest in Dundee Realty. Initially, the Corporation determined that it had the ability to exert
significant influence over the strategic operating, investing and financing policies of DREAM. Accordingly, the
Corporation accounted for its investment in DREAM using the equity method. During the third quarter of 2013, the
Corporation reconsidered the facts and circumstances around its power to participate in the financial and operating policy
decisions of DREAM and concluded that accounting for its investment in DREAM under the equity method was no longer
appropriate. As such, during the third quarter of 2013, the Corporation began to account for its investment in DREAM as an

lease term is for 50 years commencing on the initial date of exploitation of the associated project, with a renewal option for
a further 25 years.
The ultimate realization of these joint venture investments are dependent upon Dundee 360’s ability to retain its
development rights, to obtain the necessary financing to complete developments, and the successful development and use of
the tourism assets, or alternatively, the sale of these assets.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, Dundee 360 recognized earnings of $87,000 from its investments in
real estate joint ventures.

Dundee 360 holds a 78% interest in Clearpoint Resort Limited (Malta) (“CRLM”). CRLM owns property under
development (the “Clearpoint Project”) consisting of land held in Cavtat, Croatia, near Dubrovnik which was valued at
$13,871,000 at the date of completion of the plan of arrangement with Dundee 360 (note 2). The Clearpoint Project consists
of a master-planned hotel, marina and recreational residential development encompassing a mix of private apartments,
townhomes and luxury villas. The Erste & Steiemarkische Bank, as lender to the Clearpoint Project, has registered a lien
over the land (note 19).
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, CRLM invested $195,000 in further development costs associated with
this project. At September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the investment was $13,523,000, with the decrease in value
representing the foreign currency translation effect related to the translation of the Euro relative to the Canadian dollar.
Subsequent to September 30, 2014, Dundee 360 paid a further €511,000 plus accrued interest on behalf of CRLM to reduce
debt outstanding to the Erste & Steiemarkische Bank. In exchange, CRLM issued additional equity to Dundee 360 from its
treasury, increasing Dundee 360’s ownership in CRLM to 80%.

$205,000,000 – Revolving Term Credit Facility, Corporate
On January 23, 2014, as amended on June 9, 2014 and June 27, 2014, the Corporation established a $205 million revolving
term credit facility. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had drawn $32,566,000 against this facility. During the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense relating to the Corporation’s revolving term credit facility,
including standby fees and other similar costs, was $539,000 and $2,086,000 respectively. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2013, the Corporation incurred interest charges of $1,179,000 and $3,600,000 respectively,
associated with a revolving term credit facility that was subsequently repaid and extinguished.
Establishment of a $300 million Corporate Credit Facility
On November 13, 2014, the Corporation established a $300 million, three-year revolving term credit facility with a
syndicate of Canadian Schedule I Chartered Banks. Concurrently, the Corporation repaid amounts outstanding pursuant to
its previously established credit facility as outlined above, and borrowing availabilities under previous arrangements were
terminated. Borrowings under the $300 million credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending
rate for loans plus 0.45% or, at the Corporation’s option, at the prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate or London Interbank
Offered Rate plus 1.45%. Unused amounts available under the $300 million credit facility are subject to an annual standby
fee of 0.29%.
Draws against the $300 million credit facility are contingent on, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial
ratios relating to the fair value of certain of the Corporation’s investments, and are subject to other customary restrictions,
including restrictions on the existence of other secured indebtedness.
The Corporation has granted a first ranking security over all of its assets as security against amounts borrowed under these
arrangements.
$6,490,000, 5.85% Exchangeable Unsecured Subordinated Debentures
At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had 6,490 (December 31, 2013 – 6,490) outstanding exchangeable unsecured
subordinated debentures with a par value per debenture of $1,000. The exchangeable debentures mature on June 30, 2015
and bear interest at 5.85% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Each exchangeable
debenture may be exchanged, at the option of the holder for 33.6134 units of DREAM Office REIT, representing a
conversion price of $29.75 per DREAM Office REIT unit.

The Corporation has placed sufficient units of DREAM Office REIT into escrow to satisfy the exchange feature of the
exchangeable debentures. While these securities are held in escrow, the Corporation retains all voting rights and related
privileges and is entitled to all distributions and rights of reinvestment of all distributions. There were no exchangeable
debentures surrendered for exchange of DREAM Office REIT units during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
The carrying value of the exchangeable debentures is adjusted in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements to
reflect the estimated fair value of the embedded exchange feature, provided that such adjustment does not result in a
carrying value that is below the principal value of the exchangeable debentures outstanding. The estimated fair value of the
exchange feature is determined using a valuation model that recognizes both the debt and exchange feature of the debentures
and is based on the premise that each of these components have different default risks. Changes in the estimated fair value
of the exchange feature are recorded in net earnings. Based on this valuation model, the Corporation determined that the
value of the exchangeable debentures at September 30, 2014 was $6,490,000 (December 31, 2013 – $6,490,000).
$70,000,000 Demand Revolving Credit Facility, Dundee Energy Limited
Dundee Energy Limited Partnership (“DELP”), a subsidiary of Dundee Energy, has established a $70 million credit facility
with a Canadian Schedule I Chartered Bank. The credit facility provides the subsidiary with a revolving demand loan,
subject to a tiered interest rate structure based on its net debt to cash flow ratio, as defined in the credit facility. Based on
current ratios, draws on the credit facility bear interest, at DELP’s option, at either the bank’s prime lending rate plus 3.5%
for loans or letters of credit, or, for bankers’ acceptances, at the bank’s then prevailing bankers’ acceptance rate plus 4.5%.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense relating to this credit facility, including
standby fees and other similar costs, was $613,000 and $2,468,000 respectively (three and nine months ended September 30,
2013 – $1,007,000 and $2,655,000 respectively). At September 30, 2014, the subsidiary had drawn $64,000,000 (December
31, 2013 – $66,200,000) pursuant to the credit facility.
The credit facility is secured against all of the oil and natural gas properties owned by DELP. In addition, Dundee Energy
has assigned a limited recourse guarantee of its units in the subsidiary as further security pursuant to the credit facility. The
credit facility is subject to certain covenants, including the maintenance of minimum levels of working capital.
Loan Facilities, Blue Goose Capital Corp.
Blue Goose and its subsidiaries have entered into several loan agreements, including a $14,750,000 facility maturing on July
1, 2027. During the first nine months of 2014, the facility, which was originally structured as a revolving loan facility, was
converted to a fixed term loan, bearing interest at 5.2% per annum. In addition, Blue Goose has established a real estate
loan for $10,000,000 secured by ranch property in western Canada. The real estate loan is subject to a fixed interest rate of
3.05% per annum. At September 30, 2014, Blue Goose had drawn $14,353,000 (December 31, 2013 – $14,747,000) against
the fixed term facility and $9,524,000 (December 31, 2013 – $9,805,000) against the real estate loan.
Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Blue Goose have entered into various credit facilities for up to $23,500,000 with
certain Canadian Schedule I Chartered Banks. Borrowings under these arrangements bear interest at a rate per annum
ranging from the bank’s prime lending rate plus 0.50% to 1.30%. The facilities are secured by general security agreements
against the assets of each respective subsidiary and are guaranteed by Blue Goose. At September 30, 2014, the subsidiaries
of Blue Goose had drawn $20,935,000 (December 31, 2013 – $18,617,000) against these facilities. Certain of these loan
arrangements require that Blue Goose and its subsidiaries meet financial debt covenants customary to such loan
arrangements, including the maintenance of certain interest coverage ratios in excess of specified amounts and covenants
that limit the amount of liabilities that may be assumed by Blue Goose and its subsidiaries. These loan arrangements also
oblige Blue Goose to comply with certain reporting requirements, including the delivery of financial information and debt
covenant certification as provided for in the loan agreements. During the second quarter of 2014, Blue Goose experienced
an increase in leverage and as such, at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, Blue Goose exceeded its maximum leverage
threshold, and it did not comply with the associated compliance requirements. Blue Goose is currently in negotiations with
the lender and is endeavouring to comply with the delivery of financial information as required by such arrangements.
SEPTEM BER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORAT I ON 73
Blue Goose’s U.S. subsidiary has also secured a 4.70% US$6,000,000 real estate loan secured against land in Colorado and
a US$1,000,000 variable interest rate operating line secured against the assets of the U.S. subsidiary. Both of these facilities
are guaranteed by Blue Goose. At September 30, 2014, amounts outstanding against the real estate loan were $6,535,000
(December 31, 2013 – $6,349,000) and $1,005,000 (December 31, 2013 – $477,000) was drawn against the operating line.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense incurred in respect of these facilities was
$537,000 and $1,510,000 respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 – $454,000 and $661,000
respectively).
Loan Facilities, Dundee 360 Real Estate Corporation
At September 30, 2014, CRLM, a subsidiary of Dundee 360, borrowed €3,064,000, which was secured against its land
holdings in Croatia, from Erste & Steiemarkische Bank. Amounts borrowed are subject to interest at a rate of Euribor plus
6.75%. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, Dundee 360 repaid €511,000 plus accrued interest against amounts borrowed.
A further €510,657 is payable on January 1, 2015, with the balance outstanding due on April 1, 2015. All other amounts
borrowed by Dundee 360 are short term in nature and are due within the next 12 months.
Call Loan Arrangements
From time to time, Dundee Securities may utilize call loan arrangements to facilitate the securities settlement process for
both client and principal securities transactions, or to fund margin lending. In connection with the establishment of an
introducing and carrying broker arrangement with a third-party service provider, Dundee Securities has arranged for an
uncommitted call loan facility for up to $100 million at September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – $125 million). At
September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding pursuant to these arrangements. Interest
rates on amounts drawn during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were 1.5% (December 31, 2013 – 1.5%) on
Canadian dollar denominated borrowings and 1.0% (December 31, 2013 – 1.0%) on borrowings denominated in U.S.

Obligations for Tides Inn
As part of the acquisition of a license to use the trademarks “Enchantment” and “Mii Amo” and the related marks in
connection with the operation, marketing and promotion of certain destination spa resorts, Dundee 360 entered into a pre-
development agreement to prepare a plan to redevelop the Tides Inn located in the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. The
agreement includes an option to acquire an interest in the Tides Resort and Tides Inn. The option carries a penalty of
$1,000,000 if such option is not exercised. Under the terms of these arrangements, Dundee 360 is also committed to assume
50% of any operating losses incurred by the Tides Inn for a period of up to three years commencing November 13, 2015.
Dundee 360 has not recorded a liability in respect of these amounts as such liability cannot reasonably be estimated.
Legal Contingencies
As part of a business reorganization completed in 2011, Dundee Capital Markets Inc., the parent company of Dundee
Securities, agreed to provide an indemnity with respect to certain claims. In 2011, Sino-Forest Corporation (“Sino-Forest”)
was delisted from the TSX, following allegations of securities violations. One of the parties indemnified by Dundee Capital
Markets Inc. participated in underwriting syndicates in respect of several public equity offerings by Sino-Forest. The
indemnified party is a defendant in at least one lawsuit brought by shareholders of Sino-Forest, alleging securities law and
other violations. Sino-Forest received an order for creditor protection in March 2012 and its Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (“CCAA”) plan was implemented in January 2013 and was recognized by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in March 2013. In May 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission
commenced formal proceedings against Sino-Forest and certain of its current and former executives alleging fraud and
securities law violations; hearings started in September 2014 and are scheduled to continue through to June 2015. In
December 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission commenced formal proceedings against Ernst & Young, Sino-Forest’s
former auditor, alleging certain audit deficiencies that allegedly amount to breaches of the Securities Act (Ontario); those
proceedings were settled in September 2014, pursuant to which Ernst & Young paid a fine. The aforementioned shareholder
lawsuit is a proposed class proceeding, which has not been certified as such. The certification and other motions are
scheduled to be heard during the weeks of January 12 and 19, 2015. At this time Dundee Capital Markets Inc. cannot
reliably estimate the timing and quantification of any exposure it may have as a result of the Sino-Forest underwritings.
The Corporation is also a defendant in various other legal actions. The defenses to these claims and the quantification of
damages are yet to be determined and the amount of the loss, if any, cannot be determined at this time. The Corporation
intends to vigorously defend itself against all legal claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be
ascertained at this time and the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of
management, based on information currently available, that these are not material liabilities, adequate provisions have been
SEPTEM BER 2014 – DUNDEE CORPORAT I ON 83
made for any liabilities and the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position of the Corporation.
