Following the close of business on June 30, 2011, the Racing & Gaming
Business, substantially all of the Company's lands held for
development, a property in the United States and an income producing
property in Canada (the "Arrangement Transferred Assets & Business")
were transferred to entities owned by Mr. Frank Stronach and his family
(the "Stronach Shareholder") in consideration for the elimination of
MID's dual class share structure.�� The operating results of the
Arrangement Transferred Assets & Business have been presented as
discontinued operations.�� Income from continuing operations pertains to
the Company's income producing property portfolio.

FFO and diluted FFO per share are measures widely used by analysts and
investors in evaluating the operating performance of real estate
companies.�� However, FFO does not have a standardized meaning under
U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other companies.�� The Company determines FFO using the
definition prescribed in the United States by the National Association
of Real Estate Investment Trusts�� ("NAREIT").�� For a reconciliation of
FFO to income from continuing operations, please refer to the section

MID CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS



The results of operations of the Company for the three-month period and
year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 include those from continuing
operations and discontinued operations.



Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2011



Continuing Operations



For the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, rental revenues
increased by $1.7 million from $43.6 million in the fourth quarter of
2010 to $45.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 primarily due to
the additional rent earned from contractual rent increases and
completed projects coming on-stream.



The Company's income from continuing operations was $3.5 million in the
fourth quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $1.1 million in the
prior year period. The increase in income from continuing operations of
$4.6 million is primarily due to (i) the increase in rental revenue of
$1.7 million for the reasons described above, (ii) a decrease in
general and administrative expenses of $4.8 million primarily due to
decreased compensation expense pertaining to the Company's Non-Employee
Director Share-Based Compensation Plan and reduced insurance expense
primarily related to reduced Directors' and Officers' liability
insurance premiums, (iii) a decrease in interest expense and other
financing costs of $0.9 million primarily due to a decrease in interest
expense related to short-term borrowings and to a lesser extent an
increase in interest income, (iv) an increase in foreign exchange gains
of $0.6 million primarily resulting from the re-measurement of certain
assets and liabilities that are denominated in a functional currency
that is different from the relevant entity's reporting currency for
accounting purposes, and (v) a decrease in income tax expense of $12.9
million
, primarily due to an internal amalgamation expense in the prior
year period, partially offset by (vi) a write-down of long-lived assets
of $16.3 million primarily relating to two income producing properties
in Austria and Germany, and (vii) an increase in depreciation and
amortization expense of $0.2 million, primarily due to additional
depreciation charges related to the completion of various expansion
projects in 2011.



FFO for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased $4.9 million from $9.4
million
in the prior year period to $14.3 million in the current period
primarily due to the increased income from continuing operations of
$4.6 million which included a $13.0 million after tax write-down of
long-lived assets.



Discontinued Operations



For the three-month period ended December 31, 2011, the Company's
results of operations were not impacted by the Arrangement Transferred
Assets & Business as they were transferred to the Stronach Shareholder
effective June 30, 2011.



Net Income



Net income of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased by
$92.8 million from a net loss of $89.3 million in the prior year
period.�� The increase is due to an increase in income from continuing
operations of $4.6 million and a decrease in the loss from discontinued
operations of $88.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.



Year Ended December 31, 2011



Continuing Operations



For the year ended December 31, 2011, revenues increased by $9.0 million
from $173.9 million in 2010 to $182.9 million in 2011, primarily due to
an increase in rental revenue from $172.1 million in the year ended
2010 to $182.9 million in 2011, partially offset by a decrease in
interest and other income from Magna Entertainment Corp. ("MEC") from
$1.8 million to nil during the same period.



Rental revenue increased by $10.8 million in the year ended 2011
compared to the prior year primarily due to the favourable effect of
changes in foreign currency exchange rates, additional rent earned from
contractual rent increases and completed projects coming on-stream.



Interest and other income from MEC consist of interest and fees earned
in relation to loan facilities between MID and MEC and certain of its
subsidiaries.�� These loan facilities were settled and interest and
other income thereon ceased in the second quarter of 2010 as MEC's
Chapter 11 process concluded.



The Company's income from continuing operations was $59.2 million in the
year ended 2011 compared to $66.5 million in the prior year period. The
decrease in income from continuing operations of $7.3 million is
primarily due to (i) the decrease in interest and other income from MEC
of $1.8 million for the reasons described above, (ii) a decrease in the
impairment recovery related to the loans receivable from MEC of $10.0
million
as a result of additional information and changes in facts and
circumstances arising from the settlement of loans receivable from MEC,
(iii) a purchase price consideration adjustment of $20.3 million
relating to changes in the fair values assigned to certain assets of
MEC that had been transferred to the Company, (iv) an increase in
general and administrative expenses of $3.8 million primarily due to
2011 employee termination and recruiting expenses as well as advisory
and other related costs primarily incurred in connection with the
Company's plan of arrangement, (v) an increase in depreciation and
amortization expense of $2.0 million primarily due to the impact of
foreign exchange, (vi) a decrease in other gains of $2.0 million
primarily due to a lease termination fee in 2010 and (vii) the
write-down of long-lived assets of $19.1 million in 2011 relating to
three properties, partially offset by (viii) the increase in rental
revenue of $10.8 million for the reasons described above, (ix) a
decrease of $2.3 million in interest expense and other financing costs
primarily due to increased capitalized interest, a reduction in
short-term borrowings and an increase in interest income, and * a
decrease of income tax expense of $38.5 million in the year ended
December 31, 2011 primarily due to the reversal of a liability relating
to an internal amalgamation expense.



FFO for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased $5.4 million from
$107.7 million in the prior year period to $102.3 million primarily due
to the reduced income from continuing operations of $7.3 million for
the reasons noted above and the add back of increased depreciation and
amortization expense of $2.0 million.



Discontinued Operations



Income from discontinued operations increased $215.8 million from a loss
of $119.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 to income of
$96.6 million during 2011.�� For the year ended December 31, 2011, the
operating results of the Racing & Gaming Business are included to June
30, 2011
, the date of transfer to the Stronach Shareholder.�� In the
year ended December 31, 2010, the operating results of the Racing &
Gaming Business are included commencing on April 30, 2010, the date the
Racing & Gaming Business was acquired from MEC.�� Given these facts, a
comparison of the results is not meaningful, however, one of the main
reasons for the increase in income from discontinued operations in 2011
was due to the gain of $89.5 million recorded on the disposition of the
Arrangement Transferred Assets & Business.



Net Income



Net income of $155.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011
increased by $208.5 million from a net loss of $52.7 million in the
prior year period.�� The $208.5 million increase was primarily due to
the increase in income from discontinued operations of $215.8 million.

the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is
