Financial Position
As at December 31, 2017, the Fund's indebtedness to gross book value was 63.8%, a reduction from 65.4% as at December 31, 2016. The Fund maintained a strong interest coverage ratio and indebtedness coverage ratio of 2.19 times and 2.00 times respectively for 2017 representing a reduction from 2.99 times and 2.84 times for the period from August 26, 2016 to December 31, 2016 due mainly to increases in U.S. 30-day London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") throughout 2017. The weighted average interest rate on the Fund's mortgages payable was 3.60% and the weighted average term to maturity was 4.16 years as at December 31, 2017.
Subsequent Events
On January 31, 2018, the Fund refinanced five properties for gross proceeds of $36,477 through a revolving credit facility secured by the properties with a term of five years with a one-year extension option at the Fund's discretion and at an interest rate of U.S. one-month LIBOR plus 2.00%. The revolving credit facility allows for up to $350,000 of proceeds of which the Fund has utilized $258,614.
The Fund utilized the proceeds to repay the mezzanine loan on The Callie Apartments of $6,418 and acquire Altis at Sand Lake for $69,300, a 315-suite property completed in 2016 and located in Orlando, Florida. The acquisition of Altis at Sand Lake was from an affiliate of Starlight Group Property Holdings Inc., a related party and the manager of the Fund. The acquisition of Altis at Sand Lake was financed with proceeds from the new revolving credit facility.
On February 13, 2018, the Fund sold The Villages at Sunset Ridge for $29,500 less transaction costs of $342. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding mortgage balance of $21,695 with the remainder expected to be utilized on a tax-deferred basis for a future acquisition.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Altis at Sand Lake and the disposition of Sunset Ridge, the Fund's portfolio had an average year of completion of 2012.
On March 2, 2018 the Fund entered into a new variable rate collar contract to provide protection from the impact of any potential weakening of the U.S. dollar on the Fund's Canadian dollar distributions. The 9-month contract which will begin in April 2018 allows the Fund to exchange U.S. funds each month within a range of C$1.2700 to C$1.3220.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Fund's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain terms used in this press release including AFFO, AFFO payout ratio, AMR, economic occupancy, FFO, FFO payout ratio, gross book value, indebtedness, indebtedness coverage ratio, indebtedness to gross book value, interest coverage ratio, NOI, same property AMR, same property economic occupancy, same property NOI and same property NOI margin (collectively, the "non-IFRS measures") as well as other measures discussed elsewhere in this press release, do not have a standardized definition prescribed by IFRS and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers.
