NOTES TO THE THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. THE FUND

Brookfield Select Opportunities Income Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment fund established under thelaws of the Province of Ontario pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated April 24, 2014. The Fundeffectively began operations on May 23, 2014 when it completed an initial public offering of 19,200,000units of the Fund (the “Units”) at $10.00 per Unit (the “Offering”), for gross proceeds of $192.0 millionand net proceeds of $181.1 million after deducting issuance costs of approximately $10.9 million.

The Fund was created with objectives to (i) provide holders of units (“Unitholders”) with quarterly cashdistributions; (ii) maximize total return for Unitholders through distributions and capital appreciation;and (iii) preserve capital. The Fund was created to invest in a portfolio comprised primarily of fixedincome and equity securities on a global basis (the “Portfolio”).

Brookfield Investment Management (Canada) Inc. (“BIM Canada”) is the manager (the “Manager”) andthe trustee of the Fund. Effective July 6, 2017 Brookfield Investment Management Inc. ("BIM") becamethe investment manager (the “Investment Manager”), replacing BIM Canada. The Investment Managermakes all of the investment and trading decisions on behalf of the Fund. The Fund’s registered officeis Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 300 Toronto, Ontario Canada M5J 2T3. These financialstatements were authorized for issue by the Manager on March 28, 2018.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial ReportingStandards ("IFRS").

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation ofcertain financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the considerationgiven in exchange for assets.

In applying IFRS, management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts of assets,liabilities, income and expenses reported in these financial statements. The most significant estimatesrelate to the valuation of investments. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial InstrumentsThe Fund's investments in equity and fixed income securities are designated at fair value through profitor loss (“FVTPL”) at inception. The Fund's derivatives are categorized as held for trading. As a result ofsuch designation and categorization, the Fund's investments and derivatives are measured at FVTPL.

OffsettingFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Statements of FinancialPosition only when the Fund has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a netbasis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. In the normal course of business, theFund enters into various master netting agreements or similar agreements that do not meet the criteriafor offsetting in the Statements of Financial Position but still allow for the related amounts to be offsetin certain circumstances, such as bankruptcy or termination of contracts.

Fair Value MeasurementFair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assetsand liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded marketable securities) are based onquoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date. However, if (i) a fair value or priceis not readily available, (ii) the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of fair value bythe Investment Manager, or (iii) a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the valueof the security, the security is fair valued, as determined in good faith, by the Fund’s ValuationCommittee. The Fund’s Valuation Committee is comprised of senior members of Brookfield InvestmentManagement Inc.’s management team. The price determined by the Valuation Committee is anestimate and may differ from the actual price used in a purchase or sale transaction. The Fund’s policyis to recognize transfers into and out of the fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the reportingyear-end date.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market, includingover-the-counter derivatives, is determined using established valuation procedures. The Fund uses avariety of valuation methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing ateach measurement date. Valuation techniques include the use of comparable recent arm’s lengthtransactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same and others commonly usedby market participants and which make the maximum use of observable inputs. Refer to Note 6 forfurther information about the Fund’s fair value measurements.

All investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses frominvestment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of investments arecalculated on an average cost basis, excluding transaction costs and the effect of foreign exchangefluctuations, which are disclosed separately.

Other assets and liabilitiesFor the purpose of categorization, accrued investment income is recorded at amortized cost. Similarly,margin payable, payable for due to broker, distributions payable and accounts payable and accruedliabilities are deemed to be other financial liabilities and reported at amortized cost.All other financialassets and liabilities are measured for at amortized cost. Under this method, financial assets andliabilities reflect the amounts required to be received or paid, discounted when appropriate, at thefinancial instrument’s effective interest rate. The fair values of the Fund's financial assets andliabilities that are not carried at FVTPL approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-termnature.

Revenue recognitionDividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and the interest for distribution purposes shownon the Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) represents the coupon interest received by theFund accounted for on an accrual basis. The Fund does not amortize premiums paid or discountsreceived on the purchase of fixed income securities except for zero coupon bonds which are amortizedon a straight line basis.

Transaction costsTransaction costs, such as brokerage commissions incurred in the purchase and sale of securities by theFund, are expensed and are included in operating expenses in the Statements of ComprehensiveIncome (Loss).

Functional and presentation currencyThe performance of the Fund is measured and reported to the investors in Canadian dollars. TheManager considers the Canadian dollar as the currency that most faithfully represents the economiceffects of the underlying transactions, event and conditions. These financial statements are presentedin Canadian dollars, which is the Fund’s functional currency.

Foreign currency translationInvestments and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollarsusing the rate of exchange prevailing on the trade date. Investment transactions and income andexpenses are translated at the rate of exchange on the date of such transactions. The fair values ofinvestments, other assets and liabilities, and any adjustments included in the Statements ofComprehensive Income (Loss) in foreign currencies are translated at the year-end exchange rates.

Forward currency contractsForward currency contracts, if applicable, are valued at current market value on each valuation date.The value is determined as the gain or loss that would be realized, if on the valuation date, the positionof the forward currency contracts were closed out.

Redeemable UnitsThe Fund's redeemable Units are classified as financial liabilities and are measured at redemptionamounts. Distributions to holders of redeemable Units are recognized in Statements of Changes in NetAssets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Units when they are authorized. The characteristics ofthe units are not identical and therefore do not meet the criteria in IAS 32 - Financial Instruments -Presentation, for classification as equity.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted:In July 2014, the IASB finalized the reform of financial instruments accounting and issued IFRS 9Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) (as revised in 2014), which contains the requirements for a) theclassification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, b) impairment methodologyand c) general hedge accounting. IFRS 9 (as revised in 2014) will supersede IAS 39 FinancialInstruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety upon its effective date.

The new standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. IFRS 9is not expected to have a significant impact on the Fund's measurement basis, financial position orperformance, as it is expected that the Fund will continue to classify its financial assets and financialliabilities as being at fair value through profit or loss.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Manager to makejudgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and thereported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from theseestimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates arerecognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future year affected.

Fair Value Measurement of Derivatives and Securities Not Quoted in an Active MarketThe Fund may hold financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets. Fair values of suchinstruments are determined using valuation techniques and may be determined using reputable pricingsources (such as pricing agencies) or indicative prices from market makers. Broker quotes as obtainedfrom the pricing sources may be indicative and not executable or binding.

5. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

The Fund is exposed to various financial risks, including market risk (consisting of currency risk,interest rate risk, and other price risk), and liquidity risk. The Trust is also indirectly exposed to thefinancial risks of the Fund. The Fund's overall risk management programme seeks to minimizepotentially adverse effects of those risks on the Fund's financial performance by employingexperienced portfolio managers and by continuous monitoring of the Fund's securities positions andmarkets. The Manager maintains a corporate governance structure that oversees the Fund's investmentactivities. The Fund may use derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures and iscurrently engaged in a series of foreign exchange contracts as described below.

Currency RiskCurrency risk is the risk that the value of an investment will change due to fluctuations in foreignexchange rates.

The Fund's net assets attributable to holders of redeemable Units are measured in Canadian dollars andpayments to Unitholders are made in Canadian dollars. The Fund is exposed to currency risks as it mayhold assets or have liabilities denominated in currencies other than in Canadian dollars. As atDecember 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Fund was exposed to currency risk as the value of anyassets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar will vary due to changesin foreign exchange rates.

The following tables summarize the Fund's net exposure to foreign currency as at December 31, 2017and December 31, 2016:

As at December 31, 2017, had the Canadian dollar strengthened or weakened by 1% against each of theother currencies with all other variables remaining constant, the net assets of the Fund would havedecreased or increased by $148,840 (December 31, 2016 - $241,823).

As at December 31, 2017, the Fund had entered into forward currency contracts with a net unrealizedgain of $505,893 (December 31, 2016 net unrealized loss of $1,190,430) to deliver currencies atspecified future dates. For further information regarding forward currency contracts, see the Scheduleof Derivative Instruments.

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flowsor fair values of financial instruments.

The Fund is exposed to interest rate risk from its holdings of fixed-rate debt instruments, the values ofwhich fluctuate due to changes in prevailing levels of market interest rates. As at December 31, 2017,the Fund's debt instruments’ remaining terms to maturity were as follows:

Debt Instruments $% of

Net Assets

Less than 1 year - -1 to 3 years 1,323,428 2.663 to 5 years 2,087,916 4.20Greater than 5 years 17,902,458 36.00Total 21,313,802 42.86

As at December 31, 2016, the Fund's debt instruments’ remaining terms to maturity were as follows:

Debt Instruments $% of

Net Assets

Less than 1 year - -1 to 3 years 7,412,245 10.223 to 5 years 7,408,576 10.22Greater than 5 years 29,255,457 40.36Total 44,076,278 60.80

Interest rate risk of the Fund is currently mitigated by the relatively short duration and high creditspread of the high yield bonds in the Portfolio. These characteristics make the Portfolio’s sensitivity tointerest rate risk relatively less than what would be experienced by a portfolio with longer durationinvestments that trade at tighter spreads to government-backed fixed income securities. It would alsobe possible to hedge interest rate risk by short selling government-backed fixed income securities orengaging in various interest rate derivatives. As at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, theFund had no such hedges in place.

At December 31, 2017, if the prevailing interest rates had risen or declined by 0.25%, assuming aparallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables held constant, the Fund's net assets would havedecreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $278,193 (December 31, 2016 - $559,008). TheFund's sensitivity to interest rate changes was estimated using the weighted average duration of thebonds. In practice, the actual results may differ from this sensitivity analysis and the differences couldbe material.

Other price riskOther price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changesin market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). Such changes maybe the result of factors affecting multiple instruments traded in a market, market segment or assetclass.

The Fund is exposed to other price risk of securities held in the Portfolio. The Fund may take outrightlong or short positions in any of its investments, which may include derivative instruments for purposesconsistent with its investment objectives and investment strategy and subject to its investmentrestrictions.

As at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Fund had direct exposure to derivatives throughits holdings in equity total return swaps and forward currency contracts. Please refer to Schedule ofDerivative Instruments which shows the underlying notional equity exposure.

All investments present a risk of loss of capital. The Manager seeks to mitigate this risk through carefulselection of securities and other financial instruments. As at December 31, 2017, had the investmentsin the portfolio increased or decreased by 5% with all other variables remaining constant, the net assetsof the Fund would have increased or decreased by $2,421,009 (December 31, 2016 - $3,892,709). As atDecember 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Fund had no securities sold short.

Credit riskCredit risk is the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal payments.

The Fund is exposed to several types of credit risks including the risk that one or more investments inthe Portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer ofthe security experiences a decline in its financial status. As at December 31, 2017, the maximumexposure to any one debt issuer in the Portfolio was $2,237,305 (December 31, 2016 - $6,969,785)representing 4.50% (December 31, 2016 - 9.61%) of net assets attributable to redeemable units.

The performance of the Fund is also subject to general economic and specific industry conditions thatcould impact the fair value of one or more debt securities in the Portfolio. Securities with lower ratingstend to be more sensitive to these kinds of risks.

As at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the Fund was invested in debt securities with thefollowing credit ratings.

December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016

The Investment Manager seeks to mitigate the above credit risk through the careful selection ofinvestments, through the employment of experienced portfolio managers and through continuousmonitoring of the Fund's investments.

2017 Annual Financial Statements | 15

Page 18: [THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]/media/Files/B/Brookfield-BI… · 2017 Brookfield Select Opportunities Income Fund BSO.UN Annual Financial Statements For the period from January

Another type of credit risk is exposure to the creditworthiness of the Fund's trading counterparties. Allsecurities transactions executed by the Fund are settled upon delivery using approved brokers. The riskof payment default is considered negligible, as delivery of securities sold is only made once the brokerhas received payment on behalf of the Fund. Payment is not made on a purchase until the securitieshave been received by the broker on behalf of the Fund. The trade will fail if either party fails to meetits obligation.

The Fund may enter into derivative contracts for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to,(i) for the purposes of hedging as defined in NI-81-102 and (ii) as a substitute for purchasing or sellingsecurities. Derivative contracts involve risks arising from the possible inability of counterparties tomeet the terms of their contracts due to movement in currency, security values and interest rates. TheFund seeks to mitigate this risk through the careful selection of its derivative counterparties.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at areasonable price.

The Fund has current financial liabilities outstanding, including but not limited to, margin loans andinterest payable on its margin loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Investment Managerseeks to mitigate this liquidity risk by ensuring that a reasonable portion of the Fund's investmentstrade in active markets and can be sold readily. There can be no assurance that an adequate market forthe investments will exist at all times, or that the prices at which the investments trade, accuratelyreflect their fair value. Low trading volumes of the investments could also make it difficult to liquidateholdings quickly.

As required by IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments, the Fund’s financial liabilities should be categorized intorelevant maturity groupings based on the remaining year as at December 31, 2017, to the contractualmaturity date. However, as all liabilities, including liabilities for redeemable units tendered forredemption as of the applicable balance sheet date (of which there were none as at December 31, 2017and December 31, 2016), are due in less than one year, this analysis is not required in this instance. Inaccordance with the Fund’s policy, the Investment Manager monitors the Fund’s overall liquidity risk ona continuous basis.

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Fund uses a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for disclosing fair value which reflects thesignificance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The hierarchy has the following levels:

• Level 1 - quoted prices in an active market (Level 1—unadjusted inputs);• Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2—directly or indirectly derived from

observational market data); and• Level 3 - inputs not based on observable market data (Level 3—unobservable inputs).

In addition to the above disclosure requirements, IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement, requires disclosureof significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior reporting period, as well as reconciliationof Level 3 assets, disclosing separately changes during the reporting period attributable to:(i) total gains or losses recognized in net income, and a description of where they are presented

in the income statement;(ii) purchases, sales, issues and settlements; and(iii) transfers into or out of Level 3 and the reasons for those transfers. Any significant transfers

between Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed. Further, for fair value measurements in Level 3,

Page 19: [THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]/media/Files/B/Brookfield-BI… · 2017 Brookfield Select Opportunities Income Fund BSO.UN Annual Financial Statements For the period from January

if changing one or more type of the inputs to reasonably possible alternative assumptionswould change fair value significantly, the entity shall state this fact and disclose both theeffect of those changes and how the effect was calculated.

The following tables provide a summary of the inputs used as at December 31, 2017 and December 31,2016, respectively, in valuing the Fund's investments carried at fair value:

The carrying values of cash, accrued investment income, due to and due from broker, distributionspayable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the Fund’s obligations for Net Assets attributableto holders of redeemable units approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no Level 3 assets held by the Fund, nor werethere significant transfers between levels.

The following provides details of the categorization in the fair value hierarchy by asset classes:

a) EquitiesThe Fund's equity positions are classified as Level 1 when the security is actively traded and a reliableprice is observable.

b) Fixed incomeFixed income includes primarily corporate bonds which are valued at the bid price provided byrecognized investment dealers or fair value inputs determined by the Fund's Valuation Committee.These prices and inputs are observable and therefore the Fund's corporate bonds and term loans havebeen classified as Level 2.

c) Derivative assets and liabilitiesDerivative assets and liabilities consist of forward currency contracts and total return equity swaps.Forward currency contracts are valued based primarily on the contract notional amount, the differencebetween the contract rate and the forward market rate for the same currency, interest rates and creditspreads. Forward currency contracts for which counterparty credit spreads are observable and

reliable, or for which credit-related inputs are determined not to be significant to fair value areclassified as Level 2. Equity total return swaps are valued by comparing the fair value of the underlyingequity security to the notional amount of the swap. As the value of equity total return swaps arederived from the observable market price of the underlying equity security, the equity total returnswaps are classified as Level 2.

7. BORROWINGS

Leverage is restricted to 25% of the total assets for the Fund. Accordingly, at the time of borrowing, themaximum amount of leverage that the Fund could employ is 1.33:1 (total long positions (includingleveraged positions) divided by net assets of the Fund). As at December 31, 2017, the Fund hademployed leverage equal to 11.7% (12.0% - December 31, 2016) of net assets, equating to $5.8 million($8.7 million - December 31, 2016) which includes both margin payable and leverage obtained throughderivatives. This minimum and maximum amount of borrowings outstanding during the year endedDecember 31, 2017 was $0.0 and $13.5 million, respectively. The minimum and maximum amount ofborrowings outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $0.0 and $26.1 million,respectively. The Fund has certain securities pledged as collateral against the margin payable balance.At December 31, 2017, the Fund held $4.7 million in cash (December 31, 2016 - $3.2 million) ascollateral with a counterparty in connection with the derivative positions. As at December 31, 2017,the total fair value of securities pledged as collateral was $9.4 million (As at December 31, 2016 -$13.2 million). The borrowings may be used to grow the Fund's investments and for working capitalneeds. Adding a controlled amount of leverage to the Fund is consistent with the Fund's objectives.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Fund qualifies as a mutual fund trust under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, accordingly, is notsubject to tax on the portion of its income, including net realized capital gains for its taxation year thatis paid or payable to Unitholders. Income tax on net realized capital gains not paid or payable will begenerally recoverable by virtue of refunding provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) andprovincial income tax legislation, as redemptions occur. It is the intention of the Fund to pay all nettaxable income and sufficient net taxable gains so that the Fund will not be subject to income taxes.The Fund may distribute more than it earns, in which case the excess distribution is a return of capitaland is not taxable to Unitholders.

No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as allincome and net realized capital gains are to be distributed to the Unitholders. Capital losses realizedin excess of those utilized to offset realized capital gains in the current taxation year can be carriedforward indefinitely and may be applied against future years’ capital gains. Non-capital losses may becarried forward for a period of 20 years and applied against future years’ taxable income. As atDecember 31, 2017 the Fund had $42,601,611 in capital losses and $16,972,157 in non-capital losses.

The non capital losses as at December 31, 2017 and their year of expiration are detailed in the tablebelow:
