CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walton Edgemont Development Corporation (the "Corporation") announced today the Corporation's results for the third quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Corporation generated total revenues of $15,654 and incurred total expenses of $246,057, which translated into a net loss before tax of $230,403. The revenues generated by the Corporation consisted of interest income earned on the cash held by the Corporation.

On a year-to-date basis, the Corporation generated total revenues of $38,243 and incurred total expenses of $701,088, which translated into a net loss before tax of $662,845.

The total expenses primarily consisted of $435,002 in costs for the management of the Corporation, $104,557 in servicing fees, and $70,707 in marketing expenses. The increase in management fees, servicing fees and marketing expense was offset by a $450,000 decrease in organizational expenses, which were incurred during the comparative period in relation to the Corporation's prospectus and private placement offerings. The nature and amount of expenses incurred during the year-to-date period were consistent with management's expectations for the period. The overall net loss incurred during the third quarter of 2012 was consistent with management's expectations because the Corporation is not expected to generate significant revenue, except during periods when the sale of lots is completed.
Highlights For The Third Quarter
During the third quarter, the following milestones were achieved:
In August, the Corporation executed a draft of the development servicing agreement ("Development Servicing Agreement") for the Phase 1 of the project with the City of Edmonton. This agreement allows the Corporation to commence underground utility construction for Phase 1 of the project while the Development Servicing Agreement is being finalized by the City; and
During September, the Corporation commenced installation of the underground utilities for Phase 1 of the project.
In comparison to the anticipated completion dates for the Phase 1 milestones as reported for the second quarter of 2012, the anticipated completion dates for some of the remaining Phase 1 milestones are slightly behind schedule. These delays are not, however, expected to affect the ability of the Corporation to complete the project within the approximate six-year time frame disclosed in the Corporation's prospectus and offering memorandum, and remains on track for achieving an internal rate of return of 13.5%.
