  • Obtained signed letters of intent with three builders to construct homes on all of the lots in Phase 1.

  • Selected a real estate company to represent the Corporation in the sale of the multi-family apartment site in Phase 1.

  • Continued to review the hotel site in Phase 1 with a potential lodging group. Subsequently, in April a formal offer was received from the group and is under review.

  • Continued to participate along with other companies in the Walton Group of Companies in relation to the potential site for a new headquarters facility for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The submission is in competition to a number of proposals submitted by other organizations.

  • A term sheet was executed with an arm's length institutional lender in the amount of $39,000,000 and the commitment was subsequently approved by the bank's loan committee in March.

  • Subsequently, the Corporation announced in May that its U.S. subsidiary, Walton Westphalia Development (USA), LLC, entered into a loan agreement with one or more lenders affiliated with Walton Asset Management LP, to borrow $3,500,000 to cover pre-development costs incurred prior to obtaining arm's length construction loans that the Corporation and the U.S. subsidiary will put in place for Phase 1 construction of the Westphalia property

Given that the project remains on track both financially and from a timing perspective, management believes that the project remains on track for achieving its investment objectives.
