The corrected release reads:

WALTON YELLOWHEAD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

Walton Yellowhead Development Corporation (the "Corporation") announced today its results for the first quarter of 2013.

First Quarter Financial Results

During the first quarter of 2013, the Corporation generated total revenues of $461 (March 31, 2012 - $4,815) and incurred total expenses of $190,400 (March 31, 2012 - $194,160), which translated into a net loss before tax of $189,939 (March 31, 2012 - $189,345).

The amount of revenues and expenditures incurred by the Corporation to date are not materially inconsistent with the amounts originally anticipated by management given the current stage of development. Due to the delay in obtaining municipal approvals and the revised scope of work to service the project when evaluated against the original assumptions used by management in preparing the prospectus, the Corporation's ability to meet the investment objectives as outlined in the prospectus may be adversely impacted.

While management has made adjustments to the development plan to enable completion of the project within the approximate three-year investment time frame, it is still obtaining additional information which will allow it to evaluate what impact these changes may have on the targeted internal rate of return for the project. Management will report back to investors once an evaluation is complete.

Highlights for the First Quarter

During the first quarter of 2013, the Corporation:

  • Submitted a revised tentative plan to the City of Edmonton to address concerns raised by the Transportation Department on the originally planned alignment for 118A Avenue. Subsequently, the Transportation Department recommended approval of the application for subdivision.

  • Commenced preparing a detailed design and engineering drawings, including, an update to the Neighbourhood Design Report in accordance with the accepted servicing solution.

  • Started preparing tender documents to obtain contract prices for work to service the property including earthworks, underground utilities and surface works.

The Corporation held a working session meeting with its Board of Directors to evaluate what impact the revisions to the servicing concept and transportation-related design imposed by the City of Edmonton would have on the overall investment objectives of the Corporation, and to consider what steps the Corporation could take to address any deviations in cash flows and project timing, when compared to the project's initial assumptions. The Corporation is still obtaining additional information which will allow it to evaluate what impact these changes may have on the targeted internal rate of return for the project.

Launched in 2011, the Corporation owns a 131.4-acre industrial development within the Winterburn Industrial Park, in northwest Edmonton, Alberta, which is marketed under the name "Yellowhead Industrial Park."
