Reports First Quarter 2013 Results

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Walton Big Lake Development L.P. (the "Partnership"), and its general partner Walton Big Lake Development Corporation announced today the Partnership's results for the first quarter of 2013.

First Quarter Financial Results


During the first quarter ending March 31, 2013, the Partnership generated a net loss of $319,392(March 31, 2012 - $164,810).

The net loss incurred during the first quarter ending March 31, 2013, was the result of other expenses of $319,392(March 31, 2012 - $164,810). The increase in other expenses during the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to interest expense incurred during the first quarter of 2013 of $129,452 (March 31, 2012 - $nil). The interest expense incurred during the first quarter of 2013 was in respect of the Partnership's $5.0 million mezzanine loan with Walton Finance Ltd.

The amount of revenues and expenditures incurred by the Partnership to date are not, however, materially inconsistent with amounts originally anticipated by management, given the Project's current stage of development.

Highlights for the First Quarter

During the first quarter of 2013, the Partnership commenced:

  • construction of the stormwater ponds in the central area of the project; and

  • the engineering design for the Phase 2 of the project.

Due to the delays experienced in Phase 1 of the project, the timing of cash flows is not consistent with the timing of cash flows originally anticipated by management when preparing the prospectus. Despite the delays, management believes that the overall project remains on track for achieving its investment objectives.

Additional Information

Launched in 2010, the Partnership owns a 136.5-acre residential project in northwest Edmonton, Alberta. The project is being developed in three phases and marketed under the name "Hawk's Ridge at Big Lake."

The Partnership is managed by Walton Asset Management L.P. and the development of the properties is managed by Walton Development and Management (Alberta) LP, both of which are members of the Walton Group.
