42011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation

CEO Message to ShareholdersWe are pleased to present the Annual Report for Walton Edgemont Development Corporation (the “Corporation”). Launched in 2011, the Corporation owns a four-phase residential development located in southwest Edmonton.

As you read through this report, which details the Corporation’s first year of operations, you will see the factors that contribute to our confidence in this project – it is strategically situated in the anticipated path of growth, it is professionally-managed and it follows a well-developed strategy that is consistent with local priorities.

Project Milestones

Having raised the required capital as planned, the Corporation acquired the intended land. We will now focus our efforts on meeting specific development criteria throughout the life of this project. Management expects that the project will be completed within the approximate time frame disclosed in the prospectus.

The following summarizes several milestones relating to the Corporation: Q3 2011 Completed an initial public offering and private placement (collectively, the “Offerings”). The gross proceeds raised from the Offerings were $30,000,000.

Q4 2011 Completed the acquisition of the Edgemont Properties.

Q4 2011 Obtained a $29.2 million construction loan to finance Phase 1 of the project.

Q4 2011 Commenced preliminary grading for Phase 1 of the project.

52011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation

Market Environment

Edmonton’s GDP is forecasted to grow 3.4% in 2012 and unemployment is projected to drop from 5.5% at the end of 2011 to 5.2% in 20121. Edmonton’s economy is fuelled by a strong energy sector comprised of primary and secondary industries that support the exploration, mining and processing of oil from the Athabasca oilsands of the industrial north. There is renewed interest and significant investment into several long term mega projects that should provide stimulus and benefit not only to Edmonton’s energy related industries but also to increasingly diversified non-related industries within the larger economy.

Edmonton’s strong economic prospects are anticipated to create a significant number of new jobs in 2012, increasing total employment in Edmonton. Edmonton is forecasted to add approximately 10,000 jobs in 2012, bringing total employment in Edmonton to approximately 681,000 jobs1.

Increased employment will contribute to accelerated in-migration, and will result in population growth, further supporting housing demand. Lot servicing activity has continued its positive trend in 2011 since hitting low levels during the recession in 2009. Given the expected increase in housing demand, combined with the slowdown in the growth of housing supply seen in 2009, we anticipate that new housing units will need to be brought to market to keep up with expected demand which will benefit the project. Total housing starts for 2012 are forecasted to be approximately 9,820 units2.

Goals

Overall, the Corporation’s development project is proceeding as planned.

Our goals for 2012 are to:• obtain contractual commitments from homebuilders for Phase 1 lots; • complete Phase 1 construction, deliver lots to homebuilders and open show homes to the public; and• make first distribution on the units comprised of interest payment, plus either principal repayments and or dividends

As Canada and the U.S. move into the next phase of economic growth in 2012, Walton maintains an optimistic outlook for our managed real estate investments. Our investment team is working collaboratively with local authorities to create successful, smart-growth communities that realize the highest and best use of our lands, ultimately attaining your and our investment goals. Our experience is that, with expert management and Walton’s carefully crafted approach, quality investments prevail.

Thank you for your investment in the Corporation, and thank you for your support and confidence in the Walton Group of Companies.

Best regards,

Bill DohertyChief Executive OfficerWalton Edgemont Development Corporation

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and the period from May 5, 2011 to December 31, 2011

March  26,  2012  

The  following  management’s  discussion  and  analysis  (“MD&A”)  is  a  review  of  the  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  of  Walton  Edgemont  Development  Corporation  (the  “Corporation”)  for  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2011  and  the  period  from  May  5,  2011  to  December  31,  2011.  The  MD&A  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Corporation’s  audited  financial  statements  for  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011,  and  the  prospectus  (“Prospectus”)  of  the  Corporation  dated  June  27,  2011.  

All  financial  information  is  reported  in  Canadian  dollars  and  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  ("IFRS”)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”).  As  this  is  the  first  year  of  operations  of  the  Corporation,  these  financial  statements  have  also  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  IFRS  1:  First-­‐time  Adoption  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards.  In  limited  situations,  IFRS  has  not  issued  rules  and  guidance  applicable  to  the  real  estate  investment  and  development  industry.  In  such  instances,  the  Corporation  has  followed  guidance  issued  by  the  Real  Property  Association  of  Canada  to  the  extent  that  such  guidance  does  not  conflict  with  the  requirements  under  IFRS  or  the  definitions,  recognition  criteria  and  measurement  concepts  for  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses  in  the  IFRS  framework.    

Additional  information  about  the  Corporation  is  available  on  SEDAR  at  www.sedar.com.  

Critical Accounting Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  information  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets,  liabilities  and  equity  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements,  and  the  reported  amount  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  period.  The  estimates  and  assumptions  that  have  the  most  significant  effect  on  the  amounts  recognized  in  the  Corporation’s  financial  statements  are  related  to  the  recoverability  of  land  held  for  development  and  land  development  costs,  and  the  recognition  of  future  tax  assets.  In  assessing  the  recoverability  of  land  held  for  development  and  land  development  costs,    management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  regarding  the  sale  price  for  serviced  lots,  the  costs  to  service  the  lots,  the  timing  of  lot  sales,  the  completion  date  for  the  serviced  lots  and  the  Corporation’s  cost  of  capital.  In  assessing  the  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  to  recognize,  significant  judgment  is  required  in  determining  the  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  that  can  be  recognized,  which  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumption  regarding  the  likelihood,  timing  and  level  of  future  taxable  profits.  Changes  in  these  estimates  and  assumptions  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  those  reported.

 

Forward-looking Statements

Certain  information  set  forth  in  this  material,  including  the  disclosure  of  the  anticipated  completion  dates  of  key  project  milestones,  are  based  on  the  Corporation’s  current  expectations,  intentions,  plans  and  beliefs,  which  are  based  on  experience  and  the  Corporation’s  assessment  of  historical  and  future  trends.  Such  forward-­‐looking  statements  necessarily  involve  known  and  unknown  risks  and  uncertainties,  many  of  which  are  beyond  management’s  control.  These  risks  and  uncertainties  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  the  timing  of  approval  by  municipalities,  the  estimated  time  required  for  construction  and  the  business  and  general  economic  environment.  These  uncertainties  may  cause  the  Corporation’s  actual  performance,  as  well  as  financial  results  in  future  periods,  to  differ  materially  from  any  projections  of  future  performance  or  results  expressed  or  implied  by  such  forward-­‐looking  statements.  Investors  are  cautioned  against  attributing  undue  certainty  to  forward-­‐looking  statements  as  actual  results  could  differ  materially  from  management’s  targets,  expectations  or  estimates.  

Responsibility of Management

This  MD&A  has  been  prepared  by,  and  is  the  responsibility  of,  the  management  of  the  Corporation.    

Approval by the Board of Directors

The  MD&A  was  authorized  for  issue  by  the  board  of  directors  on  March  26,  2012.  

Business Overview

The  Corporation  was  established  on  May  5,  2011  for  the  purpose  and  objective  of  providing  investors  with  the  opportunity    to  participate  in  the  acquisition  and  development  of  the  approximately  201.5  acre  “Edgemont”  properties  located  in  the  Southwest  corner  of  Edmonton,  Alberta  (the  “Properties”).  Access  is  provided  by  199th  Street  via  Lessard  Road,  which  intersects  Anthony  Henday  Drive  (Edmonton’s  ring  road)  approximately  one  kilometre  to  the  north  of  the  Properties.    The  Properties  are  bounded  to  the  south  by  the  Wedgewood  Ravine,  which  provides  an  attractive  setting  for  a  residential  development  and  adds  significant  amenity  value  to  the  future  community.    

The  Properties  are  included  in  the  Edgemont  Neighbourhood  Area  Structure  Plan,  the  bylaw  for  which  passed  third  and  final  reading  by  Edmonton  City  Council  on  June  22,  2011.  The  development  plan  prepared  for  the  project  by  Walton  Development  and  Management  L.P.  (“WDM”),  which  will  manage  the  project,  includes  primarily  "single-­‐family"  lots  suitable  for  starter  and  move-­‐up  homes,  "low-­‐density  residential"  which  can  accommodate  multi-­‐family  development,  and  an  environmental  reserve,  natural  areas,  green  space  and  parks.  In  total,  the  project  is  anticipated  to  consist  of  approximately  672  single-­‐family  lots,  5.1  acres  of  multi-­‐family  development,  and  associated  parks  and  natural  areas.    

In  order  to  raise  sufficient  capital  for  the  acquisition  and  development  of  the  Properties,  the  Corporation  completed  an  initial  public  offering  (“IPO”)  and  follow-­‐up  private  placement  (“Private  Placement”)  of  units  during  the  third  quarter  of  2011.    Each  unit  issued  by  the  Corporation  (“Unit”)  was  comprised  of  a  $7.50  principal  amount  of  unsecured,  subordinated,  convertible,  extendable  debenture  bearing  simple  interest  at  a  rate  of  8%  (“Debenture”)  and  one  class  B  non-­‐voting  common  share  (“Class  B  share”)  having  a  price  of  $2.50.  Following  the  completion  of  the  IPO  and  Private  Placement  (collectively,    the  “Offerings”),  the  Corporation  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  Properties  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011.

The  Corporation’s  investment  objectives  are  to:    

i.) preserve  the  capital  investment  of  the  purchasers  in  the  Units;  ii.) make  annual  cash  distributions  on  the  Units  beginning  in  September  2012  until  the  final  distribution  of  funds  from    

the  project,  which  is  anticipated  to  be  in  December  of  2016;  and  iii.) achieve  a  net  internal  rate  of  return  of  13.5%  on  the  $10.00  purchase  price  of  the  Units.  

The  Corporation  intends  to  preserve  the  capital  investment  of  the  purchasers  of  Units  in  the  Corporation  and  provide  cash  distributions  on  the  Units  by  executing  the  following  four-­‐step  investment  strategy:      

i.) acquire  the  Properties;  ii.) obtain  contractual  commitments  from  home  builders  to  purchase  lots  to  be  serviced  in  each  of  the  four  planned  

phases  of  the  development  of  the  Properties  before  construction  commences  on  that  phase;  iii.) construct  municipal  services  infrastructure  on  the  Properties  in  phases  to  provide  a  controlled  supply  of  serviced    

lots  to  the  marketplace;  and  iv.) use  the  revenue  from  the  sale  of  the  serviced  lots  to  repay  construction  loans  and  other  obligations  of  the  

Corporation  and  then  pay  the  remainder  to  the  holders  of  the  Debentures  and  Class  B  shares  by  paying  the  interest  and  principal  on  the  Debentures  by  declaring  a  dividend  or  dividends  on  the  Class  B  shares  and/or  winding  up  the  Corporation  and  distributing  its  assets  to  the  holders  of  the  Class  B  shares.  

Although  management  expects  that  the  execution  of  the  investment  strategy  will  allow  the  Corporation  to  pay  distributions    on  the  Units,  distributions  by  the  Corporation  are  neither  guaranteed  nor  will  they  be  paid  in  a  steady  or  stable  stream.    The  amounts  and  timing  of  any  distributions  will  be  at  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Corporation  and  only  after  the  Corporation    has  paid  or  reserved  funds  for  its  expenses,  liabilities  and  commitments  (other  than  with  respect  to  the  Debentures),    including  (i)  the  fees  payable  to  Walton  Asset  Management  L.P.  (“WAM”)  and  WDM  (including  the  performance  fee),    and  (ii)  any  amounts  outstanding,  on  a  phase  by  phase  basis,  under  the  construction  loans  required  to  develop  the  Properties.  The  performance  fee  is  only  payable  provided  that  the  investors  of  Units  in  the  Corporation  have  received  cash  payments    or  distributions  equal  to  $10.00  per  Unit,  plus  a  simple  cumulative  priority  return  thereon,  equal  to  8%  per  annum.  

The  registered  office  and  principal  place  of  business  is  23rd  floor,  605  –  5th  Avenue  SW,  Calgary,  Alberta,  T2P  3H5.

In  comparison  with  the  anticipated  completion  date  for  the  key  project  milestones  for  Phase  1,  the  project  has  experienced  some  delays  in  achieving  these  milestones  during  the  period.  Notwithstanding  these  delays,  management  expects  that  the  project  will  be  completed  within  the  approximate  six-­‐year  time  frame  disclosed  in  the  Prospectus  and  Offering  Memorandum  (collectively,  the  “Offering  Documents”).  

During  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  generated  total  revenues  of  $64,479.  These  revenues  were  comprised  of  interest  earned  on  the  Corporation’s  cash  on  hand.  The  total  expenses  during  the  period  were  $831,595  and  primarily  consisted  of  $450,000  in  costs  relating  to  the  Offerings,  $247,007  in  costs  incurred  for  the  management  of  the  Corporation  and  $60,552  in  servicing  fees  paid  to  the  agents  who  sold  Units  through  the  Offerings.  The  nature  and  amount  of  the  expenses  incurred  by  the  Corporation  during  the  period  was  consistent  with  management’s  expectations.  The  overall  net  loss  incurred  by  the  Corporation  during  the  period  of  $561,989  was  also  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.  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  

As  at  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  had  total  assets  of  $30,373,009,  total  liabilities  of  $23,554,639  and  total  shareholders’  equity  of  $6,818,370.  The  most  significant  assets  of  the  Corporation  were  land  held  for  development  of  $26,725,977,  cash  of  $2,074,371  and  land  development  costs  of  $1,365,598.  The  liabilities  were  comprised  of  debentures  payable  of  $22,184,572  and  current  liabilities  of  $1,370,067.    

As  at  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  was  highly  leveraged  and  this  is  expected  to  increase  over  the  next  year  as  the  Corporation  draws  on  the  construction  loan  to  fund  the  ongoing  administrative  and  operating  expenses,  management  fee,  development  fee,  pre-­‐development  costs,  construction  costs  and  other  expenses  of  the  Corporation.  The  high  amount  of  leveraging  employed  by  the  Corporation  is  however,  consistent  with  the  planned  capital  structure  of  the  Corporation.  As  the  development  of  the  Properties  proceeds,  the  Corporation  will  use  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  serviced  lots  to  make  interest  and  principal  repayments  on  both  the  construction  loan  and  the  debentures  payable.    

The  Corporation  expects  that  the  cash  on  hand  at  December  31,  2011,  in  combination  with  the  phase  1  construction  loan,    will  be  sufficient  to  finance  Phase  1  of  the  project  and  the  ongoing  expenses  of  the  Corporation  during  that  time.  As  long  as    the  project  continues  as  anticipated,  the  Corporation  does  not  foresee  any  significant  challenges  in  financing  or  completing    the  remaining  phases  of  the  project.    

Initial Public Offering and Private Placement

On  June  27,  2011,  the  Corporation  filed  the  Prospectus  for  the  IPO  of  3,000,000  Units  of  the  Corporation  at  a  price  of    $10  per  Unit.  The  IPO  of  the  Corporation  was  completed  on  July  15,  2011  and  resulted  in  the  issuance  of  2,577,200  Units    of  the  Corporation.  The  closing  of  the  IPO  was  followed  by  the  commencement  of  the  Private  Placement  on  July  18,  2011    for  the  remaining  of  422,800  Units.  The  Private  Placement  was  successfully  completed  on  September  30,  2011  and  resulted    in  the  issuance  of  422,800  Units.  Each  Unit  issued  through  the  Offerings  was  comprised  of  one  Debenture  and  one  Class  B  share.  Of  the  $30,000,000  gross  proceeds  raised  from  the  Offerings,  $22,500,000  was  paid  as  consideration  for  the  debenture  payable  and  $7,500,000  was  paid  as  consideration  for  the  Class  B  shares.  The  total  costs  associated  with  the  Offerings  were  comprised  of  commissions  and  a  work  fee  payable  to  the  agents  of  $1,617,280  and  costs  incurred  for  the  preparation  of  the  Offerings  of  $450,000.  Of  the  commissions  and  work  fee,  $1,212,960  was  allocated  to  the  debenture  component  and  $404,320  was  allocated  to  the  share  component  based  on  their  proportionate  share  of  the  gross  proceeds  raised.  The  costs  incurred    for  the  preparation  of  the  Offerings  have  been  recognized  as  an  expense.  The  net  proceeds  raised  from  the  Offerings  of  $27,932,720  were  consistent  with  the  net  proceeds  anticipated  by  management  and  as  disclosed  in  the  Offering  Documents.    

 

Acquisition of the Properties

On  October  12,  2011,  the  Corporation  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  approximately  117.93  acres  of  land  (“Parcel  C”),    part  of  which,  which  will  be  developed  as  part  of  Phase  1  of  the  project.  The  acquisition  was  completed  through  the  payment  of  $14,987,223  to  unrelated  parties  for  113.05  acres,  and  the  issuance  of  68,079  Units  to  WIGI  for  an  equivalent  value  of  $645,052  for  the  remaining  4.88  acres.  

On  November  30,  2011,  the  Corporation  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  remaining  83.6  acres  of  the  Properties  (“Parcels  A  and  B”)  .  The  acquisition  was  completed  through  the  payment  of  $10,600,428  to  unrelated  parties  for  79.96  acres,  and  the  issuance  of  52,060  Units  to  WIGI  for  an  equivalent  value  of  $493,274  for  the  remaining  3.73  acres.  

In  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Walton  Contribution  Agreements  between  WIGI  and  the  Corporation,  the  details  of  which  have  been  outlined  in  the  Offering  Documents,  the  Units  issued  to  WIGI  were  issued  at  a  price  of  $9.475  per  Unit.  This  price  was  determined  by  taking  the  $10/Unit  issue  price  paid  by  the  Corporation’s  existing  investors  of  Units  in  the  Corporation,    less  the  $0.525  in  selling  commissions  since  neither  WIGI  nor  the  Corporation  was  obliged  to  pay  selling  commissions  as  part    of  the  land  for  Unit  exchange.

Organizational costs

Organizational  costs  are  comprised  of  the  legal,  accounting,  audit,  printing,  filing,  transfer  agent  and  other  costs  incurred  by    the  Corporation  associated  with  the  preparation  for  the  Offerings  and  the  preparation  of  the  Offering  Documents.  During  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  incurred  total  organizational  costs  of  $450,000.  These  costs  were  consistent  with  the  costs  anticipated  by  management  as  outlined  in  the  Offering  Documents.  Given  that  the  Corporation  does  not  plan  on  raising  any  additional  equity  over  the  life  of  the  Corporation,  management  does  not  expect  to  incur  any  organizational  costs  in  future  periods.

ii.) thereafter,  from  July  1,  2016  until  the  termination  date  of  the  Management  Services  Agreement,  an  amount  equal    to  2%  of  the  book  value  of  the  Properties.

During  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  incurred  commissions,  a  work  fee,  and  servicing  fees  of  $1,575,000,  $42,280  and  $60,552,  respectively.  The  commissions  and  work  fee  have  been  accounted  for  as  a  reduction  to  the  initial  carrying  amount  of  the  debentures  payable  and  share  capital,  while  the  servicing  fee  has  been  recognized  as  an  expense  during  the  period.  The  amount  of  the  commissions,  work  fee,  and  servicing  fees  incurred  during  the  period  were  consistent  with  the  costs  anticipated  by  management,  as  outlined  in  the  Offering  Documents.

i.) WDM  will  receive  a  development  fee,  plus  applicable  taxes  equal  to  2%  of  certain  development  costs  incurred  in  the  calendar  quarter,  payable  within  60  days  of  the  end  of  such  quarter.    

ii.) WDM  will  receive  a  performance  fee,  plus  applicable  taxes,  equal  to  25%  of  cash  distributions  after  all  investors  of  Units  in  the  Corporation  have  received  cash  payments  or  distributions  equal  to  $10  per  Unit,  plus  an  8%  priority  return.  The  priority  return  is  calculated  on  that  $10  amount  per  Unit,  reduced  by  any  cash  payments  or  distributions  by  the  Corporation.    

For  the  period  from  May  5,  2011  to  December  31,  2011,  the  total  development  fee  charged  to  the  Corporation    was  $1,075.  This  amount  has  been  capitalized  as  part  of  land  development  costs.  

No  performance  fee  was  incurred  by  the  Corporation  during  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011  because  the    $10  per  Unit  amount  and  the  cumulative  priority  return  have  not  been  received  by  the  investors  of  Units  in    the  Corporation.  

As  at  December  31,  2011,  balance  owing  to  WDM  was  comprised  of  the  development  fee  and  land  improvement  costs,  which  were  paid  for  by  WDM  on  behalf  of  the  Corporation  but  are  reimbursable  by  the  Corporation.  

1389211 Alberta Ltd.  

On  May  5,  2011,  the  Corporation  issued  to  1389211  Alberta  Ltd.  100  Class  A  voting  common  shares  (“Class  A  shares”)  for  total  consideration  of  $100.  

Key Management Compensation

Key  management  personnel  are  comprised  of  the  Corporation’s  directors  and  executive  officers.  The  total  compensation  expense  incurred  by  the  Corporation  relating  to  its  directors  was  as  follows:  

For the period from May 5, 2011 to

December 31, 2011 $  

 Director  fees   34,339  

All  services  performed  for  the  Corporation  by  its  executive  officers  is  governed  by  the  Management  Services  Agreement.  The  annual  management  fee  that  WAM  receives  under  the  Management  Services  Agreement  has  been  disclosed  above.  

Non-Financial Indicators

The  amount  of  revenues  generated  by  the  Corporation  is  not  expected  to  be  significant,  until  the  sale  of  lots  commences.    As  a  result,  the  financial  statements  alone  are  not  a  good  indicator  of  the  progress  of  the  Corporation  toward  its  investment  objectives.  The  Corporation  makes  use  of  the  following  non-­‐financial  indicators  in  evaluating  its  performance.  

Key Milestones

For  Phase  1  of  the  project,  the  key  milestones  used  by  management  include  those  presented  in  the  Offering  Documents.  The  Corporation’s  progress  toward  these  milestones  has  been  summarized  in  the  following  table.

Lot Activity Report

In  November  2011,  the  Corporation  received  expressions  of  interest  from  four  homebuilders  to  acquire  91  of  the  176  Phase  1  lots.  Executed  purchase  and  sale  agreements  for  those  and  initial  deposits  for  the  91  lots  were  received  in  February  and  March  2012.

Phases 2, 3 and 4

The  steps  to  complete  Phases  2,  3  and  4  of  the  project  are  substantially  the  same  as  the  milestones  for  Phase  1.    The  commencement  dates  for  Phase  2,  3  and  4  have  not  yet  been  determined,  and  the  expected  completion  dates    of  their  key  milestones  will  be  determined  closer  to  the  commencement  of  those  phases.

Review of Fourth Quarter Operations

Having  successfully  completed  the  Offerings  during  the  third  quarter  of  2011,  the  Corporation  undertook  the  following  activities  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011:  

• The  Corporation  completed  the  acquisition  of  Parcel  C  on  October  12,  2011  and  Parcels  A  and  B  on  November  30,  2011.  In  total,  the  acquisition  of  the  Properties  was  completed  through  the  payment  of  $25,587,651  to  unrelated  parties  for  193  acres,  and  the  issuance  of  120,139  Units  to  WIGI  for  an  equivalent  value  of  $1,138,317,  for  the  remaining  8.6  acres.    

• In  November  2011,  the  Corporation  negotiated  the  final  terms  for  the  Phase  1  construction  loan.    The  Phase  1  construction  loan  will  help  to  finance  pre-­‐development,  development,  grading  and  construction    of  Phase  1  of  the  project.  

• In  November  2011,  the  Corporation  received  expressions  of  interest  from  four  builders  who  will  acquire  91    of  the  176  Phase  1  lots.    

• The  Corporation  commenced  preliminary  grading  of  the  Phase  1  lands,  including  the  Phase  1  show  homes  area,    in  November  2011.    

Although  some  of  the  above  activities  were  completed  later  than  the  completion  date  initially  anticipated  by  management,  these  delays  are  not  expected  to  affect  the  ability  of  the  Corporation  to  complete  the  project  within  the  approximate  six-­‐year  time  frame  disclosed  in  the  Offering  Documents.  

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  the  Corporation  incurred  total  expenses  of  $197,391,  which  primarily  consisted  of  $122,778  in  costs  incurred  for  the  management  of  the  Corporation,  $34,820  in  servicing  fees  paid  to  the  agents  who  sold  Units  through  the  Offerings,  and  $13,032  in  director  fees.  The  nature  and  amount  of  the  expenses  incurred  by  the  Corporation  during  the  fourth  quarter  were  consistent  with  management’s  expectations.  The  net  loss  before  taxes  incurred  by  the  Corporation  during  the  fourth  quarter  was  also  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.    

On  an  after  tax  basis,  the  Corporation  generated  net  income  of  $7,736  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011.  The  deferred  tax  recovery  recognized  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  $205,127  was  in  respect  of  prior  period  tax  losses  which  met  the  recognition  criteria  under  IFRS  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011.    

 

Summary of Quarterly Results

A  summary  of  operating  results  for  the  past  three  quarters  is  as  follows:    

 

1  -­‐  Class  A  shares  outstanding  have  not  been  included  in  the  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  because  the  Class  A  shares  do  not  participate  in  the  profits  or  losses  of  the  Corporation.  

2  –  The  Corporation  was  formed  on  May  5,  2011.  As  a  result,  the  period  ended  June  30,  2011  was  from  May  5,  2011  –  June  30,  2011.  

 

During  the  periods  ended  June  30,  2011  and  September  30,  2011,  the  main  focus  of  the  Corporation  was  to  raise  sufficient  capital  to  enable  the  Corporation  to  execute  its  investment  strategy.  This  was  accomplished  through  the  successful  completion  of  the  Offerings  during  the  third  quarter  of  2011.  In  total,  the  Offerings  resulted  in  the  issuance  of  3,000,000  Units  of  the  Corporation  for  gross  proceeds  of  $30,000,000.  Each  Unit  offered  through  the  Offerings  was  comprised  of  one  Debenture  and  one  Class  B  share.  The  completion  of  the  Offerings  increased  the  total  assets,  total  liabilities  and  total  equity  of  the  Corporation  significantly.  The  expenses  of  the  Corporation  relating  the  Offerings  were  incurred  during  the  third  quarter  of  2011  and    totalled  $450,000.    

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  the  Corporation  completed  the  acquisition  of  the  Properties  through  the  payment  of  $25,587,651  to  unrelated  parties  for  193  acres,  and  the  issuance  of  120,139  Units  to  WIGI  for  an  equivalent  value  of  $1,138,317,  for  the  remaining  8.6  acres.  Having  successfully  completed  the  Offerings  during  the  third  quarter  of  2011,  the  Corporation’s  expenses  decreased  substantially  during  the  fourth  quarter.  This  was  partially  offset  by  an  increase  to  the  total  servicing  fees  and  management  fees  incurred  during  the  fourth  quarter,  which  were  only  in  effect  for  a  portion  of  the  third  quarter  of  2011.  The  amount  of  the  expenses  of  the  Corporation  in  future  quarters  is  expected  to  be  consistent  with  the  level    of  expenses  incurred  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011.  The  Corporation  is  not  expected  to  generate  a  profit  until  the  sale  of  lots  commences.  Until  this  time,  the  total  equity  of  the  Corporation  is  expected  to  decline  as  cash  is  expended  to  pay  for  the  ongoing  expenses  of  the  Corporation.  

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  the  Corporation  recognized  a  deferred  tax  recovery  of  $205,127.  This  was  in  respect  of  prior  period  tax  losses  which  met  the  recognition  criteria  under  IFRS  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011.

Subsequent Events

On  February  27,  2012,  WEDC  received  rezoning  approval  for  Phase  1  from  Edmonton  City  Council.  

In  March  2012, the  Corporation  entered  into  purchase  and  sale  agreements  for  91  of  the  176  lots.  In  addition,  the  multi-­‐family  site  in  Phase  1  has  been  conditionally  sold.

Supplemental Information

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Corporation  has  two  sources  of  capital  to  finance  its  operations:  

i.) Of  the  gross  proceeds  raised  under  the  IPO  and  Private  Placement,  approximately  9.1%  ($2.7  million)  was  set  aside    by  the  Corporation  to  pay  for  its  ongoing  administrative  and  operating  expenses,  management  fee,  development  fee,  pre-­‐development  costs,  grading  costs,  construction  costs  and  other  expenses  of  the  Corporation.  As  at  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  had  total  cash  on  hand  of  $2,074,371.  

ii.) The  Corporation  has  a  construction  loan  to  help  finance  Phase  1  of  the  project.  The  construction  loan  consists  of  a  $26.9  million  non-­‐revolving  loan  facility  and  $2.3  million  letter(s)  of  credit.  This  loan  is  partially  guaranteed  by  WIGI  and  is  also  secured  by  a  first  priority  security  interest  in  all  present  and  after  acquired  personal  property  of  the  Corporation,  a  floating  charge  over  all  of  the  Corporation's  present  and  after  acquired  real  and  other  property,    and  a  first  fixed  and  specific  demand  collateral  land  mortgage  over  the  Properties.  The  total  amount  drawn  on  the  construction  loan  at  December  31,  2011  was  $nil.  It  is  anticipated  that  further  construction  loans  will  be  required  to  fund  the  costs  of  development  for  Phase  2,  3  and  4  of  the  project.    

Management  regularly  reviews  the  levels  of  its  capital  resources  to  determine  if  sufficient  cash  is  available  to  fund  the  ongoing  costs  of  the  Corporation  over  the  next  twelve  months.  As  at  December  31,  2011,  management  believes  that  sufficient  capital  exists  to  fund  the  Corporation’s  activities  for  at  least  the  next  12  months.  WIGI  monitors,  on  a  monthly  basis,  its  net  worth  to  ensure  compliance  with  its  obligations  as  a  guarantor.  As  at  December  31,  2011,  WIGI  was  in  compliance  with  this  requirement,  and  foresees  no  circumstances  or  conditions  which  may  be  reasonably  likely  to  cause  WIGI  to  be  offside  with  its  obligations  as  guarantor  over  the  next  12  months.

There  were  no  off-­‐balance  sheet  arrangements  as  at  December  31,  2011.  

Financial Instruments

The  Corporation’s  financial  instruments  consist  of  other  receivable,  cash,  debentures  payable,  interest  payable,  trade  payables  and  accrued  liabilities  and  due  to  related  parties.  Other  receivable  and  cash  are  classified  as  loans  and  receivables,  and  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Debentures  payable,  interest  payable,  trade  payables  and  accrued  liabilities,  and  due  to  related  parties  have  been  classified  as  other  financial  liabilities,  and  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  With  the  exception  of  debentures  payable,  the  fair  value  of  these  financial  instruments  approximate  their  carrying  value  due  to  the  short-­‐term  nature  of  these  items.  The  fair  value  of  debentures  payable  approximates  the  carrying  amount  because  the  interest  rate  on  the  debentures  approximates  the  interest  rate  on  debentures  issued  by  comparable  entities.    

It  is  management's  opinion  that  the  Corporation  is  not  exposed  to  significant  liquidity,  credit,  interest  or  currency  risk.

Financial  instruments  

IFRS  9:  Financial  Instruments  (“IFRS  9”)  was  issued  in  November  2009  and  addresses  classification  and  measurement  of    financial  assets.  It  replaces  the  multiple  category  and  measurement  models  in  International  Accounting  Standard  39:  Financial  Instruments  –  Recognition  and  Measurement  (“IAS  39”)  for  debt  instruments  with  a  new  mixed  measurement  model  having  only  two  categories:  amortized  cost  and  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  Requirements  for  financial  liabilities  were  added  to  IFRS  9  in  October  2010  and  they  largely  carried  forward  existing  requirements  in  IAS  39,  except  that  fair  value  changes  due  to  credit  risk  for  liabilities  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  are  generally  recorded  in  other  comprehensive  income.    

IFRS  9  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  January  1,  2015,  with  early  adoption  permitted.  The  Corporation  will  adopt  IFRS  9  for  the  annual  year  beginning  on  January  1,  2015.  The  adoption  of  IFRS  9  will  result  in  a  change  in  the  classification  of  the  Corporation’s  financial  assets  from  amortized  cost  to  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  this  change  is  not  expected  to  result  in  a  material  change  to  the  carrying  amount  of  these  financial  assets.  IFRS  9  is  not  expected  to  result  in  any  changes  to  the  classification  or  carrying  amount  the  Corporation’s  financial  liabilities.

Fair  value  measurement  

IFRS  13:  Fair  Value  Measurement  (“IFRS  13”)  is  a  comprehensive  standard  for  fair  value  measurement  and  disclosure  for  use  across  all  IFRS  standards.  The  new  standard  clarifies  that  fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset,  or  paid    to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market  participants,  at  the  measurement  date.  Under  existing  IFRS,  guidance  on  measuring  and  disclosing  fair  value  is  dispersed  among  the  specific  standards  requiring  fair  value  measurements  and  does  not  always  reflect  a  clear  measurement  basis  or  consistent  disclosures.  

IFRS  13  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  January  1,  2013,  with  early  adoption  permitted.  The  Corporation  will  adopt  IFRS  13  for  the  annual  year  beginning  on  January  1,  2013.  Currently,  all  financial  instruments  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  carried  at  amortized  cost.  The  Corporation  also  discloses  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  in  the  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  The  adoption  of  IFRS  13  is  not  expected  to  result  in  any  changes  to  the  measurement    and  disclosure  of  the  fair  value  its  financial  instruments.

Ethical Business Conduct

Directors  who  have,  or  may  be  reasonably  perceived  to  have,  a  personal  interest  in  a  transaction  or  agreement  being  contemplated  by  the  Corporation  are  required  to  declare  such  interest  at  any  meeting  at  which  the  matter  is  being  considered  and,  where  appropriate,  leave  the  meeting  during  the  discussion  and  abstain  from  voting  on  such  matter.  The  directors  encourage  and  promote  a  culture  of  ethical  business  conduct  by  expecting  each  director,  as  well  as  the  officers  of  the  Corporation,  to  act  in  a  manner  that  exemplifies  ethical  business  conduct.    The  Corporation  has  established  a  Code  of  Business  Conduct  and  Ethics  to  which  all  directors,  officers  and  employees  of  the  Corporation  are  required  to  adhere.  This  code  requires  that  all  such  individuals  conduct  themselves  in  a  professional  and  ethical  manner,  and  that  they  must  not  condone  or  encourage  unethical  conduct.  This  code  also  requires  that  any  individuals  who  are  aware  of  dishonest  activities  or  conduct  to  report  the  conduct  to  the  President  and  CEO.

1. Nature of Business

Walton  Edgemont  Development  Corporation  (the  “Corporation”)  was  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  province  of    Alberta  on  May  5,  2011.    

The  Corporation  was  formed  to  provide  subscribers  with  the  opportunity  to  participate  in  the  development  of  the  approximately  201.5  acre  “Edgemont”  properties  located  in  Edmonton,  Alberta  (the  “Properties”)  through  the  purchase  of  units  in  the  Corporation.  Each  unit  issued  by  the  Corporation  (“Unit”)  through  its  initial  public  offering  (“IPO”)  and  private  placement  offering  (“Private  Placement”)  was  comprised  of  a  $7.50  principal  amount  of  offering  debenture  and  one  class  B  non-­‐voting  common  share  (“Class  B  share”)  at  a  price  of  $2.50  per  share.    

The  Corporation  intends  to  preserve  the  capital  investment  of  the  purchasers  of  Units  in  the  Corporation  and  provide  cash  distributions  on  the  Units  by  executing  the  following  four  step  strategy:    

i.) acquire  the  Properties;  ii.) obtain  contractual  commitments  from  homebuilders  to  purchase  lots  to  be  serviced  in  each  of  the  four  planned  

phases  of  the  development  of  the  Properties  before  construction  commences  on  that  phase;  iii.) construct  municipal  services  infrastructure  on  the  Properties  in  phases  to  provide  a  controlled  supply  of  serviced  

lots  to  the  marketplace;  and  iv.) use  the  revenue  from  the  sale  of  the  serviced  lots  to  repay  construction  loans  and  other  obligations  of  the  

Corporation  and  then  pay  the  remainder  to  the  holders  of  the  offering  debentures  and  Class  B  shares  by  paying    the  interest  and  principal  on  the  offering  debentures  and  by  declaring  a  dividend  or  dividends  on  the  Class  B  shares  and/or  winding  up  the  Corporation  and  distributing  its  assets  to  the  holders  of  the  Class  B  shares.  

Distributions  by  the  Corporation  are  neither  guaranteed  nor  will  they  be  paid  in  a  steady  or  stable  stream.  The  amounts    and  timing  of  any  distributions  will  be  at  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Corporation  and  only  after  the  Corporation  has  paid  or  reserved  funds  for  its  expenses,  liabilities  and  commitments  (other  than  with  respect  to  the  offering  debentures),  including    (i)  the  fees  payable  to  Walton  Asset  Management  L.P.  (“WAM”)  and  Walton  Development  and  Management  L.P.  (“WDM”)  (including  the  performance  fee  –  see  note  9),  and  (ii)  any  amounts  outstanding,  on  a  phase  by  phase  basis,  under  the  construction  loans  required  to  develop  the  Properties.  The  performance  fee  is  only  payable  provided  that  the  investors  of  Units  in  the  Corporation  have  received  cash  payments  or  distributions  equal  to  $10.00  per  Unit,  plus  a  simple  cumulative  priority  return  thereon,  equal  to  8%  per  annum.  

The  registered  office  and  principal  place  of  business  is  23rd  floor,  605  –  5th  Avenue  SW,  Calgary,  Alberta,  T2P  3H5.

These  financial  statements  were  authorized  for  issue  by  the  board  of  directors  on  March  26,  2012.  The  board  of  directors  have  the  power  to  amend  and  reissue  the  financial  statements.

2. Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  full  compliance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (“IFRS”)  and  using  accounting  policies  that  are  consistent  with  IFRS  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“IASB”).  As  this  is  the  first  year  of  operations  of  the  Corporation,  these  financial  statements  have  also  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  IFRS  1:  First-­‐time  Adoption  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards.    

Basis of Presentation

The  Corporation’s  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis,  except  for  certain  financial  instruments  which  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value,  as  explained  in  the  accounting  policies  set  out  in  note  3.  

The  statement  of  financial  position  have  been  prepared  using  a  liquidity  based  presentation  because  the  operating  cycle  of  the  Corporation  revolves  around  the  sale  of  land,  the  timing  of  which  is  uncertain.  As  a  result,  presentation  based  on  liquidity  is  considered  by  management  to  provide  information  that  is  more  reliable  and  relevant  to  the  users  of  the  financial  statements.  With  the  exception  of  land  development  costs  (see  note  4),  land  held  for  development  (see  note  5)  and  debentures  payable  (see  note  6),  all  assets  and  liabilities  are  current  in  nature  and  are  expected  to  be  settled  in  less  than  twelve  months.  

3. Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities  and  equity,  the  disclosure  of  contingencies  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements,  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenue  and  expenses  during  the  period.  The  estimates  and  assumptions  that    have  the  most  significant  effect  on  the  amounts  recognized  in  the  Corporation’s  financial  statements  are  as  follows:  

Recoverability  of  land  held  for  development  and  land  development  costs  

In  assessing  the  recoverability  of  the  land  held  for  development  and  land  development  costs,    management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  regarding  the  sale  price  for  serviced  lots,  the  costs  to  service  the  lots,  the  timing  of  lot  sales,  the  completion  date  for  the  serviced  lots  and  the  Corporation’s  cost  of  capital.  Changes  in  these  estimates  and  assumptions  could  cause  the  amount  of  the  recovery  of  land  held  for  development  and  land  development  costs  to  differ  materially  from  the  carrying  amount  of  those  assets.

Walton Edgemont Development Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 5, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011 (expressed  in  Canadian  dollars)    Deferred  tax  asset  

In  assessing  the  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  to  recognize,  significant  judgment  is  required  in  determining  the  amount  of  deferred  tax  assets  that  can  be  recognized,  based  upon  the  likelihood,  timing  and  level  of  future  taxable  profits.  Changes  in  the  timing  and  level  of  future  taxable  profits  could  cause  the  amount  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  to  be  recovered  to  differ  materially  from  the  carrying  amount.    

Land Development Costs

Land  development  costs  are  allocated  to  the  land  to  which  they  relate.  The  Corporation  capitalizes  all  direct  costs  related    to  land  development.  These  costs  include  borrowing  (financing)  costs  such  as  interest  on  debt  specifically  related  to  the  development  and  property  taxes,  but  exclude  general  and  administrative  overhead  expenses.  At  the  time  sales  are  recognized,  the  Corporation  will  also  capitalize  the  estimated  unexpended  portion  of  costs  relating  to  the  lots  that  are  sold.  Land  development  costs  are  then  relieved  through  cost  of  land  sold  on  a  per  acre  basis.    

Land  development  costs  are  assessed  for  indicators  of  impairment  quarterly.  When  indicators  of  impairment  exist,  the  aggregate  of  the  carrying  value  of  land  development  costs  and  land  held  for  development  is  compared  against  the  net  realizable  value.  Where  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  net  realizable  value,  the  difference  is  recognized  as  an  impairment  loss.  If  the  impairment  to  the  land  development  costs  subsequently  decreases,  the  recovery  is  capitalized  to  land  held  for  development  to  the  extent  of  the  improvement.  

Land Held for Development

Land  held  for  development  has  been  designated  by  management  as  inventory  property  because  it  is  the  intention  of  the  Corporation  to  service  the  Properties,  and  to  construct  municipal  services  infrastructure  on  the  Properties,  for  eventual    sale  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  As  inventory  property,  land  held  for  development  is  carried  at  acquisition  cost,    which  is  based  on  the  price  paid  by  the  Corporation  for  the  Properties  plus  other  direct  purchase  expenses.  Land  held  for  development  is  relieved  through  cost  of  land  sold  on  a  per  acre  basis  as  sales  are  recognized.  

Land  held  for  development  is  assessed  for  indicators  of  impairment  quarterly.  When  indicators  of  impairment  exist,  the  aggregate  of  the  carrying  value  of  land  development  costs  and  land  held  for  development  is  compared  against  the  net  realizable  value.  Where  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  net  realizable  value,  the  difference  is  recognized  as  an  impairment  loss.  If  the  impairment  to  the  land  development  costs  subsequently  decreases,  the  recovery  is  capitalized  to  land  held  for  development  to  the  extent  of  the  improvement.

Land  development  costs  are  assessed  for  indicators  of  impairment  quarterly.  When  indicators  of  impairment  exist,  the  aggregate  of  the  carrying  value  of  land  development  costs  and  land  held  for  development  is  compared  against  the  net  realizable  value.  Where  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  net  realizable  value,  the  difference  is  recognized  as  an  impairment  loss.  If  the  impairment  to  the  land  development  costs  subsequently  decreases,  the  recovery  is  capitalized  to  land  held  for  development  to  the  extent  of  the  improvement.  

Land Held for Development

Land  held  for  development  has  been  designated  by  management  as  inventory  property  because  it  is  the  intention  of  the  Corporation  to  service  the  Properties,  and  to  construct  municipal  services  infrastructure  on  the  Properties,  for  eventual    sale  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  As  inventory  property,  land  held  for  development  is  carried  at  acquisition  cost,    which  is  based  on  the  price  paid  by  the  Corporation  for  the  Properties  plus  other  direct  purchase  expenses.  Land  held  for  development  is  relieved  through  cost  of  land  sold  on  a  per  acre  basis  as  sales  are  recognized.  

Land  held  for  development  is  assessed  for  indicators  of  impairment  quarterly.  When  indicators  of  impairment  exist,  the  aggregate  of  the  carrying  value  of  land  development  costs  and  land  held  for  development  is  compared  against  the  net  realizable  value.  Where  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  net  realizable  value,  the  difference  is  recognized  as  an  impairment  loss.  If  the  impairment  to  the  land  development  costs  subsequently  decreases,  the  recovery  is  capitalized  to  land  held  for  development  to  the  extent  of  the  improvement.

Borrowing Costs

General  and  specific  borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production  of  qualifying  assets,  which  are  assets  that  necessarily  take  a  substantial  period  of  time  to  get  ready  for  their  intended  use  or  sale,  are  added  to    the  cost  of  those  assets,  until  such  time  as  the  assets  are  substantially  ready  for  their  intended  use  or  sale.  The  Corporation  considers  land  development  costs  and  land  held  for  development  to  be  qualifying  assets.      Investment  income  earned  on  the  temporary  investment  of  specific  borrowings  pending  their  expenditure  on  qualifying  assets  is  deducted  from  the  borrowing  costs  eligible  for  capitalization.      

Financial Instruments

Financial  instruments  are  any  contract  that  gives  rise  to  a  financial  asset  of  one  party  and  a  financial  liability  or  equity  instrument  of  another  party.  Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  when  the  company  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the  instrument.  Financial  assets  are  derecognized  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  assets  have  been  transferred  and  the  company  has  transferred  substantially  all  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  Financial  liabilities  are  derecognized  when  the  obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is  discharged.  

Financial  instruments  are  recognized  initially  at  fair  value,  which  is  the  amount  of  consideration  that  would  be  agreed  upon    in  an  arm’s  length  transaction  between  willing  parties.  Subsequent  measurement  depends  on  how  the  financial  instrument  has  been  classified.  Cash  and  other  receivable  are  classified  as  loans  and  receivables,  and  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Debentures  payable,  interest  payable,  trade  payables  and  accrued  liabilities,  and  due  to  related  parties  have  been  classified  as  other  financial  liabilities  and  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.

Debentures Payable

Debentures  payable  are  financial  liabilities  of  the  Corporation  and  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Since  the  debentures  payable  were  initially  recognized  at  a  discount,  the  effective  interest  rate  on  the  debentures  payable  exceeds  the  stated  interest  rate  on  the  debentures.  Interest  is  calculated  on  the  carrying  amount  of    the  debentures  using  the  effective  interest  rate  and  is  allocated  to  interest  payable  based  on  the  stated  interest  rate,    with  the  balance  being  allocated  to  debentures  payable.    

The  debentures  payable  issued  by  the  Corporation  are  extendable  at  the  option  of  the  Corporation  for  a  period  of  two  years.  This  extension  feature  is  a  loan  commitment  under  International  Accounting  Standard  39:  Recognition  and  Measurement  (“IAS  39”),  and  as  a  result,  no  asset  or  liability  has  been  recognized  is  respect  of  this  option.  

Cash

Cash  includes  cash  in  the  Corporation’s  bank  account.

Share Capital

Class  A  voting  common  shares  (“Class  A  shares”)  have  been  classified  as  equity  because  they  represent  residual  assets    of  the  entity  after  the  deduction  of  all  its  liabilities,  and  do  not  provide  the  holder  of  the  shares  with  the  right  to  put  the  shares  back  to  the  Corporation.    

Class  B  shares  issued  by  the  Corporation  have  been  classified  as  equity  because  the  shares  represent  a  residual  interest  in  the  Corporation  after  the  payment  of  all  liabilities  of  the  Corporation,  and  do  not  provide  the  holder  of  the  shares  with  the  right  to  put  the  shares  back  to  the  Corporation.  Costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issuance  of  such  shares  are  recognized  as  a  deduction  from  equity.    

Revenue Recognition

Land  is  sold  by  way  of  an  agreement  of  purchase  and  sale.  Revenue  is  recognized  on  these  sales  once  the  agreement  is  duly  executed  and  delivered,  the  collection  of  sales  proceeds  is  reasonably  assured,  the  purchaser  can  commence  construction,  and  all  other  material  conditions  are  met,  including  a  deposit  of  not  less  than  20%.  

Customer  deposits  received  for  purchases  of  lots  on  which  revenue  recognition  criteria  have  not  been  met  are  recorded    as  deferred  revenue.  

The  Corporation  recognizes  interest  income  on  an  accrual  basis  in  the  period  when  it  is  earned.  

Organizational Costs

Organizational  costs  represent  the  legal,  accounting,  audit,  printing,  filing,  transfer  agent  and  other  costs  incurred  by  the  Corporation  associated  with  the  IPO  and  Private  Placement.  These  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.    

Current and Deferred Income Tax

Income  tax  expense  for  the  period  comprises  current  and  deferred  tax.  Income  tax  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  income  except  to  the  extent  that  it  relates  to  items  recognized  directly  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity,  in  which  case  the  income  tax  is  also  recognized  directly  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  equity,  respectively.  

Current  tax  is  the  expected  tax  payable  on  the  taxable  income  for  the  year,  using  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively  enacted,  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  and  any  adjustment  to  tax  payable  in  respect  of  previous  years.    

Deferred  income  tax  is  recognized  using  the  liability  method,  recognized  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  between  the    tax  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts.  Deferred  income  tax  is  determined  using  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted,  or  substantially  enacted,  by  the  balance  sheet  date  and  are  expected  to  apply  when  the  related  deferred  income  tax  asset  is  realized  or  the  deferred  income  tax  liability  is  settled.  Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognized  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profit  will  be  available  against  which  the  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  can  be  utilized.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive  loss  consists  of  net  loss  and  other  comprehensive  loss  (“OCL”).  OCL  represents  changes  in  shareholders’  equity  during  a  period  arising  from  transactions  and  other  events  with  non-­‐owner  sources,  and  includes  exchange  differences  on  the  translation  of  financial  statements  into  the  presentation  currency,  and  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  effective  portion  of  cash  flow  hedging  instruments.  

The  Corporation  did  not  have  any  OCL  during  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011.

Future Changes in Accounting Policy

Financial  instruments  

IFRS  9:  Financial  Instruments  (“IFRS  9”)  was  issued  in  November  2009  and  addresses  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets.  It  replaces  the  multiple  category  and  measurement  models  in  IAS  39  for  debt  instruments  with  a  new  mixed  measurement  model  having  only  two  categories:  amortized  cost  and  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  Requirements  for  financial  liabilities  were  added  to  IFRS  9  in  October  2010  and  they  largely  carried  forward  existing  requirements  in  IAS  39,  except  that  fair  value  changes  due  to  credit  risk  for  liabilities  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  are  generally  recorded  in  other  comprehensive  income.    

IFRS  9  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  January  1,  2015,  with  early  adoption  permitted.  The  Corporation    will  adopt  IFRS  9  for  the  annual  year  beginning  on  January  1,  2015.  The  adoption  of  IFRS  9  will  result  in  a  change  in  the  classification  of  the  Corporation’s  financial  assets  from  amortized  cost  to  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  this  change  is    not  expected  to  result  in  a  material  change  to  the  carrying  amount  of  these  financial  assets.  IFRS  9  is  not  expected  to  result    in  any  changes  to  the  classification  or  carrying  amount  the  Corporation’s  financial  liabilities.  

Fair  value  measurement  

IFRS  13:  Fair  Value  Measurement  (“IFRS  13”)  is  a  comprehensive  standard  for  fair  value  measurement  and  disclosure  for  use  across  all  IFRS  standards.  The  new  standard  clarifies  that  fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset,  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market  participants,  at  the  measurement  date.  Under  existing  IFRS,  guidance  on  measuring  and  disclosing  fair  value  is  dispersed  among  the  specific  standards  requiring  fair  value  measurements  and  does  not  always  reflect  a  clear  measurement  basis  or  consistent  disclosures.  

IFRS  13  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  after  January  1,  2013,  with  early  adoption  permitted.  The  Corporation  will  adopt  IFRS  13  for  the  annual  year  beginning  on  January  1,  2013.  As  outlined  in  note  3,  all  financial  instruments  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  carried  at  amortized  cost.  The  Corporation  also  discloses  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  in  the  notes  to  the  financial  statements.  The  adoption  of  IFRS  13  is  not  expected  to  result  in  any  changes  to  the  measurement  and  disclosure  of  the  fair  value  its  financial  instruments.

Deferred  income  tax  is  recognized  using  the  liability  method,  recognized  in  respect  of  temporary  differences  between  the    tax  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts.  Deferred  income  tax  is  determined  using  tax  rates  that  have  been  enacted,  or  substantially  enacted,  by  the  balance  sheet  date  and  are  expected  to  apply  when  the  related  deferred  income  tax  asset  is  realized  or  the  deferred  income  tax  liability  is  settled.  Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognized  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profit  will  be  available  against  which  the  temporary  differences  and  unused  tax  losses  can  be  utilized.

Walton Edgemont Development Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 5, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011 (expressed  in  Canadian  dollars)    

7. Financial Instruments

The  Corporation’s  financial  instruments  consist  of  other  receivable,  cash,  debentures  payable,  interest  payable,  trade  payables  and  accrued  liabilities  and  due  to  related  parties.  With  the  exception  of  debentures  payable,  the  fair  value  of    these  financial  instruments  approximate  their  carrying  value  due  to  the  short-­‐term  nature  of  these  items.  The  fair  value    of  debentures  payable  approximates  the  carrying  amount  because  the  interest  rate  on  the  debentures  approximates  the  interest  rate  on  debentures  issued  by  comparable  entities.    

 

a.)  Risk  –  overview    

The  Corporation’s  financial  instruments  and  the  nature  of  the  risks  to  which  they  may  be  subject  are  as  set  out  in    the  following  table.  

Risk Credit Liquidity Interest rate Currency Other  receivable   X Cash     X X Debentures  payable   X X Interest  payable   X Trade  payables  and  accrued    liabilities  

X

Due  to  related  parties   X  

b.) Credit  risk  

Credit  risk  is  the  risk  that  one  party  to  a  financial  instrument  will  cause  a  financial  loss  for  the  other  party  by  failing  to  discharge  an  obligation.  Credit  risk  arises  from  cash  held  with  banks  and  financial  institutions,  and  other  receivable.  While  the  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  equal  to  the  carrying  value  of  these  financial  instruments,  management  believes  the  Corporation’s  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  minimal  for  the  following  reasons:  

Other  receivable  -­‐  The  balance  of  receivables  outstanding  is  typically  not  material  and  is  settled  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  contract.  The  balance  of  other  receivable  as  at  December  31,  2011  was  outstanding  less  than    90  days  and  considered  collectible  by  the  Corporation.  Exposure  to  credit  risk  relating  to  these  receivables  is  not  considered  significant.    

Cash  -­‐  Cash  is  on  deposit  with  a  major  financial  institution,  which  substantially  minimizes  its  exposure  to    credit  risk.

c.) Liquidity  risk  

Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  possibility  that  the  Corporation  will  encounter  difficulties  in  meeting  its  financial  obligations  as  they  become  due.  The  Corporation  manages  its  liquidity  risk  by  continuously  monitoring  the  adequacy  of  its  capital  resources  (see  note  13)  and  by  managing  cash  receipts  and  payments.  The  liabilities  which  expose  the  Corporation  to  liquidity  risk  are  as  follows:    

Trade  payables  and  accrued  liabilities,  and  due  to  related  parties  –  These  liabilities  are  a  result  of  the  normal  operations  of  the  Corporation  and  are  current  in  nature.  Management  considers  exposure  to  liquidity  risk  from  these  financial  instruments  to  be  minimal  because  the  balances  owing  at  December  31,  2011  will  be  funded  by  cash  held  by  the  Corporation.  The  obligations  relating  to  such  future  commitments  will  be  funded  through  a  combination  of  future  revenues  generated  by  the  Corporation,  and  the  capital  resources  available  to  the  Corporation,  as  disclosed  in  note  13.

Debentures  payable  and  interest  payable  –  The  Corporation  manages  the  liquidity  risk  associated  with  the  debentures  payable  by  continuously  monitoring  its  working  capital  to  ensure  it  has  sufficient  capital  to  fund  the  annual  interest  payments  due  on  the  debentures  payable.  Such  capital  is  derived  from  a  combination  of  future  revenues  generated  by  the  Corporation,  and  the  capital  resources  available  to  the  Corporation,  as  disclosed  in  note  13.  The  debentures  have  a  maturity  date  of  December  31,  2016,  however,  the  maturity  date  can  be  extended  to  December  31,  2018  at  the  sole  discretion  of  the  Corporation.  The  Corporation  intends  to  repay    the  debentures  payable  through  future  revenues  generated  by  the  Corporation.

d.) Interest  rate  risk  

Interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  fair  value  or  future  cash  flows  of  financial  instruments  will  fluctuate  because  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates.  The  financial  instruments  of  the  Corporation  which  give  rise  to  interest  rate  risk    are  as  follows:  

Cash   -­‐   Changes   in   market   interest   rates   will   cause   fluctuations   in   the   future   interest   earned   on   cash   balances.    Any  resulting  impact  on  the  Corporation’s  financial  results  would  not  be  considered  material.  

Debentures  payable  –  The  debentures  payable  have  a  fixed  8%  interest  rate  and,  as  a  result,  do  not  expose  the  Corporation  to  any  interest  rate  risk.

e.) Currency  risk  

The  Corporation  does  not  engage  in  foreign  currency  denominated  transactions.  As  a  result,  it  has  no  exposure    to  currency  risk.  

8. Project Debt

The  Corporation  has  a  $29.2  million  construction  loan  to  help  finance  Phase  1  of  the  project.  The  construction  loan    consists  of  a  $26.9  million  revolving  demand  loan,  and  $2.3  million  letter(s)  of  credit.  The  loan  facility  is  available  to  finance  the  construction  costs  for  Phase  1  of  the  project,  while  the  letters  of  credit  act  as  security  for  the  completion  of  certain  obligations  pursuant  to  the  development  agreements  which  will  be  signed  with  the  City  of  Edmonton.  This  letter    of  credit  typically  declines  as  the  Corporation’s  development  obligations  with  the  City  of  Edmonton  are  completed,    through  a  series  of  staged  reductions  over  a  period  of  time  and  are  ultimately  extinguished  when  the  municipality  has    issued  final  acceptance  certificates.    

The  construction  loan  is  due  on  demand  and  bears  interest  at  a  rate  of  prime  +  1.25%,  however,  no  interest  is  payable  on  this  loan  until  the  interest  reserve  set  out  in  the  loan  agreement  is  fully  utilized.  The  lender  reserves  the  right  to  stop  advancing  from  the  interest  reserve  account  if  the  loan  is  not  in  good  standing.  The  construction  loan  is  partially  guaranteed  by  WIGI  and  is  also  secured  by  a  first  priority  security  interest  in  all  present  and  after  acquired  personal  property  of  the  Corporation,    a  floating  charge  over  all  of  the  Corporation's  present  and  after  acquired  real  and  other  property,  and  a  first  fixed  and  specific  demand  collateral  land  mortgage  over  the  Properties.    

9. Related Party Transactions

WAM,  WIGI,  WDM  and  1389211  Alberta  Ltd.  are  all  related  to  the  Corporation  by  virtue  of  common  management.    The  balances  due  to  these  related  parties  as  at  December  31,  2011  are  outlined  in  the  table  below.  With  the  exception  of    the  development  fee  payable  to  WDM  and  the  amounts  payable  to  WAM  for  the  servicing  fee,  these  amounts  are  unsecured,  due  on  demand,  bear  no  interest  and  have  no  fixed  terms  of  repayment.  The  development  fee  payable  to  WDM  is  payable  within  60  days  of  quarter-­‐end.  The  servicing  fee  which  is  paid  to  WAM  for  distribution  to  the  Corporation’s  agents  is  payable  semi-­‐annually.

ii.)   thereafter,  from  July  1,  2016  until  the  termination  date  of  the  Management  Services  Agreement,  an  amount  equal  to  2%  of  the  book  value  of  the  Properties.  

Also  in  accordance  with  the  Management  Services  Agreement,  commencing  on  July  15,  2011  and  continuing  until  the  earlier  of  the  dissolution  of  the  Corporation  and  June  30,  2016,  the  Corporation  will  pay  to  WAM  a  servicing  fee  equal  to  0.50%  annually  of  the  net  proceeds  for  each  Unit  sold  under  the  IPO  and  Private  Placement.  WAM  is  then  responsible  for  paying  the  servicing  fee  to  the  Corporation’s  agents.  The  servicing  fee  is  calculated  from  the  date  of  the  applicable  closing,  calculated  semi-­‐annually  and  paid  as  soon  as  practicable  after  that  date.

Walton Development and Management L.P.

On  June  27,  2011,  the  Corporation  and  WDM  entered  into  a  Project  Management  Agreement.  In  accordance  with  the  terms    of  the  Project  Management  Agreement,  the  fees  and  costs  for  services  provided  by  WDM  are  divided  into  the  following    two  categories:  

i.) WDM  will  receive  a  development  fee,  plus  applicable  taxes,  equal  to  2%  of  certain  development  costs  incurred    in  the  calendar  quarter,  payable  within  60-­‐days  of  the  end  of  such  quarter.  

ii.)

For  the  period  from  May  5,  2011  to  December  31,  2011,  the  total  development  fee  charged  to  the  Corporation  was  $1,075.  This  amount  has  been  capitalized  as  part  of  land  development  costs  

No  performance  fee  was  incurred  by  the  Corporation  during  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011  because  the  $10  per  Unit  amount  and  the  cumulative  priority  return  have  not  been  received  by  the  investors  of  Units  in  the  Corporation.  

As  at  December  31,  2011,  the  balance  owing  to  WDM  was  comprised  of  the  development  fee  and  land  improvement  costs,  which  were  paid  for  by  WDM  on  behalf  of  the  Corporation  but  are  reimbursable  by  the  Corporation.

On  June  27,  2011,  the  Corporation  filed  the  Prospectus  for  the  IPO  of  its  Units.  This  was  followed  by  a  non-­‐brokered  Private  Placement  of  Units  which  was  filed  on  July  18,  2011.  The  IPO  and  the  Private  Placement  were  successfully  completed  on    July  15,  2011  and  December  31,  2011,  respectively,  resulting  in  the  issuance  of  3,000,000  Class  B  shares  for  gross  proceeds    of  $7,500,000  and  the  issuance  of  3,000,000  debentures  for  gross  proceeds  of  $22,500,000.  The  issuance  costs  associated    with  the  share  component  and  debenture  component  were  $404,320  and  $1,212,960,  respectively,  and  were  comprised  of  commissions  paid  to  agents  of  $1,575,000  and  the  work  fees  pertaining  to  the  Private  Placement  of  $42,280.  These  costs  were  allocated  to  the  share  component  and  debenture  component,  based  on  their  proportionate  share  of  the  gross    proceeds  raised.

Basic  net  loss  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  Corporation’s  net  loss  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding.  Class  A  shares  outstanding  have  not  been  included  in  the  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  because  the  Class  A  shares  do  not  participate  in  the  profits  or  losses  of  the  Corporation.  The  weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding  for  the  period  ended  December  31,  2011  was  2,006,269.

As  outlined  in  the  Corporation’s  accounting  policies  (note  3),  deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognized  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profit  will  be  available  against  which  temporary  differences  and  prior  year  tax  losses  can  be  utilized.  The  nature  of  the  Corporation’s  business  is  such  that  until  the  sale  of  lots  commences,  any  revenue  generated  by  the  Corporation  is  not  significant.  Management  feels  that  based  on  the  level  of  commitments  received  for  the  purchase  of  serviced  lots  and  the  anticipated  costs  required  to  complete  the  development  of  those  serviced  lots,  the  Corporation  will  be  able  to  recover  the  tax  losses  from  the  period  May  5,  2011  to  December  31,  2011  before  the  expiry  date  of  the  tax  losses.  The  full  amount  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  is  non-­‐current  because  it  is  not  expected  to  be  recovered  within  twelve  months.

13. Capital Management

The  Corporation  has  two  sources  of  capital  to  finance  its  operations:  

i.) Of  the  gross  proceeds  raised  under  the  IPO  and  Private  Placement,  approximately  9.1%  ($2.7  million)  was  set  aside  by  the  Corporation  to  pay  for  its  ongoing  administrative  and  operating  expenses,  management  fee,  development  fee,  pre-­‐development  costs,  grading  costs,  construction  costs  and  other  expenses  of  the  Corporation.  As  at  December  31,  2011,  the  Corporation  had  total  cash  on  hand  of  $2,074,371.  

ii.) The  Corporation  has  a  construction  loan  to  help  finance  Phase  1  of  the  project.  The  construction  loan  consists  of  a  $26.9  million  non-­‐revolving  loan  facility  and  $2.3  million  letter(s)  of  credit.  This  loan  is  partially  guaranteed  by  WIGI,  which  is  required  to  maintain  a  minimum  level  of  net  worth  stated  in  the  borrowing  agreement.  The  total  amount  drawn  on  the  construction  loan  at  December  31,  2011  was  $nil  (May  5,  2011  -­‐  $nil).  It  is  anticipated  that  further  construction  loans  will  be  required  to  fund  the  costs  of  development  for  Phase  2,  3  and  4  of  the  project.    

Management  regularly  reviews  the  levels  of  its  capital  resources  to  determine  if  sufficient  cash  is  available  to  fund  the  ongoing  costs  of  the  Corporation  over  the  next  twelve  months.  As  at  December  31,  2011,  sufficient  capital  exists  to  fund    the  Corporation’s  activities  for  at  least  the  next  12  months.  WIGI  monitors,  on  a  monthly  basis,  its  net  worth  to  ensure  compliance  with  its  obligations  as  a  guarantor.  As  at  December  31,  2011,  WIGI  was  in  compliance  with  this  requirement,    and  foresees  no  circumstances  or  conditions  which  may  be  reasonably  likely  to  cause  WIGI  to  be  offside  with  its  obligations    as  guarantor  over  the  next  12  months.  

The  Corporation  is  not  subject  to  any  externally  imposed  financial  covenants.
