CALGARY--()--Walton International Group Inc. and Walton Ontario Land L.P. 1 (the “Partnership”) announced today the Partnership’s results for the second quarter ended June 30, 20101.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Partnership was established on October 2, 2009 for the purpose of maximizing returns to its limited partners through the acquisition, management, concept planning and eventual sale of two properties consisting of an aggregate of 455 acres of undeveloped land in southern Ontario (the “Properties”). The land located near the Toronto area in Alliston, Ontario consists of two parcels of land comprised of 155 acres. The land located in the southwest quadrant of the City of Ottawa consists of 300 acres. The Partnership is managed by Walton International Group Inc. (“WIGI”).
It is the current intention of the Partnership to hold its interest in the Properties as an investment and to eventually dispose of its interest prior to the physical development of the Properties. Should the partners of the Partnership determine that the Partnership should participate in the development of the Properties (other than pre-development concept planning), the activities of the Partnership may also include the partial or full development of the Properties prior to the sale of the Properties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
The Partnership's material activities for the second quarter were the completion of the private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) which had commenced in March, and the acquisition of the interest in the Properties.
On June 10, 2010 the Partnership closed the Private Placement. The Private Placement raised an aggregate of $17,244,500, resulting in the issuance of 1,724,450 units, the maximum offering placement. The gross proceeds raised under both the Private Placement and the Partnership’s initial public offering (“IPO”) totaled $35,800,000.
As projected in the Partnership’s IPO Prospectus, on June 15, 2010 the Partnership used $26,885,835 of the net proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement to acquire a 100% interest in the Properties, under a land option agreement dated January 27, 2010 between the Partnership and WIGI. The remaining cash of $6,408,165 was established to pay for ongoing operational, administrative, land management and concept planning expenses (the "Refundable Expense Reserve"). The remaining gross proceeds were used as described in the Prospectus under the maximum offering.
