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.

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.

72011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation • Management’s Discussion & Analysis
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.

92011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation • Management’s Discussion & Analysis
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.

c.) the product of the number of Units issued by the Corporation to WIGI in exchange for its interest in the Properties multiplied by $9.325 which was equal to $1,120,296; and
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 total management fees of $247,007. The management fees incurred during the period were consistent with the costs anticipated by management, as outlined in the Offering Documents.
Servicing Fees and Commissions
Under the terms of the Agency Agreements between the Corporation and the agents contracted to sell Units of the Corporation through the Offerings, the Corporation will pay the agents a commission equal to 5.25% of the gross proceeds raised from the Offerings and a work fee equal to 1% of the gross proceeds raised from the Private Placement. The Corporation will also pay the agents an annual servicing fee equal to 0.5% of the net proceeds raised from the Offerings, until the earlier of the dissolution of the Corporation and June 30, 2016. The commission and servicing fee is payable to WAM, which it will then pay such amounts to the registered dealers on behalf of the Corporation.
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.

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.) 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.

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.

In comparison to the anticipated completion dates included in the Offering Documents, the milestones for Phase 1 are behind the timelines initially anticipated by management and are now anticipated to be completed in the year 2013. These delays are attributable to the longer than anticipated time to obtain subdivision approvals from the City of Edmonton. The most significant delays are in respect of the construction of offsite utilities and offsite roadways, which are expected to have little, if any, impact on the ability of homebuilders to commence the construction of show homes, or their ability to commence the sale of single family or multi-‐family homes. As a result, management expects that the timing of the completion of the overall project will be unchanged and the ability of the Corporation to achieve its investment objectives will be unaffected.

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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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.
Outstanding Shares
As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation had 100 Class A shares outstanding and 3,120,139 Class B shares outstanding.
Outstanding Debentures
As of the date of this MD&A, the Corporation had 3,120,139 debentures payable outstanding with a carrying value of approximately $22.2 million and principal amount of $23.4 million. The Corporation may in its sole discretion, convert all or any principal amount of the debentures payable into a variable number of Class B shares, based on the fair market value per Class B share on the date of the conversion.
Commitments
The following table presents future commitments of the Corporation under the Management Services Agreement and the Agency Agreements over the next five years. It does not include the WDM’s performance fee under the Project Management Agreement, which is calculated based on the amount of distributions paid by the Corporation. These commitments will be funded through future revenues generated by the Corporation and the capital resources available to the Corporation.

The commitment for the management fee will extend for the length of the project, however, after June 30, 2016, it is calculated based on the book value of the Properties at the end of the previous calendar quarter, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
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 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.

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 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.
192011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation • Management’s Discussion & Analysis
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.
Corporate Governance
Board of Directors
The mandate of the board of directors is to oversee the management of the business of the Corporation, with a view to maximizing the Corporation’s shareholder value, and ensuring corporate conduct in an ethical and legal manner via an appropriate system of corporate governance and internal control processes and procedures.

• The adoption by the board of directors of a written mandate requiring that a majority of the members of the board of directors be independent of management; and

Compensation
The Corporation has agreed to pay to each of the directors who are “independent” within the meaning of NI 52-‐110, an annual retainer of $25,000 per year, paid quarterly in advance. This amount was determined by the Corporation and the directors prior to the retention of the directors. The executive officers of the Corporation do not receive any compensation from the Corporation.
Orientation and Continuing Education
New directors will attend a briefing with existing directors on all aspects of the nature and operation of the Corporation’s business from the existing directors and the senior management of the Corporation. Directors will be afforded the opportunity to attend and participate in seminars and continuing education programs and are encouraged to identify their continuing education needs through a variety of means, including discussions with senior management of the Corporation and at meetings of the directors. Outside experts may be retained, as appropriate, to provide directors with ongoing education on specific subject matters.
Nomination of Directors
The original members of the board of directors were appointed by the Class A shareholder of the Corporation.

The new director may be appointed by the remaining directors or by the Class A shareholder of Corporation.
Assessments

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.

Walton Edgemont Development Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 5, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars)
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.
312011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation • Notes to Financial Statements
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.

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.

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.

The timing of sales are uncertain because it is dictated by the timing of cash receipts by the Corporation, which is influenced by factors that are beyond the control of management, such as market demand and the cash flows of our customers. As a result, while a portion of land development costs could be current in nature, it is not possible for management to reasonably estimate the portion that will be realized within the next twelve months.
5. Land Held for Development
Land held for development consists of the Corporation’s 100% interest in the Properties which were acquired during the fourth quarter of 2011. On October 12, 2011, the Corporation acquired 117.93 acres of the Properties (“Parcel C”). In consideration for Parcel C, the Corporation paid $14,987,226 to unrelated parties for 113.05 acres, and issued 68,079 Units to Walton International Group Inc. (“WIGI”) for an equivalent value of $645,049 for the remaining 4.88 acres. The remaining 83.6 acres of the Property (“Parcels A and B”) were acquired on November 30, 2011 through the payment of $10,600,434 to unrelated parties for 79.96 acres, and the issuance of 52,060 Units to WIGI for an equivalent value of $493,268 for the remaining 3.73 acres.

During the year, the Corporation issued 2,577,200 debentures as part of its IPO, 422,800 debentures as part of its Private Placement, 68,079 debentures in exchange for WIGI’s ownership interest in Parcel C, and 52,060 debentures in exchange for WIGI’s ownership interest in parcels A and B. The debentures are unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 8%. Interest on the debentures is calculated based on the face value of the debentures on June 30, and is payable annually on September 30. The debentures mature on December 31, 2016 at a face value of $7.50, although the maturity date can be extended by the Corporation at its sole discretion until December 31, 2018. The Corporation may also, in its sole discretion, (i) repay all or any portion of the principal amount of, or interest under, the debentures payable through the issuance of Class B shares, (ii) evidence its obligation to pay all or any portion of the interest under the debentures through the issuance of Interest debentures, and/or (iii) convert all or any principal amount of the offering debentures into Class B shares.

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.

On June 27, 2011, the Corporation and WAM entered into a Management Services Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Management Services Agreement, WAM will provide management and administrative services to the Corporation in return for an annual management fee equal to:
i.) from July 15, 2011 until the earlier of the date of termination of the Management Services Agreement and June 30, 2016, 2% of the aggregate of:
a.) The net proceeds raised from the IPO of $24,032,390, calculated as the gross proceeds raise of $25,772,000, net of selling commissions $1,353,030 and organizational costs of $386,580; b.) The net proceeds raised from the Private Placement of $3,900,330, calculated as the gross proceeds raised of $4,228,000, net of selling commissions $221,970, work fees of $42,280, and organizational costs of $63,420; and; c.) the product of the number of Units issued by the Corporation to WIGI in exchange for its interest in the Property multiplied by $9.325 which was equal to $1,120,296; and
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.
During the period from May 5, 2011 to December 31, 2011, the Corporation incurred total management fees of $247,007. During the period from May 5, 2011 to December 31, 2011, the Corporation incurred total servicing fees of $60,552.
The balance payable to WAM as at December 31, 2011 was a result of the transactions disclosed above.
Walton International Group Inc. On September 30, 2011, WIGI acquired 37,440 Units of the Corporation for total consideration of $374,400 through the Private Placement.
On October 12, 2011 WIGI acquired 68,079 Units in exchange for its ownership interest in Parcel C. On November 30, 2011, WIGI acquired an additional 52,060 Units in exchange for its ownership interest in Parcel A and B. In accordance with the terms of the Walton Contribution Agreement between WIGI and the Corporation, the Units issued to WIGI were issued at a price of $9.475 per Unit, being the $10/Unit issue price paid by the Corporation’s unitholders, less the $0.525 in selling commissions which neither WIGI nor the Corporation was obliged to pay as part of the land for Unit exchange.
As a result of the transactions noted above, WIGI owns approximately 5.1% of the outstanding Units of the Corporation.
As at December 31, 2011, the Corporation owed WIGI $267,477. This was comprised of land development costs and other costs of the Corporation which were initially funded by WIGI on behalf of the Corporation but are reimbursable by the Corporation.

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 an cash payments or other distributions equal to $10.00 per Unit, plus an 8% priority return. The priority return is calculated on that $10.00 amount, 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, 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.
1389211 Alberta Ltd. On May 5, 2011, the Corporation issued to 1389211 Alberta Ltd. 100 Class A shares for total consideration of $100.

All Class A shares of the Corporation are held by 1389211 Alberta Ltd., which is a related party of the Corporation by virtue of common management.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
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.
Per Share Amount
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.
432011 Annual Report • Walton Edgemont Development Corporation • Notes to Financial Statements
Walton Edgemont Development Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 5, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) As the Corporation has the right to convert any portion of the debentures payable into Class B shares, this conversion feature could result in potentially dilutive shares in the determination of the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. For the period ended December 31, 2011, the potentially dilutive shares were nil because the Corporation generated a net loss during the period.
Share Issuance Price
The Class A shares issued and outstanding of the Corporation were issued at a price of $1/share.
The Class B shares issued and outstanding of the Corporation were issued at a price of $2.50/share.
11. Income Taxes

Walton Edgemont Development Corporation Notes to the Financial Statements FOR THE PERIOD FROM MAY 5, 2011 TO DECEMBER 31, 2011 (expressed in Canadian dollars) The tax recovery on the Corporation’s net loss before tax differs from the amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to losses as follows:
For the period from May 5, 2011 to
December 31, 2011 $
Net loss before tax (767,116)
Applicable tax rate 25%
Expected deferred tax recovery (191,779)
Tax effects of:
Non-‐deductible expenses 112,500
Unit issuance costs and organizational costs (28,204)
Origination and reversal of timing differences (97,644)
Income tax recovery (205,127)
Deferred income tax assets are a result of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their carrying amount for income tax purposes, as well as the recognition of tax losses for the period from May 5, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The deferred income tax recovery recognized by the Corporation during the period and its impact on the deferred income tax asset is as follows:
$
DEFERRED TAX ASSET – MAY 5, 2011 -‐
Change due to origination and reversal of temporary differences 97,644
Recognition of tax losses from current year 107,483
205,127
DEFERRED TAX ASSET – DECEMBER 31, 2011 205,127
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.

12. Commitments
The following table presents future commitments of the Corporation under the Management Services and Agreement (note 9) over the next five years. It does not include the performance fee payable to WAM under the Management Services Agreement, which is determined at the time land sales are completed.
Servicing fee Management fee Total $ $ $
2012 139,664 581,060 720,724 2013 139,664 581,060 720,724 2014 139,664 581,060 720,724 2015 139,664 581,060 720,724 2016 69,832 290,530 360,362
628,488 2,614,770 3,243,258
The commitment for the management fee will extend for the length of the project, however, after June 30, 2016, it is calculated based on the book value of the Properties at the end of the previous calendar quarter, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
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.
