Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Walton Edgemont Development Corporation
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Walton Edgemont Development Corporation, which
comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the
statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and
the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management's responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Walton
Edgemont Development Corporation as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and its financial
performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards.

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 investors 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 (“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 investors 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 (“Debentures”) and Class
B shares by paying the interest and principal on 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 amount
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 Walton Development and Management (Alberta)
LP (“WDM”) (including the performance fee – note 13), 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 if the investors
of Units in the Corporation have received cash payments or distributions equal to $10.00 per Unit, plus a cumulative
compounded 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 by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2014.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
These financial statements, including comparatives, 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”).
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 4.
The statements 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 inventory (note 5), recoverable costs receivable
(note 6), deferred tax asset (note 15), debentures payable (note 8) and interest debentures payable (note 8), all
assets and liabilities are current in nature and are expected to be settled in less than twelve months.
Change in Presentation
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation recognized revenue from lot sales. This revenue differs
significantly from the type of revenues previously generated by the Corporation, which consisted of interest income
and other incidental income. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation has reported all interest income
and other incidental income as part of other income/ (expenses). Interest income and other incidental income
recognized by the Corporation during the comparative prior period has also been reclassified to other
income/(expenses) for consistency with the presentation for the current year.
The Statement of Financial Position for December 31, 2012 was changed to combine land held for development and
land developments costs as a single item referred to as land development inventory to be consistent with the current
year presentation.
In the Statements of Cash Flows, the treatment of interest income/receivable and interest paid/payable has been changed to be consistent with the current year presentation.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD BALANCES
For the year ended December 31, 2013 the Corporation has changed its accounting policy for the development
agreement with the City of Edmonton, revised the presentation of offering costs and adjusted the timing of receipt of
recovery. Prior period has been amended for the changes which are described in further detail below.
Change in accounting policy for development agreement
Previously, land development costs and recoverable costs from the City of Edmonton (note 5 and note 6) and a
corresponding provision for land development costs were recognized upon approval of a development servicing
agreement with the municipality. These costs and the associated provision were recognized within the statement of
financial position at the amount estimated to be incurred to develop their land inventory under the development
agreement with the City of Edmonton and costs that would be recoverable from the City of Edmonton. Management
re-evaluated its accounting policy after determining that a reclassification on the balance sheet for recoverable costs
would be required.
The Corporation has changed its policy to only recognize those costs associated with activities that have been
incurred to date with respect to the development of its land development inventory. A provision for land development
costs is recognized in conjunction with land sales as part of the cost to complete.
The Corporation believes that this change in accounting policy provides reliable and more relevant information as it
aligns the carrying value underlying the land development inventory with the progress the Corporation has made with
respect to the underlying development of the land and promotes comparability across the industry.
Those costs that are recoverable from the City of Edmonton are recognized to recoverable costs receivable as they
have been incurred. For those recoverable costs received in advance of incurring costs, these amounts will be
deferred and offset against associated costs as incurred. There was no impact on net loss, net loss per share, cash
flows and equity of the Corporation as a result of this change.
Revision of presentation of offering costs
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation has revised the prior period balance for offering costs which
were previously charged to profit and loss. The Corporation has determined that these costs are directly related to the
issuance of share capital and debentures and therefore should be included as offering costs. As at January 1, 2012,
$450,000 of the accumulated deficit has been reclassified with $112,500 being recorded as a reduction to share
capital and $337,500 recorded as a reduction to debentures payable. This resulted in an increase in accretion on
the debentures at January 1, 2012 of $26,225 which was capitalized to land development inventory.
The deferred tax impact relating to the offering costs results in the deferred tax asset increasing by $3,357, share
capital by $129,205 with accumulated deficit being increased by $125,848.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

As at December 31, 2012, the revision has resulted in an adjustment to the accretion on the debentures and land
development inventory of $88,480. The deferred tax impact resulted in deferred tax asset and recovery decreasing by
$87,732.
Revision of prior period receivable for timing of receipt of recovery
During the period it was noted that a deposit was made for a recovery in the current year that should have been
recorded in the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, $550,998 was recorded as accounts receivable as
amounts in transit at December 31, 2012 increasing the deferred recoverable cost by $435,575 and land
development inventory by $115,422.
The change in presentation (note 2) and these revisions have resulted in the following changes to the financial
statements as at December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012:

4. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates and Judgements
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 at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. 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 development inventory - In assessing the recoverability of the land development
inventory, 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 net recoverable
value of land development inventory to differ materially from the carrying amount.
WALTON EDGEMONT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
6
Deferred tax asset - In assessing the amount of the deferred tax asset to recognize, significant judgment is
required in determining 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 asset recovered to differ materially
from the carrying amount.
Capitalization of Borrowing Costs – The Corporation capitalizes borrowing costs to qualifying assets by
determining if borrowings are general or specific to the Properties, the Edgemont development project
(“Project”) will be active throughout the period of capitalisation and will take a substantial period of time to
prepare the Properties for its intended use or sale. The Corporation considers a substantial period of time to
be a period that is greater than one year.
Provision for land development costs - In estimating the amount of the provision to be recognized for land
development costs, significant judgment is required in estimating the the costs required to complete the
development of lots for which revenue has been recognized. These estimates are based on internal cost
budgets prepared for each phase of development, which are reviewed regularly to determine what
adjustments are needed to the provision for land development costs. The provision for land development
costs includes, but is not limited to, construction costs, consulting costs, project management fees and
financing costs. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could cause the total costs required to satisfy
the obligations to differ materially from the amount of this provision.
Cost of sales - In determining the amount of cost of sales to recognize in respect of completed lot sales,
significant judgement is required in estimating each lot’s proportionate share of land development
inventory, as well any remaining costs to complete the development of the lots sold. Changes in these
estimates and assumptions could cause the actual cost of each lot sold to differ from the cost of sales
recognized at the time that revenue was recognized.
Revenue Recognition – In assessing when to recognize revenue, significant judgment is required in
estimating when the purchaser can commence construction and when collection of sales proceeds are
reasonably assured. Changes in the market and the economy or the credit worthiness of the purchaser
may impact the amount of the deposit required prior to recognizing revenues, which would impact the
timing of revenue recognition.
Land Development Inventory
Land development inventory consists of land held for development and land development costs. Land development
inventory is acquired or constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business and is held as inventory and
measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The land is recorded at the acquisition cost, which is based
on the price paid by the Corporation for the Property. All direct costs related to land development are capitalized to
land development inventory. These costs include, but are not limited to, construction costs, consultant costs, project
management fees, property taxes and borrowing (financing) costs such as interest on debt specifically related to
WALTON EDGEMONT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
7
the land development inventory, but exclude general and administrative overhead expenses. Land development
inventory are then relieved through cost of sales proportionately, based on the discounted sale price of each lot.
Where the carrying amount exceeds the net realizable value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. If
in a future period, the net realizable value of the land development inventory increases the impairment is reversed
up to the original cost of the inventory.
Recoverable costs receivable and deferred recoverable costs
Recoverable costs receivable are costs incurred in excess of recoveries received associated with the development agreement with the City of Edmonton. Deferred recoverable costs represent recoveries received in advance of funds being incurred. Deferred recoverable costs are reduced as associated costs are incurred.
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 inventory to be a qualifying asset.
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.
Borrowing costs on debt not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are
expensed.
Transaction Costs
Issuance costs of project debt obligations are capitalized against the associated debt and amortized using the effective interest rate method.
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 Corporation 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 Corporation 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 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.

At each reporting period, the Corporation will assess whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset,
other than those classified as fair value through profit or loss, is impaired. Impairment, if any, is recorded in net
income.
The following table lists the Corporation’s financial instruments and the method of measurement subsequent to initial recognition: Financial Instrument Category Measurement Method

Due to related parties Other financial liabilities Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Other financial liabilities Amortized cost
Debentures Payable
Debentures payable consist of the Corporation’s convertible debentures. As the debentures are convertible at the
sole discretion of the Corporation by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures and/or the amount of the
accrued and unpaid interest by the current fair value per Class B shares at the time of conversion, the full amount of
the debentures are recorded as a financial liability and are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently carried at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
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 considered a loan commitment under International Accounting Standard 39:
Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”), and as a result, no embedded derivative has been recognized is respect
of this extension feature.
Cash
Cash consists of amounts in demand deposits at financial institutions.
Provision for Land Development Costs The provision for land development costs is comprised of the estimated costs to complete the development of lots for which revenue has been recognized. These amounts have not been discounted as the majority of the costs are expected to be utilized within one year.

Share Capital
Class A voting common shares (“Class A shares”) have been classified as equity because they represent residual
assets of the Corporation 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 non-voting common shares (”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 its liabilities, 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, net of tax.
Accumulated Deficit
Accumulated deficit comprises the accumulated balance of income less losses arising from the operation of the
Corporation, after taking into account dividends declared by the Corporation.
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.
Cost of Sales
At the time that revenue recognition criteria are met, the Corporation recognizes cost of sales for the lots sold by
allocating to each lot its proportionate share of land development inventory using the net yield method. Under the net
yield method, land development inventory is allocated to each lot sold based on the discounted sales price of the lot
over the estimated total discounted lot sales that will benefit from the land development inventory. This results in
phase specific costs being allocated proportionately based on the net yield of each lot in that phase, general costs
being allocated proportionately based on the net yield of each lot that will benefit from the general costs, and land
held for development being allocated proportionately based on the aggregate net yield of each lot of the Project.
Included in the cost of sales recognized is a provision for land development costs for costs to complete the
development of lots for which revenue is recognized.

Current and Deferred Income Tax
Income tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive 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 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.
The deferred income tax method is used to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for the deferred income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying values and their respective income tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using
tax rates that have been enacted, or substantively enacted, by the date of the financial statements and are expected
to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. The
effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in income in the period that
includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent they are more likely than not of
being realized.
Current Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those which were
disclosed in the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, except as
explained below and as disclosed in note 3.
Fair value measurement
The Corporation adopted IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) for the annual year beginning on January 1,
2013. 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 upon the sale of an asset, or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. The
standard also requires an increase in the disclosure around valuation methods and inputs used in measuring fair
value in the notes to the financial statements. The Corporation does not carry any assets, liabilities or equity at fair
value. The adoption of IFRS 13 has resulted in increased disclosure around fair value contained in note 16 of these
financial statements.
Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities
International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 32 Financial Instruments - Presentation (“IAS 32”) was issued with
amendments in December 2011. The amendments clarify certain aspects of the existing guidance on offsetting
WALTON EDGEMONT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
11
financial assets and financial liabilities. The IASB also amended IFRS 7 Financial Instruments - Disclosure (“IFRS 7”)
to require information about all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32. The
amendments also require disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments subject to enforceable
master netting arrangements and similar agreements even if they are not set off under IAS 32.
The amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. However, the new
offsetting disclosure requirements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim
periods within those annual periods. The Corporation has adopted the offsetting disclosure requirements for the
period beginning January 1, 2013. The Corporation has assessed that there is no impact of the adoption on the
financial statements currently or retrospectively.
Future Changes in Accounting Policies
Financial instruments
In November 2009, as part of the IASB project to replace International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the IASB issued the first phase of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. It
contained requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, and was updated in October
2010 to incorporate financial liabilities. In November 2013, the IASB issued amendments to include the new general
hedge accounting model and to postpone the mandatory effective date of this standard indefinitely. The full impact
of this standard will not be known until the amendments addressing impairments, classification and measurement
have been completed. When these projects are completed, an effective date will be added by the IASB.
Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
IAS 32 Financial Instruments - Presentation (“IAS 32”) was issued with amendments in December 2011. The
amendments clarify certain aspects of the existing guidance on offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. The
amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Corporation has
assessed that there will be no impact of the adoption on the financial statements currently or retrospectively.
Levies
International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”) 21 – Levies (“IFRIC 21”)is an interpretation of
IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”). IAS 37 sets out criteria for the
recognition of a liability to pay a levy imposed by government, other than an income tax. The interpretation requires
the recognition of a liability when the event, identified by the legislation as triggering the obligation to pay the levy,
occurs. This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The
Corporation has not yet determined the impact of IFRIC 21 on its financial statements.

Land development inventory is relieved through cost of sales at the time that revenue from lot sales is recognized.
The timing of future lot sales is estimated by management, however, is subject to uncertainty because lot sales are
influenced by factors that are beyond the control of management, such as market demand for residential lots and the
timing of cash flows of the homebuilders. As a result, while a portion of land development inventory 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. During the year, $2,133,198 (December 31, 2012 - $ 2,099,890) of interest was capitalized to
development costs.

Recoverable costs receivable are received from the City of Edmonton. These are in relation to the construction of
infrastructure required as part of the development agreement with the City of Edmonton. The City of Edmonton will
reimburse the Corporation for the proportionate share related to future developers. Future reimbursement will only be
made as other developers sign their respective development agreements with the City of Edmonton. There is no
guarantee as to the expected timing of when other developers may enter into their respective development
agreements. Upon completion and acceptance by the City of Edmonton of the infrastructure, the recoverable costs
are subject to receive interest at the lower of a rate equal to the prime rate +1% or the Construction Price Index
Variation, which is defined as the percentage change in the Edmonton Non-Residential Construction Price Index
published by Statistics Canada. As these rates are representative of a risk-free interest rate, the recoverable costs
are not discounted as the carrying value approximates the fair value at initial recognition.
7. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
At December 31, 2013, the accounts receivable is comprised of amounts owing from builders for the sale of Phase 1
lots. At December 31, 2013 there were no amounts past due. For all lot sales, the ownership of the lot is not
transferred to the purchaser until the full purchase price has been received.
At December 31, 2012, the accounts receivable represents a recovery received but not deposited by year-end.
8. DEBENTURES PAYABLE AND INTEREST DEBENTURES PAYABLE
Debentures payable are comprised of the Debentures which were issued by the Corporation as part of its IPO,
Private Placement and in exchange for Walton International Group Inc.’s (“WIGI”) ownership interest in the
Properties. The total number of Debentures outstanding as at December 31, 2013 was 3,120,140 (December 31,
2012 – 3,120,140).
Interest debentures are comprised of the debentures that were issued by the Corporation on September 30, 2013 to
settle the 2013 interest payment on the Debentures. The interest debentures have a face value of $1,869,491.

The Debentures and Interest Debentures are unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest on the
Debentures and Interest Debentures is calculated annually based on the face value of the Debentures and Interest
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, however, the maturity date can be extended by the Corporation at its sole discretion until
December 31, 2018. The Interest Debentures mature on December 31, 2016 at their principal amount.
The Corporation may also, in its sole discretion, (i) repay all or any portion of the principal amount of, or interest under, the Debentures or Interest Debentures through the issuance of Class B shares, (ii) evidence its obligation to pay all or any portion of the interest under the Debentures or interest under the Interest Debentures through the issuance of interest debentures, and/or (iii) convert all or any principal amount of the Debentures or Interest Debentures into Class B Shares. The Debentures and Interest Debentures may be converted into the number of shares obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures and Interest Debentures by the current fair value of Class B shares.

As at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, WIGI owned approximately 5.1% of the outstanding Units of the
Corporation. As a result, approximately 5.1% of the balance of debentures payable and interest debentures payable
was payable to WIGI.
9. PROJECT DEBT
The Corporation has a construction loan with a Canadian-based financial services company to help finance Phase
1 of the Project (“Phase 1 Construction Loan”). The Phase 1 Construction Loan consists of a $26.9 million non-
revolving loan facility and an $8.9 million letter of credit facility. Included in the non-revolving loan facility is an
interest reserve of $1.75 million. The total advances under the construction loan, including the authorized letters of
credit, are not to exceed $31.5 million at any given time.
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 development obligations under the development servicing agreement for
Phase 1 of the Project (“Phase 1 Development Servicing Agreement”). The letters of credit typically decline as the
Corporation’s development obligations 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, with a maturity date of February 26, 2016 and bears interest at a rate of prime + 1.25%, interest is
paid monthly through the use of an interest reserve. At December 31, 2013 the interest reserve utilized was
$600,000. 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. The total guarantee by WIGI at December 31, 2013 is $7,475,255.
WIGI entered into a guarantee with the lender of the Phase 1 Construction Loan that guarantees the amount of
$7,475,255. WIGI also provided a guarantee that the Corporation will complete the development of the Project and
fund all cost overruns. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the total advance on project debt was $8,908,874
(December 31, 2012 - $3,482,834) offset by total project debt repayments of $8,258,327 (December 31, 2012 – nil).
As at December 31, 2013, an $8.9 million letter of credit had been issued but has not been drawn upon. The total
balance outstanding on the construction loan as at December 31, 2013 was $4,133,381 (December 31, 2012 -
$3,482,834). The Corporation is not subject to any externally imposed covenants as at December 31, 2013.

In accordance with the terms of the Management Services Agreement between the Corporation and WAM, 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 offering 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 offering costs of

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 $1,120,306; and
ii) thereafter, from July 1, 2016 until the termination date of the Management Services Agreement, an amount
equal to 0.5% 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 in accordance with the Agency Agreements
between WAM, WDM and the Corporation. 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 year ended December 31, 2013,
the total servicing fees charged to the Corporation was $139,664 (December 31, 2012 - $139,664).

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the total management fees charged to the Corporation was $581,060
(December 31, 2012 - $581,060). There were no amounts paid to WAM during the year (December 31, 2012 -
$547,422).
The balance payable to WAM as at December 31, 2013 was in respect of the management fees and servicing fees.
Notwithstanding the payment terms for such fees, due to cash constraints of the Corporation, management has
communicated to WAM that it does not expect to make payments for the management fees and servicing fees until
such time that the Corporation has sufficient capital for the payment of such amounts. WAM has indicated that it will
continue to provide its services as manager of the Corporation and to fund the servicing fee on behalf of the
Corporation. All amounts that exceed the regular payment terms are due on demand and bear no interest.
Walton Development and Management (Alberta) LP
In accordance with the terms of the Project Management Agreement between the Corporation and WDM, 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; and
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 $10.00 per
Unit, plus a cumulative compounded priority return of 8% per annum. The priority return is calculated on
that $10 amount per Unit, reduced by any cash payments or distributions by the Corporation.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the total development fee charged to the Corporation was
$213,442(December 31, 2012 - $129,251), total development fees paid by the Corporation was $259,827 (December
31, 2012 - $25,503). The developments fees are capitalized to land development inventory as incurred.
No performance fee was incurred by the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2013 or the comparative
prior periods because the $10 per Unit amount and the cumulative priority return have not been received by the
investors of Units in the Corporation.
The balance due to WDM as at December 31, 2013 was comprised of unpaid development fees.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation incurred a total amount payable to WDM of $20,545(December 31, 2012 - $15,076) for day to day expenses that were initially funded by WDM on the Corporation’s behalf. The total amount paid to WDM for amounts that were incurred on behalf of the Corporation’s during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $15,566 (December 31, 2012 - 14,403).

All Class A shares of the Corporation are held by 1389211 Alberta Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of WIGI. WIGI is a
wholly owned subsidiary of WGIL. All or substantially all of the shares of WIGI are owned indirectly by members of the
Doherty family, including William K. Doherty, the Chief Executive Officer and director of WGIL.
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. The 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 year ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31,
2012 was 3,120,140.
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 year ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, the potentially dilutive
shares were nil because the Corporation generated net losses during those years.

As outlined in the Corporation’s accounting policies, 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 believes 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 all previously incurred tax losses prior to the expiry date of those
tax losses. Management cannot however, reasonably estimate the portion of the deferred tax asset that will be settled
in the next twelve months because this will be impacted by the amount of net income generated by the Corporation
during that time.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation’s financial instruments consist of recoverable costs receivable, accounts receivable, funds held in
trust, other receivable, cash, debentures payable, interest debentures payable, project debt, interest payable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties.
With the exception of recoverable costs receivable, project debt, debentures payable and interest 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 the recoverable costs receivable approximates its carrying value as the interest
accruing with the City of Edmonton for amounts owing and inflation offset the impact of discounting. The fair value of
project debt approximates its carrying value because the debt is due on demand and the interest rate on the debt is
variable based on the prime lending rate.
The fair value of debentures payable and interest debentures payable is determined using the income approach, primarily making use of level 3 (unobservable) inputs. Using the income approach, the expected future cash commitments arising from these financial liabilities are discounted by the Corporation’s market rate. As at December 31, 2013, the fair value of debentures payable and interest debentures payable approximated the carrying amount because there have not been significant changes in the Corporation’s risk premium or to market interest rates, since the issuance of these financial liabilities.

i) 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 accounts receivables, funds held in trust, other
receivables and cash held with banks. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of
these financial instruments.
Accounts receivable – The balance of accounts receivable are due from large, reputable homebuilders who
have demonstrated to management their ability to meet the payment terms included in the purchase and sale
agreements. In addition, the balance of the receivable is secured by a 20% deposit on the sale price of each
lot sold, and the Corporation retains title on the lots until such time that 100% of the sale proceeds has been
received. The Corporation is exposed to concentration risk as all revenue is attributable to four homebuilders
all having a concentration of greater than 10% of revenue. At December 31, 2013, the concentration of
revenue from the four homebuilders was 23%, 25%, 27% and 25%, respectively. The concentration of
accounts receivable was 10%, 25%, 27% and 27%, respectively. There were no additional customers.
Recoverable costs receivable– The recoverable costs receivable are received from future developers
via the City of Edmonton. Future developers are required to pay their proportionate share of off-site
costs at the time that they sign their development agreement with the City of Edmonton. The
Corporation has a contractual right with the City of Edmonton whereby the City will not permit other

Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
28
developers to develop within the adjacent lands, without the collection of these amounts. Therefore,
management believes the exposure to credit risk is minimal.
Funds held in trust – Funds held in trust are held by trustees in the name of the Corporation and
homebuilders. The trustees are considered by management to be credible, which minimizes the
Corporation’s exposure to credit risk. These funds will be released to the Corporation once the
Corporation completes its responsibilities for the release of such funds under the terms of the purchase
and sale agreements.
Other receivable - The Corporation’s exposure to credit risk associated with other receivable is not
material because the balance of other receivable is typically not material and is settled monthly.
Cash - Cash is on deposit with a major financial institution, which substantially minimizes its exposure to
credit risk.
ii) 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
progress of the development, ensuring timely collection of lot sales, and managing cash receipts and
payments. The liabilities which expose the Corporation to liquidity risk are as follows:
Debentures payable, interest debentures payable and interest payable –Management has the ability to
settle the interest on the Debentures payable or Interest Debentures payable through the issuance of
interest debentures. 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 and Interest Debentures payable through future lot sale
revenues generated by the Corporation.
Project debt – Project debt is comprised of a construction loan with a Canadian financial institution for
Phase 1 of the Project. The construction loan consists of a $26.9 million non-revolving loan facility and
an $8.9 million letter of credit facility. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the total advances under
the construction loan, including the authorized letters of credit, are not to exceed $31.5 million at any
given time. The loan is secured by all assets of the Corporation, and is also partially guaranteed by
WIGI. There is no assurance that WIGI will provide future guarantees to secure the Corporation’s future
financing requirements or be able to maintain loan covenants, if applicable. In order to minimize the
Corporation’s exposure to liquidity risk as a result of the project debt, management ensures that all
conditions and requirements under the loan agreement are adhered to, and that the collateral secured by
the bank exceeds the balance of project debt outstanding. The Corporation intends to repay the project
debt through future lot sale revenues generated by the Corporation. 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.
WALTON EDGEMONT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
29
As at December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of the loan facility was $4,133,381 (December 31,
2012 - $3,482,834), and an $8.9 million (December 31, 2012 - $8.9 million) letter of credit had been
issued to the City of Edmonton, but had not been drawn upon.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities – 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, 2013 will be funded by a
combination of cash held by the Corporation, and the construction loan. As at December 31, 2013 the
Corporation has total cash on hand of $266,679 (December 31, 2012 - $244,122) and the amount
available on the loan facility was $14,539,691 (December 31, 2012 - $23,448,566) as noted above.
Due to related parties - These liabilities are a result of the normal operations of the Corporation and are
payable in accordance with the terms of the related party agreements. Management considers exposure
to liquidity risk from these financial instruments to be low because balances owing at December 31, 2013
will be funded through proceeds from the sale of lots, recoverable costs and construction loans. There is
no assurance that the related parties will provide future funding.
The future undiscounted obligations of the Corporation as at December 31, 2013 are as follows:

iii) 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:
WALTON EDGEMONT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
Notes to the Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
30
Cash and recoverable costs receivable - Changes in market interest rates will cause fluctuations in the
future interest earned on these balances. Any resulting impact on the Corporation’s financial results
would not be considered material.
Project debt – Changes in market interest rates will cause fluctuations in the amount of interest incurred
on any project debt outstanding. Assuming that the amount of project debt remains unchanged from
December 31, 2013 and that the change in interest rate was effective from the beginning of the year, a
1% change in prime interest rates would have resulted in a $41,334 change in the financing costs
capitalized by the Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2013. In order to manage the
Corporation’s exposure to such risk, management regularly monitors prime lending rates to determine
what steps, if any, are required to minimize the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk. Such steps
may include the Corporation fixing the interest rate of all or any part of its project debt. Fluctuations in
prime lending rates to date have not been significant and, as a result, such risk minimizing steps have
not been undertaken.
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. The fair value of debentures payable may fluctuate from
time to time due to changes in market interest rates. Since the holders of the Debentures are also the
Class B shareholders of the Corporation, management does not plan on taking any action to address
any interest rate differential between the stated interest rate on the Debentures and market interest
rates because this has no impact on the overall investment objectives of the Corporation.
iv) Currency risk
The Corporation does not engage in foreign currency denominated transactions. As a result, it has no
exposure to currency risk.
17. COMMITMENTS
The following table presents future commitments of the Corporation under the Management Services Agreement
(note 13) up to June 30, 2016. It does not include the performance fee payable to WDM under the Project

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
31
The commitment for the management fee (note 13) will extend for the length of the Project. However, after June 30,
2016, it will be 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.
As noted in note 6, the Corporation also has a commitment to complete construction of infrastructure required as part
of the development agreement with the City of Edmonton. While a portion of these costs are recoverable in nature,
there is an element of these costs that will be absorbed by the Corporation.
18. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Corporation defines capital as total Shareholders’ Equity, Debentures Payable, Interest Debentures Payable,
Project Debt and balances Due to Related Parties. At December 31, 2013, the total capital managed was
$34,006,157(December 31, 2012 - $32,378,080)
The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are to:
(i) ensure adequate capital is retained by the Corporation to obtain construction loans to fund construction
of the project;
(ii) ensure that the Corporation is able to meet all obligations relating to the entity and the development of
the land, through sale of the lots; and
(iii) maximize the rate of return to our Shareholders
The Corporation manages the capital structure by using short and long term cash flow projections to determine that
the amount of cash available to meet on-going obligations is either retained by the Corporation, available through
construction loan facilities or is available through agreements with related parties. The Corporation may elect to use
interest debentures to settle debenture payable interest payments and has the ability to convert debentures payable
to Share Capital if needed to maintain adequate capital levels. Project Debt is intended to be utilized to finance future
phases of development which may require partial or full guarantees by WIGI to obtain or maintain facilities at market
rates.
There were no changes to the way we define capital, our objectives, and our policies and processes for managing
capital from the prior fiscal year.
The Corporation was in compliance with all conditions under Phase 1 Construction Loan as at December 31, 2013.
The conditions are all non-financial in nature.
