Wilmington Announces Second Quarter Results for 2011


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 11, 2011) - Wilmington Capital Management Inc. (TSX:WCM.A)(TSX:WCM.B) today announced a loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 of $87,000 compared to net income of $79,000 for the same period in 2010. The net loss per Class A and Class B share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $(0.01), compared to net income of $0.01 per share for the same period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income amounted to $20.2 million or $2.55 per share compared to $8,000 or NIL cents per share for the same period in 2010.

On January 7, 2011, all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities Inc. were acquired by the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation for $7.30 in cash per common share. Pursuant to this transaction, Wilmington received $40.6 million in proceeds, realized a pre-tax gain of $23.6 million and repaid its $14.6 million loan payable facility relating to the Parkbridge shares.

In February, 2011, Wilmington acquired a 46.15% indirect interest in a portfolio of five self-storage facilities and two development properties in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario through the Real Storage Private Trust (the "Trust"). The five operating properties are in the initial lease up stage and are expected to reach stabilized occupancy and cash flow in 2012. Wilmington's share of the cash consideration to complete the acquisition consisted of $2.5 million in additional equity to the Trust and a $1.625 million bridge loan to the Trust repayable upon demand and bearing interest at 7% per annum. The bridge loan and accrued interest have since been fully repaid with proceeds from the sale of one of the development properties. The Trust now owns 17 self-storage facilities comprising 645,978 square feet of rentable area and one development property.

Wilmington also owns land leased to commercial property owners which is located at 370 Third Street in San Francisco, California. During the fourth quarter of 2010, Wilmington reorganized its investment in this property and entered into a new secured credit facility on which $1.5 million net is drawn, bears interest at 4% per annum and is repayable on January 1, 2013. At maturity this credit facility is payable, at the borrower's discretion, in cash or in shares of the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary which owns the property.

Beginning January 1, 2011, the Corporation has prepared its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, certain adjustments were made to comply with IFRS for the current and comparable periods.

The Corporation has recently completed its 2011 strategic plan and will be taking steps to broaden its investment strategy to include selective investments in the real estate as well as the energy sectors. The Corporation's principal objective will continue to be aimed at generating appreciation in value from its investments as opposed to current income. Accordingly, net income, excluding gains and losses from investment dispositions, is expected to be minimal in any given year.
