SECOND QUARTER 2013 HIGHLIGHTS
During the second quarter, the Corporation took significant
steps to solidify and build upon the foundation of its three
operating platforms - self storage facilities, private equity funds
and natural gas assets, through additional investment in three
self-storage facilities and natural gas assets.
In May 2013, the Corporation invested $2.5 million in Real
Storage Private Trust to fund the acquisition of three self-storage
facilities. The total cost of these acquisitions amounted to $16.0
million and were comprised of a 39,000 square foot self-storage
facility with capacity to add a 12,000 square foot expansion in
Barrie, Ontario and two self-storage facilities in Red Deer,
Alberta, comprising 78,000 square feet of rentable area, a file
retention facility and 96 portable storage units (totaling 11,000
square feet).
Subsequent to the second quarter, Wilmington invested $2.2
million to acquire a 36.5% ownership interest in Northpoint
Resources Ltd. ("Northpoint"), a privately held natural gas
producer with assets in the Altares region of northeastern British
Columbia. Northpoint currently produces approximately 7,200 mcf per
day (1,200 boepd) and has proven plus probable reserves of 7,605
Mboe (45,630 Mmcfe). In addition, the Corporation completed the
sale of its commercial land in San Francisco, California. The sale
closed on July 31, 2013.
As at June 30, 2013, Wilmington had assets under management in
its operating platforms of approximately $135 million ($66 million
representing Wilmington's share).
OPERATIONS REVIEW
Wilmington continues to execute it principal objectives of
making investments capable of generating appreciation in value as
opposed to current income and to maximize shareholder returns by
investing its own capital alongside partners and co-investors in
hard assets and private equity funds. These assets are managed
through the Corporation's operating platforms where Wilmington can
add scale and improve valuations.
Storage Facilities
Real Storage Private Trust ("Trust")
The Trust (44.78% owned) now owns 20 self-storage facilities
comprising 787,000 square feet of rentable area and one development
property. The Trust recorded significant improvements in 2013 as
the facilities in western Canada, which were for the most part in
the initial lease up stage, achieved stabilized occupancy levels.
During the second quarter of 2013, same store occupancy levels
averaged 82%, compared to 77% in 2012 and same store operating
margins for Q2 2013 of 58% compared to Q2 2012 of 55%.
Private Equity
Network Capital Management Inc. ("NCI") and Network 2012
Fund
NCI (50% owned) has funds under management now totaling
approximately $37 million and the majority of Network's available
capital has been successfully deployed in a strong mix of junior
oil and gas and service companies. Wilmington committed $8 million
of capital to the Network 2012 Fund.
Natural Gas Assets
Shackleton 2011 Limited Partnership (the "Shackleton
Partnership")
The natural gas assets owned through the Shackleton Partnership
(59% owned) have proven to be of high quality and present good
opportunities for growth and future development once we reach a
more favorable natural gas pricing environment. The weighted
average price realized during the three months ended June 30, 2013
was $3.33 per mcf and operating netbacks averaged $1.77 per mcf
(realized price of $1.92/mcf and netbacks of $0.80/mcf for the
comparable period in 2012). Natural gas production volumes for the
100% interest in the Shackleton field amounted to 4,231 mcf per day
(705 boepd). Of its 2013 production, approximately 50% has been
hedged under fixed price contracts with an average price of $3.18
per GJ.
Northpoint Resources Ltd. ("Northpoint")
Subsequent to the second quarter of 2013, the Corporation grew
its natural gas platform by investing in Northpoint, a privately
held oil and gas producer with assets in the Altares region of
northeastern British Columbia. Northpoint's production is
approximately 7,200 mcf/d (1,200 boe/d) with total proved plus
probable reserves totaling approximately 45,630 Mmcfe (7,605 Mboe).
The Corporation acquired a 36.5% ownership interest in Northpoint
for total cash consideration of $2.2 million. In addition, and as
part of an overall recapitalization plan, Wilmington acquired $0.8
million of a 10%, $5 million debenture issue in Northpoint which
matures on July 30, 2017. Northpoint is professionally managed by
an experienced executive team. As part of the transaction, the
Corporation is entitled to nominate three of the seven directors to
the Northpoint board.
Discontinued Operations
During 2012, the Corporation took steps to nationalize its core
business and entered into an agreement to sell its interest in
commercial land in San Francisco, California. The sale closed on
July 31, 2013. As part of the transaction, the secured debt was
assumed by the purchaser and certain loans were settled.
Outlook
The Corporation believes that the foundation for achieving
future growth through its three operating platforms - the Real
Storage Private Trust, Network Capital Management Inc. and the
Shackleton Partnership - are now firmly in place. In the years
ahead, the Corporation expects to add scale to these operating
platforms, improve valuations and earn attractive cash flow and
total returns for shareholders.
