shareholders of $324,000 or ($0.04) for the same period in

Operating Highlights
Business Strategy
The Corporation's principal objectives are to make 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.
During the first quarter, the Corporation continued to take
steps to solidify the foundation of its three newly formed
operating platforms - self storage facilities, private equity funds
and natural gas assets. As at May 14, 2013, Wilmington had assets
under management in its operating platforms of approximately $148
million ($68 million representing Wilmington's share).
Investment in Real Storage Private Trust (the "Trust")
The Trust (44.78% owned) owns 17 self-storage facilities
comprising 645,978 square feet of rentable area and one development
property. The Trust showed significant improvements in 2013 as the
five properties in western Canada, which were for the most part in
the initial lease up stage, approached stabilized occupancy levels.
During the first quarter of 2013, occupancy levels averaged 78%,
compared to 75% in 2012. Operating margins in the first quarter of
2013 improved to 51% up from 43% for the comparable quarter in
2012.
Subsequent to March 31, 2013, the Trust acquired two
self-storage facilities - one located in the western region in Red
Deer, Alberta (the "Alberta Facility") and the other located in the
eastern region in Barrie, Ontario (the "Ontario Facility"). The
Alberta Facility is comprised of approximately 78,000 square feet
of rentable area, a portable storage business and a file retention
business. The Ontario Facility is comprised of approximately 39,000
square feet of rentable area with an additional 12,000 square foot
expansion currently under construction. The two acquisitions were
funded by two separate five-year, fixed-rate mortgages, an
unsecured credit facility, equity of the Trust and available cash.
Wilmington's cash contribution was $2.5 million bringing its total
investment in the Trust to approximately $10 million.
Investment in Network Capital Management Inc. ("NCI") and
Network 2012 Fund
Network Capital Management Inc. (50% owned) has funds under
management now totalling approximately $50 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.
Investment in Shackleton 2011 Limited Partnership (the
"Shackleton Partnership" or the "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 March 31, 2013
was $3.17 per mcf and operating netbacks averaged $1.90 per mcf
(realized price of $2.10/mcf and netbacks of $0.65/mcf for the
comparable period in 2012). Natural gas production volumes for the
100% interest in the Shackleton field amounted to 4,452 mcf per day
(742 boepd). The outlook for natural gas pricing has improved
significantly and a better pricing environment will be beneficial
to the operating performance of the Shackleton assets. Of its 2013
production, approximately 50% has been hedged under fixed price
contracts with an average price of $3.18 per mcf.
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Corporation took steps to
rationalize its core business and entered into an agreement to sell
its interest in commercial land in San Francisco, California. The
sale is scheduled to close during the second quarter of 2013.
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.
