THIRD QUARTER 2013 HIGHLIGHTS
During the third quarter, the Corporation took further steps to solidify and
build upon the foundation of its three operating platforms - self storage
facilities, private equity funds and natural gas assets.
In July 2013, 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 produced 7,050 mcf/d (1,175 boe/d) during the third quarter and has
proven plus probable reserves of 7,605 Mboe (45,630 Mmcfe).
In addition, the Corporation completed the divesture of its non-core assets with
the sale of its commercial land in San Francisco, California, for cash proceeds
of USD $983,000, the transfer of the USD $19 million secured debt and the
settlement of certain loans payable.
As at September 30, 2013, Wilmington had assets under management in its
operating platforms of approximately $138 million ($55 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) 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 third quarter of 2013, same store occupancy levels averaged
85%, compared to 81% in 2012; same store operating margins for Q3 2013 of 60%
compared to Q3 2012 margins of 56%.
During the third quarter, the Trust commenced quarterly distributions to its
unitholders equivalent to 3% per annum on invested capital. The distribution for
the third quarter was $168,000 (Corporation's share - $75,000).
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 invested $8 million of capital in 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
September 30, 2013 was $2.84 per mcf and operating netbacks averaged $1.41 per
mcf (realized price of $2.28 per mcf and netbacks of $1.03 per mcf for the
comparable period in 2012). Natural gas production volumes for the 100% interest
in the Shackleton field amounted to 4,139 mcf/d (690 boe/d). Of its 2013
production, approximately 50% has been hedged under fixed price contracts with
an average price of $3.35 per mcf.
Northpoint Resources Ltd. ("Northpoint")
On July 30, 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 during Q3 2013
was 1,175 boe/d and has 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
August 1, 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
On July 31, 2013, the Corporation completed the sale of its interests in
commercial land in San Francisco, California. The Corporation received total
proceeds of USD $20.0 million comprised of cash proceeds of USD $983,000 and the
transfer of the secured debt of USD $19.0 million to the purchaser. Cash
proceeds from the sale were used to settle certain loans payable. The sale was
part of the steps in rationalizing the Corporation's core business.
Outlook
2012 and 2013 have been formative years and the Corporation believes that the
foundation for achieving future growth through its three operating platforms -
self storage, private equity and oil and natural gas - is now 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.
