Walton Westphalia Development Corporation Reports First Quarter 2020 Fiscal Results

Walton Westphalia Development Corporation (the "Corporation") announced today its results for the first quarter of 2020. Launched in March 2012, the Corporation was formed to provide investors with the opportunity to participate in the acquisition and development of the 310-acre Westphalia Property (the "Property or the "Project") located in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States of America.

Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19")

Since early 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada and the United States, businesses have been forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of nonessential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic shutdown. The short and long-term impact to the real estate market is unknown at this time and therefore the impact to the Corporation's land and development costs is unknown as of the date of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

2020 Highlights

During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation closed on the sale of Phase 1A to Galaxy NC, LLC ("Galaxy"). The Corporation also signed a letter of intent ("LOI") with a regional retail developer to develop 30 acres of Phase 1 retail with the goal of executing a sale agreement in Q2 of 2020, but due to the impacts of COVID-19, the scope of the retail is being re-evaluated by the regional retail developer and the timing of executing the sale agreement is expected to be moved out a year. The Corporation is actively seeking purchasers and developers for the lands associated with Phases 2 and 3 and considering whether to renegotiate or refinance its senior debt with its related party, WWMN, LLC. The key activities undertaken by the Corporation were as follows:

Construction Activities

• Completed the construction of the Westphalia Green central park;
• Received permits from the Maryland State Highway Administration ("SHA") for the Woodyard Road Interchange project;
• Awarded the contract to Allen Myers for the construction of the Woodyard Road Interchange project to start in Q2 of 2020.

Sales Activities

• On January 29, 2020, the Corporation closed on the sale of Phase 1A to Galaxy for $14.15 million USD. The Corporation continues to work on final post-closing matters as it relates to easements, the construction of Presidential Parkway ? East (TIF funded), grandfathered trip allocation and increasing the residential density allowed.

The single-family market in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan statistical area ("MSA"), and specifically in the Prince George's County submarket, continues to be strong. The Project has received commitments to sell 346 lots to three homebuilders, NVR, Inc. (144 lots), Mid-Atlantic Builders (99 lots) and Haverford Homes (103 lots). As of May 15, 2020 NVR, Inc. had closed on all 144 lots, Haverford Homes had closed on all 103 lots, and Mid-Atlantic Builders had closed on 87 lots. NVR reported 144 home sales (contracts with future homeowners), Haverford reported 101 home sales, and Mid-Atlantic reported 90 home sales. There have been 309 occupancies; 144 for NVR, 91 for Haverford, and 74 for Mid-Atlantic.

Management continues to focus on strategies to maximize the returns of the project, which include, but are not limited to:

• The Corporation agreed to terms with a regional retail developer for a joint venture on 30 acres of the Phase 1 retail with the intent to have a joint venture agreement in place in Q2 of 2020; however, due to the impacts of COVID-19 the retail developer has stated that they are at least a year delayed on the full scope as they seek to understand the overall impact. They have stated that their interest in developing approximately 2 acres for a convenience store/gas station. The Corporation will continue to work with this developer on working this sale into the overall masterplan.
• The Corporation will work with the local community, County leadership and staff to re-plan additional development within the Westphalia Town Center. The Corporation will also work with the various consultants to implement a shift in the project's scope after having received input from those detailed above by reducing the significant retail and office space that had been previously planned.
