WINALTA EMERGES FROM CCAA PROTECTION AS OILFIELD SERVICE COMPANY
CALGARY, Oct. 22 /CNW/ - Winalta Inc. (TSX-V - "WTA.A") ("Winalta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its press releases of April 26, September 24 and October 14, 2010, the Company has now received court and creditor approval for its Plan of Arrangement (the "Plan") pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the "CCAA") pursuant to an Order granted on October 22, 2010 by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial Centre of Edmonton (the "Court") and a vote by the affected secured creditors of the Company held on October 14, 2010, as required by the Court. Winalta, together with its subsidiary companies Winalta Carriers Inc., Winalta Oilfield Rentals Inc. and Baywood Property Management Inc. will now be amalgamated to form Winalta Inc. ("New Winalta") and will emerge from CCAA protection to begin focused operations on their oilfield services business. New Winalta will not have any material subsidiaries.
New Winalta will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol: WTA.A. New Winalta's head office is located at #4 26302 Township Road, Acheson Alberta, T7X 5A3 with its registered office located at 120, 110 Quarry Park Blvd. SE Calgary, Alberta T2C 3G3.
History
Winalta Inc. had been operating as an integrated company with three main operating divisions, Homes, Industrial, and Manufacturing. The Homes Division sold CSA approved homes via retail centers, communities and supply arrangements. The Industrial Division leased portable industrial accommodations and provided construction services that included excavating, aggregate trucking and paving. The Manufacturing Division built CSA approved homes and portable industrial accommodations from facilities near Spruce Grove, Alberta.
In March of 2010, Winalta's principal lender, HSBC Bank of Canada ("HSBC"), made a demand for payment of approximately $46 million of indebtedness owing by Winalta and its subsidiaries to HSBC under various loans and guarantees.
Following review by the Board of Directors of Winalta and in consultation with advisors, Winalta elected to seek protection under the CCAA as its then current cash in hand would not allow it to meet its obligations. CCAA protection stayed creditors and others from enforcing rights against Winalta and afforded it the opportunity to restructure its financial affairs.
While under CCAA protection, Winalta Inc.'s Board of Directors maintained its usual role and its management remained responsible for the day-to-day operations of Winalta under the supervision of Deloitte & Touche Inc., who was the Court-appointed Monitor, and who was responsible for reviewing Winalta's ongoing operations, assisting with the development and filing of the Plan, liaising with creditors and other stakeholders and reporting to the Court. The Board of Directors and management of Winalta was primarily responsible for formulating the Plan for restructuring Winalta's affairs.
Court Approved Dispositions
While under CCAA protection, the Court approved a number of arm's length asset dispositions, the proceeds from which were utilized to satisfy in part, the debt owed to HSBC and other secured creditors.
- the sale of Winalta's Acheson manufacturing plant and land for cash consideration of $12.3 million on September 21, 2010.
- the sale of 29 homes and lots plus 3 vacant lots in Sylvan Lake, Alberta for cash consideration of $3,825,000 on July 6, 2010.
- the unconditional sale of Winalta's North Battleford Facility for cash consideration of $2,400,000 to be received October 29, 2010.
- the sale of Winalta's Jutland Ridge Property for cash consideration of $2,100,000 on October 13, 2010.
- the sale of three Drayton Valley gravel pit leases for cash consideration of $1,600,000 on October 15, 2010.
- the sale of 118 acres of residential property in Estevan, Saskatchewan for cash consideration of $1,600,000 on July 30, 2010.
- the sale of 6.13 acres of highway commercial property in Grande Prairie, Alberta for cash consideration of $1,440,000 on May 31, 2010.
- the sale of Winalta's Drayton Valley lands for cash consideration of $1,000,000 on September 1, 2010.
- the sale of a shop located in Drayton Valley, Alberta for cash consideration of $700,000 on September 14, 2010.
- the sale of Winalta's Bruderheim lands for cash consideration of $600,000 on September 1, 2010.
As a result of the above Court ordered dispositions, Winalta was able to apply an aggregate of approximately $27,500,000 towards repayment outstanding bank debt.
In addition to Court approved asset dispositions, Winalta was successful in completing the sale of 83 homes from its inventory for approximately $9.5 million in proceeds. These proceeds were used to fund day to day operations, pay professional fees related to the CCAA process and to further reduce bank debt.
The Court has additionally granted Winalta an Order relieving it of its obligation to hold an annual meeting of its shareholders within the time prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) until such time as the Court orders the annual meeting of Winalta's shareholders to be called.
Support from Majority Shareholder
Artie Kos, President and CEO of Winalta and majority shareholder of Winalta on several occasions was asked by Winalta's primary lender and the Monitor to provide cash injections and or security to Winalta to allow it to continue through the CCAA process. Since April 26, 2010, Artie Kos, through Kos Corp. Investments Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, has provided the following support to Winalta:
- In July of 2010 committed to provide up to $2 million in additional financing in the event that financing could not be found to pay out HSBC
- In September of 2010 provided $3 million in trust to the Monitor to secure an extension to the forbearance agreement with HSBC and allow for Winalta to submit its Plan of Arrangement
- In September and October of 2010 paid $95,000 for appraisals, upfront fees, financial advisory services and other fees that Winalta was not granted permission by the Monitor to pay
- In October of 2010 provided $300,000 in trust to secure term financing as Winalta was not granted permission by the Monitor to provide the security
- Has made available certain guarantees which may or may not be called upon as the company exits CCAA
New Winalta
New Winalta rents, delivers, installs, provides maintenance and dismantlement services for modular camp units, sleepers, well site trailers and portable power, water and waste treatment system rentals to the oil and gas, construction, mining and forest industries in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It is the intention of New Winalta going forward to have new units manufactured by third party established vendors. New Winalta is on the approved vendors list of all of Western Canada's largest oil and gas industry participants and has one of the best safety records in the industry and is a proud member of Enform - the health, safety and training arm of the petroleum industry.
Historically, wellsites are rented without long term contracts while the camp business can see companies commit under a contractual arrangement depending on the size of and the duration that the camp is required. New Winalta's camps are much smaller and focused on the drilling industry and as such the contracts are often for a much shorter period of time.
The Company presently has 3 signed agreements with major oil and gas companies in Western Canada and currently has commitments for its entire fleet of camps and wellsites for the 2010/2011 winter drilling season.
Our Industry
The industry is characterized by the rental of modular structures for use as workforce accommodation and temporary workspace required for the oil and gas, construction, mining and forest industries and to provide related services including transportation, installation, dismantling, repair and maintenance of modular structures including both portable power, water and waste treatment facilities. Modular structures are supplied for drill camps, completion camps, free standing sleepers, geologist/engineer quarters and staff quarters. The demand, pricing and terms for modular structures is highly dependent on the level of industry activity for Canadian resource companies. The level of activity is influenced by several factors: commodity prices, the cost of exploring for and developing resources, available infrastructure capacity, and the ability of project oriented resource companies to raise equity capital and debt financing. The modular structure market is highly competitive with both regional suppliers and large multi-national companies in the industry.
Management estimates that there are approximately 3,000 wellsites available for rental services in the WCSB area that the Company presently services. This amount would effectively service the 800 drilling rigs, which is the industry available rig count at this time. Based on this data, management believes that a key measurement of success in this business is the multiplier relationship between the overall drilling rig utilization in the WCSB and the utilization of the Company's modular structures. Since inception, the Company has enjoyed an average utilization multiplier from fiscal 2007 to 2009 of 1.93, projected at 1.3 for the 2010 fiscal year despite the very slow start to the 2009/10 winter drilling season and projected at 1.6 for 2011. It is management's view that based on internal industry data that these multipliers would be in the top quartile of the industry.

New Credit Facilities
Bridge Financing
On October 13, 2010, New Winalta signed a commitment letter with Century Services Inc. for a bridge financing facility in the aggregate amount of $15 million.

On October 5, 2010, New Winalta signed a commitment letter with Alberta Treasury Branches for an operating facility with a limit of $5 million.

The Credit Facility contains a number of provisions that serve to limit the amount of debt New Winalta is permitted to incur.

Under the Credit Facility, the total debt to tangible net worth covenant requires that New Winalta does not exceed a ratio 2.0 : 1 calculated monthly. The covenant is calculated based on the definition provided by the lender.

2. PRO FORMA UNAUDITED BALANCE SHEET AND STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS TRANSACTIONS
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations gives effect to the following assumptions, transactions and adjustments as if they occurred on October 31, 2009:
The site built home business of the Company was discontinued during the second quarter of 2009 and the Construction business was discontinued in the second quarter of 2010. The Homes sales, community development and manufacturing businesses were discontinued in the third quarter of 2010. The discontinued operations were evaluated by management and the decision was made to actively market and dispose of these operations. In the second quarter of 2010 the decision was made to dispose of the construction division assets through various auctions. The sale of these assets has been completed. In the third quarter of 2010 the decision was made to sell the manufacturing facility and liquidate the remaining inventory of homes, lots and land held for development. The sale of substantially all of these assets is expected to be completed by October 2010. The total loss on these assets amounts to $9.4 million and has been included in "Loss on disposal and impairment of assets" in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and as further described below. The losses and impairments recorded are based on the best information available as of the statement dates and in some circumstances are estimates for sales that have not closed.
