About Woodbridge Holdings Corporation

Woodbridge Holdings Corporation, directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries, seeks to invest opportunistically within and outside the real estate industry. Historically, the Company's operations were primarily within the real estate industry; however, the Company's current business strategy includes the pursuit of opportunistic investments and acquisitions within or outside of the real estate industry, as well as the continued development of master-planned communities. Under this business strategy, the Company may not generate a constant earnings stream and the composition of the Company's revenues may vary widely due to factors inherent in a particular investment, including the maturity of the business, market conditions and cyclicality. Net investment gains and other income that may occur are to be driven by the Company's strategic initiatives as well as overall market conditions.
