CALGARY, July 28, 2011 /CNW/ -- 
CALGARY, July 28, 2011 /CNW/ - NewNorth Projects Ltd. ("NewNorth")
 (TSXV:NNP) today announced its financial results for the six months
 ending June 30, 2011.


Mr. Greg Herndier, President and Chief Executive Officer of NewNorth,
 reports a net loss after tax of $843,000 which includes debenture
 interest of $278,000.


After tax loss per share, basic and diluted is $0.07.


Select information for the period:


    --  In the second quarter of 2011, ten units of the Vista Village
        project, a condominium project in Red Deer, Alberta were
        sold. The gross proceeds for these sales were approximately
        $1,534,000. At the date of this document, five additional units
        have been sold and the remaining units, sixteen, are
        conditionally sold and are expected to close by the end of
        August.
    --  NewNorth sold its 50% interest in a rental property in
        Yellowknife, NWT on June 1, 2011 for $342,087.
    --  At June 30, 2011, the Company's current ratio (current assets
        to current liabilities) is 1.78:1 and the adjusted debt to
        equity ratio is 0.52:1 which exceeds NewNorth's operating loan
        covenants requirements of a current ratio not to be less than
        1.25:1 and an adjusted debt to equity ratio not to exceed 2:1.



Management believes that the value of the net assets of NewNorth
 significantly exceeds the current share value.


Two of management's goals in 2011 are to lower the cost of operating by
 paying out a portion of its debenture payable and to recapitalize the
 Company. The above mention sales are the first step in the financial
 restructuring being undertaken by management. These measures will allow
 management to refocus its efforts on key development opportunities.


NNP continues to add value to land holdings by obtaining the necessary
 approvals. Having those approvals will allow NNP to begin to execute
 development plans. NewNorth anticipates selling the balance of the
 Sheep River project this year. 


NewNorth is an integrated land and building development Corporation
 operating in Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
