$12.5 Million Sale of Real Estate in Sedona, Arizona
PHOENIX,
June 1, 2001 -- NZ Corporation (AMEX: NZ), also operating under
the name of NZ/Bridge Financial, a short-term commercial real estate
financing company, announced today that it recently completed the
sale of approximately 136 acres of land known as Seven Canyons,
located in Sedona, Arizona. The land was sold to Sedona Development
Partners, LLC, a company formed by The Pinnacle Group and Cavan
Investments, both Scottsdale, Arizona based developers. The sales
price was $12.5 million, of which $6 million was paid in cash, and
$6.5 million of which will be paid pursuant to a six-year note.
The Company was also reimbursed for certain development expenses
in cash. This sale represents the disposition of land NZ acquired
in 1995. Since that time the Company obtained zoning approval from
Yavapai County officials to construct a golf course and time-share
development on the site.
Randy
Stolworthy, President and Chief Executive Officer of NZ Corporation
commented, "The sale of the Sedona property converts what had been
a static, non-earning asset outside of the Company's core business
to cash, which is more readily deployable into earning opportunities.
The monthly interest income from the deferred balance also creates
an earning opportunity that did not previously exist."
