Nexia Executes Contract to Sell Property for $1.01M

Nexia Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: NXHL) announced today that it has entered into final arrangements for the sale of the real property owned by Downtown Development Corporation (DDC), a subsidiary of Nexia, located in the 1300 South Block of State Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. The agreement for the sale of the property provides for a purchase price of $1.01 million.

Nexia's CEO Richard Surber expects the transaction to close within the next 60 days. The sale will include the building and the undeveloped lot which was recently acquired by DDC at this location. The buyer has completed their due diligence on the property and has indicated that they intend to proceed to closing.

CEO Richard Surber observed, "The first mortgage on the property is only $555,000. We will use the balance of the proceeds to further our operational goals which include improving our working capital position. I would like to point out to our shareholders that the sales price of this single piece of real estate is nearly 5 times our current market capitalization."

Surber reiterated, "I am very interested in deploying Nexia's resources into acquiring residential real estate. Given current market conditions, I believe there are bargains to be had in this sector of the market."
