The capital cost of the building to Wally’s in September 2012 was $400,000. The company has been taking capital cost allowance on the structure on the basis that it is a Class 1 (NRB) asset with a capital cost allowance rate of 6%. In May 2014, a fire virtually destroyed the building.

In August 2014, under an insurance policy with the Risk-Averters Insurance Company, Wally’s received $385,000 for the destruction of the building. In 2016, a new building was constructed for $465,000.
