CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwire) — 08/24/11 — CANADIAN PHOENIX RESOURCES CORP. (TSX VENTURE: CXP) (“Canadian Phoenix” or the “Corporation”) announces its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
2011 SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
The Corporation, through a Special Committee of the Board of Directors, continues to seek investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector. Neither the exact timing, nor the form of an appropriate transaction is known, but potential opportunities continue to be assessed.
Financial results and select financial information
Following the dispositions of its major producing assets in the second quarter of 2010, production from the Corporation–s remaining assets was negligible during the first and second quarters of 2011. The Corporation incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $301,876 and for the three months ended June 30, 2011, reflecting operating and administrative costs that were partially off-set by interest income of $273,074.
Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Corporation sold the majority of its remaining oil and gas assets for $200,000, with the sale being effective June 1, 2011. Following the sale of these assets, the Corporation has few legacy oil and gas properties. It is anticipated that in the immediate future, interest income will be sufficient to cover the Corporation–s operating and administrative expenses and that earnings and cash flow will be flat or slightly positive. This preserves the strength of the Corporation–s financial position from which it can make strategic investments in the future.
Selected financial results are as follows and the Corporation–s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as well as its 2010 audited annual financial statements can be found at and on the Corporation–s website at .
