VANCOUVER, B.C. – Hillcrest Petroleum Ltd. (the “Company” or “Hillcrest”) announces the Company has released it financial results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Highlights
- For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 the Company achieved a decrease in net loss of approximately $1.2M, or 34%, compared to the prior year period.
- Management implemented cost saving measures to reduce administrative costs by 27%
- Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company completed the sale of all of its Working Interest in the Eugene Island 32 oil field. The sale of this property also includes the transfer to the purchaser of our share of the forward liability for field de-commissioning costs, which we estimated at approximately US$6.7M net to the Company on an undiscounted basis. In addition to removing this significant forward liability, the divestment of this asset is a substantial step forward in the strategic objective to reposition the Company as an onshore operator focussed on conventional oil and gas development.
- The Company has, subject to TSX Venture exchange approval, completed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement through the issuance of 7,300,000 units at $0.05 for gross proceeds of $365,000.
In addition to points listed the Company is pursuing and, where possible, implementing further reductions in corporate and operational costs and these will be published in the 4th quarter, year end statements.
