LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Nov 27, 2013) - Warnex Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WNX.H) ("Warnex") announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Following the repayment of the Company's debts accomplished primarily from the sale of all of the Company's operating business units, the Board has been focused on reducing expenses, has undertaken a strategic review of the Company's remaining assets and has initiated discussions with certain investment banking groups and other external parties. The Company has also entered into discussions with its landlord with a view to terminating the long-term operating lease for its Laval, Quebec facilities as soon as reasonably practicable. The outcome of this review remains uncertain at this time, and the Board will update shareholders if and when any progress is made.
"The Board continues to focus its efforts on reducing all operating costs, as evidenced by lower Q3-2013 general and administrative costs, and as such, the Company's financial position at September 30, 2013 and as of today continues to remain strong as the Board continues to evaluate all available strategic options," remarked Michael Singer, Chairman of Warnex. "We look forward in reaching a conclusion to this ongoing process and making a recommendation to all Warnex shareholders as soon as reasonably possible."
