CALGARY, AB, March 13, 2025 /CNW/ - CanAsia Energy Corp. ("CanAsia" or the "Company") (TSXV: CEC) reports 2024 year-end and fourth quarter consolidated financial and operating results. 

The Company is today filing its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and related management's discussion and analysis with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.  Copies of these documents may be obtained online at www.sedarplus.com or the Company's website, www.canasiacorp.com.

Commenting today on CanAsia's 2024 results, President and CEO Jeff Chisholm stated: "The company is pleased to announce that Government of Thailand has formally announced that bids are to be submitted by interested parties between July 1 and 16, 2025 on 9 onshore concessions located in the North East and Central plains of Thailand. Management are currently finalizing documents to evaluate the acreage and bid as part of a consortium with a 30% participating interest. Thailand will be the Company's primary focus of activities over the next four months while events and circumstances related to the trade dispute between the United States and Canada, including current and potential tariffs and other measures, may impact the timing of a potential transaction involving Andora Energy Corporation's Sawn Lake heavy oil asset."

HIGHLIGHTS

  • CanAsia had working capital totaling $3.1 million, no long-term debt and shareholders' equity of $7.8 million at December 31, 2024.
  • Common shares outstanding were 112.8 million at March 13, 2025 and at December 31, 2024.
  • In May 2024, Andora acquired certain Assets from the Debtors pursuant to Court approved receivership proceedings for a purchase price equal to $2.0 million (which includes the assumption of various obligations). The net consideration paid was approximately $1.3 million. The Assets included the Debtors' 25% working interest in various heavy oil sands leases in Sawn Lake, within the central Alberta Peace River Oil Sands region. Following the acquisition, Andora's working interest in the Sawn Lake Central block increased from 75% to 100%. See "Petroleum and Natural Gas Properties – Canada" in this MD&A.
  • The Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the Exploration and Evaluation ("E&E") assets acquired were recorded in the financial statements at $1.4 million. Management of CanAsia has determined that the amount of $1.4 million represents the fair value of the 25% Sawn Lake working interest acquired by Andora. As a result, the Company has partially reversed an impairment of E&E assets previously recorded in March 2020 by an amount of $4.2 million, to reflect the current carrying value of the remaining 75% Sawn Lake working interest already owned by Andora prior to the Acquisition. The carrying value of the E&E assets was $5.8 million at December 31, 2024.
  • As at December 31, 2024, Andora's Sawn Lake Project is considered to be in its evaluation stage. Recoverability of the Company's investment in the E&E assets is dependent on determining the technical feasibility of the project, obtaining additional financing, and successfully completing the development of the project. Capitalized costs incurred to date do not necessarily represent present or future values.
  • On January 16, 2024, the Company completed a brokered private placement financing for gross proceeds of $1.258 million comprised of 12,580,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share. In connection with this private placement, the Company recorded $118 thousand in share issue costs, comprised of $116 in commission and fees and the estimated fair value of $2 thousand associated with 24,600 broker warrants issued to the broker. Each broker warrant is exercisable for common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of two years from the issue date.
  • On December 21, 2023, the Company completed a brokered private placement financing for gross proceeds of $5.042 million comprised of 50,420,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share. In connection with this private placement, the Company recorded $533 thousand in share issue costs, comprised of $416 thousand in commission and fees and the estimated fair value of $117 thousand associated with 1,825,200 broker warrants issued to the broker. Each broker warrant is exercisable for common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of two years from the issue date.
  • During 2024, the Company granted options to directors, officers, and an employee to purchase an aggregate of 8.3 million common shares under CanAsia's equity incentive plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.135 per share.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders in 2024 was $1.2 million ($0.01 per share) compared to net loss of $3.2 million ($0.06 per share) in 2023. Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.8 million ($0.01 per share) compared to $1.1 million ($0.02 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Cash flow used in operations in 2024 was $2.7 million ($0.02 per share) compared to $2.0 million ($0.04 per share) in 2023. Cash flow used in operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.4 million ($0.00 per share) compared to $0.4 million ($0.01 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • General and administrative expense in 2024 was $2.2 million compared to $2.1 million in 2023. General and administrative expense was $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023. General and administrative expense is comprised primarily of expenses related to personnel and premises, external services, and public company costs.
    • Personnel and premises costs were $0.7 million in 2024 and 2023, and $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023. These costs include salaries and benefits for employees, and fees incurred for consultants. They also include rent and other office costs related to the Company's Calgary office.
    • External service costs for 2024 were $0.9 million compared to $0.8 million in 2023. External services costs were $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023. These costs mainly related to professional fees for legal, audit, tax services, information technology and engineering.
    • Public company costs were $0.4 million in 2024 and 2023, and $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023. These costs were incurred for maintaining the Company's status as a public company and mainly related to shareholder reporting and meeting, TSX fees, transfer agent, insurance and directors' fees.
  • Operating expenses in 2024 were $0.7 million compared to $0.6 million in 2023. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $0.2 million compared $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. These expenses were incurred to safeguard and maintain the assets of Andora's suspended SAGD project facility and wellpair at Sawn Lake Central.
  • The natural gas pipeline tariff agreement which was entered into between Andora and a third party in 2018 with a commencement date of June 1, 2023 was recognized as an onerous contract under IAS 37 since the operation at Sawn Lake is shut-in. The Company has recognized a provision of $1.0 million representing the net cost of fulfilling the contract as at December 31, 2024.
  • The current portion of the decommissioning provision of $0.6 million as at December 31, 2024 was related to the legacy subsidiaries of POEH which had held interests in the East Jabung Production Sharing Contract in Indonesia and a well pertaining to Andora's interests in Sawn Lake, Alberta. CanAsia is withdrawing from activities in Indonesia and decommissioning related costs are expensed when incurred. The non-current portion of the decommissioning provision of $1.9 million as December 31, 2024 pertained to Andora's interests in Sawn Lake, Alberta.
  • An impairment recovery of $4.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 2024 was related to a partial impairment reversal with respect to a 75% Sawn Lake working interest already owned by Andora prior to the Acquisition, as discussed above.

OUTLOOK

The Company is pleased to announce that the Government of Thailand has formally announced that bids are to be submitted by interested parties between July 1 and 16, 2025 on 9 onshore concessions located in the North East and Central plains of Thailand. Management are currently finalizing documents to evaluate the acreage and bid as part of a consortium, with a 30% participating interest. Thailand will be the Company's primary focus of activities over the next four months while events and circumstances related to the trade dispute between the United States and Canada, including current and potential tariffs and other measures, may impact the timing of a potential transaction involving Andora's Sawn Lake heavy oil asset.  The Company will continue to monitor the trade dispute as it involves and the potential impact thereof on the potential monetization of Andora's Sawn Lake heavy oil asset.
