CALGARY, Nov. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - Petro-Victory Energy Corp. ("Petro-Victory" or the "Company") (TSX-V: VRY) is pleased to announce the timely filings of its third quarter financials and Management Discussion and Analysis with the TSX Venture Exchange yesterday. Although the activities of the Company in the quarter were limited due to the market conditions, two matters of significance were included in the filings.
First of all, as a "subsequent event" the Company provided more details regarding the previously disclosed October sale/exchange of their 36% working interest in the Pirity Concession of Paraguay. The exchange for a 3% Net Profits Interest (NPI) plus other monetary consideration virtually eliminated the need for any future additional cash investment, exposure to asset retirement obligations, or payment of remediation costs in the Concession. As a trade-off for eliminating those outlay exposures, the Company simultaneously reduced its opportunity for potential profits from the Concession.
Secondly, management and the board of directors took the opportunity to carefully evaluate the carrying cost on the books for the NPI, the remaining Paraguayan asset. In accordance with IFRS guidelines, the Company estimated the discounted future value of the asset to be $10.3 million, and recorded a $55 million write-down of its Exploration and Evaluation Assets.
