DORVAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 05/29/14 -- Warnex Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WNX.H) ("Warnex" or the "Company") announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
As announced on May 5, 2014, the Company has entered into a binding letter of agreement with Diagnos pursuant to which Warnex will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diagnos. The transaction remains subject to certain closing conditions including without limitation, (i) satisfactory completion of the due diligence investigation by Warnex; (ii) receipt of all necessary approvals and consents, including but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange; (iii) approval by a majority of the Warnex shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders scheduled for June 26, 2014, and such other closing conditions customary for transactions of this nature as may be specified in the definitive agreement.
Financial results
Net loss for the quarter amounted to $99,402, or $nil per share compared to net loss of $453,637 or $0.02 per share for the same quarter in 2013. The Board continues to be focused on reducing expenses, as evidenced by lower general and administrative expenses, and is expecting this trend to continue going forward.
General and administrative expenses amounted to $105,311 for the quarter compared to $452,119 for the same quarter last year. General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of lower facility operating costs amounting to approximately $120,000 as a result of the lease termination effective December 2013, reduced legal fees due to one-time mandates in the first quarter of 2013 amounting to approximately $180,000 and reduced board of director fees amounting to approximately $70,000 due to a reduction in the total number of required directors, partially offset by lower foreign exchange gains amounting to approximately $22,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2014 due to fluctuations between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar.
Financial income amounted to $5,909 for the quarter compared to financial expenses of $1,518 for the same quarter last year.
The Company ended the first quarter of 2014 with cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million and working capital of $2.6 million, compared to $2.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital of $2.7 million as at December 31, 2013.
