Sounds like much very good news again. Management appears to really be working the financials with respect to hedging and leveraging/deleveraging to improve cash flow. One would think the SP would begin to firm up going forward.
I found the ABCP news especially interesting, as I really didn't expect to see anything positive come out of that.
"Petrolifera was pleased to see a long-overdue final resolution of the
Asset Backed Commercial Paper ("ABCP") controversy in Canada. The company
recently received over $1 million of accrued interest, calculated after
deducting legal costs associated with the resolution agreed and approved under
the Canada Business Corporations Act and the Company Creditors' Arrangement
Act. This is the first interest payment we have received since the market for
ABCP froze in 2007. We also anticipate being issued and receiving new notes to
replace those acquired in the open market prior to August 2007 and also
completion of a revised credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank, which
will allow us to categorize related borrowings as long-term. This will result
in an improvement in Petrolifera's working capital. Also, we anticipate an
expansion of the credit facility to approximately 75 percent of the face value
of the notes. This will further increase our liquidity by approximately $10
million. The estimated fair value of the ABCP replacement notes will be
assessed in the context of our year end 2008 financial and operating results
and audit thereof."
