Hyduke Resources Ltd. Year End Results
EDMONTON, ALBERTA--
OPERATING DIVISIONS: B.W. RIG REPAIR & SUPPLY RELIABLE AIRFLOW SALES & SERVICE CANWEST CRANE AND EQUIPMENT MIMCO ENTERPRISES
Hyduke Resources Ltd. (ASE: HYD - news) announces their financial results for the year ended April 30, 1999. Gross revenues of $13.9 million compare to $30.3 million for the previous year. There was a net loss for the company of $983,028 compared to a net profit of $1,999,872 in 1998. This results in a net loss of $.13 per share in 1999 compared to a net profit of $.27 per share in 1998.
The decrease in revenues and corresponding net loss is largely the result of the general downturn in the services sector of the oil and gas industry, which prevailed throughout the company's last fiscal year. It is significant to note, however, that Hyduke has over $1.8 million of equity as at April 30, 1999 and has a positive working capital amounting to $1.4 million.
John Babic, Chief Executive Officer of Hyduke Resources Ltd. stated that, ''The increase in the price of oil to a current level of around $23 U.S. per barrel is positive for the company and should translate into profits for the company beginning in the second quarter of this fiscal year. The recent acquisition of Mimco Enterprises Ltd., a Calgary-based company providing fabrication and hi-tech machining services should both diversify and complement Hyduke's other divisions on a go-forward basis.''
