Matachewan provides Q2 results Matachewan Consolidated Mines Ltd MATN Shares issued 12,445,025 2000-09-18 close $0.05 Friday Sep 22 2000 Company Review Mr. R.D. McCloskey reports Operations For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the company has recorded net earnings of $45,122 compared with a net earnings of $365,317 for the same period in 1999. The lower earnings are the result of a non-recurring profit from the sale of marketable securities in 1999. Comparative figures Certain of the 1999 figures presented for comparative purposes have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Y2K issue The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when information using 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than a date. Although the change in date has occurred and to date the company no difficulties, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of the Year 2000 issue that may effect the company, included those related to customers, suppliers or other third parties, have been fully resolved.
