MCW Energy Group Refiles Financial Statements and MD&A

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 4, 2013) - MCW Energy Group (TSX-V: MCW) (MCW.V) ("MCW"), a Canadian holding company involved in fuel distribution and the creation of oil sands extraction technology, announced today that it has refiled certain previously filed financial statements and management discussion and analysis ("MD&A").

During the three months ended May 31, 2013, MCW changed the software which it uses for accounting for its fuel operations. Following that change, MCW identified a major difference between the new and old software which results in the excise taxes and environmental fees charged to MCW by its suppliers being excluded from cost of goods sold and the excise taxes and environmental fees collected by MCW from customers being excluded from net revenue.

MCW, as reported in the press release of August 2, 2013, initially concluded that the old software that MCW had previously used was not in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards and expected to amend and refile its financial statements and MD&A for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2013, as well as for the years ended August 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Following an extensive review of revenue and cost recognition policies under International Financial Reporting Standards, MCW concluded that the only revision which is, in fact, required would be to the previously filed condensed consolidated interim financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, in which the excise taxes and environmental fees received from customers and the identical amounts charged by its suppliers were both excluded from reported revenues and cost of sales in the financial statements and MD&A.

The effect of these changes on the previously reported condensed consolidated interim financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 resulted in both the previously reported net revenue and cost of goods sold being increased by identical amounts, to include the excise taxes and environmental fees collected by MCW from customers and amounts charged to MCW by its suppliers. These amounts are identical increases in net revenues and cost of goods of $46,779,932 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013, $36,877,522 for the nine months ended May 31, 2012, $16,714,410 for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and $12,856,396 for the three months ended May 31, 2012. These changes do not affected MCW's previously reported gross profit from fuel operations and the results of operations.
