VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Luxor Industrial Corporation (“Luxor” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:LRL) (OTC:LXRRF) announces that its senior secured lender has engaged a non-court appointed monitor to review the Company's finances and operations on its behalf. The Company has consented to the appointment.
Luxor also announces that Gary Liu and Amanda Mo have resigned as directors of the Company.
To date, Luxor has been unsuccessful in its attempt to restructure its finances as its current debt and working capital deficiency exceed the combined realizable value of its assets and expected profit margins from its existing contracts. The working capital deficiency was primarily caused by unrecoverable cost overruns on one major contract that accounted for over 40 percent of sales in 2016.
The Company is continuing operations in the short-term to deliver product under existing contracts.
The board will provide updates as events unfold.
On behalf of the Board:
Terry Lashman, Chief Executive Officer and Director
Luxor Industrial Corporation
