TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 12, 2015) - PhosCan Chemical Corp. (TSX:FOS) today released its quarterly results for the period ended April 30, 2015.

PhosCan reported a net loss of $668 thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2015 compared to a net loss of $172 thousand for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Professional and legal fees were significantly higher to support increased business development activities. In particular the Company engaged in negotiations for a potential investment, which ceased during the due diligence process. Interest income was down due to lower interest rates and investment balances. On the plus side salaries and share based payments were lower in the three month period. The remaining expenses were generally in line with prior year periods.

Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities were $54.6 million at April 30, 2015 versus $55.0 million at January 31, 2015 and working capital was $54.1 million versus $54.9 million. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to administration expenses of $703 thousand, the repurchase of common shares of $273 thousand, and expenditures on the Martison Project of $61 thousand, net of interest income of $156 thousand and net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities of $65 thousand.
