TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwired - Jan. 29, 2016) - MCW Energy Group Limited ("MCW") (TSX VENTURE:MCW)(OTCQX:MCWEF), a Canadian holding company involved in the development of environmentally-friendly oil sands technologies and the production of oil from Utah's vast oil sands deposits, announces the refilling of its annual Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") dated December 29, 2015, related to the annual consolidated financial statements of MCW for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. During the final post-filing quality control check conducted by MCW on the MD&A, MCW noted the following discrepancies: (i) On page 13 in the table of quarterly results, the net loss of $639,631 reported for the quarter ended August 31, 2015 should have been $814,631, as a late adjustment was inadvertently omitted when calculating this loss; (ii) On page 14 under the caption "Operating Expenses", the discussion of the change in operating expenses between the quarters ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014 has been amended to indicate that the operating expenses had decreased, not increased, during the quarter ended August 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended August 31, 2014 and the previous comment "(b) No losses similar to the one-time loss of $566,322 on the settlement of long-term liabilities on the issuance of common shares during the quarter ended August 31, 2014 recurring" has been deleted as the one-time loss of $566,322 occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2014. These discrepancies have been corrected in the amended MD&A for the year ended August 31, 2015 refiled on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) today.
