Acadian Energy Files Audited Financial Statements for Year End 2010, and Unaudited Financial Statements for Quarter 1, and Qu...

Acadian Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ACX) -- (the "Corporation") today announced the filing of financial statements for the following periods and the intention to file applications with the OSC and TSX Venture Exchange to rescind the cease trade order and suspension from trading imposed due to the non-filing of these statements. The Company filed audited statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 for the prior company called Acadian Energy Holdings Inc., and unaudited financial statements for the interim 3 and 6 month periods ending March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 for Acadian Energy Inc.

These results have been filed in IFRS with the year over year comparisons also in IFRS.

The delay in the filings resulted from the Qualifying Transaction the Company undertook between the previous public company York Ridge Lifetech Inc., and Acadian Energy Holdings Inc., on March 16, 2011. At that time, the Company had filed documents intending to use York Ridge's year end of August 30, 2011, but was subsequently informed that because the QT was considered a reverse takeover, the December 31, 2010 year end of Acadian Energy Holdings Inc. was required to be used. Management has spent the recent time to conduct the audit (prior to the period initially planned for), and the IFRS statements, and year earlier comparisons, for the new periods.

The Company is now on schedule to subsequently file its September 30, 2011 quarter end well before the end of November.

The filings and appropriate Management Discussion and Analysis are available on www. sedar.com.

Additional Company information is also obtainable on the Company's newly designed web site www.acadianenergy.com
