● Delay in filing the result of auditors requiring more time than expected to verify fair value of 2018 acquisitions including third party valuations on certain investments.
● Annual Financial Materials will be filed on or before August 16, 2019.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (August 7 th , 2019) – Victory Square Technologies Inc. (CSE: VST, OTC: VSQTF, FWB: 6F6) (“Victory Square” or the “Company”) announces that a failure-to-file cease trade order in Canada was issued as a result of the delay in the filing of its annual audited financial statements, management discussion and analysis and related certifications for the year-ended December 31st, 2018 (the “Annual Financial Materials”).
The Company intends to immediately rectify the issue and file the Annual Financial Materials on or before August 16th , 2019. Given the nature and scope of a number of acquisitions of private companies and investments in others during the fiscal year ended December 31st , 2018, the Victory Square audit required more time than expected to verify the fair value of such investments/acquisitions, including requiring third party valuations on certain investments. “We of course regret this unnecessary delay in filing and we intend to rectify this as soon as possible,” said Shafin Diamond Tejani, CEO of Victory Square. “We plan on taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen our financial controls and measures going forward, especially given the aggressive campaign of acquisitions and investments that we completed in 2018. The net benefit will be increased value to Victory Square shareholders moving forward.”
Management will emerge from this with a series of important administrative changes to improve financial reporting and allow the Company to successfully implement its growth strategy in 2019 and the future. “During the first half of 2019, Victory Square portfolio companies achieved significant milestones in terms of revenue growth, product development, and customer acquisition led by the strong performances of select portfolio companies such as Immersive Technologies, V2 Games, FansUnite, Grow Tech Labs, CoPilot Advisor, Taloflow.ai, and Multapplied Networks,” explained Tejani. “We are focused on converting these strong performances into increased shareholder value in the second half of the year.” For more on Victory Square, visit VictorySquare.com and sign up to the official newsletter of VST.
