The company is experiencing delays in completing the year-end audit and required documents. The company's auditor, Manning Ellitt LLP, has advised the company that it requires additional time to complete its remaining audit and quality procedures, including obtaining audit confirmations that have been delayed due to the holiday season. The company is making an application to the applicable securities regulatory authorities under National Policy 12-203 requesting that a management cease trade order (MCTO) be imposed for the duration of the default. The company and its auditor are working diligently to finalize the financial statements and expect to file the financial statements no later than Jan. 15, 2026. The company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under National Policy 12-203 by issuing biweekly default status reports in the form of news releases so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements set out above.
