The Company is currently subject to a cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on June 22, 2020, as a result in the delay in filing its audited annual financial statements, management discussion and analysis and related certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2019 and interim financial statements, management discussion and analysis and related certifications for the interim period ended March 31, 2020. The delay in filing was a result of a lack of financial resources, which resulted in the mass resignation of the members of the previous board of directors and management. A third party has advanced funds to the Company's auditors for the purposed of completing the audited financial statements for the Company's last financial year end. The Company expects to be in a position to file all the required financial statements, related management discussion and analysis and certifications by September 21, 2020. New management intends to rectify the deficiencies with a view to revoking the cease trade order.

Assuming management is able to remedy the deficiencies, it would then commence a review of strategic alternatives with a view to enhancing shareholder value. There can be no assurance that the strategic alternatives review process will result in the identification of a suitable transaction for the Company.
