Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2018) - Smartcool Systems Inc. (TSX.V: SSC) (OTC Pink: SSCFF) (FSE: R3W) ("Smartcool" or the "Company") recently closed the acquisition of Total Energy Concepts Inc. ("TEC"). (See News Release dated August 28, 2018). Due to the length of time it took to get final corporate documentation and approval on closing of the TEC acquisition the company was unable to complete its financials on time and on September 5, 2018 a cease trade order was issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission for failing to file its interim financials for the period ending June 30, 2018.
