The Company intends to hold its next annual general meeting by no later than October 8, 2026.As of March 31, 2026, the date of its most recently available financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,630,223. The Company is actively exploring avenues to resolve its working capital deficiency including, without limitation, additional equity based offerings or other financing opportunities.The Company inadvertently recorded a subscription liability of $1,250,200 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, in relation to its non-brokered private placement of units, which closed in tranches on January 23, 2026, February 3, 2026 and March 19, 2026. As all subscription funds were received and all corresponding securities were issued on or before March 19, 2026, the proceeds should have been presented within shareholders’ equity, and the subscription liability was recorded in error. The correction from the error reclassifies $1,250,200 from liabilities to equity, reducing the Company’s working capital deficiency at March 31, 2026 from $4,630,223 as noted in its financial statements to $3,380,023; however total assets and cash are unaffected. The Company will correct the presentation in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026, and, as applicable, in accordance with the prior period error disclosures required by IAS 8 when the comparative information is next presented.The Company has also implemented a new financial control and reporting plan to ensure enhanced compliance with financial reporting requirements which includes structured preparation and review protocols for its financial reports including specified review procedures by management and board, and improved organization and communication protocols to ensure all members of its financial reporting team are kept informed on all material transactions. The Company believes that the implementation of this new plan will reduce the risk of future errors in financial reporting. The Company also intends to seek to add additional members to its financial reporting team and audit committee following resumption of trading when appropriate candidates are identified.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Additionally, the Company previously engaged Independent Trading Group (ITG), Inc.
