TORONTO, July 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Captor Capital Corp. (CSE: CPTR) (OTCQX:CPTRF) (“Captor” or the “Company”) reports that it expects to be late in filing its audited financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended March 31, 2019 (the “Annual Financial Filings”). Although the Company’s audit is progressing to completion, the Company’s auditors are still reviewing the application of certain accounting standards with respect to the treatment of its investments. The Company was informed on July 26, 2019 that this issue will result in a delay in completing the audit. The issue in contention is related to the accounting for the investee companies and do not impact the actual revenues and cash flows of the investee companies. Captor has been working diligently with its auditors to seek a resolution to permit the audit to be completed as quickly as possible. Until resolution is reached, it will not be possible to complete the audit of the 2019 annual financial statements.
Captor has made an application for a management cease trade order and intends to follow the alternate information guidelines contained in National Policy 12-203 for so long as it has not filed the Annual Financial Filings. Captor expects to resolve these technical issues quickly so that it can file its 2019 financial statements as soon as possible, and in any event by August 31, 2019.
