Axios Provides Default Status Report and Announces Resignation of Director


/EINPresswire.com/ -- MISSISSAUGA, ON -- (Marketwired) -- 04/29/16 -- Axios Mobile Assets Corp. (TSX VENTURE: AXA) ("Axios" or the "Company") is providing this bi-weekly default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 respecting Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"). On April 5, 2016, the Company announced (the "Default Announcement") that it has identified certain errors in the financial statements previously filed for the periods ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 as well as the disclosure contained in its associated management's discussion and analysis for such periods and that, as a result, it would be restating such filings together with the accompanying CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "Required Filings").

As a result of this delay in the filing of the Required Filings, the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") granted a management cease trade order (the "MCTO") on April 27, 2016 against the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, as opposed to a general cease trade order against the Company. The MCTO prohibits all trading in securities of the Company, whether directly or indirectly, by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Financial Officer. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade their securities. However, the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could determine, in their discretion, that it would be appropriate to issue a general cease trade order against the Company affecting all of the securities of the Company.

The Company's Board of Directors and management confirm that they are working expeditiously to file the Required Filings and that they anticipate that these will be filed on or about May 3, 2016.

Pursuant to the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203, the Company reports that since the Company's press release dated April 18, 2016:

  • The Company is continuing to work expeditiously in order to complete the restatement of the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the applicable periods. This work involves correcting the errors identified in the Company's press releases dated April 5, 2016 and April 18, 2016 as well as assessing the potential impact of year-end audit adjustments on the periods ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015;

  • The Company's audited financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2015 are near completion but for confirmation of certain information from the Required Filings. It is anticipated that the audited financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2015 will be filed concurrently with the Required Filings;

  • There have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative reporting guidelines;

  • There has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the Default Announcement other than the associated delay in filing the audited financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2015; and

  • There is no other material information respecting the Company's affairs that has not been generally disclosed.

Until the Required Filings have been filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR. The Company will file, to the extent applicable, its next default status report on or about May 13, 2016.

Should the Company fail to file the Required Filings by June 6, 2016, fail to provide bi-weekly status reports in accordance with NP 12-203 or have a further default, the OSC can impose a cease trade order on Axios, such that all trading in securities of the Company cease for such period as the OSC may deem appropriate.
