November 29 2019 - 10:30PM
betterU Education Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BTRU) (FRANKFURT:5OGA), (the
"Company" or "betterU") announced today it has filed its financial
results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. betterU is a
Global Education Marketplace for emerging markets. The Company
aggregates education, educational services and employment services
from quality Institutions including universities, colleges,
Industry leaders and corporations from around the world and makes
their programs available to students through the betterU
marketplace. betterU has now over 20,000 programs available.
Highlights for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 include:
- For the quarter ended September 30,
2019, the Company reported revenues of $400, and a net loss of
$496,680. Majority focus of the company quickly turned to
addressing the unexpected resignation of the auditor, which pulled
all other focus away from business development.
- On July 3, 2019, the Company
announced the closing of its non-brokered private placement to
raise up to a maximum of $500,000 through the issuance of
10,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit previously announced
May 18 and June 4, 2019. The private placement was fully
subscribed.
- On July 25, 2019, the Company
announced that its annual financial statements, the related
management’s discussion and analysis and the related officer
certifications for the financial year ended March 31, 2019
(collectively, the “Annual Filings”) will be delayed beyond the
filing deadline of July 29, 2019. The Company has applied to the
Ontario Securities Commission for a management cease trade order
(the “MCTO”), however there is no guarantee that one will be
issued.
- The reason for the default in
filing the Annual Filings prior to the required deadline is that
the Company’s Auditors, Welch LLP, resigned as auditors effective
July 12, 2019 unexpectedly.
- On July 26, 2019, the Company
announced as part of ongoing efforts to reduce the Company’s debt
and operational liabilities that its board of directors has
approved the settlement of $125,000 of debt through the issuance of
common shares of the Company (the "Debt Settlement"). Pursuant to
the Debt Settlement, the Company would issue up to 1,388,888 Units
at a deemed price of $0.09 per Unit to certain creditors of the
Company (the “Creditors”). None of the Creditors are Non-Arm’s
Length Parties to the Company.
- On August 2, 2019 the Company
announced that after review of multiple proposals, the Company had
approved and executed on an agreement with BDO Canada LLP as their
new auditors to support not only the Company’s annual financial
audit for the financial year ended March 31, 2019 but also ongoing
advisory services and as a long-term partner.
- On October 3, 2019 the Company
announced they had requested an extension of the MCTO to October
18, 2019. The Corporation was advised by the Ontario Securities
Commission (“OSC”) that an extension of the MCTO would not be
granted. A Full and Final Cease Trade Order (“FFCTO”) was issued by
the OSC. It was expected that the FFCTO would be lifted once all
outstanding audited financial documents were filed. During the
FFCTO, the general investing public was not able to trade in the
Company’s listed common shares. The FFCTO was lifted as of
October 23rd, however the Company continues to work with the TSXV
to reinstate trading.
Outlook:
- On October 28, 2019 after internal reviews, the Company
announced a significant pivot leveraging all that they have built
over the years to the implementation of their newly developed
software as a service (SAAS) Enterprise skilling program (Skill,
Reskill Upskill) focused on providing employers with a simple
solution that supports more effective skilling solutions and
addresses most of the complexities faced by corporations
globally.
- betterU is currently working with many global corporations that
have expressed interest in the new SAAS Enterprise skill program.
The SAAS program is being announced Dec 6th 2019 in Delhi as
betterU’s CEO is part of a leadership summit with other speakers
such as the Prime Minister of India, CEO of Netflix and more.
