(TheNewswire)
Montréal – TheNewswire -September 22, 2022 – ZeU Technologies, Inc. (CSE:ZEU) (OTC:ZEUCF) would like to inform its shareholders that it has posted its Audited Financials Statements for the 15 month period ended March 31, 2022 and the prior year ended December 31, 2020, and the corresponding Management Discussion & Analysis on SEDAR.
ZeU is also providing an update to its previously disclosed Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”), initially announced on August 2, 2022, in respect of the interim Financial Statements and corresponding Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the period ended June 30, 2022, including the related Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certifications (collectively, the “Financial Documents”) that were not filed by the filing deadline of August 29, 2022.
The Corporation has applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities and received a Management Cease Trade Order (“MCTO”) imposed against the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Corporation, precluding them from trading securities of the Corporation. The MCTO will be in effect until the Financial Documents are filed and requires that the Financial Documents be filed on or before September 30, 2022.
ZeU Management aims to release the Interim Financial Documents pertaining to the 1st Quarter of its 2022 financial year, covering the period of April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 by the end of this month.
ZeU as a going concern
Since the withdrawal of the proposed transaction with a Chinese entity in August 2018, Management has been forced to operate with limited capabilities. From having to define from scratch, finance and develop a new business model to the upcoming deployment of some of its products, the Company has been limited in its capacity to conclude acquisitions and see to its financing needs due to the existence of a significant debt related and inherited from the proposed founding transaction.
In order to mitigate that issue Management expects to restructure the Company’s debt and the business silos in the coming weeks. Debt renegotiations shall occur with the parties willing to collaborate on a more permanent solution and certain businesses are expected to be let go. This exercise will be done with the shareholders interests in mind and should allow the Company to grow without financial or legal threats to its existence.
More information should be available for disclosure in the coming weeks.

Also, unrealized losses on digital assets of $147,845 (September 2020) $15,309,139 (June 2020), and other quarter in early 2020 of $487,241were offset by a gain of $9,062,829 in the last quarter of 2020.
In 2020, the Company impaired the value of its Kamari tokens as there was no longer an objective market value for the tokens, except for the right to repay its Kamari debt at a mark to market price.
