TORONTO, March 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Banxa Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BNXA) (OTCQX: BNXAF) (FSE: AC00) ("Banxa'' or the "Company"), the leading on-and-off ramp solution for Web3, announces today an update on the progress of the ongoing audit process for its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The Company is pleased to report that it has confirmation from RSM Canada that the process will be finalised by 5th April 2023 ET.

​​The interim financial statements for Q1 (Sep-2022) and Q2 (Dec-2022) for fiscal year ending 2023 will be lodged shortly thereafter.

Following the completion of the audit and the submission of the outstanding annual and interim financial statements, the Company will apply to the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) for a revocation of the failure-to-file cease trade order (the “FFCTO”) that has been in effect since November 3, 2022. Once the revocation order is granted, the Company will contact the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) regarding the resumption of trading of the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”).

Despite the challenges posed by the evolving regulatory landscape, of which Banxa remains at the forefront of now more than ever, Banxa’s day to day business operations have not been affected and the business continues to make significant advancements in its product development and execution of key partnerships, which are having a positive financial flow-on effect. The Company will provide a detailed general business update via an investor webinar once the aforementioned financial matters have been finalised.

Finally, the Company confirms that it has no exposure to Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank, and only had exposure of USD$110,000 for operational reasons with Silvergate Bank that recently decided to close its operations last week, and the Company expects to receive 100% of its monies due to them being fully insured by FDIC.
