Tauriga Sciences Inc. Secures Requisite Additional Capital to Finance Auditor Engagement Through Completion of First Fiscal Quarter 2017 Audit; Period Ending June 30, 2016

By:

NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2016 /Weed Wire/ — Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTC PINK: TAUG) (“Tauriga” or the “Company”), a diversified life sciences technology Company, today announced that it has secured additional capital from an existing institutional investor in order to finance additional audit and interim reporting related work. By securing this additional tranche of capital, the Company approximates that it can finance its auditor engagement through the First Fiscal Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017 (“Q1 FY ’17”) or the Period ending June 30, 2016. Recall that the Company operates, from an accounting perspective, with a March 31 Fiscal Year End. The Company expects to file its Form 10Q (“Quarterly Report”) for the Third Fiscal Quarter 2016 (Period: October 1, 2015 - December 31, 2015) in the near term. Subsequent to that, the Company’s next filing will be its Form 10K (“Annual Report”) for the Fiscal Year End 2016 (Period Ending: March 31, 2016).

On July 12, 2016 the Company filed its Form 10Q (“Quarterly Report”) for the Second Fiscal Quarter 2016 (Period: July 1, 2015 - September 30, 2015). The Company continues to work diligently towards its corporate goal of regaining its status as a fully reporting U.S. public Company. The completion of this additional financing potentially expedites this process and enhances the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and negotiate with potential acquisition candidates. The Company became a delinquent filer and was delisted from the OTCQB Exchange on July 31, 2015 due to the malpractice committed by Cowan Gunteski & Co. P.A. (“Cowan Gunteski” or “Predecessor Audit Firm”) during Fiscal Year 2014 as well as Cowan’s subsequent conduct. The Company is fully prepared to continue its rigorous prosecution of its litigation against Cowan Gunteski regardless of the outcome of the pending motions regarding jurisdiction. Once there is more clarity on this issue, the Company will notify its shareholders via a press release. At this point in time, the Company is seeking monetary damages against Cowan Gunteski that exceed $4,000,000 USD and that number is expected to continually increase up until the Trial Date.

Tauriga’s CEO Seth M. Shaw expressed, “The Company is deeply appreciative that it has now secured the requisite capital to fully satisfy its auditors’ engagement agreement(s) through the period ending June 30, 2016. Once the Company regains fully reporting status, management believes that it can better capitalize on business opportunities that have the potential to enhance shareholder value.”
