Financial Updates:

VinCompass® continues to focus raising capital to support the company’s investments and growth plans. During the period ending August 31, 2017, a total of $39,500 was secured from third parties. Additionally the Company had stock based compensation of $22,500 for the period ending August 31, 2017.

The VinCompass’s operating plan proposes a minimum capital injection of $1,000,000 for the year ending February 2018, and is also evaluating all equity and debt financing options; and/or a registration statement for up to $5,000,000. The Company has continued to advance discussions and negotiations with various third-party Family Offices, Financial Institutions and Private Individuals. We expect to close additional capital funds for operations prior to the end of the period ending November 30, 2017 or as a subsequent event prior to our filing.  These funds would support operating expenses and accelerate monetization across all products.  While the Company is not pleased with the stock performance or the higher than expected dilution from the Convertible Notes, we are working to improve the situation and the additional capital will accelerate the Company’s milestones and ultimately monetization. 

VinCompass® plans to participate in multiple financial events over the next 12 months in order to increase investor awareness and to provide more updates on the business and monetization plans. The Company has also received request from various individuals and in compliance with SEC disclosure requirements will not respond individually, but respond rather via the Company’s FAQ in the Investor Relations section (http://www.vincompass.com/investor_relations).  Those request and any new ones will be reviewed and respond periodically based on various compliance and disclosure requirements of the Company.
