Frisco, Texas, Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Verde Bio Holdings, Inc.

In the Company’s desire to maintain transparency, the Company is announcing that it will not be able to file the 10-K by the due date afforded under the Extension filed July 29, 2021.

“While the Company is disappointed in the timing, we need to make sure we are compliant in our accounting and filings,” said Scott A. Cox, Verde CEO.
"To date, the Company has completed sixteen significant acquisitions; ten of those in the fourth quarter," said Mr. Cox. "These transformative additions have greatly expanded our capabilities and revenue base but have also added to the complexity of our financial accounting and reporting, as we are now subject to full SEC oil and gas accounting rules. These rules include reserve reporting, estimation of revenues in suspense, impairment Ceiling Tests and full SMOG Disclosures. Our accounting and audit groups are working to complete all remaining matters and expect to file our Form 10-K as soon as practically possible."
