Classification of Recolor Oy out held for sale and discontinued operations
The Company was not able to complete the divestiture of Company-owned assets such as shares of Recolor Oy in the past twelve months after best efforts by the management. In addition, the recent restructure of the Company’s main operating subsidiary also hinders the Company’s ability to continue to pursue the divestiture. Therefore, the associated assets and liabilities and the net income within Recolor Oy, previously presented as held for sale and attributable as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements, have been classified back to normal continuing operations.
Additional Financial Details & Announcements (Subsequent to Fiscal Year End):
Subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company received the following additional financing and made the following announcements.
Private Placement
The Company closed a private place on July 19, 2021 with two existing shareholders of the Company. The Company issued €250,000 debentures with 90-day maturity at annual 12% interest and 2,500,000 warrants with C$0.10 exercise price and two-year maturity.
Restructuring of Kuuhubb Oy
In September 2021, Kuu Hubb Oy had applied to undertake Finnish restructuring proceedings under the jurisdiction of the District Court of Helsinki, in Finland. The debt restructuring process of Kuu Hubb Oy in accordance with the Finnish Restructuring of Enterprises Act (25.1.1993/47 “REA”) has been initiated by a decision of the District Court of Helsinki on 7 September 2021. The detailed restructuring plan is still yet to be finalized and approved by the court.
CEO’s Message
Jouni Keränen, CEO of Kuuhubb Inc., commented, “Fiscal year 2021 was a challenged year for Kuuhubb. Kuuhubb’s Finnish subsidiary Kuu Hubb Oy, lost its arbitration court case in August 2020 which caused fiscal pressure throughout the year and culminated in the restructuring process of Kuu Hubb Oy in September 2021. This process became a necessity to ensure company can continue the development and launch of its story-based Match-3 game engine and flagship game Tiles & Tales. At the same time the planned divestment of Recolor became very difficult due to ongoing FTC investigation even with the resulting settlement in June 2021. Despite the difficulties, I am very proud of all our talented and hardworking people who have continued to operate and improve our products with the utmost dedication in providing the best possible experience for our customers. This belief is visible in the high quality of Recolor and Tiles & Tales and should eventually result in us turning the corner and returning to growth. I am confident that we will get through the restructuring process and emerge as a leaner, stronger company with continued focus on creating high-quality long-lasting digital entertainment properties for the global audience.”
