EDMONTON,
Aug. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - The Cash Store
Australia Holdings Inc. ("Cash Store Australia" or the "Company")
(TSXV:AUC) today announced that it is not able to raise additional
funding required. Changes in the Australian regulatory
environment over the past number of months and the Company's
continuing losses have materially impacted its ability to source
the capital.
The inability to raise capital will materially
impact the continuing operations of the Company and will affect its
ability to meet its obligations in the future. The Company's
operating subsidiary will not be making any further retention
payments to its third party lender.
The Company will not be filing audited
consolidated financial statements, management's discussion and
analysis or a management information circular for the year ended
June 30, 2013 prior to the date they
are required to be filed. As a result, the cease trade order
issued by The Alberta Securities Commission on December 4, 2012 will continue until such time as
the Company is able to bring its required regulatory filings into
good standing.
