Tauriga Sciences, Inc. Obtains its Audit Work Papers for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014; Company Targeting the Summer of 2016 to Regain Fully Reporting Status

Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTC PINK: TAUG) (“Tauriga” or the “Company”), a diversified life sciences technology Company, today announced that the Company has finally obtained its audit work papers for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. Due to the PCAOB’s public censure on July 23, 2015 of the Company’s predecessor audit firm, Cowan Gunteski & Co. P.A. (“Cowan Gunteski”) (https://pcaobus.org/Enforcement/Decisions/Documents/Cowan.pdf), the Company has been forced to re-audit its financial statements pertaining to Fiscal Year 2014 (ending March 31, 2014). The Company had been requesting these work papers from Cowan Gunteski since the middle of June 2015, coinciding with the engagement of its new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s requests for its work papers were repeatedly ignored by Cowan Gunteski, but as the result of the recent mediation between the Company and Cowan Gunteski, these work papers were formally returned to the Company on Monday March 7, 2016.

By obtaining these work papers, the Company’s goal is that by Fiscal Year end March 31, 2016 (“FY 2016”) Form 10-K due date (which is on or before June 30, 2016), it can file all of its delinquent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company is confident that once it regains its fully reporting status, it can petition OTC Markets to up-list its shares to the OTCQB exchange (“OTCQB”); the Company shares currently trade on the OTC Pink Limited Information Tier (“Pink Sheets”). However, it must be mentioned to shareholders that the OTC Markets cannot waiver the minimum 1 cent bid price requirement which stipulates a 30 day trading period during which shares of a public company must close at a bare minimum of 1 cent per share uninterrupted during that period.

Tauriga would be required to either build its Company fundamentals sufficiently that fair market value would exceed 1 cent per share organically or alternatively enact a corporate action known as a reverse split of its common stock (“Reverse”). The Company is focused solely at this time on building its fundamental/intrinsic value and creating shareholders value through execution and strong performance. However, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a Reverse as a last resort strategy to regain compliance with the OTC Market’s minimum bid price requirement. The Company views an uplisting as an important milestone, as it would enable the Company to once again seek financial support and investment from a broad array of institutional investors.

The Company is currently in discussions with several potential acquisition targets, all of whom would require Tauriga to regain its status as a fully reporting entity with the SEC. The Company has not ruled out the possibility of entering into a binding agreement with a potential acquisition target; however one critical condition must be met. Tauriga’s Board of Directors has mandated that any such binding agreement must incorporate a closing period clause of “up to 500 calendar days.” This should provide Tauriga with sufficient time to complete the prosecution of its lawsuit against Cowan Gunteski, which was filed on November 4, 2015 in Federal District Court in the Southern District Florida. The Company is confident in its ability to win a substantial monetary award should the case not settle prior to the commencement of such trial.

Tauriga’s CEO Mr. Seth M. Shaw expressed, “The Company is pleased to have finally obtained its audit work papers. Nonetheless the Company will work as quickly as possible to file all of its required delinquent SEC filings and is hopeful for an uplisting on the OTCQB exchange. I wish to make it clear to shareholders that we intend to hold Cowan Gunteski fully responsible for the damages incurred by the Company and its shareholders.”
