VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2021 / Orchid Ventures, Inc. (the "Company" or "Orchid") (CSE:ORCD)(OTC PINK:ORVRF) announces that its annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021, including the related management discussion and analysis, and CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "Annual Financial Filings") were not filed by the required filing deadline of October 28, 2021 (the "Filing Deadline").

The Annual Financial Filings were not filed on or before the Filing Deadline due to the nature of business of the Company, location of the Company's subsidiaries and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has been advised by its auditors, DMCL LLP, that they need more time to complete the audit.

The Company is working on the steps required to complete the Annual Financial Filings and is required to file the Annual Financial Filings by December 27, 2021. The Company currently expects that it will be in position to file on or prior to November 5, 2021. The Company will provide updates as further information relating to the Annual Financial Filings becomes available.

The Company has applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities and received a management cease trade order ("MCTO") imposed against the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company precluding them from trading securities of the Company. The MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Financial Filings are filed, and requires that the Annual Financial Filings be filed on or before December 27, 2021.

Until the Annual Financial Filings are filed, the Company intends to issue bi-weekly default status reports in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders. The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines during the period it remains in default of the filing requirements.
