Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - January 13, 2022) - Sprout AI Inc. (CSE: BYFM) ("Sprout AI" or the "Company") announces that it has changed its year-end to February 28^th from its current fiscal year-end of November 30th. As a result, the Company will report audited financial statements for a 15-month transitional fiscal year from Nov 30th, 2021 to February 28^th, 2022 with a comparative of the 12 months' audited financial results from December 1st, 2019 to Nov 30th, 2020. Afterwards, the Company will revert to a customary quarterly reporting calendar based on February 28^th year-end with fiscal quarters ending on the last day of May, August, November, and February of each year.

This decision was made in part to minimize costs and the risk of having late filings due to auditor time constraints. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic, audit firms have been strapped for resources, thus the company has chosen in favor of moving the year-end two months past the busiest time of year for auditors.

According to Chris Bolton, CEO for Sprout AI, "The decision to amend our year-end makes sense from both a business function and financial standpoint as we will avoid incurring additional costs due to time-constrained auditing. This will allow us to keep every dollar working towards the growth of Sprout AI."
