Chairman and CEO Jeremy Frommer shared insights, stating, "First and foremost, I want to apologize for the delayed financial filings. Unfortunately, our ambitious timeline outweighs available resources and it is important to meticulously prepare prior to any attempt at an uplisting to a national exchange. We anticipate the release of our 10-K report in mid-May 2024, promptly followed by Q1 financial filings. The necessary delay is a direct result of our in-depth audit process, aimed at fortifying Creatd's balance sheet. This step underscores our dedication to transparency and maintaining a robust financial foundation. Despite the challenges presented by the current economic climate, I am extremely encouraged by our performance and the resilience we have demonstrated."
Frommer added, "Looking ahead, our focus will pivot to strategic acquisitions, enhancing net equity, bolstering our cash reserves, and achieving what I have said before uplisting to a national exchange. These initiatives are critical for our continued success in the upcoming year. I extend my deepest gratitude to our investors for their steadfast support. We eagerly anticipate discussing our progress and outlook in a forthcoming conference call later this month."
