NorthStar Gaming Holdings (TSXV: BET) (OTCQB: NSBBF) has received a management cease trade order (MCTO) from the Ontario Securities Commission on May 8, 2025. The MCTO was requested due to a delay in filing their annual financial statements for 2024, which were due on April 30, 2025.
The delay stems from the need to restate certain financial amounts from 2023, specifically related to payment service provider fees and player loyalty bonuses. The company discovered that its payment processor had deducted additional merchant fees from daily remittances that weren't properly accounted for, leading to understated service provider fees and overstated accounts receivable.
NorthStar expects to file the required documents by May 15, 2025. The MCTO restricts only the CEO and CFO from trading company securities, while other shareholders can continue trading normally.
NorthStar Gaming has announced a delay in filing its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The company will miss the April 30, 2025 deadline and expects to file by May 15, 2025.
The delay stems from an audit issue involving payment service providers' fees. The company discovered that its payment processor had deducted additional merchant fees from daily remittances without proper documentation, identified during year-end reconciliation. This requires a restatement of certain amounts from the previous fiscal year.
As a result, NorthStar is applying for a Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) from the Ontario Securities Commission. If granted, this would restrict trading by company officers and directors but not affect general public trading. If denied, a broader cease trade order could halt all trading on the TSX Venture Exchange.
