CALGARY, April 23, 2015 /CNW/ – Zaio Corporation (TSXV: ZAO) (the “Company” or “Zaio”), Valuation Vision LLC (“Valuation Vision”) and Axis Appraisal Management Solutions, Inc. (“Axis”) (collectively the “pro forma company”) continue to drive records with over US$3.7 million in pro forma revenue (unaudited) for March 2015.
“Ending Q1 with strong March pro forma revenue provides an excellent foundation for the rest of 2015,” said David King, President and CEO of Zaio Corporation. “While our current customers continue to increase order volume, we also can’t deny the fact that we’re seeing lift from over two dozen new sales and distribution contracts inked by the pro forma company through Q1. As those clients ramp up, they will continue to contribute to growth throughout the year. ”
“As conditions in the lending market continue to improve, the reduced lending risk is clearly resulting in an openness to adopt more cost-effective proprietary valuation solutions,” said Bill Mohler, Senior Vice President, Product and Marketing at Valuation Vision. “This enables clients to adopt our diverse product offering which provides improved gross margins versus traditional appraisal products.”
Additionally, the Company announced that it has granted an aggregate amount of 1,850,000 stock options to directors, officers, and consultants to the Company. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period of three years. The options granted will vest in equal instalments over a three-year term.
The Company also announced that it has provided Valuation Vision with a $250,000 secured short-term working capital loan to facilitate Valuation Vision’s growth.
