Financing Update
Middletown, R.I. - Vectrix Corporation (AIM: VRX) (www.vectrix.com), maker of
the world's first high performance, two-wheel zero emission vehicle (ZEV),
announces an update to its RNA of 22 January 2009. On that date, the Company
described the efforts underway to secure new funding for operations. While those
efforts are continuing, the Company currently is unlikely to complete a fund
raising by the end of March as targeted. The Company is engaged in discussions
with existing shareholders and other interested parties for temporary financing
to provide required working capital beyond the March time frame, while
continuing to seek out additional equity capital. The Company is also engaged in
efforts to secure Government based loan or grant support to gain access to
working capital. If we are unable to complete temporary financing and or new
equity capital, the Directors will seek other strategic alternatives which could
include a merger or sale of the business. In addition the Company may not be
able to publish its fiscal 2008 annual accounts to shareholders by 31 March 2008
as required by the AIM rules. The Company will provide updates to the market as
we progress through these activities.
As was stated in its 22 January 2009 RNA, the Company continues to expect year
over year growth in its 1st half FY2009 versus 1st Half FY2008 as a result of an
increase in points of sale and dealer indications relative to spring product
orders. We continue to see growth in our distribution network and expect to end
the 1st Half with over 200 points of sale worldwide. We have begun delivery of
our new VX1E in this month and the new VX2 product remains on schedule for
deliveries in June of this year. We believe that our business strategy and
execution remains sound and as we move into the spring selling season we expect
to see sales acceleration in the 2nd Half of FY2009.
