Sherwood Park, Alberta / ACCESSWIRE / January 16, 2015 / Virtutone Networks Inc. ("Virtutone" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: VFX.V) today announces that one of its biggest clients based in London, England, has not been able to make payments of a total amount of $USD13.8M to the Company. Virtutone's management has taken all the necessary steps in order to get payment but so far to no avail. Considering the importance of the amount involved, Virtutone had no other alternatives than to reduce costs to the minimal as well as to lay off all staff, excluding Jason Allen, CEO, as well as William N. Woods, CFO, and is now suspending operations to concentrate all efforts on obtaining payment.

The outcome of these efforts being uncertain, there is no guarantee that Virtutone will be able to resume operations. Virtutone's management is currently undergoing a strategic review of available its options and recourses in light of the current circumstances.

The Company's management will provide further updates as to progress of the situation and actions to be taken.

For further information please contact Jason Allen at 780-702-5777.

This document may contain certain forward-looking information or statements ("Forward-looking statements") as defined under applicable securities legislation that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. These risks include, without limitation, risks related to: the termination, non-renewal of or default under of any current or new wholesale contracts; changes in the global economy; a failure to negotiate new customer contracts; changes in legislation or the interpretation thereof, particularly in the telecommunications industry. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact. The use of any "plan" "expect " "project" "believe" "should" "anticipate" or other similar words or statements that certain events "may" or "will" occur are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, forward-looking statements included in the press release include, without limitation, statements regarding: the impact of the new voice traffic contracts; timing and completion of the transition of new voice traffic; the sustainability of the new revenue stream; increased leverage with suppliers; additional deals currently being worked on and the impact thereof; and negotiations relating to potential new customers. The forward-looking-statements contained herein are based on certain assumptions including, without limitation, assumptions regarding: global economic conditions; changes in laws and regulations; the impact of Virtutone's new contracts; the market for wholesale telephony services; the maintenance of new and current wholesale contracts; and the ability to add new wholesale clients. Although management believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated in forward-looking statements will occur, or, if they do, what benefits Virtutone will derive therefrom.

Virtutone assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. The historical revenue numbers for the new wholesale contracts do not represent estimates of future revenues to be received by the Company. As these contracts do not contain any minimum traffic requirements, revenue generated on such contracts will vary from month to month, and such variations may be material.
