Sheldon Inwentash, Chairman and CEO of ThreeD, stated "While global markets continue to be unpredictable and volatile, ThreeD has seen promising signs with its investments in disruptive technologies and digital assets. During this past quarter, ThreeD benefited from its strategic investments in digital assets as the Company was able to realize strong gains on these investments. As we navigate through the current market conditions, the Company continues to be presented with opportunities that it believes will yield significant benefits in the months and years to come."
Additionally, ThreeD announces that Lynn Chapman, CPA, CA, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, is stepping down from his position with the Company. Mr. Chapman was appointed to the role of CFO in February 2021 through a service agreement between the Company and Lancaster Capital Advisory Corp. ("Lancaster"), a privately held corporation, of which Mr. Chapman is a director. Lancaster will continue its service agreement with the Company to provide accounting and corporate secretarial services.
ThreeD would like to thank Mr. Chapman for his contributions, leadership, and commitment to the Company while he was CFO and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
Pursuant to the services agreement with Lancaster, ThreeD has appointed Matthew Davis, CPA, as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company to replace Mr. Chapman's. Prior to his appointment as CFO, Mr. Davis was the Controller of the Company. Mr. Davis is a Chartered Professional Accountant of Canada (Alberta) with extensive experience in international business, corporate finance, accounting, and financial reporting. He graduated with honours from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting. Mr. Davis started his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Calgary, Canada where he worked as an auditor of both public and private companies. He currently serves as a director at Lancaster.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains references to "net asset value per share" ("NAV") which is a non-GAAP financial measure. NAV is calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as at a specific date. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no comparable GAAP financial measure presented in ThreeD's consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the measure provides information useful to its shareholders in understanding our performance, and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers.
