CALGARY, AB, Dec. 29, 2020 /CNW/ - Top Strike Resources Corp. d.b.a. "Vencanna Ventures" (the "Corporation" or "Vencanna") (CSE: VENI) (OTCQB: TPPRF) is pleased to provide a summary of its financial results as of October 31, 2020. Selected financial information is outlined below and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three ended October 31, 2020, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Financial Highlights

The following table summarizes key financial highlights associated with the Corporation's financial performance for the last eight quarters.

As of the date hereof, a major portion of the Corporation's business was derived from material ancillary involvement in US cannabis-related activities. As at October 31, 2020, 66% of the Corporation's assets and 100% of other income was directly related to US cannabis activities. 

Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB")

On October 5, 2020, the Corporation re-commenced its NCIB (the "Bid"). Under the Bid, the Corporation may purchase up to 5% of the Corporation's Shares. The Bid will terminate on the earlier of one year from commencement of the Bid or on the date on which the maximum number of Shares that can be acquired pursuant to the Bid have been purchased. On October 5, 2020 the Corporation had 181,991,390 common s hares issued and outstanding. The Corporation reserves the right to revoke the Bid earlier if it determines that it is appropriate to do so. The actual number of Shares that may be purchased under the Bid and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Corporation.

On November 27, 2020 the Company purchased 500,000 Shares at an average price of $0.015 representing 5.5% of the authorized purchases.

COVID-19

The Corporation cautions that current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its effect on the broader global economy may have a significant negative effect on the Corporation. While the precise impact of the COVID-19 virus on the Corporation and its US cannabis related investments remain unknown, rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus may have a material adverse effect on global economic activity, and can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility of people, consumer spending and the financial markets, which could in turn affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions, results of operations for the Corporation's current and future investments and other factors relevant to the Corporation.

About Vencanna

On September 24, 2018, the Corporation announced the completion of a recapitalization financing, the appointment of a new management team and board of directors and commencement of trading on the CSE. The transactions have transitioned the Corporation from an oil and gas issuer to a merchant capital firm, rebranded as "Vencanna Ventures". The recapitalized Corporation aims to be a go-to capital provider for early-stage global cannabis initiatives with an emphasis on strong management operating in state compliant jurisdictions with barriers to entry. The Corporation looks to provide investors with a diversified, high-growth, cannabis investment strategy through strategic investments focused through-out the value chain (cultivation, processing and distribution, and including ancillary businesses).
