Virtutone Announces Financing Update

SHERWOOD PARK, ALBERTA, Jun 27, 2012 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- Virtutone Networks Inc., ("Virtutone" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VFX) announces today that it has secured additional financing under its bank facility agreement (the "Credit Facility"). The added financing will be used to assist in managing growth of the Company's wholesale division.

Under its new facility, the Company may borrow up to $2,000,000, provided the borrowings outstanding do not at any time exceed 75% of accounts receivable as defined in the Credit Facility. Virtutone also has available a revolving lease facility for up to $120,000. All borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1.7%, which has been reduced from prime plus 2.5% based on the bank's recently completed annual review of the Company's financial condition. All borrowings are secured by all of the assets of the Company.

"This new facility gives us needed flexibility as we continue to ramp up our wholesale business", said Colin Campbell, Virtutone's Chief Financial Officer.
