TORON, INC. (OTC:TRON) PROVIDES CORPORATE STATUS UPDATE
TUCSON, ARIZONA – October 31, 2018 - Toron, Inc. (OTC Pink: TRON) provides its stockholders today with a corporate status update.
“We are pleased to announce that Toron has accepted and executed a Letter of Intent for a $10 million working capital facility from a privately held finance company specializing in financing healthcare providers in the United States. With this working capital facility in place, we can
implement our strategic plans for operations and we shall be poised to explore additional acquisition opportunities to add to our base of operations,” stated Rene Ortiz Morentin, Toron’s Chief Executive Officer.
Additionally, the Company has engaged Sterling Issuer Services to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 8-K.
First, touching on iMedScan, in addition to the soundbites in the post preceding this one, the first press release asserts the intent to use the first acquisition to show the veracity and efficiency of iMedScan via its implementation in InMed. Going by the quotes laid down in the prior posting, they are looking to boost InMed significantly, to the tune of a 25% reduction in insurance denials and rejections, as well as a 50% net profit recapture. Also of substance, in the December 14, 2017 press release, there was mention of the creation of use of iMedScan in kiosk form, as well as what seems to be smart contracts, using blockchain to digitize recurring monthly revenue contracts. Considering the phrasing of recurring monthly revenue contracts, it seems iMedScan's scope goes beyond just patient payment, loss prevention, and net recapture, and extends to the upper organizational level by which it could reel in the business of entire healthcare systems and larger insurance agencies.
With iMedscan discussion above out of the way, the first press release asserts that the ~$11M LOI from Flagship was for InMed. If that sounds like common knowledge, it is; and if it does not sound of importance, here's where it could be more telling about Rene's hand and the cards he may be holding.
In the order of operations, Flagship did not approve Toron for the 8-figure loan first, by which Toron then decided to go on a shopping trip to pick InMed. Toron already had InMed as a target ready to present, and Flagship gave the nod and offered up the LOI.
So, with that being the order of operations, the next step is probably not so different. In the second press release, Toron was issued a second 8-figure tranche of funding. Like the first scenario, the cart did not come before the horse, and the presentation of the money did not come before the presentation of the acquisition target(InMed).
Now, the second release mentions clearly the intent to explore additional acquisition targets. While that sounds like future tense, and like they are just going to begin the process, it is likely only what is being depicted to shareholders and the public at the current time. It would be very surprising if Flagship(or any other lender) just gave $10M and said "Go Explore with our money and tell us what you find!". More likely, Rene had several targets in mind, and some way of presenting them each as viable, but needed the loan to prove funding capabilities to any number of a series of viable targets which the lender(Flagship, etc) had given the nod to, which Toron would have to sort through, and then pick the best of the bunch(likely with the help of InMed this time, seeing as they mentioned expanding the base of operations).
InMed is looking like the first domino to fall, and after the 8k and audits, plus the formal BOD integration, we will likely know more about where that second tranche of funding is going.
