NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 11, 2016) - Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTC PINK: TAUG) ("Tauriga" or the "Company"), a diversified life sciences technology Company, today announced that it has been notified by the Federal Court (Southern District Florida) that the Company's Trial against its predecessor audit firm, Cowan Gunteski & Co. P.A. ("Cowan Gunteski" or "Cowan"), will take place on January 23, 2017 ("the Trial Date" or "the Trial"). The Trial will take place at 9:00 am EST in West Palm Beach Division ("Southern District Florida") before Judge Robin L. Rosenberg. Additionally the Pretrial Conference has been set for 9:30 am EST December 07, 2016 and the Calendar Call has been set for 9:00 am EST January 18, 2017.

This Federal lawsuit against Cowan Gunteski was initially filed by the Company on November 4, 2015 and subsequent to that there was a lengthy mediation process. At this point in time, the Company has realized out of pocket cash losses and debts (inclusive of liquidated damages) that exceed $925,000 USD. Additional potential damages include but are not limited to: inability to properly maintain Pilus Energy's Intellectual Property ("Pilus IP"), the July 31, 2015 delisting of TAUG shares from OTCQB to Pink Sheets, loss of market capitalization ("market cap"), loss of trading liquidity ("trading volume"), inability to remedy filing delinquency due to Cowan's failure to return Tauriga's FY 2013 & 2014 work papers timely, and loss of substantial business opportunities. In aggregate the Company intends to seek monetary award(s), during trial, well in excess of $3,000,000 USD; that figure is expected to continually increase as additional time lapses. On a positive note, Cowan Gunteski has substantial insurance coverage for its malpractice ("insurance coverage").

Tauriga's CEO Mr. Seth M. Shaw expressed, "The Company was delisted on July 31, 2015 and severely damaged due to the malpractice and subsequent conduct committed by Cowan Gunteski. The Company believes strongly that the factual record supports its claims and damages sought and awaits the opportunity to protect shareholders' interests through this important Federal trial."
