Zaio Provides March Business Update and Announces Investor Conference Call

Zaio, Valuation Vision and Axis Collectively Generated over $2.25 Million in Pro forma Revenue During the Month of March

CALGARY, April 16, 2014 /CNW/ - Zaio Corporation (TSX-V:ZAO), ("Zaio" or "the Company"), announced that during the month of March, Zaio, Valuation Vision and Axis collectively processed  appraisal reports and BPO's, generating over $2.25 million in revenue on a pro forma basis. This is the third consecutive month that the three companies collectively grew their pro forma revenues by more than 10% month over month. The growth was driven by a combination of new customer acquisitions and growth in current customer relationships.

"The continued monthly growth of our pro forma revenues validates the quality of products we are offering the market, and more importantly the effectiveness of our Zaio, Valuation Vision, and Axis teams working together to address customer needs," said David King, President and CEO of Zaio Corporation. "I am extremely pleased to see our teams take meaningful steps forward on the corporate integration process while Valuation Vision progresses on the completion of its fiscal 2013 audit, and Zaio and Axis progress on the completion of the definitive agreement between the Companies."

"During our previous business update, we announced that we are introducing new appraisal products to further leverage the most valuable attributes of Zaio's proprietary database along with Valuation Vision's operations platform, analytics, and forms engine for an unsurpassed appraiser and customer experience," continued David King. "I am pleased to announced that the beta testing for the launch of our GEAR AP, a complete re-work of the Zaio Z-VAL family of products is almost complete, and a public announcement as to their general availability will happen before the end of April."
