Strategem Capital Corporation ("Strategem" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGE)
announced today that it will be late filing its annual audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the Management Discussion
and Analysis for that period (collectively the "Financial Disclosure"), as
required by Sections 4.2 and 5.1 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous

Disclosure upon receipt of the audit report. Strategem shall satisfy the
provisions of the any alternative information guidelines provided by securities
