Canadian company announced delay in filing annual financial statements because of its BVI subsidiary

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

The Canadian company Pearl River Holdings Limited reported on May 7, 2007 that it had been delayed in filing its Annual Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. The reason for this was the lack of relevant information from the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary “Pearl River Plastics Limited”, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands under International Business Companies Act.

The BVI-registered subsidiary is required to be audited and consolidated in the Annual Financial Statements of its parent company, Pearl River Holdings. The consolidated financial statements of Pearl River Plastics should include its own accounts and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Rodman Plastics Co. Ltd. and Rodman Enterprises Ltd., operating in Hong Kong, and the account of its jointly controlled entity Guangzhou Rodman Plastics Co. Ltd., operating in China.

According to the statement, the BVI company experienced this delay of the audited consolidated financial statements due to staff shortages at the audit firm in Hong Kong.

The required filing date under applicable Canadian Securities law is April 30, 2007. The company has applied to the Canadian securities regulators requesting that a Management Cease Trade Order be issued. Now the company is working with its auditors to complete the audit of its annual financial statements, and is planning to file them by May 30, 2007. Pursuant to the Policy, if the company’s annual financial statements and related annual filings are not filed by June 30, 2007, it can be given a cease trade order.

BVI company files a suit against Russia’s mobile operator MTS

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

On April 28, Nomihold Securities Inc., registered in the British Virgin Islands, filed a suit at the London arbitration court against Russia’s MTS. By the information provided by the Russian mobile operator, Nomihold Securities accuses MTS of failing to exercise a $170 million stock repurchase option. The court proceeding date to examine the case will be known in summer of this year.

In 2005, the BVI company sold 51% of the shares of Tarino Limited, which is the indirect owner of the Kyrgyz GSM operator Bitel, to MTS for $150 million. The deal was concluded by MTS through its Luxembourg-registered subsidiary, Mobile TeleSystems Finance S.A. Soon the Russian investment company, Reservspetsmet, said it had struck a deal to purchase Bitel and since that time MTS has had no operational control of the Kyrgyz operator.

In its suit against MTS, BVI-registered Nomihold Securities Inc. demands from MTS Finance S.A. to exercise the $170 million option for the repurchase of 49% of the shares of Tarino Limited, and compensate for the plaintiff’s losses and expenses.

In its turn, MTS considers that it must not exercise this option because it does not possess the shares acquired in 2005. The Russian company also intended to ask for the review of the option terms because it was set at the time the option deal was struck that Tarino Ltd. had operational control of Bitel, which is the Kyrgyz’s sole company operating on the GSM. However, in its official statement MTS said that it will pay the required amount, if the court makes such a judgement.
