Sarissa Resources Inc (SRSR)

[All-Bidness]

The Shining Tree subsidiaries financials are included in the Sarissa consolidated financials as that is what is required by US accounting laws it doesn't matter if its Sarissa or GE. Its based on the % of the subsidiary owned/controlled by the parent. It's messy here as the total number of shares of Shining Tree is 100 but there are private placement subscriptions for millions of shares that were never issued. So what is the true ownership of Shining Tree? I guess since no shares were ever issued to the private placement subscribers the 100 remains the only shares of Shining Tree outstanding and it remains required to be part of Sarissa consolidated financials. Not really clear?

Certainly, the fact that years after the Shining Tree private placement where money was brought in the company under Keevil and Currah didn't consider there to be more than 100 shares of Shining Tree on the company financials raises evidence that there were no shares issued that those private placements were securities fraud? More on this will be learned in discovery during the trial.

However, in both cases, the parent corporation only has as much control as their share ownership or control agreements in the subsidiary allow.

The private placement you pointed out was not the Shining Tree private placement but a Sarissa private placement in 2014. The ShiningTree private placement my friend participated was in 2011 was a subscription of Shining Tree Resources Corp shares directly not Sarissa shares. There was a publically announced Shining Tree Private placement in 2012 as well.

A subsidiary can't offer a private placement in the parent company shares. They are not interchangeable although may have been considered so here by past management.

Sarissa would have to have a private placement which it did many times. Sarissa's board would then have to have a resolution agreeing to lend the subsidiary cash that came from the proceeds of the private placement with terms of the loan. In this case that isn't what happened my friend and others subscribed to purchase Shining Tree shares.
