Don't want to put a lot if this on Les, but he has been pro both companies. Les, please give us your wisdom thoughts. Omni and MCIG are related when anything happens. What is the next step? Look into your crystal ball, and try to put the negative fire out on these two stocks. Insight please?
There's a lot of wild speculation going on here. Let's look at the facts.
1.) Omni was apparently having a hard time getting their financials audited. Instead of a formal 10-K they filed an unaudited Annual Report. This ordinarily may or may not indicate that there is a serious problem. However...
2.) They issued a letter from an attorney who independently reviewed their financials and concluded the following...
In other words after extensively analyzing the information and speaking with Omni management,they have no reason to believe that the financials do not accurately reflect the financial condition of the company.
3.) Omni submitted a Form 15 under Rule 12h-3(b)(1)(i) which is a requested Suspension of Duty to File required (10-K and 10-Q) financial reports. This rule deals primarily with the request to suspend the company's requirement to file and does not lead to a conclusion that the company is deregistering any securities.
4.) Omni had until October 31 to file their financial information as an Annual Report in order to qualify for the OTC "Pink - Limited Information" status.
This is all that is known and is fact at this point.
It would make sense that if Omni is having trouble getting auditors to sign off on their financials, they would try to do the next best thing and qualify for "Pink - Limited Information". There are many reasons why auditors would not certify an audit that are not necessarily nefarious or distort the financials, for example, lost expense reports, invoices or receipts. Malecon was a private company for 40+ years and wouldn't have had the stringent accounting standards required of a public company. The letter from the attorney is an indication that the financials are accurate. They have apparently satisfied the OTC Exchange that they are reporting limited information. There is no direct effect to current shareholders.
The main open question is if there are lost documents or other issues, what can the company do to satisfy the auditors and when will this situation be resolved.
