Thanks for posting that information.
<< When pushed (and I pushed hard) about who advised him to change to filing all years at once he said: Legal Counsel, Regulatory, Other Businesses who had been in similar situations) and the famous Advisors.
I asked if Regulators was in fact the SEC he said YES. I was stunned and immediately asked what department within the SEC provided that guidance and who specifically. His response was more shocking when he said “I don’t know “. >>
First, the SEC would NEVER give that sort of guidance. They are not a consulting firm. They would tell ARYC to consult with legal counsel and auditors.
Second, if all of the fins are completed and there is a choice between filing them individually or filing them all together, I can understand someone advising them to file all of them together.
But I can't understand WITHHOLDING fins in order to file together (which is exactly what they are doing). Right now, they probably have completed fins for at least 2014-2017. It is against the law for anyone to advise them to withhold completed fins from investors. Yet, they are holding those fins hostage until they finish EVERYTHING. The problem is that they can never seem to get finished. Recently, they "anticipated" filing 2014-2018. But now, they want to file 2014-2018 + 1Q2019. If they don't meet that deadline, then they will want to file 2014-2018 + 1Q2019 + 2Q2019. When does it end?
They should release 2014-2017 fins IMMEDIATELY. That would help to show the SEC, the market, shareholders, and future investors that they are serious about filing. That would also help to stabilize the share price and probably even reverse it and make it start to go back up again. Those fins might not be pretty, but at least they could start to regain some of the credibility that they have lost over the past few years.
WHOEVER SPEAKS WITH ARYC, THEY SHOULD PRESSURE THEM TO IMMEDIATELY RELEASE WHATEVER FINS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE THAT ARE FINISHED.
