MITEC TELECOM TO DELAY FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MONTREAL, Sept. 15 /CNW Telbec/ - Mitec Telecom Inc. ("Mitec") (TSX: MTM) announced today that it is not in a position to file its first quarter, fiscal 2011 interim consolidated financial statements for the period ending July 31, 2010. Its audited statements for its fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 continue to provide accurate disclosure up to and including that period.
Mitec's Board of Directors and its management are working expeditiously to meet its obligations relating to the reporting of its first quarter, fiscal 2011 required filings, including interim consolidated financial statements, management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and related officer's certificates for the period ending July 31, 2010 and intends to file and report as soon as possible.
Mitec has applied for an order from the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities for a management cease trade order ("MCTO") as provided for in National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203") which prohibits trading in securities of Mitec by certain insiders of Mitec. The granting of an MCTO is at the discretion of the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and there is no assurance that an order will be granted.
An MCTO would not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of Mitec to trade securities of Mitec. Mitec intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternate Information Guidelines as set out in the National Policy 12-203 for as long as Mitec remains in default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a press release.
