Augyva Mining Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: AUV) ("Augyva")
announced that the Company will not be able to file its financial
statements for the first quarter ended May 31, 2011 on time.
The MD&A for the year ended February 28, 2011 and prepared
as of June 23, 2011, states on page 19, under INTERNATIONAL
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) that:
"The Company's action plan is as follows:
Step 1: Diagnosis
The diagnosis was made in June 2011 to understand, identify and
assess the overall effort required to produce financial information
under IFRS. As part of the transition to IFRS, the Company has
established a committee comprised of an officer and directors and
has designated external resources to conduct the implementation of
the plan.
Step 2: Design and planning
Accounting Policies Impacted
Overall, a lot of efforts will be given to the financial
statements presentation as IFRS require more disclosure. Set out
below are the main areas where changes in accounting policies are
expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements. This list should not be regarded as a complete list of
changes that will result from the transition to the IFRS. The
standards listed below are those existing based on current Canadian
GAAP and IFRS. At this stage, the Company is not able to reliably
quantify all of the expected impacts of these differences on its
financial statements."
At the meeting of the Audit Committee held on June 27, 2011, all
members of the Audit Committee (Kerry D Smith - Chairman, Sandy
C.K. Chim, CA - a non-independent member, and independent members
Michael Skutezky and Louis-Philippe Mendes) approved the content of
this MD&A. The Board of Directors, whose chairman is Sandy
Chim, also approved the contents of the report at the meeting of
the Board also held on June 27, also attended by the auditors of
the Company (Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton) for the presentation of
the annual audited financial statements of the company.
However, to date no committee has been formed and no
intervention or action of any kind has been undertaken by members
of the Audit Committee so that the committee be composed to
implement the Company's action plan. Consequently, the
implementation of the plan for the transition to IFRS has not yet
taken place.
In addition, the prevailing conflict situation also prevents us
from producing the first quarterly financial statements on
time.
Unanswered questions addressed to Sandy Chim
In recent months, dissident appeared gradually on the Board of
Directors since Sandy Chim is a director and CEO of Century Iron
Ore Corporation ("Century") recently listed on the TSX Venture
Exchange under the symbol FER and Michael Skutezky is the
secretary. The conflict has intensified in recent weeks as when the
questions have surfaced with greater insistence.
a) Financing with WISCO and MinMetals
Time and again, for several months, Louis-Philippe Mendes, a
member of the Audit Committee, and Messrs. Georges-Yvan Gagnon and
Rene Dufour have addressed several questions to Sandy Chim, on
behalf of shareholders of Augyva, among others:
-- If he had tried to include Augyva in the funding agreement with WISCO
and MinMetals, its Chinese partners in Century Iron Ore Corp.
-- And if so, what steps have been taken in this direction so far;
-- If not, why Augyva was not included in this agreement, while he was CEO,
Director and Chairman of the Board of Augyva.
This information request was again reiterated officially on
August 22, 2011 and Sandy Chim responded on August 26 that he would
respond in due course.
b) Fully functioning Management Committee - Duncan Lake
Property
Despite repeated requests from Augyva, another formal request
has been at Sandy Chim concerning the establishment of a fully
functioning management committee in accordance with section 10 of
the option and joint venture agreement signed in May 2008 in
respect of the Duncan Lake Property. By failing to respect the
rights of his partner, Century currently acts as if it had already
taken control of Augyva.
In the interest of all shareholders of Augyva, it was formally
requested on August 22, 2011 that Sandy Chim provides, within 48
hours, answers to Augyva's request and to Augyva's entire
satisfaction. Failing to do so, Augyva will go forward with the
arbitration process as per section 16 of the Joint Venture
Agreement.
Sandy Chim responded on August 26 that he was considering the
contents of the demand and expect to respond in due course, however
he objected to the statement and demands.
Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders
The annual and special meeting of shareholders will be held
today Monday August 29, 2011 at 2:00pm (Montreal Time) at 1 Place
Ville-Marie, 40th Floor, Montreal, Quebec.
