Marketwired Canada
Jannock Properties Limited (TSX VENTURE:JPL.UN) today reported that the
shareholders at the Annual General and Special Meeting on May 14, 2009 approved
a Voluntary Dissolution of the Corporation on or about October 30, 2009. The
Corporation also announced a net loss of $55,000 ($0.00 per share) for the First
Quarter of 2009 compared with a net loss of $6,000 ($0.00 per share) for the
same period in 2008.
Revenue
Income in the three months to March 31, 2009 consisted of interest earned on
short term investments of surplus cash of $13,000. This compares with interest
earnings of $53,000 in the same period last year.
General and Administrative Expenses
In the First Quarter of this year, general and administrative expenses were
$98,000, compared with $62,000 for the First Quarter of last year. This increase
is entirely due to additional expenses incurred in the preparation of
documentation for the Special Meeting of shareholders which was held with in
conjunction with the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on May 14, 2009.
Income Taxes
Income tax recoveries on the First Quarter of 2009 amount to $30,000 and will
form part of the recoveries which will be claimed under tax clearances to be
obtained from Canada Revenue Agency for 2009.
Cash Flows from Operations
Cash used for operating activities in the First Quarter of this year amounted to
$101,000 compared with a cash usage of $462,000 for the same period last year.
The major differences are due to:
- Cash receipts for the First Quarter this year were $13,000 and were all from
interest received from the investment of cash surpluses. This compares with
$62,000 of interest receipts for the First Quarter last year.
- Cash payments for the First Quarter this year were $114,000. In the same
period last year cash payments were $524,000 and included income tax
installments of $443,000.
Corporate Items
Shareholders at the Annual General and Special Meeting on May 14, 2009 approved
a voluntary dissolution of the Corporation and its eventual delisting from the
TSX-V exchange. Votes cast in favour of the two resolutions were in excess of
99.9%.
The Corporation will now make an application for a clearance certificate from
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to confirm that no taxes are payable up to the
dissolution date and will seek consent from CRA to the dissolution. Following
receipt of the clearance certificates and consent a dissolution date will be set
and the remaining cash after payment of all liabilities will be distributed to
shareholders. The Corporation will continue to issue reports on its operating
results and matters relating to the dissolution until the dissolution date.
The Corporation has estimated that approximately $350,000 will be required to
satisfy all of its ordinary course debts, obligations and liabilities, including
the administrative costs related to the dissolution and delisting (the
"Dissolution Costs"). These Dissolution Costs include, but are not limited to,
the estimated costs and expenses of: (i) the legal fees for the dissolution and
delisting, (ii) tax return preparation and filing; (iii) auditor fees; (iv)
mailing costs; and (v) all other amounts whatsoever required to satisfy the
expenses, liabilities and obligations of the Corporation. The Corporation does
not intend to make any distribution to the Shareholders until after the
Corporation has obtained the consents from CRA, and satisfied all of its debts,
obligations and liabilities.
Management has determined that after the payment of ordinary course liabilities,
including the Dissolution Costs, the Corporation will have approximately
$5,400,000 in cash, which will comprise the remaining property and assets of the
Corporation that will be distributed to shareholders on the dissolution in
accordance with their holdings of Special Shares.
The Corporation's shareholders hold Units which currently consists of a
combination of one Class B common share and 65 Class A special shares. The
combination of the Corporation's Common and Special Shares are listed as Units
on the TSX-V Exchange (trading symbol: JPL.UN).

the associated Class B common shares and trade as one unit (JPL.UN).

5. Capital Management
The mandate for the Corporation is to dispose of its assets in a manner that
maximizes value and distributes the net proceeds realized from those assets to
shareholders in a timely fashion. The Corporation's remaining assets are almost
entirely its cash balances.
6. Potential Recoveries
The Corporation has identified approximately $70 of potential recoveries of
development charges that are expected to be recovered from other developers in
2009. Any amounts received will be treated as a recovery of development costs
charged to cost of sales in prior years. The Corporation is looking for ways to
realize a portion of any remaining development charges within the liquidation
time-frame. The ultimate amount realized and the timing of recovery is uncertain
and could differ from current estimates.
