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).

statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and should be read

and Class B common shares. The Class A special shares are
transferable with and only with the associated Class B common
shares and trade as one unit (JPL.UN). Accordingly, the Company's

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.
