Boulevard Holdings thinks that it might be suspended until early February
In a letter to shareholders written by Boulevard Holdings’ [BHI 0.06 susp] owner and CEO, Jose Panlilio, the company said that it would likely be unable to supply its Annual Report for FY2021 (May 31 year-end) or any of its Quarterly Reports until “early February.”
BHI claims that its FY2021 report is “nearly complete and ready”, but blames continued delays on its auditor having deployed new auditing software for the BHI engagement, and on the SEC’s interest in BHI’s FY2020 report as part of a larger “quality control” audit by the SEC on BHI’s auditor.
The auditor has advised BHI that it will be able to complete BHI’s reports “latest end January”.
MB BOTTOM-LINE
This stock has been suspended for two months, and its minority shareholders have been trapped in this stock for just as long, waiting for BHI and its auditor to get it together and supply basic reporting requirements.
BHI was suspended for failure to submit timely FY2020 reports, so while shareholders have a right to be angry about BHI’s administration of its reporting, they probably don’t have the same right to be surprised.
Last time, BHI threw its auditor under the bus for not being able to enter Boracay due to COVID; this time it’s throwing the auditor under the bus again, but for new reasons that are way less deserving of understanding.
To his credit, Mr Panlilio accepts full responsibility for the mess in his sign-of (“Taking Full Responsibility & Wishing You Well in the Holidays”), but that’s pretty cold comfort to stranded shareholders that just want the company to execute the basics and not cause them to worry every reporting deadline about whether their shares will be suspended or not.
