Footnote: Formal reporting deadlines for companies
Post# of 36728
In the Pink Current Info tier, deadline for Q1 2014 filing is May 15, 2014 or (if late) May 20, 2014.
Limited Information tier, where SKTO now resides, only requires a report six months from the end of a given quarter or a fiscal year, respectively. This can be a blessing disguise if SKTO takes advantage of it.
First, the half-million dollar SKTO promotional campaign, third party or not, requires a legal opinion from an attorney on behalf of SKTO, or OTCM will stop quoting the security (akin to Grey Sheet status) .
"As a matter of policy, OTC Markets Group will not publish quotations for any security on otcmarkets.com when it has come to the attention of OTC Markets Group that such security has been the subject of promotional activities, unless OTC Markets Group has received a legal opinion, in form and substance acceptable to OTC Markets Group, to the effect that adequate current information is available concerning the security and its issuer." (OTCM Attorney Letter Agreement)
Second, the EOY financials and disclosure are deficient, and the deficiencies and omissions must first be rectified. They'll need time. A Q1 2014 in mid May without serious attention to issues already on the table might be like pouring gasoline on a camp fire from a regulatory point of view.
