CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 10, 2007) - TVI Pacific Inc.
(TSX:TVI)(the "Company") announces that it has filed an updated Default
Status Report as required under the Management Cease Trade Order (the
"Order") issued by the Alberta Securities Commission on August 15, 2007.
TVI Pacific applied for the Order following its announcement on August
8, 2007, that its consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and its interim consolidated financial
statements for the first quarter of 2007 required restatement.
The Company previously expected to file its restated consolidated
financial statements on or before October 15, 2007. TVI Pacific
continues to work diligently to finalize the restatement of its
consolidated financial statements for prior periods under the
supervision of the Company's Audit Committee and Board of Directors. The
Company has now completed its review and has prepared the restated
consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2005 and 2006, and
is currently preparing restated consolidated financial statements as at
March 31, 2007. The Company expects to release these restated
consolidated financial statements next week, as soon as the Company's
independent auditors have completed their review and audit procedures.
The restated financial statements, when released, will include
disclosure as to the nature of the errors giving rise to the
restatement, which do not affect the Company's previously reported cash
and working capital positions. In light of the errors noted, the Company
has modified its financial reporting procedures and internal controls,
particularly in light of the complex accounting standards governing
consolidation and foreign currency translation of results reported by
affiliated companies.
Once the restated consolidated financial statements have been filed,
the Company will complete the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements as at June 30, 2007.
