Published Financial Reports not for the right Company?

We have been asking for Valcor to publish audited reports of the company that investors are buying shares into.
When we asked about this, we were told it was not our job to ask questions. But surely it would be beneficial for EVERYONE for any queries to be addressed?

We have promised that we would take down this blog once we were satisfied that:

1) all required information was published
2) everything was done in a transparent manner
3) all unscrupulous practices to get people to invest in this opportunity were stopped.

We have promised this and we will honour our promise.

Whilst a financial report has been made available on the Valcorinvestment website, it does not look like this report is for IPEC, or for Exportaciones Maderas del Atlantic SA. Whereas in fact we would be expecting the reports for both of these.
This means that conditions 1 and 2 have not been satisfied.

Recently we also came across a website advertising this super investment opportunity as recession-proof, talking of full productivity in a few weeks, and promising a dividend in early 2009.
http://www.nuwireinvestor.com/opportunities/timber-investment-after-hurricane-felix-huge-returns-52080.aspx

This seems to contradict our request to stop unscrupulous practices.

We want to be fair to ValcorInvestment. But we also feel it is our duty to protect would-be investors. All this blog does is report facts, and it allows investors to see what ValcorInvestment has promised in the past.

We will honour our promise when the condition is right.
At this time, it seems that ValcorInvestment are not trying to cooperate, and are posting the wrong financial reports as an attempt to confuse. Again, the ball is in your court.

Valcor Makes their Financial Reports available

Valcor has made their financial reports available.

http://www.valcorinvestment.com/Financials%20Valcor.pdf

It should be noted that all values are in Nicaragua Cordoba. The current exchange rate is approx 20 Cordoba = 1 USD.


I think it could be useful for Valor to include a statement explaining the reports. When looking at the reports, I have a number of questions:

1) These reports seem to be for Valcor SA. Aren't investors investing into "Exportaciones Maderas del Atlantic SA", which owns 100% of "IPEC International". ? Shouldn't these reports be made available as well?

2) "sales" for the whole year on the results show 28,378 "dolares". is this USD? AUD? CAD? and it this all that was sold in one year of operations?

3) "assets" shows that the concessions are worth 5,131,865 "dolares". Again, what is the currency here?

Maybe Valcor could provide a statement to accompany the results?

Valcor Investment: a post by a visitor to this blog

Here is a comment that was left on this blog by a visitor last week.

For those wondering if Valcor is real or a fraud, ask yourself these questions.
1. Who are they currently selling to? Can they prove it.
2. What volume are they selling? Does this volume match their claimed sawing capacity? They claim to be sawing 300,000 bd ft a week of mahogany and cocobolo. Peru ecports about 150,000 bd ft a week of mahognay, and they are the world's largest exporter of mahogany. Not too many buyers out there for 10,000 bd ft a month of cocobolo, certainly not in the US.
If he is selling 300,000 bd ft of mahogany and cocobolo a week, that should be between $1 million and 1.5 million per week in income, depending on grades sold. 30,000 bd ft a week would be between $100,000 and $150,000 per week
3. Do you think Valcor can cut and sell more mahogany than Peru? 
4. Ask to speak to people who are buying from Valcor.
5. Call Sitco lumber in the US and ask about Valcor. Do they buy from them, do they know them, what do they think of them?
6. If they were selling to Bosovich from Peru, why does their website say they have a deal with Bozeman? Can't they spell their name properly if they have a deal with them?
7. why is their website down today?
8. If you invested money with them, why did you not buy a bridge in Brooklyn instead? Or maybe stocks in Worldcom or Enron? Those would have been better investments.
