Good For Amount & Terms Of Inquiry:

Unable to comment
Given the fact that no detailed financial statements were released to us , we feel unable to comment on a maximum credit. 

 

 

Commercial Morality:

Unable to comment
Given that the present is an International Business Company - IBC (Offshore Company) and most of its activities are carried out outside Cyprus, coupled with the fact that no further detailed financial information is available, we feel unable to express a safe and reliable opinion on their creditability and commercial morality of the subject.

According to the Article of Associations the current company deals with the trade of pharmaceutical products although this was not confirmed. However the article makes provision for other activities as well.

We have the impression that the subject is related with GenePharm, Inc, (http://www.bioportfolio.com/corporate/company/25237/Genepharm-Inc.html) which is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products in the field of dermatology in California; however this could not be confirmed from official sources. 

Furthermore, from desk research we found that the subject might be also related with GENEPHARM AUSTRALASIA LIMITED (http://www.ascentpharmahealth.com/SiteMedia/w3svc1050/Uploads/Documents/Independent_Experts_Report-GAA_full.pdf); however this could not be confirmed from official sources.

We have the impression that this is an International Business company with offices in Cyprus; however further information was not available.

Finance

 

Please note that the latest financial details have not been released to us. The latest financial details are not available at the file of the company at the Official Companies Registry House; as the law provides for all companies. Further financial details are not available from other public sources.


Financial accounts are available at the Department of Registrar of Companies, provided that the company has submitted the compulsory accounts.

The annual general meeting of a company is convened within eighteen months of the date of its registration. Forty two days later the company should file its first annual return with the Registrar of Companies. Once a year, the annual return must be submitted. This should be done within fifteen months from the previous annual return, without disregarding the calendar year (sections 118, 120 and 125 cap. 113). 

All Cypriot Companies, whether local or international, must maintain accurate books of accounts, which should reflect the true and correct position of their conduct, as well as give adequate explanation of their operations.

The Cypriot Company Law, which is closely modeled on its English counterpart, entails that company accounts must comprise of the following: 


- Directors' report. 

- Auditor's report. 

- Financial statements as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and consolidated Financial Statements in case of parent companies (unless specifically exempted).

Audited financial statements and an Income Tax Return are required for all companies, even companies with no taxable income and/or dormant companies.

Registered Branches (in Cyprus) of foreign companies are not legally bound to compile full separate branch accounts however when taxed on the island, are obliged to do so for income tax purposes. 

Additionally they have to submit accounts of the main company, translated into Greek, to the Department of Registrar of Companies. 

Partnerships are exempt from any requirement to prepare audited accounts, but they are legally bound to keep proper books of account which must be available for scrutiny by individual partners.

According to the Article of Associations the current company deals with the trade of pharmaceutical products although this was not confirmed. However the article makes provision for other activities as well.

We have the impression that the present is an International Business Company - IBC (ex - Offshore Company) registered in Cyprus on 22.04.2004. 

IBC companies, being covered by the law of confidentiality, may use nominee shareholders that hold the shares in trust for beneficial owners. Until recently beneficial owners were made known only to the Central Bank of the Republic of Cyprus that used to grant the permission for the company’s registration in Cyprus. After Cyprus accession in the EU this practice changed. Beneficial owners of an IBC are now known to the Lawyers and / or Auditors that undertake the registration of such companies in Cyprus.

In the past IBC’s (ex offshore companies & offshore branches) used to be benefited from a corporation tax rate on their profits of 4.25%. However, according to new tax legislation which has been in effect as of 1st January 2003, there is no longer a distinction between local companies and International Business Companies (IBC’s) and thus, the net profits of all companies registered in Cyprus are taxed at the rate of 10%.

Further more, in the past the law required the IBC’s (ex offshore companies & offshore branches), beneficial owners to be non-Cypriot residents and the business activities to be carried out, outside Cyprus only. Currently, this law has changed. IBC entities may have activities worldwide, including Cyprus. However, in order for an IBC entity to have activities locally, their Memorandum and Articles of Association should provide for that. Most of the IBC entities that were registered before the change of the law have already proceeded with the amendments in their Memorandum and Articles of Association.

We tried contacting the company in question; however our attempts were unsuccessful.

Please note that the information included in the report was obtained from the Official Companies’ Registrar. 

A check against our records revealed that no negative payment incidents against Subject Company, such as unpaid invoices, dishonored cheques and utility bills, bankruptcies exist etc.
