June 19, 2018 – "Upon completion of a satisfactory due diligence, "
September 19, 2018 – "Deep-South has also completed its due diligence of the Project and of Quantum and will close the acquisition upon receiving the approval from the TSX Venture Exchange."
"The Seller is the beneficiary of a non-guaranteed subordinated loan bearing no interest totalling TRY 3,800,000(Turkish Lira) from Quantum."
No interest, sounds dodgy.
If the Turkish Lira tanks like the Venezuelan Peso, the loan could be taken over for a lot less.
It sounds like a currency play, because they think Turkish Lira is about to crash.
Assuming Quantum has a good credit rating, so can borrow TRY 4,000,000 at 5%, fixed rate, from Bank of Cyprus, before the recent hike in interest rate. Quantum lends it to Baltic, which converts it into CAD 1,600,000 , at TRY 1 : CAD 0.4 .
Lira crashes, to say TRY 1 : CAD 0.2 , so TRY 4,000,000 is now only worth CAD 800,000.
Deep South takes over the loan by paying Quantum CAD 800,000, instead of CAD 1,600,000.
Quantum converts CAD 800,000 into TRY 4,000,000, and pays Bank of Cyprus back, on top of the 5% interest it has been paying.
Baltic can pay back the loan, but why should it, since it pays no interest.
Baltic is up CAD 1,600,000, and Deep South only paid CAD 800,000.
They made ~CAD 800,000, without digging a shovelful.
