OREANDA-NEWS  The private Russian space company SR Space, which manufactures light and ultralight launch vehicles and small spacecraft, is faced with the suspension of operations on bank accounts by the Federal Tax Service (FTS). RBC writes about this with reference to SPARK data.

Oleg Mansurov, the company's CEO, confirmed the blocking, but assured that the decision would not affect the company's operations in the medium and long term, because it was associated with a cash gap.

This is the name given to a situation where a company does not have funds for mandatory expenses due to delays on the part of buyers of goods or services. According to the head of SR Space, funds under contracts or from investors will be received at the end of April or in May, and the lockdown will end.

Mansurov recalled that the company has already faced such a situation, and cash gaps themselves are common to most businesses. It is not specified for which contracts there is a delay in payments.

Evgeny Borisov, partner of the KAMA FLOW investment company, doubted that the blocking of accounts is related only to the cash gap, because the latter, as a rule, rarely worries the Federal Tax Service. Most often, we are talking about the company's tax arrears, which could not be collected through standard procedures and negotiations.
