RESTATEMENT OF 2011 AND 2012 FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
These condensed consolidated financial statements restate certain items previously reported by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and revise certain items previously reported by the Company in the notes to the consolidated financial statements due to the events described below. For information regarding the restatement of the 2011 year see the Company’s Amended Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on December 4, 2012.
Restated balances for 2012 and 2011 financial information items have been identified with the notation “Restated” where appropriate and applicable.
Other than the revising of the previously filed condensed consolidated financial statements relating to the restatement, these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements speak as of the filing date of the Company’s original Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012, filed on May 15, 2012, and these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have not been updated to reflect other events occurring subsequent to the original filing date. These notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in their historical context, except to the extent revised as a result of this restatement.
On September 7, 2012, the audit committee of the Company, upon recommendation of the Company’s management determined that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as originally filed in the Form 10-K could no longer be relied on. The Company determined that the financial statements of Kiarabrite (Pty) Ltd., Dimaflo (Pty) Ltd., Tundraspex (Pty) Ltd., Civisign (Pty) Ltd., Dimalogix (Pty) Ltd., and Chanticleer & Shaw Foods (Pty) Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “South African Operations”) which are the South African management company and the four entities organized for the stores we operate in South Africa, and the company that owns the HOA franchise rights for the territory of South Africa, were not audited as the Company was led to believe. Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed to include the changes to the financial statements of the South African Operations and its impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period ended March 31, 2012, as a result of the audit of the South African Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and the subsequent review of the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
On September 7, 2012, the Company’s South African Chief Financial Officer (“SA CFO”) resigned. It was determined that the SA CFO had committed certain illegal acts, fraud and certain misrepresentations of facts. Due to the SA CFO’s actions, certain taxes were not paid. In addition, the applicable tax forms were not filed during the proper periods. The Company has engaged tax experts to assist in the tax process. The Company also discovered a balance of approximately $58,136 and $42,109 of cash that was misappropriated by the SA CFO as of the end of the first quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011 (presented as “other receivable” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011), and approximately $128,000 in total for the period from October 2011 through September 2012. As of December 10, 2012, approximately $41,000 has been recovered by the Company and payment plans are in place for the remainder.
The Company engaged outside South African tax experts in September 2012 to assist with compliance with Value Added Tax (VAT), payroll taxes, and income taxes n South Africa. A voluntary disclosure agreement has been submitted and the Company is awaiting contract from the South African governmental agency.
In connection with the acquisition of assets as described in Note 3, the Company believes the purchase and sale with the seller was accomplished in accordance with the laws and regulations of the taxing authorities in South Africa. However, there can be no absolute assurance that the seller has fulfilled its tax and regulatory filing requirements, and whether or not the local authorities could seek to recover any unpaid taxes or other amounts from the Company, its shareholders or others. The Company is not aware of any known obligations for which the Company may be required to
settle.
The following tables include the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows as of March 31, 2012, and for the three months then ended and include the consolidated amounts previously reported, adjustments reflected in this amended filing, and the restated amounts for 2012.
