16. Company’s South African Chief Financial Officer resigned

 

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 $118,827 and $42,109 of cash that was misappropriated by the SA CFO as of the end of the third quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011 (presented as “other receivable” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 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.
