On September 16, 2013, the Company announced that it had become aware that the Company and its Chief Executive Officer have been named as defendants in a proposed class action lawsuit filed against Robert Genovese, certain individuals alleged to have collaborated with Mr. Genovese, and an offshore investment firm allegedly controlled by Mr. Genovese.  The action contains various claims alleging violations of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules thereunder relating to anomalous trading activity and fluctuations in the Company’s share price from August through October 2012. The plaintiff purports to bring suit on behalf of all who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common shares from April 1, 2008, through and including October 5, 2012.

 

The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

 

The Company’s registered agent in the State of Nevada was served with the complaint on September 18, 2013.  As of the date of filing of this Form 10-K, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer had not been served with the complaint.

 

The Company and its Chief Executive Officer intend to fully investigate the complaint and will undertake a vigorous defence.

 

Additionally, in the normal course of operations, certain other contingencies may arise relating to legal actions undertaken against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such potential legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or its financial position.
