SILVER DRAGON RESOURCES INC. |
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY) |
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
September 30, 2012 and 2011 |
1.Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Silver Dragon Resources Inc. was incorporated on May 9, 1996 in the State of Delaware and its executive office is in Toronto, Canada. It carries out operations through subsidiaries in Canada, Mexico and China. Silver Dragon Resources Inc. and its subsidiary and affiliate (collectively referred to as “Silver Dragon” or the “Company”) are in the exploration stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Accounting and Reporting For Development Stage Entities”.
The Company’s strategy is to acquire and develop a portfolio of silver properties in proven silver districts globally. To date, the Company has generated no sales and has devoted its efforts primarily to financing, by issuing common shares and convertible debt, and exploring its properties.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), are expressed in United States funds, and pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim condensed financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
2. Going Concern and Exploration Stage Activities
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months.
At September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,278,672 (December 31, 2011 – $1,750,564), has not yet achieved profitable operations, incurred a net loss of $2,862,803 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 (2011 -$2,772,493), has accumulated losses of $42,913,084 since its inception, and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These factors cast doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to repay liabilities when they come due, and in the long-run is dependent upon achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity or convertible debt financing; however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during the period ended September 30, 2012, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

(b) | The Company has committed to provide capital contributions to cover expenses proportionate to its equity interest in Sino-Top. |
The Company’s Mexican subsidiary has been subjected to irregularities that it has been seeking to redress. Legal proceedings were heard and decided on an ex parte basis, without notice to the Company that resulted in its Mexican subsidiary losing title to its mineral assets. In December 2010, the Company became aware of this situation, and has taken steps through the courts in Mexico to redress the situation. It included a Constitutional Rights Claim before the Federal Court in the City of Durango, premised on procedural irregularities. On May 22, 2012 the court ruled against the Constitutional Rights Claim. As a result, we have determined that we will not pursue any further recourse with regard to this matter, and accordingly, we will never recover the Mexican Concessions. The Company is working with its legal counsel to dissolve the Mexican subsidiaries.

In consideration of the foregoing, the lenders agreed, from the date of the letters of agreement through the Payoff Date, to forbear from exercising any right or remedy in respect of the Transaction Documents, including without limitation any right to conversion, right to delivery of shares, right to assignment, purchase right or any remedy arising as the result of any default or event of default. The parties have also agreed to a mutual release of claims, subject to and effective upon receipt and collection of the Payoff Amount as set forth in the letters of agreement. If the Payoff Amount is not paid by the Payoff Date, the lender’s agreements shall be deemed cancelled.
In April 2013, the Payoff Date was extended to be June 30, 2013.

OVERVIEW
Our primary objective is to explore for silver minerals. Our secondary objective is to locate, evaluate, and acquire other mineral properties, and to finance our exploration through equity or debt financing or by way of joint venture or option agreements or through a combination of both, if and to the extent available.
CHINESE PROPERTIES
By virtue of our 40% equity interest in Sino-Top Resources & Technologies, Ltd. (“Sino-Top”), we currently have an interest in the following six silver poly-metallic exploration properties owned by Sino-Top, which properties are located in the Erbahuo Silver District in Northern China (Inner Mongolia): Dadi; Laopandao; Aobaotugonao; Shididonggou; Yuanlinzi; and Zhuanxinhu. Prior to July 5, 2012, we also had a 70% interest in Chifeng Silver Dragon Resources & Technologies, Ltd. (“Chifeng”), which owns the Erbahuo property, also located in the Erbahuo Silver District in Northern China (Inner Mongolia).
On May 28, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 70% interest in Chifeng Silver Dragon Resources & Technologies, Ltd. (“Chifeng”), which then owned the Erbahuo silver mine located on the boundary of Wengniute County and Keshiketeng County, Inner Mongolia. The Company sold such interest to Deng Zuoping, a private Chinese investor, for RMB 7.4 million or US$1,164,020, of which RMB1 million was to be paid within three business days after signing the agreement, RMB5 million was to be paid before July 15, 2012 and RMB1.4 million was to be paid by November 1, 2012. On June 1, 2012, an initial deposit of RMB1.0 million or $157,300 was received, of which $12,584 was contributed to Chifeng for expenses incurred until the date of the sale. Concurrently with such payment, we transferred to the purchaser title to our interest in Chifeng. Of the remaining payments, RMB5 million or $790,980 was paid to the Company during the fourth quarter of 2012, RMB300,000 or $48,057 was paid in the first quarter of 2013 and RMB100,000 or $16,019 was paid in the second quarter of 2013 and RMB1 million or $160,121 remains outstanding as of April 25, 2013.
Of our remaining six properties, three are material to us: Dadi, Laopandao and Aobaotugounao.
General Update on Operations
At Dadi, the 2012 exploration program includes 4,000 meters (incl. 1,000 meters contingency) drilling, 3,000 meters tunneling, and 500 meters trenching. At Laopandao, the 2012 exploration program includes 4,000 meters (incl. 1,000 meters contingency) drilling, 700 meters tunneling and 500 meters trenching. At Aobaotugounao, the 2012 exploration program includes 4,000 meters drilling and 5,000 meters trenching. In total, Sino-Top’s budget for the following is: Dadi: RMB21.3 million; for Laopandao: RMB3.8 million; for Aobaotugounao: RMB3.43 million; for others: RMB3.57 million; for G&A: RMB4,745,000 for a total budget of RMB 36,845,000 (US$5.8 million), of which RMB33,719,200 (US$5,352,253) has been spent as of September 30, 2012 and US$500,000 remains to be spent. Shengda and Silver Dragon invest at a ratio of 5:4, i.e. Shengda shares approximately 55.56% in the budget, and Silver Dragon 44.44% . If Silver Dragon is not contributing at a level of 44.44%, the Parties to the Sino-Top joint venture shall re-determine the profit distribution proportion before either of the Parties makes additional capital contribution.

Dadi Update
Exploration work in respect of the 2012 program at Dadi commenced on February 24, 2012, focusing on underground drifting (face drilling) and underground drilling. As of September 30, 2012, twelve underground drill holes had been completed with a total drilling length of 1,039 meters.In addition, underground drifting, including transverse drifts CM08, CM12 and CM14 at the 1,350m level and PD4CM02, PD4CM06, PD4CM08 in tunnel PD4, was also completed.The total tunneling length was 692.8 meters, including mineral drifts, transverse drifts and transportation tunnels. At present, 149 samples from drill core and channel sampling within the transverse drifts have been analyzed.
Highlights from the 2012 drilling program completed thus far at Dadi are as follows:
Mineralization was discovered in zone II within transverse drifts NCM02 and NCM06 at 1,350 meters deep.
Related underground drill holes are ZK0006, ZK0007, ZK0008, ZK0103, and ZK0104. These underground drill holes are located at transverse drifts PD4NCM00 and PD4NCM01, and were performed to help define dipping extensions within mineralization zone IV.
The underground drill holes ZK0006, ZK0007, and ZK0008 have the same azimuth of 220°, but different dip angles. They are located within transverse drift PD4NCM00.
Drill hole ZK0006 is 100.5m long and its dip angle is 50°. Assay results do not show strong mineralization, but alteration.
Drill hole ZK008 is 160 meters long and its dip angle is 85°. Assay results show that, from 116.1m to 124.25m intervals (8.15m drilling length), the drilling cores reveal strong alteration and zinc mineralization.
Underground drill holes ZK0103 and ZK0104 have the same azimuth of 220°, but different dip angles. They are located within transverse drift PD4NCM01.
Drill hole ZK0104 is 110m long and its dip angle is 50°. Assay results show one mineralized interval, from 51m to 54m (3m drilling length).
Transverse drift PD4NCM03 is located in PD4 adit to detect lateral extensions of mineralization zone IV at the 1,330m level.
Transverse drift PD4NCM05 is also located at PD4 adit to detect lateral extensions of mineralization zone IV at the 1,330m level. These indicate that the mineralization zone IV at this position has significant silver, lead and zinc mineralization.
Channel sampling was performed within transverse drifts NCM06 and NCM02 at the 1,350m level. Those two drifts are designed to detect lateral mineralization zone II.
Transverse drift NCM06 is 74.5m long and reveals significant mineralization of silver, lead and zinc.
18
Transverse drift NCM02 is 54m long and also reveals significant mineralization. Based on current assay results, from 31.7m to 34.9m intervals (3.2m length), three samples contain silver, lead and zinc mineralization.
Mineralization zone II is the most significant zone at the Dadi property and the assay results of those two transverse drifts provide further evidence to support this achievement.
Laopandao Update
For April 2012 to August 2012, Beijing Longxing Shengxuan Technology Investment Co., Ltd. was commissioned by Sino-Top to conduct metallurgic tests on Mineralization Zones I, II and III of the Laopandao Sn-Polymetallic Property.
A summary of the metallurgic test on Mineralization Zones I and II of Laopandao Sn-Polymetallic Property is as follows:
The samples collected from mineralization zones I and II of Laopandao Property are mainly high arsenic Cu-Ag-S. The metallurgic test mainly involves Cu and Ag recovery. The major metallic minerals include chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite and arsenopyrite, followed by sphalerite, galena, pyrite, native bismuth, bismuthinite, cassiterite, wolframite, etc. Gangue minerals are mainly quartz, feldspar, mica, followed by kaolinite, apatite, rutile, xenotime, zircon, etc. The results of chemical phase analysis show that most of Cu and Ag elements exist in Cu-bearing sulfide, which is favorable for the recovery of copper and silver.
The challenge of this metallurgic test is the high content of arsenic in the raw mineral. Arsenic is mainly in the form of arsenopyrite, but the arsenic-bearing tetrahedrite is the major obstacle that impedes the effort of separating arsenic from Cu concentrate. In order to improve the sale of the Cu (Ag) concentrate, the arsenic content in the concentrate should be reduced as much as possible. During the test, we applied coarse grinding to separate Cu and Ag and processed the coarse concentrate to further reduce the content of arsenic in Cu/Ag concentrate. Repeatedly separating arsenic and processing the concentrate yielded Cu/Ag concentrate with low arsenic; processing Cu/Ag tailings yielded As/S concentrate.
The summary of the metallurgic test on Mineralization Zone III of the Laopandao Sn-Polymetallic Property is as follows:
The results of chemical phase analysis show that tin mineralization mainly exists in cassiterite. The major metallic minerals include cassiterite, limonite, pyrite, arsenopyrite, etc. Gangue minerals are mainly quartz, white mica, feldspar, chlorite, rutile, zircon, monazite, xenotime, etc. Cassiterite in the mineral ranges in size from micrograined to fine granular. Due to poor floatability of cassiterite and its fine-grained granularity, and the complexity of the minerals that affect cassiterite recovery by gravity separation method, the recovery of cassiterite is complicated.
19
The mineral contains iron-bearing minerals in high specific gravity. First, we extracted iron-bearing minerals by coarse grinding and magnetic separation method (60% at -0.074mm level); then we processed the magnetic separation tailings by gravity separation method in two categories (+0.037mm and -0.037mm), so that cassiterite at +0.037mm level can be recovered well and that of -0.037mm level recovered to the greatest extent. The mineral contains pyrite and arsenopyrite, which gather and concentrate with cassiterite during gravity separation, resulting in heavy contents of sulfur and arsenic. Thus we conducted reverse flotation to separate sulfur and arsenic from Sn concentrate and eventually obtained qualified Sn concentrate.
The Laopandao license was renewed on October 23, 2012. The Laopandao property comprises one exploration license, T15120090702032551, covering 33.67 square kilometers. The license is valid from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2014 and is renewable by way of an application. The exploration license is owned by Inner Mongolia Guangda Mining, Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Sino-Top). It grants the right to detailed exploration over an area of 33.67 square kilometers in Keshiketeng County, Inner Mongolia.
Aobaotugounao Update
All the field projects designed for 2012 have been completed on the property. The main tasks of the exploration were to operate advanced geological mapping of the whole property area and to detect mineralization zones I and II in the northern property by trenching and drilling with 100m × 100m exploratory grid in order to obtain mineralization of silver, lead and zinc.
20
The exploration projects completed include 14 drill holes and one surface trenching. The exploration work was focused on Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization zone I. Zone I, was discovered by geophysical and geochemical detection, surface trenches, and 4 drill holes in 2011. A total of 423 samples have been sent to the Yanjiao Central Laboratory of North China Nonferrous Geological Survey Bureau for assaying.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Net sales were $nil for both of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, as there was no production at any of the properties.
The net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was $2,862,803 and is consistent compared to $2,772,493 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest charges was mitigated by the decrease in general and administrative expenses and the gain on the sale of the interest in the Erbahuo property.
The general and administration expenses decreased from $1,739,032 to $1,320,403 since we took measures to decrease operating costs relating to the head office.
Total other expenses increased significantly for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $1,542,400 as compared to the same period in 2011 of $1,033,461, primarily due to interest incurred on the convertible notes payable issued subsequent to June 30, 2011.
Interest expenses increased significantly from $710,876 to $1,923,084 in the current period as a result of the issuance and conversion of convertible notes payable. Loss on equity investment increased from $385,085 in the prior period to $762,687 in the current period due to current exploration. These increased expenses were mitigated by the gain on the sale of the interest in Erbahuo property totalling $1,143,371.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011
Net sales were $nil for both of the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, as there was no production at any of the properties.
The net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 was $88,072 compared to $1,086,758 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease of loss in the current period is primarily due to the sale of the interest in the Erbahuo property.
The general and administration expenses decreased from $602,596 in the prior period to $357,826 in the current period since we took measures to decrease operating costs relating to the head office.
Total other expenses decreased significantly for the three months ended September 30, 2012 at an income of $241,406 compared to a loss in the same period in 2011 of $484,162, primarily due to the sale of the interest in the Erbahuo property.
Interest expenses increased from $314,935 in the prior period to $450,104 in the current period as a result of the issuance and conversion of convertible notes payable. Loss on equity investment increased from $194,227 in the prior period to $423,513 in the current period due to current exploration. These increased expenses were mitigated by the gain on the sale of the interest in Erbahuo property totalling $1,143,371.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary cash requirements are for the exploration and acquisition of mining exploration properties and corporate and administrative costs. At September 30, 2012, we had working capital deficit of $2,862,803 and cash on hand of $116,090, and at December 31, 2011, we had working capital deficit of $1,750,564 and cash on hand of $114,568. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we contributed $799,499 to Sino-Top for exploration purposes, and spent $383,342 on leasehold improvements. We spent $1,781,740 on operating activities.
We also closed a number of financings pursuant to which we issued shares of Common Stock. See “Part II Item 2 – “Sales of Unregistered Securities during 2012” below. We also entered into, modified or continued to have outstanding a number of convertible financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2012, we were in breach or default under the covenants for some or all of such arrangements. Depending upon the financing arrangement, a default may mean that the lender is entitled to default interest, acceleration of amounts due and/or other special rights, to impose additional penalties against us, and/or to refrain from taking certain actions such as advancing additional funds to us or converting existing indebtedness into equity.
21
Should one or more of our creditors seek or demand payment, we do not have the resources to pay or satisfy any such debts. Thus, we face a risk of bankruptcy. In addition to having insufficient cash to pay our debts, we have insufficient funds to support our planned business operations. To pay our debts and to fund any future operations, we require significant new funds, which we may not be able to obtain. For more information regarding our convertible financing arrangements, see the financial statements included in this quarterly report and the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Amended 2011 10-K/A”).
Aside from the funds we require to pay our debts, we estimate that we must raise approximately $2 million over the next 12 months to fund capital requirements and general corporate expenses. If we fail to obtain sufficient funds to satisfy our debt obligations before a demand for payment by our creditors, and/or if we fail to obtain sufficient funds to satisfy our capital requirements and general corporate expenses, we will need to sell certain or all of our property interests in China (assuming the existence of an interested buyer), refrain from financially contributing to the future operations of Sino-Top, or, as mentioned above, go into bankruptcy proceedings. In the event of bankruptcy, our creditors would assert claims that could result in the total liquidation of the Company or, failing that, our creditors could acquire control of the Company and our existing stockholders could lose their entire investment.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to mineral rights, equity investment, plant and equipment, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the respective period.
We have identified below certain accounting policies that we believe are most important for the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Amended 2011 10-K/A.
Mineral Rights
We record our interest in mineral rights at cost. Exploration costs are expensed. Costs associated with acquisition and development of mineral reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized and are subject to ceiling tests to ensure the carrying value does not exceed the fair value.
Investments in unproved properties and major exploration projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the capitalized cost of the property will be added to the costs to be amortized. We presently have no proven reserves. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses whether the carrying values can be recovered. If the carrying values exceed estimated recoverable values, then the costs are written-down to fair values with the write-down expensed in the period.
Equity Investment
Equity investments are entities over which we exercise significant influence but do not exercise control. These are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost net of any accumulated impairment loss. Our share of these entities’ profits or losses after acquisition of our interest is recognized in the statement of operations and cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When our share of losses on these investments equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, we only recognize further losses where we have incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.
OFF BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in our financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our principal executive financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive financial and accounting officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date. This determination was a result of management becoming aware that material events had occurred in Mexico for several years prior to the Evaluation Date that were not reported to management on a timely basis. For a discussion of these events, please refer to our Amended 2011 10-K/A under the heading ““Item 1 Legal proceedings - Mexico
In connection with the preparation of this Amendment, we conducted a further evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive, financial and accounting officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were also not effective as of the Evaluation Date. The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:
| 1. | Lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor and part-time staff for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant financial accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor and part-time staff are not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting or consideration of certain transactions. |
| 2. | Lack of understanding of SEC disclosure obligations.Our management did not have a sufficient understanding of our SEC disclosure obligations, including our obligation to comply with Industry Guide 7. |
| 3. | Insufficient involvement of legal counsel.We did not involve external counsel sufficiently in the review of our SEC filings to mitigate such deficiency. |
| 4. | Inadequate financial staffing.Effective August 31, 2012, our chief financial officer resigned for personal reasons, and our part-time controller was appointed as our new chief financial officer on a part-time basis. Due to the Company’s limited financial resources, the position of controller remained vacant. Management has concluded that the aforementioned part-time arrangement of the chief financial officer, without additional financial personnel in support, was not adequate to ensure effective disclosure controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date. |
Changes in internal controls
Except as described above, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
23
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Amended 2011 10-K/A. The risk factors in our Amended 2011 10-K/A, in addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we deem to be immaterial could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks relating to our Business
Our staffing may be inadequate to support our legal and planned business requirements.
On September 30, 2012, the Company had 5 employees, of which 4 were full-time employees, and our finance group consisted of one part-time (approximately 40%) employee. This reduced level of staffing is primarily a result of the Company’s limited financial resources. Our limited staffing may adversely affect our ability to fulfill our SEC reporting and other legal requirements, including improvements to our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and to execute our planned business activities, including the raising of necessary capital. Limitations on staffing may require us to restrict our planned business activities. It also increases our reliance upon the efforts of Marc Hazout, our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is serving as our principal executive, financial and accounting officer as of the date of this filing. Any loss of additional staff, including any loss of Mr. Hazout’s services, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Risks relating to our Common Stock
We have been and may continue to be subject to regulatory actions that have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and price of our Common Stock, directly or indirectly through the effect of such actions on investor confidence.
On September 17, 2012, the SEC announced the temporary suspension, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act, of trading in the securities of the Company, commencing at 9:30 a.m. EDT on September 17, 2012, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. EDT on September 28, 2012. The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of the Company because of questions regarding the adequacy and accuracy of information about the Company, including its assets, business operations, current financial condition and/or issuances of shares in company stock.
Following this type of trading suspension, a broker-dealer generally may not solicit investors to buy or sell the previously-suspended over-the-counter stock until certain requirements are met. A broker-dealer must file and clear with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) a Form 211 representing that it has satisfied all applicable requirements, including those of Rule 15c2-11 and FINRA Rule 6432. Rule 15c2-11 requires, among other things, that broker-dealers review and maintain certain information regarding an issuer and have a reasonable basis under the circumstances for believing that the information is accurate in all material respects and the sources of the information are reliable
Following the trading suspension, the Company announced that it intended to work diligently to address the SEC’s concerns and the current limitations on trading in the Company’s stock by:
- Conducting a detailed review of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2012 and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the 2011 fiscal year;
- Undertaking a detailed review of the Company’s other regulatory and non-regulatory disclosures;
- Conducting a review of the Company’s disclosure processes and policies;
- Filing amendments to certain of the Company’s filings with the SEC; and
- Working with one or more broker dealers to review the information necessary to permit a broker dealer to submit a Form 211 with FINRA, and the resumption of trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
Concurrently with the filing of this report, the Company is filing the Amended 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the first and second quarters of 2012, and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company has not yet identified a broker-dealer to submit a Form 211 with FINRA. There can be no assurance that the SEC will be satisfied with the Company’s amended and new disclosures, that the Company will identify a broker-dealer to submit the Form 211, that FINRA will accept it, or that the SEC or other regulators or third parties will not take further legal or regulatory actions against Company if they are not satisfied with the Company’s amended and new disclosures, or with respect to any actual or perceived deficiencies in the Company’s prior disclosures. Any such actions, or lack of investor confidence, may have a material adverse effect on the Company and the liquidity and price of the Common Stock.
