Part III – Narrative

 

Our outside auditors have not completed their work in connection with compiling the financial information that is a part of the Form 10-K. It is expected that the work will be completed within the extended filing period.

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION (Response Addendum to Section (3))

We completed an equity raise under a registered offering which resulted in net proceeds of $45,135,280 to the company after related expenses, and made an acquisition of Orbital Gas Systems in April 2013 which will contribute to increased financial assets and liabilities as well as revenues, expenses and results.

 

Additionally, Orbital Gas Systems, our wholly owned subsidiary, is a company registered, located and doing business in the United Kingdom, which requires substantial effort and time to bring this company and its various divisions into full compliance with U.S. GAAP and U.S. regulatory compliance for inclusion in the consolidated results of CUI Global, Inc.
