ITEM 1.02   TERMINATION OF MATERIAL AGREEMENT  

 

(A)

On February 14, 2014, the Registrant, Citadel EFT Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”) published a Form 8K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) announcing the entry into a Material Agreement with Carbon Development, Inc. entitled “Joint Venture Agreement”, incorporated herein by reference. On or about the same date, the Company published a press release announcing this same agreement to the general public. The Agreement, while failing to establish a joint venture entity, pledged Brazilian National Treasury Bonds to the Company to attempt collateralization of the Bonds.

 

On March 21, 2014, the Security and Exchange Commission issued an enforcement Order, incorporated herein by reference, suspending the Company’s ability to trade its stock. The reasons for the suspension expressed in the Order pointed directly to the Commissions to the Brazilian National Treasury Bonds as a matter of their concern.

 

On March 22, 2014, the Company published a press release, incorporated herein as EXHIBIT 99.1, announcing the rescission the Joint Venture Agreement.   The Company stated the reason for this action was due to the questions raised by the Commission and that after review with counsel and accounting consultants determined the transaction failed to meet the Company’s accounting guidelines and procedures.

 

These procedures affect the manner in which the Company accounts for, among other things, investment, expansion and acquisition of new lines of business, the process by which public information is disseminated. The Company’s securities counsel and accounting consultants have insisted on greater due diligence of material matters and on a strict review of all corporate responsible parties before the Board of Directors enters into and makes public material agreements.

 

The Company has notified Carbon Development in writing of its decision to not to go forward with this Agreement. The Agreement was an “arms-length” Agreement. There is no relationship other than the Agreement between the parties.

These procedures affect the manner in which the Company accounts for, among other things, investment, expansion and acquisition of new lines of business, the process by which public information is disseminated. The Company’s securities counsel and accounting consultants have insisted on greater due diligence of material matters and on a strict review of all corporate responsible parties before the Board of Directors enters into and makes public material agreements.

 

The Company first entered into an Agreement in the first quarter of the current fiscal year to participate in the SBLC financing agreement as one of multiple parties. The Company issued 4,400,000 restricted shares of its common stock to be held by the receiver of the shares in escrow for its participation in this financing arrangement. The Company in its first quarter financial statements reported as an expense $10,000,000 the fair market value of the shares issued. However, the Company has not recorded any value to the SBLC at the insistence of its accounting consultants and internal auditor,

 

The Company has notified the other parties to the financing agreement in writing of its decision to not to go forward with this Agreement. The Agreement was an “arms-length” Agreement. There is no relationship other than the Agreement between the parties. The Company is discussing with its legal counsel the form and manner in which to make demand for the consideration exchanged in this transaction.
