Miller, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, who resigned as an officer of the Company and from the Board in July 2013, and the Company made an offer of settlement to the SEC to resolve the matter. The SEC announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Company, whereby the Company will pay a $750,000 civil penalty to the SEC to resolve this matter without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings. This amount was fully reserved in the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
