(Nasdaq: ACRT), a provider of financing, payment and processing solutions, today announced that Amos Aharoni, Actrade's founder, Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer, has resigned from all director and officer positions he holds with Actrade and its subsidiaries. Actrade also stated that Mr. Aharoni had declined to cooperate fully with the previously announced evaluation by its Audit Committee of anonymous allegations received by the Board that primarily related to possible irregularities and other alleged improprieties in the Company's IMT business formerly conducted by its Actrade Resources subsidiary. Actrade also announced that it expected to delay the filing of its Form 10K for the year ended June 30, 2002 in order to accommodate the Audit Committee's ongoing evaluation. At this time, it is not feasible to determine when the Audit Committee's evaluation will be completed and, accordingly, Actrade is not in a position to provide any further guidance as to when its Form 10K will be filed.
