San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/27/2012 -- A deadline is coming up on December 12, 2012 in the lawsuit filed for investors of Chanticleer Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:HOTR) over alleged securities laws violations.

According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida the plaintiff alleges on behalf of investors who purchased units and shares pursuant or traceable to Chanticleer Holdings 's June 21, 2012, secondary offering that Chanticleer Holdings allegedly falsely represented that the financial statements for its South African operations, accounting for a majority of its revenues, had been audited. In reality, so the plaintiff, they had not been audited and when Chanticleer Holdings disclosed that the financial statements for its South African operations had not been audited, the NASDAQ halted trading in Chanticleer's stock and warrants.

On September 10, 2012, Chanticleer Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:HOTR) announced that on September 7, 2012, its audit committee, upon recommendation of Chanticleer Holdings’ management determined that Chanticleer Holdings’ consolidated Financial Statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 and the interim unaudited financial statements for its fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 could no longer be relied on. Chanticleer Holdings said it determined that the audited financial statements of Kiarabrite (Pty) Ltd., Dimaflo (Pty) Ltd., Tundraspex (Pty) Ltd., Civisign (Pty) Ltd. and Dimalogix (Pty) Ltd. which are the South African management company and the four entities setup for the stores Chanticleer Holdings operates in South Africa, were not audited as the Company was led to believe. The CFO and Director of Chanticleer Holdings’ South Africa Operations has resigned effective immediately.

NASDAQ:HOTR closed on September 7, 2012, at $3.64 per share.
