Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On April 7, 2014, the Arizona Department of Revenue (the “Department”) advised America’s Suppliers, Inc. (the “Company”) of the initial results of the Transaction Privilege and Use Tax Audit it conducted of the Company’s two operating subsidiaries, DollarDays International, Inc. (“DollarDays”) and WowMyUniverse, Inc. (“Wow”). The Department audited the period from December 1, 2009 through November 30, 2013 for DollarDays and the period from December 1, 2010 through November 30, 2013 for Wow.

 

The Department has initially concluded that each of DollarDays and Wow owed additional Transaction Privilege and Use Tax for the applicable periods. The Department advised the Company that it believes DollarDays has an additional tax obligation of approximately $185,700, and together with penalty and interest, a total of approximately $199,500 is due and owing to the State of Arizona (the “State”). The Department further advised the Company that it believes Wow has an additional tax obligation of approximately $26,200, and together with penalty and interest, a total of approximately $31,600 is due and owing to the State.

 

The Company is currently conducting its own assessment of the respective tax obligations of DollarDays and Wow during the applicable periods. The Company does not believe that either DollarDays or Wow underpaid or underreported its respective tax obligations to the Department to the extent set forth in the Department’s initial assessment. The Company intends to contest the amounts the Department has assessed as being owed to the State following the final assessment from the Department in accordance with all applicable procedures and laws.
