Due to having insufficient funds for payments to, among others, the independent registered public accounting firm that audits the annual consolidated financial statements of Nord Resources Corporation (the “Company”), the Company is currently unable to complete its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company is actively pursuing several possible financing alternatives as a means to increase the Company's available cash to fund operational needs. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any such financing transaction to pay such service providers. While no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in consummating any financing transactions, the Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K subject to, and within 45 days following, receipt of any such funds.
