"Since that announcement, these constraints have become amplified and have now reached a point where they are having a material adverse impact on the Company's operations, including resulting in the Company no longer being able to provide certain payment processing services.

"A preliminary view is that the amount of these cheques totals approximately US$100 million. The existence of these cheques has only recently been brought to the attention of the Board and urgent investigations are ongoing," Finablr said.
