On February 22, 2010, Veltex Corporation (PINKSHEETS: VLXC)
announced that the corporation had engaged the services of Blecher
& Collins, P.C., a nationally acclaimed business litigation
firm, to recover damages to the corporation by various entities and
individuals. Blecher & Collins had been retained to commence
the prosecution of claims against former officers and directors,
law firms, accounting and bookkeeping firms, and transfer agents,
and to investigate and pursue potential claims against banks.
Maxwell M. Blecher and Maryann R. Marzano pilot the litigation team
on behalf of Veltex Corporation.
In August of 2008, Utah state court Judge Kate A. Toomey removed
the past and former board of directors and management, which
included Javeed A. Matin, Saasha Campbell and Mazhar Ul Haque.
The new current Veltex board of directors, which were elected by
the shareholders in 2009, and management, are fully dedicated and
determined to seeing the that all property which has been
wrongfully removed be returned to the corporation with maximum
value and in a timely fashion.
On March 10, 2010, Blecher & Collins filed a 96 page federal
complaint on behalf of Veltex Corporation in the United States
District Court, Central District of California (Western Division -
Los Angeles) entitled, Veltex Corporation vs. Javeed Azziz Matin et
al, case number 2:10-cv-01746-ABC-PJW. That case alleges damages
from 22 individual and corporate defendants in excess of
$35,000,000 (Thirty Five Million) dollars. The corporation believes
that the final total damages could be substantially higher given
the amount of fraudulent transfer and conveyance of corporate
assets discovered to date. The investigation and accounting of
damages is continuing.
On July 16, 2010, Blecher & Collins, on behalf of Veltex
Corporation, filed a 330 page (including exhibits) First Amended
Complaint with the Court. To date, numerous defendants have been
found in default by the clerk of the Court and one individual
defendant has settled with the corporation under a Confidential and
Non-Disclosure Agreement. The Court has set a trial date for
January 2012. The corporation is currently reviewing individual
state claims against certain named defendants.
On November 1, 2010, the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, the SEC, filed a parallel suit in the United States
District Court, Central District of California entitled, Securities
and Exchange Commission vs. Javeed A. Matin and Wilshire Equity,
Inc., case number 5-2010cv01686. That case alleges similar counts
to Veltex's claim and is against two defendants, Javeed A. Matin
and Wilshire Equity, Inc., that the corporation has also named in
the March 10, 2010 complaint.

Order instituting a Cease-and-Desist Proceeding and a
Cease-and-Desist Order against Mazhar Ul Haque. Mr. Haque is also a
named individual defendant in the corporations March 10, 2010
complaint.
On December 29, 2009, Veltex Corporation filed an Adversary
Proceeding complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court in case
2:09-AP-03558-PC against former Veltex receiver Lee G. Scharf
alleging willful and malicious conduct and breach of fiduciary
duty, among others. Damages to the corporation alleged in the
complaint are in excess of $500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand)
dollars. Mr. Scharf filed for bankruptcy on September 9, 2009.

been retained by Veltex and attorney Jeffery L. Silvestrini is lead
counsel in the matter pending against Mr. Scharf in Utah State
Court before the Honorable Kate A. Toomey.
On February 24, 2010, Veltex Corporation entered in a Standstill
and Confidentiality Agreement with a major Los Angeles private
corporation. Due diligence has been conducted and completed,
however, due to the fluidity of the monetary damages to Veltex and
until such time that values can be placed in regards to the current
litigation, both firms have agreed to remain in place and
reestablish talks that may result in better financial terms for
