Form
10-K for the Year Ended December 31,
2008
|
This
letter is written with the intent to explain and clarify management’s intent
with respect to the re-filing of our Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. As discussed in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A
filed October 27, 2009, the Company’s financial statements as of December 31,
2008, included in Form 10-K/A as filed on August 25, 2009, could not be relied
upon, as a result of the revocation of the registration of our former auditor of
record, Moore & Associates, LLC. In addition, it was determined
by our Board of Directors that the aforementioned financial statements contained
errors with respect to certain contingent liabilities not properly
recorded. For these reasons, we have engaged M&K CPAs, PLLC, to
perform a re-audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008. M&K will also be auditing our financial
statements for the 2009 fiscal year.
It is our
intention to file a 10-K/A including our re-audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2008, on or around February 28, 2010. We
expect to file our 2009 Form 10-K around this same time. This
estimate is based on the assumption that M&K CPAs, PLLC will be able to
complete their audit procedures in a timely manner, and that we will respond to
and satisfy their inquiries in a timely manner. If any events or
communications transpire prior to February 28, 2010 that lead us to conclude we
will not meet this time estimate, we will promptly communicate our revised
estimate to the Commission.
Please
feel free to contact us at any time with any further questions or
comments.
Sincerely,
