This is just one step of many that our Company has undertaken towards improving our Company transparency and in efforts to improve the market and performance of our common stock. We will now turn our focus towards implementing further policies towards the achievement of even greater corporate governance by taking the steps necessary to be eligible for a senior exchange listing or dual listing on a foreign exchange. I would like to wish all of our shareholders and supporters a very Happy New Year and I look forward to sharing our continued growth with shareholders in 2012 and beyond."
