If any ansswers in Section 9 of the Form MA is answered yes, the DRP form that must be completed does not allow the MA to be accepted and creates an "internal Error" from the EDGAR filing system. We contacted EDGAR filing support at (202)551-8900, option 3 and spoke with the agent, Paula Culver, multiple times to attempt to resolve the technical issue in submitting the Form MA. She suggested a number of possible fixes, but at this point, we have been unable to successfully submit a Form MA with a DRP form included, as required. We have submitted information in writing (through electronic email) detailing our technical issue as requested by Paula Culver with the relevant information she required. A support ticket has been created to look into the technical issue, but no time frame has been given as to when the issue will be resolved. Based on our MA-I registration number, we are required to submit the Form MA and Form MA-Is by July 31, 2014. We have been able to submit all the requisite Form MA-Is for our professionals, but have not been able to submit the firm's Form MA with questions in Section 9 answered correctly. In order to work around the technical issue of submitting the DRP with our Form MA, we are having to answer questions 9-C(2), 9-C(4) and 9-C(5) with a "No" instead of a "Yes". Douglas E. Carter's MA-I correctly identifies a SEC related regulatory occurrance and gives the yes answers that would have been included in the Firm's Form MA. Doug Carter's MA-I has been submitted with the accurate DRP form and is currently pending approval in the EDGAR filing system (Accession Number 0001611606-14-000001). Once the technical difficulties on the SEC system have been completed, the Firm will file an updated Form MA. By this disclosure we wish to identify actions we are taking to make our signature certification be true and accurate on this Form MA.
