For the period ending December 31, 2003, Deloitte and Touche has been engaged to complete the two reports. The trust outsourcing business is located in Rutland VT. At this time, the Rutland VT SAS70 is complete and available for review. The TPA, Wealth Management, and Administration businesses are located in Stamford CT. The Stamford CT report is still underway. The final report is expected to be available in a short time period. However, it is highly unlikely to be complete by June 28, 2004.
