We do not have the ability, internally or through the use of a qualified outside party, to independently prepare or review financial statements and related footnote disclosures. We also do not have the financial means to hire a qualified accounting staff to prepare or review financial statements, etc. We have outsourced certain routine accounting matters to an outside 3rd party bookkeeping firm which provides payroll reporting and payroll tax services, and some oversight of other various accounting matters as needed. The accounting staff that we do have (one person) is working to minimize the increased work at year-end by improving and enhancing internal accounting controls, systems and functions with greater efficiency and improved consistency. We continue to believe that this is helping.
