to file accurate annual financials in a timely fashion, little communication
with the investment community and a total lack of transparency. In May of this

offering a final opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue in private and

management refused to enter into discussions and shareholders have been left
with no choice but to demand that the company call a special meeting of
shareholders.
