Dhru Desai, Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Although we experienced a long delay in completing the audit to be able to publish our year-end results, we are gratified that that our financial results were better than originally anticipated. Issues with scheduling and other issues arising from the transition from our prior audit firm contributed to the prolonged delay. Since the Company announced the appointment of Sassetti, LLP, as its new independent registered public accounting firm, I can confidently say that we are now on the right track in terms of a more efficient and timely dissemination of our financial filings for the future."
