Environmental Challenges
- The compilation, dissemination, review and finalization of the information required to be presented in the Form 10-K report could not be completed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. This was due to a change in independent registered public accounting firms at the end of the fiscal year, resulting in a late start to audit planning and the audit itself.
Mitigation Strategies
- Engaged Haynie & Company as the new independent registered public accounting firm.
