PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
On August 27, 2009, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) revoked the registration of Moore, the Company’s previous independent registered public accounting firm. This action was because of violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality controls standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperation with a PCAOB investigation. As a result, the Company is required to have its new independent registered public accounting firm re-audit its December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements due to the revocation of Moore's registration. As a result, the new independent registered public accounting firm is requesting significant additional information to complete the re-audit of the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements as well as the December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements. Therefore the Company will be unable to file the Form 10-K in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.
