LASIK AMERICA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JANUARY 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements in this report have been prepared by Lasik America, Inc. without audit, pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended July 31, 2002, included in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2003.
In the opinion of management, information included in this report reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods.
The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2003.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new Statements of Financial Accounting Standards.
Statements No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" supercedes APB Opinion 17 and related interpretations. Statement No. 142 establishes new rules on accounting for the acquisition of intangible assets not acquired in a business combination and the manner in which goodwill and all other intangibles should be accounted for subsequent to their initial recognition in a business combination accounted for under SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets should be recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized over such period and those with indefinite lives should not be amortized. All intangible assets being amortized as well as those that are not, are both subject to review for potential impairment under SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Dispose of". SFAS No. 142 also requires that goodwill arising in a business combination should not be amortized but is subject to impairment testing at the reporting unit level to which the goodwill was assigned to at the date of the business combination.
SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and must be applied as of the beginning of such year to all goodwill and other intangible assets that have already been recorded in the balance sheet as of the first day in which SFAS No. 142 is initially applied, regardless of when such assets were acquired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination whose acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2001, should not be amortized, but should be reviewed for impairment pursuant to SFAS No. 121, even though SFAS No. 142 has not yet been adopted. However, previously acquired goodwill should continue to be amortized until SFAS No. 142 is first adopted.
Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other type of disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or normal operation of such assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and a portion of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations". This statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale.
Classifications as held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not deprecated and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. This statement also requires expected future operating losses for discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS 145 rescinds the provisions of SFAS No. 4 that requires companies to classify certain gains and losses from debt extinguishments as extraordinary items, eliminates the provisions of SFAS No. 44 regarding transition to the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and amends the provisions of SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications be treated as sale leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to classification of debt extinguishments are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application is encouraged.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Restructuring Costs." SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity (including restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and contracts and relocating plant facilities or personnel. Under SFAS 146, the Company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. SFAS 146 will require the Company to disclose information about its exit and disposal activities, the related costs, and changes in those costs in the notes to the interim and annual financial statements that include the period in which an exit activity is initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is completed. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. Under SFAS 146, a company cannot restate its previously issued financial statements and the new statement grandfathers the accounting for liabilities that a company had previously recorded under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transaction and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and provides alternative methods for accounting for a change by registrants to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Additionally, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosure in the significant accounting policy footnote of both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock based compensation and the related pro forma disclosures when the intrinsic value method continues to be used. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and disclosures are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2002.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. This Statement shall be effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, as to which the effective date is for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003.
The adoption of these pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3: NET LOSS PER SHARE
In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128 supercedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective March 21, 2001.
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the earnings net (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated assuming the issuance of common shares resulting from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Dilutive securities are not included in the calculation of loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2003 and 2002.

The Company's CEO has entered into a loan agreement for the acquisition of the excimer laser used in the operations of the Company. By oral agreement, the Company is acquiring the laser from the CEO under terms which mirror the original loan agreement. This loan bears interest at 10% per annum with interest and principal payable in monthly installments of approximately $6,200. The note is secured by a first security interest in the excimer laser and related equipment. The note is due in November 2003. | $ | 64,769 | $ | 97,683 |

NOTE 5: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the six months ended January 31, 2003, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $19,980 of cash.
F-5
NOTE 6: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a net loss of $119,496 for the six months ended January 31, 2003, and a working capital deficiency of $700,451 and shareholders' deficiency of $604,991 as of January 31, 2003 which raises substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management believes that actions are presently being taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements in order to improve the Company's financial position and operating results. However, given the levels of its cash resources and working capital deficiency at January 31, 2003, anticipated cash to be generated by operations will be insufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for operations, working capital, and capital expenditures during the next twelve month period. Therefore, the Company is seeking additional equity or debt financing, but there can be no assurance that sufficient additional financing will be available.
NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
On or about December 17, 2002, a charge of discrimination against the Company was filed with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC") by an employee, alleging that she was terminated without a valid reason and denied severance benefits in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended.
The Company has responded to and denied the charge, stating that the employee was a probationary employee that was terminated due to the elimination of her position because of a lack of sufficient business that would justify her position, and the duties assigned to her were then reassigned to another employee with greater seniority.
The Company also denied the employee's factually incorrect allegations that another employee was given a severance package and that she was replaced by another employee. This matter is currently under investigation and is pending in the EEOC office located in Houston, Texas. The Company intends to vigorously contest the charge, and it expects a favorable outcome and a finding of no probable cause by the EEOC. Should the employee then elect to file a lawsuit, which the Company believes to be unlikely, the Company believes that any such complaint would conclude with a favorable outcome to the Company.
Delinquent Payroll and Gross Receipts Taxes
The Company became delinquent on employment taxes payable to the Internal Revenue Service and on gross receipts taxes payable to the State of New Mexico. The liability for these taxes has been shown on the balance sheet as of January 31, 2003. The Company has started negotiations with both the Internal Revenue Service and the State of New Mexico to establish payment plans and expects to payoff the entire amount of taxes owed.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following information should be read in conjunction with the information in Item 7, Financial Statements, and other information regarding our financials performance for the period covered by this report included elsewhere in this report. The following discussions and other parts of this report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in those forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, our history of unprofitability and the uncertainty of our profitability, our ability to develop and introduce new services and products, the uncertainty of market acceptance of those services or products, our potential reliance on collaborative partners, our limited sales and marketing experience, the highly competitive industries in which we operate and general economic and business conditions, some or all of which may be beyond our ability to control.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and Results of operations
The following management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a medical services company that focuses on delivering laser vision correction surgical procedures to consumers. Our affiliated and employed doctors provide medical care to our clients and we provide the necessary equipment, technical staff, administrative services and the excimer laser, needed for the delivery of laser eye surgery to our clients. We do not practice medicine, rather our affiliated and employed doctors deliver medical care and treatment to eye surgery patients.
We were incorporated on March 21, 2001 as LASIK America, Inc. In October 1995 and in March 1996, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the use of excimer lasers manufactured by Summit Technology, Inc. and VISX, Inc., to treat low to moderate nearsightedness. In May 2001, we opened our first excimer laser center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our plan of expansion includes opening at least one additional laser vision center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Our doctors perform laser vision correction surgery procedures in our New Mexico center office. We provide our ophthalmologist and optometrist with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities as well as support services necessary to perform vision correction procedures. At present we have one affiliated ophthalmologist, one employed ophthalmologist and one employed optometrist in our center. Our affiliated doctor uses our center to perform laser vision correction surgery on his own patients. In that case, our affiliated doctor relies on us only to provide our state-of-the art laser vision surgery center, equipment and facilities for surgical procedures performed on his own patients. In contrast, our employed doctor performs surgery on clients of our center, which includes delivery of pre and post-operative care. We generate our revenue on the number of surgical procedures we conduct in our center. Currently we receive $440.00 per eye on procedures performed by our affiliated doctor, which is paid to us by our affiliated doctor, and $995.00 per eye on procedures performed by our employed doctor.
Although we have no written agreements with our affiliated or employed doctors, we have agreed to compensate our employed ophthalmologist at the rate of $200,000 per year and our employed optometrist at the rate of $105,000 per year.
To date, the supply of our excimer laser and related equipment has come through agreements that we have entered into with DVI Financial, Inc., Bausch & Lomb, Inc., and a patent license with VISX, Incorporated. In the event that we would not be able to obtain additional excimer lasers and related equipment from these providers, we believe that other satisfactory sources of supply are available now that the FDA has approved additional manufacturers of excimer lasers.
Our plan of operation
We believe that our New Mexico center now in operation can sustain its current operations on current revenue and what we believe will be increased usage of our center by new clients generated from our advertising and marketing efforts, as well as general client awareness of the laser vision correction procedure. At current levels, we are generating a net loss from operations. With current revenues, we have experienced a continuing increase in the number of surgical procedures performed in our center primarily, by dedicating three of our employees to new client development and advertising locally through the placement of kiosks in local shopping malls where high pedestrian traffic exists. Our New Mexico center has the capacity to perform approximately 100 eye surgery procedures each week and at present, we are performing approximately 20 eye surgeries each week.
We currently generate on average approximately $111,855 per month in gross revenue and believe that we will require approximately $114,800 in gross revenue during the next 12 months to maintain our existing operations. We believe that our cash requirements during the next 12 months will be satisfied through an increase in the number of clients and eye surgery procedures, expected from our advertising and marketing efforts.
Results of operations
Revenues
We derive our revenues directly from the number of laser vision surgical procedures performed at our center. Procedures performed by our affiliated doctor generate revenue to us from the physician, who collects a fee from the patient. Procedures performed by our employed doctor generate revenue directly to us from the patient. Revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2003 totaled $335,318 as compared to $322,207 for the quarter ended January 31, 2002. Revenues for the six-months ended January 31, 2003 totaled $671,131 as compared to $615,420 for the six-months ended January 31, 2002. Total revenue is predicated on the number of procedures of laser vision correction we performed during the period.
Operating Costs
Operating costs consist of doctor fees, royalty fees, medical supplies, salaries, wages and related costs for general corporate functions. The total operating costs for the quarter ended January 31, 2003 was $339,620 as compared to $327,131 for the quarter ended January 31, 2002. The total operating costs for the six-months ended January 31, 2003 was $726,200 as compared to $660,601 for the six-months ended January 31, 2002. Royalty fees are payable to the licensor of the excimer laser we use for surgical procedures and is currently $110.00 per eye.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense from the depreciation of capital items acquired for use in our operations amounted to $21,736 for the quarter ended January 31, 2003 as compared to $14,884 for the quarter ended January 31, 2002. Depreciation expense from the depreciation of capital items acquired for use in our operations amounted to $43,472 for the six-months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to $26,757 for the six-months ended January 31, 2002.
Interest expense
The Company has an interest expense of $11,978 for the quarter ended January 31, 2003 as compared to $8,116 for the quarter ended January 31, 2002. The Company has an interest expense of $20,955 for the six-months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to $12,992 for the six-months ended January 31, 2002.
Net loss
Our net loss for the quarter ended January 31, 2003 was $38,016 as compared to a loss of $50,424 for the quarter ended January 31, 2002. Our net loss for the six-months ended January 31, 2003 was $119,496 as compared to a loss of $129,930 for the six-months ended January 31, 2002.
Liquidity and capital resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations through revenues and capital raised through the sale of our common stock. As of January 31, 2003, we had a bank overdraft of $6,727. In order to effectuate our business plan as structured we will need to raise significant capital from external sources. In addition, we intend on raising capital internally through the increase in the number of procedures we perform. We currently do not have a credit facility or any commitments for additional financing.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new Statements of Financial Accounting Standards.
Statements No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" supercedes APB Opinion 17 and related interpretations. Statement No. 142 establishes new rules on accounting for the acquisition of intangible assets not acquired in a business combination and the manner in which goodwill and all other intangibles should be accounted for subsequent to their initial recognition in a business combination accounted for under SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets should be recorded at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives should be amortized over such period and those with indefinite lives should not be amortized. All intangible assets being amortized as well as those that are not, are both subject to review for potential impairment under SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Dispose of". SFAS No. 142 also requires that goodwill arising in a business combination should not be amortized but is subject to impairment testing at the reporting unit level to which the goodwill was assigned to at the date of the business combination.
SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and must be applied as of the beginning of such year to all goodwill and other intangible assets that have already been recorded in the balance sheet as of the first day in which SFAS No. 142 is initially applied, regardless of when such assets were acquired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination whose acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2001, should not be amortized, but should be reviewed for impairment pursuant to SFAS No. 121, even though SFAS No. 142 has not yet been adopted. However, previously acquired goodwill should continue to be amortized until SFAS No. 142 is first adopted.
Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other type of disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or normal operation of such assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and a portion of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations". This statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale.
Classifications as held-for-sale is an important distinction since such assets are not deprecated and are stated at the lower of fair value and carrying amount. This statement also requires expected future operating losses for discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date as presently required.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS 145 rescinds the provisions of SFAS No. 4 that requires companies to classify certain gains and losses from debt extinguishments as extraordinary items, eliminates the provisions of SFAS No. 44 regarding transition to the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and amends the provisions of SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications be treated as sale leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to classification of debt extinguishments are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application is encouraged. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Restructuring Costs." SFAS 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity (including restructuring) or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can include eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and contracts and relocating plant facilities or personnel. Under SFAS 146, the Company will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. SFAS 146 will require the Company to disclose information about its exit and disposal activities, the related costs, and changes in those costs in the notes to the interim and annual financial statements that include the period in which an exit activity is initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is completed. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. Under SFAS 146, a company cannot restate its previously issued financial statements and the new statement grandfathers the accounting for liabilities that a company had previously recorded under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transaction and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and provides alternative methods for accounting for a change by registrants to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Additionally, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosure in the significant accounting policy footnote of both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock based compensation and the related pro forma disclosures when the intrinsic value method continues to be used. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and disclosures are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2002.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. This Statement shall be effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, as to which the effective date is for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003.
The adoption of these pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on an evaluation conducted within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures have functioned effectively so as to provide those officers the information necessary whether:
(i) this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, and
(ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors since the date of the Chief Executive Officer's and Chief Financial Officer's evaluation that could significantly affect these internal controls, including any corrective actions with regards to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On or about December 17, 2002, a charge of discrimination against the Company was filed with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC") by a former employee, alleging that she was terminated without a valid reason and denied severance benefits in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended.
The Company has responded to and denied the charge, stating that the former employee, a probationary employee, was terminated due to the elimination of her position because of a lack of sufficient business that would justify her position, and the duties assigned to her were then reassigned to another employee with greater seniority.
The Company also denied the former employee’s factually incorrect allegations that another employee was given a severance package and that she was replaced by another employee. This matter is currently under investigation and is pending in the EEOC office located at 1919 Smith Street, Houston, Texas, 77002. The Company intends to vigorously contest the charge, and it expects a favorable outcome and a finding of no probable cause by the EEOC. Should the former employee then elect to file a lawsuit, which the Company believes to be unlikely, the Company believes that any such complaint would conclude with a favorable outcome to the Company.
