Basis for Review Results
This (These) interim financial information (statements) is (are) the responsibility of the Company's
management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"). A review of interim financial information
(statements) consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Modification of the Accountant's Review Report
.41 The accountant's report on a review of interim financial information should be modified for departures
from generally accepted accounting principles, which include inadequate disclosure and changes in
accounting principle that are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The existence of
substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern or a lack of consistency in the
application of accounting principles affecting the interim financial information would not require the accountant
to add an additional paragraph to the report, provided that the interim financial information appropriately
discloses such matters. Although not required, the accountant may wish to emphasize such matters in a
separate explanatory paragraph of the report. See paragraphs .44 and .45 of this section for examples of
paragraphs that address matters related to an entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
.42 Departure from generally accepted accounting principles. If the accountant becomes aware that the
interim financial information is materially affected by a departure from generally accepted accounting
principles, he or she should modify the report. The modification should describe the nature of the departure
and, if practicable, should state the effects on the interim financial information. Following is an example of
such a modification of the accountant's report.
Based on our review, with the exception of the matter(s) described in the following paragraph(s), we are
not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial
information (statements) for it (them) to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
