The Company has received a number of new questions regarding a reverse split of the stock. The Company is currently focused on filing a Form 10 with the SEC. As a result, the Company has decided not to do a reverse split of the stock at this time. The Company's Board of Directors had previously decided to reevaluate this decision after the expected shareholder meeting in September; however, the Board has decided to do the reevaluation after the Form 10 is effective (which is expected to occur sometime in November 2013). The current officers and directors have been in their positions for less than 2 weeks and need more time to properly evaluate the Company and would prefer such evaluation to occur after the reverse merger is completed.
