The bankruptcy hearing has been held without claim and is pending discharge. There is no effect on the capital structure; the company maintains approximately 52 million shares outstanding with approximately 20 million in the public float.
In the interim we have aggressively started the process to update our financials and engage in new business opportunities to create value for our shareholders. We anticipate having all of the financials updated by no later than the third quarter ending September 30th, 2012. We have put up a simple website to provide information while going through this process.
