Dear Chief Judge Yoder, 

I am writing to inform you that parties in the matter of M & R Helicopters were unable to 

negotiate settlement based on Dr. Selig's claim of linancial hardship, fhe documents 

provided by Dr. Selig are not sufficient to assess the financial state of M & R Helicopters. 

Coniplainant requested complete Federal Income Tax fbrms for 2007,2008, and 2009» 

including all schedules. Dr. Selig provided only a Schedule C for 2007. 2008, and 2009. 

The complete Tederal Income Tax retums Lo which these schedules were attached have 

not been provided. Schedule C, as with any schedule, is only an ^iitachmcnt to the income 

lax return and cannot be read or interpreted in isolation. Without the complete Federal 

Income Tax retums, an analysis of the company's financial .state cannot be completed. 

Dr. Selig also provided M & R Helicopters' 2008 PA State Income Tax Return, but this is 

similarly insufficient to establish proof of financial hardship. Because Lbe documenis are 

insufficient to allow for an analysis of M & R's financial stale, negotiating settlement on 

that basis is not possible. 

Sincerely, 

( XAura Ponto
