Our services do not include signing any filings submitted to or filed with the SEC.

The interpretation of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the application of the principles to specific transactions and events is subjective and subject to interpretation. Management of the Company is advised that the Company's independent audit firm, certain regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or others may interpret the application of the accounting principles arising from the engagement differently and require change or restatement. Although we will assist management in reconciling any differing interpretations, the Company and management agree to hold our firm harmless for any costs or delays that may arise or be incurred as a result of differing interpretations.

The application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America may require specialized services, such as certain valuation services, that we are not able to provide. In the event that the services of a specialist are required to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we will advise you promptly and you will seek out a qualified specialist in the specialized field to perform the service. The cost of any service of a specialist will be borne entirely by the Company.

The fair presentation of the Company's financial statements is the responsibility of management. Management is responsible for the final decisions on the appropriate adjustments to the financial statements for matters arising from this engagement. Our responsibility is limited to reviewing the available information and providing our views of the accounting based upon the facts and circumstances. We will not audit any financial statements or render an opinion of any nature. Any assistance provided in the preparation of financial statements is undertaken on behalf of Management and is within the context of the advisory services described above. Accordingly, our engagement can not be relied upon to detect reportable conditions, errors or fraud in the financial statements or their preparation.

 

Our fees for these services will be as follows:

 

Our fees for the services described in this letter will be based upon the actual hours (or portions thereof) incurred for services described in this letter or mutually agreed to by both parties. The cost for our services is $125 per hour plus expenses.

As is customary for services of this nature, we will collect an initial retainer of $4,000 upon execution of this letter and an additional retainer when we have incurred fees which substantially used the initial retainer. The retainer amount will be applied to the invoices for the services described in this letter. We will provide you periodic progress bills, typically every two weeks, which will reflect the actual hours spent in the services provided at the aforementioned rates, plus our direct expenses. If we or the Company chooses to terminate our services, we will return any unused retainer.
