Cheryl, perhaps you would like to comment on:

1) the increase in "doubtful accounts" of $977,000 last quarter?

2) the substantial increase in A/R last quarter?

With regards to the statement from Mr. Kelsall, he is mostly correct. However, if TAVA continues to have significant increases in their "doubtful accounts" and A/R, GAAP requires that they stop the business practice that leads to these increases. In TAVA's case, this appears to be the booking of revenue on a percent completion basis without billing for the work. Check with Mr. Kelsall, he will confirm this.

Also - instead of repeating the Company line - consider the facts! TAVA reported a gain of $301K, but their cash (excluding financing) declined by over $3.4 Million!!! This is called "aggressive accounting", it appears perfectly legal but the details indicate that TAVA is a Company in serious trouble.

Regards, Bill
