Thanks Aleta for responding to Mike.. Mike, as Aleta passed along, I received a Q&A document from Tom Burgess via email to pass along to the SI thread on March 13, 1998. Question and answer #15 indicates that Tom had expected that the audited financials would be completed by the Big 6 firm by March 31, 1998. If the Big 6 firm is done on that date, or soon thereafter, that would be a major accomplishment........
