During my short time on the board, I took my responsibility to the company and it's shareholders very seriously; however, it should be noted that my resignation is in protest to the abrupt change in direction and leadership which I find to be myopic, spurious, and, simply, troublesome.” The Company has not received any other letter or communication disagreeing with this disclosure, and if any is received will file such letter by amendment.
