Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On August 3, 1994, PCS Edventures!.com, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of Idaho under the name PCS Education Systems, Inc. In November 1994, the Company exchanged common stock for stock of PCS Schools, Inc., a corporation engaged in operating stand-alone learning laboratories. As a result, PCS Schools, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the late 1990s, the Company divested the stand-alone learning labs to focus on development of hands-on modules coupled with web-based technology for use in the classroom and to market and sell web-based and site-licensable educational products.
On March 27, 2000, the Company changed its name from PCS Education Systems, Inc. to PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.
Effective November 30, 2005, the Company acquired 511092 N.B. Ltd. dba LabMentors, a Canadian corporation (LabMentors), through a share exchange as disclosed in the 8-K Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 9, 2005, and amended on February 15, 2006. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, LabMentors became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December 2005, the name of this subsidiary was changed to PCS LabMentors, Ltd.
NOTE 2 - UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements presented herein are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The December 31, 2009, consolidated balance sheet is derived from the audited balance sheet included therein.
The operating results for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The established sources of revenues are not sufficient to cover the Companys operating costs. Although the Company has positive working capital, it has accumulated significant losses. The combination of these items raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with respect to alleviating this adverse position are as follows:
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company continued to strengthen its strategic alliances with KNEX, Science Demo, fischertechnik, MR Block, Integrating Technology, Minds-i, Follette, and Eduwise for further product development and enhancement. The Company has developed and continues to refine defined plans to align product development and marketing efforts to further penetrate the educational market. The marketing campaign is focused on distinct segments within the education market to more clearly communicate our products competitive positioning in both the domestic and international markets. Additionally, the Company is actively developing branding, product identity, and messaging that is specifically aligned to target market segments.

(unaudited)
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (continued)
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - FIXED ASSETS
Assets and depreciation for the periods are as follows:
| December 31, | March 31, |
| 2009 | 2009 |
Computer/office equipment | $ - | $ 19,606 |
Server equipment | 149,711 | 114,105 |
Software | 127,355 | 90,375 |
Accumulated depreciation | (138,398) | (110,424) |
Total Fixed Assets | $ 138,668 | $ 113,662 |
NOTE 5 - EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE
The Companys inventory consists of internally developed educational computer programs and student exercises designed to be accessed on the Internet. The costs associated with research and initial feasibility of the programs and exercises are expensed as incurred. Once economic feasibility has been determined, the costs to develop the programs and exercises are capitalized until the products are ready for sale and Internet access by customers and are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized program and exercise inventory costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 36 to 48 months.
NOTE 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Companys intellectual property consists of capitalized costs associated with the development of the Internet software and delivery platform developed by the Company to enable customer access to the various educational programs and exercises developed by the Company. The initial costs associated with researching the delivery platform and methods were expensed until economic feasibility and acceptance were determined. Thereafter, costs incurred to develop the Internet delivery platform and related environments were capitalized until the platform and environments were ready for use and able to provide our customers with Internet access to the Companys educational programs and exercises. Costs incurred thereafter to maintain the delivery and access platform are expensed as incurred. These capitalized costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the delivery and access platform, which has been determined to be 36 to 60 months.
NOTE 7 - GOODWILL
The goodwill balance of $202,688 at December 31, 2009, is related to the Companys acquisition of PCS LabMentors in December 2005. With the acquisition of PCS LabMentors, the Company gained LabMentors significant interest in the technical college market and increased the products available to educational outlets. The Company also obtained the information technology and programming expertise of LabMentors workforce, additional cost optimization, and greater market flexibility in optimizing market information and access to collegiate level sales.

NOTE 7 GOODWILL (continued)
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized to expense and must be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment might have occurred. The first step used to identify potential impairment is the comparison of the fair value of the item with its carrying amount, including goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. We operate as one company, and, therefore, compare our book value to market value, which management must determine upon review based on similar transactions. If our fair value exceeds our book value, our goodwill is considered not impaired. If the book value exceeds the fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired and management must measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. For the measurement step, if the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the estimated fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The fair value estimate requires that future cash flows relating to the acquisition of LabMentors be forecasted. These forecasts require management to make assumptions on the future sale of current and future products and services, future market conditions, technological advances, future growth rates, and discount rates utilized. Any loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill is its new accounting basis.
We undertook an impairment review at the end of the prior fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. After reviewing the prior operating losses and future growth potential of the subsidiary, the Company determined that an impairment of $282,550 was necessary.

b. Litigation
(i) PCS Edventures!.com Inc., v. Jackie DeLuna and Infusing Technology K12, LLC (United States District Court for the district of Idaho, Case NO. CV-08-00379-BLW). The Company initiated this trademark infringement suit against defendants. Defendants asserted counterclaims for trademark and copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of contract based on alleged underpayment of royalties under two license agreements with the Company and sought an accounting. The parties settled their dispute pursuant to an agreement that does not involve payment of money by either party. The Court dismissed the case with prejudice on November 9, 2009.
(ii) Status of SEC Proceedings: As previously reported, the staff of the SECs Salt Lake City, Utah, regional office (Staff) has been conducting a non-public investigation to determine whether the Company and/or members of its management or staff violated certain provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). Information about the investigation was previously disclosed in Part I Item 3 of PCS 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, in Part II Item 1 of its 10-Q Quarterly Reports for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, and in footnotes to PCS consolidated financial statements contained in those reports. PCS has cooperated fully in providing information and documentation to the SEC Staff during the SECs investigation.
The SEC investigation relates to disclosures made by the Company in its 8-K Current Report dated March 27, 2007 concerning its March 28, 2007 press release that announced a License Agreement with Global Techniques dba PCS Middle East (PCS ME). The investigation has focused on SEC rules promulgated under the Exchange Act respecting book and record-keeping procedures, internal controls, and certain matters related to the Companys relationships with its prior auditors, all apparently related to the PCS ME disclosures and agreements and the accounting treatment of these matters, and to sales of shares of the Companys common stock by members of management following the issuance of the press release.
The amount due under the License Agreement was not paid when due, as disclosed in the Companys 8-K/A Current Report dated March 27, 2007 and filed with the SEC on May 17, 2007. Members of management sold an aggregate of 161,500 shares of the Companys common stock between April 2, 2007 and May 9, 2007, for total proceeds of $330,460. The License Agreement revenue was never booked in the Companys public financial statements, as the payment was not received by the time the audit of the Companys March 31, 2007 fiscal year end financial statements was completed.
The Company had a prior five year relationship with PCS ME at the time of the announcement of the License Agreement, including implementation of several pilot programs in Saudi Arabia schools in 2005 and 2006 and receipt of a December 27, 2006 letter from the Saudi Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Education Contacting Department supporting PCS proposals advanced by PCS ME. The Company has continued the licensing of its educational products in the Middle East with PCS ME, having sold additional PCS products to PCS ME for approximately $160,000 since 2007. The Company extended a $250,000 loan jointly to PCS ME and its principal owner, Mohamed Yasser Refai, on or about October 1, 2007, as disclosed in the Companys 8-K Current Report of that date. The loan was due on the earlier of the payment of the License Agreement or January 31, 2008, and was secured by an
13
Assignment of Equity amounting to a 25% interest in PCS ME. However, that interest was not perfected. Because the $250,000 loan to PCS ME was not paid when due, it was written off as of December 31, 2007, The Company had and currently has no interest in PCS ME. The Company and PCS ME continue to work on completing the entire License Agreement disclosed on March 27, 2007 and the over-all project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is tied to that agreement.
Depositions of certain directors and executive officers were taken by the SEC staff in late June 2009, and focused on what the SEC apparently believes to be discrepancies in the factors upon which the Company relied in forming its reasonable basis for announcing the License Agreement (including that payment under the License PCS Agreement was contingent upon PCS ME obtaining payment from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that would become the end-user of the Companys products, which the Company believed was imminent), along with auditor and internal control concerns about whether the License Agreement was collectible or bookable, and the sales of shares of the Companys common stock by certain members of management during this period.
As reported in the Companys Form 8-K Current Report filed October 19, 2009 and the press release filed as an exhibit to that report. The Company received a Wells Notice on October 16, 2009 informing PCS of the Staffs intention to recommend to the Commission that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against PCS alleging that it violated Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-11 thereunder in connection with the disclosures made by the Company in its 8-K Current Report dated March 27, 2007 and in the related Press Release that announced the PCS ME License Agreement, subsequent sales of PCS stock by certain PCS officers and directors, book and record-keeping procedures and internal controls relating to revenue recognition from the License Agreement, and later disclosures concerning the License Agreement. Wells Notices were also issued to the Chairman of the Board/Chief Executive Officer; the Executive Vice President/Chief Technology Officer; a Director; and a former officer.
In connection with the contemplated recommendation, the Staff may seek remedies including, among other things, a permanent injunction against future violations of federal securities laws, civil monetary penalties and, in the case of the individual Wells Notice recipients, disgorgement of PCS stock sale proceeds and a bar against continued service as officers or directors of PCS.
Under a process established by the SEC, PCS and each of the other recipients of the Wells Notices had the opportunity to submit any reasons of law, policy or fact why they believe that a civil injunctive action should not be brought (a Wells Submission) before the Staff makes its recommendation to the Commission regarding what action, if any, should be brought. PCS and the other Wells Notice recipients made their respective Wells Submissions in December 2009. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not received any communication from the Staff in response to the Wells Submissions. There can be no assurance that the SEC will not decide to bring an action against PCS and/or the officers and directors who have also received Wells Notices.
Under its bylaws, PCS is obligated, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to indemnify and advance expenses to current and former officers and directors in connection with the SEC investigation and any subsequent SEC enforcement actions. The costs incurred by PCS in addressing the SEC investigation and possible enforcement proceedings, including the anticipated costs of indemnification of PCS officers and directors, have had, and if the SEC staff recommends commencement of an SEC enforcement action will likely continue to have, a material adverse effect on PCS business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows (including its liquidity and its plan of operation as outlined in managements discussion and analysis in PCS most recent 10-K and 10-Q Reports, including this Report). The investigation and possible enforcement proceedings could result in adverse publicity and divert the efforts and attention of PCS executive management team from ordinary business operations.
PCS directors and officers insurance carrier has denied coverage of any claims relating to the SEC investigation, including defense costs, based on its contention that PCS did not give the insurer timely notice of the SECs formal non-public order commencing the investigation or the related issuance of subpoenas by the SEC. PCS disagrees with the carriers coverage position and is considering litigation to require the insurer to satisfy its contractual obligations. There can be no assurance that the insurer will reimburse the legal expenses associated with the SEC investigation or any subsequent enforcement action that may be commenced in the future.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is based on 38,164,876 and 37,619,538, respectively, of weighted average common shares outstanding. No adjustment has been made for any common stock equivalents outstanding because their effects would be antidilutive.

NOTE 12 DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

NOTE 13 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company changed its revenue recognition policy to recognize product revenue when the weighted average cost of goods reached 100% shipped. This change created an immaterial increased loss of $(43,498) which was treated retrospectively. We believe this change to be more conservative and will not create a material effect on our financial statements. In addition, it will allow for revenue to be uniformly applied Company wide and allow for greater transparency to users of the financial statements, in that it is less complicated and a more commonly used manner of recognition.

Results of Operations
Three-month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to three-month period ended December 31, 2008.
The quarter ended December 31, 2009, resulted in a net loss of ($560,835) as compared to the net loss during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of ($567,778). The Companys losses decreased by $6,943, or approximately one percent (1%), as compared to the same three month period during the prior fiscal year. The Basic Loss per Share for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 is ($0.01), which is a $0.01 increase in Basic Loss per Share from the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, of ($0.02) per share. The quarter ended December 31, 2009.
The non-GAAP financial measure of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation (EBITDA) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 was a loss of approximately ($539,242), as compared to the EBITDA for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 of approximately ($567,778).
17
The non-GAAP financial measure of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, FAS 123(R) Option/Warrant Expense, Stock Compensation, and Loss on Inventory mark to market for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 was a loss of approximately ($375,848) as compared to the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, FAS123(R) Option/Warrant Expense, Stock Compensation, and Loss on Inventory mark to market of approximately ($419,703) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. a loss
Revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 increased to $577,004 by approximately $259,084, or eighty-one percent (81%), as compared to revenues of $317,920 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. PCS Edventures!.com as a separate segment had an increase in sales of approximately $156,622, or fifty-four percent (54%), while LabMentors continued to complement the parent Companys growth with an increase in revenues of $102,462 or three hundred seventy-three percent (373%).
Operating expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 increased by approximately $185,631, or twenty-five percent (25%), to $924,700 as compared to operating expenses of $739,069 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. This increase was due to unusually high legal expenses in the amount of approximately $322,472 associated with the SEC investigation and Wells Notice responses by the Company and certain of its management. When adjusted for unusually high legal fees, the operating expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 would have decreased approximately $136,841, or eighteen percent (18%) compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
Nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to nine-month period ended December 31, 2008.
Revenues for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $1,841,608 or by approximately ($474,139), or twenty percent (20%), as compared to revenues of $2,315,747 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008. Although revenue decreased during the nine-month period ending December 31, 2009, there was upward movement in both PCS and LabMentors revenue, during the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 increased by approximately $253,779, or eleven percent (11%), to $2,525,891 as compared to operating expenses of $2,272,112 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008. This increase is due to increased legal expenses of approximately $446,996 as related to the SEC investigation and Wells notice responses by the Company and certain of its management, but was offset by cost cutting and other operational efficiency measures that became effective May 1, 2009. When adjusted for the unusually high legal fees, the operating expenses for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 would have decreased by approximately $203,216, or nine percent (9%), as compared to the nine months ended December31, 2008.
The Company incurred a net loss of ($1,455,405) during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the net loss of ($1,024,586) during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008. representing an increased loss of ($430,819), or approximately fortytwo percent (42%), over the prior year period. The Basic Loss per Share for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 is ($0.04), which is a ($0.01) decrease in Basic Loss per Share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 of ($0.03) per share. For the nine months ending December 31, 2009, total legal and other expenses related to the SEC investigation and the Wells Submissions by the Company and certain if its management were approximately $446,996. These costs are not historically representative of the Companys legal expenses and have significantly contributed to the current operating loss.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2009, we had $236,463 in cash, with total current assets of $782,343 and total current liabilities of $721,417. We have an accumulated deficit of ($32,262,886) and stockholders equity of $660,259. Of the $721,417 in current liabilities, approximately $152,000 is due to our Board of Directors for services performed for the period October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009. Accrued and future compensation for services as a director will be paid in equity issued pursuant to the Companys 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.
The Company has a current ratio of 1.08. The ratio, while lower than in the past, indicates that we have worked hard managing debt and have utilized available resources well in an effort to continue Company growth through internal and external means. We have reported the current ratio rather than the quick ratio due to the fact that most items in inventory are easily saleable should the need to liquidate arise.
18
The Company has working capital of $60,926 at December 31, 2009. The working capital indicates that our ability to pay current debt obligations through our current assets is favorable.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (who is also our acting Chief Financial Officer) and with the assistance of our Audit Committee, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
Based on that evaluation, Anthony A. Maher, the chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were, subject to the limitations noted above, not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, and our Audit Committee as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the Audit Committee, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information.
(i) Stock Issued as Compensation As a cost-cutting measure and to avoid layoffs of employees, the Company reduced the salaries of the Companys officers and its other employees (collectively, Employees) by 20% and 10%, respectively, beginning in May 2009 and continuing to date.
To motivate such officers and Employees to continue to work for the Company and to continue to work efficiently and productively, the Company offered to issue to each such Employee, for each payroll period, PCS common stock with a current fair market value corresponding to the amount of the Employees salary reduction, and to allow each such Employee to elect to receive either free trading PCS common stock at then current market value or restricted PCS common stock at a 20% discount to then current market value. The Companys management erroneously believed that the Company could issue free trading stock pursuant to the Companys Form S-8 registration statement as filed with the SEC on May 21, 2004 and amended by Form S-8A filed January 4, 2008 (the 2004 Form S-8 Registration Statement).
In early October, management became aware that this belief was incorrect. Management immediately imposed a blackout on Employee sales of the unlegended shares and conducted an investigation to determine whether any of those shares had been sold by Employees. The investigation revealed that two Employees sold a total of 4380 shares of PCS common stock issued by the Company under the mistaken belief that such shares were free trading shares.
In conjunction with its investigation, management reported to the Board of Directors that the Company had issued unlegended certificates representing a total of 222,815 shares of Company common stock to employees and independent contractors in other instances during the period from August 2006 through April 2009 in the belief that such shares could be issued as free trading shares under the 2004 Form S-8 Registration Statement. Of those shares, 33,673 shares (issued in 2007) were held by the recipients for less than six months, 75,000 shares (issued in 2009) were held by a non-affiliate for more than six months, and the remaining shares were held more than one year or continue to be held by the recipients as of September 30, 2009. The 33,673 shares issued in 2007 were transferred more than one year prior to the date of this Quarterly Report; and the Company is advised by counsel that rescission claims by the transferees based on the sale of unregistered securities are barred by applicable federal and state statutes of limitation. Civil penalties could be assessed by the SEC in connection with such resales if they did not comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 or were not otherwise exempt pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933.
At the annual meeting of the Companys shareholders on August 27, 2009, the shareholders approved the PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (2009 Plan) which authorizes the board of directors to grant stock awards purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions. The Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement on November 19, 2009 registering the shares of PCS common stock issued or issuable pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.
The unsold shares of PCS common stock issued to Employees as free trading shares to offset salary reductions are being cancelled and the Company is replacing those shares with shares of PCS common stock issued under the 2009 Plan and registered under the new S-8 Registration Statement in those amounts and to those Employees who elected to receive free trading shares to offset their salary reduction.
The Board of Directors has reaffirmed and directed that all commitments and recommendations to issue Companys common stock must be pre-approved by the Board. The Board also directed the Company (i) to use reasonable best efforts to identify the purchasers of the 4380 shares of PCS stock that were designated free trading shares and that were previously sold by Employees during 2009 and (ii) if such purchasers can be identified without
21
undue cost or diversion of Companys employees from their regular duties, to offer to repurchase those shares from each such purchaser for the amount paid by such purchaser if the purchaser still owns the stock or, if the purchaser no longer owns the stock, the difference between the amount paid by the purchaser and the amount received upon resale.
The Board of Directors has authorized the continuation of managements plan to avoid layoffs of the Employees by offering to offset salary reductions by issuing Company stock pursuant to the 2009 Plan in order to retain such Employees and reward them for continued efforts on behalf of the Company.
(ii) Material Event in Management On November 30, 2009, the Company announced that its CEO and Acting CFO, Anthony A. Maher, suffered a heart attack. Following insertion of a stent to clear a blockage, Mr. Maher is progressing towards a full recovery. Mr. Maher continues to manage the Company as its CEO, Acting CFO, and a director.
