Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Original Filing”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2014 (the “Original Filing Date”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to include Exhibits 23.1 and 23.2, Consents of Anderson Bradshaw PLLC, which was inadvertently omitted from the original filing.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, this Amendment also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements or financial information have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Original Filing, and this Amendment does not modify, amend or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date.
