21:02 < schultmc> Martin, Héctor and I have been working with our auditor to get our 2021
21:02 < schultmc> financial statements audited. We are also working with the auditing firm
21:02 < schultmc> on filing our New York State and Federal annual filings. We have received
21:02 < schultmc> a 6 month extension for the time to file and are confident the filings will
21:02 < schultmc> be completed by the November 15, 2022 deadline.
21:02 < schultmc> .
21:02 < schultmc> Continued thanks to SPI Vice President, Stephen Frost, for handling contracting
21:02 < schultmc> with SPI's contractors. Stephen continues to do a fantastic job working with our
21:02 < schultmc> contractors and legal counsel.

21:02 < schultmc> .
21:02 < schultmc> Snow-Man: do you have anything to add?
21:02 < Snow-Man> Not really, I believe Hector was able to take care of signing a contract that came up with some urgency or at least is handling it.
