SEC EDGAR filing codes are used to submit documents to the EDGAR system in addition to accessing online tools and web sites. These codes are created and provided when a company or insider registers with the SEC as an EDGAR filer.

The CIK and CCC codes are used to make submissions to the SEC on behalf a filer. We will require these codes before we can file documents on your behalf.

CIK (Central Index Key)
The CIK is a unique, public number that is assigned to each entity that submits filings to the SEC. Use of the CIK allows the SEC to differentiate between filing entities with similar names.

CCC (CIK Confirmation Code)
The CCC is a code used in combination with the CIK to submit a filing via EDGAR. The CCC is eight characters having at least one number (0-9) and at least one special character (@, #, $, *). The CCC is also case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as created, in lower case.

Password
As the CIK code is public, this second, confidential code is necessary to ensure that whoever is sending a submission to EDGAR is authorized to do so. It is used in combination with a CIK to log into the web sites for submitting filings and Section 16 reports (Forms 3, 4, and 5). The password is a code of eight characters having at least one number (0-9) and at least one special character (@, #, $, *). The password is also case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as created, in lower case. The password is meant to be a private code and should be held in strictest confidence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the EDGAR Filer Management website. This website provides an electronic interface which implements the basic capabilities needed by a filer to gain access to the EDGAR system. (Note: If you or your company intend to file with the SEC via paper forms only, you needn't do anything involving this website.)

Access to the capabilities provided by this website is via the menu to the left. A brief description of the capability provided via each follows: please refer to the EDGAR Filer Manual for more complete descriptions.

• Apply for EDGAR Access (New)
Use this link if you as an individual, another individual whom you represent, or a company that you represent is new to filing electronically with the SEC. If the potential filer already has an EDGAR Central Index Key (CIK), use one of the other links on this website to resolve any EDGAR access issues.

• Generate Access Codes (New/Replacement)
Use this link to generate a set of EDGAR access codes (i.e., PMAC, Password and CCC) when:
- your initial application for EDGAR access has been accepted (new user),
- your password has expired (existing user),
- you have forgotten all of your EDGAR access codes (existing user), or
- you need to change your access codes for security reasons (i.e., they have been compromised).


• Update Passphrase
Use this link to reset your EDGAR Passphrase if you have forgotten it or it has been compromised.

• Convert Paper Only Filer to Electronic Filer
Use this link if your company has been filing with the SEC via paper forms only and it has become necessary to file electronically.

• EDGAR Access for New Serial Companies
Use this link to apply for EDGAR access when a new serial company has been created via a Form 424B which has been submitted and accepted by the SEC.

. GENERATING EDGAR ACCESS CODES
There are two methods for generating access codes on the EDGAR system. The first is to generate all of the codes when the EDGAR system has accepted your application for access. Generally, there are three situations when this process is used:

• For a new electronic filer.

• For an electronic filer who has forgotten their EDGAR access codes.

• For an electronic filer who wants to change EDGAR access codes for security purposes.

• For an electronic filer whose password has expired.

Section 4.1, Generating All EDGAR Access Codes, explains generating a complete set of access codes. If your Form ID application for EDGAR access has not been accepted by the SEC, please refer to Section 3.2, New SEC Filer: Applying for EDGAR Access. If you are an existing filer and would like to change individual codes, either your CCC or Password, Section 4.1.3, Changing your CCC or Password, explains this process. Finally, some filers who have not logged onto the EDGAR system since the origination of passphrases may be asked to create a passphrase for the first time. Please see Section 4.1.4, Creating a Passphrase for the First Time, for details.

The second method of generating access codes is to generate them individually. In Section 4.1.1, Requesting an EDGAR Passphrase, the process for requesting an EDGAR passphrase is described.

OH, YOU SAY, THAT'S NICE, BUT HOW DO I LOOK UP SLJB TO SEE IF WE HAVE A CIK NUMBER YET?

HEY, SULJA HAS NO CIK NUMBER YET!

HINT: MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SEARCHING UNDER THE EXACT NAME. Like it says: "NOTE: The name may be listed differently than you would expect."

Beam me down, Gig. I have a transponder.
