I talked to SLJB investor relations (Leslie) over the phone today. She said they are trying to have the audit complete before 5 July. She also said that the OSC had requested another extension beyond the 5 July date and that SLJB lawyers had declined the OSC request.

I asked for an update on the audit and she said that she could only say they are trying to have it done before 5 July. She said something about having more information by next week and I asked if it was okay for me to call back next week. She said yes.

The first time I called I was forwarded to a voice mail that was full. The second time I called I mentioned the full voice mail. I was then forwarded to another lady that said, "oh, you want to talk to Leslie". That's when I finally talked to Leslie. Leslie is very busy and told me that she can't always get to the phone.

I asked, "So, how's business?" She said this is a busy time in the year and business is good. She's happy about the Calgary location. I also asked, "how does the acquisition of SAM's fit into the SLJB equation?" It was a question I know the answer to but I just wanted to see how she received and answered it. She answered fine... Drywall, other building materials that will fit into SLJB Building Supply.. yada yada...

She asked me my name, twice. I told her my first and last name both times. I have nothing to hide. It was pretty obvious that she's wary of "bashers" or what I would call bullies calling.

She definitely sounds like someone stressed and busy. Maybe not the best for IR but that doesn't bother me too much.

If you call, try to be concise and to the point. Don't be rude and don't make accusations. Let the OSC handle being rude and tossing around accusations and asking for extensions to build a better case after being derailed by facts that don't support the OSC case.

Just keep it short and then post what you thought of what SLJB IR had to say.
