Audited financials and uplisting appear to be the latest attempt by pink sheet companies to gain investor confidence. Several stocks I follow have stated that this is their intention. I'm not saying CKYS is leading us on about this, but so far none of the other companies on my list have posted audited financials. I wouldn't wait in anxious anticipation for this to happen here either. This is all just my opinion, the value of which is negligible to nil.
