"The gathering of all information necessary to obtain the opinion from our attorney took considerable time and effort. This was necessary to ensure him of the credibility of Drake's current management team and their efforts of taking the company into its business-expansion plan, following the executive summary as previously announced," Mr. Conar concluded.
