SLJB was supposed to do an Internal Review over a year ago and report back to its shareholders.

A little overdue .... don't you think?

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also informed the Company that the SEC is conducting an inquiry into the matters that are the subject of the OSC proceeding. The Company is cooperating with the SEC.
For the foreseeable future, the Company does not intend to respond to requests for information from shareholders or other interested parties except to refer them to this press release and any subsequent releases issued by the Company. The Company will provide any updates as to the matters referred to herein through broadly disseminated press releases, but cannot predict when it will make any such updates.
