It costs an additional $500,000- $1,000,000 for firms to meet the new (much stricter) 2002 SOX reporting requirements for the SEC, including but not limited to compliance costs, such as accounting, legal and consulting fees. It would make no sense for EPGL to cough that up before they started generating revenue. To many small company managers, this is real money that may be spent in better ways, such as growing the business or paying down debt. Who knows what exactly EPGL needs to go reporting again, but they have been restructuring nicely. They will have the money soon enough, then we may need to wait for an audit... who knows. I'm fine waiting if need be. Revenue numbers will silence all the nay-sayers.
