The bonds tendered are then resold by the remarketing agent in the secondary market to other investors.  Because VRDNs allow the holder to demand purchase by the issuer, the issuer must have some form of liquidity or credit support in order to meet demand.  The most common forms of liquidity support are lines of credit, standby purchase agreements or letters of credit issued by financial institutions.</font></p>

We have not conducted an analysis to determine which of its instruments contain the market rating provisions for the put options.  Through discussions with our investment manager, it would not be practicable for us to monitor the nature of these put options on an ongoing basis. As such, we concluded that, due to our inability to monitor changes in the demand provisions of these instruments we should reclassify the amounts as a short-term marketable security.  </font></p>

In reference to our stock price, there was a significant increase in our stock price resulting from a positive reception of our quarterly results reported in our press release for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This press release also included disclosure of the reclassification. This activity underscores the continued focus on our operating results rather than the presentation of our current assets.

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:1.04in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:1.04in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>a. Information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements. It is implicit in this condition that it must be probable that one or more future events will occur confirming the fact of the loss.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:1.04in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:12pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:1in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>While we believe SFAS 5 is applicable, we have also looked to other guidance.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 60, </font><i><font size=2>Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises </font></i><font size=2>(&#147;SFAS 60&#148;) and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide </font><i><font size=2>Property and Liability Insurance Companies</font></i><font size=2> establish accounting and reporting standards for the general-purpose financial statements of stock life insurance enterprises, property and liability insurance enterprises, title insurance enterprises, mutual life insurance enterprises, assessment enterprises, and fraternal benefit societies.  While we do provide workers&#146; compensation coverage to our PEO customers under our self insurance program, we are not registered as an insurance company nor is our core business centered on providing insurance coverage. Based
on these considerations we have determined that at the consolidated level, we do not qualify as an insurance company for financial reporting purposes; however, we have referenced SFAS 60 and the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for additional guidance on losses related to workers compensation claims.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:1.04in;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>SFAS 60 requires that a liability for unpaid claim costs relating to insurance contracts, including estimates of costs relating to incurred but not reported claims, shall be accrued when insured events occur. The liability for unpaid claims shall be based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling the claims, using past experience adjusted for current trends, and any other factors that would modify past experience. Changes in estimates of claim costs resulting from the continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for claims shall be recognized in income in the period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made.  </font></p>

While the transactions range in size, the profile of the acquired businesses is similar in that there are few tangible assets and the acquired businesses offer access to an established staffing or PEO company in a new geographic region.  The allocation of purchase price generally results in a small allocation to tangible assets and non-compete agreements with the remaining fair value determined to be goodwill.</font></p>

We have attempted to accomplish this objective through opening new offices and building an operation with new personnel. We have found that this process is very difficult because of the importance of the relationships in the market place.  Success is heavily dependant on an established service and management team with deep relationships in the market.  Our most difficult business challenge in a particular region is to find an established and effective management team with familiarity and contacts with the local market. We have not had success in attracting these individuals to new start-up offices. As such, we have focused our strategy on locating and purchasing established businesses with an assembled work force that matches this profile. In our negotiations and in determining
the price we were willing to pay, our primary consideration is the strength and stability of the acquired work force and its effectiveness in the market of interest.    </font></p>

As indicated above, customers of the PEO and staffing business place significant value on the relationship with the contact at the human resource company and/or the quality of the temporary employees in the staffing pool. In the absence of the management team responsible for these relationships and the established staffing pool, the business has little or no value.  </font></p>

Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5:M, </font><i><font size=2>Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities</font></i><font size=2> (&#147;topic 5:M&#148;) states that &#147;such declines require further investigation by management. Acting upon the premise that a write-down may be required, management should consider all available evidence to evaluate the realizable value of its investment.&#148; Topic 5:M goes on to say that &#147;there are numerous factors to be considered in such an evaluation and their relative significance will vary from case to case.&#148;  There are three primary factors that &#147;individually or in combination, indicate that a decline
is other than temporary and that a write-down of the carrying value is required.&#148; The three factors listed in the bulletin are as follows:</font></p>

Financial institutions, facing regulatory requirements which create needs to increase capital, were being forced to sell into a falling market.  Hedge funds also have leverage arrangements that incorporate ratio requirements relating to the value of the assets which serve to collateralize the loans. When the value of the collateral declines, margin calls are triggered, which in turn precipitate sales of assets to create liquidity to meet the margin calls. This sequence of events is exacerbated when these entities are forced to create liquidity by selling into a falling market. This dynamic is why management did not deem the then current
market values to be &#147;fair value&#148; over the longer term at December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. </font></p> </td> </tr></table>
