I am pleased to meet you, and thank you for reaching out to Inca One. If you have follow our development to this point you will know that the company operations slowed down primarily to lack of capital to sustain operations at capacity due to the VAT situation that developed with our Chala One SAC ramp up in the summer of 2015. After undergoing an extensive and difficult SUNAT (Peru Tax authority) audit, our first refund cheque arrived in early February and since then, the company was moved to the large scale group enacting further refunds and a normalized monthly reporting process. However, we still have approximately US$2 million tied up in this process awaiting payment to Inca One. it is important to know that the company has been told by the tax authority that these will be settled and paid in the near future. I am sure you can appreciate the difficulty to main operations amidst so much capital tied up for this lengthy period of time. The company had sourced financing late last year to help fund operations but the raise was smaller than initially anticipated as the mood in the market in November and December was difficult to raise capital. Also, management realized that the company required to address some balance sheet restructuring, and has been working toward this over the last few months. This will enable the company to raise funds, that in addition to our expected tax refunds, should enable Inca One to build up its mineral supplies and sustain operations, now that the VAT process seems to have been cleared up, and we should no longer have to deal with the lengthy delays in receiving our money back from the government. Again, once the balance sheet issues are complete, management has funds committed by interested parties to be invested into operations. Therefore, once recapitalized mill feed can quickly increase and operations can ramp up again and we can proceed toward positive cash flow as you discuss. Please do not hesitate to contact me again in the future with any questions you may have. Thank you,
